Stuck with all supplements except Alphamine, I chose to use another thermo to see if I would react the same(and because I left it in my truck and was just too lazy to go out and get it). Was good.... I may have just Ben dehydrated from the night before... Dunno. Regardless I took this morning off to experiment.

[Budman7811]

Today all worked out. Used Alphamine with VersA1, peak400, concret, and AlphaT2.... No issues, I must have had other issues Tuesday.

You're putting in serious work with these sessions Budman! Keep killing it!

[Budman7811]

Thanks man... I really seem to be moving the weights easier. I've been wanting to max out and hit some PRs but I don't feel like asking people. I am waiting til the wife is there or the guy I work with.

That's awesome man. Progress is always great for keeping motivation high. Yeah, I don't ask for a spot very often either. Some people are too quick to jump in and help, while others just stand there lol. If you don't feel like waiting, I'd look for someone that knows what they're doing in the gym. I doubt they would mind helping you out.

Yeah I've asked a couple of times. I just hate bothering people

I'm the same way lol. I'm always worried they will want to chat it up after. Either way def improvements are being made bud. The volume and intensity is top notch. Keep it up!

[TheMovement]

Good stuff man, so in your opinion what affects can one expect to gain from PRIME and do you recommend stacking it with?

In my experience your best bet, if you can find one, is an older guy wearing the old school lifting clown pants/pajama pants. Those guys are pretty much guaranteed to have been in the game for a while and to know how to properly spot bench and squat.

If you are unsure of a new spotter, you can always take my approach and take 5 minutes before your set to instruct them on how they should spot you, then between sets critique their spotting and suggest ways to improve it for the next set.

Nice progress so far Budman. Good to see you're enjoying this!

[Budman7811]

Prime = full/dense looking. I would definitely use this product to gain size, bulking. Stacking with the versa1 was good, need a good test booster, a night time ZMA or HGHbooster, and anything for recovery because once you start growing that soreness is goin to remind you your human!

[TheMovement]

Thanks man! I will begin my lean bulk in mid july so i cant wait

[Budman7811]

Still here guys, little needed vaca. Today first day of training for race. Wife and I are gonna lay off alcohol and focus, so here we go. I am going to research some before we dedicate ourselves to a routine. Gonna have to be a strength and endurance program in order for us to finish the race. It's an obstacles course that's about 5-7 miles. Should be interesting.

[Budman7811]

Haven't found the right training method yet so gonna keep looking. Until I am able to pick one I am just gonna try and strengthen up. My wife out did me in the cardio department .... 55min on treadmill is not my cup of tea. Core is probably gonna be the main focus.

Nice job getting in a solid session, despite not feeling 100%!

Thanks, I need to figure out how to combine the exercises to get the best gains. I try couple push and couple pull. I most the time just look around gym and pick stuff out. I've just been lazy and haven't look around enough to pick a good routine.

Thanks I'm only on secondary but it still ruins my weekends.

Looks like a solid back session man. Low volume can be quite effective with a higher intensity.


There's a button in the reply box to embed videos (I think it looks like a film strip), but I'm on my phone and can't see it currently.

[Budman7811]

Here's the link I guess when I he to the house I will try to embed it.

Solid workouts as usual budman!!

What do your rest periods currently look like? The reason I ask is there is a dude at my gym who is training for the sane sort of race.

His weight routine is similar to most of ours but I between sets on leg day and one other day he jumps on the treadmill and does HIIT or straight jogging for 5 mins or so.

I think this would help you get ready for this race. So instead of doing cardio after weights throw it in between working sets.

Just a thought bud keep killing it and have a great 4th

[Budman7811]

Truthfully I barely rest... Normally long enough to input my weight/reps then walking over to get heavier weights or going from area to area. I might have 30sec between sets. When I was doing 5x5x5 wasn't really any rest, just in between when adding weight.

I need to get my cardio back up, lately I've been trying to get strong. I've given up on a six pack stomach (my diet is not prefect). I am just gonna push my self and keep going up on weights and wort about that six pack in a few years.

[Budman7811]

Looking forward to legs today, gotta work off last nights smorgasbord

[Budman7811]

Got some cardio in. Legs will be hurting, I'm sure of it. It is hard to explain but as I stood on treadmill loading my workout parameters my legs started tightening up ... Not cramping more radiating burning sensations, it was weird. Probably shock ....
