Shoulders/Traps
No DTH/Sunami today
Seated Hammer Strength Military Press (weight is lowered until m upper arms are parallel with the floor, more tension placed on middle delts.) Weight is per side, although this move was not performed unilaterally.
145x6 1 min. rest, 125x8, 1 min rest, 105x10, 1 min. rest, 85x12, 1 min. rest
These felt tough, had a hard time getting up the weight, a definite sign that my job is beginning to affect my lifting, as my shoulders have been getting pounded along with my back, which is sad, because I really want to build my shoulders/traps.
3 minutes moderate cardio.
Standing Barbell Shrugs To The Front
315x6 1 min. rest, 285x8, 1 min. rest, 265x10, 1 min. rest, 245x12 1 min. rest.
These were also tough to get going on, despite being motivated. I want big traps, but it’s gonna be hard getting that goal with my new job apparently. Lots of lifting heavy things way overhead, or bending over to pick up heavy things.
3 minutes moderate cardio.
Military Press Machine (cable) Full range of motion
210x6 1 min. rest, 180x8, 1 min. rest, 150x10, 1 min. rest, 130x12, 1 min. rest
Okay, to clarify, this machine uses a double pulley set-up, so no, I’m not that strong, I wish!!
3 minutes moderate cardio.
Standing Barbell Shrugs To The Back
335x6, 1 min. rest, 315x8, 1 min. rest, 285x10, 1 min. rest, 265x12, 1 min. rest
These were easier, I’m always stronger on these regardless of when I perform them. I get decnt range of motion with them, when my fat butt isn’t getting in the way.
3 minutes moderate cardio.
Looked outside, saw how nuts town is getting (State College, PA., homecoming weekend), talk to a few regulars about how many problems there will be tonight (hopefully none).
10 minutes HIIT cardio.
Workout Notes
Shoulder workouts along with back ones have definitely gotten harder since starting my new job, even though I’ve been there for a little over a month. People there just laugh when I tell them I’ve gotta work out, since the running joke is I’m already getting paid to work out. Especially my front delts, they are getting thrashed, should be a real joy when the second part of my workout hits, which is isolation type moves. Didn’t get quite as good a pump today, took 1.5 scoops of JP8 since I’m not using DTH/Sunami today. Recovery was still good, though.
Other Notes
Not much to report here, feel pretty much the same as when I was on the stack, which is cool. Everything is still a touch bit elevated, no worries there. Goes with the territory. Tomorrow, I will be starting a stack that Chuck recommends, you can check it out here: Invalid Link Removed
Not sure how I will react to it, since 2 each per day definitely did it for me, and 2 DTH had me getting pretty aggressive towards the end there (6 days), wanting to rip faces off. Okay, comparison time, and I’m being totally fair here, and I mean no disrespect to any companies, reps or owners here, just stating the facts. I said I wanted to compare this stack to the Activate Extreme/Lean Extreme stack, so here goes. This stack has had more immediate results than the AX/LX stack, which took about 2 weeks to kick in. Both made me lethargic, the AX/LX did it after the first week, this stack did it in less time around day 4, and both cases felt the same. This stack makes me hungry now, as opposed to the AX/LX stack, which bumped my appetite after week 2 big time. Lost weight on that stack for the first 2 weeks as well, but in all fairness, there are more ingredients geared towards that in the AX/ LX stack than this one, so that’s not a fair comparison, but I just wanted to state results. This stack definitely ahs the mood advantage, although, there are ingredients in this stack which contribute more towards that than the AX/LX stack, so again, that could be viewed as unfair, but I’m just stating results here. DTH/ Sunami also gets the nod in the Alpha Male feeling department, never experienced that on the AX/LX stack. DTH/Sunami also appears to be more cost effective, when you factor in that I don’t think I need more than 3DTH/2Sunami per day, versus 6AX/3LX per day, plus, DTH/Sunami makes all my preworkout and other supps perform way better with a lower dose. Now, I did only take 4AX/2LX per day, but if I had it to do again, I would do the above. I would like to say that this stack is my preferred one, so far, the results speak for themselves. I feel this stack would be even more nuts if I added Lean Extreme to it as well, I feel that honestly nothing would even come close, and that it would offer the best option for lean bulking, but that’s just my opinion. I respond very well to forskolin, which is in Lean Extreme. In no way am I knocking either company, just plainly stating the facts here. Both got/are getting me results, just this stack is getting me there faster in addition to the above mentioned points. I have no problems currently recommending this stack over the AX/LX stack, but I also have no problems recommending the AX/LX stack for someone that doesn’t need the above benefits from the DTH/Sunami stack, so take it for what it’s worth. With the new dosing schedule, not sure how I will respond, worried that I might feel too aggressive, if that’s possible for me. As long as I don’t get asked any stupid questions like “Where is the ANY key” or “Is this service free?” I should be okay. My favorite is when someone turns off the anti-virus because it makes their computer “Slow”, then they catch a virus and it runs slow anyways, if it even runs at all. How’s that workin out for ya chief? Anyways, wish me luck, and the Penn State football team is well, I think we just might take Michigan this time!!
