Didnt take my swell/blast combo today because I forgot to bring it to work with me...boy did I pay for that....I could feel the lack of endurance the entire session. Won't make that mistake again today.

Still a strong session considering the total output.

Great update...I know what you mean about "feeling it" when you miss a pre-workout Blast/Poseidon dose. Hows that song go..."You don't know what you have until it's gone!" ;)

i ordered 2 containers of swell, to get the clumpy poseidon :) I avoided the blast just cause i'm back to trying to clip stims...
 
Squats

315 for 3x5

~~Little note here: On the 3rd rep of my last set I made the common mistake of letting my elbows come back and back bent over, which threw me off my rythm bad and I basically good morning'd 315 --- which is stupid bc I should've just let it fall. Nevertheless this hindered my upcoming numbers pretty good.

-----Ok well this is the end of the first week of my new training schedule. I am enjoying it thus far, has taken a little getting used to with all of the compounds on the same day...I can feel my body kind of in shock, but responding well. I am inching my way back up the scale from being sick and I feel my strength SLOWLY but also surely coming back too. I am more than excited to see whats in store. I am going to take this weekend and do absolutely nothing but sleep in and eat.....ALOT. Even if it is dirty I am gonna force feed myself all weekend to try and get back this weight...right now I am hovering around 205 in the mornings and 208 at night.

Took my swell and blast before my session wed and today, just makes all the diff. in the world. Everything felt really light today.

Felt really good today, I guess I just overestimated how much different it is to do multiple sets of high rep Deads, pretty difficult. The last set of RG rows I THINK is a PR, but don't quote me on that. Form was great today, everything felt very comfortable.

Ended the week off with a bang, squats have ALWAYS been my big weakness, but I nailed them this week...and I feel that I have WAY more to give em. I hope to be repping 415x6 in a couple months...I really feel thats possible, bc I FINALLY have my form down for the first time ever, and I have made incredible progress the past few weeks...345 felt very light.

CANNOT stress how good I feel lately.

Have a great weekend!

Workout was awesome today. Energy was good, and everything was just very very solid all the way around, no struggling with any of the weights or anything. Felt great. I am gaining weight also, yes you heard right, I am REALLY gaining weight. Scale read 212 this morning which is great considering the lbs I am moving around.

Off for two days...going to take tomorrow totally off and go in Thurs. and do some light cardio and ab work.

Man, your numbers are really going up! I don't know why you think your squats suck. I did 7 @ 240 the other day and was stoked!...lol.
I know it's nearly impossible, but how much do you think you can contribute to Swell and Blast and how much to natural progression?

All in all I was pleased, made a little progress from last week which is always a plus. Hittin Back & Arms tomorrow, then its two days of MAX rest and MAX eat. :D

INTENSE!! workout today, I blitzed everything in under 50 min....and out.....

NOTE: If you live in GA and are near area code 31021....the biggest football game this city has seen is Sunday - 3pm @ Springdale Park!!!
 
Well this brings my SWELL and BLAST log to an end.

I just want to say I THOROUGHLY enjoyed both of these products and will DEFINITELY be buying again, no doubt about it.

Some of the biggest things that I noticed were:

(1) Endurance/Energy in the gym - This was probably the most prominent, my workouts have been killer lately and I have even set some PR's which is great. I just felt like I had to make myself leave the gym, which isn't common. The BLAST really got me in the zone and ready to tear it up in the gym.

(2) Hydration - I felt so good during my workouts during this log. It was great. Just a clean great feeling. (def. the poseidon inclusion in both formulas)

(3) Energy Levels out of the gym: This is something I LOVED, I honestly felt great all day as well as slept very very well at night....probably the poseidon again here, but I think some of the SWELL ingredients were involved too.

Just wanna thank Aaron and everyone over at Nimbus for making yet 2 more phenomenal products for us all to enjoy. Keep up the good work guys!!
