Yeah I think a lot of people need to hear this!This needs to be put on a poster in every gym in the world ha. Amen
Thank you man, appreciate it!Awesome log!
I guess that's good and bad. Good for the diet and bad for the good tasting food!Also I’m a Norwegian living in Sweden and between us, the Christmas food here is really lacking. So it doesn’t tempt me much haha.
Haha I guess i should explain that statement.I guess that's good and bad. Good for the diet and bad for the good tasting food!
Dude it was all amazing haha.haha that cake sounds amazing.
2 caps should be plenty .. i do 2 caps for 50g carbs .. and then increase if im going heavy
glad the workouts have been great even on deload
The timing was just a bit hard as I didn’t really know when we were gonna eat. But tomorrow will be easier as I’m doing the cooking! So I will try getting them in 30 minutes before I eat!As gq said, two caps is good but I would dose them a bit further away (30min is usually where I go - too long and you can feel hypo)
Deloads are such a mental struggle for me. I rarely can justify them to myself ha
Yeah it can be a pain to get it totally exact. Personally I never really get hypo issues so I err on the side of too long to make sure everything is in my system but for some that’s a big no noThe timing was just a bit hard as I didn’t really know when we were gonna eat. But tomorrow will be easier as I’m doing the cooking! So I will try getting them in 30 minutes before I eat!
Tomorrow is the first non Deload workout and I can’t wait!
im a huge music for the mood type of guy and definitely agree that a good beat once you're up and about can make all teh difference in your energy levels. I used to lift early AM for a long time and still listened to music, but far more mellow tunes vs an afternoon lift. and always go for PR's in a later day session!

This was a fantastic workout, best workout of the year...
Had a bunch of food yesterday and i trained later in the day than usuall so I had a few more meals in me as well. Because of that the energy and pump i had and got was off the chain.
When i work out in the AM i never listen to music while training, i just find it to noisy. So i always listen to audiobooks or podcasts. But today when i was there at 1PM i blasted music and the energy was fantastic. If i was a millionaire id definitely make sure that id get to train in the middle of the day each day! But as it is i need to work
All the food did not take away from my shape either!

Yeah sleep should be a priority to everyone who wants gains (among other things). But most people neglect it but REALLY focuses on getting the newest supplements. Stepping over Dollars to pick up Dimes.Agreed on the sleep part! I try get an average of 8 but most of the time it's around 6 or 7 hours each night.
Agreed. It's crazy what 8+ hours of sleep consistently will get you in terms on energy and progress.Yeah sleep should be a priority to everyone who wants gains (among other things).

Im trying to think if i ever in my life had that haha. Maybe when i was a kid but not as an adult!Agreed. It's crazy what 8+ hours of sleep consistently will get you in terms on energy and progress.
Thank you brother, i appriciate it! Welcome to the log.#goals bro your diced up AF. So inspiring to get work to get to that level. Sorry I’m late to the party on the log.
Agreed. As an adult especially if you have kids you can say goodbye to those 8 hours of sleep nights.Im trying to think if i ever in my life had that haha. Maybe when i was a kid but not as an adult!
Yeah well you got your hands on the Energized Aminos first! Now we will have to see who gets the Daily Ergogenic supplement first!Trying to make me jealous??? Haha
Look forward to your progress!
Thanks Bob!Can't wait to see your feedbck man.
Well thats what forums are for! Discussing experiences as it pertains to individuals. Unfortunately its getting harder and harder to get solid feedback. If one tries to find it on IG or FB its mostly hyped up results and effects. Im glad we still have a forum like this where people are allowed their opinions and we can still trust in one another.Yea, just had to be honest in my review. I got nothing out of it. Hopefully you get something positive out of it.
nice pick up .. you look ripped as hell already lol
Thanks man! Yeah im enjoying everything about my training, diet and supplement regime now. Great feeling!Definitely can tell the striations in your left pec in that pic. Nice workout! keep it up!
Haha thanks man, yeah i did a serious cut for my 41th birthday last october and even after increasing my calories i kept burning of fat. So I just switched over to a body recomp with the goal of keeping my bodyfat low, but trying to add mass at the same time. So far its going great!nice pick up .. you look ripped as hell already lol
I had great results with AE ( on PCT last year) . right now im only 9 days in and loving it already .. are u gonna start after finishing ara ?
glad you had nice pumps on Super Swole .. yeah its hard to explain a taste of it
nice plan and nope no issues .. can overlap it .. but for first time i think you are doing the right running it after ara runHaha thanks man, yeah i did a serious cut for my 41th birthday last october and even after increasing my calories i kept burning of fat. So I just switched over to a body recomp with the goal of keeping my bodyfat low, but trying to add mass at the same time. So far its going great!
Yes my plan is to finish my Ara run then jump straight into AE. Is there any problems running them back to back like that? I cant find anyting about that.
all reviews are good so long as they're honest! Not everything will work for everyone so its always good to be able to compare notes.Yea, just had to be honest in my review. I got nothing out of it. Hopefully you get something positive out of it.
Agreed with this. I really enjoy reading an honest review whether negative or positive on a supplement.all reviews are good so long as they're honest! Not everything will work for everyone so its always good to be able to compare notes.
Haha yeah that stack would probably be insane. But damn, some EU distributor would have to have a crazy good sale for me for that one!nice plan and nope no issues .. can overlap it .. but for first time i think you are doing the right running it after ara run
and if AE solo goes well .. take a break and can stack them together for more fun lol
First, I wanted to say that I admire your dedication - to your diet, training, and to this log.Supplementation
- ARA- I have not started my Ara run yet as i havent gotten my GMS and L-Carnitine. Im getting it today so I will implement it tomorrow!
- VasoForceXT- Been using this for the last half of the week. Im a a pump junkie and love my l-citrulline and nitrates, so i was very interested in seeing how this stacked against the likes of High Volume and Ghost Pump. It performed beautiful and the pumps was solid and long lasting. A little weird taking capsuels instead of some weird tasting drink, but im enjoying it.
- GlycoPhase - As discussed in the thread I have no use for it pre-workout, but i did use it for my "cheat" meal and damn, i was dry as a bone in the evening that day. So Im thinking it pulled both carbs and water into the muscles, cuz it was damn noticable in the mirror before bed.
