1st Round Playoff Exits
Sohh I haven't worked in 2 months now because of a toothache. It went away after taking some medicine. But I have a root canal on thursday, so I figured I'd take a break from working out in the meantime until my diet is 100% back on course...


I've dropped like 15 pounds and basically look around the size I was in high school. I aint tripping though. Can't wait til my mouth heels up and I can tweak my diet back to perfection. I'm totally done with sweets now though...

Can't wait take the transition pictures going from :flabbynsick: to :blessed:

Been rocking my old XL shirts to hide my frame. Crazy thing is my shoulders still look big as fukk...

Felt really sluggish last night, bench sucked (only got up 225 x4), felt wore out when I got to sqauts (surprisingly was still able to get 300x5 though i wanted to move up weight a bit). Instead of taking the day off, I should have just lifted yesterday.

Also, i notice the only time I get female attention in my gym (which is pretty much a sasuage fest), is when I'm hittin' parallel heavy squats :heh:

That fat loss struggle :bryan:

I know the meal plan is solid but the progress will be crazy slow. *cues "Mind Playing Tricks on Me"*

:patrice:Man I serious beef with those bar pads (always felt like it was slipping off and felt awkward). I dunno, I might get me a thick towel or something and wrap it around.
Every gym I've been to has bar pads. I don't know why people are buying them. Anyway, I don't like them. They locate the barbell farther back so my arms are working to prevent them from rolling back.

Arginine plays an important role in cell division, the healing of wounds, removing ammonia from the body, immune function, and the release of hormones.[3][7][8]

The benefits and functions attributed to oral supplementation of L-arginine include:

  • Precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO)[9] Non-L-arginine derived NO can be generated by the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway that is monitored through saliva testing.
  • Reduces healing time of injuries (particularly bone)[7][8]
  • Quickens repair time of damaged tissue[7][8]
  • Helps decrease blood pressure in clinical hypertensive subjects [10][11][12] NO-mediated decrease in blood pressure is influenced by both the L-arginine-dependent nitric oxide synthasepathway and non-L-arginine or alternative pathway through nitrate-rich foods such as beets and spinach
