Omega-3

My bad, I know I said I was gonna take pre-work out but work-outs and just in general walking long ass distances has been pretty intense as of late.

Since I work out at home (more specifically my room), I always been somewhat distracted at times with doing other things while lifting weights. I would change songs in winamp, surf the web a bit, load up some youtube videos, etc...To finish my routine, it would take roughly two hour and thirty minutes. Just recently I changed it up a bit, by just banging thru sets, minimal downtime between sets.

Example, 3x3 sets, dunno how to expand.

set 1, rest 10-30 seconds (catch my breath and/or sip drink, whatever)
set 2, rest 10-30 seconds
set 3, rest 1 to 2 minutes, repeat. Now sometimes I do get a little distracted but not as long as before. Really pay attention to this now.

Done 3 times then move onto next 3 exercises. With being more focused on just doing the work-out, cut approximately an hour off the work-out time and just pushed myself more, really work up a decent sweat. Soreness the next day increased a bit the next day. Then there's these long as walks, usually it's just to buy shit but every single time it's like 1 km + to get there, go home, onto next place, go home, onto next place, go home.

One of these walking things was to get some Omega-3 fish oil. Now I've been taking this Omega 3-6-9 supp and honestly, I didn't really feel that it actually helped in any way. I bouth the 3-6-9 back when I was really uneducated about supps, I was looking at the shit, and was like why just get omega 3 when I could get 3-6-9. It's more complete right? WRONG. Omega-6 we get plenty in our diets, there's tons of that shit in cooking oils, and guess that oil is used for a lot of stuff, fries, chips, cookies, crackers, processed meat, ya cook your meats in oil? we get more than enough of that shit. Omega 9, if you looking after your diet that shouldn't be a problem. Eat some nuts and shit (peanuts, cashews, almonds <-almonds is high in this shit). So in the end, what I was lacking really was omega 3, which is bests sources are from fish, which I rarely eat maybe once or twice a week.

Normally when I wake up, I feel terrible. Muscles are usually sore or ache, and they pretty much say, "Dee, go back to bed, you aren't ready to wake up yet". And you know what I listen to my body and just go back to sleep. Now I usually get in the 6-7 hours sleep before i wake up, so i think it's understandable for body to say back to sleep you! When I took that Omega-3 shit damn, next day when i woke up, I was awake, muscle soreness was there, but wasn't as intense as previous times. Really I just felt like I get up outta bed and could function without sleeping another 2-3 hours (which I normally do). I dosed like 1.8g combined of epa & dha. I didn't know how much to take, googling it has so many different results ranging from like 1-6g. But reading some shit, somewhere around 2g should be good, 3g could extra bleeding (I don't know...like I say, find out what's right for you, do some searching yourself. But yeah that 1.8g I took for me seems like a good cost for results.

so what I'm trying to say, don't fall for the Omega 3-6-9 supp, just get the Omega-3 if you're gonna pick this stuff up.
