Does this count as my 3rd run?
Does this count as my 3rd run?
Just started another run this morning. Woke up early to hit the gym fasted. Weighed myself after my workout and only having drank 3 16 oz bottles of water before, during and after my workout.
After some stress this summer with a sleeping disorder and diagnosed depression, Im in the worst shape Ive been in since I started working out 3 years ago.
Body Stats
-Weight - 217
-BF% - 18.8%
-Muscle Mass - 83.3 lbs
Goals this run are to increase Bench and Deadlift strength and increase leg size with Squats. I also want to recomp eating ~2500 calories with 300+ grams of protein per day using E-Bol, protein, vitamins and minerals, Ultima, and some stims as needed. Im undecided on running EC for now. What do you think Rob?

Kept the weights a little lighter than I should have. My biceps were a little soar from my last back/bi workout. Squats stopped at 4 because my form was breaking and Im really concentrating on my squatting form more than weight increase. I was happy that the weight felt light on my legs.

im still having sleep issues, but the new medicine im using is working with a low dose and it keeps me asleep the whole night whereas the ambien only knocked me out for a few hours.RobRegish wrote:first, have your sleeping problems/depression lifted? Sincerely hope so.
I would expect you to regain muscle mass quickly and perhaps even over-shoot it. The key though, is the sleeping/depression. Something I know all too well about now.
Let me know on those and I'll get to work..
as for the depression, i dont know what would have me depressed but 3 different doctors have said it to me. for the time being, im not really convinced.
