Mmmmmm, Purple Wraath... This has replaced my Xtend.
Don't push it; just hit squats tomorrow, and throw in some squat jumps.
Keep killin' it, man!

Am I freakin sore today. My whole upper body, and even my glutes and hammies are screaming at me. I'm hoping to get out of work early, consume massive amounts of Purple WRAATH / Protein / FOOD and take a long nap. Then wake up and take some Yellow nEuphoria. I had planned on working squats today, but that might have to wait until tomorrow.

Yes...100 pullups! Not in 1 set though
Hard work = Good results!!!

I only take the NOW Res, I think it's only 200mg, 1 cap per day. Haven't noticed much, maybe increase of libido a little bit. I plan on giving Stoked! a try down the road. My goal is to keep estrogen at bay naturally, but not erradicate it.

Post: Golden FinisH

5 sets of 10 lunges

Thoughts
Good workout. It's legs, ehh. I had a nice pump and seemed to go up in weight with my squats. I practice Kung fu, a style called Xingyiquan. It's internal style, like Tai chi. Here is a video of an example of the style I practice.

Inspiring words brother!!! For sure!!!

Gearing up for today's upper body workout. Not quite sure how I switched from push / pull / legs to upper vs. lower, but change is always good!

7/16 - Upper Body

Preworkout
100mg Caffeine + 1 scoop GlycerGROW + 3 Incarnates + 1 scoop Green MAG + 2 scoops Purple WRAATH

Workout
50 dips
50 chinups
5 sets of Bench press supersetted with BB rows (5~ reps each ... heavy weight for me.)
weighted dips (tricep dips) supersetted with DB curls x to failure
Curls and press using dumbells (interesting.)
2 sets of pushups to failure (not too hard to do)

Thoughts
I was pressed for time due to my partner having other stuff to do, so we really cranked up the intensity and tried to hit it hard and fast. The 100mg caffeine really charged me up, along with my usual arsenal of preworkout mayhem. I was running around like a madman, lifting anything I could get my hands on. Meanwhile my poor buddy forgot to take his flaxseed oil today and his shoulder was bothering him. To be honest I could've done more at the end of the workout but I know I fatigued myself quite well. It's hard to rush an upper body workout, there's so many muscles that need to get hit. So just load up the bar and do the biggest movements you can. And did it I did.

:bruce2:

Ran out of Golden Finish (DAMN!) so until I get my hands on some more my post workout will be Whey isolates and food.

Damn your workouts look tough RR. How many times/week do you workout/lift?

Do you take any deloading periods?

Do you take any deloading periods?

I lift weights about 4-5 times per week. Hit each muscle group hard about twice, or even three times in a matter of 7 days.

I will occasionally take a complete week off when I start to feel beaten down. I don't like to deload because i don't like giving it 110% in the gym, so I will just take a complete week off and relax.

7/17 - CORE

Preworkout
1 scoop Green MAG + 2 scoops GlycerGROW + 3 caps Incarnate

Workout
Deadlifts - 4x12 , 3x5 (weight increase)
Leg lifts - 200 (i hate working abs.)

Thoughts
This was a spur of the moment thing. Was supposed to be legs as well, but after we banged out 5 sets of deads that idea went out the window. The deadlifts felt awesome and I'm definately stronger than I was last time I did deads. I hate working abs but leg lifts are great. I don't like situps, I find my lower back gives out before my abs. Any ideas about that????

Here you go bro, the link is to a download of a book for a TON of different ab lifts. You shouldnt run out of ideas and should be able to work around the back issue with a few of these:

Book is called "Abs for life"

7/19 - Upper Body

Pre workout
2 scoops GG + 1 scoop GM + 3 incarnates + 2 scoops PW

Pics


Workout
2 sets of burpees (pushup + pullup) - 15

4 cycles of Circuit:
*Bench Press
*Rows
*Dips
*Bicep Curls
*Lateral Raises

Set of pushups to failure

Thoughts
Today was hot and we changed it up by doing 4 cycles of an upperbody circuit. Very tiring and nice. Took some pics after the workout.

[RenegadeRows]

Took yesterday and also today off. Haven't had much energy latley. I think I need to take these 2 days rest up. I also want to re-examine my workouts and tweak my supplements. The combo of GlycerGROW + Green MAG has been bringing my great volumization. Purple WRAATH has been giving me good recovery and endurance. I'm happy with the Incarnate so far as well. My joints feel better and recovery/energy is up there. In a few days I will have Orange TRIad and Golden FinisH which will further aid in joints, immune and recovery. It's strange, a few days after I ran out of Golden FinisH I became tired. Perhaps it was doing more than I thought it was.

As far as tweeking my workouts, I'd like to work on strength and go heavy with low reps for a few consecutive weeks. I will need however today to rest and mentally prepare myself for the battle ahead. I want to take advantage of having the TRIad joint formula + cissus from incarnate and really hammer out some PR's and heavy weight. By the time I burn out on that routine, it will be the start of Autumn and I can start bulking with GVT.
