I'm running out of supplements. Time to stock up again. Damn... My wallet is going to take a hit. It looks like protein powder prices got jacked up since the last time I stocked up.

 

[OMEGA]

protein PRICES will increase 2 more times

1) Dollar drop reason

2) Inflation with fuel and energy surcharges

it blows lol

I really like this workout day. I feel great afterwards. The only bad thing about this day is that it takes a long time to complete my workout.

My throat is feeling a little off. It's a feeling I usually get right before I get sick. One of my coworkers has been sick for like 2 weeks and a couple of people have got infected already. If I got infected and I have to miss out on valuable gym time, I'm going to be pissed. I'm taking some zinc lozenges and I'm hoping that I'm ok.

Week 6 day 5

cardio completed - 26 minutes at 6.5mph and 4 minutes at 7mph

My throat is still feeling a bit off, a bit more than yesterday. Other than that, I'm feeling good and I'm going to continue training.

 

[Trips]

I definitely caught something and I'm not 100%. I still worked out yesterday and today. I will probably not be logging my workouts here everyday since we don't have to but I'll still keep track of what I'm doing.

I'm looking forward to phase 3. I can see the outline of my abs but I need to cut fat to get some solid cuts there.

 

[OMEGA]

the cutting will come

I will call each of you, you have to do it a certain way but AM sure you will all succeed

its hardcore only mentally but is extremely efficient

I got my lipostack ultra order in the mail today. And just in time too... I only had two lipoflame caps left and I was wondering if I should save it for cardio day or use it today. Lucky for me, I didn't have to make that decision.

I'm looking forward to phase 3.

 

[OMEGA]

lol

nice

are you pretty happy with how things are flowing?

 

[Trips]

The workouts are flowing ok and I'm feeling good about how things are going. I'm feeling a little stronger these days. It felt like I was at a sticking point on a lot of my lifts for awhile. Maybe it was due to me increasing the cardio intensity on my runs? I've switched to running intervals for cardio instead of continuous running.

 

[OMEGA]

good good that fine about intervals

I notice as well that running increases strength when used in moderation YES
