Lol, I'm literally only taking 4-5 products.

Green Mag
Enhanced
AB
Prime
Protein

Me too. I've never used AB before, so we'll see how I like it.

If I don't like it, I'll just blame bdcc

Seems like a lot to me but I know it's not compared to many. I have been on only the staples for a while though. Protein creatine and condense. That's a nice stack though is all I meant. I need to pick something up soon. I liked anabeta but it didnt blow me out of the water. I'd definitely dose it higher like you are if I used it again. Just seems expensive to me but Im poor.

I'm almost always just using a preWO and protein.

No belt.


I didn't use the belt cuz I knew I couldn't rest it there and don't want to be DQed for it in competition.

Would they DQ you for touching or resting?

Dunno. Resting is what the rules say, but it doesn't define the time that resting is.

I watched the Arnold 2012 and they DQed guys right when it touched the belt and called it a no lift. (for that rep only)

I think it depends on the venue and judges, not worth the risk then.

If you don't like ABE. Send it to me. :D

2 cents: Same here. I might get a little kick from it, but if I miss a day (which I am not as strict with stuff as I used to be) I do not miss it like it is 2 days of carbs or something. I used the Abeta with one a day Erase Pro and maybe got a little boost, but I only run it for a month, then take 2 months off that stuff.
I do get a little from creatine for sure, so that is always a staple.
And since I only drink coffee on workout days and weekends, I stay somewhat caffeine naive, and get a jump from it on lift days.

I like it that way and so does my wallet. But we can't deny we like a little boost once in a while.

I add on some fish oil and cissus. Everything else I don't do anymore. Bcaas are tasty, but id rather save and drink the old water
 
jimbuick said:
Fine.

No issues at all.

I always forget to take cissus. I like it, but don't find it necessary (although I should because of my janky knees)

I do BCAAs intra, I like the taste. And it's extra calories.
Click to expand...

Nice.
Yea I'm very forgetful too.
I did modern or compete ( very tasty) intra and mang it was good. But it's one of things one cuts out when one is in the poverty
 
Rep DL:


Warm-up: PVC roll lower, "stick" mash around knees, LAX Ball glute and lower back, work up to 225

Pre: 1.5 enhanced, 3 Prime, 2 AB
Intra: 2 MBCAA

Con. DL: 280 x 8 x 3

Meh, slow off the floor on the first couple but they got better. Gonna be hitting a little more Deficit work I think.

GM: 185 x 5 x 2, 225 x 5, 245 x 5 x 2

No belt today for DLs or GMs.

a1. NG Pull up: BW x 8 x 4
a2. Band Facepull: Black x 12 x 4

Planks: BW x 60seconds x 3


Donezo. Not a lot of volume, but everything had its purpose. For me right now, less = more. Will slowly be ramping up volume over the next few weeks, conditioning tomorrow. Probably some sled drags (not sled sprints this week though).
 
Nasty update:


Taking a dump for the third time today (this morning, late afternoon, and now). This might be a sign that I am eating a large enough amount.


That and the all day bloating. Just ate meatloaf, taters, and veggies with strawberry milk. Then I eat pie.
 
lol

Nice work! Your body is adjusting to the influx of calories you're throwing at it. As long as you eat that much every day, you'll taper off on the toilet time. It will return with gusto if you have a day where you miss a meal, though.

If the bloat continues to bother you, I highly recommend glycerin from the drugstore. That helps with my peripheral bloating. I can't help you though if it's abdominal bloating, I usually just lean back and enjoy it. :D

Dem gains....
 
I'd hit it...all homo. Digging the beard. Very grizzley Adams of you.
 
Had to do tomorrow's workout today because of my nieces birthday tomorrow.

Throwing off my whole week.


Speed Bench:


Warm-up: Simple 6, work to 135

Pre: 1.5 enhanced, 3 Prime
Inta: 2 MBCAA

Comp Bench: 150 x 3 x 6

Paused the last of each set, nice and quick off the chest.

1 Arm OHP : 45 x 8, 50 x 8 x 2

DB French Press: 65 x 5, 75 x 5 x 4

a1. Lateral Raise: 20 x 10 x 3
a2. DB Fly: 35 x 10 x 3
a3. Band Curl: Red x 30 x 2, Red x 35


The bicep pump.....


Felt good today, knee kinda hurt all day.

I owe rows on squat day now because I didn't want to hit it 2 days in a row.


Also, starting weight for this journey is 184.6




Eating meatloaf, and potatoes with a protein shake. Then shower. Then I make General Tsos Chicken with rice. Then more pie before bed.

Religion reasons?
Pork chops are awesome my man
Click to expand...
Nope.

Just don't much care for the taste.

Mostly isolated to pork chops, pork tenderloin, and ham.

Off topic, but I don't like pot roast either.

You must of never hada da swee n sawa por ma man

Just watched the dead video. Form looking good.
Click to expand...
I actually do like that though.


Thanks buddy, it's a long way from where I was when I started deadlifting last year. Hell, my DL is way better in the last 4 months from you guys giving form cues than I probably ever would've gotten it myself. I'd probably still have too low of a starting hip position and a <350 max.

Maybe soon it will actually be heavier than my squat!
 
jimbuick said:
It was a trajectory issue, if I could've practiced more beforehand I might gotten all 5.

Still pulled second in that event though because of how fast the first two went lol.
Click to expand...

Yea the first were quick. The others were just missing it. The tube thing was cool too. When you had to push it over. I think it was called finger something
 
I think it will be. You have the strength.

Granted you have a strong squat so it will be harder for you to beat yours than most people.

Most people seem to go
225 bench
315 squat
405 dead
Very generally speaking. You just went right a bigger squat early. Strongman stuff will probably help your dead too.

Fingals finger, I got 3rd (or 4th) in that event (again because of speed)

I was disappointed with that event, I did those 3 the week before the comp and they were easy. My right hand slipped right off the finger and down it went.

Hopefully so. I just need to work on my strength off the floor for the next 8 weeks.

All those loads and farmers carries better translate to a bigger DL!

2 cents:
You working any slight deficits? 1"-2" say. (I don't think you need much more depth to get a bump) I got some good power and speed translation to floor after doing deficits. Longer ROM concentric!?, making the reg 9" pull distance seem like a partial!? Whatever it is it has worked.

I hadn't done them as anything more than accessory work at 4", but planned to start rotating them as a main movement from 1-2" to really hammer it.
 
Max Front Squat


Warm-up: Lower Body Mash, LAX Ball glute/piriformis, work up to 225 x 4

Front Squat: 275 x 4, 295 x 4 (PR)

Sled Pull: 6 plates x 30yds x 3

a1. GHR x 15 x 2
a2. DB lunge: 80 x 12, 100 x 12

b1. Catback Lat Pull: AVG x 15 x 3
b2. Rear Delt Raise: 20 x 10 x 3

Pallof Press: Black x 10 x 3


And that's all she wrote. I'll make and post the video later tonight.
