But we'll see, have a trip to the zoo planned with the family so will get lots of steps in.

Pump city!Yeah all those sets you should have one hell of a pump!

when I notice my wife is tickling her nose more often when we are watching tv in bed or something I know it's time for me to trim the chest hair down a bit cause it's getting in her nose lolI have a little hair but not even sure it is enough to see on most pictures. Now my chest and stomach is another story.
I bet you were feeling that!!BB Squats:
95x12
175x10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10
Now imagine it is that long and snow white. Yep that's mine. I have the body and facial hair of a 75 year old man!when I notice my wife is tickling her nose more often when we are watching tv in bed or something I know it's time for me to trim the chest hair down a bit cause it's getting in her nose lol
I bet you were feeling that!!
I bet you were feeling that!!
Oh yeah, legs felt swole for sure. Tried taking my daughter out in our wagon for a short walk this evening and my legs were asking me what I was thinking! My lower back is giving me a little grief, so hopefully that'll go away by tomorrow.@Segansational I bet you were walking funny after that session. If not I bet you will be soon!
Thanks brother.Looking strong and big man!!
was following along the thread about the release for oracle…. Pretty intense lol
Thanks Kleen. Just got back from using 1 scoop...Looking great man! Can;t wait to hear your thoughts on the Oracle. Mine should be coming in soon!
Ok, thoughts post-workout with 1 scoop:
Took 1 scoop on the way to the gym. Effects started to come on about 25 mins into my drive. Light sensation of fast heart rate, consistent, but less intense than what I experience with alpha-y pre's. Like just under the surface. By 40 mins in (traffic/accident on the highway) started to feel that nervous energy, as if my muscles had to start moving. Too bad I was stuck in traffic.![]()
Pretty light in terms of stim effect otherwise or focus, but also I want to give it another proper go when I don't hit a delay in getting to the gym. Was probably close to an hour by the time I actually started my first set. Taste is pretty sweet, Smarties would be the flavor I'd peg it as. Has a bit of a "slick" mouthfeel also is how I'd describe it, likely due to the sugary flavoring. Good, given the sort of hit or miss flavoring in the past. May try 1.5 scoops next, but that'll probably be my limit in terms of alpha-y tolerance.
Now just gotta work on these T-rex arms!Looking good, Quadrasaurus!
At 1 scoop it was pretty mild, but I think the low dose alpha-y could be good for cardio days. Today I tried out 1.5 scoops pre-WO and the beta alanine tingles hit HARD 20 mins in.Sounds like Oracle was pretty nice for you. I think mine should be here early this week if not today. I don't have a tracking though so not sure.
So far, so good. I honestly wasn't expecting too much based on profile, but the energy has been good. Smooth and clean, very low jitters, even with the alpha-y at 2 scoops. Pump is probably low to moderate, but hard for me to tell too as I also do high volume workouts like you.So far the Oracle sounds like it is treating you pretty well. How do you rate it on pumps?
Yeah I agree. One scoop would be just enough to give you that extra kick.I have a feeling this will be nice for a LISS or HIIT session too. It increases sweating and body temp from what I felt off of just 1 scoop and can see 1 scoop being perfect pre-cardio!
Have a good Easter with the family and birthday festivities!! Yeah that sale is a good one, got a nice stock up myself.27:07, 141 cals on the bike this morning. One more workout session tomorrow before heading out for Easter and kids' birthday festivities.

Same to you brother!Have a good Easter with the family and birthday festivities!! Yeah that sale is a good one, got a nice stock up myself.
Coach would have had to carry me to my truck!!! That’s a huge legs day man awesome.Same to you brother!
Yeah, thinking I might run a natty anabolic stack of Anacyclus XT + Ursa Gel next up. Maybe tie it into Recomp20 right after to tighten it up. Boom, next two months planned out.
Leg Day with coach.
He really put me through the paces today, lots or squat variations plus partials, and some single leg iso for good measure.

~48 mins, 298 cals. This is under reported, as I didn't start recording my fitbit until after the warm up.
Absolutely toasted! Lots of assisted stretching today as my left hip flexor had been feeling really tight. Sweat like crazy.

Intra: 1 scoop Juice, 10g glutamine
Post: 2 brown sugar Pop Tarts, 1 scoop Isolate with almond milk. Earned these f*cking pop tarts!
Thanks for the vote of confidence! I considered this at the end of last year just for the fun of it. Got the email the other day and thought about it again. I don't know if I have the constitution to do all it takes to make the submittal, i.e. weighing and marking plates, making a video etc.Hope everyone is having a great weekend! My legs are toast right now, haha.

I guess if you just can’t take a day to do a local meet that’s cool of Rogue, but that is more work than just doing a powerlifting meet! I would spend the $150 to do a meet and let the promoter provide calibrated equipment etc. Then they will record your total on Open Powerlifting so it’s visible publicly forever.Hope everyone is having a great weekend! My legs are toast right now, haha.

It’s why I keep competing. The adrenaline of having to do it there on the day, with other people cheering you on watching, and watching the other guys hoping they do well too - everyone generally wants to see everyone make their lifts at local meets.You know, that might just be the thing to do! Maybe once I get through this goal of a BB show, I'll buckle down on my strength goals and make one to specifically target a PL meet. Not to necessarily hit any stretch goals, but just for the experience. Feel like that atmosphere alone could just be a cool thing to experience.
Facts, it is not as "me against you" like it is for a physique based show. Plus nothing helps with adherence more than having something you need to be at your best for with a deadline.It’s why I keep competing. The adrenaline of having to do it there on the day, with other people cheering you on watching, and watching the other guys hoping they do well too - everyone generally wants to see everyone make their lifts at local meets.
You can max out in any gym, but it’s the camaraderie of the competition that makes the experience more special I think.
Cool stuff, I had helped a number of buddy's and competitors I coached (or coached with in some cases) do video comps for some huge qualifiers.Hope everyone is having a great weekend! My legs are toast right now, haha.

I always enjoyed Wild Thing, it's a great Pre!Arms.
Bird Dogs x10,5,3
Warm Up, supersets:
TRX biceps curls 2x10
Dips 2x10
GVT Supersets:
EZ bar curls +60x6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6
CG BP, 135x6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6
Surprised I was able to hit all 10 sets on these. Could probably move up on close grip, but will need to keep an eye on my elbow joints as left one was acting up a tad.
50:58, 171 cals.
Powered through today, even though my energy level wasn't fully there. Obliques were feeling it from yesterday's side bends. Was pleasantly surprised at how well the curls went today with this weight. Skipped shoulders, but will look to hit them this weekend with coach.
Pre: 1 packet Wild Thing Rocket Pop. First time trying this out. The flavor was probably one of the more true Rocket Pop flavors I've had recently. Beta alanine tingles came on fast.
Intra: 1 scoop Juice, 10g glutamine
Are you using elbow sleeves?Surprised I was able to hit all 10 sets on these. Could probably move up on close grip, but will need to keep an eye on my elbow joints as left one was acting up a tad.
how are the guns today?EZ bar curls +60x6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6
CG BP, 135x6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6,6
Sometimes, just depends on how I'm feeling, but it's a little annoying to constantly pull them on and off when supersetting with biceps.Are you using elbow sleeves?
So far so good, but usually it hits the next day. Take a look back in my log at last week's arm session with my coach, some crazy growth forcing exercises in there.how are the guns today?
I really want to craft a legit "arms" day but it's easy to get bored with the repetition. Today I did sets of ez bar curls, seated incline db curls, db curls standing, and hammer curls for a pump. TBH I feel like it was only half of what I should have done on a truly legit bicep blast day
yeah I saw that, a lot of sets! good pump?So far so good, but usually it hits the next day. Take a look back in my log at last week's arm session with my coach, some crazy growth forcing exercises in there.
