Ha! I don't think you're a creeper.
We go to the Dells all the time as well. We are going to try the waterpark by Starved Rock. I think it's called Grizzly Jack's. Supposed to be a great Cajun restaurant near by. The owner took my buddy and his family in the back and showed them how to chop up...
Press day today. Gotta put more days in a row than I want since we're taking a little waterpark trip with the kids.
2 Strict press, 2 push press, 2 push jerk
5 working sets @ 80% effort @ 165
Bench
5x5 @ 245
I'm a CrossFitter. We don't bench. This is 20 pounds more than I used a few weeks ago...
PES insider? I'm not aware of what this is. Care to explain?
Follidrone is on my list to try. I'd like to try that and ABE as well.
I've always been natty and plan to stay that way. Seems like the products everyone raves about are...
1) X gels
2) Alphamax
3) ABE
4) Follidrone

I steal a LOT from Rob Orlando. He's the owner of Hybrid Athletics. Rob was a strongman who became a CrossFitter. Rob competed in both at a high level. He now delivers CrossFit's strongman cert.
His workouts are a great way to go heavy and get your conditioning in...

Side note. Been told by several people I look leaner. I have told no one about...
Body comp- no big changes so far. I'm going to monitor this more closely in the coming weeks.
Strength- continues to improve each day. No loss in strength from the few pounds I've dropped.
Sleep- is great! This is the best effect so far. Great mood as well.
Libido- I'm always ready...
I've been on Alphamax for 1 week now. 1 week. I'm down 4 pounds. Craziness.
Today's sesh was cut short. My mid back and spinal erectors locked up on me. Seems my DL PR came at a price.
I set a PR on PP and nailed 6 reps above contest weight in the C&J. Not too shabby for the old man with...
The snow melted and the pain in my legs has subsided...
New development for the week. I can't get enough food! My appetite is out of control. I've increased my calories and macros a bit and am making sure to eat clean. Been laying off those liquid calories as well.
Tonight was rough...
I awoke to snow and sore legs today. Snow! It's March. I left MN for a reason. The snow can stay on my driveway. I refuse to shovel.
Today's training session went extremely well. I had some fun push pressing into bands, my floor press weight for all sets was a 10 pound increase from a few...
Sunday is conditioning via metabolic conditioning. Can't let go of my CrossFit roots completely. I try to keep metcons short and intense.
The movements will mainly be lower body accessory work since I never get it all in on the day I am supposed to.
5 rounds for time

I will be logging my progress during my Alphamax and X Gels run. It can be found in the Supplement Logs section. I'm not tech savvy enough to post the link. My apologies.
I'm a 37 year old male transitioning from CrossFit to Strongman. 8 weeks from today I will be competing and have decided to stack X Gels and Alphamax to help me meet my goals. This is an unsponsored log. I will offer up my honest opinions at all times.
My goal...get stronger! CrossFit has...
I've only been on the x gels a short time. I'm taking 1.5g per workout day. I strength train 4 days per week. Haven't noticed the crazy DOMS people speak about or a crazy increase in pump. I have 3 bottles total, so I'm not worried about lack of effects on a few weeks.
Saturday will mark 8...
I'm in. Ordered some to stack with x gels. I'll be using those products to prepare for a strongman comp in May. We'll see what happens. I plan on posting a review.

I'm currently moving from CrossFit to Strongman and training for a comp in May. Since I have diagnosed anxiety issues I avoid stimulants. So far, I feel I could use a boost for the longer workouts and insane volume I've been doing. My new training template is a bit...
