Hey guys, I didn't want to quote all of you, but thanks a ton for the concerns! Seriously, it means a shit ton (and that is a lot).
Turbo, that is freaking hilarious! Next, he'll be quoting you on the Weider principles haha
Triple, the PWO shake isn't the kicker. I drink pepto-pro and karboload intra-workout. I've experimented with several blends and the things that work best for me are, for aminos: EAAs and BCAAs with some isolate, pepto-pro plus BCAAs and EAAs and pepto-pro plus isolate. As far as carbs, karboload is the only one that doesn't bloat me (waxy maize, dextrose, maltodextrin, swedish oat starch... I've tried them all), but I have yet to try highly branched cyclic dextrins.
Brick, I've been rotating PWO meals, but I am going to try some ezekiel bread french toast tomorrow and see if that works better.
I have a really messed up GI tract as it is, my intestinal lining is permeable and I get random flare ups... it is tough to deal with because some nights when I want to go out I have to cancel plans and just rest.
Anyway, I went to see the acupuncturist and told him about it and he hit some trigger points and I feel pretty good right now. He also showed me how to stop the tingling/burning I get when it starts up and gets real bad. basically grab the tendons either behind the knee cap or in your armpit and press/pull the nerves. It hurts, but the pain in my hands or feet stops.

Here is a thought I had today and wanted to share:
When you feel like you've come to a dead end, realize that the only thing holding you back is yourself. It is your own self-doubt that puts up the wall on the way to your destination. Look inside yourself, rise above the obstacles, conquer your fears and claim what you've worked so hard to achieve. Never give up on yourself.

Glad everyone else is doing groovy! I will be back in action tomorrow and ready to rock.
