The ACHILLES Heal of Snags...

[snagencyV2.0]

okay, let's catch up to date.

i decided to drop into my own routine for awhile, a 5x weekly/1-basic-muscle-group-per-day routine that i have used on/off for well over a decade now.
so, training (following my mini-break) has been:

WED - legs/calves
THUR - shoulders
FRI - back
SAT - arms/abs

off day tomorrow, then

MON chest/abs
TUE - off
repeat

that will be the basis for the next month..i have heavy days and also hi-rep days, and i will be using drop sets/negatives/speed reps and other fun tactics thruout as well. dietary intake will be slimmed down (slightly) as i harden things up just a bit, composition-wise.

so far - 3 doses in..nothing to report.

Headed to Troy...time to conquer!

Sweet label brotha!!!

i should mention - been using cissus q for ~25 days, 10 days prior to starting this log.
maybe that'll give me unique perspective on how this stacks up directly, as i've long been a fan of cissus....

some of these names, man..who comes up with this stuff?

heteropterys aphrodisiaca..makes me think of herpes
zingiber zerumbet (seriously?)
palitylethanolamide (gesundheit)
siegesbeckea orientalis (in some parts of the world saying this this may incite a fight to the death)

i love herbs, don't get me wrong. i've experienced first-hand some tremendous healing and progress with herbs, and have a favorable healthy respect.

the names man..they strike me humerous.

anyway - tho i won't continue to update daily, i will say i am sore as hell today..back, arms, did some chest today (dint feel like taking a day off, will tomorrow tho)..
no notable difference in joints to this point.

3 days and 6 doses in..
i'm beginning to sense some relief.
just a general lack of soreness and stiffness this morning upon rising - felt nice!

btw, weight ~202.5 upon rising.
taking Achilles with breakfast, and again at supper (2 caps per).

the 5th morning was the same as the 4th - less inflammation/aching in general, felt more loose - suggesting that what i felt day before was not a fluke.
did some legwork this day, DB lunges were included.

a sample leg day:
4x12/10/8/8 BB squats
4x12/10/8/8 DB lunges
3x 12 BB rdl's
3x15 leg extensions ss w/ leg curls
4x12-15 BB calf raises

rests are anywhere from 90sec to 120sec.
explosive form is used where applicable.

[snagencyV2.0]

okay....seriously excited this morning ladies & germs..

shoulder day, pumped up the volume a bit, weights moderate to heavy, rest periods 90sec thruout.
my L shoulder was on another plane today guys: better ROM, no stiffness, aaaaand --- REDUCED PAIN, i mean pain i'm used to cut in half at least.
was going to wait for the 1-week-in update to add more here, but i am pretty damn stoked about this.

1-WEEK REVIEW: couldn't ask for anything more in the first week of use with Achilles. started feeling some relief in my joints upon waking on the 4th day, and haven't looked back since. these past few days have seen me get some ROM back in my L shoulder, while also withstanding a brutal isolated shoulder pounding in training..my elbows, which had given me problems towards end of SEP/beginning of OCT then got better when i treated with CQ, then were feeling a lil tender again coming into this, are already pain-free.
(the only thing was today in training, i felt twinge in my R forearm..so we'll see how that goes)

the most impressive quality of this product in the early going - to me anyway - is the analgesic effect i'm getting.
at my age, you always seem to have lil nagging aches & pains; but (ultra-impressive here) the usual aches i get, i've not gotten..
it's awesome!

SUMMATION: again only 1 week in, but truly huge thumbs up to this point. looking forward to the rest of this, when i start throwing some real heavy iron around..

[bcazo]

nice review so far think I'm going to have to get some in my Black friday order

[AZMIDLYF]

Looking good for my purchase as well

maybe wednesday tho?

A Wednesday of 2017, maybe....

[snagencyV2.0]

come eat with me fellas....
one of my lean, smaller meals in my ever-alternating and shifting dietary scheme, muahuahuahahahhaaaaa.



and - this is where snag is at right now.




taking diet back to gain mode, keeping things extremely clean tho just in caloric excess..
i'm also going to be adding a hormonal product (or two) into the fray, more on that to come..
weights are going to be majority heavy weight/lower reps for awhile, tho i will still have some high rep days in just for change.

for now, supps are fairly basic.
multi
fish oil
preWO (sometimes), varies as to what i use, mainly been super pump max but i'm not partial to it, just got it at stupid cheap price for the product it is, had to pull the trigger..soon will switch over to Ignite2. i loved that stuff when i used it during the summer..
protein powders (of course) - mostly isolates but some blends as well. i also enjoy making my own blends/ratios.
Axon - but i'm coming off that now as i been on it awhile, current bottle is empty so time to break, loved that stuff btw, great experience thruout. big shout out to AL, these guys will be on the move if they keep churning out quality product like they have been. i have been impressed personally, in my albeit limited experience with product line.

anyway - update on product. Achilles is really the only thing that i'm using that is new, and i just have been feeling really good every day these past few days. both physically, and mentally. very refreshed.
very cool, had to mention.

Food pic = bolt re-entering thread.

Been popping the cissus pills lately but Achilles and other more comprehensive formulas have piqued my interest lately. Will be following this log more closely now.

Let's see you put antaeus labs achilles to the test! Can't wait for the week 2 review

[CATdiesel76]

Man sorry I was late on this but definitely in. Awesome week 1 results I am experiencing similar effects

[BigBlackGuy]

BTW your physique is absolutely mind blowing. What's your BF%, you have any idea?

[CATdiesel76]

Swoll as hell man. How would you compare axon to other stims? Been interested in trying it out for awhile but haven't gotten around to it. Got to get through my half gallon of clear shot first
