BPS Vanillean teams up with cheda

[jwa254]

Awesome. I just got up at 5am to head out to the gym. Took 2 scoops of jack3dmicro and then when I went to leave at 545, noticed that there's snow on the ground and more is coming down. Being from primarily from the east coast of VA, I'm not particularly use to this or the 20 degree weather. I'll have to redo this all later today I suppose.

Now I've got to figure out what the hell I'm going to do for the rest of my day. I'm off work and don't have a class until 4 (though I suppose that'll be canned too if it continues snowing).

So u can't train? I'm from CT- it's murderously cold- walking around college campus is not cool. It should be closed it's so cold haha. I could use a nice snow day. I won't be training til later- havent slept much. Need to sleep to wake up vanilleanER !!

 

[jwa254]

I feel ya man. I'm sure the cold here on average isn't much compared to CT. The high today is suppose to be 30 degrees with a feels-like of 15. For me, being ill-prepared for this type of weather is more the problem than anything else. I could train right now, but I typically walk to my gym as it's barely a mile away. Starting my car would be more trouble than it's worth. As like I said, I'm totally unprepared for snow weather. No ice scraper for the windshield, my defrost works half-ass, etc etc etc. I'll just go around noon.

Glad to see you're enjoying Vanillean though brotha.

Guess I can't complain about it bring 12 degrees here.

Slept like a baby for 4 1/2 hours. Feels great !
No Katie Upton appearance in my dreams like I hoped.

[chedapalooza]

Very intense workout with some pr's ... Leaving like I could crush another full workout tho! Wtf?!?

 

[chedapalooza]

Bps should supply a new pair of jeans with all VL bottles. My WAIST Is too small for my favorite go-to jeans... And my legs have gotten too big. Pretty uncomfortable in these right now hah. Oh yea, a shirt I haven't worn in like 2 months that was big on me is now almost skin tight in the chest/shoulders and blousy in the waist. Moral of story- don't get dressed to go out at the gym anymore. My body has changed!

 

[fumoney]

Back in the log game cheda.

Vanillean will be included in my stack of 5 products. Still testing out vanillean. I just finished 2 hour session of cardio. Testing myself right now to see how much I can push myself. 1,787 calories burned. I don't think I have a drop of water left in my body. Chugging on water right now.

Haha. This is some good stuff.

That's bull****. Matt and BPS conspiring to ruin all our wardrobes and force us to buy the sizes we haven't been able to fit in for years. I'm throwing my bottles out now.

Haha....forget the stretchy belt. Just get a bull rope and tie it up tighter each time your waist gets smaller.

Workout for day 24- Thursday Jan 24

5 minutes elliptical warmup

Chest volume
Incline BB bench- 165x5,5,5,5,5,5,4,5,5,4
(10 sets of 5 goal- two missed sets due to fckers distracting me by slamming weights on the bench racks!) will be doing 170x4 for 10 sets next week-170 will be a weight PR next week

Shoulders hyper work

Upright BB row-warmup barx8, 65x8 - working- 9x 85lbs (PR for reps)
6x100(PR for reps)
4x105lbs (PR weight and reps obv.)
never thought I'd see the day I upright rowed 100+...

Db laterals- 20lbsx10, 25lbsx10, 12lbsx20 very slow and squeezing at point of contraction.. 5 second hold and pulses to finish and engorge w blood

Tricep hypertrophy work

Cable pushouts- warmup 12x32.5lb,10x37.5
Working- 9x47.5, 6x57.5, 4x 62.5 - gonna have to sub this out-not a low rep type movement .. Got the Job done today tho but not good for moving forward up weight

OH cable extensions w rope- 37.5x10, 10

Straihht bar pushdowns-42.5x10, 52.5x8- these felt great!

Finished w some ab work

People, mainly girls- and some guys were mirrin when I was upright rowing. This one red head seemed to follow me everywhereand watch my sets.. Felt very confident and strong today like I could have done a whole other workout after I finished this one. My bf still seems to be slowly dropping. If only slightly at this point- most of the progress was made in week 3 (this is the midway point of week 4)

Tomorrow is mid-back volume (BB rows) and bis and lats hyper work - will also hit the prowler and some HIIT and liss cardio. I've been making an effort to increase my protein the last few days and I'm feeling the effects I think.

The full 30 days will be up next Tuesday when I will post a final review- then I will continue the log an additional two weeks with The VL Ricky has so generously donated along with my alphamine and other friends. I am very excited for my February stack ... It's a little evil..

 

[fumoney]

Volume....YES. Excellent work !

10X5 - will try this sometime this year.

I like it bc it helps build your strength and density- but it's not TOO MUCH volume that u can't add some hyper work in. The progression is legit too, it's one of poliquins principles:

 

[chedapalooza]

I'm thinking about adding cleans into my program.. Maybe not this one, but somewhere sooner than later...
But what day should I do them on/what is the point... I used to do them for football.. Just wondering, from a PHYSIQUE standpoint- any point to doing cleans??? Lol

 

[metroba]

Cleans are excellent for overall size. My shoulders EXPLODED when I incorporated them.

Hang clean or floor/power? What would u say is best set/rep scheme maybe 5x5 and pyramid the weight?

Hang clean. Personally, I respond well to high volume. I start high to warm up and work my way up to no less than 8 reps. Cleans are a very dangerous exercise and cause many gym injuries. So I play it smart. Higher reps still get the job done.

Cool. Thanks for the info

Going in soon for hiit and prowler, mid back volume, bis N Lats hyper.. Gomna be w the gf and force her to do the prowler. I got her to do a full leg workout yesterday. Shell be doing upper+prowler today lol

 

[chedapalooza]

Interesting workout- lesson of the day- don't offer your gf to workout w you. She showed up like 40 minutes in to my lift an the last 15 minutes ended up taking me about 30 bc she kept asking me stuff. Stuff she knows which is the frustrating part. And then proceeded to say everything hurt her. I told her to stop complaining avkut her body so much of she doesn't wanna put in the work to change it. (kf course also telling her she doesn't NEED to change anything) this has been a constant for 2.5 years w her. Always complaining but never wanting to work. END RANT.

On a positive note - had a few LEGIT pr's today.. Big Boy ones not baby ones compared to the rest of AM. Will post workout tonight. Time to feed hard.

Edit- my ass and hip muscle has gotten too big from the heavy deads and prowler the past 3 weeks. Noneof my jeans fit comfortably. I'm going to continue w the deads, but stop the prowler until I am done with heavy deads lol. I hate tight jeans- it's the ex fat kid in me.

 

[chedapalooza]

Will update Fridays workout tomorrow.. Work is nuts thus weekend

On a side- what can I do to allow my upper thighs and hips to shrink while not losing muscle tone in legs? High rep curls/extensions n cut out squatting type movements for a little? Can't afford To buy new pants lol

 

[fumoney]

Where are those legit PRs !!!

 

[Invycktus]

[bigla2004]

PR's are excellent! Ive been approaching them while also approaching the leanest I've been. For 17 bucks at the time, vanillean really delivers big value

Thanks not done yet!

Doing great ched. Sorry haven't been following as close. Just caught up. I was deathly sick this last weekend but I have that 5x5 plan if you are still interested.

It's all good. Been doing 10x5 , 4 ,3 meaning
Week1-10x5
Week2-10x4
Week3-10x3
Then gonna have a light 10x10 week !

This week started 10x4... I still have to post Fridays workout and today's is HALF done. I did my volume work this morning between classes... I did 135lbs x4 for ten sets w one min rest foroverheadd presses
Followed by tricep dips bodyweight+35lbs for ten sets of 4.

I am getting ready to head to the gym for the "hyper" part of chest and some abs, calves, and HIIT I like this set up bc I have 45 mins to kill between classes on Monday mornings.. Then I get some aminos and protein (no carbs/fats until postworkout) then go in the afternoon to really burn some body fat!

 

[chedapalooza]

Very strong thermo effects today btw

 

[DangerDave]

Great stuff man. Go kill it then kill some food

 

[jwa254]

Always killin it. Keep it up brotha

 

[chedapalooza]

FOCKING FINALLY

The past two nights I have PASSED OUT COLD for an hour after eating dinner then wake up in a zombie like state... Idk what's going on! But it hasnt affected anything really, just very odd for me. Ok here r the workouts

Friday Jan 25

Started with 11 minutes 158 cals of liss jogging to work a sweat

Hit up my PT leg circuit for 2 reps and had killer low back pump so I skipped the third and final triset.


Started with 10 sets of 5 on pendlay rows- 135lbs

Went on to pullups--
Bwx8, 8 to warm up- bw+10lbs x9, felt ridiculously strong and had done 25lbs last week so I jumped right to a 45lb plate- I got 2 sets of 3 with bw+45lbs, then I dropped down to a 25lb plate to finish for another 3 reps. The 45 plate was a PR for weight and reps!

Pullovers - 75lbs db x 10,10

Straight arm lat pull- 55lbsx10, 57.5x8

Underhand pulldowns - 120lbsx10,10, 150x9, 170x6, 190x4 (PR)

Bis

Incline db curls- 30lbx10 8x35lb

Reverse BB curls- superset with wrist curls
- 70lb x9/20
60lbx 13/27

Db concentration curls- 25lbsx 10,10

Hit the prolwer next!
5 sets up 2 trips, 40 yards a piece, sprinting to start then immediately turning and walking with long full strides:::
Weight in pounds+prowler weight (idk how much it weighs alone)
140
220
340
220
140

Then I did 6 sprints of 30 second with 2-3 minutes rest on the treadmill as fast as I could.. Totaling 28mknutes and 364 cals for the day on cardio.

Needlessto say- this was fcking nuts workout.

 

[chedapalooza]

Today workout coming soon- need to eat again before feed window closes lol - that nap screwed up my timing had to wait 30 mins from taking VL!!!!

This is absolutely SICK !!!!
The amount of volume is ridiculous. And it is wrap around by cardio. And pull-ups with 45lbs at your weight ? That is a man's PR.

Let us know how you recovered from this.

Probably why I've been sleeping so much haha

Today had more pr's for chest and tri's work

 

[chedapalooza]

Ok monday 1/28

Huge thermo today. Was DRENCHED in sweat after doing my pre lift cardio.

I lifted my volume work quickly between classes this morning at 11 am

Overhead smith press- 10 sets of 4 at 135lbs
Tricep dips- 10 sets of 4 at bw+35 lbs (PR for weight)

Went to the gym at 4 pm
Started with HIIT cardio for 28 mins 380 cals

I was worried that doing the shoulder and tri's lift this morning would affect my strength on DB incline presses. It did somewhat .. But was able to set a weight PR still.

Did my PT leg circuit

Incline db bench- 45x8,8- 55x9, 65x6, 75x2 (PR). I wanted to get 3-4 reps but these were tough. Im certain if I hadnt lofted this morning I would have gotten target reps; but still a PR none the less!

Machine high flyes- 140lbs x 10, 9

Partial wide grip dips to stretch the chest - 17 reps bw

One arm cable crosses- 25lbs x 20, 30lbsx 15

Hypers - 20, 15

Donkey calf raises- 8 plates x20 x 3 sets

Leg press calf raises- 10 plates rest pauses for 100- 50,10,10,10,10,10 (PR weight)

Ab work then recumbent bike HIIT total of 43minutes and 534 cals

Tomorrow is day 28 (4 weeks). 2 days left in the initial VL bottle. Hopefully the caps ricky sen me get here Before I run out! But I will probably take my final pics tomorrow when my gf gets here after work. Looking forward to showing u all my progress which can only be attributed to this product with some staples! Legggiitt

Back traps and bis tomorrow !
