DIET REVIEW: Had to do bloodwork this morning, so i didn't make breakfast. Just brought some bran cereal
and protein shake with me in the car to eat after i left. Then i lunch I decided to keep that momentum going
and doing a healthy smoothie for lunch too. Definitely on point today.
WORKOUT REVIEW: My brother worked out with me today, and we just went nuts, doing this high intensity
circuit training / super set program that was non stop for 90 minutes, then did 30 minutes of cardio. Best feeling ever..!
SUPPLEMENT REVIEW: Im definitely liking this combo. Shred Ultra brings the heat and Riptide has me dry. I can't
drink enough water. Probably at least a gallon and half already today and the day is not over.
Tomorrow morning i will weigh in and take measurements & post up my Week 2 Wrap-up / Review :bigok:
Thx again AM Folks for all your support.. have a great weekend if i don't see you on here till Monday...!

WORKOUT TODAY: Legs & Cardio
All Exercises today were done with 30 seconds between sets with no rest.
I did 20-30 seconds of HIIT doing Step Ups to 130bpm music.
HS Leg Raises - 4 sets of 15 reps @ 80lbs

DIET REVIEW: Decided to replace breakfast today and tomorrow with a shake. Want to keep
carbs to a minimum the last 2 days before weigh in on Saturday.
WORKOUT REVIEW: Legs are definitely starting to feel the effects of all the Step Ups I've
been doing lately. Calves always seem sore.
SUPPLEMENT REVIEW: Move my 2nd dose of Shred Ultra up earlier in the day to 1pm, because
taking it around 4pm, then having more caffeine with dinner, was keeping me up too late. Shred Ultra is
definitely keeping my hunger at bay. I wasn't able to get some lunch until 1pm today, and i wasn't even
hungry really. And i ate my breakfast shake around 8am. Tomorrow will be my last full day of Riptide. I have
about 5 or 6 capsules left and will probably finish them out so i can be drained for my Saturday weigh in.
Have a good night AM peeps...! :bigok:
Nice leg workout brother
Thanks bro. Im actually really strong on legs, its one of my strongest body parts.
This past year I was going rather heavy especially on Leg Press, and would have
a max out day about every 3 or 4 weeks. I would start with 1 plate on each side,
going all the way up to 10 plates per side, doing 10 reps per set, except on the last
set, usually only getting a 4 or 5 reps in.
I decided that my legs didnt need to get any bigger, nor did my knees need all the
abuse, so I've been working with lighter weights and higher reps and more sets.
Trying to get more definition in these things![]()
Looking forward to week 3 wrap-up. I know I keep saying it, but thanks for running such a detailed log.
This batch of logs as a whole has been one of my favorites to read through in quite a while.
I hear you brother. I feel have become a definite strong set, and i have been considering cutting back as well.
I just love the way it hits me when i do a heavy set of squats or leg press, so i cant give it up lol
