I used 2 bottles of this, when applying I would squirt it directly on the muscle I was working that day and gently spread it out using 1 finger. This seemed to work fine for me and the product was... -
Day 32 161 Lbs I’m starting noticing some increased muscle hardness and more of that all day pump feeling, I believe this is from the 3AD. Current dosing is AM 2 pumps ultra three 4 pumps...

a lot of truth to that. its crazy how accurate Michael Keaton's mini series "dope sick" actually is to real life.
-
I definitely understand brother, and don’t do anything you’re not comfortable with. But I will say Doctors are ill informed about not taking supplements to help the immune system with autoimmune...
-
Ooh yeah totally agree….that’s part of why I suggested the Immune Support XT because it has the elderberry, vit C, echinacea, and a host of other goodies in it as well. And totally agree on the...

we are the same way. I haven't been "stay home from work" sick since 2016. On top of those things you listed if we feel the slightest bug come on, we don't hesitate to get pho on our way home from...

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

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.I’m not gonna lift today, I feel like I’m coming down with something

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...

ebbs and flows!

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...

Shadowblaze replied to the thread First log Formeron and 3AD.Weight is a weird thing lol. I’ve always looked like I’m 30lbs heavier and I’m 5’10 rn

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.Just wanted to say thank you guys for always giving great advice. This is exactly what I need to hear, and you’re truly setting me up for the rest of my training my whole life. My posts have been...

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.Day 125: Today was supposed to be upper body day but I hit lower body because I wanna save upper body for tmrw. I got a Passover dinner tomorrow and need to get in and out of the gym quicker so...

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...

Shadowblaze replied to the thread The Maximus Pact.Thanks brother, my friends used to always joke that I have a tennis ball stuck inside of there😂 or that they could pop my bicep with a pin. LOL I have very short biceps
