Norwegian's Re-comping with the Ultimate RPM/Drive Stack [Sponsored]

Keep it up bud!

Day #13: OFF

Day #14: Shoulders/Traps (uh oh, once again with the traps!)

Smith Front Press - (95 * 30) 135 * 25, 135 * 25, 135 * 21, 135 * 21
Seated Side Laterals - 30 * 25, 30 * 25, 30 * 25, 30 * 25
Reverse Pec-dec Flyes (palms facing down) - 145 * 25, 160 * 25, 175 * 25, 190 * 20

Dumbbell Shrugs - 150 * 30, 150 * 25, 150 * 25
superset with
Front Plate Raises - 45 * 20, 45 * 20, 45 * 25 reps

Weight - 228 lbs.

- Had a wicked workout, and I find myself 'horny' for increasing the volume even further! The four sets of 30 lbs dumbbell side laterals for 25 reps each were painful as hell (in a good way), but I managed to get every rep of every set in. The last couple reps of the last two sets, I had to roll my shoulders forward for a couple seconds and pause (while not letting go of the dumbbells) to gather myself for the final five reps, but I was determined to break my past records on them, as I did. Front Smith Press was a nice substitute for the Hammer Presses, and I burned the hell out of my front delts and upper chest (obviously..). Reverse Pec-decs with a different grip than usual (palms DOWN as opposed to pointing out and away from one another) were awesome, and I was doing them on a pec-dec right next to a mirror, and seeing my rear delt go to work like it did, and seeing every contraction and the gradual build-up of blood filling the muscle was awesome. It made me keep going and going ... and going ... Without hesitation, I grabbed the 150 lbs for my shrugs, no warm up or anything, and busted out some severely high reps. I don't squeeze on the peak contraction apart from the final couple reps of each set, so it's a smooth up and down motion to burn and pump the hell out of them. I was once again victorious in that department.

I continue to pimp the RPM/Drive stack. I had a buddy of mine at the gym come ask me what my ultimate recommendation would be (following my crushing his idea of running Anavar), and I told him to go for the RPM/Drive stack, and go check out this log for proof.

I'm only doing 3 caps X twice daily of Drive, and 3 caps RPM pre-workout. I'm running low on the RPM, and I'm wanting this fun to keep going as long as I can.

My weight gain is a result of some indigestion from the weekend, once again.. Plus, it's been a couple days since I had the chance to do cardio, something I will pick up on tomorrow again, hopefully. Tomorrow will most likely be nothing but cardio, as I've got to 'lean up' - lose a little water - for an internship interview I've got following my Tuesday final exam. Anyway, I've got to stop ranting, and hit the books.

PEACE !

Day #15: PM Workout

Cardio: 30 minutes Stationary Bike; Level 8; 450 calories

Biceps:

Uni-arm Machine Curls - 90 * 25, 90 * 25, 90 * 20, 90 * 20
Hammer Dumbbell Curls - 45 * 25, 50 * 20, 50 * 20
Machine Preacher Curls - 60 * 25, 70 * 20, 70 * 21
Dumbbell Spider Curls - 20 * 20, 20 * 20, 20 * 25 -> 20 * 13

Weight - ?

- arms are looking ridiculously full and veiny. They get blown out of proportion with the severe pump I'm attaining nowadays. When I was doing my spider curls, I supported the non-working arm on my thigh, and I saw veins running horizontally and vertically from my elbow up to my shoulder, with broad shoulders caps. My bicep stood out like a sore thumb, and the inner bicep veins are more pronounced than ever. I decided to start the day off with some cardio, just because I overendulged in GoLean cereal earlier, which caused some major digestion issues .. damn sugar and dairy .. I'm still not recovered, and the stationary bike was highly uncomfortable as my stomach looked like a pregant woman's. It wasn't until I was 'in the zone' doing biceps that I was able to ignore my stomach issues, but now that my workout is over with, I feel like my stomach is bloated. Won't be endulging in more carbs tonight for sure, apart from the Cytogainer shake I'm enjoying as I'm typing this. I've got a long evening ahead with lots of studying, so I'm gonna get to it!`
 
Very late to get in here, but better late than never :p

Been a crazy last few weeks, tryin to make sure I don't fall off as the end of the semester winds down. I don't even have to read through this log, I know the kind of work you do :cool: I'll just pick up from here and assume you've been kicking ass as usual.

I like the detail on the physiology. How long do you think you'll be doing this uber-volume workout?

I plan on transitioning back to a higher rep, more hypertrophic regiment next week. I'll probably have to rebuild my muscle endurance to the 10-12 rep zone before I can do anything crazy, since their accustomed to a 5-8 rep cycle.

I'm taking my Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist test this Saturday, $400.00 test!!! So I'm thoroughly pissing myself.

I keep forgetting about the CEE because it's been a hectic week (last week and this week), but I'll try to remember for tomorrow.

Keep it up bud.

P.S. Did I tell you, I hit up 2hours 49 min of cardio on sat and I got a mean tan out of it to boot, so it worked out for everybody.

- I'll most likely be doing it for the remainder of the month, and then see where it takes me. I'll be running out of RPM and Drive by Sunday, appx., and Monday, I'll begin my MRI NO2/Xtend/Vasocharge combo. (w/CEE when it comes in, lol)

- That's not right ! haha .. I'm getting back in to my AM cardio / PM workout routine tomorrow, as I've been slacking majorly on the cardio and dieting part of my life. Too many treats - carbs - lately, and I'm filling in and blowing up ! Not really liking it, cus I miss my old lean self .. ('old' as in two weeks ago, LOL)
 
Norwegian, you complain about not gaining a little fat, but your still leaner than 99% of us. Just giving you a hard time bro and don't sweat it, with your dedication and work ethic you'll be back to where you were in absolutely no time.
 
Day #16: OFF

Day #17: Chest/Triceps

Incline Hammer Press (close-grip) - (90 * 30) 140 * 20, 140 * 25, 140 * 25, 140 * 20 reps
Incline Dumbbell Flyes - 50 * 20, 50 * 20, 50 * 20 reps
Bench Press - 135 * 25, 155 * 20, 155 * 19 reps
Pec-dec Flyes - 150 * 25, 150 * 22, 150 * 22 reps

Dumbbell Pullovers - 70 * 20, 70 * 20 reps

Bodyweight Dips - 20, 20, 20 reps
V-grip Pressdowns - 60 * 25, 70 * 20, 70 * 20 reps
One-arm Overhead DB Extensions - 22.5 * 20, 22.5 * 20, 22.5 * 20 reps
Rope Pressdowns - 80 * 25, 80 * 30 reps

Weight - ?

- Like I mentioned in my previous post, I'm weak for carbs. Kashi GoLean cereal and I don't go along well, because if I've got them around, I can literally snack on the bag until it's gone in a day or less. I've lost definition, but my upper body has exploded (with growth) ! My girl dropped by on Monday evening, and she looked at my arms and went, 'they're looking weirdly shaped! .. and huuge !' .. They do, my arms have blown up, looking much blockier than usual, and I mean blocky ! haha .. It didn't help that my veins were very much pronounced when she came down that evening, as I'd been sitting in the sun studying all weekend long and was looking nice and tan ... Hence more vascular .. Hence more comments from my girl ! LOL ..

My chest width has gotten much better, and I could tell the difference especially when I did my dips today. I do them on a dip stand where the two bars angle in towards one another. I use a medium-width grip, and my elbows flare way out upon lowering, and it's a fluid up-and-down motion, keeping constant tension on the pecs. I was surprised by the amount of volume I managed to do today, but I had some great fcukin inspiration at the gym -> got a new fitness babe in there ! My buds mentioned it to me when I started off my workout, how this bangin' girl had been there last night.. half-way through my workout, there she was ! Tan, lean and fit ! She was doing leg work today, with smith squats and leg press supersetted with jump rope. When she was jumping up and down, the skin on her stomach (meaning she was LOW on bodyfat) smoothly moved up and down on her abs, and she was sporting a complete six pack, more defined than any other female stomach I've seen before. Anyway, one helluva inspiration to have around ! She made me and my gym buds feel pathetic ! hahaha ..

I appreciate that, bro ! It's just some added water I've retained lately. More apparent during and following a workout than normally during the day, but I know I'm not as defined as I used to. Still, though, just the other day, Sunday, I was sitting by the pool for a couple of hours, and I had veins running horizontally up my arm (as previously mentioned), which goes to show the natural vasodilation effects of the sun. And I'd been sweating some, so my arms were looking rather ridiculous, topped off with big, round shoulder caps. I can't complain much, to be honest, that was only a couple of days ago, and I've realized that my carb endulging has been worse lately, so as soon as I get in to the habit of AM cardio and low/no carbs again, I should be just fine.

Topping it off with the MRI NO2, Vasocharge, Xtend and CEE should make for a fun 6-weeks coming up !
 
Not trying to dismiss the high reps as working for you, but I've heard a lot about the aspect of "priming" your body for a bulk. I'm not sure if your aware of the idea, but it basically consist of dieting down to a real low bodyfat and then when you jack up your caloric intake and carb intake your body is just lusting for all the nutrients and in turn simply grows like a weed. I know a lot of guys who compete, and they will all say that they make there best (and leanest) gains right after their competitions. Supposedly, no matter how much you consume (still keeping it pretty clean of course) it's hard to put on fat. So I'm sure that with all the extreme cardio and dieting you've been doing lately, that with the little bit of extra nutrients you've allowed your body the last week or two that your body has just been yearning for it and accordingly has been putting them extra cals to good use (muscle).

I bet you got some weird looks when people saw you get on the bench and put on 155. Like why the hell is this monster only doing with 155? WTF?!?! Then you go on to bust out 20 reps!

My exact thoughts, man ! And it sure as hell feels like I'm growing muscle ! Stomach's looking less defined particularly after a workout (with the added water) but in the morning upon waking, it's not bad, yet my upper body keeps staying full, so I bet my body's using most of these nutrients for the good of my body !

Then again, I'm not over-endulging as in fast-food and the likes, i'm simply adding a significant amount of oats (mainly, from Kashi GoLean and Oatmeal) along with the occasional evening of pizza. (Occasional meaning once a week the past two weeks, but I eat until I'm full..)

My back and shoulders have thickened up considerably as well, and I'm looking to be in a highly anabolic state at this time being. I almost feel bad not taking more advantage, but I don't want to grow out of my new slacks and shirts I got last Monday, before my internship has even begun ! LOL`

Yes, sir, two buddies came up, looked at me with wide eyes, asking, dude, what gives ?! [Implying I'm 'off-cycle' or sick or something, haha..] I'm like, nothing much man, switching up my routine a little bit, high reps - 20-30 each set - is what I do !

I hear you man. Jack them calories up and keep it clean and just watch as the muscle piles on. Are you still planning on doing a competition in the near future?

Can't say I do .. I'll be focusing on my summer internship initially, and see what comes along. I'll be leaner and looking better by Monday again, but then I'll just be wanting to see what NO2 and Vasocharge can do for me alongside a low-carb diet and ~80-90 minutes of cardio a day.

As to what I'm looking for in terms of body composition, I have no idea. I no longer have the goals of being bigger than everyone else, so I won't be delving in to the Pro-Hormone world again anytime soon. I was enjoying being able to take my shirt off and looking lean and defined following my hard core dieting, so that [typical] summer-bod look is probably what I'll be going for again ..

My girl can't respect me putting everything I've got in to bodybuilding/dieting and this lifestyle, as she's emphasized how much more important it is to focus on my professional career and my education. I can't say I disagree with her, because I do realize that when I get engaged with something (or get a passion for something) I go ALL-out, as I've done with bodybuilding. Long-term goal is NOT to be on the Olympia stage, but to be able to financially support my girl and a family, which is why my main focus will be on my work and school. I'll still be at the gym twice a day, but you know what I mean ..

Completely understandable. Just take it as it comes and keep doing what your doing. You have to remember to enjoy the important things in life and that bodybuilding isn't the only thing in life. It's a big part, but not the only part. Haha
 
I know what you mean norwegian. responsibility is a killer. Good, but it's all about time. Been maried for 7 years and I go through that really, mental, focusing part of lifting and training hard. Then I lose the time, then it's back up again. Don't get me wrong I still lift, it's just not embeded in my pillow and in my daily self as much as my wife and daughter are. And I'm only 28.
Good luck towards the back stretch of your combo.
 
Just curious, have you ever tried Junglewarfare? Or is JW not your cup of protein?

I'm wondering if 3-AD is anything like that?.... hmmm... I'm concerned about the lethargy.

I'll try to make an intentional effort to remember the CEE, sorry about the delay bro.

Absolutely, bro ! I won't expect anything differently when I get in those shoes, but for now me working as hard as I can to succeed and impress at this internship (which will continue to be my part-time job for the remainder of my college career) will be my absolute priority. Originally, my girl and I broke up (a year ago) because she didn't sense me taking life seriously and I didn't plan my future more than as to 'what to eat and how to train for the next 8 weeks..' I've finally made that change I needed, refocused my attention towards my future success in the professional world, and she's finally believing in me and willing to give it another go. Can you blame me for wanting to excel at this opportunity?

Man, I never did .. I was tempted to, but found myself choosing other options over it - whether it be test boosters or PHs ..

And no need to apologize, bro, we're all keeping busy nowadays !

Hahaha, that dancing smiley cracked me up ! And thank you very much !!!

EMERGENCY !!! PLEASE LOOK !!!

- Upon completing my finals last night, I decided I was gonna chill out a little bit and ease my stress. I happen to puff the magic dragon a couple times (first time in a long time, btw..). I went to my follow-up internship interview today, toured around the office, etc .. Then when I was about to leave, I was informed that I was to take a pre-employment urin analysis at some point tomorrow !! I PUFFED THE DRAGON 24 hours ago !!

Which detox kit do I get ? I've called all my buds and I'm pimping low-sugar cranberry juice, tons of water, lime juice, antioxidants, and the likes.. I've been recommended to get a detoxifying drink - the $25-40 ones - or Quick-Clean caps .. But I want to be as safe as I can !!! Any other suggestions, fellas ?! HELP PLEASE !

Is there any way you can delay it. With your bodyfat and activity level and that you just smoked once. you will be clean in like 2-4 days(maybe less). I clean out in 4 if i smoke once and i have more bodyfat than you. If you have to use a drink try Q-carbo, but be ready and folow the directions correctly. If you end up using that kind youshould let me know because there is a couple things to know that aren't on the bottle.

I just went by the local smoke shop .. Decided to opt for the synthetic urine, as it's the safest bet at this point (as recommended by several of my buds as well ..) .. Minimum time for the THC to clear out of the system is 28 hours, and, well, it's simply not worth the risk of not being clean, so I'll be putting my stealth-cap on tomorrow morning !

Due to the worst case scenario possibilities, I'll keep drinking my cranberry juice, overload on water, and hit the gym again.

At 5 PM, in the heat of the day today, I went for a 70 minute long run, about 6 miles long. I was drenched from top to toe, and it felt GOOD ! It was my first RUN in two weeks, I believe, and initially I was a little worried because my legs felt heavier than usual. I was amazed by my stamina and endurance, and I definitely pushed myself. When I came back to my apt, I had a couple drops of blood on my long sleeve underarmor, and I was like, wtf ?! I blew my nose, and my shirt was 'covered' in blood ! Hmm, not the greatest of thing to happen, but I don't think my body was exactly expecting me to go above and beyond just like that ! haha

Yeah synthetic urine is the safest route for sure. Watch out for the bleeding though that sounds bad.
 
Yeah, I've got to be careful with the nose bleed .. It's the first time since I can remember, but I've been out of whack the past two days with horrible sleeping habits, hunched over my books, forcing myself to stay awake, whether off of thermos or anything else.. Prior to today's interview, I was feeling lousy, kind of similar to a hypo-glycemic feeling .. lightheaded, nauseous and the likes. My BP must be a little elevated as a result of all the stress as of lately, and I respect that, and will 'treat' it accordingly.

I'm counting on the synthetic to work out for me, granted they don't need to 'watch' me do it. I'm gonna take care of the test ASAP tomorrow morning so that I can finally relax a little bit.

My BP must be a little elevated as a result of all the stress as of lately, and I respect that, and will 'treat' it accordingly.

I'm counting on the synthetic to work out for me, granted they don't need to 'watch' me do it. I'm gonna take care of the test ASAP tomorrow morning so that I can finally relax a little bit.

Just make sure that the temp is between 92-100 degrees.
 
Alright, it's been done .. 94 degrees on their measurement, 96 on mine, so I'm glad I got it all the way to 102 in the microwave prior to taking off ! I put 2 oz. in the plastic cup out of 3 oz. total, so I'm crossing my fingers it's enough. Now I can only sit back and relax and hope for the best ..

Day #18?

AM Cardio: I'm about to go for a run outside .. Awesome weather, awesome running conditions.
 
My stack beginning next week:

* MRI NO2 - 3 caps X 4 times per day
* Scivation VasoCharge (berry) - 2 scoops pre-workout
* Scivation Xtend (watermelon) - 4-6 scoops total during and post-workout
* Nutraplanet CEE - 2-3 grams X 4 times per day

- looking at this, all I can say is, DAMN, I'm keeping it healthy ! (referring to my refraining from pro-hormones and the likes..)
- I'll be cutting the carbs again, too, when starting this; low, low, LOW !

NOTE: Began my NO2 today, btw. No need to postpone that. I've got 12-15 caps left of each RPM and Drive, so they should both run out by Sunday.

Your healthy stack is making my liver jealeous. I've PM'd some reps whom I respect as knowledeable people about some of my stack concerns, regarding a certain mysterious third powerhouse candidate to my stack. We'll see.

Your stack is damn healthy bro, again, my liver gave me the middle finger when I read it. :dump:

Hahaha, that's sort of the assumption I made! I figured it wouldn't hurt to refrain from all the new-age ingredients and the likes for a while, as well as stims. Perhaps I'll rip tear it up with a bad-ass stack starting mid-June sometime, at least then i'll have the funds available as well as knowing I'm ready for anything.

Your third powerhouse being XFactor? Hmm, I looked in to that a couple times the past three years, but cost efficiency vs results vs side effects didn't make it worth it to me. By all means, I'm not ripping the product, but it seems there are better alternatives, IMHO.

Best of luck to ya ! Lookin' forward to hearing what you decide to opt for; regardless, your log should make for an awesome read !
 
Fellas .. I need some advice !

What do you think about me adding Anabolic Pump to my natural arsenal ? What kind of added benefits do you think I'd experience ? How would you suggest I use it alongside such a combo, while still keeping the carbs at a sufficiently low dosage? Base the AP dosing around three carb-meals per day ? Or post-workout ?

I've already got Yellow Gold on hand, but it didn't yield much results when I attempted it .. Then again, it was back in January/February when I was 245 lbs .. Could I play with combining AP and YG ?


Then there's also Glucophase XR in which I've had an interest for in the past. Had I chosen this product, I'd obviously be going for more fat loss on cycle than with AP. For those who've taken it, and are 225lbs+, did ya'll need more than 3 caps/day ? I'm asking because I want to make it a cost efficient stack, as well, and Glucophase is minimum $35 + shipping online, and @ 3 caps/day it's be a 30 day supply, but with 6 caps/day, it'd be a mere 15 days .. Anyone have good experiences with it? (as most of the reviews I saw praised it ..)


Looking forward to seeing what ya'll think .. (sorry the messy amount of questions)

My input on Anabolic Pump is pretty sub-par considering how long I've been on it. I haven't been "utilizing" my Anabolic Pump or Pslin to their intended effect. AP of course has a suggested (maybe even required) minimum of 50 carbs per meal. However, I've only been using AP to buffer carb meals lately and I bring out the AP and Pslin combo to buffer HIGH carb replenish meals. I haven't been using them appropriately for their performance enhancing, potential weight loss effects. However, during my Junglewarfare, AP, Pslin phase, I was using them appropriately, but the lethargy produced by the JW blunted any positive "feeling" effects, such as energy that AP or Pslin offered. I can attest that I got terrific pumps. My first night on AP/Pslin was a chest night, and my pecs felt like a bloated floating device. As far as weight loss, I was eating like a rhino/buffalo hybrid, so neither AP or Pslin could have saved me.

I use AP now, but just during my carb containing meals, which is usually breakfast with oatmeal and I take AP/Pslin before my post-workout meals or even shakes/with Waxy Maize. Based on what AP is suppose to do, taking it pre, post workout nutrient replenishing would be really effective.

Here's something you should think about before you go AP. This is for the Carbs Anonymous group members only. Once you get on AP for awhile and you get comfortable with the fact that you're buffering your carb intake with AP, it makes it all the more difficult to eat carbs when you don't have AP on hand, you smell what I'm cook'n? There is a high potential for AP dependency (if you can afford it). AP = crack head syndrome, which I think I have a minor case of.

I think if your going to be on a low to no carb diet, maybe you should go Pslin and use it pre high carb replenish meals.

My entire post was pretty much useless, sorry bro.

About my 3rd mystery powerhouse. It wasn't X-factor, that's a given, that already has a pass. I had a bottle junglewarfare laying around and I asked knowledgeable people about a 3-AD, MassFx, Junglewarfare stack and got a unanimous nay, so I'll hold off. I pretty much knew that'd be an overkill, but I wanted some confirmation from the learn'ed.

My stack will remain as I originally intended, which is still nothing to shake a stick at.
 
You should PM "Mulletsoldier" he's a USPLabs rep. He's a bit of a pretentious @$$hole, but he's incredibly knowledgeable and has a true mastery of understanding regarding Anabolic Pump. I say you tell him what your dietary regiment is going to be and I think he'll be honest with you in advising for or against the use of AP. He won't pimp AP out to you if he doesn't think you'll utilize it.

He's more against supplementation then for it. I told him once, isn't that like discouraging the purchase of vehicles at a car lot? But he's a straight shooter.

There, a little less irrelevant post to balance out my previous one.
 
I pretty well agree with everything volcom said, including about mulletsoldier :) If you are used to a low carb life, AP may not be a great choice. I am having a hard time trying to go back into a clean carb life after so long of low carb.

Bro, I really appreciate the great amount of detail and specifics in your response! What scares me more than anything is the 'addiction' scenery, because you and I both know we don't want to bloat any more than is necessary, and running out of AP wouldn't mean I would be able to cut down my carbs immidiately ! LOL. Besides, I'm accustomed to a eat-somewhat-what-I-want deal right now, which isn't helping my wallet nor my cutting, and the less carbs, the less $$ I throw down.

Which is why I now kind of lean towards Glucophase XR, as I'm counting on it giving me more fat-burning/toning effects than AP potentially could. I haven't entirely thrown AP on the back-burner, because I'd love to see it alongside the NO2 and CEE, but I'll be pondering on my choice all weekend long, as well as write out my diet and the likes. I'm going to have everything ready this time around, no BS. Seeing as the summer is coming up, and I'll be seeing my girl more, a non-diet meal may be included every once in a while, but that's a given.

Thanks again! (and most likely a wise choice not to include the JW; perhaps it could be an overkill, or at least blunt the potential effects of each individual product..)

AP/Creatine is a sexy combo. Definitely a factor to contemplate and measure.
 
Day #18:

PM Cardio only: 70 minute run; ~6miles.


Day #19:

AM Cardio: 40 minutes run w/agility

- a couple of miles of running, lots of high repped front and reverse lunges, butt kicks, knee-highs. In the heat of the day - around 12.30PM - I was drenched in no time at all !

PM Workout:

- I'm popping my 4 caps Drive and 5 caps RPM as I'm writing this. I've got a sample of Purple Wrath as well as Green MAGnitude in which I'll be using pre-workout today.

- I haven't taken any stims today, and I'm a little low on energy still from two draining running sessions the past 24 hours. I've got a back and trap workout ahead, which is why I'll be requiring lots of energy. I'm hoping the Purple Wrath and Green MAG will help me 'refuel' prior to hitting the gym..
 
I am on FIRE !! The RPM has amped up my thermogenesis, and I'm warm and feeling energized. I've spent the past hour cleaning up my dogs vomit across my apartment, so I've kept busy scrubbing and cleaning. Definitely got to ease my stress now, so I'm hoping my current stomach issues - which I get EVERY time I drink Green MAGnitude - will fade so I can have a worry-free workout !
 
Day #19:

Palms-in Wide-grip Pulldowns - (120 * 25) 160 * 20, 180 * 20, 200 * 20
Close-grip Barbell Rows - (135 * 25) 185 * 20, 205 * 20, 225 * 20
V-grip Pulldowns - 120 * 20, 140 * 20, 160 * 20
Seated Cable Rows - 160 * 20, 180 * 20, 200 * 20
Vince Taylor One-arm Pulldowns - 55 * 20, 65 * 20, 75 * 20

Seated Dumbbell Shrugs - 125 * 30, 125 * 30, 125 * 30, 125 * 30

Two-arm DB Preacher Curls (w/twist) - 25 * 20, 25 * 20, 25 * 20
Uni-Machine Curls - 90 * 20, 90 * 20, 90 * 20

Weight - 228.8 lbs

- another high volume workout, and I never wanted to leave the gym. The 5 caps of RPM fueled me like a maniac, and my arms looked NASTY covered in veins running every direction, and FULL ! I don't have a camera, but I need to borrow one so I can take some in-action pics, because pictures say a thousand words, and I won't have to justify my log any longer! haha ..

It's funny/weird .. I've been in an aweful mood all day, post-stress from finals/interviews and the likes, and first third of my workout was just anger and frustrations let go. But walking out of the gym once I finished, I felt refreshed, rejuvenated, and literally had a 'natural high' going for me! Mood tends to be great towards the end of my workouts, I guess it's because I feel like I've accomplished something, and just left everything I had at the gym!

Hey Norwegian would you mind just briefly describing the two exercises I bolded. Just how they are performed, etc, because I'm not sure that I'm familiar with them.

Also I know exactly what you mean about the gym. Especially when school and life gets stressful, the gym is my sanctuary, my escape from life. I can go and release my anger, frustration, and whatever else I have built up from the day and by the time I leave I feel 100 times better about life and whatever was bothering me before.

Wu-Tang would call it the 31st chamber.

I'm not familiar with them either. The only fancy "name" exercises I do are Gironda Dips and Cutler Lat Raises.
