More Pumps than a Gas Station- Formutech Volatile Log

[drewsicle3210]

Sat: shopped for our vacation longer than I wanted.

Then a buddy brought a bunch of food over for a cookout. Never made it to gym. Over ate and over drank!

It happens. Sounds like you had a good time though. That is all that matters

 

[cubsfan815]

We were discussing the same thing. I haven't owned a bicycle since I was a kid.

Lol ditto

Me neither, but like they say it's like riding a bike. Felt like it had only been a week, not half my life since I rode. My wife on the other hand is super scared of cars, falling, etc.

 

[cubsfan815]

Yeah I had an overall really great weekend. I ate mexican food and drank Friday night, Drank a lot and ate like mofo Saturday, had a great workout(hungover) Sunday and woke up weighing less than I did last Thursday!! Thanks ABE lol

 

[cubsfan815]

Sunday: Woke up with headache feeling really really blah. Ran downstairs and drank 4 20oz bottles of water lol.

Wanted to workout fasted, but I had to eat before taking all my supps.

Pre: 1.5 Scoops Volatile <--- Felt so nice kicking in, made me forget about hangover
2 ABE

Tried to keep rest below 60secs on most sets

Incline DB Press 5x10 50lbs

Incline DB Flys 3x10 35lbs nice and light to get a real good stretch

Hitting a PR while hungover =

After workout my wife decided she wanted new shrubs put in front of house. Had to dig 2 huge holes in 88 degree weather. Put down 8 bags of mulch as well.

2 hours later we had a Severe storm with 70+MPH winds, blew my new mulch all over house, pushed my trampoline(with cinder blocks about 20 feet, broke a few planters. We lucked out though the older established part of subdivision lost full size tree limbs, and I saw a wooden playhouse that was demolished.

Notes: Volatile and Endurance helped pick me up from my loooong night
- The pump in my chest and tris was sick!! There was a cop in there working out, and he kept eyeballing me
- Strength is still going up

Monday: No workout sore from Chest/Tri and yardwork

Tuesday Morning: Fasted Cardio

Woke up at 5:15 am
Pre: 1.5 scoops Alphamine
Intra 1 scoop Endurance

25 mins elliptical
4 sets of 20-30 jump rope

Tonight will prob be Back/Bi. I really want to see if I can alternating curl the 75s or 80s, however I may not press my luck sine I'm less than 3 weeks from Vacation.

Only 25 days until I leave for North Carolina. I have some new shirts that I bought a little tight. Somehow in the next 3 weeks I need to drop some fat fast!!

 

[cubsfan815]

Good thing I got some cardio in yesterday morning.

Some trees that I ordered came in, so I had to skip gym to go pick them up. I did get some work in lol. The Bluce Spruce Globe had to weigh about 200lbs and the Weeping Norway Spruce about 150lbs lol. I had to keep picking them up loading and unloading. Some dead lift work haha

I am planting them this weekend along with some other shrubs. I'm thinking that I will still workout in the mornings over the weekend, and just use the planting as whole body exercises. My wife thinks that's dumb, and I'll get too sore.

wow, putting in the work! sorry to see youre running low on Endurance AND Volatile!!

Lol me too. It will give me time to finish some tubs of less favorites, then after vacation I'll be able to place an order. Hopefully Orange Volatile will be out!

I still have quite a few workouts worth of Volatile for log I think though. So we are good

my favorite moment:

 

[cubsfan815]

Memorial Day Weekend:

Didn't get any gym workouts in, but I did do a lot of cardio working in yard.

Starting pic, notice the lovely yard at the foreclosed house behind me.

Lots of digging, and carrying boulders! Full body workout lol

Trees that were planted also:

The company I bought them from installed these. I'm not that strong lol

More boulders

to carry!


Also planted 2 new spireas in the front.

Lots of Endurance was consumed. None left for my workouts this week, major bummer!

This week I have a lot of volume to catch up one, Volatile will be consumed big time!!!

I know how it goes to put the work off lol. That area in the back has sat for over 2 years as just a dirt pile. It was dirt that was moved when we made our tub/patio area:

 

[cubsfan815]

Tuesday:

Was still really sore from all the yard work, but I needed to get back to gym. Took it kinda easy

Pre: 1.5 Scoops Volatile... Felt like it had been forever, tasted great, kicked in right away
2 OG Anabeta

Notes: After not using Volatile for a handful of days, I forgot just how much pump I get from it
-All sets were done with as little rest as possible
-Vacation in 15 days, not sure what type of routine I want to run when I get back

 

[bheslop]

How is the anabeta working for you?

 

[cubsfan815]

How is the anabeta working for you?

I love Anabeta. One of my favorite supps. I just finished up 5 weeks ABE, and had an OG bottle laying around. I always get good strength increase, dense/full muscles, and amazing pump.

The pumps I have getting from the Volatile mixed with Anabeta have been unreal lol.

 

[cubsfan815]

Weds:

Early morning Fasted cardio

Woke up, took 1 scoop Volatile because I was going to do some light leg work. Then I realized I didn't leave myself enough time.

Popped 1 AT2 and 1 scoop Alphamine

Wow! That may have been a bit much for me, since I'm stim sensitive.

Drove to gym extremely focused.

Elliptical 25 mins. Had to stop a few times because heart was racing, felt good overall though.
Finished with some jump rope to see if I would die haha

[soul0wner]

I'd love to run ABE, but I can't come up with 100 for 2 bottles and I don't even know if Versa is working for me, haha. I'm just going to stick with the nutrition and training and see whatever logs I can snag.

Versa-1 is very very sneaky. I thought it was doing nothing. Once I thought about it, it does give me an amazing mind/muscle connection. I can feel every rep, and can do real slow negatives as if it was my job. Also my strength is a lot better than with ABE alone.

Look in the auction for ABE, I got my last bottle $40 shipped. Or snag 2 bottles of OG, and 2 bottles of Forskolin 95

I could do the second part, I was going to get regular anabeta but I wasn't sure. I'm thinking whenever I can bulk finally I will run that stuff.

[drewsicle3210]

Man, i love storms. I use to go to the beach on an unnamed substance during hurricane warnings. Before the army of course

 

[cubsfan815]

Yeah me too. It dropped about 20 degrees in 10 minutes. Small tornado about 50 miles from us. It was pretty calm storm by time it got here though.

Should have gone to gym

 

[cubsfan815]

Will try to update this weekend.

Hit another PR tonight, 90lb DB curl. The trainer that was there to bump it for me, said it was too light, and that I should try 100lb.
