The second leg workout of the week went pretty good!
Vertical press has been out of order for a while and was finally fixed today, its a favorite of mine.
The gym is getting around 50 new pieces the coming months from brands like Watson, Prime and Hammer Strength. Really looking forward to that!

Had pretty good sleep metrics last night. Im usually asleep within minutes but always wakes up a couple of times to go pee. Also our oldest dog Julian is 2 weeks outta surgery so he sleeps with a cone on. He also always sleeps between my legs, so you can imagine having a big ol cone moving around there. But I dont have the heart to move him, also he is so stinking cute!

Definitely cute! Is that a green cast on his back leg?

Yeah, he had surgery on his knee a little over 2 weeks ago. He injured his other knee last year and we had to rush him into surgery. When he was in there they said his other knee was showing signs of the same and recommended us to operate on that as well. Funny thing is that when we came in with him this time, they asked what we had done. Cuz he had built so much muscle the last year that a surgery almost wasnt needed.

You've been slipping him some Anabolic Effect in his dog food haven't you ;)

Weekly Report 01.August - 07.August
Week 1 SNS Recomp20

Diet:

(Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)

220468


Kept to the diet as planned this week with some nice extra food on Saturday.

Body Composition:
(Weight and body fat measured on a FitBit Aria Scale every morning)

220469


No change in body weight this week so everything is on track.

Recovery:
(Measured with my Apple Watch that I wear all day and night)

220470


Recovery was a bit sub par last week so hoping to improve that this week.

Comments:
The last month or so Ive been having some issues with my stomach in form of gas and just having to immediately empty mo bowels. Ive been trying to figure out the cause but nothing so far. My latest theory is that im getting too much electrolytes as I am drinking a lot of it to prevent nightly calf cramps. So im halfing the amount starting today and we will see if it helps.
MY STOMACH ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED TO RECOMP20.
IVE BEEN STRUGGLED WITH THAT FOR MONTHS NOW.

Recomp20 log:

One week down! Not that much to report so far. Ive not gotten any increased hunger or any other potential side effects. What I have noticed is a fuller feeling and look to my physique. Usually that comes with a weight gain in the form of fuller glykogen storages or more intra muscular water. But the weight has not moved.
Excited to see what the next week brings!​

Usually the first 4-5 meals are the same as always. Then in the evening i have something more caloric dense.

Like this saturday I made home made pizza with a sourdough bottom. Half Hawaiian the other half Pepperoni. For a dessert i had a Ben&Jerry. So 2k from the Pizza and Ice Cream plus the 3k from normal food.

You do one cheat day a week correct? Or I guess one cheat meal in this case?

Haha well I would too, so I limit it to once a week. Maybe two :p

Yeah I dont really count it as a cheat, more a treat! I allow myself 1-2 extra meals a week when i fancy it. It doesnt have to be on a Saturday, but it tends to fall on that day.

That's a lot of food !
I doesnt feel like a lot of food. I could easilly eat much much more :D

My Current PWO Stack

220550


Ive been enjoying having some different PWO's to rotate based on what im training and how im feeling. These are the ones im running right now. Im a low to medium stim guy who prefers strong pump and focus. So going from left to right:

Raw Nutrition CBUM Thavage
220552


This is the best "all in one" PWO ive ever tried. Ive been doing 1 scoop and its been great. At that dose its also the cheapest PWO ive ever used as I havent found any need to stack it with anything. Im running out now and im seriously debating getting another one.

Apollon Nutrition Hooligan Bare Knuckle
220553


A very good no stim pump and focus PWO. Ive tried full scooping it a couple of times but to be honest, half scoops works just as well! Which means I get a great value out of it. I really enjoy it as I do feel like nitrates work really well for me. This I have been stacking with my more stim/focus pre workouts.

SNS VasoForce XT and VasoForce Rush
220554
220555


These two has been a staple of a while now. They are great on their own but also amazing for stacking with each other or other PWO's. I have a thread about all of SNS Pre Workouts if you want more in depth.

SNS PWO Reviews (Focus-XT, Focus-XT Caffeine Free, VasoForce Rush, VasoForce XT) - AnabolicMinds.com

But i really do love these and im starting to more and more prefer caps instead of drinks.

HPS Outsmart
220556


This is a little product that caught my attention. Not just as a PWO but as a pick me up at work. Ive tried this both stacking it with other PWO's and solo. To me, half a serving of this is perfect for some extra focus and energy at work. So i usually get 150-200mg caffeine pre workout and then 50mg from this 7 hours later.

PES Prolific and High Volume
220557
220558


These two ive been running for close to 5 years now. 1 scoop Prolific and 2 scoop High Volume has been my go to. Unfortunately I have the EU version of High Volume so Agmatine is replaced with another gram of Citrulline. Most know about these and have tried them out. Great duo and something I often recommend.​

This is something I would love to do as well. Unfortunately living in a small town far north in Sweden, there isnt many options. So we maybe go out once every other months just so we dont always hang out at home haha. Like tomorrow its me and my fiances anniversary and we want to break the pattern of a regular week by going out. But we cant find anything that is remotely interesting haha. Weve been everywhere!

Weekly Report 08.August - 14.August
Week 2 SNS Recomp20

Diet:

(Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)

220748


This week me and my fiance celebrated our anniversary on Thursday. We went out to one of our fav spots and I got what I always get there, a club sandwich (i also got some home made cake when i got back home)

220749


220751


When we look at input vs output we can see that im pretty much at maintanence during the week. With my extra meal bringing me in a weekly surplus.

Body Composition:
(Weight and body fat measured on a FitBit Aria Scale every morning)

220750


Because my extra meal came on thrusday my weekly average weight is a little up. But that will correct itself by next week.

Recovery:
(Measured with my Apple Watch that I wear all day and night)

220752


Still not the greatest week of recovery and I think more sleep will be the key. I know that if I by some miracle could get 8 hours average, id recover heaps better. But getting to bed at 8pm during the summer in a place where we have midnight sun, isnt alwyas viable.

220753


Comments:
Continuing from last week, im still working on my stomach issues (that ive had for a couple of months). Reducing the electrolytes did not solve it, but it did make my calf cramps come back. So now ive removed sweet potatoes and salmon from my diet and have not had an issue after that. Im also going to remove quinoa for awhile and see how i fare.
MY STOMACH ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED TO RECOMP20.
IVE BEEN STRUGGLED WITH THAT FOR MONTHS NOW.

Recomp20 log:

Same comment as last week. I feel constantly fuller and tighter. Even when doing legs my arms blow up. Ive not noticed any leaning out yet, but as I am pretty lean already i never expected that. Energy while training is good and im ready for a new week.​

Good call on trying to take out quinoa. I can’t remember where I read it now, and no idea how valid it is, but something about if quinoa isn’t washed well enough prior to cooking, it can leave too much saponins which trigger digestive issues

This and plus I just don't like the texture or taste of them in general so I vote for taking out :)

I get that, but 50g of quinoa a day gives 15-20mg of 20-hydroxyecdysone. So gains!

And I’m a huge fan of consuming things in their natural form as much as possible as I feel absorption/digestion will be superior to supplemental forms. Nothing to back this up, just seem right given how poorly absorbed many phytonutrients are as isolated compounds

So my gym is going thru a renovation and we are getting 50 new machines! A couple had landed today from an Europen brand called Watson. Among those was the TruSquat which ive never tried before. It was really great, but wow it was heavy. I barely had to load anything. But it felt great on my quads and my knees didnt get strained at all.

Just googled that brand. It looks nice and I love the TruSquat machine! Did they get the lime green and black colors?

I’ve lately been adding 200 to 300 g of dry quinoa into an instant pot with water, soy sauce, garlic, and a bit ginger. So now I’m locked in for those Ecdy gainz

Weekly Report 15.August - 21.August
Week 3 SNS Recomp20

Diet:

(Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)

221024


No extra meal this week. I only had 2 donuts with a meal on Sunday. So my average kcal intake was a bit lower.

221025


Seems like im basically breaking even on kcal in VS kcal out.

Body Composition:
(Weight and body fat measured on a FitBit Aria Scale every morning)

221026


Since the little extra i ate was on Sunday, my bodyweight this week ended up being the lowest since i started Recomp20.

Recovery and exertion:
(Measured with my Apple Watch that I wear all day and night)

221027


Sleep was on point this week! I did say last week that I wanted to get above 8 hours average and i managed that! Hoping to keep this trend going.

221028


This is a measure of total cardivascular load over the course of each day (0-10 scale).

221029


Recovery is based on HRV and RHR.
I dont really know why i was in the red on friday, i sure didnt feel bad or anything.

Comments:
My stomach felt much better this week. I did have some crazy bathroom trips on tuesday, but after that it got really good.
The 2 donuts on Sunday was a test and i got a serious amount of gas from them and had 3 solid trips to the bathroom today.
Ive gone and ordered a digestion product that I will introduce and see how it goes.
MY STOMACH ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED TO RECOMP20.
IVE BEEN STRUGGLED WITH THAT FOR MONTHS NOW.

Recomp20 log:
I wish I had something new to say here haha. But its STILL keeping me full and hard! With a drop in weight on top that also means im looking a little leaner. One more week then its time to up the calories! Thats going to be awesome.​

Haha, im not planning on upping them more than around 150 kcal a day, so dont get your hopes up!
Hey 150 can go a long way when it comes to overall calories! :)
