Piston Honda Blows Up on I-Force's Hemavol + Compete! (sponsored)

[Loudy Rowdy]

Used my handy I-Force lifting straps today for the first time. Even gave traditional deadlifts another shot today after I swore off them previously in another log of mine. Boy did those straps come in handy!

Deadlifts: 205 x 8, 275 x 6 305 x 3 (PR),3,3 (couldn't break past this plateau!) 255 x 6
Stiff-legged deadlifts 205 x 8,8,7,6,5

Today was just a strict hamstring / deadlift day to get accustomed to the wraps and the correct motions. Still got in over a good half hour of exercise, so I'm happy with that. Will probably either do chest at the gym tomorrow or my shoulder rehab day, what with a Sabres afternoon game on Sunday and the Super Bowl after that.

Continuing my 1.5 scoops pre of Hemavol, and a scoop pre and intra of Compete. Tasty and effective!

Who you have for the Super Bowl? Ravens for this guy...

As I was explaining to my team a few days ago, I finally had my first stim free workout (on stim break)... Hemavol + Compete really surprised this recovering stim addict. Recovery and endurance is where it really shines..

I think the 49ers could surprise people tomorrow. I just don't think the Ravens are that good, exciting, or easy to root for. A lot of people up my way don't want to see a guy like Ray Lewis win again. But then again, the Bills are our team so maybe it's envy of anyone in the playoffs.

I gotta tell you, this stack makes stims irrelevant. Focus is the key, whereas stims make you get too wired to pay attention to what you're doing. The recovery has been awesome so far, agreed!

I've dreaded taking stim breaks in the past, but the introduction of that Hemavol + Compete stack has really made fear it less.

Good looking log in here, sorry I'm so late to the party!

You're forgiven!

Today was my shoulder rehab day at the gym. Weird thing at the beginning: two Russian kids speaking (yelling?) Russian to nobody in particular. They weren't looking at each other so they couldn't have been talking to each other, and I'm not so sure they even had a bluetooth headset. Crazy moon language.

External cable rotations

215 x 9

Swiss ball "Ts" and "Ys' with 5 lb weights
Music: "Hallowed be Thy Name" - Machine Head

Barbell rows

225/5, 225/5, 185/6, 135/6

Longest workout of the week and still had energy at the end. Pushed myself hard in each set, and truthfully, I've been pushing myself to the limit of exhaustion ever since taking the stack. Can't say I've done that consistently with a single product or stack before.

Nice work Honda! What is the rehab for?

Nice work Honda! What is the rehab for?

Rotator cuff injuries I suffered back in high school. Got tired of the nagging lingering pain and impingement over the course of 17 years so I got some PT in October for a few months. Quality of life was suffering so I had to do something. Waking up to a frozen shoulder or the feeling of ice picks in my muscles got old real quick!

Nice work in here bro!keep it up!

I see what you did there..

Today was a combo of some DTP-style leg presses on the machine and goblet squats afterward for flexibility and maintaining the pump. Legs were swollen and actually a bit tight around the knees from the pressing movements so I actually had to wait a bit for the DTP pump to subside before I could do the goblet squats! That and some deep kneading of the muscle around the affected area. Also did some lunge steps throwing a 20 lb medicine ball against the wall from my core. No music to update for today, lot of students milling around and I wanted to navigate through them as easily as possible without running into them. No update tomorrow as the fiancee and I are off to our wedding tasting to finalize our wedding menu. 4.5 months until the big day!

Be sure to take some Hemavol before the wedding to look nice and pumped in that tux.

Hemavol + Tropinol for the wedding night!
