That is what I'm dreading. And carrying my bag. It's only 3/4 of a mile, not bad. Once summer comes and school ends, I'll be walking every day, unless I teach summer school since I'll go right after.

Lower Power
Excellent session today. I ended up walking to the gym. It is a 1 mile walk. I actually liked it, I did not seem like I had to do as much mobility stuff. Second, it gave my pre workout a nice chance to kick in. The walk took me about 18 minutes so by the time I did my mobility stuff, I was ready to go.
I hit my goal of 300 pounds, 3 times. I hit 305 for my top set. I am very happy with that. My legs are absolutely dead now. I am going to enjoy this upcoming deload.

Here is a thought I had at the gym today. The past two weeks is when I have been having a hard time with deadlifting. I'm starting to think it isn't the bar sticking to me. When these troubles started is when I started doing paused squats instead of low box squats. I am thinking that is the culprit. The paused squats definitely use more hamstring so I think my body is still getting used to that then heavy deadlifting two days later.
Also, here is ym plan for this upcoming week. I am going to deload and take a stim break. For my deload, I am going to deload the three big lifts at 60-60& of my 1RM and lift 5x5 for those three lifts. On both heavy days and hypertrophy days, volume will go down. I am not doing less sets, just no rest pause sets or drop sets. I will also not take anything to failure. The last thing I am going to do is drop the weight of everything else by 5-20 pounds. On compound movements, such as leg press, rdl, military press, etc. I will drop by `15-20 pounds. Isolation exercises, a 5-10 pound decrease.

Weight is up again this week. Legs are sore as hell. Today was a deload. I felt pretty tired heading into the workout, but felt fine after. I am also taking a stim break, but I don't think that had anything to do with it. It could have been the cloudy weather or the simple fact that I knew I was deloading so I know I did not need to be as intense.

I'm not going to log this week. I'm tracking macros and my lifting, but it is nothing fun since I'm just deloading.
I do have one thing worth mentioning and I am looking for some help. I deadlited with shorts today. I was able to pinpoint the problem with the new bars, the center knurling is catching whatever type of bottoms I am wearing which makes it almost impossible for the bar to slide up. I did discover one old bar, with no center knurling, that my gym brought over from the old location. It was in the personal trainer only section, but it has made its way to the main weight lifting area.
If it is in the personal trainers cage, I can ask for it to see if they will let me use it. If it is out, I can be a dbag, take it where I warm up and basically claim it for 10 minutes until I am reading t use it. Another option I have is to go to another location, but that location is a little out of the way. That will actually not be an issue for the rest of the school year since we only have two weeks left so spending a little extra time commuting won't be too big of an issue.
However, I obviously would like to just go to my local location. I am thinking of two things. One, ask the owner if I can purchase a barbell and keep it there, in the personal training cage so no one else can use it. Two, I was thinking I could tape paper towels over the center knurling. Does anyone thing that would work or are there other suggestions to take that center knurling out of play?

Do you really think the bar knurling is impacting you that much? that seems like a pretty trivial thing to be worried about...
If you really do thought, what about wearing compression shorts instead to prevent catching? or take a roll of masking/painters tape and wrop the bar for your lifts. cheap, and will stay much better than a paper towel

It may be more mental than anything. The tape is a good idea, I don't think the gym would like for me to tape up their new shiny bars though.

just take it off after... they wont even know. plus painters tape barely sticks. its meant for non damaging stickiness

Final Review: Nutraceutical Innovations MegaLax
Strength - I can't say I noticed anything out of the ordinary here. A slight increase, but nothing to rave about. In terms of natural supplements, there are better options out there for strength gains. I would go with ArA over Laxo for that. For me personally, it is not a big issue since strength is not my main priority. Also, it is worth noting my gym situation was a little wacky due to my gym's renovation. I don't think that played much of a role, but could have had something to do with my strength.
Recovery - Again, nothing too dramatic. A slight increase in recovery, but not what I thought it would be. Extra recovery is nice, but the price for any Laxo product is not worth the investment from a recovery standpoint.
Body Composition - This is where I was a little surprised. I thought recovery and strength would be more noticeable than this, especially in a four week period. I started at 156. After the first week, I increased my cals by 25 cals each day, a 275 calorie increase. I did this because I did not gain any weight the first week. After that, I started gaining weight. Maybe the product takes a week or week and a half to kick in. I ended the log at 158.4 pounds, 2.4 pounds heavier. However, with the increase in weight, my vasculairty increased. I measure my fa by feeling for a vein in my lower abs. When I get too puffy, I can no longer feel it. That vein is still touchable. My muscles look fuller, I would say overall body composition improved. My waist did get a touch, and I mean only a touch bigger. But I think that was just my abs getting thicker. I do abs twice a week. One high rep day and one heavy low rep day. I lack thickness in my abs and think they just got a little thicker and yes, some fat But I don't think it was all fat. My belt still fits the same, it is just a touch tighter. Also, I could use heavier weights on squats and deadlifts before putting on my belt.
Overall - Personally, I would not buy a Laxo product. From what I have seen, they are pretty expensive, especially when one considers the dose they should run it at. I ran this at 150mg per day. I can think of other natural supplements that provide better overall results. This is not a knock on the company, but the ingredient itself. I would not purchase this ingredient from any company, unless it was part of a formula with other ingredients that I respond well to. I plan on checking out some of Nutraceutical Innovations' other supplements; such as MonoPump and 11k. Again, this review does not directly reflect the company since this was just a single ingredient. I would say overall I was happy with Megalax, but it is not something I would advise running solo. Perhaps as a stack with another product. 8/10

Deload push heavy day. My left shoulder felt a bit sore for some reason. Maybe I rolled on it with the lacrosse ball too much yesterday. Everything felt solid though. Ended up walking to the gym since we had a half day at work today. I had my gym bag on the shoulder that felt a little sore, maybe that was it.

AntM Reviews iForce Finish Line
Invalid Link Removed
Let me preface this by saying I used this for 10 days, therefore, I cannot comment on recovery, but I will comment on everything else.
Mixibility - Perfect. No clumps. There are some particles left on the top, due to the leucine, but they go away after a few minutes.
Profile - I really like the profile of Finish Line. 6 grams of amino acids, 4 grams of that is leucine to help with MPS post workout. I also love the addition of the LCLT It is properly dosed and it is something I personally use anyway. Next, you get a full dose of creatine. Finally, 2.5 grams of betanine. That is a full dose and betanine and great for performance and even body composition. The one thing I do not like and could do without is the beta alanine. Yes, it is fully dosed, but one, BA has no acute effects so if someone is not using this for a long time, there really is no benefit of it. Next, BA is best split into doses versus taking 3.2 grams at once. All of that at once also makes for intense tingles. The first day, my head and ears were itchy for about 90 minutes. It got less intense each day, but was not welcomed.
Taste - Rainbow Sherbet is the flavor I had. I had it in various amounts of water. I tried th suggested 10 ounces, 8 ounces, 16 and 24. With more water, it becomes less sweet, but is still very flavorful. 8-10 ounces of ice cold water is optimal. I a very impressed with this flavor. It brought me back to my time as a young kid in the summer. It was perfect.
Overall - I would highly suggest this product. It is a great formula and is tastes fantastic as well. I have no complaints except for the BA. I would do without it. 9.5/10

Profile
The bar is your standard size protein bar. It is 60 grams and contains only 2.5 grams of fat 28 grams of carbs (20 grams fiber), and 21 grams protein. This is a soy/dairy free bar, the protein comes from pea and brown rice protein.
Price
About $2.50 per bar. A little cheaper than other similar bars.
Texture/consistency
The bar is very similar to the OG Quest bars, but it is a lot softer and not nearly as chewy. If you hold the end of the bar, the other end starts to flop over, showing how soft it is. There is no texture, it is just a soft bar. If you know me, I love some type of texture in my bars. The bar has a slightly glossy outside, but once you bite into it, it is pretty damn dry. The first bar I had, I warmed up so thought that was the issue. The second bar was straight out of the wrapper and was the same. It is not inedible, but dry enough to make you question the purchase.
Taste
A huge problem with some dairy free protein bars is that you can taste the plant based protein. If you have ever had a plant based protein, you know there is just an odd taste. This is brilliantly masked by a heavy blueberry flavor. If I had not know it was a blueberry flavored bar, I would have been able to guess that right away
Overall
Not too bad. I wish there was some texture to it and I wish the bar wasn't as dry s it is on the inside. I think that is due to the plant based protein. Like I said, I can see past it, but they are not something I would buy again. I do have another box, I am hoping the change in flavor increases how moist the bar is. The blueberry flavor is amazing and saved this bar from being a below average bar. However, I cannot give it a higher than average rating due to the dryness of the bar and the lack of texture. 7/10

Weight is the same this week.
This is my one rep max testing week. I am aiming for 420 on deads, 205 on incline bench and 330 for squat. I am 2.4 pounds heavier this testing week than the previous, I hope that translates to better numbers.
I woke up felling good today. And the session today went very well. Maybe I did need that deload week. Today, I did not do a drop set after every set either. I think I try and do too much and it becomes counter productive. I need to keep in perspective that I need to stimulate the muscle, not destroy it. In addition, I hit everything twice per week, so I do not need crazy volume.
The only thing I did not hit my numbers on was flat db press. I fell one rep short on the last set, but on the sets of 12, I was able to get all 12 reps every set. If you have been following my log, that never happens.

Pull Power
Killed it today. Ended up walking to the gym since I'm off work today and the rain cleared out. I like walking, it give my stims a chance to kick in. Warm up sets felt very light. I wanted to hit 420, which would have been 5 pounds more than my last 1 rep max day.
If you have followed my log, the past two 1 rep max pull days, I hit the PR and then went for a lift 5 pounds more. After the 395 set, I decided to go for 425 instead of 420. I did not want doubt left in me that I could have pulled it.
The rep was pretty quick off the floor. I got stuck right above the knees, but kept pushing forward and did not use a hitch. I locked out for a while at the top.
On my back down sets, 365 was not budging! That 425 took so much out of me, especially my hamstrings.
I was also surprised how smooth my stomach felt since I did have a very tiny pre workout "meal".

Macros/Profile
Not the best in terms of macros. 7 grams of carbs, 3.5 grams of fat and 22 grams of protein. The carb content is a little high. Protein is on par and fat is on par/a touch high. This is a protein blend, but given the macros, the listed proteins and the consistency of the powder mixed (not thick) I'm lead to believe the casein in here is very minimal.
Taste
This is your basic milk chocolate flavor, with an off aftertaste. I'm not a fan of chocolate, but I'm not a chocolate hater. There is nothing about this flavor that made me say I need to buy this as my go to chocolate protein. In addition, the artificial aftertaste was not pleasant.
Overall
Given the macros/profile, price and taste, I would suggest going with another protein blend. Even if this was the best chocolate protein I have ever had, I would still suggest looking elsewhere. You can find better protein blends for a similar price. I have the frosted churro flavor next. Hopefully, that is not a disappointment. 5/10

Profile
I like the profile, but hate that it is a prop blend. There are only two ingredients; betanine and agmatine. These ingredients are at 3 grams between the two. If TMG is dosed at 2.5 grams, which is the ideal dose, then that only leaves 500 mg for agmatine. That is not a bad dose, but it is nothing great.
Pump/Performance
I noticed I was not as fatigued, but I have been using TMG for awhile, so that is an accumulative effect. If one was just to take this product, they probably wouldn't notice that. Pump was average at best.
Overall
I like the profile, but hate that you do not know the doses of the two ingredients. I do like the two ingredients though, I think they are essential to a pre workout product. Assuming TMG is at 2.5 grams and Agmatine 500 mg, I would suggest just burying the ingredients in bulk and take them solo or adding them to your pre workout. They are not that expensive and this product is about $23, average price I saw, for 30 servings. Increased performance is there, but TMG needs to be continuously taken to notice the effect. Pumps were par. 6/10

This is a little more than your typical BCAA product. Yes, it does contain 5g of BCAA at a 2:1:1 ratio, but it also contains a 3.3 gram prop blend of EAA and other stuff such as beta alanine. I like some of the additions in the blend, such as HICA, CM and the EAA, but these are probably all underdosed. BA heads the blend. If it is dosed at 1.6 grams, which I'm thinking, that only leave 2.9 grams for 12 other ingredients. They are going to be underdoed.
Taste
The flavor was mango passion fruit. I did get the mango flavor right away, but then it just fell flat. It was a nice flavor, but not as good as Xtend mango. It was not bad by any means, it was just not memorable.
Overall
Given the price point, just under a dollar a serving, I would not suggest this product. You can find better or even similar products for the same or even a better price. The EAA Matrix blend does nothing for me, I can assure the ingredients are underdosed and that is what drives up the price. The flavoring is not bad, but it just isn't memorable. Even if the taste was amazing, I may be able to suggest it. However, all you are getting is your standard BCAA product with some other pixie dusted with some other ingredients. 7/10

Since I have reviewed Iso Aminos, in other flavors, in the past and said I would purchase these, this is only going to be a taste test.
Overall
I would not call this blue bombsicle. Bombsicles are very sugary in my opinion. Instead, I would call this snow cone. The flavor was just that of a snow cone, which does have a very similar flavor to bombsicles, however, the flavor of a snow cone is not as prominent of a bombsicle. It was nice, light and did not taste artificial. I am not the biggest fan of popsicles, but this was pretty good. Not my cup of tea, but if you like popsicles or snow cones, this would be right up your alley.. 8/10

Push Power
I am slightly disappointed with the max our portion of the training session. Warm up sets felt good. 185 felt a little heavy. From 185, I went to 205 and failed. I moved it more than the last time I failed on 205. I then dropped to 200 and hit that. It was slow, but smooth. I then went back to 205 and got stuck again. I did a bunch of back down sets.
OHP, I wanted to hit 125, but one got 120. I am not too disappointed with that given how much I was pushing on incline bench, I think when I max out on bench, I need to take smaller steps when I got to the heavier weight. It is just such a shock. Next time I go for 205, I think the set prior will be 190 or 195 to really prime myself.

Lower Power
Very good session today, but it might have been ruined. I will explain soon.
I hit 330 and it felt pretty smooth. My hamstrings were quite strong. Getting out of the hole was fairly easy, so them being a tad sore did not hurt me. I don't know what I'm more impressed with. Hitting 330 or hitting 10 reps at 225, on the way back down. Pre transplant, I could use 225 for sets of 12-15, fresh. Hitting 225 for 10 after a PR makes me think I can achieve that as well, despite being 20 or so pounds lighter.
I did "box" squats today instead of paused squats. Like I have mentioned, since my gym' moved locations, they got rid of the boxes. I used those aerobic steps and platform to set up a box. I used 4 steps and placed the platform on top. It was just below parallel.
Here comes the bad news. When I was doing standing calf raises, I felt a pop or something similar in my left calf on the outside portion. It was not painful. I placed the weight down, rested and finished my set. I did the rest of my sets as well too.
I was squeezing hard at the top of the movement. I'm think I may have over-contracted, if that makes sense and perhaps I was a little dehydrated. I try to drink just the right amount of water pre workout when I train in the morning before squats and deadlifts. Otherwise, I feel like I may puke. What may have caused this too is I used this new calf machine, so maybe they were too fatigued and I should have went lighter on standing calf raises. It almost felt like a really bad cramp was about to occur.
What freaks me out is the possibility of a calf tear. Last year, check the log about 48 weeks ago, I had a grade two tear in my right calf, in the same spot I felt this tweak today. I wasn't training calves when that happened though, it was a freak incident. It's been about 2 hours or so since I felt that tweak. When this happened last year, I was in severe pain about 6 hours after and I couldn't walk. I am going to ice and see what happens. There is no bruising or pain, so I don't believe it is anything serious.
Another thing I may do from now on is do calves three times a week. Currently I do 10 sets total on Tuesday and Saturday which are both leg days. Instead of doing 10 and 10, maybe I will do 6 and 6 and then do 4 sets on Thursday after training. Any thoughts on this?

A lot of times with a pop like that, especially in an area with an old injury, it can just be just some excess scar tissue breaking up or sometimes things just get "twanged" funny (no injury, just kinda popping into place) after a new movement

I should have worded my post better. It is the opposite calf, but in the same spot. I just wanted to give an idea of how the injury progressed last year and what I should look out for.
No swelling, no pain, only a very slight touch of extra tightness. I just think I was pre fatigued or I flexed super hard and was going to experience a bad cramp.

This is a protein blend, but given the macros, the listed proteins and the consistency of the powder mixed (not thick) I'm lead to believe the casein in here is very minimal.

This was the churro flavor. I absolutely love anything cinnamon based, I had high hopes for this. The initial taste is that of cinnamon, followed by the same terrible aftertaste that the chocolate had.

Given the macros/profile, price and taste, I would not suggest going with another protein blend. Just like the chocolate, the flavor is decent initially, but then followed by a bad aftertaste. 5/10

There are 15 grams in the prop blend. I dislike that the user does not know how much of each amino acid they are getting. It is also impossible to determine if the amount of HICA is good or if it is just a used as pixie dust.
Taste
The first flavor was cherry limeade. I enjoyed this. I would say it was more lime based than cherry. That is fine with my since I am a fan of both flavors. It was light and was just strong enough with 8-10 ounces of water.
The second flavor was watermelon. This flavor was very boring It was just like Xtend. If you were to have the two side by side, unlabeled, you would find it difficult to tell which is which. This does not mean the flavor was bad, it isn't. It is just a boring flavor now. It seems like most watermelon flavored products are too similar.
Overall
I would not buy Amino IV and would suggest about a handful of other amino acid products before it. If the profile was not hidden under a 15 gram prop blend, my feelings might be different. If the taste was spectacular, perhaps I would not need a fully disclosed labeled. But as it stands, it is a hidden label with a slightly above average taste. 7/10

Profile
There are 10 grams of amino acids total. 5 grams come from BCAA and another 5 grams from EAA. You do not know the amount of each EAA, but I like how this is not hidden under a huge 10 gram prop blend. There is also an electrolyte blend for to help fight fatigue or to replenish some lost nutrients.
Taste
Fruit Punch was the flavor. I usually enjoy fruit punch, but not this. Right off the bat, there is a pretty bad chemical tasting flavor. At the tail end, you get a small dose of fruit punch, almost similar to Hawaiian Punch. However, the chemical taste is so pronounced that you cannot enjoy that somewhat sweet flavor in the background.
Overall
Not bad. I do like the profile, but the taste completely makes me not want to buy or suggest this product. Maybe the other flavors do not have that chemical taste. If that is the case, then I would suggest those flavors. However, I will not be experimenting with my own money given the taste of the fruit punch. 6/10

Pretty happy with the session today, despite having some GI issues. I decided to go back for an IF diet. I don't know if that played a role. I also switched back to Gut Health two days ago for my digestive support. I don't think switching to IF was the problem, I ate the same amount of cals pre workout, but the meal was just my normal meal and my first one combined. I was very gassy. Maybe my body needs to transition back.
The smooth bar was being used today. I took some advice and put some painters tape around the center knurling. This worked perfectly, the bar did not stick at all.
Some personal notes now. Today was the last real day of teaching. We have finals tomorrow and Wednesday. Thursday will be used for make up exams then our last teachers meeting after. Friday is a half day/fun day for the kids.
I will still work at my second job on Sunday's. I also landed a summer job teaching elementary level school kids about science at a camp. I am looking for a summer school position, but this will be fine. I wanted to do something that is more education based versus work at my retail job all summer.
I also got a call from Yale about my annual biopsy. It is coming up. I think I am going to schedule it for the first Thursday in July. That is my deload week so it would match up nicely with training.

Pretty simple. A simple .5 grams of BCAA at a 12:1:1 ratio with additional glutamine. Nothing fanc, simple and effective.
Taste
Berry Pomegranate was the flavor. I was excited for this. I have to admit the taste was off. Right from the beginning when it first hits your mouth all the way through to the aftertaste. Honestly, it was almost barely drinkable.I got no taste of berry, it was very odd. I cannot place my finger on it.

I would look elsewhere. The profile is good, but the taste was terrible. I would not be able to get through a whole tub of this. Going through the sample packet was bad enough. 5/10

A serving provides 7 grams of BCAA and there is also 1 gram of glutamine and an electrolyte blend.
Taste
The flavor was Strawberry Mango. I enjoy both fruits. The Mango overpowers the strawberry. Both flavors were natural, so I wouldn't say the flavoring is bad. It was odd though. I think it is the combination of the two different fruits. I have never ate the two together or had a supplement or drink that was a combination of the two. I think if there was no strawberry undertone, this would be amazing.
Overall
I like the profile and the flavor is alright. The flavoring is not bad, it is just an odd combination of two fruits that I enjoy. I have the grren apple flavor, which I will be trying next. I hope that green apple is a little better.7/10

I was very happy with today's training session. Especially with my military press.
I decided to get on the scale this morning. I only weigh myself on Sunday mornings. I was up almost two pounds from Sunday's weigh in. I have no idea what has spiked this insane weight gain recently. Yes, I want to gain weight, but I want it to be controlled. No variables have changed in terms of activity, calories or macros. The only thing I can think of is water weight. I ended using AlphaMax 3 weeks ago; I ran it for 8 weeks. Maybe it is the AI no longer being in my system. I would not say I am getting fatter, just a touch softer. It isn't a big issue, but being a former fatty, I am afraid of getting fat.
I dropped my calories everyday for the rest of the week, including today. I will make adjustments for all of next week too. I am thinking of dropping cals somewhere from 200-400 per day. I may have to drop my protein intake, I try to hit 1.5 grams per pound. I just don't want my fat to drop too low.
This is not a cut, I will post when I am going to actually do that. This is just reassessing.

If you have been following, you would see that the power days have always remained the same. The first exercise is a 5x5, 6x4, 7x3 or 8x2 depending on the week. At some point, I read a percentage lifting article and made percentages to lift in depending on the rep range. As noted in the log, I can usually out lift those percentages depending on the rep range.
Take today for example, the top set should have been 264 pounds based on the percentages. However, the last time I did a 5x5, I was able to hit 275 for my top set. I went for 280 today because I wanted to do better than the previous 5x5. This took a lot out of me.
Here is the new plan. I am going to stick within the percentages. However, the top set will just be an AMRAP. This will combine this program as written with my percentage based weights.
For example, next week my top set of squats is 276 pounds. I will go with 280, even though on my last 6x4, I hi 285 on the top set. I will just go for as many reps as possible.

Really happy with today's session. Transitioning from the smith the dumbbells for my first movement went very, very smoothly. I am going to decrease cals by 400 each day. I still cannot wrap my head around the weight gain. I am going to run a beta product for my company, hopefully sometime this week I will get it, and then I will probably transition to a 8-12 week cut. During the cut, I will run Osta.
I am also missing my stim pre workout. My performance is not hindered, it is just a mental thing. I don't even know why I'm taking a month off of stims, I probably don't even need to with my consumption.

I did not completely stick to my idea for the max set today. The heaviest I should have gone was 361. If I rounded correctly, that would have been 360, but I let my ego get a hold of me and went for 365. It was extremely difficult. Deadlifting today was just harder than normal. I don't want to blame not having any stims, Last week was fine. Perhaps it was just because I trained fasted, I have not deadlifted fasted in a long time, and I walked to the gym.

This log has been going on for exactly one year now. Here are the key takeaways.
In the 52 weeks/12 months, I am up 15.2 pounds. I'm pretty happy with that. Fat gain has not been too high. Obviously some occurred, it always will.
Here are the 1 reps maxes from my first test to my previous test 3 weeks ago.
Deadlift
Start - 365
Now 425
Squat
Start - 275
Now - 330
Bench
Start - 195(flat)
Now - 205{incline}
Bench is a little hard to compare since I started maxing out on flat, but now I switched to incline. But squats went up 45 pounds in the year and deadlifts went up by 60. Pretty good progress for a 15 pound weight gain I think.

Profile
This is a little more than a standard BCAA product. First, it contains five grams of BCAA at a 2:1:1 ratio. It also contains some B vitamins. In addition, it contains some other amino acids and ingredients, but these are underdosed at one scoop. An example is the LCLT. I love LCLT and supplement with a bulk powder form. One scoop only provides 500mg of LCLT. A person should supplement with two to three grams for the benefits. The L-Alanine should also be greater. It is just your typical five gram BCAA product with a pixie dust of other ingredients that need to be dosed more.
Taste
The flavor is Xtreme Fruit Punch. Honestly, this is easily the worst tasting product I have ever had. Even bulk leucine and Na-r-ala is better than this. It tastes nothing like fruit punch. The only way I can describe it is horrid. It is almost impossible to drink. The second picture I provided is of the expiration date. However, I have used aminos that were more than a few weeks past the date and they never tasted this horrid.
Overall
This product is just over a dollar a serving. It is a very poor value for what is included. One could buy a five gram BCAA product, add in their own LCLT and other simple aminos and it would be a lot less per serving. In addition, this supplement tastes extremely horrid. The flavor should be Xtremely Terrible. I would not suggest this product to anyone and I would not suggest anything off the line based on the profile, but more so the taste. This is me being 100% honest and transparent. Perhaps the horrid taste is because of the expiration date, but I have never had an expired supplement taste as bad as this.1/10

Good workout today. I actually stuck to my new plan of staying in the percentages and going for an AMRAP with the heaviest prescribed weight. I was really happy with OHP.
Just three and a half weeks more of this stim break. I cannot wait until it's over. Having stims is such a mental thing for me.
Yes, I took a one week stim break two weeks ago, then used stims for my max out tests. My plan is a 5 week stim break. I am hoping that going on an extended break like this, I can just take a week off on my deload weeks and essentially go 4 weeks on 1 week off for a while.
One thing worth noting, I used a slightly wider grip on my incline bench. With these new bars, I have been placing my middle finger on the rings, today I went with my index finger.
