Can't Stay Small Forever - Animal Test Log

[Hollywood97]

My name is Ryan and here's some of my current stats and current max lifts:

Bodyweight: 181
Bench: 275
Squat: 335
Deadlift: 385

I won a can of Test on here by reppin' Animal so I held on to it till I could create the perfect stack. Here it is:

Pak - with breakfast
Test - meal before WO
Stak - 45 min before WO
Pump - 20 min before WO
Intr-Aid - during WO
Nitro - immediately after WO
Torrent - 20 min post-WO

Here's my split:

Monday - Legs
Tuesday - Chest/Bi's
Thursday - Back
Saturday - Shoulders/Tri's

I'm starting the stack today because I just can't bring myself to wait. Tomorrow will be my first day in the gym on this stack.

Feel free to post any questions or comments. This is gonna be fun!

Of course I'm doing 2 cans, is there any other way? Oh I'm eating big!!!! I never stop eating. I'd say about 80% clean.

So far I'm really liking this stack. Gains are great and I love the alpha feeling I'm starting to get. I just feel like I can't be stopped in the gym and that's a great feeling! I'm curious to see what I tip the scales at tonight.

I'm sad to say I missed legs yesterday due to some family issues. I will be hitting chest and Bi's tonight.

I will also look into getting some pics up in the near future.

i can remember feeling that way on this stack...
i just wanted to keep training and training and training!

i pretty much had to make myself leave the gym.
i knew i was probably over-training, so i tried to compensate by getting extra sleep and food.
