almost going on a week so far and today, DAM- pump was pretty insane- great tricep workout WAF thanks buddy still using that one
focus was intense and had more time today so i hit fore arms, why the hell not! Great pump as well. Tell you this much, when a product gives you a great pump, physiologically you just want to push harder. I took this about an hour before and today it seemed to kick in a little faster. By the time i was on my third set, my arms started to feel it.
The one question i have for MST and/or jalfrey ,it mentions not eating before taking this; believe I am sure there is a good explanation, believe it was not taking food an hour before specifically protein. is it because of AstraGin?
Pump last 30 min my workout and im spent now! Rag is starting to kick in now, great product

5/5
I was going to attempt chest today, but after yesterdays workout, hell NO. my tri's were killing me today. Normally doms sets in just about 20-24 hr later, almost on Que for me. This morning, as i sat at my desk, put my arms bent to sit, i started to feel it. flexing the tri's hurt- mommy lol
I hit those bad boys so hard yesterday!
so i got to thinking, with just enough time for the gym, lets do bi's-
hammer strength curl machine, well that was a mistake. minute i put my arms on the pad, but after the first set, everything seemed to flow.
all were with 3 second reps up pause neg
45 x 15, 70 x 10 90 x 10 115 x 8 130 x 6
use the t bar chest bench for gravity ez bar curls wide grip
70 x 10 80 x 10 90 x 10
by now my arms were so ****ing pumped and i was so focused that 2 of my friends walked by and waved, never saw them. when i went to bring the last ez bar back to the rack, i walked over to say he bro's hows it going, they looked at me like i was on crack. yea we said hey before! opps
did a superset of hammer curls, with straight bar curls- i dont know why, it popped into my head and i went with it. hammers were not across the body,
35 x 16 then s bar 95 x 8
40 x 14 then s bar 95 x 8
45 x 14 then s bar 95 x 6
then for some odd reason, i decided to finish up with bent over db curls- single arm with a superset of straight bar rev curls.
35 x 12 the s bar with a false grip 65 x 10
35 x 12 " " " 75 x 10
40 x 8 " " " 95 x 8
back to work- great workout, pump was pretty insane. focus was on point as well. no other issues to mention
tomorrow is leg day- oh yea cant wait lol

funny group of guys up there! lol
today was a shoulder day, had to wait to even get a chair this morning. some guy was going thru his playlist on his phone and was a little tired. he needed that seat. :aargh4:
seated military 6 reps started at 135 (after a warm up- since in plenty of time while mr. i need a seat made me wait)
185, 205, 225, 235, 245- all 6 reps
went back to 155 and do slow neg for 10 reps - 2 sets
then 135 for 4 sets total -alternating between sets with a wide grip and then very close- superseting with db seated lateral raises 10 reps
single arm smith shrugs- 3 sets each arm 10 reps each-
135, 145, 155
i used the seated chest press to isolate my traps. the motion of the seated chest press really allows you to isolate the traps when you face the machine.
4 sets 180 each arm- this is just a great movement to hit the trap.
back to the smith for behind the back shrugs3 sets, 225 for failure- 3 sec reps
db front raises 3 sets- 30 lb 12 reps
and used the seated lateral raise machine but ronnie style. bend over, face the machine- elbows on the pads to hit the rears.
great workout and great pump- no issues with Rag, except the supply is getting low - lol

thanks,
feel it helps to focus more on the traps and do a "shrug" verses yanking or jerking the wgt up. those with behind the back shrugs really work best for me

all in the mind!
chest, shoulders and arms are my strong points. Im not sure how much you do for forearms a week, but since i have really been hitting those more over the past 8 months, everything seems to flow in synergy.
christ83189
Well-known member
Hmmm i might have start paying more attention to those. I lied. I guess seated military press i csn hit 205 for a couple. Standing i can only get 200 without any leg drive. Add in leg drive and i can do way more
smith_69
Well-known member
standing 200 is impressive man and even hitting 200/205 for 1 is still great.
i kind of look at like if you take your whole arm, finger tip to shoulder, some where along the line, there is a weak point; everyone has one. if you are lagging behind from point A to point B- getting to C (which is the rep) will be affected.
if the line from a- b is continuously soild/strong then the rep will be much easier. i probably made that more confusing lol but its sunday morning

How much forearm work you put in a week?
sparks2012
Well-known member
Yep, I cut out most direct forearm work but looks like I might be going back to it. Curious as how much/when you add it in as well.
smith_69
Well-known member
2-3 times-
behind the back srt bar wrist curls,
rev forearm curls- false grip
db wrist curls superset with throttle curls- lighter db off the bench, use a false grip on those as well
gripper
standing rev cable pully curls- set the cable little low and only come partially the way up to keep tension on the forearm
seated rev preacher curls, false grip, then use reg grip
mix of the above
JDybya

Love it! Grip strength is so underestimated by so many people.
sparks2012

Nice man, I've been going double OH, sometimes false, on deads until I get up to 400+...I also use false grip on most back exercises like pull-ups/downs, rowing machines, etc. , but it probably wouldn't hurt to add in a mix of those. Good stuff, I could use more size on the forearms.

5/9- this was a back day-
tuff because I had less than 3 hours sleep. dog was up all night and woke up the kids and just a mess
Rag did help me get through it- was kind of like on autopilot
iso lat high rows, low rows, pull ups and rev pec deck- just focused on reps and didn't go too heavy.
bed at 10 last night!
Better rested today
Hit legs - nothing too crazy
squats, leg press and rev leg curls
got into a conversation with a few guys about different techniques and start bsing about other stuff.
Still got a great pump from Rag today as well
tomorrow is an off day, having a big meeting at the office and kind of glad. Shoulder has been bothering me a bit, so today and tomorrow will be good rest days. Shoulders on Thursday
No issues from Rag, still feel the tingles but not too bad, actually don't mind it. Flavor and mixing still on par and giving good pumps

Wasn't answered to my knowledge. Maybe jalfrey can shine some light on this or he can call upon the old gods at MST to answer. It is an interesting question, I typically don't eat within 45 minutes of taking PWO. It's always worked best for me on an empty or near empty stomach.

Sorry I missed that question earlier!
It's merely a maximum absorption thing. Best I can tell, cordyceps absorbs best on an empty stomach. I imagine the Krebs Cycle minerals do too. But dosing Rag a half hour after eating isn't going to negate the effects. I have some Mesomorph on hand and I notice it mentions taking it on an empty stomach too. I guess that's something I never noticed since I take Rag first thing in the morning
