Natty's MST recovery log

[NattyForLife]

First off, I would like to thank the people at MST for giving me this chance to log their recovery drink. I will be taking 1 scoop postworkout for the next 29 days. I took my first scoop post shoulders today. Stay tuned for a great log! Well im sitting at around 220, and im currently cutting right now. I will post up diet and macros tomorrow. Tomorrow is hammies. I can get some before pics if anyone is interested.

Okay today as said above i worked shoulders, traps, forearms and a little abs! Shoulders consisted of:

DB RD fly
Facepulls
Cable high row
DB side raises
Single arm over head press
Smith shrugs
Cable behind the back shrugs
Prone incline shrugs

Ok macros are currently set up as 320g protein, 199g CHO, and 107g fat....total calorie is ~3050calories.

Today worked hamstrings....

SLDL
Lying ham curls
Low cable pullthroughs
Single leg lying leg curl
Also hit some hip strengthening exercises such as hip flexion, ext, and abd.

So far, im really liking this recovery supp....only complaint is the foam. It foams a little while shaking in my shaker cup! Not bad, but just a little worse than other supps ive had before!

 

[jwa254]

Thanks for the honest feedback!

 

[NattyForLife]

Off day today, so i didnt take my recovery drink! Tomorrow will be hitting back/biceps

 

[jwa254]

Taste is decent! It reminds me of something ive taken before, but i cant pinpoint it!

Yesterdays back and bi workout was:

WG lat pulldown SS w/cable pullovers
Another pulldown variation which consisted of sitting on an incline bench under a pulley and pulling down. Essentially its a incline bench pulldown.
HS high row pulldown(ive never found an exercise to squeeze my lats so hard other than this one) will get a vid next back day!
HS low row machine
Twin cable row
RD delt fly machine
Prone incline db row

For biceps
St. Alt db curls
Cable curls
Rope hammer curls
Db spyder curls

Then hit some forearms for about 10 minutes. So far really liking the recovery drink. I seem to be not being as sore as usual!'

Will be hitting some chest and tris tonight

 

[NattyForLife]

Hit some chest and tris this evening! Took my recovery drink right after the gym, then came home and ate a meal! Weighing in at ~220 atm(have no idea on bodyfat) i would say somewhere around 20%.....who knows though! Im looking to be pretty lean around 200lb. Hopefully will be around 200 in about 14-18 weeks! I plan on losing aabout a pound a week. Maybe a hair more. It sucks that i store the majority of my fat in my low abs and oblique/low back are! I HATE IT! I am 5'11" also!

Post chest/tri pump!

Chest: flies for pre-exhaustion
DB incline press
HS incline press
Reverse BB bench

Tri rope ext
Db skullcrusher
Cable pushdowns

Stretching was done between sets of chest lifts for about 15-20 secs a piece.

Then hit abs for about ten minutes.

 

[NattyForLife]

Off day today!

Quick question, what are your macros going to be like over the next 14-18 weeks?
