Sweated my ass off on the treadmill today. Really enjoy making this intense. Wearing a hat and the sweat dropped off the bill nonstop like a faucet. I was soaked. My body is actually thanking me a bit my keeping the impactful cardio to a minimum. Knees , ankles and hips feel much better. Not abandoning it altogether, but the jump rope and sprinting were killing me a bit.

Ok for real now, I'm gone.
 
enjoy it bro

Toren would have been putty in my hands after a slice of Lou Malnati's deep dish. Hands down best pizza I've ever eaten. If 2 slices can fill me up, it's something special. Now that doesn't mean I didn't have a third, but even still 3 is usually my starter plate. This pizza was so dense with goodness!!

I love pineapple but can not stand it on meat of any kind. It is a personal hang up. Had to turn down the only meat at a thanksgiving dinner with one of my family members because they put pineapple all over the Honey Baked Ham. Ended up having a protein shake and all the sides...

Sadly I wasn't invited. Maybe Dan doesn't think I can share pizza with other people? I can share. My girl says I'm getting better at it anyway.

Damn, that sounds good. Did the cheese form delicious strings of gooiness that teased your tastebuds as they held onto the pizza slice for dear life? Unfortunately I decided I was too tired this evening to make any good food, so I made a frozen pizza. Tasted like a sheet of cardboard with some fat-free cheese. Yummy.

All the best ones are!

PS: I sent you some extra pizzadrol money this morning lol
 
Okay, back and ready to kill it. While I ate my ass off for 6 days, I also walked my ass off for at least 4 of them. Either way I have some added cushion to work off. Also re-assessing my cycle, or if it will even be a cycle. I am leaning more toward just returning to cruise with Test and Mast and focusing on diet and training styles. There's something about Tren that makes me so god damn hungry. And in case you didn't know, gear isn't magic, I'm still getting fat. So at the least, the Tren is done. Probably gonna run Test and Mast at 350 each for a bit then call it and cruise for a very long time.

Going to start doing some Giant Sets for whatever main muscle group I'm working. Felt awesome this morning for Back and Chest

Nice work and good to see SOMEONE ELSE ON THE BOARD! You are probably the first update out of my stuff I am subbed to that I have seen today that had to deal with a workout other than mine. Not sure where everyone has been all week but it is odd how quiet it is around here.

Yeah, I am guessing maybe since school just got out a lot of people are on vaca? It is weird to get bored and want to check something out and not see any new posts in the 20 some odd thread I am subbed to and for several hours at a time.
 
Sweated my niz-uts off this morning. Back to doing HIIT before weights. It always gets the sweat and the groove flowing and sets a nice tone to the entire session.

Shoulder pump was stupid with the giant set to start. Couldn't even lift the 20's on last round. And while I feel bloated and soft from vacation, once the pump filled up my delts, more striations than ever were visible.

Haven't taken a Cialis in a couplw weeks because it was lowering my BP too much taking it regularly for an extended time, but dropped 7mg this morning and the pump was so damn good. So good...
 
Some great workouts and yeah that complex before the shoulder work must have been a beast for the rest of the workout.
 
Your work is killer man! Been busy as f with work for a while so haven't been on the board much. Sounds like a good vacation. I'm from Chicago and it's taken basically my whole life to get away from once a week deep dish. When I do have it now, it's 3 slices and then pizza coma time. Malnatti's is some good stuff, next time try a deep dish from Beggars.

Thanks guys.

And yeah, Malnati's was the best I tried. Also had Giordano's a couple times as it was close to the resort. But wasn't quite as good to me. Too bready.

So I've never done the tire and sledge, what does that work? Shoulders? Back? Both? Probably arms too

Literally just used this machine myself 20min ago. Never saw one before and it's great. Really forces you to keep your elbows tight

And not sure who the hell is using 150lbs on it!! I was using 30 and dying. But in my defense, it was the last stop in a giant set.
