Well, the write up is accurate. This may sound lame, but think about it: most write-ups are, at worst, total bull****, or at best, over-hyped hyperbole.
Not the case here. What you read is exactly the case. Props to AN for not pumping it up too much.
But that's boring, let me fluff this bad boy up:
I got up at 5:30am yesterday, worked from 7am-8pm. I ate my last meal pre-workout at 4pm, hardly ideal. BUt I took my 5 caps RPM at 8pm as I left work; about half way to the gym I noticed a strong feeling of alertness and drive or 'edge'.
I got to the gym, bought a Rapid Recovery drink to take the edge off the hunger, and expected little else due to the 5 hours without food.
I immediately noticed a spring in my step when going upstairs to the weights. Odd, I should've felt a bit 'dead' or heavy.
I started with DL. I've been doing a 5 x 5 and staying under 275 for the last 2 months. My max has been 335, and no matter what I've done I haven't been able to break it. Because I hadn't eaten, I thought I'd kep it light this time too. So here's what I did.
10 x 45
10 x 95
10 x 135
5 x 185
5 x 235
5 x 255
I then realized I felt GREAT, and it was feeling light, so I decided to see how far I could take it.
1 x 275
1 x 295
1 x 315
1 x 335
1 x 345
Total weight lifted = 7690lbs
PR attained!!! Now, the past two months training contibuted, for sure, but understand that when I've hit 335 in the past, it looked like this:
10 x 45
10 x 95
10 x 135
1 x 185
1 x 225
1 x 275
1 x 305
1 x 335
Total weight lifted = 4,075
So, clearly, I lifted a TON more weight before setting my PR. Wait, not a ton, a ****ing ASSTON more.
I went on to do flat dumbell press, chest supported rows, dips, calves, and abs. I kept the same weights I normally do WITHOUT having PR'd on DL.
Get that? To recap, I was up since 5:30am, worked 12 hours, DIDN'T EAT for 5 hours pre-workout, yet set a PR and SMOKED the rest of my workout.
My credit card is in hand.
