after a month of false starts due to a frigid cellar, spring has finally arrived at a near tropical 60 degrees downstairs.
did a full short upper and maintained a decent sugar level throughout.
tried something different in my supplement regimen too.
for the first time i 'stacked' 2 products......
no-xplode and cellmass.
worked really well and the increase in strength was very obvious.
10 easy reps compared with the usual 7 or 8 on all 3 sets.
when the supplies of the stuff runs out in a week or so i'm taking off for a few weeks as per instructions on the bottles but, i will return using the same stuff albeit optimum nutrition stuff instead of bsn.
optimum's protein products are just friggin' great so WTF, i'll try their exercise supplements too.
looks like i'm settling into a long range fitness regimen and loving it.
going to the docs' on monday so we'll see how the numbers run and adjust accordingly.
good news on another front, social security disabled me so now i can afford my supplements without any guilt.

no splat today
the saying goes....
if you use the same methods over and over the results will never change.
started reading another 15 year old bodybuilding book that i had laying around.
took some sniglets from it.
tweaked my morning protein shake by stacking casein and whey.
got 3 good solid sets of upper body work and NO HYPOGLYCEMIA!
132 at the end.
103 beginning 3rd set.
102 beginning 2nd set.
121 beginning 1st set.
let's see how i do tomorrow.
going to tweak timing a bit, thinking about starting a 'do not disturb' timeframe from when i start downing my first shake in the morning 'til i finish my elliptical cooldown.
change up when hitting a wall.

STILL SPLATTING
still hitting the hypoglycemia wall, might have found a solution.........
'nitro core 24' by optimum nutrition.
fast digesting and slow digesting amino acids in the same shake in the right proportion.
i'm getting some asap.
if this works, i'm back 'on the bicycle'.

splat
talk about hitting a wall.
blood sugar/energy levels are plummeting in only one set.
been poking about 160/165 at beginning of first set and 105/95 after first set.
this aint good.
tomorrow i'm going to stack whey and casein powder in my AM milkshake and see if that cures it.
i've been getting around the sugar jones by throwing in a second fast set about 5pm.
more to follow tomorrow.
