4-12-11 Tuesday Chest and Lower back

Tried training for the first time in years without stimulants. Think my adrenal glands are burned out from all the intensity, stims, etc. Since have trouble just staying awake, and sleep has no effect. So trying to train without them for a while. See what happens.

Left gym early, too many people, makes me thirst for thier blood:

(206 lbs after meal)

Flat Bench Press: (full reps)

135x20

[ZyklonB]

thirst for blood is always good, I've been feeling that same desire

[GermaniaK]

With all the volume you have done of the years, I'd agree in saying you are suffering from adrenal fatigue.

It's hard to back off when you like going hard, but I'm finding that it's good to spend a few months out of the year just easing up on the volume combined with the heavy shit.

I second that with the people at the gym. When it gets crowded, I can't focus on training. Having to wait for them to finish just pisses me off.

Good training.

Good training.

Just seeing people is enough for me. I want to crush them and torture them just at the sight of them. I dont play well with others.

Yea it seems that way. The docs as usual just threw out some "chronic fatigue" general diagnosis. I mentioned it when I was gettin my bloodwork. They said its unexplained and shit. So I started looking into it. Since Im always running on adrenaline I figured there must be a limit. The symptoms lined up, so it was good enough for me to atleast try training without stims for a little while. See if I can get back my regular adrenaline. Not being able to stay awake is no good for meals.

4-16-11 (from 6 or 7 am til 11am) Shoulders,Triceps,Biceps,Lower back and Abs

After 6 days without stimulants decided to FUCK THAT SHIT and add them back. Difference is ill cut out the monster energy drinks and cut the stim down to 1 scoop of super pump and maybe even cut them completely for leg day or one of the days.

Also decided to FUCK strict form on dumbbell laterals. Even going up to the 50s and holding them at the top with strict form doesnt get my fucking delts sore, doesnt get that blood in my delts and traps like the ballistic style I did previously. Maybe instead of going up to 100s ill go a little lighter for my wrists for now. :
