You better eat up today after that cardio! You probably burned at least 1,000 Calories with all that.
Usually I burn between 600-900 on a moderate cardio day...But I was inspired today ! I shall feast on more clean food today haha. I am still trying to reach 145-150lbsYou better eat up today after that cardio! You probably burned at least 1,000 Calories with all that.
I know you are trying to bulk which is why I was surprised you would do so much intense cardio. You better get to eating and eating well!Usually I burn between 600-900 on a moderate cardio day...But I was inspired today ! I shall feast on more clean food today haha. I am still trying to reach 145-150lbs
Haha I plan on feasting with well over 3000 kCals bro! Thing is...I like cardio ! I was blessed with a quick and avid mind, sadly, like roses, it comes with some thorns...and that is the fact that it's never quiet nor steady, always thinking and pondering about my past and present...weighing my choices and impact on present and future times...Thus cardio is the only way I can get to shut it out far more than with lifting. You see in cardio I can deactivate everything and zoom out of the picture...just enjoy the breathing...the "release" feeling I get...People would think I get this when I lift since I love it so much, but it is quite the contrary...when I lift, my mind is even louder than my music every single time; even though I can focus perfectly in the gym, I have to dig deep in the most painful and atrocious memories I hold...the worst nightmares that haunt me, and the mistakes I can not forgive about myself...thus I get the power to lift. This is kind of enjoyable and taxing in some ways...and cardio has become the time when my mind "sleeps"...since I am haunted by night terrors, not even when I sleep do I get a break from my mind...so yeah haha cardio is a must for me like a treat!I know you are trying to bulk which is why I was surprised you would do so much intense cardio. You better get to eating and eating well!
Yes sir I actually made a Facebook status just for you today since you asked this questionGod damn it, I used my phone to upload yesterdays workout but it didn't send and I thought it did...third time it does this...
Tuesday, Aug. 21
OH Press Day! Quasi Deload week.
OH press:
45x5
65x5
85x5
95x5
95x5
Chest assistance:
DB bench press
50x18
50x16
50x16
50x16
50x20
Even though it is a deload week, and I am feeling famished form the past weeks...and the fact the I am training at sea-level and high humidity environment, I was able to get an awesome Chest Pump going and kept the endurance up and rested minimally for sets...Not an easy task with this humidity.
Back Strength assistance work:
Kroc Rows
70x20
70x20
70x20
70x20
70x20
What can I say, Prodigy and Pulling movements can be defined as a winning combo. I shine in pulling movements compared to the other weights in my repertoire.
Triceps Pushdowns:
110x20
110x20
110x20
110x20
110x20
Cardio:
25 minute run.
Amazing workout, managed to keep endurance up and push through the detrimental conditions of high humidity and nice a$$ parading around in the gym. Focus is still amazing and I have not yet build a tolerance for 1 scoop. It still hits hard and clean .
Todays workout:
Cardio, cardio and yeah...Cardio !
35 minutes HIIT in the Eliptical.
10 min warmup
12 sets of:
-30 second Sprint
-1 minute jog/walk for cooldown (Jogged was kept up until the 10th set, last 2 was a pure walk honestly)
1 minute of full all out madness.
6 minute cooldown jog.
kCals: Unknown due to HIIT and me forgetting to insert my weight.
Stair master:
25 minutes at high speed, 90 steps per minute.
Total cardio time: 60 minutes.
Post cardio Sauna:5 minutes, couldn't stand the heat any longer haha.
Prodigy notes:
I am beginning to question the abilities of Orchidlean and Caffeine together, for fat burning stimuli. I have been sweating like a pig-for-slaughter and have enjoyed my cardio and workouts vastly...this leads me to the assumption that Thermadex and Prodigy would be amazing for a good fatloss assault. If Chad or Ricky ever get around my log I would love to know if Orchidlean specifically has effects for thermogenesis and can be geared towards fat loss as a stim?
Fascinating! Another great reason to try Thermadex ! I can feel an amazing synergy of Bronkaid+Thermadex, 1 cap of each for 3 doses a day would equal Uber Win ! Innovation at its best, much respect for PNI Ricky . Chad is coming up with amazing things, and you are the perfect guy to promote it here!Yes sir I actually made a Facebook status just for you today since you asked this question
Orchidlean (TM) is a proprietary extract from orchids in the cymbidium and ophrys genera. The centerpiece of this blend is a highly-purified fraction from cymbidium goeringii, the "noble orchid", which has extremely potent vasodilator and diuretic properties. As a vasodilator, it ensures that the heat generated from those thermogenic stimulants and uncouplers can efficiently leave the body - so you won't experience any serious thermogenesis-related discomfort. As an unmatched diuretic, far above comparison to cheap and ineffective dandelion root extracts, it'll make sure that subcutaneous water doesn't obscure your new definition. This particular orchid extract has been used for thousands of years in China and the Himalayas as a diuretic and vasodilator, and feedback from our testers has been unanimously positive. This 'auxillary' ingredient (in the sense that it doesn't directly promote fat-loss) makes a world of difference, and elevates Thermodex to new heights of effectiveness.

Quoted the wrong sexy beast, it's ok, he is almost as good looking as I am so the mistake is understandable.That's really deep man! I wish I loved cardio. I love lifting weights but not doing cardio. Cardio is like punishment to me!
Whoops! You guys both kind of got my head spinning here in the early afternoon and it wasn't the sexy factor. You are over here expressing your love for cardio with some deep poetry and Howwedo is hitting me with too much science for this time of day. I was sitting here thinking "Is this real life?". Guess I shouldn't have missed that dose of Focus XT....Quoted the wrong sexy beast, it's ok, he is almost as good looking as I am so the mistake is understandable.

Damn dude, you're under 145? You look biggerUsually I burn between 600-900 on a moderate cardio day...But I was inspired today ! I shall feast on more clean food today haha. I am still trying to reach 145-150lbs
Thanks for the compliment my friend .Damn dude, you're under 145? You look bigger
I plan to get to 150, trim some fat (mainly health concerns, not aesthetics much...My genetic load from my mother's side is a bit dangerous) and then bulk up again. I got a 5-year-from-now goal to reach 155lbs with 8% BF and be able to Dead Lift at least 405lbs and Squat around 325lbs, bench can stay at 225~lbs haha, OH should be at least 175lbs. I know it seems unreal, but I plan to give it my all, if in 5 years i am not like this, I'll make it a 10 year goal and so on and so forth .my question for you my dear friend, is why do you want to stay at such a low weight. I know you're towards the end of the height spectrum but 150 is still low?
its great that you such a deep understanding of your future goals. The first step if acheiving your goal is setting one!I plan to get to 150, trim some fat (mainly health concerns, not aesthetics much...My genetic load from my mother's side is a bit dangerous) and then bulk up again.

I just wanna set them as real and achievable as possible. Not asking too much but not limiting the ambition .its great that you such a deep understanding of your future goals. The first step if acheiving your goal is setting one!
Amazing Looking forward to it Chad! But for the record, up until now I have been sweating a lot more since I started taking Prodigy, I have been tempted to take 1 Bronkaid along with 1 scoop ! But I'll do so when I am running Prodigy under my own budget ! This is a log to prove its amazing effectiveness for a better workout! And it has shone so far!!Prodigy notes:

There is ample clinical data to support the use of Orchidlean as a vasodilator, but no direct data to support its use as a thermogenic. Yet, with that said, we have tested this ingredient very extensively, and we feel certain that it is a reasonably powerful thermogenic. We believe that the active components in the extract are probably vasodilators via activation of TRPV1 receptors (like capsaicin and evodiamine). This is perhaps the most likely mechanism behind Orchidlean-induced thermogenesis.
We plan on testing this hypothesis via clinical studies in the near future

I thought we talked about the girlfriend thing and decided a girl that was into supps was a no no. Can't have someone raiding your stash.The fishies arrive around 6:45-7am by the time I am finishing working out :/...(Unless it is a lower body day...I can sometimes take longer on these, specially Squat day X_X)
I have been told a lot lately...that I should get a gf though...if she knows supplement science, is hot, works out, knows nutrition, is single, can lift properly, looks strong and beautiful...heck I'll marry her, but there's not many women like that
And you are the best brother a guy could ask for Ricky thanks for always supporting me and being there for me my friend. I can honestly tell you if it wasn't for all the sincere, scientifically and emotional support you give me, I would not be getting this kind of results that fast. So that PR goes for both of us brother! And this month of September I'm pulling 315 for us bro!Damn congrats on the PR!!!! Your strength is climbing like a boss! You Are pound for pound the strongest guy I know broski

Notes:
Calf vascularity has been more noticeable indeed, not to mention my lasting for cardio and higher rep realms has also gotten better. I feel a bit weaker here, but it is due to the fact that I am at sea level, with high humidity and not-deloading...Yet I am able to push through my workouts and complete them thanks to the clean energy I am getting from Prodigy.
I can actually say to all certainty Prodigy is playing a huge part in this, since last time I was here at my parents beach house; I trained horribly...and I was using a Third Dimension pre-workout, the original formula though. No matter, I was having even 3 scoops and could not last even more than 2-3 sets per exercise, and my training was the easy bodybuilding split and not a Strength Training routine :blink:, with all honesty I can tell you guys 1 scoop Prodigy has made the world of difference in my energy levels and endurance at the gym this week . Very pleased and thankful I got a chance to log it!
I agree with it being thermogenic. I've never sweated like I did on Prodigy.
I wondered the same thing too lol I was like da fuk haha
