Day 27: Shoulders

Weight: 176 (+2)

Notes:
Shoulder is in some pain!

Workout:
Went pretty good today. My shoulder was huring a lot from hitting those 120 db the other day for incline. So i decided to take it a little easy on the presses. I flew through the workout with very little to no rest between sets and had an awsome pump. Last time i did this i got extremley sore so im hoping i will be really sore tomorrow.

Overall:
Great workout. Im sure im going to be sore tomorrow as my back was pumped to hell and back. I also got a great compliment today (well actually 2) There is a guy in the gym who is pretty much known as the best built guy (at least upper body wise). Anyways i was talking to a girl and told her that i wanted to look like this guy. She said that she thought we were brothers or something because we were both built the same. She also told me that i was almost as big as him if not bigger. I personally think i have a long way to go to catch up with him but i really could not have got a better compliment! The second was from a cop who is built really well and he told me that he wishes he could have the V i have in my back. These two compliments made me feel really good today. It always is nice when someone notices your hard work.

Day 29: Chest (kinda)

Weight: 178 (+4)

Notes:
lethargy

Workout:
Well today was a really stange day. I have been a little stressed/depressed due to my best friend at work leaving. Today it really hit me at its his last day. I tried to do chest today and my shoulder was killing. I couldnt even get the 80s up for incline bc it hurt so bad. Those 120s last workout really set me back. Anyways, the combo of being stessed/depressed and my shoulder really bumbed me out in the gym. I tried to do some sets but just felt like crap and left early.

Weight: 178 (+4)

Notes:
nothing new

Very excited about keeping the weight up from yesterday. That puts me at +4 lbs for the cycle which i think is pretty good. Also i was really excited when i took measurements of my arms tonight. I was at 16.75 for the left and 16.75 for the right. That means i put .25 on the left and .75 on the right...and finally my right is the same size as the left! I will give the full reveiw tomorrow and pics either tomorrow or the following day.

SIDES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN JW ALONE AND THE EVO STACK
Jungle Warfare
increased libido
Moderate increase in acne
Strength gains in week 3
No increase in thirst
mild lethargy
Greatly increased need for and quality of sleep
Increased DOMS

Evolution stack
No increase in libido
slight increase in acne
HUGE increase in thirst
strength gains in week 2
Less mild lethargy
Nothing differnt as far as sleep patterns
Increased DOMS (same as JW solo)

*The biggest difference i noticed is that the strength gains come on faster and hit you really hard. For example, with the JW stack i put on 50 lbs on squats in 8 weeks. With the evo stack i put on 40 lbs on squats in 4 weeks.*


PERSONAL RECORDS(before and after)
*Note that i didnt break many of my chest records due to my shoulder set back. However, im sure if my shoulder wasnt an issue i would have smashed those records. I think its pretty impressive that i actually made it back to where i was prior to injury in such a short time.

Flat bench BB: 275 x 6, 325 x 1 ---> 275 x 6 (tied it)
Flat bench DB: 115 x 5, 120 x 3 ---> 115 x 5 (tied)
Incline DB: 120 x 4 ---> 120 x 3 (pretty close)
Shrugs DB: 130 x 7 ---> 130 x 15
Single arm DB rows: 130 x 7 ---> 130 x 12
Deadlifts: 315 x 6, 365 x 1 --->315 x 6, 365 x 2
Squats: 410 x 6 ---> 450 x 6 WAAA WHOOO!


MEASUREMENTS
Before/After
Weight: 174 ---> 178
Chest: 45.5 ---> 45.75 (+.25)
Shoulders: 49.5 ---> 51.25 (+1.75)
Left Bicept: 16.5 ---> 16.75 (+.25)
Right Bicept: 16 ---> 16.75 (+.75)

Dont have before shots for these but heres a couple more just for fun!

RATINGS
STRENGTH: 10/10 I couldn't be happier with the strength gains. For me to come back to where i was proir to my shoulder injury in such a short time was amazing. I killed almost all of my PRs that didnt directly invole my shouler. I am really happy with my gains on legs!
SIDES: 8/10 The sides arent bad, the biggest downfall was the lethargy. Its managable though.
SIZE: 8/10 Very happy with lower body gains, would like to see more upper body gains though.
OVERALL: 9/10 AWESOME STACK! i would recommend it to anyone. Even though i didnt gain 15 lbs like some people, i had amazing strength gains and just felt overall more confident. I also put 4 lbs of muscle on (at least i feel like most of it is muscle)


FINAL REVIEW
Im very glad i was able to try this stack. I really believe this is one of the best stacks out there. I havent tried everything by any means but from what ive tried this is the best. Anyone would be happy with these products.


*Thanks to everyone for following! you guys and gals have made it very fun and easy.*

Hey Steve
My Name is Ben. I'm fourteen and I'm just starting out weight lifting. I am wicked small and from the looks of my dad and grandfather I have a bad feeling I am going to stay small Is it possible to get built like someone like you naturally? and do you have any workout plans or something because when I am at the gym I feel like I have no clue what I am doing

Hey Ben, anything is doable. You can do it naturally. Focus on your diet mostly. You are only 14 so you have plenty of time to grow. Just dont get discuraged, it takes a long time. Its marathon, not a sprint.
