Nice! I'm about an hour in my home gym right now. 2.5 hours is a good chunk of time for sure!Thanks. Usually i spend around 2h 30min in the gym. Thats including all the warmup, cooldown and stretching.
Yeah I couldnt do 1 hour. That would only give me like 30 minutes of lifting due to my rigorous focus on warming up and cooling down haha. Everything to stay healthy and recover!Nice! I'm about an hour in my home gym right now. 2.5 hours is a good chunk of time for sure!
Yea I think the reason I can fit in an hour is cause my warm up and cool down is lacking/minimal. I need to improve on that area for sure!Yeah I couldnt do 1 hour. That would only give me like 30 minutes of lifting due to my rigorous focus on warming up and cooling down haha. Everything to stay healthy and recover!
I guess you'll just have to ensure you plan out what you're running ahead of time in order to get your order in so it will get to you on time for when you want to start a run.MAIL BAG SUPER EDITION
Over the last month ive done some shopping and I figured I could post up my purchases here for those that follow along!
View attachment 207514
This was my first ever attempt at purchasing directly from SNS. Living in Sweden its always a gamble getting orders over from USA. But this time I tried using a re-shipper called ShopUSA. They give me an US adress that the webshop ships to, then they repack and send it to me and handle all the custom clearing. I pay them and dont have to worry about it.
It worked swimmingly well! I ordered during a sale and made sure to go above the free shipping limit to reduce the cost as much as possible.
Caffeine Free Focus XT - This is a product ive been wanting to try for a while. I want to use it as a midday pickmeup with any stims. But also something to stack with a higher stim PWO when needed. I can say it has NOT dissapointed me, fantastic product and I want to get hold of more as I am now beingy a bit stingy whith when to use it as I dont want it to run out haha.
Anacyclus XT - One of the newest additions to the SNS line. Its a natural testosterone booster that also has libido enhancing properties. Im about 2 weeks in now and im really enjoying it. Yes, I am stacking it with CEL M-Test, but ive been taking that for over 20 weeks so im familiar with how that feels. Ive bee noticing distinct strength increases and a boost to my libido. Very happy that I got 2 bottles so that I have enough for a 8 week run.
Amentoflavone XT - This is also one of the new products from SNS and it caught my eye because of the enhanced pumps it provides. I am a sucker for a massive pump during training! But the more i read I also understood that also has some great health properties. Because of this Ive been taking it every day. 2 caps with my PWO on workout days and 2 caps spaced out with meals on off days. The pump aspect is indeniable and very strong. Very happy with this purchase as well.
Joint Support XT - This was a given for me to get. Everything to support and strengthen my joints, tendons and ligaments is getting more and more important as I age. Also ive been battling a achilled inflammation for close to a year and this is a key products to keep it in check and maybe some day make it go away!

This was 2 deliveries from 2 EU based shops (Bodyshock and Powermyself) as I wanted to compare shipping times, cost etc. Unfortunately it does seem like my days of buying from them are over and SNS/CEL will get my buisness directly.
GlycoPhase - This has been a staple for me for a very long time now. Nutrition partitioning is something im very enthusiastic about and belive it to be a very important role in building and maintaining a lean, musclular physique. Also make sure that my energy and recovery is on par to keep working hard every day. I, unlike many use this around my workout as in my mind this is the most important time of day for shutteling nutrients where they need to be ASAP.
Epi-Plex - Another product that now has become a staple. Its main claim to faim is its Myostatin inhibitition which is something I cannot feel so its hard to comment on that effect. But increase in strength, stamina and vasuclarity is something I absolutely can attest to.

These two orders are identical in content BUT one was shipped directly to me and the other thru the re-shipper. The direct shipment was a bit cheaper but took a little over 2 weeks longer to get to me. SO it all depends on if I want it NOW or if I can bare to wait a little longer for my delivery.
Focus XT - If you are looking for the most complete focus focused (lol) PWO out there then this is the one to get. I am not a stim person when it comes to my PWOs. Even though i get up at 05:00am to train before work, i dont need much stim. But a solidfocus and pump (we are getting to that) makes my workout superior. Plus I dont feel like crap when I get to work afterwards. It is also very stackable and Ive been wanting to have this as a permanent addition to my PWO rotation for a long time and now I have 2 tubs!
VasoForce XT - As ive mentioned before I am a big fan and beliver that the pump is more than just a "good feeling". I belive it aids in shutteling nutrients into the muscle and in that way it aids in muscle growth. I have tried VasoForce XT before and the pump effect is insane. Im usually a nitrate fan when it comes to pump, but this has shoved me that nitrates are not needed when other potentially more potent ingredients are present. This has now become my go to pump product.
VasoForce Rush - So this has everything that VasoForce XT has PLUS a serious stim packet. I have yet to take a full serving of this, because im saving that for workouts that really needs it. But what I have done is switched one or two VasoForce XT caps out with 1 of VasoForce Rush. Combined with a scoop of Focus XT this gives me just that little extra that sometimes are needed. I am working extra hard on my back for instance, so those days I afford myself a little bit more stim so that I can crush it.
Yeah I dont mind that. As you might have gotten from my log, I like to plan stuff haha!I guess you'll just have to ensure you plan out what you're running ahead of time in order to get your order in so it will get to you on time for when you want to start a run.
Awesome I'll take a look at the workout split thread!Legs - DELOAD

I have an active golden retriever so my choice would be dog walkSo now Im on the new program and the volume on these week day workouts are definitely lower. I think I can squeeze in another 20 minutes of sleep on this day. Or, i can take the dogs on a walk in the morning and let my fiance sleep in. Decisions decisions!
Yeah they get plenty of walks and my fiance USED to find it enjoyable to take them on their morning walks haha. But im getting a sense that she would like a break!I have an active golden retriever so my choice would be dog walk
Yeah i can imagine a leg press is a big investment for a home gym. Luckily the gym i joined earlier this year is heavily focused on leg equipment. The gyms name is Legendary and you cant spell legendary without leg day. Pretty clever actually!Workout is on point. I haven't been to a gym in awhile so I am missing the leg press on leg day On a positive note I'm starting to build up my home gym so maybe in the future it will have a leg press.
It sounds legendary Legs are my weak point so I need that gym!Yeah i can imagine a leg press is a big investment for a home gym.

Week was good and kept on point with the diet.
Sunday my daughter and I worked out together and after we went to Subway where i had 2 subs. Then we went to a small cafe and had some cakes. So it wasnt that much extra food. But when i got home... i ate 16 slices of bread with a punch of peanut butter, bananas and Nutella haha. Unfortunately I dont have a picture of any of it, BUT here is the breakdown of my calories on Sunday.

Recovery:
(Sleep measured with my Whoop that I wear all day and night)
View attachment 207895View attachment 207896
This is the BEST recovery week Whoop has shown me since i started wearing it.
Wondering if its the new program or if its some kind of delayed readings after last weeks deload.
Supplement comments:
A month in with Anacyclus-XT and it keeps improving both strength but also libido.
Recovery is obviously at an all time high and it might be a factor in that as well.
Starting to run out of M-Test now, but its seems @sns8778 is about to get it in stock, so I might have to put in a rush order there!
My wife says she doesn't snore but I when I get woken up by it as well I find it hard to believe. Video recording for proof of evidenceMy sleep was sub par last night. I felt like i was up peeing 100 times and when i weren, i got woken up by my fiances snoring haha. BUT I still managed to score a green recovery. So im very pleased.
Haha I cant do that to her, but she knows she snores. The kids hear her thru the walls haha. Even their friends know, so if she doesnt snore one night they ask if she is ok haha.My wife says she doesn't snore but I when I get woken up by it as well I find it hard to believe. Video recording for proof of evidence
That is one of those effects that I cant speak too much about because of my diet and supplement regime overall. I am in a caloric surplus with 400g carbs a day, i take GlycoPhase before 2-3 carb meals a day. I use VasoForce XT/RUSH before every workout AND im using Epi-Plex. So i constantly experience increased fullness and blood flow thoughout the day.Do you get the muscles fullness and increase blood flow from the anacyclus?
I guess they make ear plugs for a reasonHaha I cant do that to her, but she knows she snores. The kids hear her thru the walls haha. Even their friends know, so if she doesnt snore one night they ask if she is ok haha.
Yeah its been a long while since ive felt like that. I was afraid id lost my mojo as i have run out of M-Test!Everybody has those groggy days/workouts every once in awhile. Glad yours ended up with a great workout though.
I hope the pup is doing better. Will keep you and him in our prayers.Saturday, 11 September 2021 at 08:14

Ive had a couple days in a row with low recovery score now. Yesterday was in the red and even with a rest day i barely scraped into the yellow today. I went out to eat on thursday but it was a health food place so I only had a chicken and egg salad. Then i had some slices of bread at home pluss some proats. So it shouldnt drop all the way to the red for that.
BUT there has been another thing that probably is the cause. Ive been noticing that one of my puppies has been acting a bit off for a couple of days. Yesterday morning i saw him limping for a little bit but then he was walking normal again. But there definately was something wrong, so i texted my fiance telling her we needed to get him to the vet. Well, when she came home from the gym, Julian (the dog) must have aggrivated it because he was so happy to se his mommy. Because he started screaming and crying in a way ive never heard him do before.
I ran to him and tried to calm him down but he was obviously in so much pain and so scared that he wouldnt calm down. We called the vet and got in almost at once. I had to go to work but luckily my fiance had the day off. They x-rayed him and couldnt fint anything that was torn or broken. But its his right back knee he is having pain in. So now he is on some pain and inflamation meds. In was really hard to leave him this morning, i took him for a little walk and he couldnt put any weight on the leg.
On one hand its great that nothing was torn or broken, but that means I dont know what is wrong. Breaks my heart to see him in his bed with his little leg twitching from pain.

That's sad. I hate it when it's the unknown. I'd almost rather know something was torn or broken so you have a steady path to recovery but the unknown you don't know what it is or how long it will take to heal.Saturday, 11 September 2021 at 08:14

That's really cute. I love animals. I'm glad that he is doing better and hope he will continue to get better.Thank you for you concern. Its been a rough weekend but it does seem like he is doing better. Now if that just the drugs kicking in or if his leg is better is hard to tell. But i did take him for a walk this morning and he walked without a limp. So im hoping for the best.
We had a great moment yesterday. I was sitting on the couch relaxing with him besides me. He was squirming and tryng to find a way to lie so that his foot didnt hurt. Eventually he crawled on top of me and curled into a ball between my legs. There he fel asleep and slept for over 2 hours. I didnt have the heart to move before he did so i decided to take a nap myself haha.
