It was a photo shoot, LOL (I train in a tank/t-shirt and trackies/shorts; wouldn't be let into the gym to train in THAT :p)

hahaha that made me laugh!

You're so cruel Rosie - imagine the poor guys trying to concentrate on their workouts! :lol:

Hmmm, if they were serious enough, then they'd be too focussed on what they were doing and it wouldn't be an issue :toofunny: (I wouldn't be noticing THEM, at any rate :D

Deep squats will never be the same :)

Is that so? No, you'd probably be on the floor as soon as I walked in ;)...Then again, we still need to do a training session together sometime. Trust me; you won't look at training the same agin :duel:
 
Craigmatthew said:
yes we do need to do a session sometime. When you out my way next? And cash will be in your account Tuesday, sorry for the holdup... dont beat me up :P
Click to expand...

Yes, we DO! Um, not sure now (yeah, plans changed on me; grrrr). Probably for the NZFBB Nationals weekend of October 18-19 (need to qualify first)...No worries; I know you're good for it ;)
 
Tonight with dinner and before bed I will take 4 IGF2, 1 Activate Xtreme, 3 Neovar and 1 Anabolic Pump and 2 Gut Health.

Hoping this will get things going in my system and help build up the levels quicker. Also I wanted an excuse to open all the bottles that have been sitting unopened for so long!

Muscles are going to lock and loaded for action!

In your opinion, would the NeoVar dosage at night, in the absence of IGF2 provide a stimulant effect? i.e a negative effect on sleep?

Basically, I using your results as a gineapig before I crack my own bottle.:thumbsup:
 
NeoVar Recomped dose pre-bed

If you have had a high carbohydrate (CHO) intake that day and then dose NeoVar Recomped pre-bed, then it will pretty much eliminate any bloating or water retention that would normally be experienced the next day (at least, it does for me; I love DOUBLE dosing it pre-bed on my cheat days!)...And no, it should NOT cause a stimulant effect...No negative effects on sleep...I wouldn't recommend trying it if you have NOT had high CHO that day, though, since it has the opposite effect to what it would if you HAD had those CHO (i.e. bloating and water retention, I found)...Try it for yourself sometime...

I didn't quite take in pre bed, maybe 2 hours pre bed? So shouldn't affect sleep. Took 1 Anabolic Pump + 3 Neovar pre meal and felt great and really hungry!

Will take 4 IGF2 + 2 Gut Health + 1 Activate Xtreme now before bed. See how that goes...
 
200mg caffeine pill
1 anabolic pump pre and post workout (15min pre eat) with 70grams carbohydrates.
4 Igf2 upon waking and again before bed.
1 scoop Poseidon upon waking and 1 during.
3 Neovar pre workout and again post workout
1 AX pre and 1 AX post

Day: One
Muscles worked: Legs and Calves
Strength: Normal
Bodyweight/Body Comp:Normal for now
Pumps/Vascularity:Pump in the quads and calves was great!
Endurance:Average
Aggression:Normal
Focus:Good
Libido:Normal
Muscle Density/Hardening: Good
Overall Energy:Normal
Personal Commentary: Tough day in the gym today, half way through my workout I had to leave the gym, go outside and continue to throw up my breakfast for about five minutes. Good workout though, workout partner drilled me! I am now destroyed mentally and physically, great pump, little endurance...

As you start geting experienced with AP - start pushing out the time between dosing and eating. This will stimulate your appetite through the roof without fear of hypo - you will actually get a nice thermo effect. After about a month, try about 20 minutes.

Interesting stuff - thanks Rosie. I have 2 bottles of recomp sitting in my arsenal - it will form part of my next stack which will be AN-based.:head:

That doesn't sound too good, sweets. But means that your session was HARD! Which is not a BAD thing, per se :whip:

All good...What will you be stacking? And what do you hope to achieve from using that stack?

That depends on what whether you're prepared to sponsor the log or not :thumbsup:

It will probably be a balls-to-the-wall muscle-preserving fat-annihilation. :head::head::head:

Sound interesting?

Hey, I skimmed that part CM - what was the timing between BF and WO?

If any day is going to make me chunder it's legs...
 
Craigmatthew said:
Had breakfast 20-30min pre workout... stupid move :(
Click to expand...

Yeah, a bit longer would have been better. Live and learn, aye? At least you're hardened enough to keep going - reps!

With that amount of carbs I used to eat at 0430 for a 0600 workout - so to load in the PSlin I had to set the alarm for 0400...

One of the benefits of the fasted workouts Im doing now is a little extra sleep in :thumbsup:

Yeah, after my spew my workout partner asked if I wanted to stop... I replied, "Mate I didn't just get this far and spew for nothing." haha, continued for another hour... feeling a little light headed to be honest, but man it was a good leg workout! And I have another leg workout this Friday... YAY!

Yep. So you'll be stacking IGF-2 with that NeoVar Recomped you have. And possibly adding in RPM :)

Chest/back is one of my favs - how are you working your chest/back routine CM?

doing chest first, the back, doing 3 exercises on each muscle group, doing 8-12 reps per set.

Chest:
Flat bench barbell
Incline DB flies
Incline barbell press

Back:
Seated Row
Single hand cable lat pulldown
Bent over Row

Perhaps do Incline Barbell Press BEFORE Incline DB Flyes; and Bent Over Row as your FIRST Back exercise...

You may even want to move from the inclined BB press to a inclined machine - your stabilisers should be sufficently worked already, and you can go heavier relying on brute strength.

Just my 5c for what it's worth.
 
Craigmatthew said:
yes on both counts, people were using the required equipment so I had to change the order of the exercises. :)

I see. Hate it when that happens, LOL...

...DISTRACTION, huh, JKP? I rather think NOT. Rosie will be putting on the pace and whipping Craig's arse into shape when he trains with her, so much so that there'll be NO time for anything but catching his breath before the next set! :toofunny:

Lol - And he thought the leg workout left him wiping the chunder off his chin?

You're a formidable woman Rosie!

That's why you all love me though, aye ;) I challenge you, and it makes life all the more interesting :D
 
Craigmatthew said:
...But yeah Rosie is a wealth of information and always willing to help a friend. :)

I try to be :) And yeah, I don't mind helping out those who are serious and all, since I was taught by the best, and well, I'd rather see someone do it RIGHT the first time around than not...

I'm betting she'll beat that Yarpie Cockyness out of ewe Sunshine :lol:

Or not; he'd be no fun then :p


Craigmatthew said:
No woman can do that :P Besides... Yarpies are perfect in every way :)

Update: Rest day tomorrow... sooooo need it, my quads are killing me... so damn sore!

Personal Commentary: Chest is feeling nice and sore today. Glad today is a rest day as I'm pretty sore all over! Had a massive 10hour sleep! Which was sooo damn deep! To early to say what the supplements are doing, but I'll continue to push hard and see what the numbers of lifts and weight says :)
 
I noticed an increase in libido the first 2 weeks or so of Neovar recomped. Have fun with it! :D

AX and IGF-2 most probably (helped along by a few other things) :D

Day: Five
Muscles worked: Triceps, Forearms and Calves
Strength: Up slightly
Bodyweight/Body Comp:normal
Pumps/Vascularity:Good tricep pump
Endurance:Good
Aggression:Normal
Focus:Good
Libido:Normal
Muscle Density/Hardening: Good
Overall Energy:Normal
Personal Commentary: good workout, triceps went really well, tried a few new exercises so couldn't judge strength, but got a great pump. Libido is still high and is confidence. Stack is going great so far.

Quick review of products so far:
Activate Xtreme: Seems to be increasing libido and alpha male feeling is creeping back in. Look like a good buy so far.
IGF2: Deep sleeps have kicked in, as well as recovery starting to pick up. This may also have an effect on libido.
Anabolic Pump:Pumps have been ok thus far, nothing mind blowing, the recomp effects are what i'm looking for from this.
Poseidon: Skin is clear.. cant comment much further on this.
Neovar Recomped: To early to tell, no major strength gains yet.
Gut Health: Haven't noticed a decrease in bloating. will wait and see with more time if anything changes.
Orange Triad: Joints do feel better since starting this. Less pain in knees and elbows.

Gut Health pre bed

Day: Six
Rest Day
Personal Commentary: Hunger is certainly increasing, may be synergy with Anabolic Pump, Neovar and AX. Libido still WAY up. Alpha male mentality has increased. Going well so far, hoping the AX + IGF2 help build muscle and the Anabolic Pump and Neovar 2.0 keep me lean at the same time. Will weight myself thi Monday and note any changes.
