Kicking it up a notch with Finaflex Stumul8/BCAA SAA

Ya 2 scoops of Stimul8 would be a bit shocking to the system.

Know how you feel Kat. Debating with myself to have an extra rest day (Xmas Day) or skip the one tomorrow so my next rest day just falls on Xmas day.

You can feel 1/3 of a scoop of PWO 4 hours later!?!? Hell I take 2 full scoops and I don't notice anything at all!!! (I'm a bit of a caffeine junkie)

Just when taking it fasted! I took 1 scoop in the past and it was just right but somehow 1/3 a scoop is plenty now! Stimul8 is by far the strongest pwo I've ever taken though! If you take 2 servings topically, then it would be perfect for you!!

Although it's mentally hard, we have to remember the rest does us good! Allows us to come back even harder!...I will be off for almost a week! 0.o Might have to do some pull ups, dips, sprints and such at the local park while traveling! Lol
 
Very good work in here Kat. Always fun to see how well you are doing!
 
Your squat volume is just insane. Nice work Kat.

I heard you lose 97.213% of all gains earned over the previous six months if you take consecutive days off. ;)

Thanks Thomas! My legs are screaming at me right now! They forgot what high volume was like! Lol

So that's what happens to my gains??!! Hmm ;)
 
I was unable to train this morning due to my son waking up at 4:30 throwing up for the 2nd day in a row. He doing much better now though.

Managed to squeeze in a quick 35-45 min workout after work since little man was feeling better! It was a little crowded so I kept loosing my spots when supersetting.

Took 1/2 a scoop on the way to the gym, got there a realized I forgot my bag with my clothes. So, I drove to the house and changed. By the time I got back to the gym I was sooooooo ready to go and get at it! Lol

Merry Christmas everyone! Got in my last workout before our trip. We leave early Friday morning. No throwing up this morning- just sweet good morning cuddles! Oh, if they'd just wouldn't grow up so fast!

Started off with great energy and left utterly exhausted! Felt like I hit the wall multiple times! Pushed through though! There were a lot of guys there today and most of them using the squat racks. So I had to adjust my plan of starting with squats. I went with arms first.

Mixed up 1/3 a scoop but didn't even need it all as usual!...did sip on it as I was hitting walls! Helped me push through!!

Thank you Thomas! ...what video? Lol Maybe that's why it won't load! ;)
 
Just wanted to drop in...I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! We made it to Arkansas to my parents house about 8:30 last night. We will be here until Monday. I already feel like a fat slob! Lol Diet is pretty much out the window- just going to enjoy myself without going crazy. I'll hit it hard once we get back to town.

Funny thing, last night my mom asked "so why are you deadlifting 145lbs?" Me- "it was actually 205lbs" Lil sis "well, I think it's cool" Mom- "you're going to hurt yourself" me- "no, Mom, if I do it right I won't hurt myself! It will actually strengthen the muscles so I don't hurt myself doing every day things"

Gotta love all of the conversations about the "odd" life we live! Lol Both of my parents are young but have poor health- that is one of my biggest motivations to push harder!!
 
The holidays are a hard time to eat right, Enjoy yourself and we will all be Hitt'in hard come the New Year !!

Thanks Rocket! I'm back home and will be back at the gym tomorrow! Can't wait!! I planned on doing some fun training with the kids/little cousins while on our trip but it RAINED EVERY DAY!! :( So while we were stuck inside, we had a sit up and push-up contest! Haha Then on the way back, we stay at a hotel with an indoor water park. Got plenty of stair climbing in as we rode the slides over and over and over! It was a blast!
 
Kat, Glad you and the family had a good time, Have a Great New Year !!

Great Work out and Video, I like the one guy checking you out as he walked by. (I would do the same thing)
 
Just always a machine in here. You never let us down that's for sure!
Great job on those squats too!
We need video proof of that butt cramp...
 
Nice squatting Kat! You look strong as ****!

Haha thanks Rocket! He was actually telling me tI keep up the great work...he sat down on the bench beside me asking if I was a powerlifter and talking about our progress. He does strong man competitions. I was very nervous squatting beside him as he watched ever move very closely! He was squatting over 400 at one point.
