Day 29
I got to wear one of the brand spanking new tank tops BW got me for Christmas to the gym today. And lemme tell you, I was looking fine!!! (...I wish, but I like the shirt!) I think it may contain some quantum polarization faculties, y'know like the Strap? I'm pretty sure my those squats felt lighter because of it.
Anywhoo, I'm feeling good, in case you couldn't tell. PM workouts leave me fatigued and battered, but inevitably happy. I do not know exactly why, but I like it!
T-911: Only 6 tabs left, such a bummer! Where did the time go? I'm continuing with 2/day and the effects are beginning to plateau, so I think it's a good time to begin cycling down off of it. Appetite has not been so high, and though my work in the gym today did display improvement, I can tell I'm lacking that 3rd tab.
BC+EAA: Today I shared some of my BC+EAA with BW; she had a serving in her intra-workout shake. She was thrilled by the flavor at first, it being a vast improvement over bulk bcaas, vitC, carbs and maybe some TrueProtein Flavoring. She did, however, concur that it did have a somewhat "Play-Doh-ish" aftertaste that coud be improved upon. This didn't keep her from asking for more for her PM workout though.
I'm out of Protein and yesterday was a recovery day so I didn't take I-GH-1, so that's really all I have to report on, supp-wise.
The Workouts!
AM Supersets
6x3
Squats: 365
w/ Supinated Cable Rows: 285 w/3sec eccentric
6x3
Weighted Dips: BW+105
Hammer Curls: 80 w/3sec eccentric
3x8
Unilateral Leg Extension: 90 w/4sec eccentric
DB Flies: 45lb DBs w/4sec eccentric
I increased volume from 5x3 to 6x3 and everything held up well - I was pleased with my squats and the rows felt downright easy so I slowed the eccentric to increase intensity there. Hammer curls I reduced the weight from my last workout a bit and really focused on contracting each arm as much as possible and controlling the motion.
PM: All Supersets 3x15
Single Leg Squats: BW
w/Decline Cable Press: 90lb per arm w/3sec eccentric
Leg Press Calf Raise: 600 w/4sec ecc
DB Pullover: 95
Triceps Dips: BW, BW, 50lb weight assistance (I'm so ashamed...)
Spider BB Curls: 95lb w/3sec Ecc
My knees and ankles popped so many times doing those single leg squats - and after this morning's workout, they were horridly amazing! I stood on a bench while doing them (looked like a moron but I don't care!) and the burn was unbelievable.
Between the Dec Cable Presses and DB Pullovers, my Triceps were shot before ever even approaching the Dipping bars, so my performance on that movement was somewhat less than what I had hoped. I am considering replacing the dips with another Tri isolation movement instead.
I obliterated my biceps on those curls - I did lighter weight and really focused all the way around on controlling the weight and flexing my biceps as much as possible. Holy Cow, what a pump! I don't usually care about "the pump" but geez, it felt nice tonight!
Now, I did have half a scoop of Assault tonight, pre-workout, to help my with energy since I'm off of ECA for a month, so I'm sure that contributed to the way my arms felt, but still, it was cool.
