Tutti Frutti- DMAA infused MESO LOG

[jaredmus]

First off HUUUGE shoutout to the APS/Hi tech reps for hooking this stuff up.
I have used most of the pre workouts under the sun, and just recently a few DMAA (dust extreme, god of rage, and MEso)
I have always liked mesomorph a lot and felt I sweat the most on this particular product, and have the least amount of... crash after.

Anyway Lets get this started off. Took my first scoop of Tutti frutti mesomorph today. It really does have the taste of that gum(haven't had it in years) but as your drinking it you get that same feeeling/taste in your mouth as the first few chews on some gum.
I like to take my pre workout about 20 minutes before I get to the gym , then I do about a 10 minute warm up.

Chest TODAY

60 degree incline Dumbell press- 110(7 reps)x4 sets
45 degree incline Barbell Bench- 205(8)225(8)x2 sets
Cable Crossover- 3 sets of 15
Incline dumbell fly- 40(12 reps)X2 sets
15 degree dumbell press-95(8)x2 Neutral grip

Banded Leverage machine press- 1pps(+orange elite fts bands) 3 sets of 12

Great pump felt like I could have kept going but had to get back and hit the books.
SO FAR == GREAT

I'm in for the Meso!

 

[LeanEngineer]

In on this! Meso is by far my fav pwo and the new flavor rocks.

 

[Brandinooooo]

Subbed. I take my pwo around 30 minute before my sessions. But with this it hits within 20.

I've found the same thing.

If you take some kind of carb powder with it pre workout like GlycoFuse, it lessens the harsh kick of it, but the focus still comes on strong.

Mighty impressive chesticles workout !!!

Thanks today's workout didn''t go as planned, I'm not one to make excuses but the past two days at work I had a foot post for a total of 17 hours. With all the equipment on it destroys your lower back and my hips.
My hips have always been tight, and until I either have an office job or a car without a partition I will need to be adjusting my training, more goblet squats and front squats and lunges and a lot less back squatting. My hips just aren't recovering between work and heavy squatting.

So went in today planning to do legs and my hips just couldn't warm up, did 275 x5 then 315x5 both paused to try to stretch the hips and it just wasn't happening. So I did about 15 sets of abs and stretched then came home. I have legit never done this before in my life, stopped mid workout but its not as much pain as it is extreme tightness. Everyone says stretch foam roll.... I AM Doing that but work is just taxing me like crazy

That's the majority of my leg workouts, goblet to start, then front squats, bulgarians, lunges, etc. I find that to be working really well and helps even out any strength imbalances

Tmrw going to start out with adductor and abductor, leg ext, leg curls,
Then do jeffersons- opens up the hips for me anyway, move on to some dumbell/barbell lunges and then finish with some CG machine leg press

and in my efforts to crush legs today, figured I'd show a video from about 3 years ago the last time I competed and my quads/hams were small compared to my glutes-- sadly three years later, glutes keep growing and quads and hams still lagging

[Epolis13]

It's a never ending process. When I was competing in figure they always used to tell us to bring our legs down, which made me mad. Keep pushing!

Really sweat it out on the run today. After all that and not a great night of sleep full day of work plus 1.5 hours of overtime, still no crash at 1am as I type this up.

 

[LeanEngineer]

Nice back workout. I think I still give the rocket popsicle and edge over tutti frutti. What do you think? Or have you tried rocket popsicle?

Tutti frutti is good but a little to sweet/artificial for my liking--- JUST LIKE THE GUM-- identical IMO , just to sweet for me. Icy Rocket popsicle is good I liked it better

 

[jaredmus]

Hip+ lower back tightness continues....


Had a super hard time warming up today and was one of my worst leg days in recent memories--

Squats- 365(5)375(5)X2
Leg Ext- 4 sets of 12
Single leg bulgarian squats- 60lb dumbell= sets of 10
Front smith machine squats 2pps 4 sets of 8 reps
Jeffersons- 3 sets of 10 (115lbs)

Then ran for 8 minutes--

NEW PLAN-- training hams harder and quads secondary. In the past 4 years my quads no matter how I train them, high rep low reps, To failure, 3x per week 1 x per week progress very slow. However I can always feel my hams and glutes. Past 4 months been training quads harder then glutes and hams. NOw time to reverse. Next few weeks will be very glute and ham dominated

Couldn't agree more with y'all. Rocket pop is better than Tutti Frutti in my opinion.

My favorite though is Pineapple!

just went to the DR. I will be taking 5-7 days off of weight training do to a hip/lower back strain. I will be doing the bike for about 20 minutes each day. Still using core test pre cardio. First Time I have been injured it some time.

Will be getting a final review of this up very shortly!

When I get back to training I need a more set plan and 5 days a week not 6. Time to back off a little. Layne Norton PHAT will be my go to. Have had success multiple times in the past
