haha typo that was meant to be two but yeah the constant pissing is not fun especially with three hour long lectures in 500 person class rooms...

Well I've been trying to follow the meal plan idea orionstang posted and started cutting out all junk food and sticking with low carb all day until I workout and eating more protein. Physically I kind of feel better eating healthier and it really hasn't been too hard to stick with, besides drinking enough water throughout the day. Only thing is I've really started focusing on doing full body workouts right now instead of hitting the weights really hard since I'm preparing for upcoming tests. I'll be going back to hitting the weights harder shortly, though. I really need to work on my chest though since it doesn't seem like I gain as much mass as quickly as everything else.

And thanks again to orion for taking the time to type up the meal and tips and everyone else who contributes here.

I started my changed program yesterday. Lots more reps with less weight and less rest between sets. My legs are sore as fuck!!. Getting my level 6 installed today was no easy task, I can hardly walk.

@blownengine, don't do anything strenuous until you see the doc. And make sure you tell him EVERYTHING you are taking. They need to know.

well finally hit my plateau for bench. started at 135x1 beginning of December, just hit 185x2/3 friday, havent been able to get more than x2/3 for almost 2 weeks. gonna try to blast out of it. Traps, Tris, and DB press for a little. Anyone have a really good tri suggestion? I usually just do standing barbell triceps extensions as my only tricep. Im looking for anything besides dips basically that will really work it.

Skullcrushers and close-grip bench for tri's.

Thanks bro, you got an idea for reps on the close grip bench? Light/more or heavy/less?

I do them real heavy for 5 reps. Skullcrushers, I choose a safer weight and do 8 reps. 3 sets of each for me.

Update: Went to the gym this morning, although looking back I probably shouldn't have....The headache came back again. Not as bad this time. It happened on the very first set of my workout. I ate and had protein thirty minutes before, drank enough water, and was breathing fine. There is something else wrong here. Might be time for a doctor visit.....

Did you say you were taking creatine regularly? If so its possible you may not be as hydrated as you think. Since creatine draws water to it wherever it is in the body, if you are not absorbing it well it may be dehydrating you. When I am on a loading cycle of creatine I drink close to 3 gallons of water a day and sometimes will still feel like i need more (im about 6 ft 200lbs). Just a thought, I hope you get this headache thing figured out!

No that was only the second time I have EVER taken creatine. I ordered some protein from bodybuilding.com and they sent me a sample pack of C4 supplement.

No more activity for me until I see a doc. I'm probably going to go to out on-campus clinic tomorrow and see where they can direct me considering I'm not from around here and don't know any doctors.
