Calves, Quads, Hams

• 1 Leg Standing Calf: 75 lbs x 30, 30, 30 per leg; 85 lbs x 20, 20 (increase of 10 lbs next session)
• Dumbbell Stiff Legged Deadlifts (no straps; weights are per dumbell – using two dumbbells in this movement): 40 lbs x warm 20, 50 lbs x 15, 75 lbs x 15 (no straps), 90 lbs x 10 x 2 (sucking wind, some congestion, but otherwise good. I used straps here because I started to lose grip around rep 6. Rested 5 minutes between the last two sets with 90 lbs.)
• Dumbbell Shruggs (used straps; weights are per dumbell – using two dumbbells in this movement): 90 lbs x 30, 30 (are you kidding me?? I need the 120^s now!)
• Dumbbell Hip Belt Squats: 120 lbs x 20 x 3 (30 seconds rest between sets. These were more like 3/4 squats. I was unable to find a way to hook the dumbbell to the closest loop without running the risk of not being able to unhook myself without the assistance of a spotter once I set the weight on the floor. So, I hooked myself on the next closest loops. Some coughing here, but was to be expected. Damn good though. Need more reps next session or more weight OR find a partner who can unhook me so I can use the closest loop!)

Observations:

Took an extra couple days off. Wanted to give myself some extra recovery. Good idea. Strength gains are….nothing short of incredible. Increases in strength astound me still. Excellent session. No use of inhaler during workout, but two puffs before. Pump was beyond excellent. Endurance excellent.

Waiting on my shipment of Metabolic Diet to arrive. Have just a teeny bit left.

Chest, Bicep/Shoulder, Abs

• Dumbbell Bench Press: 65 lbs x 9, 9, 6 (Incredible. Weights felt so much lighter from a week ago.)
• Parallel Dips: BW x 10, 11, 9 F (increase in reps, AFTER greater volume in Bench Press. Stellar! Breathing excellent!)

Observations:

Excellent Workout. Felt strong as a horse. Progress is steady. Recovering from workout to workout.

Chest Press and Incline curls surprised me the most. Was able to press through momentary failure in each set for one or two more reps.

My workout was brief and intense. Very good!

My diet today consisted of 2 liters of water, turkey, peas, rice, cereal, Coffee and 2 Power Bars, in no particular order…all before lunch.

For lunch, 2 cans Spagetti’Os. Blech. Dave Draper would kill me! Hell, I wanna kill me. Heheh.

• DB Forearm Wrist Curl: 40 lbs x 10, 10, 10, 10 (Using heavier weight here, 5 lbs more)
• Standing DB Wrist Roll: 40 lbs x 22, 30 (OK need about 50-60 lbs here)

• Headstrap For Back Neck: 25 lbs x 15/10, 10/10 (Really good stretch, heavier…that extra 2.5 pounds made a huge difference)
• V-Crunches: 110 Reps 30, 20, 20, 20, 20

Observations:

The Cable work for glutes was just awesome. Nothing hits my butt like these. I mean nothing! Plus, the cardio is awesome too. I would equate one set of 20 reps to a 40 yard dash at 80% speed. It’s that challenging. Of course, I have some lung issues, so it might be harder for me than your average bear.

Excellent Workout. Awesome pump. Shoulder is STRONG…the right shoulder that is. That injury is a thing of the past thanks to Metabolic Diet. Speaking of which….

I am down to the bitter dregs of my MD+ supplements. I have another order coming but it will not be here until next week some time. Until then, I will make do with MLO cheap-assed protein, whey protein and the awesome Creatine Advantage from MD+ as well as the GHBoost and Testoboot (which I have 1/3 bottle left of each.)

My workout was brief and intense. Very good!

The day saw me consume a total of:

Bowl whole grain cereal in the early AM (6am)
Spagetti for mid morning.
Turkey, Taters, Applesauce Lunch.
2 Cups Chocolate Milk/2 Powerbars Midday snack along with 1 MLO/Whey protein drink with 2 cups Milk

There are many forms of COPD.

COPD is a blanket term used to cover a broad list of respiratory illnesses. Cystic Fibrosis technically is in a class by itself. In fact, some doctors will tell you that CF is not a classic COPD at all.

For one thing, COPD is rarely genetic (which CF is). In addition, COPD’s often indicate forms of medical intervention that differ greatly from the forms of medical treatments recommended for people with CF.
