The ACE RIPS UP with PES and SS!

Imagine trying it after 5 weeks! That's how it will be for me in May!

MS mixed with alphamine completely kills my appetite. Which is odd because when I use them separately I don't get so much suppression.

I do not suggest mixing more than 1 scoop with just half a tab to gauge your tolerance.

I get good appetite suppression from alphamine with my pre breakfast dose. Makes me not want to eat. Seeing as i've been using this one tub for about three Weeks with On average ten to twelve scoops a week i'm thinking I probably have another two or three Weeks left, and in which case I'll start adding the ms in.
I'll probably keep my dosing the same, only dosing on low carb days,
 
Roughly 194lb this morning that makes a pound lost last week.

I did eat nearly 4500 calories Monday thru Thursday, and roughly 2200 Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

For eating that big i'm happy with a pound

Legs and abs tighter for sure

Thanks man !

I've been lifting for about nine years, started freshman year in highschool at 5'6" 105 now 5'8" roughly 194. It's been a long journey but I absolutely love training and will do it until the day I die

And just stick to it, be consistent year round, train hard eat big you'll be 200 before you know it

Well that is some incredible progress! Keep killing it. 200 and shredded is right around the corner. Glad you have found PES to help with those goals! :)

I mean I don't think I'll ever hit 200 on stage if I stay natty but 200@10% is attainable,I just have to realize that might take a few years.

That would probably be around 175 on stage.

It would be nice to step on stage around 175, right at the top of the middles, that would be twenty pounds of stage weight from 154.25 in sept 2011.

When i think about that, i realize that might be a good 3-4 yr goal
Five pounds of stage weight in a year is more than people realize
 
04/18
back RR
Started with pullups, Orange average EFS band assisted
3/1/3/1
4x8-10
Moved my grip inwards each set, ending with close neutral grip.

low cable pulley supinated rows 3/2/3/1
130x3x12

chest supported row 3/2/3/1
145 x 12,
90x2x15

reverse hyper 3/1/3/1 (slow negatives and positives on these are damn near impossible)

the 45 degree were crazy going slow as well, low back pump. ouch.



04/22 Shock legs

Leg extension super set front squats
both in a piston like motion, the extensions hard contraction at top. went really light on front squats, ab fibers still torn.
120x18 // 135 x 15
140x12 // 135 x 15
140 x 12// 135x15

rest between these two movements was a ten foot walk from the extension to the power rack. rest between sets here was about thirty seconds.. PUMP city. My quads were so full of blood they hurt. I tried to do some DC style stretching, but I only made it thirty seconds, far too damn painful.

DB SLDL ss Lying Leg curl
again piston motion, slow negatives on the SLDL
40x3x20 // 50x3x20

Walking lunges.
One drop set.

delt trifecta
rear delt rasies, followed by lateral raises, followed by front raises
these were all done on the freemotion machine
15x3x30

all sets had about thirty seconds between rests

my pumps have been phenomenal because of this.


Looking very full in the mirror today and much leaner. Feeling good about this cut. Probably going to continue shooting for 1lb / week loss.

If i can lose between 8-10 lbs in the next eight weeks I think I'll be pretty lean by summer
Not ripped like bean or the rest of you guys, but maybe 10%?

Second set went from inside to middle to outside.
Last set I started inside, then middle, then outside, back to middle, and then inner.

Super set seated dips.. Machine was maxed out with the pin at twenty did five sets of ten..

Pulled my ham sprinting after this session.

Went to the Chiro the next morning, he did a.r.t on it, and it feels a lot better now.
After the treatment came home took 800mg ibu then heated it for about forty minutes and it felt brand new.

Currently heat is doing the trick.. hopefully I'll only have to skip legs for one week..


Yeah injuries suck, but i'm thinking I'll get out of this one stronger than before. I figure I'll start hitting them twice a week when I can and do a lot more unilateral work.

I mean hey tearing my pec did my physique some good, I quit pressing and began hitting back two to three times a week and not only am I thicker than i've ever been, my shoulders feel better than ever, and they have gained quite some size


Either way I'll stay positive. Injuries happen
 
Did morning cardio the past two days, going to do it tomorrow as well.

Slowly leaning up, but would like to lean up faster.

Going to start doing morning cardio three to four times a week, on my work days, and once on arm days. Once my hamstring heals up I'll add in sprints again. For now i'm keeping it liss though.
 
I like the way you have your mind set with your injury. Do not want to push to hard and re aggravate it. Sticking to LISS for now is a great option and is what I would do as well.

Damn, that is some bad luck for sure.
 
Yeah well getting hurt is just a part of the game. If you never get hurt you're probably not training very hard.

Dave Tate has had about thirty pec strains , multiple rotator cuff surgeries, torn calves, torn groin, etc.. As far as i'm concerned, i'm not hurt at all

I agree. Can't wait to get my alphamine in!! It's been way too long!

It's good to be back bro!
 
I saw the Chiro today and he was very surprised at how much better my hamstring was than the first day he worked on it.

He also said there was no bruising, and that I should be nearly back to normal within two Weeks.

I've been hitting the liss walks, heat, ibuprofen, foam rolling, and compression, and it's paying off.

As I suspected, the Dr's orders were some unilateral work; consisting of one legged sldl, no weight for
now.

I believe these and heavy rear elevated split squats (not sure what they're called) will bring me back stronger than ever, hitting PRs on the squat and dead when I'm back at it.

For now i'm going to
Keep on training everything else as is & just keep it lighter for now, staying off the hamstrings.

I was helping this girl squat yesterday, and watching her sit back on the box gave me a throbbing chubby. Was on my way to full mast, but I walked away and regained my cool.


Idk if I've ever popped a boner in the gym before.

Going to train rep range upper today
 
05/07/13
Rep range upper

Slight incline bench chest supported cambered BB row (~25° incline)
165x4x12
superset w/
Slight incline dumbbell press
[used three mats, a little more than one plate but less than two, roughly 20°)
75x10
80x8
85x2x7
80x7

Tempo of 2/1/2/2

45° incline dumbbell
65x3x10
60x12 -> 40x8
Arrow represents dropset

Super set with one arm dumbbell rear delt rows
20x4x20

Tempo for press (from the top) 3/1/2/2
Tempo of row from bottom 3/2/3/1

Finished chest with two sets of the bandell bar, two ten pound Kb dangling per side 40 reps each set

Swiss bar pulldowns
Starting with the outer most grip and moving in one each time
120 x12
100x12
80x12
Superset
Seated dumbbell laterals
30x2x20
First two sets with fifteen partials out of the bottom
30x20->20x15->15x20

I started rest periods about 2 minutes and steadily decreased it to about one minute by the end

Finished with thirteen prowler pushes. no weight added.
First eight I alternated between the two different handle options, using the weight posts at about shoulder height then the low handles that are on the front parallel to the ground mid shin level.

Push it twenty feet, then walk back as my partner sprinted it the twenty feet back.

I planned to do twenty but my hamstring felt tight on the final one.

I purposely kept my stride short on these, and tried not to be explosive to be easy on the hammy

also, weighing 191 Monday morning, visible separation in quads, abs sharper
... the alphamine stacked with ms dries me out quickly when I keep it super clean

Also i'm going to drop out creatine see if that makes a difference

Keeping my off days simple. Start with one scoop alphamine one half tab ms.
Do about thirty minutes LISS fast paced walk. (fasted)

Morning cardio is a great way to start my day..

Today was my first time in a month and a half using that combo. I went with 1/2 ms with 2 scoops alphamine but easily could have done just 1/2 ms with 1-1.5. What a rush I had today in the gym! Super setting everything and hardly resting between sets. The sweat was just pouring today as well.
