Hi missjane, I’m not following any particular diet plan, I drafted my own diet using ideas from mostly from TNT and PN. I usually keep the carbs very low, under 50g during the week, on the weekend I take it up a bit, call it a reload if you will. One of my very big issues is how fast I can gain weight, there is no problem in that department. Sometimes I wish I could give some of my weight gaining ability to the Scrawny to Brawny guys. Thanks for the faith, I know I can do it, it’ll just take more will-power! I am trying to stay away from NROL for the time being because most of the workouts involve deadlifts, but I need to latch onto something because my flying blind routine is growing old. As for the running, I’m not really into long-distance running, but I’ve always told myself that the guy with a six pack (Not Beer!) could do it. At this point I don’t have any interest in running any further than the whole Sand Run trail, I may do a few 5k’s just for fun but that will probably be it. I also have concentrated mostly on HITT for the last 5 or so months. Not only has it helped me loose loads of lard, but it also tremendously increased my athletic ability. I was working-out at the Falls Natatorium for a while; I am currently working-out at the Akron JCC. I do pass the Akron General facility pretty often because I work in Mayfield Hts.


I made it out to the gym today and had a surprisingly good workout. I spent 40 minutes lifting followed by some HITT. My bench press is very weak, 10 reps with 135 is okay but not far from a spotter on the third set. My squat is also pretty weak, currently working with the same weight as my bench. I’m not trying to get these numbers up right now, that will come in about six weeks. Anyway, it’s late, I’m tired, I’m out.

At about 95% with the "cold" now.

Since you are familiar with NROL, how about trying one of the NROL programs for the next 3 weeks to work on building more muscle? I used to be a runner, too. But, now I am more focused on lifting and only doing HIIT instead of the longer, slower cardio.

By the way, I live in Stow right now. If you move to Stow, we have an awesome new AGMC Wellness Center you could join!
