Indeed it is. Do you know what the caffeine content is? I'd like to not go too far overboard with caffeine, and want to know if I should cut out the morning OEP dose.

Today, I took 2 caplets of OEP in the morning and 1 scoop of jack3d at lunch pre-workout.

On the weekends, if I sleep in and don't get my morning dose of OEP, I get a taste of what it's gonna be like going through caffeine withdrawals if I cut this out cold turkey after 8 weeks.

That's my dosage plus one OEP late afternoon. Not sure on the the exact caffeine content because they don't list it but I heard it was around 80-100mg per scoop.

I don't know if it's just because I can't get motivated, or what, but I just don't seem to get any stronger at back lifts. Except dead lifts, but dead lifts and I still maintain a love/hate relationship. I love them... once they're over.

Thrash, really just focus on your form and getting a strong contraction with you back exercises. Don't stress about the weight as much and focus on getting a pump/burn. I have had better results when I focus on what I'm doing rather than just moving the weight. Back is tricky. You have to work by feel b/c you can't see the muscles working.

Certain "supplements" are useful for putting your mind in tune with your body, thus improving your muscle control. At least that's what I've heard. :whistling:

Speaking of supplements. What's the best stack to use strictly for strength building? When I finish up this OEP/Jack3d/C20, I'd like to get serious.

I would recommend at least 1.5 g of protein per pound of your target bodyweight, creatine, an NO booster, plenty of healthy fats and carbs. If you have trouble adding muscle you might consider a weight gainer.

Worry less about supplements, more about food IMO.

A typical meal for lunch includes a grilled chicken sammich, a can of tuna, an apple, yogurt, protein shake and 2% milk. Is that too much of the bad stuff? It's been a while since I actually counted out grams of protein, carbs and fat. I'm pretty much on the "try to eat healthier stuff, while still eating a lot" diet. Sometimes I substitute PB&J on whole weat for chicken breast if I don't have any grilled.

Breakfast is usually oatmeal and a protein/clif bar, with some fruit and a protein shake sometime between breakfast and lunch.

Dinner is usually a spaghetti, tuna helper or baked chicken sort of deal, and if there's leftovers, I'll have that with lunch the following day instead of PB&J or chicken sammich.

Then choco milk or another protein shake before bed.

I suppose I should try counting my calories for a week and see just how I'm doing as far as my imaginary goals, and maybe make adjustments.

Also, with all the tuna, sometimes if I'm not careful to eat fiber, I get constipated. :eek:hmy: :unsure: :ermm:
