Pushing Boundaries and Squashing Children with the Ultimate Stack

UPDATES

Monday we did back, yes back not chest cause he decided to do it on Sunday instead. :mad: It was a good workout and we did different stuff but I don't remember it all so that's the end of that update. Oh and my back is still a bit sore today so it was a swell workout.

Yesterday was legs. I probably had one of my worst sessions ever. I didn't sleep and felt like crap, but from lack of sleep not sick. So I forced myself to go anyways and hoped I would feel better like I usually would. Nope. I made it through the workout but did really light weight and high reps.

Today was shoulders but while my gym partner was on the treadmill, I got some chest in to make up for earlier this week.

-Decline Bench Press (haven't done these in a long time, can't even remember the last time):
worked up to 315 and got 3 reps at 315. That felt good.

-Incline Bench Press:
worked up to 225 and got 6. These felt pretty good today so I decided to go for a PR.
275---fail. I got three assisted reps but none on my own.

Not much but it was time to move on to delts.

-Barbell Overhead Press:
Worked up to 205 and they felt pretty good so I decided to try 225. Again.
225-Fail. Again. I moved the weight this time but just couldn't finish the whole thing by myself. Got 5 or 6 assisted reps. I'll get it though.

-Bent Over Lat Raises with cable
compound setted with:
-Seated machine lat raises

-DB Lat raises
compound setted with:
-DB Upright Rows

-Behind the neck OHP on smith machine
light weight to finish.

Edited to save time reading. :spank:
 
Did chest today. Yes I just hit it the day before but it was only a couple exercises and I'm already recovered. Doing arms the day before chest kinda sucks cause I felt that it limited my chest workout.


-Flat Bench Press
30x135
225
275
315
275
275
225
135


-DB Incline Press
This one we went for higher reps and lower weights so we only went up to 90's.


-Cable Flyes
5 sets


Got a decent chest pump today. I only took Swoll-N today at 5 caps.

Thanks, feeling pretty good, but getting fatigued too. Sunday is going to be nice to have that day off. That's better. Why can't you be more supportive and friendly like this guy?

Solid lifts! I do a similar pyramid up and down pattern.

And lol I can't do biceps anytime near my push day. When I used to have an arm day I made the mistake of doing bis before tris and close grip bench and skull crushers had such a limited ROM I couldn't even feel it.

Anyway solid log brotha, glad you are liking the product

Thanks bud. Yeah my workout partner picks the bodypart for the day. I try to influence him away from stuff like that but it doesn't work all the time. Is NLA going to be at the Arnold? I'm going to be there and my lifting partner has a bunch of photo shoots there as well.

OH man! I got a nasty flu and it was killing me! I got earaches in both ears, vomiting, the poops, the chills and snots, all the good stuff. Finally got back into the gym yesterday and did some chest. Lifts were down a bit, but that's to be expected, especially since I lost another 8 pounds from it. I went in and did and hour and a half of cardio and abs today.

Me too. It was killer. Saturday and Sunday were the worst. I lived at the toilet and even threw up water. Lost 8 freakin' pounds! I guess I was just getting a head start on my diet!

LOL! :D I usually don't get sick very often but this season it's just been hitting me for some reason. I blame my kids and daycare!
 
Tomorrow will be my last day on NLA before I'm out. I will put up a final review by this weekend.

Updated goals: I did my measurements and found that after my last few months of bulking, I weighed the same but got stronger and lost 7% bodyfat and am leaner then I thought. SO I decided to do a show in April and if I'm in decent enough shape, then I'll do a BB competition next month as well. I am now full swing into contest prep, yum tilapia and green beens for lunch. I think the dieting part is the worst, lol!

I will log all of this in my workout journal that I have neglected for the last year or so, lol!

You are so welcome Brother! And by the way I highly recommend the new Supp-d. I got to workout today my arms with 1.5 scoops of supp-d and 3 swoll-n and I wanna say I was Jacked up. Not just saying that cause I'm a rep but its amazing stuff and I will add that there's going to be a realy nice sale on NLA around the end of this Month ;)
 
Did legs today.


-Squats to start things off.
135
225
315 (damn this was heavy today. Looks like the flu really took a toll on me)
315
315
all right at or around 8 reps




-Leg Extensions
supersetted with:
-Hamstring Curls
supersetted with:
-Calf Raises
These were done in the higher rep ranges with no rest at all between any of the exercises or sets. Did 4 sets of this. After I was done, I started walking and had to sit down right away because my legs started seizing up and hurting like a mother. Exact same thing happened to my training partner. Took me almost ten minutes and some stretching to get them to finally settle down. We walked around a bit to loosen them up and then continued.


-Seated Calf Raises
compound setted with:
-Single Leg FreeMotion Cable Calf Presses
4 sets, no rest


-Leg Kickbacks (machine) for hamstrings and glutes
supersetted with:
-Back Extensions
supersetted with:
-Ab Cruches (machine)
We did these the same way, no rest at all between exercises or sets and did 4 sets. In the middle of doing this, some clown jumps in on our ab machine (realize that there are at least a dozen others in this same area, and that there are two of us doing this on three stations with no rest so we are moving station to station pretty quick). So I had to use a different ab machine half the time. Then two older ladies decided to take our kickback station, WTF! Good thing I had just finished my 4th set by that time.


Then did 48 minutes of LISS on the treadmill. Afterwards I trained a friend and while I was putting her through a superset routine, somebody came and took our calf raise bar and took off with it, right in the middle of our workout. Geez new people suck, no gym etiquette. Went and tanned for a whole 7 minutes afterwards. That's about all my pasty white skin can handle.
 
wow...a whole 7 minutes....i bet thats the equivalent to drinking a quart of vodka for blowing off steam, for some people, lol.

Hey, ya gotta be happy with your own stuff or it would make it hard to promote! As for buying more, sales are always enticing, however it's hard for me to buy preworkouts since I get mine for free already! :D

Oh man it hurt so bad! We took yesterday off and then came in this morning and started with LISS cardio and we were both limping on the treadmill until we finally warmed up, lol!
 
Final Review of NLA Ultimate Stack
​

​
SUPP-D

​
I like the inclusion of nitrates and agmatine in this pre-workout supplement. I felt good energy from this one and didn't have any crash or stomach issues. It mixed well also. I guess my only real issue with this one is taste. It was pretty foul. It made it hard to want to drink it sometimes and ended up trying to mask it with Crystal Light packs. However, to be fair, they do have a newer formula and flavors out but I cannot comment on those as I have not tried them.

​
T-BLAST
​

This one has some good ingredients in it. My favorite so far has been DAA which is in this one. Looking online it looks like they took it out of newer versions? Not sure on this. Not a whole lot to mention on this as the effects are more subtle and take longer. I did notice increased libido and I also made some good gains in my lifting including setting new PR's. I cannot attribute ALL of this to T-Blast as I did modify my training, hitting the weights and gym harder and more frequently, better diet, etc. but I certainly think it did help.

​
RECOVER-D


​
This was their post-workout protein formula. The flavor was Chocolate Eclair. It tasted just like Cinnamon Chocolate to me. The taste was actually very good. It mixed very well in a shaker cup with water, no clumps. In a blender with milk it tasted even better but did foam up a lot. My one big issue with this product is that it horrible on my GI system. It bloated me up and gave me the worst gas of any protein I've ever had. This happened every time I took it, however it did subside in severity with continually ingestion but it was still present. I even tried stopping use for a couple weeks and then starting it back up again to assess it better and make sure it wasn't something else. The GI problems went away as soon as I stopped use and started up again as soon as I consumed it again.


​
SWOLL-N
​
This one was their pump/vasodilatation product. This is probably the only one that I don't have anything negative to say about at all. Every time I took this product I was able to notice an enhanced pump on the working muscle group, including my legs. I preferred the dosing at 4 caps. I was pleased with the results from this product.

Overall, a good collection of supplements that just needs some fine-tuning. From what I've seen, it looks like NLA is already reformulating some of their products and trying to make them even better. As a new company you can always expect some growing pains but I like that they are at least addressing some of the issues and seeking to improve their line-up. Thanks again to the NLA crew for the opportunity to try these out.

​
 
they have improved the supp-d...better taste and more agmatine[i think]...gonna give it a try soon!!!



nice review, kj!!!
