Getting INSANE PUMPS with VOLATILE!!

[kernsbak84]

DAY 1 with Volatile!

- Jump Squats: holding 15 lbs DB 4 sets x 6 reps
- Squats: 7 reps with 200 lbs, 5 reps with 220 lbs, 3 reps 230 lbs
- Back Extensions: 3 sets x 12 reps with 45 lbs plate
- MB Twists: 3 sets x 15 reps with 20 lbs MB
I had to cut it short because of work. I started dosage with the recommended one scoop with 8 oz of water. 25 minutes later I felt the pump, and once at the gym I didn't want to leave! The feeling I got from Volatile was a clean stimulated feeling with no jittery feeling or itching, and it is has down the best tasting pre-workout I have ever had!

- I am also competing in a 500 pushup challenge with the co-workers, at 180 about to win this with the help VOLATILE!

Yeah I have ventured moreso away from AB only exercises as well. If the program is built well, there shouldn't be a need for additional AB work haha.

Yeah. I mean unless you really want to add a lot of mass to them.

 

[FUBARMD]

Yeah. I mean unless you really want to add a lot of mass to them.

I have decent mass there for my weight/height just trying to make them 'Pop' more. Getting cut obliques has been a challenge

If I have any fat at all that's where it sits. I'd have to be under 8% to have cut obliques

Do you cut for summer?

 

[TheSwanks]

Do you cut for summer?

Yeah trying to right now. I'm at 220lbs around 13% bf or so. I love food. Lol cutting sucks

 

[FUBARMD]

I am the same way. I was a huge carb-freak, as in eating a majority of carbs. Good for pumps but not for abs lol. I splurge a little on the weekends but keep stricter dieting during the week. Little to no alcohol either.

I found that cooking the food you eat definitely makes it easier to follow a stricter diet.

Absolutely right, cooking your own food is the only way to control everything. I totally quit drinking almost 2 years ago.

Nice! Once I read it increases estrogen and lowers test, I had a different view about it haha. In college I used to lift in the mornings and go out in the evenings(2x/week). No idea how I functioned/made the gains I did.

 

[kernsbak84]

FUBARMD that is the one and only. I did some with my hands and arms up in the air above my head extra burnage!

 

[kernsbak84]

Cutting does suck lol!

 

[FUBARMD]

FUBARMD that is the one and only. I did some with my hands and arms up in the air above my head extra burnage!

I remember the pain of those lol. Couldn't stop til my coach said so. The thing that could make it even more of a challenge would be holding a medicine ball up in the air as well.

 

[kernsbak84]

Oh yeah! Flutterkicks help develop hip flexors as wells as abs which help in running faster and going harder on footmarches such as 12 miles in 3 hours carrying 45lbs or more ruck!

The effect is minimal unless its binge drinking on a really regular basis
