Afternoon/evening flatulence on omega program?

This is rather strange.

From about 3-5pm everyday for the last few weeks, I chronically fart until I go to sleep. I'm fine before this time?

Is this happening to others? The timing is strange - its like I dont' fart during the P + C part of the day, but start farting during the P + F period?

My general diet is something like:

(1) oats, eggs, whey, milk
(2) intra-workout: glutamine, leucine
(3) PWO: milk, whey, 2 banana
(4) steak, veggies, avocado
(5) steak, fish oil, fiberous greens

isolated amino acids can cause that and a laxative effect for a while lol

Hey Omega, I will just retype the Q's:

(1) for those hypers you suggest, is that a full range of ROM? Any form tips

tope 3/4 range
(2) do you have any problems with me consuming a 1/3 of my suggested 90gs of fat from beef? (so 300g beef per day)
hmm not druing heavy training, but when in normal mode or off season YES
(3) my smith machine at my gym is slightly uneven? SHould I still use it for squats over free weights. I'm not sure if its causing the occasion lactic acid back pain on squats or my fettucine back lol (I wonder too if its the reason for my poor weights progression on shoulder press. Having said that, visually, my shoulders are progressing really well

use you intuition on this one Des

Lost my record of weights on friday (a good session), and today's session (chest) completely sucked (everything was down 5-15%). Headaches have been terrible last 3 days - just lay in bed feeling sorry for myself on the weekend. Normally exercise assists my headaches (i.e., they abate during the workout and the following hour), but it did nothing this morning. Perhaps I will go for a run this evening to try to feel better.

I know a one of session glitch is not the end of the world

remember what arnold said about positive thinking. always do it. block every negative feeling. get pumping iron and watch it over and over at dinner every night. It's what me and my friends do, lol.

Yes, great movie... "im cumming all day long, it's great!" lol

Keep at it Des. I am down in some weights, along with others. Just as you said to me, don't worry about it and just focus on the workouts and the exercises and your body will adapt.

Hang in there Des..hope the headaches have abated some.

Back Today

- Lat Pull down 35kg
- DB rows: 10x35lb, 4x40
- shrugs/lateral raise (55lb/15lb)

For whatever reason I was too fucked to do arms after. I think I took extra long on the reps as 55 minutes had already elasped.

Came back in PM and did arms/and went for run
- bi curls 17.5kg + bar

I gotta say, it seemed less taxing to do bis in the evening and I felt I exerted myself better. Forwhatever reason, I struggle with bis at the end of the back workout (not the same for tris after chest workout). The lactic acid is really intense for me - seemed less so in the PM

Chest yesterday
- 10x45; 6x50 (really happy)
- tris - I'm still working on form here. I seem to start shaking near fatigue and am struggling to maintain tension
- shoudlers (didn't match PB). I'm not progressing with the shoudler weight. Pissing me off

Today is rest day. I was going to do legs, but my rest days are more intuinuative (I do always get 2, but whether that is day 6 and 7 as forced rest, or an earlier day because I think I should depends).

OMEGA: I notice with the SM press that my left shoulder in the mirror is higher than the right when I'm doing the exercise? What is the reason for this. I'm right handed and I think (through tennis) that my right shoulder/arm is bigger than the left and should have a heads start strength wise

desmond, good thing you asked, it reminded me too. I'm the almost the same. I can see my right deltoid a good 1" or so higher than my left =/
