Just a quick story, This group is a local band that signed with universal records in 2001. They were freakin Great. The lead vocalist Nick I met him by accident when We found out we were banging the same chick . I was a counber locally and i was a tech for sprint PCS. I worked on his cell phone the day of his concert and that night during security He came up to me and we bull****ed and then we both said hey to the girl we were doing lol. Funny stuff.

POWER WEEK 3 SHOULDERS​

Today starts a 4 day weekend holla holla. I slept from 830am to about 3pm today. I didnt really eat much today but i do want to make notice that My hunger levels have increased 2 fold over the past 2 weeks. 1 reason could be due to my change in sleep pattern. People who are worn out have higher levels of Ghrelin release which is why people who sleep poorly are obese. But I thinks its more attributed to the gains over the past 2 weeks and the need for more food

So the minor tweak in my lower back from deadlifts on tuesday really ****in hurt. tuesday night into wed morning I was hurting to walk. All day yesterday into this morning wasnt too bad. Im hoping I can squat tommarow

POWER WEEK 3 legs​

Well i learned Im going back to Honorguard for another month. I guess Im just too much of a beast for them to let me go. So That will carry me right til march 7th then I go back to PA for a mch needed vacation march 8th-26th. along the way I get to see My friends Breaking Benjamin In concert , Ill get to hit up the st pattys day 24hr party In scranton PA. and Most importantly I get to show off for the *****es I havent seen in over a yr. Plus its the One yr anniversary of My fathers death so Im gonna go visit him as well. so the next 2 weeks plus are gonna be hard lifting and cardio to get that extra little bit out of me before I go home. Im gonna lift at home but Im gonna take a much needed 1 week break after week 9 to rest and recover



Ok on to the goods. My Back is still a bit sore so I didnt get to go as heavy as i wanted On the squat rack. It actually about buried me which is another thing. SQUAT WITH A SPOTTER. I dont and I almost paid for it today

I stepped on the scale today Im at 235lbs a loss of 3lbs whic is prob from the lack of food intake and I have my shoes off :)




Squats 335 atg x1 365 atgx1 375x1 385x1 385x1 395x1 405 x1/2 this is where the pain about buried me ​


Even with the belt notched tight as hell it didnt feel great going down so I knew i was stopping right there. Oh and I was using a medium sized belt which I normally use a large belt. :) so my wiast shrunk a tad


Leg press 805x3 825x3 850x3 850x3 ​


Some minor back discomfort, what really pisses me off is the machine has those dumb ass ROM stops so you can only bring your legs down parallel. I always remove them so I can bring my legs to my chest. The deeper the better for me. I colonel advised me today to use the ROM stops because that is what they are there for. I had to educate him on the fact is that they only let me drop about 8-10 inches and that doesnt cut it for me, so when he walked away i removed them :)

Invalid Link Removed


Today starts rep range week 3. I think i met the Overtraining Fairy today because Im feeling some Pian now. Im in the home stretch before I go home for vacation so I really pounded the weight today. i actually made a very large increase in My chest weight on rep range

Ok on to the goods



all rest period was 2 minutes iExperimented with WMS today and at about 1.5 hrs before the gym I took in 50 grams with 15 grams of Bcaa's I experienced a pump in my chest Like I have never felt before. As a matter of fact 2 hrs after my last rep as im writing this Im still full as hell. But when I picked My son up off the ground when i got home I cramped like no other as well

FLAT BENCH 250x8 255x8 255x8 255x8​

If you go back and read My last rep range week was 225 235 250 250 this week i started at 250 and went up. It was awesome feelin​

INCLINE DB PRESS 75 x12 75x10 75x9 75x10​

This is where i think i over did it i was shooting for 12 reps each set But it didnt happen. i was so beat I wanted to increase my rest But I still kep it to 2 min​


High cable cross 65x20 65x18 65x15​

this is also 20lbs more then last time as well. .​

Standing DB behind the neck Tri press 2 hands 85lb db x12 90lb db x10 90lb x10 90lb x10​

It was a working itself just getting these to my shoulder to go behind my head. I wanted to do them seated But all the benches were taken. I know if I was seated i could hit the 100-110lbers easily. But the fear of slinging a 100lb db above my head stopped me​


Seated Dip machine 140x12 140x12 140x12​

I was running out of time the Gym closes at 6pm due to pres day Plus this was a nice painful change of pace​

Single arm under hand pull downs 40x18 40lb x18​

​

Basically I could barely bend my arms and upon flex I couldnt flex my arm all the way due to the pump I had so I used a very light weight and at the top of the contraction on the machine I squeezed the hell out of it and forced it to contract all the way. It hurt so Ungodly bad I could feel My skin and Bicep splitting.

after this I had 2 scoops of regn-x and didnt bring any protein with me because I assumed we were going home So I hit BK and ordered 6 plain hamburgers ate 3 with bun abd other 3 without

I wished for a better workout i didnt have the intesity being back on day shift back in teh honor guard has tossed my sleep pattern into disarray
 
Day: 52
rep Range Shoulders​


Ok Bare with me. this is a piss poor entry. Due to the way I was feeling coupled with the fact that I strained My shoulder on the first exercise made for a fast uneventful lift. I will Note after i took a nap I popped 2 aleve and I just ate a **** load of food. 10 oz NY strip, Shrimp, artichoke and spinach dip with some fruchetta type bread, broccalli, sweet potatoes , and a side order of Ribs and i feel much better now. Ill sleep good here shortly



Seated BB Military press 135x12 135x10 ( here is where the strain came) 135x8 then gave up ​

​

I didnt really have any more lifts to try. I couldnt do front raises and no more pressing movements. I treid after about 20 min to no avail. so I packed it up and called it a day. at that time I felt like the top Of my head was gonna pop off like a volcano. Im hoping for a good leg day tomm.

I bet I ate 6000 cals today easily

[/QUOTE]
Followed REgen x dosing and rolled out. sore and wobbly
 
Im working on My finall review this week. i like to usually wait a week or 2 after all said and done to get my final thoughts in order.

It should be up this week. I added about 12-14 lbs and ironically My waist has dropped a size on My belt. ( my uniform has a fitted belt that I had to get pulled tighter)

im in the middle of my week off of training right now to recover fully and even though I hate taking time off its very much neeeded
 
Sorry for the delay, Like I said Im on vacation so Internet access is limited

I want to first off send thanks to Fitnfirm, Viper****, :) and the whole ALR crew behind the scenes. ( and atown i guess :) ) for giving me the opportunity to help establish thier new product BAM and the evo stack. What started out as a Comparison to the then "sister combo" from AX became a seperate log in itself.

I started off at about 223 lbs I ended right at 235lbs. along the way I had to have a new service coat ordered froma size 48 to a size 50. as far as individual numbers I have them back in PA so Ill update them in 5 days :)

My original goal was to provide a honest feedback of 2 seperate stacks in which I did at the 4 week mark, After that it evolved into a transformation for myself.

Goals ​

I wasnt to concerned with size as I was strength. My whole goal was to lift higher numbers. The scale wasnt a concern as much as emptying the tree in the gym onto the bar. Looking back through the log, seeing the numbers climb every week, seeing the reps climb to heights I never one achieved was a indication of success of this stack. Each week I hit new records in either weight pushed or reps achieved.

Most of my "lifting life" i lifted for mass in the 4-6 rep range. I never really ventured past 8 reps. so there was great joy in lifting weight i once used for 4-6 reps lifting it for 10-12 reps.

Side effects good and bad​

* Early on lack of appetite was present, I found myself forcing food down my throat, I had no real hunger issues, I saw a few logs that indicated this as well, But other times during the log I couldnt eat enough food, it was non stop. take it for what its worth. that was a neutral effect.

* The first 3 weeks oily skin very minor acne and oily hair, all are effects of increased test production. TO me that shows its working. Im older so acne isnt or never was a big issue. if your 21 -22 you could break out who knows each person is diff.

* Labido, ego, feelings of well being. All were very increased. which sucks if your significant other cant hang in the bedroom. I foundmyself wrestling the bald headed champ often :0 even on days of matress wrestling. Im naturally egotistical so this was no big deal to me :)

* Occasional headaches which came from lack of water I bet I drank 1000 gallons plus in 8 weeks i was constantly thristy which also left me pissing all night long from increased water and AI properties.

Final mumblings​

In the post-prohormone era its nice to see products like this coming out on the market. Gone are the days of 15-20lbs in 4 weeks. But keep in mind half those gains vanish even with great pct. Sure there are some products out there now that fall thru the cracks. But in my line of work, lining up proper pct is very very very very very difficult , SO to be able to to pack on 12lbs plus of quality keepable gains, that Dont leave me scrambling for proper pct, or jiggling shrunken nuts or other side effects is a huge plus for us. Im glad to see more and more companies going this route.

Im on week 3 of my post evo stack. I took 1 week off and didnt train at all. Im on vacation right now visitng family so My enviroment isnt "optimal" for muscle growth, with late nights, cocktails with the fella's and living out the good ole days one last time before im off oversea's , but all in all My weight is still 234. My strenght is still the same as it was 3 weeks back, which leaves me confident that all my gains will be kept and leaves me with a more solid foundation to build upon

SO this gets a gigantic egotistical, labido driven thumbs up from outside backer

If your 21 years of age or older and are looking for a good solid stack. go pick up some BAM, JW and Restore!
