sathorI'm gonna give this other stuff a shot. It's 100% whey (tastes way worse, btw) but it has some muscle recovery nutrients in it as well (like glutamine and creatine)
I started lifting yesterday, just some light upper body stuff. I did lower body today, a few more army presses because I didn't do enough yesterday, and I think I'll try to do some Yoga and abdominal stuff before I leave for work. Eventually, I'd like to have it setup so I do everything in an hour window. Upper body days won't be as long, since there's less work that I /can/ do currently (Until I either get a gym membership, or I get some more equipment.)
Interestingly, creatine is known to increase testosterone levels. That actually might not be a bad thing in my case. We'll see.
I never really "filled out" which leads me to believe that stage is /still coming/. And what I mean is that my frame never really finished growing as far as I am concerned.
Did I tell you guys when I went to Seneca for my physical exam, I was 6'4.5" tall?
My shoes added 1/2" i figure. Which means I have grown 2 inches since I got my driver's license at 16, although I think the growth is much more recent than that. One of my cousins had another spurt just before 21, I might be getting another too? Cool to think about!
I would love to finally grow out a bit more and balance my frame out. But that's also why I'm lifting.
I need to gain at least 20 more lbs. naked to be happy. I'll keep you all posted on my progress, if any.
Oh, yeah!
I want to buy a digital camera and start VLOGGING.
I think it's totally fucking cool, and it would give you guys a chance to get to know me a little better, eh? And hey, maybe I'll end up getting a little more visibility for my music doing it, too.
So, on the list of things to buy:
New Clothes
Spiritual Decorations for my room (Ones that I would take with me whenever I leave to make wherever I go home) - there's some really cool pentagram and celtic tapestries around the web that would work great.
Digital Video Camera (At least one with video capture, optical zoom, and some good resolution and large recording times...)
1 Keyboard (or 1 Midi Controller board and a module)
Studio Monitors/PA System (maybe)
Electric Guitar
Electric Bass.
Good god, man. Well, I knew I was going to be stuck here another year, so there are all of my material goals. I should be able to sack my loans completely and get all of that before Fall Semester 2010 starts. I'd like to be looking into colleges this coming fall/winter.
I'm praying I'll have a few $1,000 saved on top of it all, so if I actually wanted to get my own efficiency apartment or something, I could. I'm not too sure I'll handle dorm life all that well. I'm concerned by the fact I'll either be 22 or 23 when I go back, so I'll be dealing with mainly 20s in my classes (unless I get set back to freshman, in which case I'll be dealing with 18 year olds.)
I could see that as a positive thing (the younger girls will find my age attractive) or a negative (I might not have as much in common with that gen)
Although, I have to admit. Dorm life looks like a fucking blessing to me. Full-feature free gym pretty much at every campus for any college, pools, concerts, wtf...how can you beat that?
And so fucking many people to talk too!
