No workout this afternoon. I'm tired but I feel good. It's gonna take a few days to get used to getting up early again. My left elbow is starting to act up again but nothing serious yet.
Weight as of this morning: 216lbs
Supplements being used:
Biotest Grow! whey protein
Flameout
Curcumin 500 (I'm becoming addicted to this stuff. Actually works really well for me)
Alpha GPC ( I was skeptical about this one. been using it for around a month and haven't missed a lift since I started. Just seems like there's always a little left in the tank to push with.)
Surge workout drink (this crap just makes me happy.)

Alpha GPC is some of Biotest's "high end" crack. its supposed to increase explosive energy. I can't say it doens't work. Hard to tell, I guess. I've hit a few lifts that were long shots, to say the least, on it. I think after this cycle I'll probably just use it on max effort days and competitions.
