Radioactive, Radioactive.....a shock to the system (What I have learnt about pre workout drinks)

Boom! And it starts......

To this -

19:00:

Right, so like the little Italian boy with the ever growing appendage, I cannot lie to you (well I could, but I honestly really do not have the energy to spin that web of deceit), I am bloody knackered!

I was somewhat misinformed by the packaging for my pre-workout powder/drink.  It was my understanding that it was the gym bro equivalent to a cup of tea first thing in the morning to dust of that final layer of sleep and get you ready for the day.  

Being an educated man of Science and finding a use for the Level 1 Pharmacology module I took called "Lab Skills For Beginners", I carefully measured the precise measurement of 1/3 scoop.  But wait, the front of the packet says use 2/3 of a large scoop.  At this point I am perplexed as the scoop is labelled itself as a medium scoop.  In fact, is it even alluding to a measurement at all or is it alternatively the number of scoops to use!?! 

Delving further into mathematics that are not usually fathomable at that time of the morning, the contents section says the bag contains 20 servings!  The conundrum here is that I believe with the aid of the pre-workout I would have been able to solve this dilemma.  

Deciding to throw caution to the wind I upgrade to my extra large protein scoop and just go nuts with the pre workout powder as if I was filling a large a nose candy order for Charlie Sheen.  10 seconds later it was down the hatch and I was on my merry way......

Meanwhile 15 minutes later (halfway to work).....

Jesus Christ! (must have drunk this green radioactive liquid for him to perform the miracles he did or at least that is what he thought he was doing if he drank this stuff)

Upon arriving at work another 15 minutes later......

Two minutes after arriving at the gym, the pre workout had worn off.....

The lesson here is to take the pre workout a little bit later.  Actually the lesson is probably not to drink the stuff at all, I mean this is the type of colour they give to cleaning chemicals to stop kids from drinking them right?  I am however going to bow to the subculture and act like a real bro and at least finish the bag.  I want to be respected and I am sure that is one of the best ways to earn gym kudas.  That and sick gains....

As before I have completely zoned out to where I was heading with this.  The rest of the day was as blur of back and chest exercises professionally demonstrated to me by "Big Bad Joe" with his sidekick...erm I have not given a nickname to him yet so I will call him Adam.  More about them in a future post.

Positives of the day:

1) One (and a bit) pull ups, even if Big Bad Joe said I should not be really be swinging like Tarzan from the chin up bar whilst doing them (them implies multiples, apologies for my terrible grammar)

2) Getting home from work and attempting to start the 5k zombie run challenge (I did a little over 3k running and walking)

Negatives of the day:

1) Mini Sick

Well that is another ramble over and all I have left for today, my fingers now feel like sausages attempting to play Moonlight Sonata on a Speak and Spell. 

Thanks for reading my latest take on life

P.S Mini-Sick (Definition) - that small sick that sometimes comes up when you burp leaving the taste of your last meal in your mouth before being swallowed back down!

BURP! Oh dear, just made mini sick in my mouth. Tastes like the chicken I had for dinner!
