BETA - 03 Tipping the Balance

[kenpoengineer]

Agree. Missing my Creatrona.

Chest Day 5/3/1. Coming back from a left shoulder issue. Thought maybe it was rotator cuff related but it seems to be healing with 3 weeks of no chest pressing lifts. Antaeus Achilles really helped with healing. Still taking it.

16 oz of water with dose today = less stomach acid feeling.

Arms Day. Took Max Pump with about 4 oz of my protein shake. A lot less stomach discomfort. Nothing else with it so as not to taint test. I'm missing my Creatrona though!

Red flushed abs again with tingling but no pump. Anyone else craving carbs like it's going out of style?! I WANT carbs! Side note: my BP is normally 116/67. This morning after workout it was 130/78. I'm going to start tracking this.

Question for you to ponder, are you possibly shortening your in between set rest periods due to feeling more recovered more quickly? This would be a sign of the ATP system being really kicked up a notch. If so it would also explain a rise in BP due to increased intensity via shorter rest periods.

I train with a HR monitor. There is definitely faster recovery between sets compared to my "normal" with using Max Pump. The BP reading was taken 1 hour after workout. I'm going to monitor BP and HR for the next week. Nothing conclusive with just 1 reading.

[MrKleen73]

Got ya, I have never trained with a HR monitor. I typically don't check the ones while doing my cardio they always want me to slow down. SHEESH I am doing cardio baby not aerobics!

[kenpoengineer]

I'm a nerd (engineer) and the HR monitor lets me know when I've recovered enough to do the next set. Funny sometimes I'm feeling "not ready" and the HR says "next". Lol

Got that chest pump going today! No flushing and BP was normal 122/81 after workout. HR monitor is telling me that less rest is required between sets. Max Pump has something in it that helps with recovery.

Boxer's Workout Day. Speed bag, heavy bag and crunches.

This is my second cardio workout with Max Pump. Red flushing in abs today but no pump.

Some observations:
Since starting this beta I've had great sleeping patterns. Anything in here for sleep, I wonder.

Stomach discomfort only lasts about 5 mins now. Still taking it in empty stomach with 16 oz water.

DOMS is almost none existent.

Recovery between sets continues to decrease. Almost makes me feel like I'm not putting in enough reps.

I can't wait to see what's in this Max Pump.

[3clipseGT]

Awesome workouts thus far. Gotta love increased recovery and endurance.
