Short1 - Bodybuilding Competition Log

[The Shadow]

I'm glad you answered Sass's questions, because I was wondering the same thing and didn't know the answer.

The other issue is this:

Given X time frame and X mg of compounds.....clen and ephedrine actually hit the SAME basic receptors.

Receptor burnout is receptor burnout...you know?


If you have questions like that post em up as soon as they come to mind.

Good stuff - thx Shadow. A typical clen cycle is alternated w/ an ECA or whatever your fav thermo is so I wondered. This situation, again is slightly different because its competition prep and there are a lot of components involved.

Agreed that is the common thought process.

I just dont see the point......the alternating ECA/Clen 2weeks etc is "supposed" to slow down receptor burnout.....but since both hit the same receptors - I dont see the point really.

Think of it like water(clen or eca) and a glass(receptors):

..you can fill the glass in a number of ways:

1 - drop by drop
2 - teaspoon
3 - tablespoons



....you can only get so much water(eca/clen) into the glass(receptors) until it's full.


Full is full....no matter when it happens.


^^^Thoughts in general.......

receptor burnout wasn't my main concern. I was more concerned about getting a over stimulated - QT said it best - the 'cracked out' feeling from clen is bad enough. I didn't want to amplify it.

However, (and like you said) I've been taking an ephedra based fat burner for a while now. I don't get the nervous feeling or shakes from it anymore.

Decline situps with someone tossing a light medicine ball to you - vary height, side to side and force....you catch on the way DOWN, toss as you are coming back up.

PASS OFFS - sit on a bench back to back with someone......you pass a heavy medicine ball off to the other person and vice versa....keep going in the same direction for a minute....then switch direction

-----------------------------------------

I'm tired, and my shins hurt. I've been wrapping them and also using shin supports, but they're taking a beating. On Friday, I'll use the bicycle or eliptical to give them a break.

I felt weak tonight. Not for cardio, but strength wise. I was happy that you gave me some shorter sets. the owner of the gym told me he was going to set a bed up for me in one of the racquet ball courts so I wouldn't have to drive home at night. lolol

 

[The Shadow]

Yep.....the TUT is beginning to take its toll - exactly why we dropped back on the sets a bit this week.

We will do only flat treadmill work next week to rest the shins a bit as well.


GREAT JOB!!


How do you feel your hams are looking?

 

[florencia]

You are doing great! I just sigh when I read your thread! If re-encarnation is possible...I have you on my wanna be list! LOL
For constipation...hummm...
What I have done is STILL IN BED (before you get up...horizontal position without handy cam... )drink one liter of water, You will have results in 1/2 an hour at the most...
