  1. Don't feel normal unless you're weight training

    I have similar experiences after lifting for about 6 years or so. In other perspectives I see how it is a strange compulsion, but the activity becomes an end in itself rather than a means (body comp, weight goals, etc,). Also, read the overtraining article here on AB since there's some...

  2. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Just checking in. I've begun to implement some "layer system," days in programming because I rely on heavy compounds rather than a ton of variety and volume. One can find C Thibadeaus layer system on a search. It certainly feels like it covers all bases. First time squatting with the system and...

  3. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Going forward I will post summations of cycles. For the first run, 25 workouts/ 30 servs: The stack will continue. For this period the Ara enhanced the occurrence of pumps during low volume training. Perhaps it can be attriibuted to awareness, but I have carefully redirected workouts around...

  4. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Yesterday my upper body day went well. Had to cut it early and didnt get much of a pump since wverything was below 4 reps for work. Did some close grip for 8 though and got a tricep pump from that. Today was more or less "supposed" to be the low medium intensity lower body day, but I worked up...

  5. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Upper body went well. It seemed like the pump was so good that my skin was red at my triceps : o Anyways. I hit lower body today and reached a 2 rm pr. Finished first rounds of test1fy, Ara, and almost done with tr1umph. Wil be going thru a second round before swapping to a diff stack

  6. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Two days ago was a day off unexpectantly. Day after I did squats and underpreformed a medium degree workout. Today is upper body, where I will attempt an increased load on bench for 2 or 3 reps. Everything else like back and shoulder work will prob be for reps. Will Describe it better post workout

  7. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    This speculative injury ocurred about 5 years ago. I cannot afford an mri nor the surgeory if there is a tear. I don't feel that there is incentive to excluding ArA trial just for this condition. I appreciate the advice on the suggested stacks, I will research those you listed. Yesterday I hit...

  8. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Two days ago I took a day off after 6 days. Yesterday 315 felt somewhat heavy with squats so I dod a low volune, quad focused day. Today I hit upper body and progressed with intensity on bench and pull ups.

  9. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Yesterday I hit a quick sesh of bench, hit some high intensity and moved to some pullups. Not much of a pump workout but the lats are producing more force. Today I hit squats. I just aimed for an autogenic sesh to decide intensity and volume since last squat sesh sucked. I managed 315 fairly...

  10. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Yesterday was a day off. Today I didnt feel a good performance so I limited myself to light bench press and squats

  11. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    While gradually diminishing volume (85-95% @ 2-3 reps for 5-8 sets previously, to 85-105% @ 2-3 reps for 2-3 sets) on the main movements, I have been able to demonstrate my strength gains more clearly and more frequently during this week. For squats I have hit, compared to two weeks ago, 90% for...

  12. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Today I did not feel much soreness is my lower extremities or glutes. Same with shoulders. I preformed reasonably on the bench, hitting similar intensity as last session. Did some paused bench for a nice pec stretch and killed lats with volume on single arm cable pulldowns. Decent pump in lats...

  13. Low back/hip tightness

    Rear foot raised split squat.. though when my psoas is tight all I need to do is a tiny partial lunge with a neutral pelvis angle and i can feel stretch. It does not take much, do not force it.

  14. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    With more symptoms diminished, I took no worries as I preformed squats today. I was able to hit heavy despite the high intensity last Monday. I think I am more aware of my squatting strength and the relationship between volume, intensity and frequency. I cut most volume from accessories to...

  15. A Power Stack of ArA, Anacyclus, and LCLT (Phosphaditic acid too!)

    Thank you sir! Felt a sore throat oncoming two days ago. My symptoms of an illness worsened slightly, so I took the day off yesterday, took a midday nap, and went to bed early. I kept reawakening during the night, like 3 or 4 times, and felt terrible. Persistent headache and sinus pain. Middle...
