Torben's training log, Phase 3: do you even lift, brah?

[Torben]

Read up on split routines, so feels like I got abit better idea of what I should do. Will go down to the gym and get help by an instructor this week, just waiting for cash so I can bunker up on food, quark and whey

also check out all "light" products,  the fat in those are replaced by whey,  which makes them highly effective protein sources! light versions of brie and camenbert clock at around 20g/100,  just like meat but half the price,  and no cooking involved ^^

and ofc nuts nuts nuts.  jason statham goes crazy over nuts.

Something I also started with is D-vitamine supplement, especielly during cloudy days and between autumn-spring, makes a whole lot of difference.

Only thing I take is iron, if I skip taking it for too long I get easily dizzy or tired. You could say iron is my spinach.

[Oberyn]

Is that a deliberate joke? My sense of humour is broken today . Cause spinach is supposedly a great source of iron. Maybe your spinach can be your iron?

Only reason I mentioned it was because of Popeye

unfortunately the myth of spinach being a great iron source evolved because some guy set the decimal wrong.  its still good,  but not as good as the myth suggests.

yeah,  vit-d is great.  used to inject vit b12 with vit D,  was really nice.  unfortunatly D is considered a steroid since a while now and isnt readily available to the public in high dosage.  good thing Im a doctor ^^

[Berserkadin]

Really? Steroid? Thats fucked up lol, here in Sweden you can buy 50mg pills.

only in high dosage,  and especially D derivates are,  they work modulating on the DNA.  dam these are the times i wish i had studied in english,  keep thinking I mess up a few words -.-
