Thoughts:
My beach trip got really cloudy so i decided to hit the gym. when i got there I wanted to lift so instead of fasted cardio I hit arms and touched chest a little. Yesterday was a cheat day for me, supposed to be carb up but i was so depleted i needed the food. As a result I responded to the weights really well, I was so full and vascular i just kept pushing harder. I did ten total sets of close grip and DB curls. My chest also was very pumped. I did them on the smith machine and it really let me focus on the contraction of the muscle instead of stabilizing it. I forgot how much i love the smith machine for chest. I switched up to some dips and then onto cables. very solid workout, I was sweating like crazy and looked so full by the time I left, almost like a different person. I decided to break the fast and do a large carb up post workout.

As long as the food is in place and i am not pushing the diet too much here are the effects i feel i can attribute to 11kt: an absolute raise in body temp, sometimes i just sweat inside even with the ac. No loss in libido, nothing drastic at least. I have seen increases in vascularity, some strength gains, and some hardening. nothing too drastic, but gradually it has been really nice for me. I have had some joint issues, but i have been working around them. all in great so far at 300mg a day.
 
How are your joints feeling ??

Knees have been kinda dry. Been using knee sleeves and wrapping up for knees and doing the bike in-between my first 3-5 sets of legs to get some scinovial fluid in there. I think a major part is the amount of cardio I do. I can't imagine if I ran outside instead of using the arc trainer...

I added in some Super Cissus about 10 days ago and my knees feel much better :)
 
I like the 11-K but it is tough on the joints of an old man like me !!

That's always the trade off. A lot of times when you look the best you feel the worst lol that's bodybuilding for you though.

As one gets closer to a PR, compulsion kicks in. Then once it's very close, nothing else matters as much as achieving that goal! I guess it's a common phenomena for many of us, but don't let the goal negate itself. No matter how good you look, you still value your knees more, right? ;)

Excellent HEAVY Back Day.

I wanted to do more but ran out of time. judging from how i feel today its probably best i stopped when i did. The Yates Rows i got up to 365, and was able to perform properly. the weighted pull ups were very intense, i made sure to do a full hang at the bottom of every rep. I looked up, kept my chest up and pulled with my back. every rep at the top i would contract and squeeze at the top. these were extra painful!

Thoughts:

I was so drained from yesterday's back workout, I had to take a nap midday instead of my usual cardio. also took another nap before the gym. back is very sore, i love it!

During training my upper body was so full today, so pumped and just appeared big. Lately I have been using candy as my post workout carb up, and my body has been soaking it up. This isn't going to be a permanent thing for me, just something I've never done. I am experimenting. My body responds really well to it... maybe a pack of sour patch kids with my post shakes lol but serious to some extent...

Overall great workout, didn't chase any numbers, just focused on full reps with the db's including a deep, wide stretch at the bottom of each rep. Also tried some ISO-lateral presses across the body. The contraction on these is better than almost anything I've done for chest as it isolated the pec completely. I will be using these more often.
 
My grad kids never want to that a nap, I wish I could every afternoon !!
 
Your the man rocket! Napping was how I out so much mass on this past year. 20lbs of good weight last summer, slept like a bear and ate like an ox. This summer I'm going for the lion or tiger look, no bears this time lol.

Thoughts:
This was my strongest leg workout this year. I truly put the carb-up from the weekend to use, and don't feel as guilty as i did that morning looking in the mirror. I was holding so much water... Free Willy. weighed in and was up another 6 pounds from the day before, 224lbs with my clothes on, but trained like an animal so it was worth it. I have not been able to do squats in a long time, yet alone hit 5 plates for reps. This was a tremendous feeling... My whole body was shaking when i finished that last drop set. My body was operating at full capacity. When I loaded the 5 plates it seemed like the gym stopped, people were just waiting for me to drop it... 5 reps later, i rack the weight, drop two plates and go ape **** with 315, then again at 135. all explosive and fast. this set alone was worth an entire workout for me. MY legs were fried and CNS was on fire. I don't mean to sound silly, but i live for moments like that. Everything else after was icing on the cake.
 
Leg workout sounds like it was Killer Fun !!
 
Why you walk'in funny !!

I hope it is cooler and less humid where you are, here (PA) I sweat just walking from my car to the office.
 
Awesome display of what discipline and consistency can do in just a few months. (and good supps help too, lol)

Thanks for the review Empire, you look totally ripped, and we're glad you enjoyed the product. :)
 
I usually don't read logs but your attention to detail in the beginning drew me in.... I thought I was disciplined ¿¡
Dang, man, nice going.

I need a training partner like you.

Thanks bro. I appreciate you saying that. I like to be as detailed as I can and I'm glad the you appreciate it because it took a lot of time to write out lol sometimes felt like a job. Best of luck to you on the training partner, they're out there. My old training partner/mentor was an absolute animal.

Great log, you are a keto guy that's awesome, I am strict CKD keto with Intermittent Fasting. So you do cardio 2 x a day? You prepping for a show/even/beach? or just trying to maximize the potential of 11-KT? I love 11-KT keeps me lean even with a surplus of calories and very vascular and pumped.

Great log, you are a keto guy that's awesome, I am strict CKD keto with Intermittent Fasting. So you do cardio 2 x a day? You prepping for a show/even/beach? or just trying to maximize the potential of 11-KT? I love 11-KT keeps me lean even with a surplus of calories and very vascular and pumped.

Yea so basically just wanted to push it as far as possible. Keep learning my body and get as lean as I could. I am not prepping for a show, but rather living the lifestyle. I have plans to do some shows in the future though, just have a lot of work to do.

Once I got to understand how 11kt was supposed to work, I just figured I would push it as far as I could. Therefore gradually adding in up to two hours of cardio a day and increasing fasting times. I really enjoyed running it. Towards the end my output was just burning me out. I would throw in cheats and carb ups two the three times a week and upped my total Cal's and still kept losing.
