Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.Thanks bro! Yeah doctors are definitely ill informed when it comes to some aspects of overall health and nutrition. I should probably start pre and post biotics and a multivitamin for sure... -
Hopefully you get through this one quickly. 🙏

Not sure what supplements you take daily as your staples. I think you told us that medication you take for your autoimmune condition is a biologic, which helps your condition but unfortunately...

Shadowblaze replied to the thread EvoMuse Presents: AndroLo Pro.Would you lose some effect of androlo pro if you use your hands to apply it? I’m just worried a significant amount of it will get absorbed into my hands

Day 28 160 lbs It’s been 5 days now with the addition of 3AD, I had a great workout this afternoon felt like I had a little extra juice.

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.Day 127: I was so tired today but I still pushed hard. I hit what I hit for 5 reps last time for 7 today. These forced rep sets seem to be helping. I’m finding more enjoyment in this new split. I...

Shadowblaze replied to the thread First log Formeron and 3AD.Thanks bro! That means a lot truly. I’m currently hovering at 176 at 5’10. I look a good bit heavier though, I’m trying to get back to 182 which was my highest ever (2 months ago, then I got sick...

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.Day 126: I had a good lift today, I like this higher frequency Mike mentzer style training. The pump is intense. I was feeling pretty tired though, but that will get better. I’m excited for...

Its a tough reality and balance. I think you'll find most of the gymrats here in AM sacrifice a lot of other things because the gymlife is a big priority. it takes a life time to find balance. my...

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.Yessir, for me right now it’s consistency, enjoyment and recovery that I’m valuing. So I’m gonna try this new approach to see if it helps.
-
I don’t even think it matters what is “optimal”. What really matters is what you like, what you will do & can sustain - because it’s consistency and effort over time that matter so much for...

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.Been pretty unhappy with my results recently and having trouble fitting in stuff other than work and the gym. So I’m switching from 4 days per week to 6 days a week and cutting my volume...
-
For longterm weight gain, the idea is to treat it like training volume: progressive, but in a manner you personally can sustain. You want to avoid big yo-yos. Just like a training blitz that you...

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.Day 124: Had another pretty good lift today. Feeling nice and sweaty. Been getting a bit burned out from eating so much though.

I completely agree, do not do things that hurt. The goal is to do the biggest ROM you can without pain, but that’s critical. And lifting heavy in a big ROM is definitely more risky; even if you...

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.This is the max depth I can squat to without a risk of a flare up. It’s not ideal but it’s the best I can do.

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.@Hyde im gonna cut the ROM back on my squats again. My spine right now just isn’t built for deep squats. I know we had a lot of discussion on squat ROM and decided that more is usually better. But...

I had tagged you originally because you know so much about stuff like what Shadow asked in his post: I’m looking for some elbow wraps, elbow sleeves, knee wraps and knee sleeves for my training... -

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.Day 123: I had another pretty good lift today. I was pretty fatigued though for some reason. Gonna try to lock in with the sleep quality maximizing. I got an air purifier and nasal strips just to...
