The Phoenix/Dark Knight/Countrylifter Rises

1lbs per day? dayum. 16 flexed is nice, im about that with a pump but 15 cold. Hmm ive always thought it was a PH? I talked to a LG rep about taking it when i was 19 and he said no way. Arent you taking a PC for it though? Im still racing you to 190 but i think you have a slight advantage with your natural size.


You like the feet up approach for hypertrophy bench?

Funny thing was I was up 1 pound, but I had an empty stomach other than some water, I lifted at 1. I had only had a small bowl of yogurt and granola (like 2/3 cup) and a glass of milk all day. Had a big speech I had to give, something like 20% of my grade...

Nah I just double checked its not a PH, but it acts a lot like one. I have take PCT for it before, but I haven't ordered it yet. I will prob be ordering it when I order my next tub of protein. I like to spread my purchases out so I tell myself I'm not spending too much $. lol

Eh, you have a headstart on me and you are actually eating to bulk... It should be fairly even.

I like the feet up for that reason, but also to take the pressure off of my lowerback. I cramp bad in my hips sometimes as well. I can't really bridge up at all in my back.

Thats when you KNOW the weight is solid haha. I love mid noon workouts! Hmmmm im intrigued, i guess the rep was just an idiot. I may look into this in a few months! I wonder what would be good to stack it with??

Im eating to bulk and your putting on a pound a day

Lol, I dunno. It's doesn't contain any precursors to anything crazy, I don't know the technical definition of a PH by the letter, all I know is it works, I have only ever seen 1 or 2 cases of light suppression among thousands of users, and it works for me.

I like to workout around 4.

I once stacked ghenerate and IGH1 with natadrol followed with formadrol, and it was insane. That was almost 3 years ago now I think? wow. time flies.

Eh, day to day gains don't count for much. I have been gaining around 1 -2 pounds per week if that. I need to start upping my food intake.

Nice how much did you gain from that?

[Sean1332]

I'm buyin this stuff haha you got me excited

[CountryLiftin]

I like it alot. If you look around you will see others feel the same.

Nice how much did you gain from that?

10-15 pounds, 120 lbs deadlift max, a big jump in squat, and 30 pounds or so onto my bench max. Stayed lean and fast too. I was running a 4.5 40 time. Deadlifted 315 for 31 reps at a powerman competition (using a trap bar, not barbell). Literally felt like I could take on anyone and anything. I ate around 6-7k cals a day and worked my ass off, and I was in lifting about 1.5 years steadily when I started the stack. I was making some novice gains but they weren't as easy as the 30 pounds were, lol. I was a scrawny 150 pounder, I think I weighed 145 my sophmore year of hs in the fall. By that same time a year later I was 190, and had to cut hard for track season. lol.

Fawwwwwwkkkkk that's sick! You got me thinking haha I bet you were beast before track season bro

I lifted through track season, I couldn't choose just one. Sprinting and lifting are my great loves... love hate relationship there though. Long story. After I hurt my back I just bulked and benched and got to 202 and a 315 bench but couldn't touch legs or low back lol...

[CountryLiftin]

Any of you guys into vehicles? other hobbies?

I'm swapping a ford 8.8 axle into my jeep wrangler at the moment and just started tearing down the new axle. Working on this kinda stuff is actually a pretty good workout. Axle weighs like 150 pounds easy... lol.

i used to be into tuning and i had a jeep crawler that me and my buddy shared and we worked on that thing every single weekend lol that 8.8 is solid but the 44s are nice cause if you snap one you just go get another off the lot haha

Haha, I just wanted to get fat

That's pretty sweet what happened to it?


I have at least 5 8.8s in the yard down the road from me that I can pull shafts from at 25 bucks a pop... plus the odds I brake a shaft on an 8.8 are slim to none with the setup I'll be running.

The axle shaft strength tested by Warn Ind:
F8.8= 6,500 (lb. ft.)
D44= 4,600-5,000 (lb. ft.)
D35C= 4,000-4,300 (lb. ft.)
-------------------------------
COT: Continuous output torque rating
MOT: Maximum output torque rating

(Numbers from January edition of Fourwheeler, page 60.)
Dana 35 rear axle COT: 870 MOT: 3480
Dana 44 rear axle COT: 1100 MOT: 4460
Ford 8.8 31spline COT: 1360 MOT: 5100
Dana60 semifloat COT: 1500 MOT: 5500]


Basically the 8.8 shafts are 30-40% stronger than d44 shafts. and over 50% stronger than d35 (current axle).

[y0lked]

yea if you brake an 8.8 you know your doing pushing the **** out of your rig! 8.8s are nice cause you really never have to worry about them snapping. thats are sick stats though

Yep, between last night and tonight I got it all torn down, ready to cut the brackets off:

I have been studying, eating, lifting, studying, then adding in the axle work on the weekends lol.

I forgot my gym closes at 2 today, but I am sore as hell, esp my lower back, so I will take an off day. legs, arms, and chest are all still sore, along with the lower back. So I don't think I really needed the workout haha. I might hit abs tonight just for the hell of it.

Max legal tire size in PA is 37s, so the 8.8 will be fine. I am trying to decide between a hp30 front, hp44 (same weakspot at the 760 u joints in the axle shafts when upgraded) or going to something even bigger. I have a locker in the d30 already, so I figure if I can find a hp30 w/4.10s, I can swap the locker over, beef up the shafts and u joints and unit bearings, gusset the C's and sleeve the axle, It should hold up to 37s.

[CountryLiftin]

Feel like trash... Too much coffee and studying for finals and not enough sleep. Lol. Thts my excuse at least. Doing back but not getting very far...

[CountryLiftin]

Well the workout did end up okay. I got home and forgot to eat then worked outside cutting some brackets off then studied. Ate a ton of pizza then... Lol. So much for a diet. I drank about 5 cups of skim milk though so that helped some I'm sure. Was super hungry today at lunch. So I take that as a good sign. Gona try legs today but hold back on the weight and try and go for 10-12 reps. I am thinking 225 for a warm up set and then 275 for 3 sets as many as I can get. Shoot for 10-12.

Do some alternating BB lunges, hack squat leg press. Left tendon under my left knee has felt weird lately.

Writing a short research paper on SI joint dysfunction which is what I have. Kind of interesting.

[y0lked]

How did the workout go?

[CountryLiftin]

Legs were good. Hacked 135x7,7 in smith til the rack opened up. Squat 135x7 225x12 275x12,10 250x 10

Bb lunge 115x7. Felt like my pelvis was dangling from my spine so stopped. Idk if it was just going to. Them from squats or what. Then I did 225 hack squat x12. Showed my buddies how to do a power clean/push press/ front squat super rep. And get form right. Then did leg press 225x20 315x15. Weight was 176.

Good energy in the gym despite feeling bad. I am gona try and do chest today. I have a big day tomorrow with 2 final papers bio lab practical test and a human chem exam. I should be fine though.

[y0lked]

Solid numbers! Making me need to push harder on squats myself. You have better classes than I do!

Thanks man I have been pushing legs real hard. The food available to me at school is killing me though it's all packed with so much garbage my body doesn't like it.

Freshman pT student has it's perks I guess. Lol.

Today was chest.

Bench 135x7. 185x3. 225x8,7,7(spot last rep) 135x16 with legs up.

Rest of workout was super sets.

Db bench ss w/ dips.

Flat 80s x 12 +12 dips. Incline 80s x7 plus 10 dips. Decline 80s x 10 plus 7 dips.

Machine flys ss w/ under grip bench.

130x7/7
135x6,115x8

I was dead at the end. Bench was strong. Good day.

Weight at 176. I feel good.

Still have that pinch in my rhomboid I hve had for 6 weeks or so. And my right neck is tight. Cervical spine likes to pop and crack and gets sore. I'm trying to avoid popping it so it heals.

[CountryLiftin]

Back is sore AF today, oh well. Going to do a sorta of full body/core day instead of taking a rest day. I believe I just aced my final bio lab practical of the year so I need to blow off some steam before I sit down and study for my chem exam in 3.5 hours. Hopefully work out the kinks in my back and just get the blood flowing and relax. Not the kind of day for a PR.
