You can but I wouldn't recommend it.

IF it's relaxing cardio...by all means.

Yeah, like last night I went to the local skating rink and skated for about an hour. It was a service project through my school for helping out underpriviledged kids in my community. It was really fun giving piggie back rides and such. It kinda felt like I had a little brother. :D Anyways, diet was good.
5/6/10
meal1 (previously stated)
meal2 titan protein bar
meal3 2 whole wheat tuna wraps each with 1can of tuna and 1/2tsp of olive oil mayo. yogurt, and a small handful of almonds
meal4 shake- 1 cup milk, 1 large banana, 1 tbsp PB, 1 scoop whey, 1 yogurt
meal5 1 large yam, 2 cups cottage cheese mixed with a yogurt, 1 cap KA
meal6 1.5 cups cottage cheese,then had about 400cals worth of peanuts in the shell. Damn im addicted to shelled peanuts!

Anyways, might go on a nice jog outside today if its nice. My mother likes to run , but she goes at a slow pace...so it wont be to intense. Feeling GREAT! cant wait for the gains!!!!!!!

Awesome work Pfrogg and good for you for doing good deeds!

Life is circular like that. A great read in this area is "The Secret". Forget the author but it's all about karma.

And you'll have loads of it in Feast... I promise :)

Yesterday I just played some Ultimate Frisbee with some guys at school for about 45 min. I was trying to keep it non-intense but after about 5 min my competitive spirit took over. Anyways, I feel like I am recovering from the famine quite nicely(hamstrings and thighs still kinda sore).My chest feels nice, full and ready to slam some weight. Food yesterday went a little something like this.

Meal1 1 cup oats, 1 yogurt, 1 scoop whey, 1 tbsp natty PB, handfull of prunes, 1 cap KA
meal2 Protein Bar
Meal3 Organic turkey lunchmeat on sprouted WW bread, with roasted red pepper hummus. , Handful of carrots, and a muscle milk RTD. ( I picked up 5, 4 packs of muscle milk rtds for $2 each.)
Meal4 Protien Bar
meal5 Fruit and whey smoothie, 1 cap KA
meal6 1 large yam, 2 chicken breasts, Finished it off with snacking on some trail mix.


Only thing to report yet body changing wise....My crap is greener than EVER! Kinda weird, I know. Anyways bout to head off to work.

Rob, I was wondering if I could supplement these workouts with say...abs/traps/calves/forearms/cardio on one of my 2 off days?

Awesome work Phrogg!

The additional work I'm a little wary of. Personally, I'd forgo it only b/c it can do more harm than good, especially for hardgainers.

Suggest tabling it for now.

GREAT job getting bodyweight traction going. It's just going up from here..

I know they arnt listed as supplements to use in BP but could I use a pre workout NO booster? I have some left over packets of cellucor m5 extreme v2. Cellucor makes quality stuff and I like the product.

NO boosters are fine but I wouldn't use in place of a peri-workout drink if you're in an either/or spot.

You'll note in The Blueprint I cite MOST isolated amino's I feel are a waste...with the exception of GABA and some Arginine derivatives. That latter point is a reference to some NO products, which I feel are of some value (Nitro AKG, for example). Cellucor in yours.

As I've ALWAYS said.... use what works for YOU! Especially if you have some laying around :)
