Same here for the most part. Heavy deads are the only thing that make me sore now, everything else has gotten much easier.
Thanks man. Complex training can bitch but it has to be done.
Gotta love the Goblets. If you can breath, you might not be going heavy enough.

Day 22- 8/18/11
Adductor Machine- 5 sets (Forgot to pay attention to reps and
Abductor Machine- 4 sets weight on both of these.)
Seated Hamstring Curls- 4 sets (Again forgot to pay close attention but the last few sets were at 215 I think. Reps were in the 6-10 range)
SLDL- 135x10, 205x6, 205x6
OHS- 45x10, 45x10, 45x10
Scissors w/ 5lb ankle weights- 3x30
Deep Squat to 24" box jump- 2x5
Step-up to RDL- 24x10, 24x10, 24x10 //
Lunges- (x10)
Air Squats- 4x50
Treadmill- 15 min. 1.25 miles 134 cals.
Didn't feel the need to go heavy since I just did legs yesterday. Forgot to do a few things but I make it up tomorrow. Second wind comes quick and strong once I'm strating to get tired. Shin splints are the only thing bringing down my cardio which sucks knowing I could do more. Time to break out the resistance band and work on that. Noticing some more leaning out and strength is soild.

Been a while since I've benched but at least I still lift over BW, shoulder wasn't bugging me too much. It felt like I could do close to the whole stack with cable rows, strength was definitely on today even though I kept some of the weight light. Only one week left. Hoping to not have to take monday off but we'll be playing on turf again this sunday. No bueno.

Very pleased with the workout. I only started doing power cleans this past week and can already do my bodyweight. Db Snatches, I've never done before so I'm pretty happy those. Strength was great today, could've done more cardio this time around but I don't want to be drained for the scrimmage tomorrow. Shin splints/pumps weren't an issue. Again, very happy today.

Day 25- 8/21/11
Scrimmage.
Went ok. I started the play out of the back that lead to our lone goal, almost got in a fight the second half, all in all not too bad. Ended up losing 5-1 but it was our first time in a full 11 v 11 and first time seeing everyone together. Could really use a solid CB to command the back line and a true target forward to hold the ball. Some switches in the MF to utilize guys better.

Treadmill- Various inclines mostly for a calf workout.
Good workout. Despite lowering rest periods and adding more supersets strength is constant throughout. Power Push-ups were done by standing up 2 DB's. I'd say 12-14in. high. Weight listed on Hammer machines is per side, not total. Tomorrow is the last day. I'll post a final review within a few days of the final dose.

Power Cleans- 165x3, 185x3, 165x3
OHP- 115x5, 115x5, 135x5

Seated Calf Raises- 90x15, 90x15, 90x15 // Jumping Jacks w/ 40lb BB- (x20)
Push-ups- (x10)
Squats- (x10)
3x5 round sets. 1 min. rest.
Treadmill- Used ankle weights to again work on calves. No significant running.
That last circuit served as cardio. Forcing the blood from top to bottom makes you work a lot harder but makes recovery shorter in the long run. Sad to see this come to a close. I'll post a final review on Sunday after practice with thoughts on each product and the stack as a whole with a focus on Endosurge. Here's a sneak peak: It's good stuff.

FINAL REVIEW
I couldn't have asked for more during this 30 day run of Endosurge. Goals were met, strength is back where it needs to be and I leaned out a decent amount. Overall weight was up from 184 to 188, all lean. Running a T-booster along side is something I would highly recommend to really maximize the effects.
The strength gains were great on Endosurge. It seemed like the second set was easier than the first most times. Deadlifts went from 365x1 to 405x3. Damn near every other lift is also back up to par if not better than before. Only exception being chest exercises which, to be fair, I didn't make a priority. Everyday I walked out of the gym I felt strong as hell, not quite 'PH' strong but probably the closest you'll get staying natty. Run with an A.I. and you probably will feel close to on cycle.
Libido got a good boost. Didn't indulge in it too much though. Discipline.
Unfortunately I can't attribute too much of the leaning efects to Endosurge as I was taking Lean Extreme, Alphaburn, and RK. The latter two made me sweat like crazy. It literally felt like I had jumped in a pool. I also tweaked my training midway through and that's when I started to notice my leaning out more.
Overall I'd give Endosurge a 10/10. You get a massive dose of nettle, a mood and libdio boost, and great strength gains for 30 bucks. Compare that to other nettle products right now. Can't beat it.
