Day 10
9/20 - Rep Range
Shoulders / Abs
Today had to be a quick w/o because I had meetings all day.
Single Arm DB Press 2x8/8 - 60
BB Shrugs - 2x10/10 - 190
Cable Side Lateral - 2x12/12 - 15
200 reps of various ab exercises.
Was in a hurry at the gym today due to meetings and was rushing through my w/o. Much to my surprise, I was never fatigued from the short rest intervals. While bulking I've been giving myself roughly 2 minute RI's, but today I was doing 30 seconds to 1 minute RI's and was still ready for more. I finished so fast that I even had time to throw in 10 minutes on the tready (which I almost never do, but felt guilty because of the pizza I ate for lunch).
If I had to judge right now, I would say SDNG is more of a pre-w/o stimulant rather than a muscle builder. I just finished a bottle of RPM before starting this cycle and that's what I would compare SDNG too. For me, they've treated me basically the same except I don't have a crash on SDNG (I crashed on RPM) but I had better wood on RPM (no random wood on SDNG).
But I must hold judgement on SDNG as far as strength goes at this point because I'm not even half-way through the bottle yet. I wasn't expecting to see any strength gains until the beginning of the 3rd week.
Forgot to add - weight as of this morning - 203 (that's a 4lb increase since 9/14)
