I've changed up my split a bit, getting back to a true antagonistic muscle group workout. It's what I used in college to add most of my size, but going to tweak it a little to make it more of a cutting style workout. I'll need maximum intensity though because I'm now getting ready for bathing suit weather. Hard to imagine now, I know, given we're still waking up to negative temps here in VT these days. Thank you for following along, any input, comments, jokes, insults, whatever, are always welcome as usual.

Haven't taken any PWOs in almost a month, and after my first dose of EPIC this morning I was FLYING!

Kat sent me Blue Raspberry and it's tastes awesome. Not too sweet, and no bitterness that you get sometimes from raspberry flavored products. Mixing was pretty complete. Even with mono there were very few undissolved particles. No floaties either.

It Delts and Lats today, and I was buzzing through my sets and reps. The girl at the from desk asked me if I was high on meth. This is going to be a fun ride. :laugh2:

Today woke up late after a late night with 2 sick kids, but managed to get them off to their mother's well enough. Being so tired I had NOOOO motivation, until I remembered I needed my six pack to be showing by June.

The first dose of EPIC I took 2 scoops, and was on top of the world, so I saw no reason to step it up. Once again, nice warm up to the full energy. Some PWOs just shoot me right to the top, which isn't bad, but those PWOs usually come with a crash. I didn't have a crash on Friday, and no crash today either. It was supposed to be Hams and Calves today, but my legs were still beat form sledding yesterday, dragging my kids back up the hill after they slid down was a great workout, but man, it's sure different than doing squats, that's for sure. I hammered out some light chest and delt work, since I'm going thrash them good on Wed., and worked Burpees in for HIIT, but my intensity never wavered.

Yah I get like that , just can't keep still ...

I find most modern pre-workout products you don't have to increase beyond a reasonable point of use. 2 scoops of EPIC have always been good for me or I would probably start losing focus and who wants that

 

[love2liftkat]

Not crashing is one of my favorite things about Epic! It just seems to give me a good drive and clean energy!

Had my kids this weekend so I missed updating my log. Time to play some catch up.

Wed. I beat the crap out of my quads. No volleyball Thursday so I went for the gusto. I did a pseudo GVT session on squats with 225, but did 8 sets for 8 reps. Normally having done that in the past it's been a mental breaker for me. I get to sets 7 and 8 and wuss out at 6 or 7 reps. My head was all business though and went 8 for 8. I had focus and mental toughness throughout my entire workout. I moved onto to super sets of leg etxs. and donkey machine calf raises with no rest. Even though I was breathing like a fat kid walking upstairs my stayed in it and had no inclinations of quitting.

Friday morning was a great chest and trap day. Going back to a true push/pull system feels so good. I didn't realize how much I missed it. It also hadn't occurred to me how much more effective my chest work was when I wasn't wearing out my delts on the same day. I should have gone back to this sooner. Another day of great aggression, and absolutely no loss of focus. I powered through the workout, didn't skip a beat on sets, reps, and exercise selection. i was even very focused at work as well. Not a bad residual effect to have.

 

[mountainman33]

Used some free time with my kids to get some of my home gym equipment into my basement. Oh man it felt good to not have to go to PF this am. BB OHP and BB rows haven't felt so in so long. Tuckered me out, using more muscles than usual, but God what a feeling it was. As usual, focus was intense. I was on my rest periods like a soldier, and fought hard for every rep. Even cheated a little on reps just because it had been so long since I had done barbell work.

Are you regular GVT or advanced. I am going to start advanced soon. More geared towards bodybuilder.

Well, kind of regular. I've never actually done a true 10 x 10.

 

[love2liftkat]

Awesome work man!! Keep killin it!

Well, kind of regular. I've never actually done a true 10 x 10.

Advanced it BPak's version I believe. Lower reps and only some of the sets are 10.

 

[love2liftkat]

Where'd you go man?
