First, huge shoutout and thanks to dsade for allowing me to give Strafe a run and see what it can do while doing a triple dose daily.

If you aren't familiar with what Strafe is, here is the link to the write-up:
http://anabolicminds.com/forum/evomuse/263582-evomuse-strafe-writeup.html

Dosing
First thing in the morning upon waking, post-workout, and pre bed.

Training
7 days a week with a split of:
Legs
Chest/Shoulders
Back/Calves
Chest/Shoulders/Abs
Legs/Arms/Calves
Back
Arms/Calves/Abs

Training is mainly consisting of Mountain Dog training. Workouts are very intense and painful. I put a lot of emphasis on feeling the movement and mind/muscle connection. So the ego part of lifting doesn't come out a whole lot. With that being said, don't get it twisted. The sessions are very detailed and consist of plenty of drop sets, rest-pause, super sets, and extreme stretching.

As for cardio, I will be doing 2-3 HIIT sessions a week while rotating in a few LISS sessions.

Things to note
Will be looking for:
Recovery/DOMS
Body composition
Lean body mass
Strength

Diet
Calories: 2900
Fats: 71 grams
Carbs: 348 grams
Protein: 218 grams

Currently in a gaining phase, so calories and macros will change.

This should be fun but painful :). Going to really push myself and see what can be done in the next ~25 days.

1 warm up of 30
4 working sets of 30, 25, 20, 15 and 10 band stretches

It literally took me for freakin ever to upload the videos from my Mac because Apple decided to make it extremely retarded and difficult to upload photos. It's 10x easy just to upload straight from my phone but easier to edit photos on computer.

Anyways, I am pretty sore this morning from yesterday's back session. All the deads and rack pulls did some damage on me.

Had an awesome workout though.

Definitely not something i would drink to quench a thirst on a hot summer's day, but if any of you have tasted things like HMB straight, you know that even getting this tolerable was a feat of magic. I think I did pretty well.

Got two new flavors coming that should also be pretty good.

Oh I believe you. I've tasted a good amount of non flavored ingredients and I can only imagine how hard it is to mask some of the taste.

Honestly bro its really good if you ask me. Yea its a little bitter, but nothing to complain about. I threw it in some vanilla protein and it made it delicious. Plus its not the same ol flavor

Honestly, I don't even like cantaloupe. But this is actually something that turned out so good that I enjoy it.

Still not gonna eat the fruit, though. This would make a pretty good Gatorade or intra flavor, IMO

Upset about no personal invite, but in nonetheless. :)

I like your training split by the way. What do macros typically look like for you nearing the end of a gaining phase?

Go ahead and neg me :)

Ya I've messed around with my split quite a bit and find this is what I respond to well and enjoy.

I'll more then likely get up to around 75-80 grams of fat, 400-450 carbs, and 220 protein.

Ok, from the bif man himself....

From the advanced options (go advanced) there should be an option to select video clip. Click on that and enter the youtube url.

Let's try this out...

Someone asked how to embed the video rather than simply linking out to it. Might have been that "other guy's" log.

what'a your dosage timing again?
Upon waking, post, pre-bed

Timing between dose 1 and 2 is about 5-7 hours and between 2 and 3 is about 5-6 hours.
