@Hyde whats your goal/purpose of doing the 25 reps with your wide grip bench? How long are you doing it for?

Acquiring bench-specific hypertrophy in a low impact fashion that ultimately potentiates recovery from the heavy strength-building day. Flushes things out and safely helps develop the pecs & front delts how you really need it for bench.

It’s a protocol from 5th Set that has worked fairly well for me in the past. Here is the heavy day, for contrast, that I actually completed yesterday morning:

and waddled out like a true bro

that's my favorite

Had a cup of coffee + a half of scoop of All Out Ultra and headed to the commercial gym.

this combo sounds obscene and scary to me lol. I've done it, but I always try to flush out that coffee before I throw in the preWO lol

I will do a cup of coffee, and a half a preworkout too when I don't want all the caffiene of a full dose of preworkout but want more than what a half scoop has to offer. A normal cup of coffee ain't gonna push it over what the preworkout has at a full dose unless the pre is just weak on the stim side of things.

 

[Dustin07]

A normal cup of coffee

I've been told my coffee isn't normal, lol. I guess mine is apparently stronger than most, but if you can see through it at all like tea it grosses me out

Same here! I like mine strong and no watered down crap

 

[Hyde]

Agreed! But I promise you guys a cup of regular brewed drip coffee is not as strong as half a scoop of All Out

Got a full scoop down before 5pm and had no trouble sleeping at 11:20 when I got to bed - between squatting, pulling, & pouring sweat for 2 hours in the humidity, I was wiped!

More reps, more weight, more ROM on deadlifts over last week

Haven't got to try this product yet but with all the positives from the logs I think I'm gunna have to pull the trigger!

Things keep going in the right direction for me, training-wise, and it seems to deliver what it promises: pumps, smooth energy, increased volume tolerance.

I was a little worried about today because I knew I have been eating a bit less and lost a pound or two recently, but some more lifetime bests on the high rep bench are pretty hard to argue with. I failed right at lockout on the 25th rep of 220, so I think if I come back fresh next week (without doing 215 prior) I can claim that prize!

Nice! That's pretty good for 25 reps!

 

[MrKleen73]

Nice work, congrats on the PR!

Did it like a true dad this morning in honor of Fathers Day: had a full scoop of All Out for this early morning accessory session, but not before a small cup of reheated, day-old black Folgers just because “I wanna have my coffee first”.

Felt like I was looking absolutely swollen by the time I finished Pulldowns, and I know my thighs were just from a couple hard sets of adductors. My gym shorts were riding up the thighs! Also happy with the hamstring endurance progressing. Every 600lb squat I ever pulled off began with a phase ramping up my GHR volume. You don’t have to get bigger legs to squat more, but it always helps!

Good stuff, and it sounds like you are REALLY enjoying the product.
