Theres your biggest problem then before we even start. The other day i got so snowed in by work that i had to train at 1.30am with a 7 am start later that day. Why didnt i just put it off....

Im not saying go all monk or anything, but be prepared to make changes to succeed, the way i see it...

Ambition without dedication is the mindless pursuit of an impossible dream

Was looking for a casein type product for slow protein sustained release throughout mainly whilst I sleep, found this product called Probolic-SR. Claims a sustained release of 12 hours of proteins, what you all reckon?

I reckon you sound like one of those noobs who comes in looking for magic beans to make him mahoosif! :p;)

Seriously though just look at the ingredients, see anything special? Anything at all? It's just milk protein, whey protein and some EFA's.

Now that's a decent price, it's about £12.50 for 2lb but you'll have to pay P&P and possibly VAT when customs see it. So it's not worth it, just buy some milk protein (5kg for £45) and some fish oils from Holland & Barrett. They had an offer on 500 caps for something like £7.50.

Jobs a good 'un ;)
 
I've had to stop my HST adventure early.

Wednesday night a horrible stomach bug started and was being sick constantly and pooing like there was no tomorrow. Barely even ate a thing on Thursday (about 3 cornflakes and some milk).

I also twinged my back with some poor form on deadlifts, basically SLDL'ing rather than deadlifting. Pulling far too much with my back and no real leg drive is a sure fire way to rape my back, in a bad way.

Also felt a niggle in my shoulder, I think I went to low doing negatives on bench press.

I've learned from it though and i'm going to try HIT next, although I will without a doubt be back to HST soon, it was working well for me without a doubt.

Wow!1 Holland & Barrett MADNESS!

I popped into H+B today after hearing CW mention something about cheap cod liver oil. I quickley raided their sale shelf as it contained (reading from my reciept)

Cod Liver Oil (high strength 1000mg caps x 120) @ £3
Glucosamine sulphate (1000mg x 60 reduced from 19.99) @ 4.99
Milk thistle 175mg @ 4.84

There were a few others too but these are stunning value offers, especially the GsS.

The shop still made me laugh, i wanted to have a quick look at their protein blends but these two tiny indian chaps were hogging the 'bodybuilding' section i just stood behind them looking as they deliberated between two very iffy looking cans of 'gainer' one of which was....wait for it......VEGAN! lol eventually i was struggling not to spasm behind them with subdued laughter so i left. That said the aformentioned deals are worth braving that ridiculous place for no doubt!
