The last rep of bench was rough but I kind of attribute it to the fact that I am trying to get sick right now. Squat was nice. I still hate rows.

Nice Lifts Shades!

Doin real well, If i was you, i would stick with the entire 9week run through. Im SO GLAD I DID. Honnestly. I was starting to get bored with the routine, but ALL my lifts went up.

Im on week 8, so i got one more to go. I MIGHT switch it up, just for a couple weeks incoroporate some band/chain work, but if i dont platueu im sticking with the program.

You got some really nice numbers bro keep it up.

Shades, as a future doctor, whats your opinion on Vitamin-C loading to prevent a cold if you catch it in the early stages?? My experience has been if I catch it early, I can stop it dead in it's tracks, if I already have been nailed, it just has to run its course.....The past couple of months, I have just been mega-dosing with C and I have been feeling pretty good, despite destroying myself with volume in training.

Shades going to become a future doctor? NICE! im going for my Master in nutrition to become a R.D. See you in the field brother!

BigT, when i start getting sick, heres what i do...

Megadose

Vit C
Zinc
b12

Take your reg multi vitamin, but up the VIT C, ZINC, and the b12

It usually stopes my sickness in its tracks.

Example:
GF has 2 little sisters, always sick, GF gets sick, doesnt listen to me about stopping it before it starts. Shes sick for 1 and half week, really sick. Puking/fever etc. Not me, Felt slight symtoms for 2 days, but kicked it.
Imagine almost sick for only 2 days or completey fucked for 12 lol.

Guys I havent been around in a while but this is what is up. I was sick/busy last week so I only got one workout in. I felt like ass so I didn't want to make myself sicker. So I picked back up this week and got back in the gym. I haven't died or anything!
