I did something last night that I found extremely interesting this morning.
I was pretty pumped last night and knowing I won’t have much of a chance to train over the weekend due to a 2 day seminar, so I wanted to push myself pretty hard. Last night before bed, one of the exercises I did 25 dips. I normally only do 6, so doing 4 times the normal amount was most likely going to make me feel sore the next day.
This morning, to my suprise, I was shocked I didn’t have any of that soreness I normally do. Before doing the work out, I experiemented with some suppliments to help with getting over any fatigue and improve on recovery time. I’m going to list them out here to help people out. I am in no way affiliated with a suppliments company, so I’ll keep the suppliments generic. What I took pre workout was the following:
BCAA
Vitamin C
Multi vitamins
Flaxseed oil
For post workout, I took a protein shake.
Let me know if anyone else tries this and let us know your results.
Wow! It’s been a while since I last posted up my weight loss progress so here they are.

In terms of weight loss during the last week or so I’ve been hovering around the 82kg area. My diet and cardio workouts weren’t as disciplined as they should be. Getting back into it now. Also been developing some muscle mass during work outs. This is where it gets difficult to work out if you’ve really lost weight. The best way to measure this is to get some fat pinchers which I’m not using.
The plan to continue loosing weight is to do cardio in the morning, continue watching calorie intake, continue to take suppliments where required, continue to go for walks around the beautiful Botanical gardens in Sydney on my lunch breaks, and possibly do more cardio at night. I’m also testing out stopping eating by 7pm, as it allows the body to burn up any glucose it has left in the system and to switch over to burning up fat.
I’ll let you guys know how this goes and the results it produces.
There’s a whole lot more I could talk about in terms of what’s been done in flexibility, training, new tricks, etc I’ve learnt along the way, but I’ll save them for another blog.
