I'd say they're around 70-80 grams a day. I'm not sure if you'd consider that low or medium. I use olive oil, natural peanut butter, almonds. And what's in the beef, eggs, and other meats.

That's a pretty acceptable amount IMO. On the lower side. I try not to dip below 70-80gs unless Im doing it to test something...or run some different protocol I find lol.

I know, I wish I could up it 50 times every session haha. my rear delts and back over all are exploding and growing so fast. my chest has come back fast too. same with tris. bis are slow, front delts are slow, shoulders are okay.
I like to eat around 25-30-45 splits of fat, carbs, protein when I am cutting. then a 20- 40- 40 when I recomp, and when I bulk well I dont really watch but its probably close to 30-40-30

Yea.. i think my problem is i don't really like fats... just the taste of most stuff.. only thing i enjoy is PB i'm gonna bump the olive oil that i do 1tbsp each meal that will bring it to about 100g..I'll probably wait till end of this week to see if weight changes first but that's gonna be the addition
That's great man! Glad to hear everythings going up well! The other muscle will catch up i'm sure. Feels good to be back in there i bet

Quads!
Had a really good quad session today. Started out with calves did angled raise for 4 sets and seated raises 4 sets
Leg ext (warm ups) 4 sets 12-20 reps.
Squats 135 x 20, 225 x 16, 315 x 12, 405 x 10
Leg press 8 plates x 25, 12 plates x 20, 18 plates x 16, 22 plates x 15
one leg ext 3 sets 15 alternating legs non stop till finished.
First time i've done free weight squats in about 8 months.. i use the smith a lot. For me the smith is a way to focus more on quads and i can keep my low back from pumping up. But they felt very good today i was able to stay right under the bar and sink them a tad below parallel, back was only moderatly tight after 4th set. Starting to feel really strong on leg press too thats the most plates i've done AFTER squats, pretty happy with that.

I think in the begining i was doing 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 pyrimids...I just wanted to move the heaviest weights possible... High school weightlifting.
I think i adopted more traditional bodybuilding training about 5 years ago. BUt i had solid power and form to base it off of.. i think that helped me.

I am sure I could dead a crap right now still but I don't think my hip and SI joint would like it. I was just talkin with my buddy the other night who works at another gym and we came to the same conclusion. My muscles are strong enough I just need to make sure my joints and tendons are all good. Soon man soon.

V-bar press down 80 x 20, 120 x 16, 150 x 12, 175 x 12 (had to pin a 25 to the stack lol, it's a light one but looked cool)
rope curls 50 x 20, 80 x 16, 120 x 12, 140 x 10
Skullcrushers 55 x 20 (testing elbow) 75 x 20, 85 x 16, 95 x 14

I got my ERGO-BLITZ today!!! First trial will be tomorrow on back! I get pretty intense pumps in my back as it is so this should be fun!
Hamstrings today. I love that fullness feel. I had 200grams of carbs before i even got to the gym (1 meal and a carb drink) lol but i swear Cabergolean drives it straight into muscle my hams were so full and pumped i was walking kind of like a flamingo(sp) idk if that's the right discription but i felt like i looked absurd... but hey my hams are growing there's no doubt about that

What's up guys.. figured i'd give a bw update. been between 215-218 this week so up about 20-25 pounds since contest and conditioning's staying right where it needs too. Bulking is def under way weight should keep climbing. Adding ERGO-BLITZ in today i think the increased recovery and protein synthesis will add to the muscle growth for sure. No doubt that continuous growth pulse from Cabergolean is contributing as well.

Day 1 of ERGO-BLITZ pumps were great and noticed the resistance to fatigue right away i usually feel pretty cashed after my 3rd back exercise but felt strong all the way throu the 4th today, here's how the workout went:
Started out w/ pull ups and pumped up FAST ..after 4 sets went on to the t-bars and rowed 6 plates and a quarter for 8 reps today on my last set. I think i would have got ten but had to re-postion my feet after first couple reps, but still my best ever on the exercise. Finished w/ DB rows last set 140's x 10 def a PR and haven't done them in awhile. On DB rows is i noticed the ERGO-BLITZ the most. My lats from top to bottom and mid back were extremely full of blood.

Thanks bro i was 221 after training today and i was sweating buckets today. Hope the ERGO-BLITZ addition helps boost weight.
Here's a theory: taking the Cabergolean and ERGO-BLITZ obviously gives use wicked ass pumps and blood flow to tissues so we're getting awesome nutrient delivery... now with ERGO having the leucine in it we're starting the recovery process so to speak during the session and those aminos (in theory) are probably headed straight to the muscles we're training...SOOOO when we pound down a shake post training our body is primed to take those nutrients right to the muscles we trained b/c it was already flooding those muscle with aminos. thus better recovery nutrient aborbtion and ultimatily growth...
Thoughts??

Yes, that is the idea. The science behind BCAA's has been reintroduced so many times in this forums..and every forum...that I will not bore people with the abstracts, but yes I definitely wanted a powerful nitric oxide booster that included BCAA's and Glutamine for that very reason SizeUp.
There are only a few supplements out there that include BCAA's, Glutamine and a nitric oxide boosting complex. These are usually two different products. Why? It's freaking expensive that's why. We used NADH in our NO booster to aid in the conversion of arginine to NO. Why? See below.
Invalid Link Removed
So with a industry best NO boosting complex (in our opinion) and the added BCAA's and Glutamine, I truly felt this could be the best intra-workout drink EVER created. EVER!!! And at $14 and change if you are an AM.com member???? This is legitimately the biggest no-brainer in the history of supplements!
PP may have created the "greatest steroids ever" well we truly believe we have created the greatest intra-workout drink and HGH booster ever. EVER!
But only time (and the scale) will truly verify that claim.

I know what you mean. but I love those days in the gym when I grab a 45 to curl and it feels like cake, or walk over with 90s to do presses or rows and I know that a year ago I was doing them with 45s or 50s. and I look around at the other guys my size and they aren't doing anything, and I know that all my hard work has paid off. and if someone is lifting more than me it motivated me to get even bigger.
