Congratulations.

You mentioned you had to wait for the results. Did you have some fancy, accurate test done or what?

Nope nothing fancy, just calipers. Not sure why I had to wait. I think the guy that did it was agbout to head out so he just wrote the numbers down.

Thanks though !!!

It was a bit weird though. He did a 4 point test: Abdominal, THigh, Tricep, and Suprailiac?? I am not sure of a test that checks these 4 points?

Thanks agian, you too Doc (just for posting)

3. Get some good sleep. - Not too bad, couls have been better

4. Wash my car inside and out. - DONE, looking good too

MISC

I think Im hitting a rut with my diet. Could be due to a couple of things, course its too soon to say for sure that I am in a rut. My point is, I am starting to do a bit of reading on ECA stacks and all that shiat. I may add it in within the next couple of weeks, depending on how the next week or two goes.

Weekend was very nice, lots of sun, was great. My gal and I played some mini golf on Sat, and we went out to eat and all that good stuff. Oh ya I had some New Castle Brown Ale (import bottle) from Uno's, wasnt too bad, just though you blokes out there would enjoy that.

Another thing, we were eating at Uno's and 10 HUGE guys walked in, 8-10 wearing Chuck Taylors!!. So I knew they were PLers. They had some shirts that were from Conn. (I think, dammit I knew I should have written it down) and others had some Maine State PLing bla bla bla. Dam I wish I could remember the name of the city in Conn. Oh well they were HUGE and all talking about there lifts and ****, they seemed pretty cool.

5/14/2002 Day 121 of Diet

MISC

Picked up my first pair of Chuck Taylors!!. Will be givin them a go on leg day!

For some reason it feels like my body is falling apart. My right knew and hip is bothering me?? I have some tightness in my lower right side of my back? This kinda sucks. I think I may change up my leg training a bit. Either do heavy (5RM) squats every other week or chage to a 10RM for squats and progress from there. Not sure if this will help anything. Dam I thought my shoulders are bad, seems like its my entire body. It could be from the introduction of cardio and the high impact? I should be used to it though, since i am an active basketball/football pickup game player.
