I will take 2 PR-XT at 0515 with a protein shake. I will then takemy pre-workout cocktail at about 0600. Same as today's, with only 200mg of caffeine as a stim.
Gym time at 0630 to execute the following-
SS1- WARM UP SS
EZ BAR CURLS- LIGHT WEIGHT, 25 REPS, 3 SETS
BENCH DIPS- 25 REPS, 3 SETS
I should be sufficiently warm at this point....

REVERSE GRIP SKULL CRUSHER(EZ BAR)- 10-12 REPS, 4 SETS TO FAILURE

Have you got tendon issues or something else?My forearms constantly hurt, i havent performed dedicated biceps in a long time...
Next time I have problems I will definitely try the leaning forward trick. I will wait a few weeks before doing any dumbell curls, just stick with the barbell or ez curl bar for now to prevent straining anything.It's tough because I often feel the forearm strain during bicep training. I have to try to remember to not roll my wrists and use my palms more. Sometimes a slight lean forward is enough to take the strain off my forearms and shoulders too.
I have a feeling that you are right.Cool.
You'll add some major mass if that stays at bay.
I am taking cissus for that as well. 4 grams a day. Also glucosamine, hyaluronic acid, msm, and 6 grams of fish oil. This helps my hip pains as well.I had forearm tedonitis flare some kinda bad in March. Strict form hammers and Reverse BB Curls did wonders for helping! I also added some bulk cissus at 4-5g day.
Welcome to the show brother!! I know you have experience with PR-XT.Dang, when did you sneak this in here? And, how'd you get so lucky? HAHA! Tear it up senor! I'm in!

** this will probably change. I will probably have 6oz chicken instead of 4, and maybe some cheese over my green beans.
Pics and measurements will come tonight if my wife ever gets home. It's without a pump, and skipping my waist measurement until I have a BM. I haven't had one in two days. My belly doesn't normally look as puffy as it does. Rode with someone in training who doesn't use the bathroom so my water intake has been low.
Welcome! Thanks for subbing !!Hell of a stack man, in it to watch you win it!
-I did a 30-day run and gained about 5 good pounds afterwards. I'm sure running a solid 8-week run will net you more. Also, I didn't do much, if any, cardio during my run. Just a 45-min walk after my post shake.Welcome to the show brother!! I know you have experience with PR-XT.
What kind of gains can we expect and when? If you have any tips and advice along the way that would be great.
Also, i would prefer to take my Pre dose on empty with a pre-workout, does it have to be with food? I have been drinking a shake with it like 45 minutes out, but that sits on my stomach when I take my PWO

Thanks bro, and welcome!-I did a 30-day run and gained about 5 good pounds afterwards. I'm sure running a solid 8-week run will net you more. Also, I didn't do much, if any, cardio during my run. Just a 45-min walk after my post shake.
-Every other week, libido would spike, and then settle back down. Did not mind at all, though I wish I had a gf to share the love...haha!
-About 6, 7 days in, had a great sense of well-being and overall positive mood and disposition. For me, this was heaven! One of the reasons I loved this stuff!
-I would recommend going high protein/moderate carbs (or at least time your carbs around an hour/1.5hr before working and your post shake) Then again, if you respond favorably to carbs, this might not apply. I think I had too many carbs and was more bloated than I wanted to be...BUT, in stacking this with NXT, this might not be an issue with you.
-As for timing, I cannot recall if I took the preworkout dose without any food. It's recommended to take with food, so one of the MAN reps might be able to shed more light on that. I don't think it'll make or break your routine if you take that dose without food, given the other 2 doses are with some food.
-One final item: eat, eat, eat! I never did get hunger pains like some have reported, but I was mixing in some coffee with my morning shake, so that might have curbed the appetite to some extent.
Enjoy the run, keep doing what you're doing and you'll be in good hands!
Looking jacked bro. 11 days until the next set of pics. Every 2 weeks. You are going to get ripped!
Thanks bro! I hope to gain inches, and lose fat!Looking jacked bro. 11 days until the next set of pics. Every 2 weeks. You are going to get ripped!
Thanks bro, and welcome!A little bit late, but I'm in on this log!
Thanks for dropping in!A little bit late, but I'm in on this log!
Don't expect downward movement of the scale. If anything it should go up.Knocked out a killer workout from 0445-0538. 24 sets! I may post it early today if the rain keeps up and I can't get any work done.
I weighed in at 184.4 today. Normally I would have dropped down to 182-183 by a Thursday, especially after an awesome BM yesterday! #TMI
Question for you guys; Where about should I keep my calories on off days? I'm very active typically, riding a bicycle, 4-6 hours of yard work on a weekend day, swimming, etc. This Saturday will be an exception, I have to drive 10+ hours, but I get to see drewsicle3210 for the first time in almost 2 years (I think since my wedding).
Nothing wrong with having to take a day... especially when you have already planned your make up days... Hope the thumb feels better dudeI hate to do this but I have to take an off day today. This thumb is swollen and stiff. I stuck an 18g needle through the nail to drain it and relieve some pressure, but it only helped a little. I put myself in for an xray also.
Whatever happens, I will do my today's workout tomorrow and Friday's on Saturday. Another rest day on Sunday.
I will make sure to update here the xray results. Minor set back!!
But.... I may still get my workout in later, depends how well this tramadol and motrin works
Well, seems as I have no need to chime into the questions...-As for timing, I cannot recall if I took the preworkout dose without any food.

Big hitter though on another forum, with another great log going there!I'm gonna jump in on this thread. I'm a noob around this forum, but always like to see what happens in MAN logs
That's what I'm hoping for. I ha been dropping way down around 180 by Fridays. I'm hoping it trends upward soon.Don't expect downward movement of the scale. If anything it should go up.
Welcome bro!I'm gonna jump in on this thread. I'm a noob around this forum, but always like to see what happens in MAN logs
Thanks Doing some good work in here!Welcome bro!
Welcome!! Enjoy the ride. This is going to be an eventful and record shattering MAN experience.I'm gonna jump in on this thread. I'm a noob around this forum, but always like to see what happens in MAN logs
Ok. I got it. Yeah, if I have anymore issues with my tendon I will try that.Well, seems as I have no need to chime into the questions...
edit: drew - I meant to say low weight, very high rep hammers and reverse BB curls, emphasizing strict movements.
Nice nice nice. I am going to match or beat those numbers. Or at least some of them.6-6-13

Upper body stretches----
NOTES:
***Jefit programmed WO. 1 super set; approx 00:45 between each set in each SS, then 00:60 in between the start of the next SS. I think my goal today was initially 8 reps to failure, but the cable machine I used maxed at 150 and I didn't know where to start with super setting all these. It will take me a while to get it down. PR's on everything at some point, except for Arnold's and the shoulder presses. Weak on those recently...
The bench wasn't set back as much as the picture shows. I believe it was two notches back from upright. **

How's the thumb? You seriously need to stop hurting yourself.
