Sounds like me. Everyday of the week I work different hours and shifts....

I've been like a robot with work, diet, and training for a while. It's definitely gonna be a change of pace. My biggest concern is figuring out what and when I'll be eating to get in all the calories...that and trying to get more than 4 hours of sleep. It's only two weeks and then I'll be back at my desk on repeat everyday. Another plus is that my pasty looking ass can get a tan.

Day 14

Sundays are always an off day for me. However, shortly after waking up a couple things made me change my mind. The biggest factor was that I felt like my workout recovery had stepped up quite a bit. I normally lounge around on Sunday getting over all the aches and pains from the week of workouts. This morning there was a noticeable difference in the condition of my body compared to Sundays past. What sealed the deal on hitting the gym was that I'm starting an extra job tomorrow and don't know how its going to play out yet. Now I can take tomorrow off and figure out the best routine going forward after seeing what the work situation is like.

This morning I did my usual Monday workout of chest and tricep focused exercises. There was some progress made, but I have a feeling that my BB bench lifts took a little hit on potential progress from limited rest. I think the close/reverse grip bench from Friday could've been a factor. Either way, strength was still up, and with some repeat exercises a decent amount. Endurance was also pretty high and I had to force myself to leave the gym.

All supplements were taken on schedule. The yogurt worked to prevent any issues with the first dose of FS XR and 3 caps of Slinshot were taken before a 150g carb breakfast.

I'm happy with the way things are shaping up at this point. It seems like D-pol and Recycle have started giving me an edge in the gym. I really don't think I could've performed at this level without rest otherwise.

I'll be spending the rest of the day putting together a plan for the upcoming week. I want to avoid my new schedule impacting my end results from the stack. I'll be pressed for time, but the gym and necessary calorie consumption are going to happen regardless.

Awesome #s.
I didn't do nearly as much volume as you today, but my strength is creeping up.

Thanks man. I wasn't sure what to expect without my normal amount of rest.

Good to hear your strength is up. I don't know about you, but that always keeps me motivated.

Trying to get big motivates me & looking good for these broads & trying to become a patrolman. That's it.

Sounds like some solid reasons to keep at it.

[Airborne42]

Lookin good my man! Keep at it. I like what I'm lookin forward too :-)

Thanks brother! Yeah the last couple workouts I feel like I had some extra gas in the tank. Strength has been solid, I'm not getting as tired, and workout recovery is picking up. I'm pretty fired up for these next couple weeks.

Day 15

No gym today. I'm tying to slam down the calories early because I'm shooting for a minimum of 6500-7000 today. I woke up, had 2 FS XR, then 4 Slinshot for a 1900 calorie 235g carb breakfast. I got creative with a trough of extra calorie filled proatmeal. I can really feel the Slinshot helping out at 4 caps. Muscle fullness is high and I have zero bloat. Normally I wouldn't be able to move after such a meal. I'll be spending the day getting plenty of cardio, and I'm interested to see just how much. I should have a better idea of my new target calories and when I can consume them by the end of the day.

My weight was 201.4lbs (+2.4lbs overall) this morning. I think I might be holding some extra water, but I'm still looking fairly lean. As far as I can tell I haven't added any fat. I'm curious to see how my new routine is going to effect weight and body composition.

[LiveToLift]

Dude that calorie intake daily and in a single sitting is insane! I'm excited to try that slinshot big time! Everyone is loving it so far!

Yeah I'm not sure how much time I'll have to eat during the day so I want to get off to a good start. Slinshot is great. It helped out this morning big time.

I'll probably have to up the daily cals...especially on gym days.

[Airborne42]

How u liking the 4 Slins?

[breezy11]

How u liking the 4 Slins?

Today was the first time I tried 4 and I thought it worked great. I had a monster meal with no bloat and muscles have been feeling full all day.

[AaronJP1]

4 caps is where it's at. Next time with 235g of carbs try 5-6 caps if u can afford too. 2 caps of SLINshot is good for 75g of carbs.

Yeah. Sure enough you'll be tapping into yours.
I order SLINshot at least 1 or 2 bottles a month.
I usually always use 4 caps with a meal, 4 or 3. Been scaling back my carbs trying something new it seems to helping.
Yeah SLINshot ranks up there as 1 of my favorite Purus products.

[breezy11]

4 caps is where it's at. Next time with 235g of carbs try 5-6 caps if u can afford too. 2 caps of SLINshot is good for 75g of carbs.

I'll be having a very similar breakfast tomorrow and will give it a shot. I think I "underdose" almost every time I use it. I'll make sure I use 2 caps per 75g tomorrow.

Day 15 continued

I ended up getting an 9 hour full body workout today. I thought I was going to be helping my buddy with lawncare on weekdays for the next couple weeks, but I guess that will only be half of each week. I spent the day shoveling stone into a wheelbarrow and pushing it about 30 yards on an incline. This was repeated from 8-5 with one 20 minute break. I took my second dose of FS XR during my break and it helped me push through the rest of the day. By the time I finished up my arms/legs were shot and I had an intense sunburn (farmer's). I have no idea how many calories I burned, but I think its more than I expected. I managed eat 6300 cals before I had to call it quits. I didn't realize I'm running out of food and need to save some for breakfast. Tomorrow I'll be back in the gym and will be looking to up the cals. Muscle Marinade is gonna have to come up big for me these next couple weeks. I'm very curious to see any changes on the scale over the next few days because I really don't know what to expect.
