Julio's 1st contest

[juliux]

Hi everyone!

Eating a Clif Car at work I'm loving those!! Originally tought they were total junk but they are not that bad, they are supposed to be made with organic ingredients.

Today It's deadlift day! I'm loving deadlifts right now I do 135 x 8 but I feel I can pull a few more reps, I'll increase my weight to day and see how it feels

My brother and sisters took they picture they decided to enter the contest!! That makes me happy! I'll post the pics later on

I prepared 2 meathead shakes before going to work 1 has waxy maize, protein, water and watermelon flavoring, The other is the same but with creatine added this one will be for post workout

Glad your siblings are joining, you'll get extra support at home too! My bf is doing this as well, and that definitely gives me extra motivation. Good luck!

Today was Deadlift day and like I told you I went up from 135 to 155 for 8 reps, I think I can increase the weight but I'll act conservative and focus on my form.

For Barbell shrugs used the same weight.

Nice really short workout

My meals today are looking like these

After waking up 1 glass of water then prepared a blender drink with this

Frozen mango
Pineapple
Orange Juice (just to add some calories)
Spinach
Ground Flaxseeds
Psyllium husk (I never add this to my drinks, just experimenting today)

This drink turned out green so I named it "The Hulk" , loved the taste

A few hours later I ate almonds, 1 bowl cantaloupe and 1 banana.

I'll post my other meals later on

CYA!

i've been a platinum member from day 1 and it's been well worth it. I think you'll find it's great value - lot's of goodies there.

Good news about your siblings joining the contest. Maybe you can get some friendly family rivalry going to spur each other on!

The rivalry is between my 2 sisters and my brother sometimes it's really funny the important thing it's that they support each other.
I'm still trying to convince them to share their pics so I can post them here in the forum, they are still very shy

Bad news

I have a shoulder pain, it's not that bad i still can move and raise the arm. My inmediate action is to apply some ice and stop any pressing exercises or any exercises that cause pain.

Lets see how this goes

I am so sorry! I've had pain for maybe 3 months now. You are wise to treat it immediately! I ignored mine. That strategy has never worked before.
