Thanks BB.

[jdg76]

Got the goods today !
Will take my first dose tonight.





Just some slight cardio and ab work this morning.

10 mins-3/4 mile on The Elliptical crosstrainer

Decline sit-ups 3 sets of 25
Hanging leg raises 2 sets of 10
Hanging knee raises 2 sets of 10

Not used to the whole cardio thing. I think I am the only one on here that doesn't do cardio like I should. Kinda funny, but I am like a newb when it comes to the equiptment.

Anyway, that's a start. Going to try to start doing it 2-3 times a week.

Dosed the HGHup last night at 3 caps just before 8:30. Ate supper at 5:00. So I had a few hrs after any carbs. I went to bed at 9:30. I could not go to sleep until almost 10:30. I was very tired,just tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep? I then woke up every hour thru the night. I finally got up at 4:00 this morning. So I only got about 5 1/2 hrs of broken sleep. I HOPE it was just a fluke !

Dosed the HGHup at 4:05 and the Herculean Ext and 4:20. Headed to the gym 10 mins later. For not sleeping much had a decent w/o.

Quads,hams and calves

Reg squats
165 10x10 (don't know how I managed that? )

Lying leg curls
50 5x10

Standing smith machine calf raises
135 3x25

Not real sure how I managed to get all ten sets in on my squats. Felt good, even though I about threw up after the last two sets.
I probably could of done more on the curls. But I was wearing down pretty quick. I will go with 60 next week and shoot for all ten sets.

On a different note. I know AN advises to be cautious taking the HGHup with a preworkout supp. Which is why I only took half serving of the HX. I did fine through my w/o, for the most part. I was pretty nausiuos tho for the first 20 mins after. Not sure if it was the intensity of the w/o or mixing them. Will keep an eye on it and see how I do.

I hope the recovery aspect of the HGHup is good and kicks in quick. I am already sore tonight. Damn GVT !

I took my evening dose at 8 oclock tonight. Should give me around an hr and a half before I go to bed. Hopefully I sleep better tonight.

Also, I added in some start pics to my first post.

Slept a little better last night. Only took about 15 mins to go to sleep. And only woke up once last night. I woke about 4:30 a.m. which is about normal, but woke without the alarm so that's a first. I stayed in bed and dozed on an off until 5:30. Was a little groggy when I got up, but not bad.

No cardio or w/o today. I was sore as hell! Quads and calves where killing me.

Had a funeral to go to today and met with the family tonight. I am just getting home, so I probably won't get much sleep tonight. Should be able to nap tomorrow if I need to though.

Nothing else really to report yet.

[jdg76]

Got about 5 1/2 hrs sleep last night. Just got up from a 2 hr nap though. Still freaking sore as hell !
Going to the gym here in a bit and will do a full update tonight.

Stoic, HB and Rucks, you all kind finally go out in public tonight. People will just think you have your costumes on !

Day 3
morning dose 2 HGHup
evening dose 3 HGHup 1 1/2 hrs before bed

Even though today should of been my second off day I decided to go ahead to the gym. I wanted to get my routine in order. I will be lifting over the weekend but leg day will fall on Thursday each week (hopefully) and will only have one day I have to work. I will then have a few days to recover and not be on my feet all day.

Sleep - Time and Quality- 5 hrs,slept straight threw
Mental Alertness/Focus-seemed to be able to really concentrate on my form today
Energy-good
Motivation-getting better
Mood/Aggression-very good mood today
Stress-things don't seem to bother me as bad the last few days
Libido-getting better
Joints-no change
Endurance-increasing
Strength-slight increase
Quality of Training-good
Pump and Vascularity-very good today
Muscle Hardness/Density-notice today muscles felt full for along time after my w/o
Body Composition and Look- no change
Appetite-starting to increase
Overall Sense of Feeling- felt really good today

I have commented above on energy, motivation, mood and stress. Thinking about it tonight, I am really surprised about the way I have felt the last few days. My sleep hasn't been the greatest and I haven't been getting much. Usually if I am not sleeping well I am just an ass threw the day. Yet I have been in a pretty good mood all around.
Also my strength was up a little today and seemed to keep my pump for alot longer than normal.

I worked chest and back today.

Incline BB
125 10x10x9x8x8 (last week,125 10x10x9x6x6)

Flat DB bench
55's 10x10x10x10x8 (last week,55's 10x10x9x9x8)

BOBBR
125 10 reps first 6 sets then 9x9x8x7 ( last week 115 10reps 9sets and 9 one set)

Pull-ups
6xBW ( same ) can't believe how hard these are after BOBBR's

So I increased my reps on chest and went heavier on back.
May try to get some cardio in tomorrow. If my abs aren't sore anymore will hit them again also.

evening dose 3 HGHup 1 1/2 hrs before bed

Woke up this morning and my damn legs are still sore. They are getting better as the day goes. Been walking quiet a bit,which seems to help loosen them up. If I feel ok, I will go do some cardio tonight.

Slept a solid 8 hours last night. Never woke up through the night. So I woke up refreshed and ready to go. No drowsiness at all. I go back to work tomorrow, and will workout in the morning so I will see if my energy keeps up through the day.

I've said my appetite has been increasing these last few days. I have been down around 3000 cals/day because of everything I have had going on and have been hungary alot. Usually to get up around 4000cals I am eating when I am not hungary just to get my cals up. So I feel like my appetite is increasing. I seem to keep my eating habits/meals more in check when I am working,so I will monitor how hungary I get inbetween meals tomorrow.
