Isn't it amazing the kind of changes we can make with persistent effort?

Deadlifts explosive-

deadlifts from deficit-
350 x 5 sets x 2 reps

this moved a little slower than ideal

olympic pause squats-
210 x 2 sets x 8 reps

may have died on a third set

shrugs and band pull down super set

235 x 3 sets x 12 reps shrugs behind back
4 sets x 15 reps band ppull down

That was a wrap. Grueling workout today. Feel pretty strong though. Thinking about using either ssv2 or slintensity over the summer pre bed to see if I'm dry in the mornings. Thoughts?

They can help clear insulin from circulation and increase GH boost which should yield better sleep. Not a bad idea, particularly if you train later in the day.

I've actually tried it with both products, but only a couple of times. I was eating a ton of carbs and decided I'd be better off saving them for pre-meal use. I'm interested in your feedback if you give it a shot.

Give it a shot and see how it works for you. Many people have had success using that type of product in that manner.
 
Been busy.. didn't log a few workouts in here, but definitely got them in. Been doing with Versa-1 for a bit, but will be maxing on my lifts this weekend. Here's a photo that I think is a little more representative. I'll get a final review up eventually lol

Great work man! You're definitely looking leaner and showing more muscle definition compared to the previous picture.

Look forward to the review.
