so yesterday was deadlift day. i was pretty much pissed at megan which didn't help (or maybe it did). anyhow, i wasn't too excited about it, but i definately needed to blow off some steam. the working sets were supposed to go something like 5x70%, 3x80, 1x90% which turned out to be 455lb for me. That went up like a dress after prom, so i decided to shoot for 505. the number that has eluded me for so long. i missed it. but, i pulled it up to my knees which means that i'm strong enough to get it. my mind wasn't in the right spot and i got distracted. bryant's wife was there for the first time. at the top of the lift i had a flash in my mind that she was seriously concerned that i was about to blow my heart out my nose. i dropped it before any such injury could occur. nevertheless, i'd never been able to get 500 off the ground before, so i was ok with that. i'll get it soon enough. the lift did actually destroy my back, but what's new.
so I was due to buy some new protien and decided to do some comparative research between my standby of muscle milk and the biotest stuff the V-diet is based on. At first glance the metabolic drive is more expensive, but then i noticed there is twice as many servings per container and fedex ground shipping is free if purchased through t-nation.com. Also, they don't charge sales tax if shipped out of state. if purchased in bulk (4+) it's even cheaper. I ordered one to see how it holds up on the pallet. it's doubtful that it will taste better than muscle milk, but at half the calories, it will probably be worth it. the thought occured to me that you could just half the serving of muscle milk for the purpose of the diet and possibly save a very-little money, but then you wouldn't be getting as much protein per serving and the carbs would be a little jacked up. I also considered Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey. It's more comperable to the Biotest product, but the money savings were not there when you had to figure in shipping for that much protien. it's my conclusion that for the purposes of this diet, the supplied menu is the way to go. still a lot of quid though.

Damn dude. i'm gunna come down there and show you how to pick up 500. It can't be that hard. Wuss.
Right then.
i've thought about pre ordering some of that Biotest stuff meself to make sure i don't shell out 3Cs on a protein i can't swallow. so tell me how it goes. i think i'm gunna save up a couple o' hundo this month and then do it in about a month, but i'd like to sync with you so's i got some accountability. i'm totally amped about losing some lard. It'll happen...
I'm just hoping for a big tax return.
Dude man... this is the dawning of the age of Obama-us: we all gunna get us some fat o' the land. Hell, if they keep prestidigitatin' money into existence, we all gunna be up for 1billion large in tax "returns". ('Course it'll cost that for a pack of Top Ramen...)
