Big sale on bands again at EliteFTS if you in the money spending mood.
Thanks for the heads up bolt. I actually checked sometime in the last couple days. This seems to keep happening right when I don't want to spend any money...I'll probably end up buying them anyway

Another sick variation brotha! I just got home from shoulders... wish I would have seen this beforehand
Thanks dude. If there's a similar machine at your gym, I'd definitely give them a try.
Lol. Thanks man.
No problem wasme. It's a keeper :thumbsup:

Definitely man! Ours is more upright, But I think it will sill give that angle directly over the shoulders/ slightly behind. Definitely going to try it!

Gut Health and Giant Sports PB Chocolate were waiting for me when I got back from the gym, and I'm very excited about it.
The old Gut Health was a staple for me, which I found very beneficial. I had severe GI issues in the past, so optimizing my "gut health" is extremely important to me.
The PB Chocolate protein smells amazing, and I'll be trying it when I break my fast.
I have a couple workout updates that I'll post sometime today.

Yeah, great price, taste, and consistency. I haven't tried PB Choc, but heard it's awesome. You try it yet?

Had the vanilla and the cookies and cream. Very smooth, easy to mix, delicious! Their other flavors are on my radar.

Those are the two flavors that I've had as well. PB Choc was just released a few weeks ago.

It really couldn't have worked out any better. Yeah, John Meadows has inspired me to up the creativity of my workouts haha. It's an Icarian machine, and if you have one, I'd definitely give them a shot. The entire movement feels great, especially the squeeze at the top.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that ours is an Icarian, but I never touch the thing so I haven't even looked at it in a while. One the list for shoulder training today are these and horizontal presses...

That was actually the first time I'd ever used it lol. I'm not a fan of shoulder pressing machines in general...until now
. Awesome, look forward to hearing what you think.

Thanks bean. I had always trained primarily for strength until starting Mtn. Dog a few months ago. I'm nowhere near as strong as I'd like to be though.
Look forward to hearing what you think of VERSA-1. I'm already on my 4th bottle lol...love the stuff.
Thanks again
Cool. I think you'll like it man.

This was a part of today's massive fast-breaking meal (entire meal was ~2400 calories).
Bacon Asparagus Strata
It was awesome. I don't have the exact recipe (didn't make it), but it's similar to the one found at the below link. I know that the peppers were swapped for onions, uncured turkey bacon was used instead of ham, and the English muffins were Ezekiel.

No gym today.
I weighed 214.6lbs (-2.4lbs overall) this morning and am looking a little leaner.
Vascularity has started to improve since starting VERSA-1 and C20.

That's sad, but sounds like it went well (in your log). Look forward to hearing what you think of C20 brotha.
So far so good. I'm already noticing less gas
. I finished a probiotic 2 days before starting Gut Health that didn't seem to make a big difference.I almost quit lifting due to your absence
jk. No problem brother! I've been busy lately and have some catching up to do as well. Things are going great.

I added a few exercises to my arm session that hadn’t been done in a while. My workout ended up being a mix of Mtn. Dog and some of my personal favorites.

But ya I haven't updated my log for the past two days (off days) and not much to note on. Glad to be back in here with everyone though.

Keep killing it!

Glad you enjoyed them man. If you ever have any questions about the exercises (or anything else), please don't hesitate to ask. C20 always treats me well. It's helped me lean out somewhat while consistently eating a caloric surplus (diet and training were on point) , so I'm thinking it'll really shine during my cut. I'll be sure to keep you posted on my progress. Will do!
Haha thanks wasme.
Thanks classic. I noticed that as well. Vascularity has really started to pick up the last few days (about a day after starting V-1/C20) and I'm excited for what's to come.

Solid pause squat weight. Speaking of HIIT I recently added hill sprints back in and man they were brutal. I still love them tho.
I've been slacking on my speed work recently.
Getting it together this week, its gonna be teerrrriiiibbbblllleeee.

Ya same...and it was brutal. I felt slow and it pissed me off. Hopefully the weather warms up so I can easily get around to hitting the track and hill consistently again.

Doing speed work this 3 weeks (think DE for 3 weeks straight, ballistic method, etc.). Gonna post videos of some of the sets, but I look slow off the box. (Box squats)
Thinking that may be because I've neglected most of my sprinting and box jumping (plus not doing DE type stuff) or maybe its all in my head....
