They make a lot of good stuff in addition to Hop Devil - Storm King Stout, Old Horizontal Barleywine, Sunrise Weiss and Moonglow Weizenbock. (They still open the summer with the Sunrise Hefeweizen, and used to close it with the Sunset Dunkleweizen, but they've not made the Sunset in a long time, I'm guessing in favor of making more Moonglow. I miss that beer.)

More than all the workouts in stage 7 so far, this combo sucked hard core. My arms are killing me.
Stage 7, Workout 5
Bench Press (sub for incline bench press)
2x8x85
Seated Row
2x8x90
Static Lunge, RFE
4x15x15e
Push-up
4x15 (feet & hands on floor)
Barbell Romanian Deadlift
4x15x115
Dumbbell bent-over row
4x15x30e
I've had it with this high-rep business. I felt nauseous and even got a side ache halfway through my workout. A SIDE ACHE!! grr.
You know what sounds great right now? A deep dish pizza with lots of sausage and cheese. And a bomber of arrogant bastard. YUM.

I'm diggin the nomenclature. Too bad they appeared to have discontinued it.
I liked the "Collaboration not Litigation" ale from Avery. Both for the name and that it was delicious. Story behind the name --> HERE.

what's in it? hmm. water, barley, hops... I'm not sure. It's fantastic, though. Bitter and malty. Arrogant Bastard or Are You Worthy? I love their marketing for it.
Stone apparently has a new anniversary release - bitter chocolate oatmeal stout. Holy delicious. I want one.
ooooh. shopping time. I would look great in this.
*must resist*

“Our Anniversary Ale this year stems from 2 pilot beers that were brewed by members of Team Stone. The first was Jeremy Moynier’s incredibly delicious Oatmeal Stout, and the second was Jake Ratzke’s amazing homebrewed Imperial Stout that had authentic Oaxacan chocolate added to the boil. We loved both beers so much that we decided to combine the recipes to make this year’s Anniversary offering: Stone 12th Anniversary Bitter Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. This beer pours deep black with a rich brown head of foam. The aroma is dominated by roast malt and cocoa. Upon tasting, the cocoa (we used unsweetened, unprocessed cacao sourced through our friends at Chuao Chocolatier) really comes through with a deep chocolate flavor and a long lasting bitter finish. The roasted grains used add coffee and licorice accents. It is a thick beer, but not sweet, with the addition of oatmeal in the mash providing a rich, silky mouthfeel that adds to the creamy texture.”

Stone doesn't distribute out here.  Nor does Dogfish Head. PFF, losers.
Also, I don't use IM. I used to, years ago, but I got tired of stupid random IMs from strangers, "wanna chat?"  Plus, message boards are addictive enough as it is. Thanks for the invitation though.

No workout today - rest day for me, which is good because my shoulders are pretty sore after yesterday's workout. I think I'm going to walk to the ATM & store this evening but that's about it for today.
Weighed in at 143.4 this morning. 139, here I come.
I'm getting a lot more vascular on my arms, especially my forearms. Kinda cool, but it also does make me wonder if eventually I'm going to become known as "manhands" at work... hm.
Today's eats:
1. omelet
2. salad (lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, lite blue cheese dressing)
3. kung pao chicken PN style
4. 2 slices turkey breast, kiwi fruit
5. chicken breast & brussel sprouts, both covered in dijon mustard & capers. And a string cheese.
Last night I made a snack of just cottage cheese & cherries, but i put some TrueProtein french vanilla powder in the cottage cheese. Why did I never do this before?!! I will likely make it again tonight.
After cottage cheese/cherries:
cals: 1109

I had a no workout day on Saturday - no lifting, no cardio. It was super sweet! It's kind of nice to take a break from routine. Walking to the ATM sounds nice. I need to do that, too.
So, how come you at protein for an after dinner snack? That's one thing I didn't quite get in the NROL4W book: if you have protein shack after a workout, why do you have it at other times? Is it because you haven't gotten enough protein the rest of the day?
The Tour de Gastown is happening outside my office in a few minutes! This should be cool. They're already playing techno/house music in the street. Apparently people ring little bells at the cyclists. It would be awesome to be a great cyclist like these women.

I have a TrueProtein custom mix that I regularly use with my cottage cheese. BSL Chocolate Flavor.

Do you plan on doing that one year? I bet it's inspiring!
I eat protein with every snack, so whether it's bedtime or midday, protein. Why?
1. Minimal, if any, effect on blood glucose levels which I try to keep as stable as possible. If I were to eat cookies or ice cream, not only would I be eating more calories, it would cause my blood sugar to spike, causing insulin to spike, causing a drop in my blood sugar as it was carried out to my cells (along with any fat), causing me to get hungry quickly. Protein doesn't really do that, and it takes longer to digest.
2. It keeps me fuller longer. See #1.
3. If I'm going to have a snack, protein makes sense. Unless i'm munching on a small bowl of oat groats or something like that, any carbs I eat will simply be turned into sugar. What is that doing for me other than refilling my glycogen stores and what I mentioned in #1? Not much. Eating fat is way too calorie-dense for my current goals (I do love me some spoonfuls of peanut butter though, mmmm). Protein helps me minimize muscle loss/breakdown while i'm in a calorie deficit, curbs my hunger, and is pretty calorically efficient.
4. I want my body to use fat, not glucose, for energy. So if I keep my glycogen stores depleted (by not eating a lot of carbs, which get converted to glucose), my body has the option to burn fat or protein. From what I understand, the body will opt for fat first as long as you are eating enough protein.
Once I get to my goal weight, I might eat slightly more carbs. For instance, I might have a small bowl of oatmeal & flax seed for snack. Or celery & peanut butter. But, for now, I keep my snacks on the protein-heavy side of things just to help me stick to my goals.
I'll see if I can dig up anything that helps... maybe this...
Protein for Bodybuilding - How Much Protein for Bodybuilding - Bodybuilding Protein Requirements

John Berardi has a ton of stuff on his site - John Berardi - Nutrition Articles - and I highly recommend going through some of his stuff.

Wow! More stuff from DM to read! You're a wealth of knowledge. If you had a degree in physio & nutrition, I'd go to you, hands down.
