MKretz gets marinaded in muscle marinade!

[mkretz]

today was a pretty solid back day...... felt pretty run down most of the day but the workout still turned out pretty good.... I did alot of things with bands. I am able to use a private gym this week with noone there almost always, it was pretty damn sweet, a whoel gym to myself. I took teh d pol a little late today but is wear it hits that hour mark after taking it and the pumps hit, even with doing power reps 4-6 reps i was still getting a sick pump goin in my back. I did banded rack DLs, banded bent over rows for power, deadlifts, not to failure 5x5 jsut to get back into deads, felt powerful though, theres sumthin to eb said about ripping a weight off the ground. also then did some banded hammer strength rows and a front pull down/rev grip pulldown super set to fry the lats. This gym also has the only donkey calf raise machine ive ever seen and love it so i did some of those.....great workout

 

[mkretz]

had a nice arm workout today.... much longer than i anticipated, my buddy showed up real late and then wekinda dicked around sooo i wasnt too happy with it, messed up my focus, im the kinda guy tha relaly likes to be zoned in ya know not alking the whole time, but I sitll managed to have lots of energy throughout the 2 hours workout so MM def id its job, d-pol is still giving great pumps, cant relaly complain about anything right now

 

[mkretz]

me and a buddy shot a few videos on chain benching and squatting and sum glute bridges, hope to have them up soon and ill share jsut for the hell of it!

 

[mkretz]

off day today, did a little cardio and sum calves, nuttin crazy...feeling a littel drained/depressed lately, kinda worried with my whole test. issue......jsut got alot of stuff goin on, could jsut be stress

 

[mkretz]

i must say, im really liin this stack, taste is spot on and i def. notice better pumps lately, dunno if its d pol , MM r the combo but im not complaining.....what ingredients in these 2 make them synergistic is what im wondering, like woudl it relal ybe that much different taking one r the other? like y did u choose to market them together?

They compliment each other because they are different really.
They can be run on their own for sure and you will still get good results. However you are getting several mechanisms of action to your muscle building arsenal when using both.
The biggest synergy is from the Nitrates as it adds endurance and workout capacity through its mechanism of action along with providing pumps that get better and better the longer you take it. The marinade really isn't designed to provide a "pump" though it has creatine and amino acids that can provide that in slight ways.

Then you add in that the D-pol is increasing one the main muscle building hormones TESTOSTERONE you're getting a big time bang for your buck.

 

[mkretz]

thanks for that....yea i never ralized that marinade doesnt have tons of pump ingredients although it is still oen of the best profiles out there, regardless im really likin them...if u say the dpol gets better with time im excited cuz im likin it right now

[mkretz]

p.s. due to my scheudle tomorrow i will be training fasted so hopefuly the d-pol will still have the same effect cuz its an arm day, gota gt sum goo dpumps on arm day haha, gonna be doing and IF type diet tomorrow too , only 2 real big meals...........

 

[mkretz]

the fasted training was not too great....i used to LG and was pretty used to it, but to jsut throw it in esp. after a tough leg workout wasnt smart...i jsut wasnt completely there, this is also a reason i usually take the day after legs off...... well had two days off for the first time in a long time with the arnold yest and ltos of work today, the diet was **** at the arnold though, literally just protein bars on top of protein bars all day....ready to go for tomorow thouhg, can wait to train again!​

 

[mkretz]

today was a great back workout.....MM kept me goin strong throughout the whoel thing....it was long btu i felt great the whoel time, alot of tiems i tend to drag towards the end but even up through my calves at teh end i had plenty of energy, felt great, loved it haha

Deadlifts - 265x5
265x5
275x5

105x10
115x10
120x9+3 (rested a little between reps)

dont know why but i tried to do bw pull ups and was shooting for 4 sets of 6-8 and only got 5 and 3 good reps without cheating so i jsut did weight pull ups on the machine...i really hate sucking at pull ups im gonna focus on them from nwo on i think, i dont liek doign them though cuz i suck at them lol, never been good at them, anyone got any tips for gettin good at pull ups?

anyways....10 x 10
10x10
10x9 ds 13x11 great squeezes all teh way up and slow controlled negatives

tbar row!!!! I decided i jstu wante dto load the effing bar and move some weight not worrying abotu form...to start

5plates +10 x 8
4 plates x 20 rest +5 Drop 3 plates x 15 2 plates controlled x 10

landmines 4 x 30 - ab exercise, figures i was at the tbar station so it was a good opportunity to do these!

bent over row.....

205 x 10
205x10
205x10 these sets were pretty sloppy not gonna lie , wanted to go heavy but i think iwas pretty shot form the t bars
145 x 15 solid set!

my school gym has a cool rowing station on liek the cable station which has the footplatforms higher and the cable higher so u row pulling down towards you a bit so i took advantage of that but did it with an ez bar underhand grip.......

all isolation work i really focused on exploding the concentric, squeezing and then having a slow controlled eccentric...really feel the muscles working this way, really liking it!

75x15
90x15
105x15

lat pullover

90x15
105x12+3 extra reps were done witha normalgrip other reps are with hands all teh way at the top of the handles for a bigger stretch

120x10+5 drop 90x15

hammer strength pull down

210x8 these were jerky reps
210x8
120x12 + 3 unilateral
120x 12 +3 unilateral drop 90 x 15.......good squeezes

some calf work on a hack squat machine and seated calf raises, dont remember wights but i did 4 sets on each, first two sets were heavy 8-12 reps and the next 2 sets were high reps around 20......i get a horrible pain in my foot when i do calf raises though which makes it realyl hard to do them its not liek planter fasciatis or anyrthing either its a bone issue, i think i brok emy foot a long time ago but never got it fixed and now the bone kinda like pokes out, i dunno, i do what i can, im nto gonna go have my foot broken to fix it.


this stack is fastly dwindling and its making me sad.....pumps are still great, energy, focus everythign is still great at one scoop although i do usually drink some coffee or green tea before hand as well, but sip on the MM throughout the workout, but suemtime si dont even fini****, didnt finsih it today (almsot) and today was a long one, so that will tell u something about its strenght!!!

 

[mkretz]

today was an "off" day but turned into quite teh wrokout day.....went in just gonna do some plyos but it tunred into alot of plyos and sum sprints....felt great i jsut didnt wanna stop, theres really not much else for me to say about that lol jsut felt great! still do haha....no crash jsut clean great energy, also i want to reemphasize how great this stuff tastes too! nice job purus!

 

[mkretz]

sooo i gotta be hoenst, i really didnt think i was going to train today, i had every intention too when i got up but after sitting through a new employee orientation(u know how much fun those are) i was absolutely dead , jsut wanted to sleep...fortunately we got out a littel early so i was able to run a few errands and that kinda woke me up...not totally though, i jsut pushed through i gues (whether i shoudl have or not....


anyways.... it was a leg day...and turned out to be a damn good one and i attribute alot of it to MUSCLE MARINADE!!!!!

mixed up about a scoop and a quarter and hit it hard..... went heavy to start on sets and pumped it out more towards the last few sets...think m gonna keep tryin this ou for a few weeks, i like the idea of relaly breakin down the muscle and then using hte higher reps towards the ned to relaly get the blood to the damaged areas......

[mkretz]

slin shot came in today, my log for the will be up asap hopefully by sunday night....busy weekend

 

[mkretz]

well i had a cray leg workout today, definitely ALOT of hormones released, there jsut had to be lol.....
did some heavy reverse banded squats which was a real cool feel to it.
Then did 4 sets of high rep squats which had me at the bottom of the rack on the last set
-next was 3 sets of heavy hack squats where i was ablt to set soem prs, and then one drop set to ttal failure

i also did glute bridges, RDL, sumo deads (lighter weight really focusing on squeeing my glutes) from a step so i had to get down extra low, 1 leg squats and a superset of leg curls with leg ext. to finish off....one hell of a workout

funny thing is i was really tired before teh workout and was REALLY close to taking today off, but the workout turned out to be one of my best leg workouts in a really long tiem, i was soooo focused the entire time, i think part of the reason was the fact that i was sweatin my ass off lol it was hot today and the sweat jsut gets me goin i guess haha......not looking forward to teh net couple of days.....unfortunately not gonna eb getting alot of sleep again tonight so recoery may be an issue, i really think this is where i tend to fall short, i train hard as hell, eat like crazy but soemtimes i jsut dotn rest enough im always on the go, and dont sleep very well..........

 

[AaronJP1]

I've had a few, and when I say few I mean very few days that when I feel tired and go in & still have a legit work out.
In the future for me I'll make sure I get my sleep and food 1st lol.

Glad u had a good work out.

Glad u had a good work out.

yea pretty suprising since it was les too, and it was a long workout...........MM is the real deal, still ahve energ too even after woring all night!!! prolly not good sicne i gotta sleep lol

 

[mkretz]

chest workout today...little shaky, wasnt relaly focused for sum reason, really no idea why since i took two days off.... did al ittel cardio both days, my guess is that i didnt get enough cals in, esp. sunday since i did cardio and tehn was on my feet ALL day literally dont think isat down till righ before bed, and still was only taking in around 2600 cals.....that mixed with almost no carsb both days, althoug my pre workout meal had about 125 g carbs in it so i dunno......got decently focused towards the end, ..........still feel like i got a good chest workout though, maybe iddnt get teh intesnte pumps but my reps were lower using bands alot on bench and hammer strength presses so hat could be why, we will see what soreness tomorrow brings haha probably only about 3 servings left of MM....will be posting a final review shortly,,, great stuff!

 

[mkretz]

so the chest workout was prett good, the bands got me lol, chest was pretty sore today, sitll got a sick back workout in , very focused, godo contractiosn and used the bands on sum hammer strength row machines, felt real nice, also using good form on 1 arm DB rows kills me , i swear i sweat more doin those than deads

 

[mkretz]

today was an arm day....started offwith banded towel bench 4 sets of 6 then a couple heavy singles jsut to see what i could do, def. not a max but felt good to move some heavier weights.

then i did Rev. banded close grip smith bench presses, normally i dotn feel CG presse smuch in my tris but toay was an exception, great pumps the whoel workout, even working in the 8-10 rep range on these, i was really feelin it in my tris

next was decline skull crushers , 4 sets 8-10 last set was a drop with presses as well

then i did a different superset for me, 3 sets of vbar pushdown ss with bench dips, this relaly pumped up teh tris

lastly for tris i did DB overhead ext. but woulnt go nearly as heavy as normal, tris were def. shot, form was perfect thogh, all the way down fora good stretch

for bis i started off with sumthign ery different..... i did 4 sets of 5 negatives which was pretty tough, i have never really done negatives before i dont think, def. felt somedamage goin on haha

net was one of my new favorite exercises, banded hammer stength plate loaded curl.......the contraction at the top of the movement becasue of the band is un beatable, nothin like it! its liek a mix of a pump and a ripping feeling all at once, gota lvoe it! 4 sets of 10 for that!

next was lying cable str8 bar curl, 3 sets 10-12 then 3 sets incline curl 10-12 with a double drop on teh last set!

pumps were really good today, vascularity seemed more intense as well..... overall very good workout, my tris were shaking or a few hours after, which is not normal lol so i think i did good

 

[mkretz]

btw about .5 serving of MM left :-( final review will be up soon!
