Kenpo vs BPS Elimistane

Good way to push through!

I just got back from DC, and lifted once in the hotel across the street. My travel was last-minute, so I couldn't get a room at the hotel where the conference was held. The hotel in my gym sucked ass, LOL. Luckily I have a Hilton Honors card and was able to use their gym, which actually had a barbell, bench, DBs up to about 120 or so. Only minus is that they had a Smith machine instead of a rack, so I had to do OHP by sitting on the bench and standing up with the weight ;) I only did one session there, as my next session is Squats.

Do you take any joint support, Ken? Sorry if you already told us and I missed it ;)
 
Still out of town but will be back at it Monday! I've been dosing Elimistane at 1 cap in the AM now for 12 days. All is well and I'm seeing some leaning out in the ab section. I feel good with no BP or GI issues. Can't tell if libido has improved as the wife is back in Ohio and I'm in California!

Hotel gyms are terrible! Glad you found the other gym. I'm taking iForce Joint Help plus glucosamine.

Yes, I keep fighting that 54 year old belly building issue (lol). I've been watching the carbs as they bloat me. Back to the iron tomorrow morning.

Taking an Amtrak train from San Diego to Anaheim then a cab to LAX airport. Heading home to Cleveland Ohio! Finally!

Day 15 of Elimistane thoughts:

1) Experiencing drying and hardening.
2) As expected, the joints are also but nothing that the joint support doesn't counteract.
3) Libido is up.
4) The "boys" are feeling that growing pain you feel while on a cycle. Interesting...
5) Appetite is decreasing and have to force myself to eat.
6) No performance increases noticed but feeling a little "alpha" lately. Have to watch this attitude while family is here for holidays!
 
So far I've lost about 2 lbs and 3/4 inch on the waist. Drying out nicely!

I agree with Simon on this! Especially if you aren't use to doing them. Body is learning all kinds of new muscle memory and that takes time.

Only on a Smith Machine (my Ironmaster). I'm using a raw bar in a cage now. Big difference and totally feels weird right now.

Great feedback.


Also, for squats. Its good you're doing them away from the smith. They're better that way.
 
I do similar light squats. I normally do 5x25. About 20 years ago, when I was in the Marine's, a swole 1stSgt told me to go high reps like that. Every once in a while, I'll go heavier, with lower reps, but my back screams in pain the following day. Lower weight is much easier on my lower back.

After calorie madness this Thanksgiving and the food coma I was in, Elimistane saved me! Well, kind of. I'm supposed to be bulking but this formulation is leaning me out. Dropped 3 lbs and waist decreased another 1/2 inch!

I agree! This is a cutting agent for sure as I'm down 5 lbs from the start of this log! I'm increasing calories to halt the loss but very happy with the waist reduction effect!!
