Habajaba's first drone strike w/BPS Epidrone

habajaba said:
Thanks mane! It ain't fun looking out at the beach while grinding it out, but I get it done. Well, it's at least a nice view...

Gettin it done so I can hit my ultimate goal. When we're back here in a couple months, I'll be cut and swole and just lay back and enjoy the trip then! :)

When my in-laws took my family down to Cozumel this summer, I drank a LOT of pina coladas and whiskey and cokes but my butt was still in the gym at the resort. Funny thing was, there were some guys down there that were acting like they were bodybuilders and stuff hitting on the girls but I never once saw them in the gym. As a matter of fact, I never saw anybody else in the gym. Maybe I was just in there too early? Lol! Gotta keep the train a rollin'!

No one is ever in the gym here either. I got my dad to work out with me a few years ago and we had to go down there so there were enough dumbbells since selecttechs don't share well :).

Still working hard, failing to control the diet as much as I'd like tho. Beer and pizza one night (limited myself to one beer tho). Bourbon and coke last night with my pretzel bun blue burger. Wanted to take the bun off but dangit, it was a pretzel bun. I can't skip that! The first night we all went out for ice cream too. It was our favorite place for years. I got a scoop. Gotta say I felt sick after a few bites. My wife did too! We got to thinking about how much work it was undoing and didn't want to eat it. But I did, because I paid a lot for it :). No more of that crap!

Trying to at least abstain from as much alcohol as possible since that's just doubling the effects of any stupid food decisions. It ain't easy when you go to a brewery with like 60 things on tap!
 
habajaba pmed you. Not sure if you got it. Also, subbed!
 
Strong lift day today despite feeling gassed real early. I think the jack3d just isn't as good for me as BronkAid + MaxREPS. Which is funny since I used to absolutely love the stuff, but been using MaxREPS for a couple months now. That or it's just working out somewhere different on a dirty diet.

Either way, hit my top numbers, kept the bonus pushups/curls to fail at the end too. Felt gassed first 2 rounds+ but I did find some focus for the last 2 rounds. Overall I'm pleased. Keep moving forward and doing my best not to lose steam on vacation.

Maybe post some food porn later depending on where we go. Just to screw with FireTitan. :)

Week 3 Update
Faster recovery (5/5)
Another mid-back tweak and recurrence of a wrist strain this week. But again, bouncing back far better on those than in the past. Very very pleased here. In the past, a back tweak would turn into full on spasm and cost me a week or so off the weights. Epidrone keeps me trucking along.

Increase in strength (5/5)
Solid. Upping weights and reps. On weak days, I'm still hitting my numbers rather than dropping back.

Body comp (noticeable fat loss or increase in muscle mass) (5/5)
Still getting noticeable recomp. I was up 1lb this week, but the gut pinch test tells me I lost body fat. Totally cool with weight gains as long as they're weight GAINZ! :)

Endurance (5/5)
Recovery during breaks on both cardio and lift days is still solid. I'm going longer and harder than ever.

Mood (3/5)
About the same as last week. In some ways better, but I'm still kind of a punk.

Libido (3/5)
Doing alright. Nothing crazy, but no complaints here.

I can't believe it's only been 3 weeks as I feel like I've seen so much change! Loving the Epidrone. Looking forward to seeing what my final week looks like before we add in other goodies and turn it up to.... ELEVEN.

kinda surpised epidrone hasn't increased libido, that is something I really like about epi-andro!!!

Don't rely on my log for that factor. As I stated earlier, I'm pretty much flatlined in that area. Going to require much work to resuscitate. That said there HAS been some increase which I do consider something.

Chicken Philly (bread from Philly) and a sunset. Not too shabby. Sorry about the bread and onion rings FireTitan. I did share the rings with family to get rid of some of them. I also ate a big salad in our room before going out, just cuz I haven't forgotten my overall goal.

Hard to stay in check at a fire station. Most of them (around here anyways) are NOT the ones you see in the calendars but usually the beer gut type.

Thats about right. Although, I am happy to say I have my shift in check. Theres only 4 of us, but me and my Captain workout every shift, and I have him getting up at 0530 on the mornings were getting off to go do cardio. My Lieutenant and another Engineer are running at 0700 everyday and dropping weight. The only bad thing, none of them are close to me in amount of weights that we lift, but I have helped my Captain overcome the "sandbagging syndrome" he had and hit some mice PRs. Proud of my guys. Oh, and as far as me and the Captain, Im in charge of the food too!

lifted67 would tell you to mail your butt to him so he could kick it all the way back to you because you cheated on your diet! It's good to have the accountability.

Looks fuccing great bro! I might just need one of those this weekend lol. Glad to hear the libido is increasing I think and hope past the second half you'll be seeing a bigger jump !
 
Quick update since I got busy with the kids in the pool after I finished earlier. Cardio day. KILLED IT. Seriously. Felt 110%. Recovery is back to crazy levels. And I still used jack3d today. So I guess gassing out Saturday was just a fluke... Or a reaction to our first night here eating vacation food. :)

Just keeps getting better, boys! LOVING this log. So thankful to the big man at BPS for picking me!

Awesome feed back thanks man ! Really glad to hear it
 
Androcrine experts - how soon after applying can you shower? I've been showering 2-3 times a day here. Got me to wondering how long it takes to absorb. And don't worry, I'm just using after final shower for the day. Just curious...

FireTitan might be the go to for this one, I'd say try to apply right after the shower and as long it dried by the next one you should be ok !
 
When applying do it AFTER the shower dab dry the spot you're going to put the application on and then stand infront a fan, you'll be GTG after like 5 minutes tops.

lifted67, I think hes stating he does put it on after the shower, but how long should he wait before taking another shower? Im thinking as long as he has at least an hour to let the skin fully dry he should be good.

I would say 45-60 minutes. It dries super quick.

It will continue to absorb over an 8 hour period I believe. If taking multiple showers, I would split the dose up to multiple doses throughout the day or just do the whole dose after your last shower before bed, which would probably be the best option for best absorbsion. It would also insure that you aren't washing off product that is still viable.
 
Lift day. No lie, I didn't want to do this. It might be the Reese's pie from last night... But my family left to go to the pool when I was starting. Just kept thinking about laying by the pool. I still got it done, same weights, still feeling quite strong. Love that even when I feel "off" I can still move the same weight. Also feel like even on a day when I struggle, I tend to focus better later in the workout and that helps me push hard to the end.

If it makes you feel better, I watched my family eat these tonight. That place has the best butterscotch bomb ice cream too!

I dont do butterscotch so you have not regained any points with me!! Lol

And what you see is moose tracks. Apparently my dad thinks it's better than butterscotch. I was hoping to get to smell his butterscotch to get through the trauma.
