    Was about to leave at 4pm, then rain fell hard. Which lasted 'til 7pm. NO WORKOUT. I could either take risk to work it out to Dagupan City, but that'll leave me arriving as late as 10pm. Spent the rest of the evening, reading...

[size=x-small](Gonna kick that 80's back and rep it up for 8's after several weeks from now!)[/size] Still going to stick on 15's for Leg Lifts 'til next week. [size=x-small](Supposed to be 10's)[/size]

    human flag is usually done by gripping a vertical bar, grabbed by an arm pulling on top and the other arm pushing below. medyo cheat konti ito grabbing a horizontal bar which is easy to grip and then instead of pushing arm below, this is more like strengthening your arm to maintain a straight body, also note the angle of the arm above (less pulling). but still, with the man standing on top made this really difficult. maybe if only he stood farther to the hips, the human flag would be sweating a bucket. :biggrin:

    Fixed the pyramid scheme for Flat Barbell Bench Press. IMPROVISED. Used couple pairs of 35lb plates for Incline Dumbbell Bench Press. Had a hard time cleaning the DBs 'coz of a metal platform (for the feet) on the bench.

    Year 3, Day 121 [size=x-small](May 17, 2014)[/size]
    Morning. Sa may resort sa Mangatarem... Dandan Gardens.
    Woke up after more or less 5hrs of sleep. Arrived around 9am. Lots of people packed on all three pools all of the time. Decided to cool off under the next tent nearby with a can of light beer. Seems, I'm starting to have the liking with beers. That cold feeling on the throat! [size=x-small](The last time I felt that was drinking cola.)[/size] But I still despise the goddamn bitter taste. Happenstance, that some of the members of Ram's Fitness/fellow members of the Pangasinan Bodybuilding Association was also there. Didn't ate much today, I guess I had only two small meals [size=x-small](protein/carb wise choices)[/size] during the whole time of the occasion. Feeling languid 'coz of the radiating heat from concretes and rocks!

    Left the place by afternoon—5pm. Found a small piece of chalk [size=x-small](probably calcium carbonate)[/size] yesterday on way going to the car. Though not the grade of chalk used on weightlifting [size=x-small](magnesium carbonate)[/size].

    Yet another 5hr-sleep earlier this morning. Then another couple hrs near midday. Had only a small meal hours before WO. And guess what? Not much protein. [size=x-small](What the hell am I doing???)[/size] So as the past two days, sleep-deprived and lack food intake has taken its toll...

    Did manipulate salt intake for the past few weeks. Avoid sauces/sugared drinks as much as possible. Measured waistline, as it turns out, from 33 [size=x-small](the other week ago)[/size] down to 32. Did hot compressed thigh area for the past three days, especially on the teardrop muscles. Ate almost twice the usual amount of roasted chicken breasts. Decided to bust the irons despite DOMS on the thighs. Arrived at 7pm, but started near 8pm, I think. Took the time to warm-up enough.
