Yuck! I think I'd skip the protein powder.

Either that or keep your teeth together to sift out the crummies...

31 min incline threadmill walking
@ 3 mph 168 cals

standing side laterals : 15 kg x 10 x 3
(felt a bit heavy for today)

wk 3 day 3, 21st Jan 08, mon
(2 x 10) - suppose to be wk 4
but since i missed a workout, might
as well roll it out properly.

1) barbell squats: 160 ibs
2) incline bench press: 140 ibs
3) pendlay rows: 120 ibs
4) front military press: 100 ibs
5) barbell shrugs: 160 ibs
6) ez barbell curls: 90 ibs
7) close grip benchpress: 160 ibs

was taking medication (having a slight cough
AGAIN!) so felt drowsy, skip deadlifts.

one question guys, recently when i do
barbell curls, i felt this tingling sensation
which went down e mid back, not pain
but it felt like an electrical charge going down.

er, am i going to get a stroke? kinda scared.

Sounds like nerves. I doubt I'd worry about it if it's only occasional. You get older, you'll have all sorts of little twitches, glitches and spikes that pop in and out. Just add more weight.
 
I get lower trapezius (center-of-back) fatigue doing curls since the trapezius stabilize the scapula, I never got electrical twinges, it sounds like you are pinching a nerve, make sure to keep your shoulders back, tight and your mid-back tight when curling, that should help.
 
25 Jan 08 wk 4 day 1

heart was willing but flesh was not.
brackets denote 2nd set with failure
1st no. means e no. i did then rerack
or pause &amp; do e balance. e exception
was for chest when i literally went
dead in my tracks with no spotter
&amp; had to half flip e 140 ibs from my chest
straight down to my legs &amp; onto e bench.

quickly found a spotter to rerack &amp; spot
me on e remaining 3 reps.

not exactly happy with this workout to say
e least.
