digitaldiscipline: (new back)
Today was "Work Off the Stupid".



- 225# - 9x10 + 1x5 (my hands gave up, and the sweat plus chalk had turned to mush despite my best efforts)

I didn't do any additional exercises paired with this. Most of the immediate muscle fatigue is in my mid-back, there's a little bit in my quads, and almost none to speak of in my glutes/hamstrings/traps.

For those of you who may be interested in my supplement regimen, it seems germane to point out that I took a serving of NoXplode (the next-to-last one in the bottle I got some months ago from Affordable Supplements; I only use it on days I know I'm going to push extra hard) and Surge Workout Fuel -- the combination of blue raspberry and lemonade flavors works fairly well. During the workout, I had some more SWF (30 minutes in a 90 degree gym, even with a fan, is a sweaty proposition, so hydration matters). Afterwards, I mixed some Cellmass with the remainder of the SWF (grape and lemonade isn't quite as tasty, but when your body is saying "DUDE, PROTEIN, CARBS, AND AMINO ACIDS, NOW," it works), along with a couple fish oil capsules, two ibuprofen (as anti-inflammatories -- just in the course of writing this, my back's calmed right the fuck down), and a couple branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) tablets.

There's a bit more explanation of the 10x10 methodology at the link, for anyone interested.

There's also another post with the fullsize version of the new icon pic and some snark aimed at AskMen.com

yeah, i picked up a small block for $2.99 at sports authority. trying to keep my callous collection under control a little.

by the end, i basically had bar slurry, since i had to reapply after just about every set (standing around, sweating, running down to my hands and mixing with the chalk... oh yeah, it's sexy)

eeeh, you should have seen the olympic weightlifting videos from this past year - they weren't televised here in the 'states but you could really learn a lot from them for instance: when wearing black or other dark colors, do NOT scratch or adjust sensitive areas after chalking up - THE WORLD WILL KNOW!!!!!!
