Turn the lights off 1 hour before sleep. Serotonin turns into melatonin in the dark. If you have any lights that are remotely bright the brain will mistake it for the sun rising. Really dim lights resemble moonlight, though. Theanine (found in green tea) is a huge sedative. Taken in decaf green tea pill form, you'll fall asleep before you notice you're getting tired (15 minutes or less, if you take 3 at once). Bananas contain tryptophan, which is a serotonin precursor. If you're low on serotonin, you can't convert it into melatonin now can you? So do sunflower & hemp seeds. Also, a more ancient remedy (I notice this works, personally) is amethyst in the pillowcase. It can also cause lucid dreams (where you notice you're dreaming and can control yourself). Others here suggest ZMA. Veganessentials.com has Max Growth P.M. which contains theanine & ZMA, which will give you a deeper sleep. It doesn't contain as much theanine as would make you clunk out though.

If you want to heal your back I would recommend you try to find a Reiki Master in your area. It's usually $50/hour, and will eliminate your back pain after 1 session. A few more and you may be totally cured.

320 deadlift x23 150 ohp x24 157.5 bench x24 80x2 side raise x24 135 shrug x24 right, 17 left deadlifts went smoothly, on the last rep i thought id be cool and go slow and steadfast but then failed due to going too slow.. lol. drank some vega gel right afterward and did 4 overhead presses. thought i failed cuz my muscles went dead, but spent a few minutes waiting for the gel to digest and then managed to do the rest. it was an amazing energy increase. the bench press was supposed to be 165 but i put 5 and 2.5 on the left side instead of 10 and 5, lol.. did raises one hand at a time, slightly leaned over, and my abs got put into it as a result of this.. maybe i didnt rest long enough after the bench. at this point i was feeling exhausted, and loaded up a barbell for the shrugs (the 130lb dumbbells are officially not good enough), did all 3 sets except the 1st rep on the last set of the left arm pulled some shoulder muscle so i called it quits for the night. leg muscle spasmed a bit walking out, i think from the shrugs (and needing protein after the deadlift).

305 bent row x14 105 preacher curl x23 225 assist dip x20 285 assist pullup x2 190 crunch x24, 16, 16 found out how to bench press with better form, lessened grip width on the bent row to do its reverse motion, and it's a more comfortable grip than totally wide (by one segment).

yep

320 deadlift x14 150 ohp x19 165 bench x14 80x2 side raise x8 130x2 shrug x24 70 reverse grip preacher curl x24 70 front raise x24 deadlift failed soon, the grip was maybe wider than usual at the last rep, first time i wasn't 100% on that, since my pants were baggy.. took a vega electrolyte hydrator right afterward and it really energized me, the overhead presses flied during the 2nd set.. and the bench press i'm still getting used to doing with my new educated form (elbows in a little) it's awkward. i'm probably going to ask a trainer to show me what to do next time.

you've already accomplished extreme hawtness

they know what all the mid-twenties women want to be wearing.. lol

300 barbell bent row x25 225 barbell bent row x8 100 preacher curl x24 225 assisted dip x14 285 assisted pullup x2 190 crunch x40 doing 3x8 and then 48 reps without resting for 90 seconds.. thus making it a bit more cardiovascular deloaded the barbell rows for a set after i finished so that i could check if i should drop weight since i widened the grip. focussing on elbows doing the motion for back muscles is a lot easier this way, so i'm going to probably drop the weight next time to around 285 just so that i'm not building a bad habit. i wish the dip machine assist had smaller pound increments so that i could more consistently gain strength on it. it's 15 pounds more every time but so far it is only slowing me down a little. the week off was worth it, i recovered a lot. nice to be back in the swing of things.

dates blend in a vitamix just fine for me i was going to suggest that over the molasses idea. medjool dates > other glucose sources they are enough by themselves for an hour of weightlifting.. biking might be more of a complex carb+simple carb combination though. so dont forget to add pancakes or something.

315 deadlift x24 145 ohp x24 160 bench x24 75x2 side raise x24 125x2 shrug x24 50 reverse grip preacher curl x8 60 reverse grip preacher curl x24 50 front raise x24 amazed that i did all 24 reps without failure on the deadlift. it was also much easier than i expected, also. going to start using barbells to shrug from now on. found out that the 'front raises' ive been doing are actually called reverse grip preacher curls, and also started doing front raises.

300 bent row x19 95 preacher curl x24 240 assist dip x24 285 assist pullup x4 190 crunch x48 the bent rows i did with really wide grip this time, as opposed to the previous totally close grip i was amateurly doing. i read only recently the differences between grip stances and started doing bench and bent row equally as wide as the bar is built for since that's when the bench is perpendicular to the floor for me and it's when the bent row is the same width, which keeps it in balance. so this time i actually failed. deloaded preacher curl because i was rocking back and forth on all my reps as was adding weight up to 135 and felt silly, the form is more important than the amount of weight. momentum doesn't count as muscle stimulation on the intended exercise.. did all 24 dips, happy about that. 1 more pullup than last time, as usual 190 crunch is getting boring, so i did 1x16, 1x8, 1x24 instead of 5 sets of 8.

310 deadlift x24 145 ohp x23 160 bench x20 75x2 side raise x22 110x2 shrug x24 70 front raise x24 i dropped weight on front raise since it was hard to get the bar up at 80 without momentum. still needed momentum on the 70. i'm only doing these to make ohp easier to get into start position. 145 ohp with slightly wider grip (outside end of close grip) than last time since i realized i was doing only close grip on all my lifts and that it probably isn't the best. it was hard utilizing untrained muscles, so i failed before reaching 24.. and was surprised that i did so many *flexes like anchorman* deadlift i wasnt expecting to do all 24 of. happy day for me!

complex carbohydrates help with body heat. fat is an insulator and you'll see more fat people walking around with t-shirts on when it's snowing. but if you're having trouble staying warm and it feels unusual, maybe you aren't eating enough rice/potatoes/bread/pasta.

i'm not sure what causes this but i notice that time seems to move way slower. i time my rests between sets 90 seconds and it can feel like 5-10 minutes.

295 bent row x24 120 preacher curl x24 240 assist dip x22 285 assist pullup x4 190 crunch x104 ive been doing 40 crunches at 8 reps a set for a couple weeks, and i decided to spice things up and do a lot. it wasn't as difficult as i thought to reach the 100 mark, and decided it wasn't worth it to do anymore, because i needed to eat protein and all.

310 deadlift x18 145 ohp x22 155 bench x24 75x2 side raise x23 100x2 shrug x24 80 front raise x24 2 more deadlifts than last time, on 19 got all the way up but dropped the bar instead of locking out. front raises needed cheating form to get up, i.e. pushing w/ back will probably drop weight on that to stay solid

290 lb bent row x24 115 preacher curl x24 255 assist dip x24-26 285 assist pullup x2 1/2 190 crunch x40 tonight was run of the mill i read to pull with the elbows (something i knew a few years ago, but forgot since getting back into the gym) on the barbell bent row, and haven't done that until about 280lb. i can't do that for more than a set or so, before doing the previous form (mostly arm muscles, less back). it's not so bad, i hope it catches up before i have to drop weight.

going vegan cold turkey... lol

You've signed for Alicia Silverstone? dude that girl is hooootttttttt

I don't believe you. The body just wouldn't try to adapt to something it wasn't perceiving as a limit.

310 deadlift x16 140 ohp x24 155 bench x13 75x2 side raise x12 95x2 shrug x24 70 front raise x25 - so deadlifting tonight was interesting. left hamstring failure caused an amazing experience. i've been seeing flashes of light on my 285 lb bent row, at the top of the rep. today i saw flashes of light while deadlifting and after doing 16 reps, i waited for a few minutes to do the next set, but i failed mid-pull and saw intense light, got dizzy, wondered if i was dying, and then it all melted into the music shaking. this was my queue to stop deadlifting for the night. i am not going to take a break, i believe this was a side effect of muscle failure (intense release of endorphins). my overhead press was usual. my bench i read how to do better last night so i widened the grip (elbows perpendicular to the floor at the bottom of the motion) and this made it more difficult, plus i got way more stimulation in the chest so of course i failed with fewer reps than usual (although it was a new weight). side raises are strange to me, it seems like i fail when i do them rapidly, but if i breathe enough fresh blood through the muscles i can do more reps on them. nonetheless i let it slide and considered the first time this happened a failure. the shrugs are getting hard as fuck to get done because of pulling the dumbbell off the rack, but they are still easy to do. and the front raise was funny because i did 1 rep more than i wanted to, since 1 time i wasn't sure if it was the full range of motion or not.
