Well, you are an old facker
Doesn't everyone log everything?
I think he logs things because the older he gets the harder it is to remember.

Damn brother!!! 415 for 7 reps? That's some weight for sure... my 1RM is 405... I'd be ecstatic if I could rep that weight out

Lol, that too.Doesn't everyone log everything?

I was going to catch up before getting a nap in, but somewhere along the lines of Ron Jeremy I decided I have to be way behind and have no idea whats going on in here.

I did about 15 minutes if HIIT on the treadmill tonight...But I am out of shape for that. Need to get that back.
It seems like life keeps throwing me curve balls that mess with my diet. Excuses. Thursday we had a blizzard and I lost power for 9 hours and couldn't cook and wound up getting chicken teriyaki from the local Chinese food place. Last night I just started snacking and blew it. It's like I have one or two days of diet lockdown, then blow it. I am going to do better...Especially after promising everyone 15 pounds in 30 days!
I have been taking Defuse during my big cheat meals though and my weight is holding steady at 188. I also think my strength is going up a little...Honestly...I kind of "feel" like I am growing in that my muscles aren't quite sore from DOMS, but there is a feeling of light DOMS that lasts for days after a workout. It is hard to explain.
I did about 15 minutes if HIIT on the treadmill tonight...
Be very careful of sprints on a treadmill. Several years ago, I pulled my hamstring doing HIIT on a treadmill. Over the years, it never quite healed. It would FEEL fine and then I'd pull lunging for a frisbee, for example.
My Physical Therapist said sprinting on a treadmill is a huge risk because it yanks the legs back on each pace, rather than a natural run where the muscle is pushing the leg back.

Hey man, thanks for that. I actually don't like HIIT on a treadmill at all. It isn't really HIIT because the treadmill will only go up to 10 MPH and I can sustain that for over a minute before I'm too winded to continue. I can't go outside because of all the snow though, it kind of sucks. I think part of the reason I can go 10 MPH on it is actually just what you pointed out, the belt is doing some of the work. It's probably a good thing I wasn't going all out.
And if it does tell us anyway so we can kick your petuti! Shapoopi, shapoopi.....
What the h3ll HIT4ME? D@mnit man catch us up...and it better not include hamburgers and french fries you chunkilicious man
And if it does tell us anyway so we can kick your petuti! Shapoopi, shapoopi.....
Exactly!!
*peaking head back in* - doesn't see rtmilburn..OK, coast is clear. He kinda freaked me out a little haha.
So, last week sucked, I was clearly over training (ironic for a guy with a Mentzer avatar), and everything was sideways.
I've been taking the black cumin seed powder along with my Epitome and decided to do a carb refeed last night. I think that despite my diet being not so tight, I tend to eat low carbs at times without realizing and maybe that was part of my issue.
So, today after that I haven't been hungry at all. I had 2 scoops Select, 1 cup egg beaters, 2 tbsp coconut oil, 2.5 oz. Fat free cheese....And that's it so far. I will probably have a Greek yogurt and ...I don't know maybe some jerky or something later. Will finish the day around 1000 calories.
Tonight's workout:
Deadlifts:
1 x 8 x 315 warm up
1 x 7 x 415
Supersetted with:
Hyper Extensions:
1 x 10 x BW + 90
Pull Ups
1 x 7 x BW + 25
Dropset 1 x 3 x BW
Bent Over Rows:
1 x 7 x 175
Supersetted with

Barbell Preacher Curls:
1 x 3 x 75
Drop set 1 x 2 x 65
Drop Set 1 x 4 x 55
And that was it. I may add in shoulders to this workout and make it into A/B workouts...But for this week I will stick to the plan - legs and shoulders in Thursday.
The DCP is really ripping me up any time I take it on an empty stomach. Just a little fat (coconut oil in a shake or almond milk, etc) or food makes it painless. I thought it was the Bromelain in the Orange Triad that helped, but OT works better than the Now Bromelain, so maybe it is another ingredient.
And, now I have to get back at this and show ChocolateClen how we roll here. I am feeling much more motivated after the refeed and cutting back on the training. I should be able to get this going now.
Something that is weird...Despite gaining weight and having a rough spot and now weighing 188 - the tops of my abs are showing when I flex them. I couldn't see my abs before until I was probably at least 10 pounds lighter.
Also, maybe the rest and refeed helped, but 7 x 415 on deadlifts is pretty darned good for me. When I pulled my back two weeks ago it was probably doing 8 x 400 and that was crazy hard for me...And a record at the time. I am thinking the BMP must be kicking in there...Hard to say scientifically but I am getting stronger and I will take it.
With BMP it's common to stay the same or even gain weight while losing fat...that's why I'm so anxious to get this back in. I have enough ingredients to do another 100 or so pouches then we have to start planning on another run of capsules. My strategy has to be perfect here...but all of your support is really helping out, and I appreciate it.
Word from Greece is that taking the DCP with a fish oil or two really helps a ton. I'm going to probably have to switched to a buffered capsaicin for this this next run. It really limits my sales with everyone getting heartburn.
Thanks guys. Actually, it sucks because tonight is usually my cheat night and I skipped VDay dinner last night so tonight WAS a cheeseburger and fries.
I've been holding steady at 188. My diet kind of sucks. I am sucking it up. Life is crushing me at the moment and I am exhausted and give in easily. Still, feeling better with the new training regimen.

This wasn't bad considering the king week at work and the long day today.
Honestly, I have to say, given my diet being half assed, I would totally be gaining weight if it weren't for what I've been using for supplements. I just need to get my sh1t together!!! Disappointed in myself.

HIT4ME, Nice Workout! You will find your way..
Quit your b1tchin!! We know life is kicking you in the ballz right now, as it is me. I have ti make excuses so I look to you for strength! And FYI...cheeseburger and fries was my supper last night, it was a holiday damnit! I have been, am and will continue to be proud of you, so keep diggin my friend!
HIT4ME, You doing good Brother! It's nothing wrong making a mistake in weight training or life itself. But it will become a issue if We don't address it, or correct it. Lets Go! You can do this!
I owe it to you guys...And I owe it to ChocolateClen to expand what he sees as possible.
Where the fck is ChocolateClen? Did he disappear on us again?
Life is crushing me at the moment and I am exhausted and give in easily. Still, feeling better with the new training regimen.
Do you want to know how to die swimming in a strong outgoing tide? You die by swimming straight against the current.
The way you survive a strong tide is by swimming at an angle towards shore, but not directly opposite the current.
You say you're exhausted and giving in easy. Well I say that's because you're directly fighting against the tide. Go at an angle for a bit while you build yourself back up.
Translation: Stop doing what's exhausting you and start doing what excites you. Maybe give yourself more HEALTHY fuel for a couple of week. Maybe take a week or two off lifting to allow for some recovery. Or change your workout to something less taxing for a couple of weeks.

Something called "skewl"...like book lernin gonna get him somewhere...![]()

Sound advice. HIT won't do that though. He's too crazy![]()
He's trying to get out of the hood.

That was it.
Today's diet - 2 scoops protein , 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 4 oz chicken, 1 bag broccoli, a few ravioli my gf made.
Totals should be around 1100 calories, but only around 100 g protein. Not good.
I started taking Testruction today and usning Supernova (although I still have some abliderate left).
I also took some Radiate by RXS today. They sent me 3 samples and I have to say it is pretty decent. It gave me good appetite suppressant, good energy. The energy was clean, no jitters. It lasted for 6-7 hours and then I had a little crash. I was a little surprised by this because DMHA usually doesn't have a crash - but it was minor and I've had a day that was long, boring and had a lot of sitting around waiting for people - so maybe the crash has to do with that.
I feel more motivated today...Hoping to get the energy levels back and get this rolling.
Looking forward to reading how you like Testruction after 3 or 4 weeks. Curious if you continue to feel the difference or if your body adjusts.
Also, you only felt the difference on the 2nd dose of the day? Nothing on the first one?
Nice gym work brother!
I'm on my off week.
Already got some radiate on order and looking at supernova as well.
Got a couple of bottles of DTP v3. Going to start that tomorrow. Got 2 bottles of FD2 haven't decided if I'm going to add this or not. Don't like doing too many supplements at one time.
I know the FD2 works! Done it before. Not sure about the other stuff but might log the DTP V3.
That's the way I am. I like to see what works for different things before I stack them. Think I will hold off on the FD2 if I can control my self?Brother, I have two bottles of FD2 sitting in my office and I have only not cracked them open because I want to give the Evomuse stuff a straight shot. I have already used almost everything I am running in the past, with the exception of the BMP and Testruction. In other words...I am running a bit but I know how it all effects me individually and in various combos.
I have been feeling the BMP has been making me stronger, and I am excited to see how it works with the Testruction.
That's the way I am. I like to see what works for different things before I stack them. Think I will hold off on the FD2 if I can control my self?
What is BMP?
I'm happy to see you running this. Had my mind on Testruction for a while; I've just about run everything else from EM with quite decent results. It's good to have an intelligent and straightforward review.
See - now I got another reason to hang out here!![]()
