Thoughts on KS and other

Got my workout on today! Missing doing the deadlifts but I was able to continue on the meadow rows where I left off before hurting my back. The sweat was pouring!

Appetite was off the charts today but I kept it controlled, I forgot to note that I took the suggestion and cals have been upped to 2800. Really feeling like a good spot for right now.

Today was a cool day. My work location today was roughly 100ft underground right next to the CN tower. The weather was horrible so the day got called early and I was able to get to the gym.

-Sleep is great
-muscle fullness is great!
-not feeling bloated at all
-got told yesterday I’m looking swole! Lol
-very happy with everything, I feel like I could have been even further ahead without the back injury but I’ll take it all!
 
Meadows rows are my sh*t!! Also getting told you look swole is like the holy grail of compliments lol
 
Yep meadows rows are my go to for back exercises. Always get a pump when I’m doing them.

Yep I always say rest days are just as important as workout days. You need that break to recovery fully and come back and beat your numbers from last week.

That’s a fact. Rest days = optimal performance in the gym
 
Week 6 Day 7

Today was my moms bday so ended up deciding to make today another rest day after getting home from dinner late. I’ve been pushing hard so a little extra rest will do me some good!

Hey your moms birthday is always a good reason to put everything else to the side
 
For sure! A couple rest days in a row are always good.

Exactly. That’s why I take weekends off. I do a 5 day on, 2 day off split. Helps me with recovery and gives me a chance to spend time with family, etc

So you're trying to keep the weight down while on KS?

I’m going into a serious bulk next month so I’ll be above 2800 calories for sure

What number will you be around?

KS seems to be helping handle large meals and not feel bloated. I’ve had some days that I needed to have a pretty large meal late in the day to get up to my calories and my stomach handles it all very well

A little peak into my log book and how I plan and track it all.


Man I felt good at the gym tonight!!


Thoughts on KS

I’ve realized one sort of negative on KS but at the same time KS really isn’t too blame. It’s just my current life situation.

Anyways KS has been getting me into some deep sleeps and keeps me sleeping through the night. The negative comes that I have 3 young kids and 2 of them frequently come into bed and interrupt my sleep. When my sleep gets interrupted I’m extra groggy for the day.

Definitely. It helps with digestion/nutrients uptake BIG TIME. Raw material for growth gets processed efficiently rather than sitting there and rotting.

Thoughts on K1ng Slayer

What can I say, I’m feeling good!!! Feeling less and less pain in my back but I’m being very patient this time.

Sleep is DEEP! Actually having some crazy dreams the last couple nights

Muscle fullness is very enjoyable!

All meals big and small are being digested very easily with no issues at all.

I think the help with digestion of meals is going to help me big time with this bulk. Also the deep sleep as well since I wake up around 5am everyday

The deep sleep is nice! I have always for as long as I can remember been a person who wakes up 1 to 2 times per night to empty the tank but KS has me sleeping right through even though when I wake up the tank is very full haha

That waking up to pee bs can really ruin your sleep if you can’t knock out again.

Had fire training tonight but still decided to hit the gym after for a quick one. I figured I had to! I went out last night to a WWE wrestling show, first time in sooo many years and I got a little drunk. Also first time in a long time.
 
Happy to see you enjoying yourself brother. I haven’t been to a WWE show since I was a kid (back then it was WWF)
 
Great progress dude, pics don’t lie. Look lean and strong!

Haha ya I’m 32 now I think the last one I went to i probably would have been around 10.

They put on a decent show and most of the crowd really gets into it. Pretty sure some guys sitting behind us might still think it’s real!
Spoiler Alert....it’s not! Haha

Those guys that think its real crack me up lol i used to work with a guy who would get so worked up if i said anything about it being fake (which i did every time he said anything about it lol.) I cant watch it. Never been able to. I just literally cant enjoy watching it in the least. The over dramatization of everything, the smack talk, the fake fighting. I think its retarded, no offense intended toward you its just my opinion

Ya no worries man, in my opinion, to each their own, whatever floats their boat. I won the tickets so it didn’t cost me anything. Well just the cost of beer lol
