Hey Omega, just informing u that it doesn't look like I will hereafter remain on the omega program for health reasons. My parenthesia hasn't abated and I'm struggling to do more than 3 workouts per week for the last 2 weeks of any intensity.

Weights wise its really dispirited me because it started about mid November and I'd say I've made no progress since then, whereas I was really pleased with my omega progress was really satisfying up until that point.

I've been put on medication now and will take 2 weeks off weights in the hope it gets better. Hopefully won't gain too much fat in the mean time. I guess I should start the program all over again when it gets better.

Interesting article which basically says muscles main force can be exerted in middle 2/3's of movement - in other words, as per omega's rep execution insruction

Hey Omega, I'm hoping to rejoin the program in 3-4 weeks.

I want legs to be my main goal body part.

The pins and needles problem I have has largely improved based on medication I'm on, the only problem is I want to be off the medication before starting Omega, and that's not going to be for about 4 weeks (the medication causes drowisness).

For whatever reason I have a very inflamed liver too per tests. This shits me, as I have never done drugs (anabolic or recreational), and drink infrequently. My doctor has no idea as to the cause - he says I need to be "a barnie gumbo alcoholic" for this level of inflammation lol.

So, when I redo the program, I am unfortunately, considering doing it without creatine or glutamine, or at very least the former as I realise I still consume copious amounts of latter in things like milk.

Also, I won't be using no-explode or anything like that (I have decided to permanently avoid artificial sweetners, even splenda)

Thanks

Let me see your Supp and drug and Liquid intake ( of all kinds including diet sodas) please

Prior Sup intake was:
- creatine, beta-alanine, glutamine, whey, no explode, 4 diet cokes per day (july-October)
- In November, I added leucine, problems seem to start shortly after (I seem to start recovering badly, experienced pins and needles, and generally flunked the omega program as a result lol).

Since December, I have (in a reaction to medical problems) eliminated everything (including artificial sweeteners, cafeine, diet drinks) except glutamine, and whey.

Daily water intake very high - probably 5-6 litres per day.
