    Favorite gym shirt thus far. The fit is insane and it's comfortable too! I haven't found anything to complain about towards USP Labs yet.

    Sparks' Never Ending Training Log

    Too kind bro, too kind. Honestly, there's some days where I feel I worked really hard and others where I felt like I could've personally done better. Granted, those of us who actually get up and are active is more work than most people are willing for one reason or another to put forth. If all I...

    I felt I was a little flat and frankly too small to compete in any of the "heavier" classes. Hell, Steve Cook competes in men's physique (transitioning to classic division?) and he's a monster.

    I have. And I will one day. I think I'm sitting at a respectable spot now, and after this offseason I'm highly considering competing once I add on some more quality mass. I want to sit at around 200 cut down, instead of the 188 I had reached a few months ago. To be honest I've just been scared...

    No worries, HG! Like I said, I took a pretty long hiatus from following and posting for a while. So, no hard feelings. And while I greatly appreciate your comment about training like a "pro", I couldn't be anything further from that! Maybe I'm too hard on myself, maybe I'm so narcissistic that...

    Sparks' Never Ending Training Log

    Yesterday was a solid leg session, started with sumo pulls and I hit somewhat of a PR I guess. I don't think I've done 345 x 10 before (more like 7 +3 rest pause because a plate fell off one side. Damn bumper plates). Worked up to 1k+ on sled press and the reps were more controlled than ever...

    You know it my man, it was much needed. I just felt so worn down from dieting and tracking and training. Glad to be back in business though. I must admit, motivation still falters every now and then and it takes me a little longer to get in the zone since these winter months have set in. Once I...

    Chest/bi's today, strength still isn't exactly where I left off but it's coming back quick and it's honestly looking like some solid gains will be made this season. Don't know what it is; whether it be more endurance, better focus, or just plain old pushing through the sh%t, I was pushing past...

    Hey guys, sorry for the hiatus, again. Took last week off (6-12 Nov) from everything except for my PT test. That WAS my main concern, so after that I wasn't tracking anything diet wise. Wife and I took a trip to Wales, had a blast and our dog did too (If anyone wants to see some pics feel free...

    Alright fellas, so the squatting every session thing is working out pretty well. I've got some reworking to do as far as how my actual leg days are planned out, as a majority of it in the past was squatting. Slight "setback" but nothing major, I did 3x6 yesterday working up to 265, and I can...

    It's all good man. I haven't been as active either, taking a break from spending all free time on here lol...I need to get back on the boards more frequently though. And yes, maybe you can't take any credit towards the flavor of the product, but you sure as hell opened my eyes, as well as...

    Today was squats and back, I didn't hit a 5x5 (paused reps) as planned. Instead I hit 5's up until 275 (4th set) for a solid 3 paused, then pushed for 1 x 295 (tiny pause, lol I didn't want to get stuck under that in a half rack). So, i did PR with the "new" squat form I've been using and the...

    Bro I would love that more than anything as well, I'm excited for whenever my next run will be because I'll be throwing down on some BPS. Might not run anything for a while though. I want to enjoy the holidays and not worry about not being able to partake in some adult beverages should I choose...

    Sparkss journey to recovery

    Dunno about any compounds yet man, I'm just loosening the belt, so to speak, on the diet. I feel that since I'll be squatting every session I'll be burning even more cals so I don't see an issue with adding in carbs and more cals right now. At the very least, I know what to do and how my body...

    Awesome work man! You're showing some great progress and you're adding some dense mass. Don't worry, you can still see some abs there too[emoji6] I'm getting tired of having to do the "upkeep" to stay really lean, so I'll probably stop being super strict on the diet here soon and allow more...

    Awesome session, ModernPre works amazing even when fasted. First day of high frequency squatting in the books. 5x5 box squat working up to 345. Surprised myself there, but I'm gonna keep pushing my numbers with this new setup. After squats I immediately hit incline db's, then flat hex press...

    Also, looking to switch up my program. My current one is getting boring, and I'm losing some drive to get in there. Still looking to try something where you squat every day, something similar to a Smolov program, but with a more bodybuilding focus. About to go in and start with a quick 5x5 on...

    Damn man. If I wasn't trying to pay down CC's right now I'd be all in those sales, including BPS' sales too FireTitan. I've yet to try anything by either brand, and I've heard great things about both. Currently the wife and I are in "Save up/pay off everything for the upcoming PCS mode", lol...
