Perfect, I am definitely after the v taper! How are things with you Cam?

[wasme]

Keep it up bud

Thanks, I think the Anabeta Elite is kicking right in as I am noticing some of the same things from my previous stack, just heightened with the addition of Licogenix, Formula X and Endosurge instead of Prime..

I learned it from aback specialization program on M&S.. Lol.

Was just looking for it, is it the one by Sean Sullivan? Five day plan with individual days for thickness/width. Not sure if I am allowed to post a link to it on here..

[Colbicide]

Good to see the strength going up. Keep at it!

And I agree with Ched, take a week off and go back and kill it. Sometimes it's all you need to break through a minor plateau.

Good luck!

Felt realy good most of the day yesterday. My workout was great, and my run felt like it was over right after it started (I like that as I dont enjoy cardio all that much). Strength seemed good - a few more reps on a few exercises. And recovery from previous workout was on par with how this stack has been. I feel fully recovered within a day or two. I am also noticing that my knee pain isn't lasting as long when it flares up.

Have a hectic week coming up, work early all week and then kids have all kinds of functions in the evenings.. But I will ensure I get all my workouts in and up on here.

Have a good Sunday guys..

Your knee do ok with those squats? My left knee's been giving me trouble the last few weeks - had to ease things up on it for a while.

No, between the leg extension/lunges and especially squats yesterday - had some issue going up stairs. Today though just a little sore. I changed my rep range from 4x8 to more a 5x5 to really try to push more weight. That probably wasn't the smartest move.

Don't forget you also ran a 5k after the leg workout.
