Okay I need to update quickly here and get off to spend time with the wife. I had an amazing workout today and really pushed myself.
Supps - EndoSurge 2 caps pre workout, 2 caps post workout about 30-45 minutes before attacking food to set up nice anabolic scenario. N.O. Ignite 1.5 scoops 30-45 minute pre workout. Whatever was in it bothering me before is not any longer as far as the nausea. Very happy about that because the pumps are awesome and energy is smooth.
The workout
Push Press w/ Thick Bar- 105x8, 145x8,165x8 > 145x5 > 105x3 last drop was only Military press no leg involved just to keep things safe. I AM VERY PLEASED with 165x8 first time out on these.
Nautilus Machine Pull Over - 87.5x15, 100x15, 112.5x15 > 87.5 x10 > 62.5 x15 - Oh man I love this machine. Nice burn, too bad my normal gym doesn't have one. Oh well EZ Bar or DB pullovers when at the other gym....
DB Incline Bench - 65x12, 80x12 > 65x5 > 40x3 - Those push press had my shoulders whooped. I do these at about a 30 degree to hit more chest, but still was beastly and I was looking like a stud with the pumps I was sporting by the end of them.
Alternating DB Curls Neutral rotating up to supinated grip - 45x7 > 35x5 > 20x5 - Holy Burning Biceps Batman! Do you have a hose on your utility belt??? We have got to put these things out!
Skull Crushers - 90x8 > 60x5> to close grip triceps press 65x10 - Man these felt great, I decided it was safer to drop the bar to my chest and do CGP for the final burnout since I do my skull crushers with elbows back at 45 degree angle so gravity is at its peak at the lockout. That and that angle really smashes the 3rd head of them yet it is a precarious position to burn out in. For the press burnout, I more let my forearms fold down into the press than just pressing it. I do this to accentuate triceps instead of chest or shoulder involvement.
Deads with thick bar - 225x8, 325x8 for 3 sets - reps were slow both up and down. The thick bar was a beast on my grip once again, however I really enjoyed slowing the movement down and really working the musculature involved.
Leg Ext - 230x12 > 170x6 > 110x7 Well if I thought my biceps were burning earlier then this was at least a 3-4 alarm fire this time.
Sauna time various stretches for my entire body and held for 30 seconds each and repeated 3 times. Needless to say I stretched the entire 15 minutes I was in there.
So far I have easily consume 2600-2800 cals today and will more than likely approach 4000 today. More carbs I have a long day in the sun tomorrow and the extra carbs should help me with hydration. I sweat during the workout like a beast, shirt was wet and towel was already wet from wiping myself down throughout. I don't like to leave sweat on the machines for others. It is a peeve of mine so I am careful about it.
THIS is where I will be tomorrow with my wife and two boys.

Awesome Bro, I know it will be a good Log, did you see the nice picture that LittleGreen posted presenting the Logging care package we sent, very nice set up, really showcased our products nicely! Anyway, very happy to hook both of your Gal's up, with you guys backing them up I have absolutely no worries, not to mention we need more female input & Logs on this forum, I believe it is definitely a win-win all around, not to mention, what I like about running a LOG personally... it keeps me accountable for what I am doing, because anyone can claim this, that or the other, but when you are posting workouts, diet, stats, and pictures to back it all up, if you are just BULL$HITTING... everyone will know, and really, for the bull$hitter's out there, they are really only bull$hitting themselves! Anyway, I'll step down off my soap box now and see glad to have KleensQueen doing a LOG for us, it is our pleasure here from FINAFLEX!!!
Oh there will be pics! You will get to see the lovely lady AND her cool ink.
Was that a "role models" quote about bullish!ters. Doc, you always send enough gear and literature to set up an awesome pic! We thank you again.
No but I love that scene!
Whoa... don't get me wrong, the numbers are awesome too, I Love them, but when there is a picture that can back them up, one without the other makes for a half-a$$ Log in my opinion, but if I had to to chose one over the other, at least the pictures don't lie! The only thing about pictures is they can be taken out of context, for example you can't always tell how tall someone is in a picture, I mean they can sometimes be very misleading based on person's height, build, how lean they are, angles and shadowing, etc.
Anyone want to take a gander at my stats in this picture, obviously everyone knows I'm 6'2" so that takes one thing out of the equation, but what is my body weight & body fat?
Weight - 0 lbs no gravity where you are that physique is out of this world...
Hahahah... Try 183Lbs at 4.6% body fat, the day before 2008 Halloween when I went as the "Silver Surfer" See what I mean, how the right picture can totally misconceive, which is why I think it is so important to have both numbers/stats & pictures to back one another up and to truly allow people to compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges... In short, keeps it REAL!!!
Pics huh, I guess I will do some more next weekend.
Yes this is why I am posting up pics of myself. Yes I may have been in shape at one time. But over time I became a fat A$$. Was it embarrassing to post pics of me at 1lb shy of 300 absolutely. But like you say we are all here to help each other. I may have had knowledge of how to do this or that and never ever thought I would let me self go to the point I got. But now I am back and have been showing myself and others via pics both the bad and the new. That way nobody can second guess my transformation and to show those whom are big like I was that it can be done.
What self respecting man would put himself up at 1 lb shy of 300! Damnit man you shuld have gained another lb for 300!
You have made me proud...
Dang Doc I was at the same weight as you in this picture but no where near as muscular. And I am only 5'9"

Two words, crap that was two words oh well...
Okay Okay, the two words are Bone Structure. That and body fat percentage you were probably about 8-9 in your pic. Al looks to have smaller joints like I do. That means smaller bones and weighing less but looking heavier.
