Yates - you've got Delts for days!

YW4, good to hear you are not wrecked from yesterdays lift. Like I said the soreness from the full body starts to wain around the 2 week mark then everything just feels worked the day after a session but not often full on DOMS.

It's been about a week since I switched to full body. No DOMS today either. Maybe it's the combo of the Epic Unleashed & my body adjusting well!!

Yah I have gotten off using these, Chris has some really good ones that I used to use often. This is what I am going to likely get into after contest to get things going again after my time off. Lots of ways these can be use though.

Long work day and my diet sucked. Got home late and couldn't meal prep for today. I really hope I can avoid this from happening too much, it's hard to find a meal that meets my diet away from home.
 
I went out with a girlfriend last night, and didn't get home until midnight (very rare for me). After only 4 hrs of sleep last night, I was dragging this morning. I got through my workout though. A few of the rest periods were a bit longer...but not too long.

Front squat with Db's
12.5x12x4

Bent over row
55x12x4

Decline bench
55x12x4

Side lunge with Db's
12.5x12x4

Upright row
20x12x4

Alternating Db curls
10x12x4

Bench dip w/feet up
12x4

My triceps are already feeling it from those dips. I'm curious to see how tomorrow will be. Hoping for another day where I'm sore, but not wrecked. My body seems to really be adjusting well to the full body workouts thus far!!

Any input would be appreciated

Try using 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil about 1 hour prior to your workout and you will find that you have more energy. MCT's are already in the form that they can be used for energy. They do not have to be converted like other forms of fat so once in the system they are easy energy comparable to carbs. It won't be the exact same but will flood your body with ketones which are used for energy when glycogen is low.

Also you told me to link up my Olympus UK log in here when I got it up. I just posted it here. Invalid Link Removed

They were killer. My program called for basic split squats (no foot up)...but dang they still worked my bum!!
Click to expand...

Yeah they get you no matter what. However the best bang for your bum is weighted hip thrusts. Actually Sprinting does wonders too!
 
Yep I am using a tablespoon or so every morning with my egg whites, energy is always good.

Nope. Will be an OL UK exclusive product after that. You will be able to get some, just not from Nutriverse

Today was superset day, and it marked the end of week 2 of the full body program. I'm still really enjoying the program & the full body workouts. Although I miss focusing on back squats & deadlifts more...it is pushing me outside of my comfort zone to try/do exercises I typically wouldn't!!

Was jacked out of my mind on amp citrate so this workout was a breeze. Ostarine is really starting to kick good and things are picking up! Thanks everyone who is here with us, I really appreciate all the love and advice. I'm really out of my comfort zone with my diet but I have had a lot of support from my AM family! Another month and the bulk is back on again...
 
Preworkouts get me through some workouts that seem impossible without them, I have to admit.

That AMP does kick ass! Good workout!
 
Looking good in here!! I get a bit scared to take pwo now. I have to leave it at home because I'll be tempted to drink it all day. I'd have more energy to train in the evening but I'll also be up all night.
