SNS Glycophase and AE14...time to get pumped (Sponsored)

Got hurt during a burn... went to the doc today I'm looking at herniated disks - cervical and lumbar. And possibly a shoulder girdle tear. Fml.

I agree though waste of a sesh if you can't give it your all.

Yike man, take care and I hope you recover soon!

Oh damn. That sucks. Sorry to hear that.
 
Ok back to business.


Started off this am with my normal cardio warmup. Got a good sweat going and was ready to go. M

Chest
Incline BP stayed at 225lbs for 2 sets of 8 and a set of 6
Flat db press/flys super set 75lbs sets of 8

Tris
JM press super set with 2 arm db extensions
Didn't go higher than 205 and then superset with the 75 lbs db. Awesome pump!


Some thoughts:
Vascularity is increasing, specifically in the forearms and front deltoids. I will acknowledge as well that my bathroom habits are different and that the product of it is also alittle different. Specifically color

Nothing of note tbh. The most prominent changes for me have been quite increased vascularity and the bathroom.

Trust me you don't want pics. Lol
 
Weighed in this am after cardio...204..no real change

Had a great shoulder/bi workout

BTN Press 4 sets 115lbs sets of 8 <great warmup>
Seated press (7 sets) 1 set 205lbs 3 reps, 1 set 195lbs 3 reps :woohoo:

Glass hammer curls 4 sets 45-50 lbs sets of 8-12
Concentration curls 4 sets 35-40lbs sets of 8

Very good pump today. Probably the most prominent since I started GP. Once again my forearm vascularity was also very apparent.

Crazy seated shoulder press lol. That's impressive.

Thanks man. When I was heavier I was doing sets at 225 for 5 easy reps. Trying to build back up to that.

WHat specifically has GP been doing for you GI wise? Giving you the runs, or stopping you up?

Notice if its helping with post meal bloat?

Regularity is the same but the aroma and texture have changed as has color.
 
Feeling the effects of yesterday's leg day as walking down the stairs this am was not easy.


Box squats 10 sets 4 sets @275lbs 5 reps per. Box set at 12"
1 leg step up w/ 55lbs dbs

Wide grip chins 4 sets bw sets of 8-12
BB rows 5 sets 2 sets t 185 for 8 and 1 set at 225lbs for 5

Overall felt strong but definitely feeling affects the day after.

Green by chance???

Notice any difference in recovery man?
 
Sore as hell from both workouts on Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday was a good chest/tri lift. Here is the rundown

Chest
flat bp: 1 set @ 315 2 reps 2 sets @ 275 5 per
Incline bp: 3 sets @ 225 sets of 6-8 (worked these on a higher incline and "to the throat")

Tris
JM Press: 2 sets @ 225 sets of 4-6
Superset 2 arm db extension: 75lbs sets of 12 superset with 55lbs sets of 12

Major burn on the superset

Notes:
Vascularity continues to be noteworthy. Body comp changes are not too noticeable, but I think taking this with a little bit more increased cardio will make a huge difference. Already did 45 mins of 12%incline treadmill this am. Since I am off this week, I might double the cardio up
 
Didn't lift yesterday. The wife had me power washing the house and desk all day. Gotta love a day off


Will hit my shoulder bi day today
 
Quick rundown for today


BTN press sets at 115 for 5 as warmup
Seated Press hit 215 for 1 and missed rep 2 badly. :(

BB curls sets at 95-115 8-10 reps per (pump was extraordinary)
Concentration curls sets at 40lbs 8 reps per

Arms were pumped and very vascular. Also did 70 mins of cardio today in 2 35 min sessions.

Stomach has certainly adjusted and I will note that even pasta or bread and no bloat. Anyone that knows my dietary history knows I struggle with being very carb sensitive and with major bloat. Those issues are nonexistent.

When you say you missed badly on the seated shoulder press, does that mean you have a big bar mark on your face? Because that's what happens to me when I miss :p

Lol. Close. I got it to eyebrow level a d then it slowly came down. :aargh:
 
Here is a little run down from the past 2 days


Wednesday:
Legs 10 sets of box squats sets of 225lbs rep range 8-10. Box set at 12". I am still suffering
Standing calf raises with same weight as squat after each set.

Back
5 sets of wide grip chins. BW for sets of 8-10
BB rows 5 sets of 185-205bs sets of no more than 5 reps
Meadow rows 4 sets with 2 25's sets of 8

Thursday:
Incline BP hit 295lbs for 2. :woohoo:
Incline flys 4 sets of 8 @ 65lbs
Flat db press 4 sets of 12 @ 75lbs

Didn't hit tris today. My daughter was home with me today so we had a little afternoon out. :)

Overall very pleased. BW is table, strength is still going well and my stomach has calmed down. Additionally, for the price point I have seen this at, it is a worthy purchase.

Awesome man! 295 incline BP you have 10lbs on me! That's big money right there brother!!!
 
Sorry for the delay. Will update this afternoon with my recent workouts and comments. Haven't been around much outside of lifting. As the summer winds down, getting the building ready before the teachers and kids are back. Always amazing how fast the summers go.
 
Ok folks...here we go

I will keep this a bit brief. These were typical workouts since Friday. I did hit 455lbs for a double doing deads on saturday, which I was thrilled with. Additionally, I hit 315lbs also for a double today on flat bench. :woohoo:

I apologize for being a little brief today, I have not been by the computer much.

I will be back with a full write up tomorrow
 
Understandable. I'm running low on time myself; just glad I work at a gym part time so I can still hit it before I start.
 
Ok...a little time to write this morning.


Just finished my am cardio/shoulder routine.

Once again my pump is excellent. Focused more today on dumbbell work as opposed to just bb.

Seated press 5 sets (185 sets of 5)
Arny presses 5 sets 60lbs sets of 8
Side laterals/rear laterals superset 30lbs sets of 8

Will be curious to get a weigh in as well. This has been an interesting product for me. My typical bloat is no existent but I feel as though clothes overall are tighter everywhere. Which is good and bad. It could be completely mental, but we will see based on a weigh in shortly.
 
Weight is up. Weighed in at 209 this am. Not sure how pleased I am with that as I try diligently to not go above 205. Will start to alter diet alittle to see if that has an impact.

Clothes are my favorite way to tell size changes man, no doubt
 
good overall workout this am

35 minutes on the treadmill at 12% incline

Decided I wanted to focus more on back today as opposed to legs.

Did work back squat to get a pump and to warm up a bit. Never went above 185

Back:
BB Good mornings (5 sets) 2 sets @ 185 5 reps per
BB Rows (8 sets) 3 sets at 185lbs 6-8 reps per
BW Wide grip chins (5 sets) sets of 8 -12

I have really enjoyed the chins at the end as a great stretch as well as final pump.

As an aside, I have begun to alter my diet a little bit as I have found that as previously mentioned, my clothes were getting tight. In some areas (back, and rear delts) this was good. However, I always get nervous when it is in the waist. I will continue to update on that as well.

As far as GP, I have begun dosing post workout prior to my shake/banana and later breakfast, as well as pre dinner.

I like this dosing protocol better, as I dont really take in much carbs throughout the day unless it was fruit. Felt that this might be a better suited scheme based on my diet.

Also, I did add in some Purple Wraath and Purple Psyko do my routine just recently for a little extra amino push as i am slowly moving away from protein shakes indefinitely

nice update brother and it seems a lot of people are moving away from protein. It's just so damn expensive, especially when whole foods can manage the job quite efficiently on their own.

Exactly. Add in at I was just in with my gastro doc yesterday and he keeps mentioning a lactose and celiac combo....it just isn't worth it to me.
 
Just finished my morning workout.


Over 40 mins of 12% inline treadmill time

Incline BP sets at 225 5-8 reps
Flat flys 65lbs sets of 8

Based in time constraints....changed up triceps into a lighter weight superset routine
JM press 8 sets nothing higher than 205 for 5
Followed by 1 arm db ext 45lbs to failure each time.

What a pump!
 
Heading out of town later today for 1 night. Will be doing a leg/back workout shortly.


Did get the opportunity to hit holders yesterday which provided a strong pump yet again

I did not do any bb work for shoulders stuck simply with DBS.

However, during bi work, I used fat grips again, and the forearm and bi pump were outrageous. Add in the vascularity being far more pronounced as well.

Since there is roughly one week left on this log I have to say that GP has been a great addition thus far. Once my stomach adjusted, it has really improved the pump aspect of my workouts.
 
Got back from NY and worked out immediately. Due to my lack of dietary control last night, I did another. 45 minutes on the treadmill.

I followed that up with a lighter and higher rep chest day. Ended up doing sets of 5-7 on flat bench with 275lbs.

Moved to incline to sets at 225lbs at 5-7 reps as well. Would like to get my bodyweight down about 5lbs, so I will be upping my cardio and reps in this last week on GP.
 
Had a good workout yesterday morning, which was followed by a 730am to 1030pm day at work. With that said, I will update the specifics a little later today. :)

As I am winding down I have been pleased with GP overall. It did take a bit of time for my stomach to adjust to it, so for those that might have the same concerns, they should be aware. However, it has consistently aided in my pump throughout my workout.

I have a few days left but again, overall pleased. I didn't see as much of a recomp as in would have liked, but outside of that it is quite solid.
 
Final review is up on the first page, second post.

Thank you guys very much!
 
Awesome final review! Thank you for logging for us man! Really great log and I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!
