Woah! Tons of dudes subbing in now! Hadn't seen some of you guys in a HOT minute, how's life been going?
Today's session was no bueno. It was doomed from the start, got to Sam's Club and found out that I had a hose leaking coolant and it was making my car overheat. Found out what it was today, it had been an issue I was trying to figure out ALL WEEK. And, in case you were wondering, I did fix it (I think) in the most redneck way possible. Which is? Duct Tape. So hopefully that will at least give me a temporary fix until I ultimately just replace the hose itself.
With that said:
RE Lower
1 Hour Pre: 3 Drive, 3g Mono
30 Min Pre: 1 Uncut, 6 N.O. Uptake
Intra: Leftover from yesterday- MBCAA + Gatorade
Warmup: BR Hip Flexor Stretch, Hip Circles, Fire Hydrants.
Front Squat: 45x10, 95x10, 135x17, 175x12, 175x14 (Holy pump, my legs were CRAMPING up bad in between these sets)
Bulgarian Split Squat: 100x8 (And this was where I called it a day)
Notes: LOL why even have notes for this? But seriously, went in to the front squats a little distracted, couldn't stop focusing on the car issue. Took the first two sets a few shy of failure and took the last one to the point that I knew I wouldn't get back up if I dropped down again. Headed to the Bulgarians and was feeling really sick to my stomach (not in a working to the point of nausea way either). Very strange. My assumption is this being diet related, didn't get relieved from my guard shift until 0600 and it was supposed to end at 0200. So I didn't get my usual meal until 5 hours later than normal and hit the gym 3 hours after that, with no other food in the system.
For RE Lower days, I will probably take less Uptake. That **** was terrible lol. Had some awful capsule burps (meh it happens), so I may go back to what I did last time which was to eat a little something after taking them (by little I mean just enough to clear the throat of whatever nastiness stays up in there lol). I'm guessing the focus is good with uncut, considering I couldn't think about anything but my car, talk about tunnel vision lol. Felt better after I ate a little snack during the ride home (hypoglycemic maybe? It happens every now and again when using pump products. I can't think of anything in either product that would cause that but I noticed it last time I ran uptake as well.) :thinking: Anyway, hoping it was just a fluke occurrence. Maybe I was just being a baby because of high rep front squats (it happens to the best lol)
Also, in case anyone is wondering "why front squats?"....this is why, in a nutshell.

I honestly prefer front squats to back squats (I know, I know specificity and whatnot) but I'm not a PLer (yet) so I like front squats. (it's more of a love-hate thing than anything else).
