I was thinking of doing a Vlog but frankly im not up to it at the moment. I've been posting less and less on here, my youtube accounts and on the 21 convention. That will soon change! I have been working with Laurent Bannock who has been a great help but I don't totally agree with all that he does so while I listen to his advice and follow his plan mostly, there are some things he does that I don't agree with. Laurent Bannock is a nutritionist/doctor who has experience in dealing with complex health issues and gut issues.
Looking back If I could have done it over again I should have hired Chris Kresser, he is much more in line with my diet views and exercise views. Without going into too much detail I've had health issues for about the last year to year and a half, maybe even longer. At first I thought it had to do with my new diet (paleo) but as I recently found out a few months ago, I am sensitive or to put it as best I can acutely allergic to most if not all the foods I cut out, primarily grains, beans and soy. I do have exploratory surgery and am setting up an appointment with an endocrinologist. I do have to wait a lot for these tests and test results and to see what happens after the surgery and testing done on some tissues. The main problems my issues cause are brain fog and fatigue but it affects me in a lot of ways, I haven't felt like myself in a long time.
It's also sad to see, also frustrating and aggravating that not everyone is capable of understanding or comprehending what im going through or doesn't even know. I hung out with a friend of mine a couple weeks ago who made a statement that clearly shows he doesn't know what im going through, and its a similar situation at work and with some family members of mine. I know its a bit vague but instead of just going out or doing this or that im going to work on all areas of my life and be selective of who I hang out with and what I do with my time.
It is my birthday this month though which is awesome and my sincerest hope is all these issues will be cleared up within the next month or two and can start recovering within the next couple of months. Im going to go through some big changes and start progressing more as that happens, I will likely restart holosync for various reasons and start on some other goals of mine that I've had for a couple of years and also start going out again.

Im selling my 21 Convention ticket!
I decided it would best used If I could sell it and use the money for a good purpose. Im going to be selling it for about 200 dollars. This is much cheaper then the currently advertised price. It will be for the European convention but Im sure can be switched over to the American event as well.
Its the most bang for the buck as well, about the cheapest you will get for any lifestyle/pua/self help seminar or convention. I believe the European convention is a lot more pua and the american one has more variety of speakers on topics such as fitness, business, lifestyle, self help, etc. There is a lot of great free content on the 21 convention website as well.
You can see it at www.the21convention.com. Message me on facebook, or reply to this blog if interested.

Just want to set a few guidelines down for my blog
Your comments will be deleted and removed if you troll, flame, and personally attack me. Especially if you then promote your product on top of that. Honesty is great, but provide some insight, advice or help, to help me out as well. I will not stand to be insulted, demeaned, criticized or condemned in any way.

High Intensity Workout (HIT) Max Pyramid Protocol 9/16/10
Not sure what best way to record the progress but I think I have some system down as how to record my progress when doing the Max Pyramid HIT. As of now this is how I will record it: (lowest weight-highest weight)/(contractions or “reps”)/(TUL, which I believe is 20 seconds for each contraction/rep)
Pulldown: 125-185/9/3:00
Overhead Press: 95/155/9/3:00
Leg Press: 160-240/9/3:00
Forearm grab: 16-78 L=9/3:00 R=9/3:00
Bicep curl: 45-85/9/3:00
Weighted crunch: 0-45/9/3:00
Tricep extension: 40-60/5/1:40
This is my first time trying the Max Pyramid High Intensity Protocol. I read about it on here: http://www.bodybyscience.net/home.html/?page_id=798. I have to say it was one of the best workouts I’ve done in a long time, possibly ever. Weighted Crunch I think would have been better if done on a machine, last time I tried on a machine though, just couldn’t get it to work properly. Tricep extension has lowest reps/contractions because of doing it last, and was done after I had already done pulldown and overhead press. This workout was done over two days as well, the big three (overhead press, pulldown and leg press) and tricep extension on one day and the other three done four days later. Due to schedule changes at work it will be some time until I can do other exercises but I plan on doing chest press, seated row and standing calf raise.

High Intensity Workout (HIT) 9/13/10
High Intensity Workout (HIT) 9/13/10
Seated Row: 160/1:06
Chest Press: 160/:58
Pulldown: 170/:1:19
Overhead Press: 160/1:09
Leg Press: 260/1:49
Standing Calf Raise: 60 L=11 R=11
Forearm grab: 63 L=11 R= 12
bicep curl: 80/8
weighted crunch: 45/8
Tricep extension 70/8
In this week’s workout which is split up into two days, the first being big five, tricep extension and standing calf raise. The second day being weighted crunch, forearm grab and bicep curl. From last week there was an increase in reps or TULS in all exercises except chest press. I decided to do chest press later, and change up an order, someone commented on a youtube video of mine and said my chest press would go up If I did it after, the exercises that worked the shoulders.
Whether that’s true or complete bullshit I don’t know. I also increased the weight on my exercises for the big five, except leg press and pulldown, next week Im going to increase those as well. I think I will also increase the weight on the forearm grab as well.
All things aside, things at work and other areas of my life are improving as well. I’ve been playing poker and slowly but surely working my way on getting out of my job and quitting it. Im sleeping better and the holosync meditation and binaural beats I listen to every day and night are starting to show big results

High Intensity Workout (HIT) 9/2/10
High Intensity Workout (HIT) 9/2/10
Seated Row: 155/1:03
Chest Press: 155/1:14
Pulldown: 170/1:09
Overhead Press: 155/:53
Leg Press: 250/1:06
Standing Calf Raise: 60 L=9 R=11
Forearm grab: 60 L= 10 R= 10
bicep curl: 80/5
weighted crunch: 45/6
Tricep extension: 60/5
This workout was done at Firstenburg Center, and as of now im going to keep that as my gym of choice. They don’t have as much equipment as other gyms such as 24 hour or La Fitness, but all their weightlifting and cardio equipment (which I don’t much care for honestly), is Nautilus. I did my isolation exercises and the big five all on one day. I think from now on I will separate the two, except perhaps doing calf raise and tricep extension possibly on same day.
I think I still need some adjustments on my leg press but after reviewing some MAE videos I think I know what I need to do now. The ab machine, to me felt clunky and just wasn’t able to use it right. Seated Row and overhead press the TULs went down, bicep curl went down and abs went down as well. Besides that for the most part I see improvements in all my exercises.
Next week I will be increasing weight on some of my exercises by about 5-10 lbs, I think 3-4 weeks is a good time to increase weight slightly. I might do it 2-3 weeks depending on my progress.

8/25/10 Hit Workout
8/25/10 Hit Workout
Seated Row: 155/1:08
Chest Press: 155/1:03
Pulldown: 170/1:00
Overhead Press: 155/1:06
Leg Press: 250/2:26
Standing Calf Raise: 60 L=9 R=10
Forearm grab: 63 L=10 R= 12
bicep curl: 80/10
weighted crunch: 45/9
This workout actually consisted of two days, the first being 8/25 and second being 8/29. The bulk of the workout, being the big five and standing calf raise was done at firstenburg center. I improved all my TULs, the only problem I think I had was I did the leg press on the other machine. There’s two leg press machines at firstenburg, both are nautilus, but one uses resistance plates and the other you put weight plates on it, like it’s a free weight.
Decided to do the other one, so it might have just been a mess up by me, I feel more comfortable and better form in other one but decided to use this one, this time. I don’t think it matters much what machine, they are both nautilus. I think I need to try to adjust it so I get proper position with my legs too, it feels like im too far away a bit past couple of times and its been a reach to extend my legs all the way out, or maybe its no big deal.
Anyways, my isolation exercises that I did at home, forearm grab, bicep curl and weighted crunch I felt did a lot better. I feel I have a much better foundation or grasp on where Im at with my current weight and where I want to be and a better ability to focus and push myself more every time. Work doesn’t seem to be as stressful though I would prefer to quit it soon. I might try doing all exercises on one day and seeing how I do using machines for some of these. I prefer machines as of now since Its hard for me to go until positive failure without messing up form. Later on I might do more free weight but as of now I feel good with what Im doing.
Due to my work schedule and other things that have kept me busy, this is the longest recovery time I’ve had in quite some time. It was thirteen days.
