[Montego1]

I've used that rounded scoop a few times and I haven't noticed difference in energy but did get more thermo effects. Definitely don't need that much for most guys.

Thanks guys

I used 3/4 today and was just as effective. And funny enough the appetite suppression was back (mind you that might have just been a one off yesterday). But I love how you can really stretch out a tub of this stuff - great on the wallet.

This morning go up and did a 5km (fasted with bcaasaa - in the pouring rain - chilled to the bone when I got back).

Was this using the 60% of 10 rep max, seems it is the first time you started failing mid sets which is great. How did you like it with slightly the heavier weights? The hard work takes some of the monotony out of it, or did to me just because of the intensity in the latter sets.

 

[packers6211]

Awesome updates!!! If it's one thing I know is I can always check in here to see my brother smacking the weights like they were pillows!!! Keep killing it brother.

Yes or close to it anyway. I do find it a bit more engaging with slightly more weight and trying to keep that 4x tempo (which I find way harder to do the further I get into the sets). 10 sets is a lot though. As I tick each one off on my log sheet, I'm thinking f*ck me! lol And just turn the music louder.

[wasme]

You are KILLING it big boy! I wish I could move the weight like you do!

Thanks man... you aren't far behind.

 

[iparatroop]

Are you making up for the reps that you fail to complete? I don't remember off the top of my head, but I believe that you're supposed to make up for them somehow. I'll look it up.
Either way, you're killing it and I'm glad you're enjoying the stimul8. Sessions are looking brutal, as usual.

No, didn't know I was suppose to? So I would add an 11th set with the ones I have missed? And thanks. The energy and focus I am getting from Stimul8 is definitely working for me with GVT.

I'm gonna look it up for you, as I don't remember off the top of my head. I know there are different versions of GVT so we'll see. Give me a few to do some reading.

 

[Montego1]

Don't think you make them up. Next session you try to beat previous reps so you 10x10 then add weight.

 

[Montego1]

Nah you don't make them up. You don't go to failure. You don't use negatives beyond the normal tempo. When you hit all sets and reps you up the weight by five percent.

 

[iparatroop]

Nah you don't make them up. You don't go to failure. You don't use negatives beyond the normal tempo. When you hit all sets and reps you up the weight by five percent.

[Montego1]

I just cooked the oatmeal and added like 4oz of water in the blender.

When I poured it over ice the ice melted cause the oatmeal was still scalding hot lol.

yessir, exactly
secondary was the thick, fantastic taste that cream gives it, yum
this works better in a bulk-type approach (obviously), but I can fit this shake in any type of diet/goal setting

Happy Hallowe'en my brothers...

Dosed a scoop of Stimul8 before heading out in the pouring rain this morning, did 5.5km. Was absolutely drenched upon my return and had to have a complete change of clothing, shoes and all. Stimul8 kicked in around the half way mark as usual. Breathing intensified, speed increased. Nice!

Time to up that weight! I was surprised when I hit all my sets on legs yesterday. Going to ratchet up to 205 on squats next go around.

I was thinking 195 next go round for squats.. and 70 on the leg curls

 

[Montego1]

Those look like solid increases to me. How long are you trying between exercises in the super sets?

 

[wasme]

To be honest, I think @ 195 I will be toast after 5-6 sets but according to Kleen that is the point and build to 10x10.

Right now I am getting about 45-50 seconds between exercises. (Squat 45sec, leg curl 45sec, ....)

Mine goes

Squats then 20 seconds rest (basically enough time to move to the other exercise). Leg curls then 90 seconds rest.

45 seconds is usually the most I EVER use during any other training and never with ss.

 

[MrKleen73]

It is really just an alternated set more than a Superset. In the original it is done with 90 seconds between each exercise but that is a lot. 60 between each is going to lean you up some and 45 between YOWZA's that is beast mode. I do like your modification Monte, and it probably ends up being apples to apples on difference between 110 seconds rest total your way and 120 doing 60 rest between each one. When I did it with the 90 I couldn't get out of the gym without going over an hour easily. Was no big deal when young and single but employed and with a busy family that ain't cutting it for me.

True supersets my only rest is exercise to excerise or changing a weight as you mentioned. I am doing the same, just moving a little slower, and the rest becomes a little more as the sets get deeper, but never beyond that 45-50 seconds.

I hear you on the one.

 

[RegisterJr]

Crazy man, but intriguing. I think I may steal your leg routine... Are you doing this to gain, or lean, or does it matter depending on foods?
