Getting Cheeky and Testy with intraTest Xtreme

[kingjameskjf]

Looks like someone is trying to hurt themself! Keep it up big guy!

It's working too!

Yesterday was the chestiness.

-Bench Press
I decided to see if I could get 315, like I used to before my last cut/contest prep where I lost a bit too much mass in the process. I got it up by myself for my second rep and then Andy helped me with some forced reps. It's getting there.

-Incline Bench Press

-Cable Flyes

-HS Chest Press

lots of sets yesterday so it looks like less but chest is sore so I'm happy. Afterwards I went hiking in the mountains with my wife and we did some random pictures and videos just goofing around and having fun.




Kinda lame but we were having fun!



Today I was kinda dragging so I took my intraTest Xtreme preworkout with Superpump Max, sour apple. The flavor combination was actually really good.

Legs today was simple. We did high sets again and only a few exercises.

-Leg Press on both Nautilus and Precor.
Went up to 810 pounds (18 plates)

-Hamstring Curls

-Calf Press

Tonight I have basketball again and will finish off my legs there.

Great update James. I hope to hit 315 by the end of my current run, high hopes! 18 plates on leg press is beast as well. It's a workout just loading and unloading all that weight!

[kingjameskjf]

Today for my pre-workout concoction I had intraTest (3 scoops) with 5g creatine mono, with 2g agmatine, and 2 servings of Opus. Flavor and mixing aside, the performance today was amazing! I did delts and then arms and my arms felt like they were going to burst.

-Overhead Press
6 sets

-Side Lateral Raises
4 or 5 sets

-Front Raises
5 sets

-Rear Delt
4 sets


on to arms

-Tricep rope pressdowns
supersetted with:
-Bicep Cable Drag Curls
did full stack on FreeMotion functional trainer for both
5 sets

-Nautilus Plate Loaded Bicep Curl
I really liked this one as it gave me a great ROM and was taxing. I was able to pyramid up to 80 lbs per arm for 3 reps on my last set. These were single arm only.
supersetted with:
-Nautilus Plate Loaded Tricep Extensions
This was pretty good too, but a little difficult to start because my arms were getting pretty swollen and I lacked the flexibility to get my arm back far enough for the start position, until I did some body shimmying to get into place but they worked it good to. Went up to 75 pounds per arm here but still finished with 9 reps so next time I'll increase it.

here's the pic:

It sure is. With all the PR's you've been hitting and the great progress you've been making, I think you just might get there!

Glad somebody like them! Just took another serving of intraTest Xtreme. I wish you guys offered more flavors of it, I'm digging the stuff so far. And Happy Thanksgiving to everybody.

[LiveToLift]

Holy swole bro!!!! Looking sick!

[kingjameskjf]

Holy swole bro!!!! Looking sick!

I'm trying!

[kingjameskjf]

Just got back from our local Turkey Bowl. First time I've played football in years. Like many years. I found that I'm more suited as a tight end because I did well with blocking and short passes. The longer passes...well, I know I can get them sometimes but not today! I traded my speed for mass it seems. It was fun though. Plus our team won and I got two touchdowns.

[kingjameskjf]

Today I started as a back day and then ended up turning it into a pleasure pack of everything.

-HS horizontal grip rows

-Underhand rows
this one felt nice today

-DB rows
did the heaviest this gym had, 120's. Took a vid of it. Take a look. Or else.




-Cable low rows
Went to the Y today and took my family, decent equipment, not great but enough to get things done. Unfortunately I maxed out several of the machines and cables there like this one.


Moving on to other things now.

Delts sounded good next.

-Barbell Overhead Press
one plate felt light today so I worked up to 185 lbs. I was able to get it for 6 reps for a lovely PR. Hey---I never said I was strong!

-Single arm lateral raises

-Rear Delt using cables


Good nuff. Moving on to chest.

-Incline Barbell Bench Press
135 felt ridiculously light today. This is unique because usually the barbell inclines usually don't feel very good on my shoulder, which I don't really have a problem with yet.
225 felt good. Better then expected.
245x4, but only 2 without any assistance at all. PR, yup, sad I know but I'm happy for it! My previous best is 240 but with DB's (120's).

since I was feeling stronger on those I decided to play with flat bench.

135x20
225xdunno, not near as many!
Then tried 315 again since I wanted to see if I could truly get it again without any help at all. Well, I got it 3 times, but alas, none by myself. Spotter said he barely helped on the first two but that still counts as assisted in my book so not quite back to where I used to be, but closing in on it.

Well I did all that so might as well do a little bit of legs as well.

-Single leg press

-HS Hamstring Curls with some forced reps at the end of each set.

-Leg Press
supersetted with
-Calf Press

-Abductors and adductors

ok, that's enough, I'm pooped now. Felt like I got a good workout in.

Took a preworkout with some agmatine and my intraTest Xtreme today and it seemed to work quite well for me.

Today I took my intraTest with superpump max, agmatine, and creatine. Felt good today.

-Incline Bench Press
on the smith with a higher then usual angle to change things up a bit

-Flat Bench Press
tried 315 again. that was my third attempt since last Monday. I couldn't tell exactly how close I was this time because even after telling my spotter to give me the weight between reps while trying not to kill myself, he still held onto the bar. I guess I didn't show enough confidence to let feel it would be safe for me or wise for him, lol! Maybe I should try it first thing in my workout next time.

-Cable Flyes
lots of them and in various positions

-Nautious Chest Press with parallel grip

did about 20 sets today and got a nice chest pump. later on today I met up with a friend from school who said I was looking huge. Gotta love those comments!
