I have been using a straight 300mg magnesium tablet instead of a ZMA mix for the last two months and it seems to work great!

Bwt in the morning is justa tad over 77kg in the mornings now and seems to be holding even though I've started eating again like a beast. Come to think of it, if I take a shit now I should be under 77. Wow! Perhaps the increased omega-3s I've been taking have helped, since if the 2-3kg weightloss was from the sickness, I would have gained it back by now. Abercrombie and Fitch, here I come.

A&F pays well brotha! lol

i know what u mean about shitting, i think i loose 2-3lbs/day and eat it back up lol

Good work bro!

Biggt inspired me to do some curls.

I spent 10 minutes in my basement doing bicep curls and tricep extensions with a barbell over my head in superset super set fashion. 25lbs x 10 reps for the curl and 65lbs x 10 reps for the extensions. Gayer than ever now. Not allowing myself to leave without doing something useful, I did some Sotts Presses up to 100lbs and scapular pushups

Oh come on, curls are not that bad. Many pros do curls too .

Btw, where in Toronto do you train at? Im planning to start going to a place called GTA school starting next week.

Feels much better to be getting back to the 80%+ range again with the full lifts.

Very easy. Interesting: I was having a little trouble pulling straight early on, bouncing it off my hips again. Hani fixed my starting position (ass a little higher) and this solved everything. I will have to "re-grease" the groove so to say with this new position but so far I like it. Feels like I have more room to pull, and straighter too.
