Not yet. Might add it to my pre tomorrow. I have been hammering the arginine the past 2 months and started building a tolerance, so I will see how it goes? habajabaWill do it today, as the session will be long -and report back.
Boooooooo!Started a torrential rain and gym got cancelled. Next workout will be Monday.
You would understand, if you lived here . Rain looks like this:Boooooooo!
WoW!
Wtf where do you live bro ?
Paraguay, very near the azzhole of the worldWtf where do you live bro ?
Holy sh it bro. Hope you are on high ground.
Looking forward to today's report on RPG + Cordygen. Better be a good one since you slacked off Friday. ;-)Started a torrential rain and gym got cancelled. Next workout will be Monday.
Ew, me too. Didn't realize he was MIA. Hope all is well, HGP!Hope HGP is ok? Hasn't chimed in since posting the flood pic.
Usually I don't go as heavy on the curls -but it felt good...always keep doing what feels good! I bet I could go heavier, the curls were AFTER chin ups and rows. I imagine maybe 165 lbs for 5-6.First of all -- DANG -- you just confirmed you can CURL as much as I can BENCH! (I hate you! )
Second, be aware that phenylpiracetam has a VERY QUICK tolerance build up. Most reviewers say they've built tolerance as soon as 3 days of daily use.
phenylpiracetam is recommended as an OCCASIONAL dose when you really need a boost. Maybe once or twice a week, MAX.
Loving it. Nice session, HGP! And glad you're not dead. Leave that for all the peptides and research chems.First session in the new year:
Mixed the Cordygen with RPG , took 300mg phenylpiracetam together with C4 stim, as an azz-kicker and went to gym to destroy it.

Awesome session, thinking that the combo of stims with the RPG and Cordygen helped tremendously.
I felt awesome and cut the pauses by half -but honestly, I can't tell which of the stuff I'm taking is helping most.Loving it. Nice session, HGP! And glad you're not dead. Leave that for all the peptides and research chems.
I find that Cordygen really shines by helping me get more breath and recover, cardio wise, between sets. I know you mixed it into a crazy HGP cocktail, but did you feel anything like that?
I felt a little energy boost from RPG compared to my previous BCAA only product. I also train fasted, which may very well make a difference in this case. The difference is not crazy. But for a product packed full of natural goodies, like you mentioned, I feel better taking it compared to some other brands as well.I felt awesome and cut the pauses by half -but honestly, I can't tell which of the stuff I'm taking is helping most.
Will take tomorrow only the Cordygen to see how well it does. As for the RPG, I'm not feeling it -but I never felt BCAA's by itself, maybe because I take them always. BCAA's come second after protein, they are one of the few supps that are truly beneficial, IMHO. As the profile of RPG is more complete than most, I'll vouch for buying it regularly.
I swear, with all the stuff you're taking, you should be required to have a "DANGER: FLAMMABLE! No Smoking Within 50 Feet" sign attached to you at all times!I can't tell which of the stuff I'm taking is helping most.

I'm, first off, I was out of the loop for a a bit and missed this....Great log HGP...As always. I am proud of you and you are definitely improving!Usually I don't go as heavy on the curls -but it felt good...always keep doing what feels good!

Thanks for the tip about phenylpiracetam, I used it today the first time and plan to use it 2 times a week. Sadly, It builds tolerance as fast as Phenibut.
LMAO!I swear, with all the stuff you're taking, you should be required to have a "DANGER: FLAMMABLE! No Smoking Within 50 Feet" sign attached to you at all times!
Yeah, I see that. Just 15 of the most important supplements! Hah!LMAO!
It's not that much anymore:
I don't dare using a bar for curling, bad shoulder, remember? But I do seated concentration curls (one arm) with 55lbs for about 8 reps when fresh.I'm, first off, I was out of the loop for a a bit and missed this....Great log HGP...As always. I am proud of you and you are definitely improving!
Second...You are curling that on a machine...What can you curl with a bar? Just curious...And embarrassed that you can almost curl on a preacher bench what I bench. Ego is hurting bad. Haha.
I did preacher curls with a bar tonight. 15 x 50 ....So if the machine translates to a bar weight well, you are more than twice as strong as me and almost 3x
I'm curious... how does curling on the machine protect your shoulder vs a bar?I don't dare using a bar for curling, bad shoulder, remember?
Ummm....You go first and I will tell you if you win.I don't dare using a bar for curling, bad shoulder, remember? But I do seated concentration curls (one arm) with 55lbs for about 8 reps when fresh.
Years ago (when I was in puberty, like you) I curled standing with 65lbs DB's for 7-8 reps. But nowadays, most often I go light and slow.
Breaking PR's attracts the injury witch.
If you wanna compete, lets do DB curls standing against a wall, lets say with 2x35lbs, how many reps can you do? :mischievous:
Barbell curls activate your shoulders in two ways - your arms are hanging with a weight so the Delts activate to stabilize arms, hold the weight, etc.I'm curious... how does curling on the machine protect your shoulder vs a bar?
It really does, I tried. The fixed motion on the machine inhibits some momentum that would fire the supraspinatus, I guess. Also, with a bar the shoulder tries to stabilize, if one side is lagging, the machine is fixed.I'm curious... how does curling on the machine protect your shoulder vs a bar?
I don't see how any of those mechanics are different with a cable.Barbell curls activate your shoulders in two ways - your arms are hanging with a weight so the Delts activate to stabilize arms, hold the weight, etc.
But the most activation occurs when the bar comes toward your shoulders, at which point you need to raise your elbows to shorten your biceps which requires front delt activation....
Lol, like I said, I was making it up a little. But he is using a preacher machine...your elbows rest on a pad, which removes any elbow movement and relieves front felt activation . The machines usually have a bar that travels on a fixed plain also.I don't see how any of those mechanics are different with a cable.
Cable moves sideways too and the bar can go lower on one side. Not very stable, it activates muscles in the shoulder.I don't see how any of those mechanics are different with a cable.

Lmao....if using few words means you are smart...then I am screwed. I ramble more than anyone. And I think it took me three posts to come up with a hypothetical answer haha.^^^ That's what I'm saying, you used fewer words because you are smart
Maybe you are not very strong -but smart for sure.Lmao....if using few words means you are smart...then I am screwed. I ramble more than anyone. And I think it took me three posts to come up with a hypothetical answer haha.
You have to bring the shoulders forward, at least on the machine I use. As HIT4ME said, no elbow movement = apparently -no shoulder involvement.When I curl on a preacher -- machine or DB, the leverage essentially tries to pull my shoulder straight out in front of me.
But, you're right -- at least with a machine, the motion is only in one direction, which I GUESS would lessen the chance for injury.
I'm definitely worried about my shoulders.You have to bring the shoulders forward, at least on the machine I use. As HIT4ME said, no elbow movement = apparently -no shoulder involvement.
Kaprice, watch your shoulder! I got paranoia after the injury. All started with discomfort when benching -and ended in months of struggle to get the damn shoulder healed. Interestingly, the tendon teared when doing front raises (heavy), not while benching -but I was warned early on and ignored it.
Yes, yes.I'm definitely worried about my shoulders.
But, as for no shoulder movement if there's not elbow movement, that's demonstrably false.
If I hold my arm out in a 90 degree angle, stabilize my elbow, and then press down on my hand, the shoulder is a fulcrum and it pulls my shoulder forward. Try it.
Awesome Work! BrotherSo, today I tried the sample pack of Cordygen-NanO2 from MST -@habajaba provided me with.
Downed it as a pre workout 30 minutes before gym. No intra workout BCAA's today to see if the Cordygen delivers something.

I give you one arm and all my hip tire, deal? LOLI wanna pair of hairygrandpa arms!! Looking massive my friend!
Awesome set, brother! I think this is where Cordygen really shines. With high rep, low rest lifts and cardio, it really speeds up recovery and adds some endurance.So, today I tried the sample pack of Cordygen-NanO2 from MST -@habajaba provided me with.

They suck azz. It's difficult to keep going once you notice that you have no strength.Crappy workouts from not feeling well always suck
