No, never tried them. I have a bunch of designer whey I got cheap ($5 per 2lb tub cause it was close dated) and I normally keep syntrax nectar lemonade and muscle milk light chocolate peanutbutter as treat protein, with ATW or ON as primary proteins I'd use muscle milk all the time if it wasn't for the horrifying macros.

my shoulder is still hurting from thursday, can't quite make up my mind workout wise whether to stick with the whole body routine and go extra light on shoulder, or to switch to another routine now and at least that way the shoulder gets more chance to rest, maybe do a back and bis day

A guy I used to work with drank rootbeer float Muscle-Milk everyday and did not work out. His gut got so HUGE within 6 weeks. I think he forgot to read the part that said MCTs are favored as fuel during exercise or activity.

decided to try and see if my shoulder felt well enough to finish out one last week of full body...

squats 145x19
widegrip pulldows 170x8, 170x7, x170x6
chest supported rows 70x7, 70x6, 70x6
incline press 70x6, 70x5, 70x5 - interestingly it wasnt the shoulder that hurt, it was the wrists, yay
incline fly 10x12, 10x12 - I need to get a set of powerblocks
vertical row 50x6,50x6,50x6
bent over lateral ext 10x8, 10x8, 10x7
preacher curl 25x8, 25x7,25x7
standing triceps ext superset with ez curl 53x10-53x10, 53x10-53x9

shoulder still feels weird, but not exactly painful. a decent workout, I may go back and do another set of squats at something lighter like 90, or maybe lying curls. its nice to have the setup in the house

[crader]

Glad to hear the shoulders getting better!

[EasyEJL]

I'm ready to stop these squats already and move to a more normal routine. whole body workouts are for young people I think

squats 90x10 as warmup, 145x8 and fail. just didn't have it in me
widegrip lat pulldown 170x8,170x6, 170x6
db row 56x10, 56x10
decline press 70x15, 70x9 freakin shoulder pain
db fly supersetted with squeeze press 10x10-10x10, 10x10-10x10
front raise superset with lateral ext 10x12-10x12, 10x12-10x9 - elbow pain, sucks to get old
ez curls superset with standing tricep extension superduperset with pushups 63x8-63x6-10, 63x8-63x5-9, 63x12 (to fail)-63x5-6

and at least the ending of the workout was nice. Not sure what happened on squats. I thought the 90lb warmup would help but it seems to have hurt instead.

Just a tip, but do an even lighter warm-up set for Squats. Maybe 70 pounds. And then jump up to your work sets. You'll be warmed-up sufficiently but still have plenty in the tank for the real stuff!! I read you stepped up the dosage to 5 caps per day. You are gonna notice a big difference over these next 3 to 5 days. Keep up the good work Easy, and thanks for every shred of knowledge and advice I've received from you. U DA MAN!!

I think too my stomach felt a little off this morning, which surely doesn't help with squats. probably will try a lighter set of warmups next time, just I had left the 45s on it from the last time and figured "lemee try with that". so far I was just doing 20 bodyweight squats plus stretches as warmup, that worked better

I've received plenty of stares in my gym of me warming up for Squats. I used just the emtpy olympic bar (45 lbs.) and then worked up to 495 lbs. for sets of 5 reps. I love light warm-ups to put me in the proper groove!!

[EasyEJL]

for a set of 5, I can probably hit around 400 to parallel, but probably only 200 a2g. my knees suck, or the tendons between kneecap + quads to.

[EasyEJL]

did 30 min on the arctrainer at ridiculous heart rates, I hit 196 at least for a while. left my chest strap home so just had to use the handles and they work like crap, almost never get a reading. did a bit of decline crunches + leg lifts before and after as well.

Also did some attempts at dragon flags, actually managed 5 of them with not completely horrible form for the first time trying them. I'll keep working on them, they are kinda cool

What are dragon flags?

[crader]

The dragon flags are awesome. They really work that core!

[EasyEJL]

I had to drop all the way to bench each time, but it was slow controlled negatives like this

[metroba]

Easy was doin these?...dayum

Edit: beat me to it!

Double edit: DAMN I GOTTA TRY THESE!!

[EasyEJL]

it was a slooooow roll up, so legs came up first and then hips followed after the legs were partway up, but the downward was a clean controlled negative

[hman85]

Looks painful I'll have to try them.

[EasyEJL]

this one is even better, its much easier to start like this

[metroba]

Yeah that does look a little better to start off with. I love that hes wearing Chucks

[hman85]

I feel the burn already!
