Hey... there’s quite a few. Can you tell me which one you got?
Very reasonably priced.

Thank you! I was deciding between that one and the white one
Oh no! So sorry to hear! Sure hope you feel better quickly! Do you know what caused it?Well, 3 steps forward, 2 steps back. Seems to be the story for me lately when it comes to fitness. Writing this as I woke up this morning with pretty debilitating lower back pain. Having difficulty getting around, so using some heat, advil, and rest at the moment. Will keep everyone updated.
Seg, hope you are feeling better today.Oh no! So sorry to hear! Sure hope you feel better quickly! Do you know what caused it?

Thanks for the well wishes! Was starting to think nobody cared...Seg, hope you are feeling better today.
Yes, let us know what you think may have caused it.
Good idea about resting and glad it wasn’t a herniated disc instead. Take good care of yourself, my friend!Thanks for the well wishes! Was starting to think nobody cared...
Quick update, feeling much better yesterday and today. Walking around relatively well after resting and not doing any lifting of anything the other day. Back overall just spasmed. Still slightly sore, but the doc prescribed a muscle relaxant and corticosteorid and that has definitely helped. That plus ice. Completely off all supps for now, just to ensure no interactions with my medications. Honestly, I think it was the combo of shoveling snow two days in a row, one day of which I also did my back workout on, and just generally being older than I care to admit. I'll be babying my back the remainder of this week - no working out, limited manual labor. Hoping to be 100% by thurs or fri, then I'll slowly wean myself back into some very light workouts next week until I can get back into the swing of things.
Man, that totally sucks! Rest up! The gym will always be there.Well, I was feeling better and mostly back to normal, weaned off all my meds all day yesterday and today, until my back just spasmed randomly while I was digging in a box in the attic. Dropped me to my knees. Was planning to start back up in the gym tomorrow... guess that's ruled out now.
This week without lifting has been tough. I was really looking forward to getting back into the swing of things. Working out has been the only normalcy in all of this craziness, so not having that as part of my routine to look forward to now is definitely a mental psych out.Man, that totally sucks! Rest up! The gym will always be there.
Thanks brother. Hoping the past two weeks off and needing to go light for the next few weeks doesn't hinder my progress too much. Was starting to feel like I was finally hitting a stride...Subbed! You got a great physique man!
The new version of Supreme is ok but I still have the old version which I use very sparingly. Wish they didn’t have to change the formula.Since I've been talking about it, here's my Superhuman stack! The Pre SUPREME is pretty stim heavy, high dose of caffeine, EnXtra, Eria Jarensis, and alpha yohimbine. Surpisingly, it was well-balanced taking my first full scoop dose. POST adds in creatine which I haven't used in a while. And for SLEEP, doses of GABA, mucuna pruriens, melatonin, and KSM-66.

Yeah, I've been pretty impressed with their stuff so far. Particularly liked their pre/fat burner Burn.Those look good dude.
Jealous.Yea I currently have the Santa Sauce and I had Jason Juice before.
If you look it’s still available on eBay. I found a store selling it at cost though some want $100, definitely not worth itYeah, I've been pretty impressed with their stuff so far. Particularly liked their pre/fat burner Burn.Jealous.
Yeah, no thanks, I'll pass. Haha. I've already got a ton of OG pre's sitting around anyways if I really want to go hard.If you look it’s still available on eBay. I found a store selling it at cost though some want $100, definitely not worth it
I started using straps for front squats. Feels much more natural. I still have yet to feel overall comfortable doing them though.Cardio and and session yesterday. Legs today. Still went mostly all bodyweight and finished with one weighted exercise.
TRX squats 3x15
TRX alt lunges 3x12
TRX calf raises 3x15 - will need to find a better exercise to do at home if I do end up targeting men's physique.
Front squats, clean grip - bar only 3x12 - I don't know how people do this grip variation. I always feel it stretches my arm too much to feel comfortable in it. But maybe I just need to work on stretching more. Worked on making sure to really keep my core tight.
Facepulls, resistance bands 3x15 - for good measure

Weighed in Monday at 163.4# so pretty significantly down since prior to my injury. Roughly about -4.5# or so... will be letting my body figure out where it needs to be though right now. No real weight goal at the moment. Once I feel more settled in, will start to track and go after true progression towards goal setting.
Sounds like a good sleep stack for sure. I’m interested in getting some more CBD products in my life but it seems like there’s a million brands out there these days.Well, if slow and steady wins the race, then I'll come out on top. Feeling pretty good with my workouts, this morning is my first full weight workout. Don't laugh at me huffing and puffing with these low weights. Feel like it'll take a bit to readjust my stamina and strength, but not trying to push it too far yet. Been consistently getting my 5 days in. Had a full weekend off though and that felt good.
Sleep has been consistently solid since using the Superhuman Sleep/CBD combo. Here's a look at my fitbit.
Bench Press 100# 3x12
TRX neutral grip rows 3x12
Flat bench DB press 40# 3x12
Single arm DB rows 40# 3x10
BB curls +40# 3x10 superset with
Resistance band triceps pressdowns 3x12

Good observations. Was working on back thickness which I do lack with heavy rows and deadlifts until I had my back injury, so I'm probably not going to be able to attack that weakness for a bit. Unless you have different exercises that might help here even with relatively low weight?Pinching your shoulder blades and scapula makes you look smaller from the back. You want to roll them out and release them so you look "Thicker". Looks like you could really use some back thickness and width based on the pics. Could be the posing, but hard to tell.
Push your shoulders down and back and roll your elbows forward so your scapula and lats expand out. This will help show off your hard work better.
A majority of the things you do are banded or TRX for the most part, so regardless of the low-intensity work it won't elicit a great change in thickness or size. You need to first get consistent with your health and nutrition. Once you do this and stop missing sessions and adhering to the plan you will make your best results. Injuries and things come up, but try to minimize those external variables to optimize your time and success. I would also get some bloodwork done again as the at-home test you did was not really accurate. If you really want to do a prep you will want to make sure everything is firing on all cylinders or else a long term deficit will just create more havoc and issues down the road.Good observations.

Was also trying to work on the men's physique mandatories. Their back pose seems to be arms flared up and out. But to your point, I will need to work on pulling my shoulders down and keeping them looser to flare the lats. I much prefer the traditional lat spread pose.
Today's WO was legs with some light weights, including squats. Still trying to keep back flexion rather limited for now.
TRX squats 3x15 superset with TRX alt lunges 3x12
BB squats 100# 3x12
DB SLDLs 10# 3x10 - went very light and never extended fully upright to keep my core tight throughout.
TRX calf raises 3x15

Nice work man!Was craving a different pre today, so dug into my stash of sample I've collected over the years. Pulled out Rupture. What happened to Vein Nutrition? They were around for a hot second. 75 mg DMAA.
Still on my Superhuman stack though, just cracked my Superhuman Greens. People's Pineapple. Decent flavor for a greens powder, still a bit of funkiness to it. But I'd put it in the middle flavor-wise of different greens I've had. Have also added Redcon1 Foxtrot for my joints. Got a bottle of Musclesport Lean Charms coming!
TRX chest press 3x12
Incline BP 100x12, 120x12,12
Incline DB flys 30x10,10,10
Resistance band rows
3x12
Neutral grip pull ups 10,6,5
BB underhand grip rows +50x12,12,12

First full chest/back day felt great. Good mind-muscle connection and really felt like I targeted and isolated my muscles, particularly my lats and middle back on the last exercise. Not going to let ego get in my way of progress here. Let's get after it this week!
Great Job!Felt so good yesterday that I decided to get in another WO this morning. Going to switch back to 4 weight training sessions a week with cardio in between. Weighed in yesterday at 164.2#, 14.8% BF. It's been a while since I've been this lean and under 15% BF. Feeling a bit conflicted about it.
Back on 1 scoop Superhuman Supreme pre-WO. Just finished up my Musclesport BCAA rev, so switching to Cellucor Alpha Amino intra-WO.
Arms:
TRX biceps x TRX triceps 3x12
DB conc curls x DB triceps kick backs 10x10,10,10
BB curls (+40# 3x10) x resistance band triceps pressdowns 3x12
Reverse grip curls +10x10,10,10
Still having to go light due to my right forearm. Reverse grip curls are not my friend, but going to keep these light and try to strengthen my forearm.

Thanks man! Always good to see you dropping by!Great Job!

Not my best. Just wasn't fully mentally invested. Will be good to have the weekend off.
Thanks, I'm nothing if not consistent!Just keep putting in the work brother! Your consistency is impressive!
Love it man ...I still have some of the oldies too.Finished up my Superhuman stack this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it.
But for my next act, I'll be bringing back some oldies, but goodies with this set up. A bit of old school, meets new school, and a few OG @Olympus Labs products in the mix. Miss that crew up in here @GNO @TheMovement might still be around?
Pre-WO: OL Conqu3r Unleashed Krushed Kandy - I know some people hated this flavor, but it was one of my favorites!
Cardio days: Olympus Lyfestyle Grind Energy
Intra-WO/daily: OL Vital1ty Primal Punch - This is an OG product! Still have an unopened tub left after this one too.
Protein: Promises Protein - Currently have Mocha Cappuccino and Cinna Cereal (my personal favorite)
Upper body days: OL HYDRO3
Let's have fun with this one!
