My Goals
For those that don't know, I plan on making my stage debut next fall. Therefore during this off season (from now until I think I need to start cutting/prepping) I will be trying to put on as much lean mass as possible while keeping the bf at a minimum. I know its inevitable to put on some bf while bulking, but with the hopes of clean bulking, I am looking at putting on some good quality weight. I am also wanting to bring up a lot of my weak points (back, arms, legs, insert others here). Doing so I will be training 5 days a week. However, on the 5th day I will be more than likely hitting one of my weak points that was hit on Monday up again with a different variety of lifts in hopes of bringing everything up. I will be performing ab work every other day and forearm work every other day that I don't do abs. Cardio will be kept at a minimum but I will still do some sparingly and light jogs here and there to keep everything in check.

Since I have so many of my workouts up in my journey and with the Iron Mulisha, I won't bother posting each workout, but rather just highlights and experiences from the workout and from the products. If you really want to know the nitty gritty about what I did throughout the whole workout, then please check out my other logs or journey or just PM me and I will let ya know. I am hoping to also increase my strength on this stack as well and look forward to seeing some great results.

My previous experiences with Animal Test/Stak lead me to recomp my body while putting on some lean mass and dropping inches off my waist. My strength also went through the roof as well and I literally felt like Venom off of Spider Man. I am hoping to double this effect by running it for 42 days nonstop.

I put this up in the sponsored supp section, because some of the products I won through various promos, i.e. the leg workout to get 2 cans of stak and the favorite animal/universal product for a can of test. All the others, I had to pinch pennies and purchase, but it will be well worth it.

Thanks for all your support.


Additional Information.
I have been running this log over at another forum and am going to transport as much of it as I can over here. I will be posting and updating as much as possible. Currently, I just finished my first can of test/stak and will be posting up measurements/progress pictures very soon. I am digging the supps.

Day One.
Workout Highlights: Today was Chest/ Triceps (One Exercise) / Abs.
-Set a PR on incline BB bench of 245x5
-Did some rest pauses on Incline BB to really finish my pecs off
-Did some negatives with DB flat bench
-Cable Crossovers felt great; Decline flys were a great contraction; Dips were decent.. a lil down I just did BW on these but hey I am coming back from a week long vacation.
-Triceps, just felt super huge during the rope pressdowns.. did 6 amazing sets here with an incredible arm pump.
-Abs, I originally aimed to do 1K reps on abs, 200 reps of 5 exercises, however after 20 minutes and barely able to move, I only completed 500 quality reps of the 5 exercises (100 each). I opted to just be done as oppose to sacrifice form/quality to get the other 500. Gonna havta work my way up to these

Impressions:
-Today I just had an insane mind/muscle connection... the pump was unbelievable.
-I flexed my chest inbetween sets and it was just full of blood. Felt amazing.
-I nearly choked to death trying to swallow both Nitro and Stak at the same time pre workout. Seriously its a lot of pills.
-Diet was pretty strong today... Real Gains (Strawberry) tastes amazing BTW... had a lil trouble mixing it up as it kept clumping up... argh.

Day Two & Three.
Workout Highlights: Legs (Day 2) / Back (Day 3)
-I felt like utter ass today after getting a tetanus shot and the Nurse telling me I was going to feel light headed, woozy, upset stomach... **** I paid that no mind I'm an Animal right? WRONG... on the 4th set of squats I about fell over. Was re-damn-diculous.... was so damn naucious feeling... I puked in my mouth during a superset of lunges and straight leg deads. I didn't wanna lose the supps, so I just swallowed it back down. Afterwards, I laid in the floor and just had to take a breather for about ten minutes. Stupid tetanus vaccine...
-Did some work on squats with my feet together to try and bring up my outer sweep and did a lot of ATG. Did one semi heavy set and then went right back to ATG and feet together.

-Was drenched in sweat and could barely catch my breath...
-My arm is sore as **** now from where I got that shot...hoping to feel better for tomorrow.

Impressions:
-Today was just utter ass.. I grinded the workout just by my sheer testicular fortitude. Was hard as hell to finish, I scrapped leg presses and opted for lying leg curls and leg extensions. I was surprised I did as much as I did.
-I still say Nitro has a **** ton of pills LMAO...
-I argued with the Nurse about getting the shot because she kept telling me to stop flexing and tensing my arm... I really wasn't it was just lying there which is what I kept trying to tell her...argh.
-This should be the last hoop I have to jump through before I start school on the 25th.

-Today was a lot better than yesterday tetanus fiasco. Felt good and focused in there.
-Despite the short quick and to the point workout I was drenched in sweat and pounding away at the weights. I just went from one set to the other...
-Good mind/muscle connection...
-Got the nitro down no problem...
-I am loving being able to mix the green apple torrent with the cherry... good stuff.
-Also love being able to mix banana and strawberry real gains..
-Today's diet was more shakes due to not having time to prepare food (the girls in town)... but I feel I am still getting my quality cals from 2 real gains shakes. No worries....
-I am gonna continue takin the supps on the weekends (off days) but with only one gallon of water as opposed to the 2 that I normally drink on training days. I'll do a weekend update this Sunday and let ya know how things have gone.
-Behave.

-I am keeping track of all the calz I get in today so I will have a rough total of where I stand at the end of today as well.
-Had people staring at me during the workout.
-My training partner said I blasted 335 easily. He didn't think I was going to be able to get it due to how slow I brought it down but he said I just exploded up with it.

PRs -- Goals
-Bench: 320 / Got 335 today... (365 "hopefully by end of year"... 405 "long term")
-Squat: ~530/540 ... Wanna pop 'em lower by the end of the year and increase on 'em... long term 600.

Day 7.
Workout Highlights: Back/Bis
-Pullups I felt a lot stronger today.. my partner commented on my V shape during these.
-Rack pulls.. got a PR for reps with 405... pulled 455 a lot better than the first time I did it... and attempted 495.. I moved it maybe an inch LOL... something to work towards.
-Did old school prison style v bar BB rows... Felt incredible.. haven't done these in like 4 or 5 months and they were just awesome.. got another comment on my back "said I looked wide and thick"
-Using the various diff grips on pull ups and lat pulldowns really hit my back from different angles.. loving it. In this same sense the straight bar bb curls at different grips really pumped my bis up.

Impressions:
-Supps all went down easy.. I have now gotten use to taking nitro.

[King Con]

Day 14.
Workout Highlights: Chest
-Man my tris are still not fully recovered from Friday's arm day. I don't know if this is the increased soreness/DOMS from the test finally starting to kick in or if I just murdered the tris. Either way it made today's chest session a little tougher.

-Woke up earlier today and got it done. Don't feel as rushed today but I am hoping to go to bed earlier tonight providing I don't have an insane amount of reading.
-Today's diet will be a lot of oats & protein. Sucks b/c I ran out of eggs so I will be doing shakes for about 3 to 4 of the meals due to time constraints and being in class. At least I know I am getting in the quality cals.
-I am already becoming "that guy" as I get weird looks shaking up my shakes and carrying my gallon jug with me.

[King Con]

Day 15.
Workout Highlights: Wheels/ Abs
-For the first time in awhile I felt like I was actually working my hams. I focused on the contractions with my quads, hams, calves, etc.

[youtube]NxjNvepsae4[/youtube]

Impressions:
-Drenched in sweat again.
-I think the aggression is kicking in (bout damn time) as I had a road rage incident with a guy that ran a stop sign and jumped bout 10 sec in front of my car on the way home; I blasted the horn; he slowed down to piss me off further; I passed him flipping the bird... but then again I am prone to the road rage anyway.
-Looong day again with school and so forth. So far so good. I feel good and just feel sore. Got a good labor day coming up though.
-That is all...

[King Con]

Day 17.
Workout Highlights: Arms/Abs
-Yes, I whisper to my arms to grow each time I lift. I also entice 'em with proverbial sayings
-I also superset the piss out of my arms with bis/tris.
-First superset was CGBP with BB Curls... banged out 225 for 3 sets of 10 on CG and used the normal different hand positions on BB curls. Insane pump.
-Next superset was Hammer Curls, V-Bar Pushdowns, and a new variation of tricep pushdowns. Strict form on Hammers, Added a 45 lb plate to the stack on V-Bars and my tris were insane on the new variation. Hard to describe it, but the new form is like the same handle used on low cable rows, just used with your knuckles facing each other and a pushdown all the way and stop at 90 degrees and push back down. Almost like a full extension/pushdown...insane on the ol' horse shoe.
-Last superset was Scott Curls, Incline Skulls, OH Rope Extensions... scott curls are always hell, incline skulls went well...felt more focus on my tris than normal... OH ropes... oh yeah!
-Abs just superset some hanging knee raises with decline situps...focused on the contractions.

Impressions:
-Covered in sweat.
-Aggression is up I believe. Alpha maleness is up as well as I just feel super Alpha. Hard to describe, but you know when you got it. Hard to miss.
-Great focus/energy...
-I am going to be taking my supps with me on this brief vacation and will be changing up my routine as well next week. I'll lay it out for everyone. Also doing the big weigh in monday morning and prob gonna snag some more photos.

-I had a great time at the lake...rode a lot of jet skis.. got up to 60 mph on one haha... got a lot of rest... some good country cooking... and just relaxed. Was a good time for all...even saw some good football games.
-Started up a new routine today... I will be employing a push, pull, legs type program... where I lift for 2 days off 1 day, 2 days on, weekend off, 2 days on, 1 day off... and so forth. Will look like, pull, push, off, legs, pull, off off, push, legs off pull push off off etc. Should be hitting it up nicely with a lot of rest to build it up.
-I will be hitting abs, calves, forearms and light cardio as needed.
-I did 30 min of light walking on a steep incline today for blood flow and b/c I ate a lil less than ideal over the holidays but damn it was good.
-For the pull day, I focused on my one power move, Deadlifts... got my 10 reps of 375 very smooth, controlled, and easier than I expected. I believe this is a PR for reps for this amount of weight. Not sure. Hoping to get 405 like that soon. Guess that means I go up in weight next time
-Focused on hyper trophy with bo bb rows; some bicep curls; hammer curls; and lat pulldowns. I had an insane pump in my arms, forearms, and back. Almost unbelievable.

-Did some flat bb bench work for my set of 10...only managed 8 reps...gonna get the 10 next time fo sure.
-Did some DB shoulder work right afterwards...
Then DB side raises and then CGBP... CG was hard as **** doing it this late in the workout...none the less I prevailed.
