I've been following, just kinda all over the place and check at work a lot so it is hard to always respond...
Workouts look OK? What about tomorrow back/bi routine? Should I really be doing all of those rows? Or maybe pick like 2 of them?This has been an amazing log, amazing updates and pics, really shocked not more people are in on this log, a bunch of lurkers out there tho lol
Keep up the good work man!
Yea I figured. A ton of rows. Think I'll pick a few and rotate them around each week. I like that plan! I've actually never done bent over rows or the T-Bar rows so I'm gonna hafta watch some youtube vids on form firstIm a row fanatic man! I love over doing rows! Looking up that is a bit much on back tho. Try rotating your rows weekly or monthly rather then that high of volume.

And my legs are suffering from DOMS big time. I tried foam rolling them today and it only helped a little. I'm thinking about getting a massage tomorrow after the gym to help with that. I remember when I first started powerlifting my legs felt just like this. Took them like a month to get used to the routine!

Oh btw I've cracked open that second Lico bottle
Really ? Don't see the difference in chest, upper abs and shoulders ? Maybe you are expecting too much ?Cant see no diff at all tbh, keep it up though respect for posting pics
AgreedThere is a definite difference in the chest and lower abs. Great work so far and very impressive for a natty test booster/AI that has only been run for 3 weeks.
I find the abs and waist look leaner for sure.Thanks fellas. MiniArnold I'm gonna have to prove you wrong !
Going to do back/biceps here in a bit. Gotta call the massage place and see if they can fit me in today.
No HOMOI find the abs and waist look leaner for sure.

Off day today fellas. I accidently took 3 Lico this morning when I woke up... noticed a very strange feeling in my arms/chest. You know sometimes when you do cardio and go real hard, and then you suddenly stop, and you can feel your heart beating in your chest and feel the blood pumping through your arms? It was kind of like that, but instead of a nice solid flow of blood it felt like it was almost like someone was squeezing a washrag and it was being forcefully pushed through my arms and chest, but very slowly. Not so much to the tune of the heartbeat, but at a much slower pace. Didn't hurt or anything, just felt weird. Like I could literally feel the nutrients flowing around to the muscle. I kind of liked it Nothing new to add in today. I had to take some stuff out of my fiance's house and put it into my car to take it to a dumpset and I caught glimpses of my reflection off of the car window and I must say I think I've noticed quite the improvements to my body's physique. Looks slightly more cut and developed than before. Picture Friday. Titanium XL and Div1 are about to run out so I will be getting a blood test here at the end of the week and see how that good ol' testosterone looks. I may go hit up the Shoulders tomorrow but I put myself down for OT tomorrow night so I'm not sure if I want to sacrifice the sleep or not. We'll see how I feel when I get up at 2PM tomorrow afternoon !
Stay tuned!

JD maybe that was a bad way for me to describe it. I know its not anything bad OK think of it like this... Lets say something startles you or you are suddenly surprised. Like when you round a corner and you think to yourself "there won't be anyone right around this corner I won't barrel someone over" and you round the corner and BOOM someone is actually there and you almost collide with the person... what happens? A huge surge of adrenaline bursts through your body all at once. LOL we've all had that feeling I'm sure. It was kind of like that, but MUCH slower... like a coarsing feeling. It was kind of soothing actually. I didn't feel tense or worried about it. That was allI'd maybe go get that checked, I've never felt like that from running, like I've had the heavy heartbeat in the chest, but not through the arms or how you described it lol.
Yeah not sure whats going on, they seem to be doing a lot of updates, I've noticed a lot of posts seem to be missing on the forum, my pm's have been getting deleted too.
Hmm that's a good question. I'm on phone now heading to gym so when I get to work (if I don't get called off) ill tally that up. Stay tuned boys.ahaha pretty sure thats not a good feeling to get after a run! lol
Can't wait to see how this turns out, hows many days have you been on lico now?
I love it. Mixability factor is amazing. Throw it in a shaker cup and give is a few gyrations and you are good to go. Doesn't settle out unless you leave it sitting for minutes at a time which I always down mine immediately. Know what I love more though? The taste! A lot of people complain that most DAA powders are very bland and hard to take on their own. Not formula-x. I know it says pink lemonade on the label but it tastes to me more like a "diet" or light pink lemonade. Wish it was a tad sweeter but when you look at the label that's nothing compared to the great profile that it has. More than just your bcaasHey DJ, how do you like the easy mixing with Formula-X? I havn't seen an 8:1:1 BCAA ratio mix so damn quick like Formula-X. I'm drinking some now lol
So I looked it up. If I get bloods drawn Thursday it'll be 30 days on the nose, but I'll still have about 1/2-3/4 the second bottle of Lico left to take. And I will continue to do so because it is delicious Bloods will be drawn tomorrow after I wake up! Got the recquisition in hand!ahaha pretty sure thats not a good feeling to get after a run! lol
Can't wait to see how this turns out, hows many days have you been on lico now?
Oh man it was fantastic. I think shoulders are my favorite days. I hate leg days, but the last one I had went really well so who knows. I love it allNice workout!
Haha yea figured he'd like it! lolHoly Punja like. Great job !
