Wow, so the past couple of weeks have been very hectic. I only had one workout last week which consisted of...
Monday 7/7/14
Pre Workout 2AM/5X-Gels/2ABE
Intra per usual
20 100m sprints, These were rough and the ultimate test of the stacks ability to either boost athletic activity or hinder it via pumps or nausea. Even when i was nearly at mental failure i was able to drive all the way through the end. Because they group sprints they were timed so everyone had something to push for, my time stayed consistent until about 16 or 17 were it fell by 1-2 sec each sprint lol. It was brutal, then we played ultimate frisbee for a sort of cool down.
On Wed i stopped the stack all together, i started to break out on my face and i felt really fatigued waking up in the morning, probably because i was not lifting or putting a demand on body at all physically. I recovered sleep got a whole lot better, my face quickly started clearing up and mood improved. The cortisol suppresion in the morning makes it so hard for me to wake up in the morning, i am going to try taking AM in the mid morning after i am awake and then hours before i go to bed. When i came off there was no massive retention of water, nothing crazy at all.
Today started again, felt like i never left lol
Pre workout
2AM/5X-GELS/2ABE/2JTF
OHP
Barx5
95x5
Work sets
145x1
165x1
180x2 PR! I have never touched 180 in the OHP, so this was awesome, the heavy dumbbell work and heavy standing abs are to thank for this one!!....stack doesn't hurt
Warm up
75x7
DB press immediate super set to pushups, 12DB press 12 pushups, 17, 25
This was done with little to no rest i used 60's (good thing i did)
My first set of pushups was surprisingly hard i could barely complete 12 unbroken lol. The following sets were struggled through get 3-5 reps at a time taking 2-3 breaths and going back at it. Because i am military there is a high value on muscle endurance and conditioning, so my routines will reflect more of that. A guy in the gym said he was tired watching me lol, i did not have enough breath to respond and the pump....stupendous lol.
Incline runs 20secs on 20secs off @10% incline

Treadmill pushes (Brutal)
Now when i heard about these i was kinda skeptical about their effectiveness, then i did some research and they talked about them EliteFTS. Supposed to be just like sled pushes.
15secs sprint 45 secs rest and i needed every bit of it! 10 rds!
5rds then 2mins 30secs rest then the remaining 5rds
Quads were on fire and even with the rest i was dripping sweat, amazing workout! There will be way more of this!
