My workout sched is coming along great! My adventure racing 'team' has completely disbanded the idea.... so I am just training now for the heck of it. I've got Dragonboat coming up in a few months. Last year we were the defending team and lost.... so hopefully we can pick it up again this summer.

FYI ... CLA --> Conjugated linoleic acid is a naturally occuring trans fat (although it's a good trans fat, because it has a different bonding mechanism) that you get from grass fed animals, and any products that they turn into. It helps to promote muscle fiber growth (as opposed to increasing the number of actual fiber cells, you are increasing their cross section and making each cell bigger), and it helps to prevent fat storage. Quite a few studies have validated using CLA as a supplement.

I don't know if any of you have been watching the milk commercials lately, but most milk companies are pushing the 1oz per hour challenge (drinking an ounce of milk per hour of the day). Essentially, it's keeping your CLA levels high, which is what a supplement would do anyways.

Darkpuppet: I would recommend increasing your fibre consumption, and maybe even adding a bit more fish to your diet. I don't know what your diet is like now, but salmon is a great source of Omegas, and their benefits are insane.
Question? Have you changed up your weights at all, or are you still doing the same exercises/weight as you were when you started. If so, you might want to try adding a few exercises, and maybe decreasing your weight a few pounds, but increasing the reps. That will help get you nice and cut
