Just received my delivery of the capped form of Stimul8!
Going to try a two cap PWO tomorrow!!!
 
Sweet! Or ugh should I say hyped??!!
 
Just two my first two caps and I have to say it feels to be the same potency as a half scoop. Increased sweating and some skin flushing in the first 10 or so minutes, just like with the powder. I am impressed how quickly this kicked in. I thought the pills may take a little longer to kick in than the powder, but it was just as fast.
This is a great start!
 
Starting with two caps or half a dose. That's what I used with the powder and it worked well for me. Nice and clean energy without any jitters, skin tingling or stomach issues.

Gotcha. I saw the serving size is 4. So it looks like 4 will be comparable to 1 scoop.
 
Inb4 8 caps pre...
 
I'd explode at 8 caps!!
 
The plan was to do a Leg workout followed by an Arm workout, but that didn't happen. After the second leg workout Breezy designed I had nothing left! The Stimul8 worked great but I was toast by the end of the leg work.

Here's the workout:
Legs: 20 sets

Lying Leg Curls ss/ with Leg Extensions
20x15 / 70x15
20x15 / 70x15
20x15 / 70x15

Hack Squats
"I want you to take these down deep, pause for a 2 count in the hole, and then drive up hard to lock0ut. Work up with sets of 8, adding weight in small increments to each. When you get to a weight that you know you'll barely get 8 with, it's time for a rest-pause set. Take 15 deep breaths between each leg of the set and shoot for 14-18 reps.
*stretch your quads, hard, for 30 seconds each when finished" -Breezy
105x8
125x8
155x8
185x8
now rest pause of 185x8+6+5


Front Squats
135x12
135x12
135x12
135x12
*lower back was blown up after the hack squats- I had to do the hacks in my smith machine


Walking Lunges
"Let's hit these again this week, but change the approach. Use dumbbells or kettlebells for added weight, alternate your working leg each rep, and keep your chest parallel to your shins (to involve more hamstrings and glutes). Start with a tough 6 reps (per leg) using a 3 count eccentric, then drop the weight, pick up the pace, and continue to failure.
*stretch your quads, hard, for 60 seconds each when finished"- Breezy
35x6 + 8
35x6 + 6
35x6 + 6


Barbell Stiff-legged Deadlift
135x10
135x10
135x10
135x10

Another great workout from Breezy and constant energy thanks to Stimul8!
 
Gonna do those pause-hacks after squats Monday. Nice man.
 
Hell of a leg workout! Nailed quads today. Crazy how all the energy gets burned off by the end of the workout with stimul8. I love it. Means I really nailed the workout
 
You're doing the hacks on the smith machine or at a gym? One of my favorite leg exercises there! Great leg session!

The hacks are in my smith machine. Garage gym love:)
Loving Breezy's workouts!
 
Smith hacks are no joke. Lot harder than on a hack squat machine! Kudos to you for doing them!!!
 
Today's workout- I was able to double up today and got Chest and Shoulders then Arms in as well.

Chest: 14 sets / Shoulders: 10 sets

Flat Dumbbell Press
"I want you to use a full range of motion this week. Pause each rep at the bottom for a 2 count before focusing hard on contracting your chest to drive it up. Work up in weight with sets of 10 until you can barely get 10 (with the mentioned technique). The last 3 sets should be pretty tough."
40x10
50x10
60x10
70x10
80x8


Incline Smith Press
"This will be just like last week, but with a bit more weight. Create a slight incline by placing a plate under one end of a flat bench or using an adjustable bench at its lowest incline. Take these down to a couple inches above your chest and press up to around 3/4 lock0ut. Work up in weight with sets of 12, 8, and 6. Now shoot for a rest-pause set of 9-13 with the weight you left off with. Take 15 deep breaths each time you rack the weight before continuing on towards your target reps."
105x15
135x12
155x8
185x6
rest pause 185x5+5+4

Incline Dumbbell Flyes ss/ with Wide Pushups
40x15 / 12
40x15 / 10


Rear Delt Machine Flyes (reverse pec deck)
"Start with a pretty tough set of 30, and then add a little weight for a set of 20. Flex for a split second on each rep. Now add another 10lbs and hit 40 reps...Get as many reps as you can with solid form, take 8 deep breaths, and then continue grinding away towards your target. Repeat until 40 reps are reached. We will consider this 4 work sets."
**My cable machine doesn't allow for smaller increments for this to happen. I got the set of 30, then upped the weight and kept going until I got to 40 reps**

...and done!

2 caps of Stimul8 had me going full bore throughout the entire workout! I think I will stick with the 2 caps for the foreseeable future as this amount is giving me great work output and no jittery stim sides.
 
Look at you go on those BB curls! Wow man!
 
Had to head into work today for a bit so took two Stimul8 caps to start the day. Worked great!
Then took two more just before my afternoon workout. Two seems to be a perfect amount for me.

I had the privilege to run another of breezy11 's workouts today, which was back.

Pull-Ups
"I want you to do 6 sets total; 2 sets wide-grip, then 2 sets mid-grip, and then 2 sets close neutral grip. The goal is 8-10 reps (with perfect form) on the first set of each grip. So, if you need to add some weight or use assistance, please do. The second set with each grip will be done in a rest-pause style. Do as many reps as you can with solid form, rest for 15 deep breaths, and then rep out to failure. It's ok if form starts to slip a bit on the second leg of the set, but maintain it as best you can. Take your time before moving on to the next grip.6 work sets" - Breezy

10 wide grip
8+6+5 wide grip rest pause
9 medium grip
8+5+4 medium grip rest pause
10 narrow neutral grip
10+8+7 narrow neutral grip rest pause


Dumbbell Rows
"You're going to do standard single arm dumbbell rows, but each rep should be done from a dead stop (let the weight sit on ground for a second before firing back up). Work up in weight with sets of 8 until you can barely hit 8 reps with solid form. Stay tight, drive your elbow up/back, flex hard for a split second at the top, and lower the weight with a 3 count. Take small jumps in weight once it gets heavier, allowing for 3 tough sets. 3 work sets" - Breezy

55x8
60x8
65x8
70x8
75x8
80x8


Straight Arm Rope Pulldowns
"Do 4 sets of 10 here. Keep your back tight, flex hard at the bottom, and control the weight on the way back up. Don't go too high on the eccentric, causing the loss of tension in your lats. As always, angle the top half of your body to where you feel these are most effective. 3 work sets" - Breezy

30x10
30x10
30x10
30x10


Single Arm Supinated Pulldowns
"Set up single hand attachments on a pulldown station and grab them with a supinated grip. Tilt back slightly, keep your chest up, and drive one elbow straight down, flexing your lower back as hard as you can at the bottom. Let your lat on the non-working side stretch by continuing to hold the handle while you work the opposite side (if you don't have a dual cable pulldown, just rest the non-working hand on your leg). Do 4 sets of 8 reps. 4 work sets" - Breezy

90x8
90x8
90x8
90x8


Rack Pulls
I ended up deviating from Breezy's plan on this exercise as a buddy came by to do some lifting. So instead of the prescribed sets and reps, we did the following:

Every Minute On the Minute (EMOM) protocol for 20 minutes. We used the high handles on the trap bar to simulate the depth of a rack pull.
295x3...

This workout felt great! Lats were totally pumped, and the trap bar deads finished my back off completely.
 
It's been a while since I took Stimul8 during/before work. That'll get you moving.

Definitely liking your new routine.

Workout's are looking great and are you taking anything else along with the 2 caps of Stimul8 ?
Click to expand...

I am taking OL LeGenD and Carder1ne. I am also taking Alpha Gainz Stano.
This is the best PWO I have taken and I have tried quite a few.
 
I've liked FinaFlex's thermos and stimulants in the past for good energy and focus and I've usually stacked
them with a non stimulant pump supplement so I'll be following along to see how the cap version of Stimul8
treats you.
 
Had some crazy lethargy yesterday and ended up taking two Stimul8 in the morning and then two more PWO. Stimul8 is working well for a PWO and a energy enhancer through the day as well.

Workout yesterday Chest and Shoulder pump day

Super good workout there!! What is a football bar?
 
Thanks!
The football bar is just a swiss bar with angled handles and fat grips. I like the angled handles as they feel better on the elbow.
 
You guys have all the cool toys.

Nice volume there! Good luck walking tomorrow!
 
Nice squatting with a lot of volume, impressive man!
 
Was this Breezy's, or your own?

I tried your rest-pauses in chest. On squats, it would be killer.

This was my own workout this week. It was inspired by Breezy's workouts though :)
 
Looking pretty good so far!

Are you still doing Creeping Death, and throwing in extra workouts as secondary days ?

No, I finished Muscular Demolition and was going to start Incinerator, but then jumped on Breezy's workouts. I am going to start Incinerator this weekend.

Nice, and with Incinerator being only 4 days... you can add some of your own / breezy's workouts where recovery allows
 
Really enjoying the style of workouts Meadows and Breezy program. I do tend towards and few more supersets sometimes just for the increased work output in less time though maximal strength tends to suffer.

Supersets really add something. Have you done giant sets much?
 
Arms and Abs
Today I went with a split dose of Stimul8 as I was experiencing some lethargy from LGD, so I did three one cap doses throughout the day. Helped tremendously and still made the workout nice and energized.

*for the dips I experimented with body positions and found that using parallel dip bars while my feet are elevated in front of me, that if I pressed my body up and forward in a sort of arc I really hit the triceps hard. In essence I was trying to push myself forward and up while dipping. The fact that my feet were set on top of an elevated surface let me do this. If the feet were not resting on a surface I would have just fallen forward as I pressed my body in that direction.
Don't know if my description of the movement made any sense
