Welcome to the madness....For those who haven't followed my logs before, my name is Punthra and i'm a sponsored athlete for Anabolic Innovations. I'm 5'11 and 242 pounds (I kind of porked out a little to much this weekend...LOL!). I prefer to lift as heavy as possible while using a wide variety of training methods. I'm thankful right now that i have a good group of training partners to help me smash some serious weight.

Enough about me, on to the supplements i'll be using:

MOTIVATE:*motivation in a pill
*crash free energy
* increase alertness
Dosing: I intend to take take motivate first thing in the morning (2 pills) and an 2 hours before my workout (2 pills), which is at 5pm.


MANIAC! *Insane Muscle Pumps
*Explosive Strength
*Extreme Energy
*Prolong Endurance
I will be taking anywhere from 2 to 4 scoops on any given training day. It will be taken anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes before a workout


RECOVERPRO: *4:1:1 Ratio BCAA
*Faster Recovery
*Lean Muscle Gains
I'll be taking this immediately after my workout and occasionally throughout the day as i feel it is needed. The dosing for me is 3 scoops due to weighing over 180lbs

Along with these supplements i'll also be taking beta-alanine, a multi vitamin, omega 3*6*9, and glucosamine & chondroiton.


Here's last weeks workout to give you an idea of what to expect from my workouts....

BACK

Old School T-Bar Rows 100x8 / 145x8 / 190x8 / 235x8

Smith Machine Bent Over Rows 135x10 / 205x10 / 275x10 / 345x6 (Really liked these due to being able to just concentrate on rowing but nothing beats the regular barbell row)

Decline Twisted Dumbbell Rows 40x10 / 50x10 / 60x8 (Absolutely love the squeeze and pump from this exercise)

Notes:
- pump was amazing with the combination of Maniac! and RecoverPro! I took them together at the beginning of my workout.
- enjoyed the smith rows but nothing will replace good old barbell rows
- trained on my own today as i was a little stressed out and need to blow off some steam

Notes:
- my training partners have been pushing as hard as possible (beat them on the upright row by a good 80lbs), which means i should see a good return in my gains
- Motivate kept me going through this workout, without any crash afterwards
- don't really enjoy the taste of Recoverpro, but it is working as my recovery has been great

First off i'm a little stunned at how throttled i felt after yesterdays workout. I didn't get all my exercises done but my legs were trashed. Calves were done on their own seperate day this week.

Legs

Leg Press 200x6 / 400x6 / 600x6 / 800x6 / 1000x6 / 1200x6 (This felt awesome but my legs were shaking like jelly during this set)

Dumbbell Deadlifts (Bent low to drive more with my legs) 100x10 / 130x8 /160x7

Leg Extensions (Triple Drops) (Set 1) 285x10 / 245x7 / 205x9
(Set 2) 285x7 / 245x5 / 205x10

Notes:
- never felt so beat up after such a short workout
- quads were cramping and feel just trashed today
- really enjoyed the dumbbell deadlifts as it pulled at the hams and back at a different angle
- Leg pump was absolutely rediculous!

Back from vacation... Man all this heavy lifting and personal records people are getting makes me a little sad that I can't get PR's as I am having a hard time getting my strength back. I am still about 60 lbs off on bench. Squats who knows as I am just starting back in to back squats and I will have to ease into it. Deads, too many injuries over the years and I am doing them raw now so if I can work them back to the mid 400's that would be good. Isolated lifts I seem to be ok on.

Thanks guys, you making me blush...LOL! Training has been just great now that i have some solid training partners pushing me to my limits everytime i come in. Also keep in mind that that i've been having to go harder and harder as my one partner is geared up right now and is getting stronger very quickly. My other partner is 260lbs and has a huge chest and very powerful triceps. Between the two of them, they definitely keep challenged and working my hardest.

Great workout. Using any stim in this type of heat you really need to be careful and drink plenty of water.

haha i didnt know large men blushed?

But x2 on the praises. Those workouts are truly things of beauty. Im missing my old lift buddies as well. I was the runt of the group but i got some amazing lifts just trying to keep up with those beasts. Ah the good ol' days. Now i lift by myself and its not the same by any means.

As good as that sounds, I am glad I don't have that kind of push as I know I would end up in the hospital or something. That would be the end of my good sense. I am just holding it together as it is...

Lol agreed my friend, but to have someone with around the same age and slightly stronger is amazing. I had that in Iraq, and really miss the push. Not to mention a spotter

In my 20's I did have that push not anymore. I hurt myself a few times back then being stupid. I would probably kill myself now.
