This will be a log that is just about my workouts. I like to post my workouts in a public place so that it holds me accountable. I will also post what I am taking at the moment and that will change. Note that if I get selected for a sponsored log, I will take a break and start a new thread for it, then come back at the end of it. I will weigh myself at the start of each month. Let's do this.

Can I recommend you do more exercises? Not sure if your still cutting but you'd get more out of it.
Steady state cardio = waste of time. It's too short or too slow paced.
Sauna= waste of time. You'd be get more out of being in a freezer.

I usually do more. I had a bad day, no energy. It almost became a rest day, but instead was a shorter workout day. I will think about your words regarding the cardio, though.

I started doing the sauna for 10 minutes at the tail end because I liked the way it felt. I know the science is questionable on its effects.

That being said, I will go ahead and shake things up. This is why I decided to post these logs publicly. Today, I will do a full workout day for shoulders and then 20 minutes of HIIT. My time is limited in the gym so I will put the extra 20 minutes saved from cutting 10 minutes of SS and another 10 from the sauna into weightlifting. That will be the intention moving forward. Each week will be 5 days on and 2 days off. One rest day will always be Friday. The second rest day will usually be Saturday, but it will float if I can actually get to the gym that morning. This weekend, I will be at the MVA (MD's version of the DMV) changing my license...

Back day. I killed it and we're going on a hike later. This is going to be rough.

I also used my sample of Controlled Labs' White Rapids Pineapple preworkout. It gave me a nice energy and it sustained through my entire workout.; The flavor was a little chalky and tart, but was by no means undrinkable. I'd say the effects of the product were worth the taste.

It was a leg day today. My legs are still a bit tender from the hike but I put in a decent day. For whatever reason, the Off the Chain Aminos hit me harder than usual and I actually didn't even take a PWO today.

I also tried a sample of Dymatize ISO100 peanut butter protein today after my workout. It was on the thin side (which is a good thing) and reminded me of a peanut butter cookie. There is a big difference between peanut butter and a peanut butter cookie to me, although I can't really word what that difference is. I enjoyed the protein and would gladly have it again. Peanut butter cookies are some of my favorite cookies.

We're going to the ridiculous 3-story mall near me to go birthday shopping for my dad and grandma. Before that, though, I went to the gym for a back day. I had more energy today because I slept in and felt great. I also threw on some curls with my new Fat Gripz Extreme and they were rough. My poor forearms had no chance. I will have to figure out how to utilize them in my workouts.

Decided to weigh in today. I came in at:

270.9 lbs
32.6% fat

Leg Day. Again, I felt good due to more sleep than usual. I popped my Dymatize sweet cherry lime preworkout sample and found it to be quite nice. It mixed thin with 12 oz of water and tasted just like cherry sours or gummy worms. 10-15 minutes later, I had tingles in my lips and ears. I didn't have any noticeable crash during my workout either.

I mixed things up today and went to my apartment gym for arm day. I busted out my Fat Grip Extremes for some forearm action as well. At my LA Fitness, I'm nothing special, but at my apartment gym, I'm apparently an unearthly monster so that's always fun.

Today, I started my HyperMax XT Strawberry Kiwi log. It seems like a very powerful and effective PWO.I tweaked my back in Cleveland and that effected me today but the HMXT got me so amped, I powered right through it for my shoulder workout. I did drop cardio and one of my exercises, though, because of it.

Well, my back is grits. My wife had to help me put my socks on today and I am alternating sitting and standing at my desk at work. This happened about a year and a half ago and then it went away, but my lower back hasn't felt strong as long as I can remember. I think it's spinal and my wife and I agreed I should probably get x rays soon after we go to Pennsylvania this weekend. This is so frustrating. I see people do bad form deadlifts and squats all day, every day and because of my back, I never push it, but still somehow got screwed again...

It hurts to even stand still, but I am at least going to walk and try to keep some kind of exercise up during this...

Alright. I am feeling infinitely better. I will go back to the gym tomorrow. It might just be just for cardio, but I'm hoping I feel good enough to maybe do arms. My back is still tender and I am doing a decent amount of walking to keep the blood moving. At this point, it is mildly uncomfortable but not painful.

I hit the gym today and I felt good. I took special care not to bend over and completely let my back take the brunt of the weight. It was a nice arm day and the involvement of the FatGripz got some forearm action into the workout. It is worth noting that I began a 2-month keto yesterday. I have started to hit the keto flu, I believe, and if it is like last time, I will feel pretty drained throughout the whole process. That being said, the HyperMax XT I am logging is helping a lot and making me feel awesome in the gym. I will be leaning on it for sure!

My starting stats for my 2-month keto diet:

271.7 lbs
32.4% body fat

Day 3 of keto. Keto flu is hitting hard, but because of my HyperMax XT, I had a nice shoulder workout. I worked out in my apartment gym, which is pretty lacking with only dumbbells that go up to 50s, but luckily, my shoulder routine doesn't require much more. If I was at LA Fitness, I would have done some heavy barbell shrugs and Hammer Strength Military Press, but I was already home and it's a 30 second walk to my apartment gym. I can't complain.

(copied from my HyperMax XT log)

My back feels great finally, although my energy levels are taking a hit from keto. I have decided to start experimenting with bouillon cubes for extra sodium and magnesium tablets to try to get more non-preworkout-based energy.

That being said, HyperMax XT came to the rescue. I mixed it with 16 ounces of water, mixed great again. I'm starting to enjoy the flavor more and more and the energy has been a godsend. As usual, I enjoyed an increased heart rate and more sweat more than normal. I also have enjoyed the pump, but my endurance has been taking a hit due to keto and lack of sleep. I have enjoyed HyperMax XT a lot and am so glad I have a lot of days left of it.

It's the toughest part of it and I haven't figured it out yet. I am only doing it until the end of September so I can make it through it. I couldn't do it all of the time. I like bread and having energy in the gym too much. More so on the bread.

I've been following the advice of Wimsicle and am consuming chicken bouillon cubes and magnesium tablets. I'm thinking of also buying a bottle of potassium tablets to really make sure I have the electrolytes I need while on keto. I feel better already.

I'm logging three times per week for four weeks in another thread about HyperMax XT and I don't feel like writing two different posts every day anymore. Lol. It was just easier. I never was known for being creative...

On the brightside, I will be logging 1 and 4 andro in October after this two month keto, so that will be fun. There will actually be progress to post about...

Fckn auto correct!! Sarms......How the h3ll did it turn Sarms into darks.
Well, that makes more sense! Haha. I have never tried a SARM. I've had my eye on S4 and GW-501516 for a while, especially since you supposedly don't need to run PCT with them. Everything that actually works in terms of muscle growth just costs so dang much! I went with the Andros because I used them once before and good results, and found good deals on eBay for them.

Which SARMs were you considering?

(Copied from HyperMax XT log)

I had a leg day that was cut short yesterday so I didn't count it on the log. Today was an arm day and the HyperMax XT got it done. With my Fat Gripz and the pump from the HyperMax, my forearms were barking. It was a nice day and I left with a smile on my face. I also finished with a superset and it felt dang good.

The HyperMax XT mixed great as usual, tasted good, and worked in around 15 minutes. I went from a little tired to ready to go, just how I like my preworkout to work.

Week Three / Log Two

I took a scoop around 10 minutes before I went to the gym for a chest day. I didn't get proper sleep so work was a little rough, but the HyperMax XT kicked me into gear. I had a great pump and the whole workout burned nice. I'm still loving this stuff. I really love the flavor of the strawberry kiwi mixed with my lemon lime creatine.

I like to hike. I would do it every weekend if the wife would let me. That and kayaking. We finally went and hiked on the Virginia side of the Potomac, but to be honest, I strongly prefer the Maryland side at Billy Goat Trail. Way less kids and traffic. Everyone was just like... screaming for no reason. There was no freaking way we were going to see any birds or animals.

*copied from HyperMax XT log*

I have been curious about going over a scoop and since I'm going into the last week of my log, I decided to do a scoop and half. I loved it. I was pretty tired at work and I was really dreading going to the gym. I drank the HyperMax XT 10 minutes out from the gym and I was ready to burst out of the car when I got to the gym. I had a great back day and the energy lasted the whole session. I swear I felt... hotter... while I did my cardio. I was out of breath and there was a noticeable kick to my a** I don't normally feel. I've been home for an hour and I'm still kind of buzzing. I am considering doing two scoops tomorrow, but maybe I shouldn't. Haha. Maybe I will do two scoops for my final log. End these fireworks with a finale!

I've been hiking the Ozark Trail for the last few years. I've got the first few sections done, about halfway, probably. Typically will do a week at a time, hitting 70 miles per week. As I work my way south, the daily mileage increases as the trail gets easier.

P1010520.JPG


This is the typical terrain. Loose rocks on the hillsides, rock "glades" on the tops and creeks and rivers in the valleys. Total calf workout!

If it wasn't so far, I'd come out that way for a hike

My wife and I are trying to get back down south to FL or GA so this is a giant tourist adventure for us. I love DC and southern Maryland. In fact, it's the best place I've ever lived or even been to. The only thing it really is missing is a proper beach, but our families, friends, warmer weather, and cheaper living beckon...

Georgetown was cool. My favorite part was Georgetown Cupcakes... well, because of the cupcakes. Of course we went to the Exorcist steps because that's what tourists do...
