Found a new work-out to get some good ab time. Also, triangle push-ups are a bitch. Took a couple of days off, almost lost the gym high but I've got it back. Good to hear. Keep up the good work.
Looked in to CoQ10 after I saw your post about it. Went and got a bottle a few weeks ago. Took about a week to get it in my system. Last few days I've really noticed it; Looking forward to see if energy levels continue to get better.
Do you use or have you used this CoQ10 stuff? Or could you recommend something specific? I'd just like to add that I haven't had the energy cause apparently I have seasonal depression.. I think most people aren't as happy in the winter months as the summer but I guess it's pretty bad for me. I literally have a hard time getting myself to do anything.
I've never used it, but I've heard about it. I believe its an herbal supplement. Google: Jack3d. Its a preworkout supplement that me, my brother and a couple friends swear by. Its got a lot of caffeine in it though. Drink down a scoop before you workout with water and it gives you sustained energy and stamina. Once you get in a couple week routine and start seeing results you'll become hooked. Atleast I did. I've always approached working out like its an art project and I'm sculpting my body. As corny as that sounds. Not a better kind of high than an extreme endorphin rush. Its also fun testing your limits.
It's a lack of vitamin D. Get on Vitamin D3. Make sure you're getting 2000mg a day. Helps with seasonal depression.
I don't want to trouble anyone, but I was wondering if someone would be willing to type out a workout schedule with details for me. I kind of have problem's planning things, and I want to actually get serious about working out. I'm much better at doing things when I know exactly what I am going to do. It has something to do with me having an anxiety disorder. Anyways, I would really appreciate any help. EDIT: Actually, you guys don't have to make a whole thing, but listing a few exercises go together would be a really big help.

The sun is hardly visable for the winter months. I know people that start driving south until the hit sunlight and then just hangout. My vacations are also planned around it. For me, Co Q10 was the kickstart I needed to get everything going. Caffiene just made me a grumpy old man. I started with two doses a day with a multi-vitamin and L-arginine. Now I scaled back to one, with increasing my protien and adding creatine and ginseng. Drank a pre-workout booster before my workout yesterday and absolutely killed it. If not for having to bowl, I probably could have stayed for another couple of hours. Not going to repeat that so late. Had a hard time getting to sleep then woke up at 2am.
I got it in pill form. I spent $12 on a 60ct. bottle. Didn't want to invest $40 in the high quality stuff until I knew it worked for me.
