Nice looking pre you got there buddy. I've been missing ArA all week. Thankfully its finally coming via Priority Mail on Monday. I'm gonna see how this bottle works for a recomp/cut.
DJBeanPole said:So if I remember correctly I need to stop taking fish oil during the ArA run... and when do I take the GMS (Glycergrow)? All at the same time with everything else? Slightly beforehand? What about off days (no ArA)?![]()
You don't necessarily have to stop the fish oil, but it was recommended to me. If you continue to use it, just try to take it as far away from ArA dosing as possible. I always took my GMS within a couple mins of ArA dosing. I tried different timing (before/with/after), but didn't notice any change in effects. You don't need to take it on off days. I've used mine strictly with ArA, but it can help with pumps/fullness on its own.

So what's happening mirror wise bud?

CURRENT WEIGHT: 235lbs
Lucky winner of the day for preworkout was MusclePharm's Assault. I just played the mystery crane/claw game and stuck my hand in the bag of samples and whatever came out... thats what I took. Can't say I was too impressed. Low energy, no focus, mediocre taste
DEADLIFT: 135x10 185x6 225x6 275x5 (felt heavy!) 315x3 350x1 185x6,7,6 135x10
UNDERHAND GRIP PULLDOWNS: weight ea. hand 85x10,10,10,10 immediate dropset to...
LAT CABLE PULLDOWNS: 120x6 100x8 75x10 55x12 rapid succession between sets
SEATED CLOSE GRIP ROW: 120x8,8,8,7
ONE-ARM DB ROW: 55x10,10,10,7
BENT OVER ROW: 65x10,10,10,10 rest/pause for the stretch+squeeze with each rep 1:2:1 rhythm
STERNUM-UPS: BWx3,1,2,2
LAT SHRUGS: Pull-up Station BWx12,16 Dip Station BWx20,10
HAMMER CURL: 45x8,5+3@40 40x8,8L/7R
INCLINE DB CURL: 25x8, 5+3@20 20x6,8 I thought my biceps were going to EXPLODE they were so pumped
STANDING DB CURL: 30x4 LOL nope the pump was too much... 15x10,10
Was happy about getting that 350x1 deadlift. I was scared because 275 felt SO heavy and I almost had trouble with the last 2 reps. 315 was a breeze so I knew it was time to test the waters. Felt great. Spent a helluva lot more time in the gym than I meant to because someone ended up chatting me up about my deadlift form because they wanted to see if they were doing it correctly. Kinda took me outta the zone but I like to be helpful.
Stay tuned,

Personal preference. I'll go more into that when I get done at the gym. Just pulled up.
Heading to gym now for some chest/tri action. NO-Xplod v2 was selected from the mystery claw game today. Tasted just how I remember, effervescent or not! Beta alanine tingling already. We'll see how it holds up. These preworkout products are so strange. I'm so used to agmatine for pumps but none of the previous 2 sample packets I've tried incorporates it (I still see the L-Arginine in them). I love me some pump so we'll see...
DAY 39: CHEST/TRIS
DB BENCHPRESS: weight ea. hand 40x15 60x12 85x8,8,8,8

SKULLCRUSHERS: 65x8,7 55x10,12
TRICEP ROPE SEPARATION: 50x10,10,10,10
Only one PR today. I blame two things. Myself for not giving myself a day of rest from doing Back/Bis yesterday and second my ****ty preworkout! NO-XPlod v2 sucked! I didn't feel a damn thing! Some beta-alanine sensitivity at the beginning that faded and a lack of energy towards the end of the workout. Disappointed. I miss you, SpeedX3
Stay tuned,
DJ
Definitely making progress Bro. Just one question...why do you keep your Dead lift on the Upper body day :blink:??
I kinda like the claw game that you are playing.
Your own fault for drinking powdered sh1t Dave, I have taught you better than to have NO Xplode haha. (half kidding, half serious).

Do elaborate please Marms, I have not grasped the meaning of this sentence at all.

I have always done them on back day for as long as I can remember. But ever since their incorporation into my workouts I was using the wrong form which always involved more of my back. Now that I've changed things up I can see how they would be suited for leg day because my quads definitely got sore after doing them for awhile. However, I find my leg day to be taxing enough. Between squats, front squats, and leg press I don't think I'd be able to managed adding deadlifts in. Even if I did, they would be SLDL instead of conventional which is beneficial for the use of the lower posterior chain. I've just gotten used to it as part of my back routine!![]()
His sticking his hand in the bag of samples to see what pwo he will use for that day.

Just my metaphor for how I'm choosing what preworkout to useI literally have them all sitting in a plastic bag and I don't look when I stick my hand in there so it literally IS a claw game
just like the ones you see in Walmart!
This would not work with prodigy samples since they are in the little bottles you would know what you are picking.

Well, I stole it from FB!!!
Dump them in Zip Lock Baggies and label them Prodigy, do that with all the other samples...thus it's fair.
