3/10

The Hamm's beer left me with a upset stomach but not a head ache.

Thanks and actually, I used this stack from Palo Alto Labs last fall and really liked it. I wasn't eating so great, as the pictures will tell you, but I noticed when I was in the gym I was sweating twice as much and felt it for some time after my workouts.

Half good, half crappy.

You really want to read about me working with DB's ranging from 5-12lbs and working on a stability ball?

idk...i just like to see the progress. Maybe you're pressing 60's this week for 10, but you can get 75's for 10 a couple weeks later y'know? Again, nothin personal on the ball-breakin. Keep hittin it hard bro.

Ha, my journals at home and I'm at school now. When I go home to work tomorrow I'll grab it and edit last Friday, just for you.

Notes: My BJJ conditioning class was canceled due to Mother's day, bah. I went to the gym and farted around with some things.

I read an article a few days ago about doing rehab and prehab exercises as a warm up and decided to give it a try. I have horrible case of "upper cross syndrome" aka internally rotated humerus's. I would like to fix that for posture purposes. What I put together above takes about 10 minutes to complete. I will continue with this from here on out.

I have a pulling sled from my power lifting days and decided to put it to some use for conditioning. I went and picked up a weight lifting belt, attached some rope to my sled and the belt, and threw on some work gloves. I went out back of my gym and loaded a 35 pound plate on the sled and did a bear crawl with the sled.

I really think this will be a kick ass exercise for both leg strength and conditioning. I do need to add more weight and take a shorter rest period next time. Today was the experiment with them.

I will try and get a video of this one of these days for you guys to see and get a idea of what I am doing.

*I did some budgeting and found that I will be able to continue taking 3 caps of Fish Fats.

**I went to the local Wal-Mart today and saw some creatine formula produced by Body Fortress and decided to give it a shot. It was $12 for 30 days worth so you really can't go to wrong. I'll only be taking this product prior to lifting or BJJ and on the off days I will be taking just plain creatine monohydrate. The creatine cocktail has 33 grams of sugar in it and I won't be needing that on my off days.

Heres the creatine cocktail:
