Cary has a BLAST with NLA'S T-Blast

[Cary K]

Thanks to NLA Performance for sending me a bottle of their test booster, T-Blast. This will be the 1st supplement with DAA that I've used so I'm really looking forward to it! I will be taking the reccomended dosage of 6 capsules, split up taking 2 caps 3 times a day. I took my first dose this morning before going to the gym. I will update my measurements and before pics in a couple days. I had a death in the family over the weekend so I'm dealing with that at the moment. I wanted to start taking T-Blast right away so it will be flowing in my body good when I hit the gym HARD!

I'm looking forward to everyone who subs along and those who offer encouragement, advise, jokes, etc. I'm also looking for my regular followers, you know who you are

Day 7 - Back and Biceps
BACK
Hammer Strength Iso-lateral Low Row: 45x10 45/25x10 45/35x10 2-45x10
Lat Pulldown: 125x10 140x10 155x6

BICEPS

Standing Alternate Curls: 25x10 30x10 35x10
Reverse Curls: 40x10 50x10 60x6
Standing Hammer Curls: 50x6 55x6 60x5...2 deep on the big boy DB rack

**I picked up the 70# BB and it felt pretty light, when I got to 90, I had it in my mind that I was going to try all them (only goes to 110#). Had to cheat a bit to get the 100# up but I did 2 full curls (no cheating) and for the 110#, I cheated a little to get the 1 rep but I didn't swing my back too much though. If I want to go higher in weight, I'm now going to have to go to a regular olympic barbell and start putting plates on it!!!!
BLOWING $HIT UP :head:

Day 8 - Chest and Abs
CHEST
Smith Bench: 135x10 155x10 185x5 205x3 225x1 235x1-PR*
Incline Bench: 135x5 140x5 145x3**
Cable Fly: 30x10 35x10 40x6
Incline Fly: 30x10 35x6

* Last week I tried 235 and almost got it all the way up. Today, I got it all the way including a full extension.
** Starting out with 135 on bench used to be only a dream a few months ago, but with some hard work and effort, its beginning to seem alot lighter. If I had a spotter, I could have done more!

ABS
[video=youtube;VJ0lHEd9Eyg]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJ0lHEd9Eyg[/video]
Starting at 2:25 til 3:05
I did each exercise 20 reps- 2 sets. I haven't done that in over a week, its going to be at least 1-2 times a week from now on adding a set and maybe more reps too.

Shoulders are a little achy the past few days but not too bad.
I am starting to notice more aggression both in the gym and in doing everyday tasks!!

Good job on the PR bro! Keep getting it bud

 

[Cary K]

Anyone have advice on what to take for my achy shoulders? I don't like taking ibuprofen 800 all the time for it

 

[Sean1332]

Rest. Screw ibuprofen. Is it your joints?

Check out Glucosamine supplements. They are good for joints and cartilage.

Ok, I'll look into them

 

[Cary K]

Left shoulder is still a little sore but not bad but I'm still gonna take the day off, just to be sure. Plus its my birthday :jester:
Will be back at it Friday for sure.

 

[Cary K]

Took a few days off due to the holiday. Was back at it this morning, hard & heavy!!
Day 14 - Chest and Cardio
CHEST
Hammer Strength Iso-Lat Wide Chest: 45x10 45/25x10 45/35x10 2-45x10 2-45/25x8

Cables: 30x10 35x10 40x10 45x10

Felt really good doing chest despite the days taken off. Still have some soreness in shoulder, especially my left one. Going to look into some joint support supplements for this. My left shoulder is the one that I completely tore the capsule off the bone, I think this is why it hurts the most.

Standing BB Curls superset with DB Curls: 45x10 ss 20x10 / 45x10 ss 20x10 / 55x10 ss 25x10 you would think that 20#DB would be light, but when superset with the BB curls....WOW
[video=youtube;5KwSAyG3nBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KwSAyG3nBE[/video]
