Ryansm logs Blue Gene!

ryansm said:
Today was legs, nothing exciting due to injuries. Did a ton of step-ups and lunges along with hip speed work with keg tosses. I'm feeling great, and my libido is way up. Recovery was certainly better between sets and I had plenty of energy. Liking Blue Gene so far, hopefully we see some strength gains start next week!

sounds good so far
 
ok, update weight 298, joints feeling good in fact better than they have in some time, Today was shoulders, decide to do some hip snatch and heavy split jerk with the bar in back squat position.

Felt strong today:)
hip snatch
70 kilos x 4
100 x 2
110 x 2
120 x 2
130 x 2
140 x 2 for 2 sets
split jerk
60 kilo x 8 warm-up overhead press
120 kilos x 2
140 x 2
160 x 2
170 x 2
180 x 2
190 x 1
heavy shrugs
315 x 10
405 x 10
495 x 10
585 x 10
635 x 10 hook grip

Only three exercises but trust me this is intense work, and more weight than I should be doing...Again my joints and back were feeling good, but I will probably pay for this over the next two weeks or so. Recovery is definitely improved between sets, and I felt explosive today, good stuff.

in on this, and yeah... i don't think anyone could doubt your intensity.
 
Today was back, went with light clean pulls and some aux work

clean pulls with explosion
120 kilos x 4
140 x 4
160 x 4 for 2 sets
weighted pull-ups
BW + 45 for 4 sets of 10
hypers
BW 4 x 10
seated cable row
stack plus rigged 90lbs

eh, ok routine today, back is bothering me...figures. I'm feeling good, endurance during sets seems to have improved some, recovery is still up as well. Libido is also way up:) So far Blue Gene is a solid natty product, I'm liking it.

Still a great routine despite a little back trouble.

Heating pad usually works well for me
 
subbed in a lil late, but curious as to your thoughts on Blue Gene so far? I'll be trying it out in a few weeks. Great log so far!
 
So lets see my energy and libido has maintained at a high level, gotta love that:)

Training, Friday was chest, didn't do legs this week and took Thursday off for some extra/needed rest.

Chest workout
I was following 5/3/1 for my chest routine, switched back to my own routine for a bit
135 x 12
225 x 2
275 x 2
315 x 2
365 x 1
405 x 1
495 x 1
515 x 1
525 x 2 for two sets
close-grip
315 x 8 for 3 sets
dips w/bands (yellow)
explosive reps, concentrate on controlled neg 2 seconds
db flys
heavy 140's 3 sets of 6

Good workout, changed things up from what I was doing. Will probably get back into working with bands/chains, and drop weights. It's how I roll, I like to change things up and have fun.
I'm off until Monday, but will probably do some caber tosses tomorrow and some mobility work. Strength is good, not overly apparent, but my joints are feeling decent and my recovery from training is better.
 
Weighed in this morning at 292. My shoulder is killing me, not sure why it's a new pain...Anyway I deload this week so I decided to hit the hammer machines as opposed to free weights. Something I rarely and hate doing, but nonetheless it must be done. So far I have liked Blue Gene, I get a good boost in mood, and libido, coupled with an increase in recovery. Unfortunately this time around the Cissus doesn't seem to be helping as much as it has in the past, granted I haven't used it in quite some time.

Shoulder pains suck! Hopefully it doesn't nag you for long...

BG seems pretty damn good so far. Kinda wish I had it in my CL product log right now.

Ya, didn't train today or yesterday, I can't afford another chronic injury.
I'm liking Blue Gene, my recovery is definitely better, libido is up and it gives me a nice sense of well being. Unfortunately can't gauge strength real well right now, but it looks like ideally an 8 week or 12 week run would be best.

good info here
 
I'm off until Monday, will be back on my usual routine and expect to go up in my scheduled weight increases.
 
So, my shoulder had been bugging me more than usual and I ended up going to the doc yesterday and it turns out I tore the labrum. It isn't too severe, but I can't train for some time. Anyway I was at the end of the Blue Gene and I gotta say that I like the product. I wasn't overly impressed with my strength, but I also hadn't pushed it. Recovery was improved, and my libido was off the charts, also had a sense of well being while taking Blue Gene.
 
sorry to hear about the injury. this is why i typically don't try to push big weight. it always comes back to bite me.
 
sucks about the injury its good you enjoyed your run with blue gene though.I wish you a speedy recovery.
