Great intensity today, felt strong, even though it was my last wo before my refeed. Strength increases noted on most lifts. Dosed trenadrol/epi pre- 60mg/10mg, post- 30mg/20mg. I wish I could have done more sets/weight with squats, as 295x5 was easy and I def. could have done more, however my lower back disagreed. This was my first attempt at squats in 3 weeks (trying to mend back), I felt it was safer to quite while I was ahead. I actually started taking BetaAla9 yesterday to start boosting carnosine levels and took 3 caps 30-45 min before wo, noticed mild tingles each time I dosed. Intra-Aid is some tasty sh*t, possibly the best tasting supp I have tried, it was delightful to sip on throughout my wo. I started with 20oz. water and refilled my shaker twice as it got down to half full.

[Hoomgar]

Ha ha! I love the taste to man. It's crazy how addictive the taste it. Off to a good start man. Take it easy on the low back though until it heals. I like me some reverse hyper extentions when that happens.

Ya, I might have take a longer break from squats, dammit. I may have to try the reverse hypers.

Just a quick update, I didn't lift today, had a lot of studying to do for finals. I've been taking my BA9 and feeling a little tingly each time I dose. Today was my first time trying Jacked! (needed a little boost for studies) and I must say I am absolutely impressed (and I only dosed 1 scoop). I will be starting Westside this week, but my schedule may be a little tweaked due to finals and I am unsure of my judo schedule.

Day 4
Workout (Upper Body ME):
BB Bench: wu, 225x3, 275x3, 295x1, 305x1, 315x3(PR)
OH BB Press: 155x7, 165x7, 195x9 (PR)
One arm DB skull crusher: 35x7, 40x10, 45x9
WG Pull-up: Body+35x10, 10, 8
Abs: 3 sets misc.

Todays workout went great, PRs on Bench and OH Press. Took my BA9 about 45 min before lifting, 1 scoop Jacked 30 min. pre, and sipped IA with 3g TCM intra. Had the usual mild tingles. I still need to get the feel for WS training, as some of my lifts were a little out of the rep range I was shooting for, but still a very productive session nonetheless.

edit: Realized I did 10 lbs more than I thought with my last set of OH press, so I changed the numbers to reflect this.

[King Con]

SUBBED. Down for the ride... nice work so far!

[Hoomgar]

Nice work man. Congrats on the PR's...

Congrats on PRs

[TOYFORDOLET]

I worked lower body today, I will update probably tomorrow night as I have a sh*t load of studying to do. Oh and I just realized I actually did more than I recorded on OH press in my last wo so I will edit my last post.

Day 5
Workout (Lower Body ME):
Leg Press: 450x3, 630x2, 620x3, 720x2, 810x3
Leg Curl; 130x7, 140x7, 150x8 (PR)
Leg Ext: 270x7, 280x7, 290x9 (PR)
DB Row: 90x7, 100x7, 105x6
BB Curl: 80x12(n), 80x10(w), 80x10(n)
Calf Ext: 340x15(w), 12(n), 10(w) (PR)
Back Ext: body+45x15, +60x15
Abs: 2 sets misc.

I'm a PR hitting machine! I think I was due for a change in routine. My strength is climbing and I felt great in the gym. I dislike leg press, I just don't feel it like I do squats but my choices are limited. My last set of leg press wasn't full ROM, I set the safetly stop a little higher than I meant to. BTW, this was yesterdays workout, I finished finals today.

[TOYFORDOLET]

Congrats on PRs

Thank you, good sir.

Good work man! It's cool to do partials on the heaviest sets man. Thats how you get your strength up and over time as your numbers climb it scrolls down until you are now doing those numbers that you did partials with in full ROM.

Progress is like climbing stairs my man.

Day 8
Workout (Upper Body Dynamic Effort):
BB Bench: 175x10x3 (rotated 3 grips) (30 sec rest interval)
BB Bench: 175x25 (lactic acid training)
Tri cable pulldown: 6 sets, 65 reps total (started @ 130 and ended @ 120) (1 min. rest int.)
DB Lateral raise: 25x15, 30x10 (90 sec rest)
WG pullup: body+35 x10, 10, 8 (2 min. rest)
Abs: 3 sets misc. laying
Burpees: 2 sets of 20

Another good wo. Intesity and focus was there throughout. Tingles a little more pronounced today. Tris were roasted after doing 65 reps (also pumped as hell). It did feel as though my LA threshold has improved, my muscles did not seem to sting as much as usual when I did the high rep bench set, though I have not done such a high rep set in quite some time. I did some fast/intense burpees at the end to help kill off any remaining glycogen to prepare for my refeed.

[Hoomgar]

This is how it's done man. Good work. Keep the pace...

What are your reasons for the lactic acid training?

[TOYFORDOLET]

What are your reasons for the lactic acid training?

I just started a Westside-style routine and I've been following a template like this: Sample Westside Barbell Template. Also, beta alanine is supposed to buffer LA so it couldn't hurt to do some training as so.

Day 10
Workout (Lower Body Dynamic Effort):
Squats: 5x205x2, 5x215x2 (45 sec. rest)(10 sets total)
Leg Ext: 190x25, 190x20 (90 sec.)
Leg Curl: 150x7, 160x7, 170x5 (PR) (90 sec.)
Back Ext:+45x20x2
Shrugs(Bi-Lateral Machine): 410x15x3
Calf Ext: 350x15(w), 15(n), 15(w) (PR)

Decided to do squats because its a light day and back felt ok. Still feeling pretty strong, set a couple PRs. It was tough to walk after the high rep leg extentions.
