Post by: Dracoy on July 14, 2009, 07:32:11 PM: Invented the most amazing abdominal workout. Put a 2 lb ball between your ankles and do a reverse crunch type motion but in a wave like fashion. Also using the ball, rotate your legs in a wind shield type motion for obliques. WIN!

Post by: Dracoy on July 25, 2009, 10:05:05 AM: Salty Beef Jerky + Sweet Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter makes the ultimate sweet/salty pre bed snack. It is high in protein and VERY filling and when you eat it slowly it is great.

I highly suggest it. It needs a SWEET/Sugary Peanut Butter though, or else it'll just be kinda gross.

I've been doing 85 as well until my shoulders get stronger. I love the workout though.

Post by: Dracoy on August 04, 2009, 06:52:47 PM: Awesome man, glad you like it.

My tips are to work on these things separately on different days and combine it all in the end of the week.

So day 1) Push Press
Day 2) Front Squat
Day 3) Cleans
Day 4) Bear

Post by: Dracoy on August 05, 2009, 12:25:07 PM: Peanut Butter
Jelly
Cool Whip
Protein Powder Sludge (Protein Powder with a tiny bit of water)

What makes this absolutely delicious is the combination of flavors, it really feels like a decadent cheat.

Post by: Dracoy on August 05, 2009, 09:39:27 PM: Thanks guys, I'm pretty much out of food since I'm moving from this apartment to a different one. This means I have one slice of bread and some condiments to eat for the next 2 days LOL.

I think I am going to pick up a loaf of bread tomorrow.

Lucky me, no hangover and good energy/workout after alcohol and pizza "buffet" :p

1 Whiskey and Coke
1 Shot of Tequila
1 Cranberry Vodka
1 UV Blue and Sprite

Post by: Dracoy on August 30, 2009, 08:49:08 PM: Official bulk starts after maintenance period. Maintenance period will be 100 calories per day until I hit the 3.5k calorie mark. I'll plateau there a while to watch weight gain. After that I may go up to 4.5k to 5k depending on where my body takes me. There will be a meet within the coming months :P

Not much, probably. It's pretty mild right now, sorta like a regular flu but it's slightly more fatal to some people.

Have you tried Imitrex for the headache's? It does a good job for me and I get severe headaches also.

Carnage Story Inside

Not trying to sound like a buzzkill but I've worked two very bad longboard accidents in the last year. The first one the guy died and the second one we thought he was going to die but he survived. Both accidents were on borrowed boards with no helmet.
Title: Re: Dracoy's Path from EPIC FAIL to EPIC WIN!
Post by: Dracoy on September 24, 2009, 06:31:20 AM: Ouch. The longboarding community stresses wearing helmets. I think I should just swallow my pride and wear a helmet too. I have all the pads, but sometimes the ego makes you do stupid things.

Yea I'll post some pics about my bulking diet. So far I put on 10 pounds and it feels amazing.

Here is my diet philosophy be it cut or bulk.

http://yanyanxu.com/2009/07/21/interesting-read-on-dieting/

Here is my diet plan on a cut.

http://yanyanxu.com/2009/08/11/daily-nutrition-breakdown/

Similar on a bulk, I just increase the quantities and stop counting.

Wanted to do car pushes for a while now. Decided today was the day I would give it a try. I did about four runs down my cul-de-sac back to back without rest.

I underestimated how hard the strongmen work. Immediately when I got home, I puked up everything I ate. Never had such violent vomit in my life. I have a new found respect for these guys.

I pushed a Camry LE (3500 pounds with my dad inside) on a slightly downhill course. The car was put into neutral and I let it go when I felt the momentum and gravity take the car.

I definitely want to try these again, hopefully without barfing.
