You're silly... I'm not letting Gore out of my sight ha. Richardson is def available but theres really not much I need from your team that wouldnt be a lopsided trade in my favor.
 
Today did some power chest, and tested my 1RM with no spot on bench.

Very happy I got 240 clean, and attempted 245, but didn't hit depth and needed a spot. Didn't take enough rest in between.

So far for 138 lbs sitting at 295/240/? for S/B/D. Finished my benching with resistance band bench presses for max velocity, and my chest is going to be pretty sore tomorrow I bet. Finally starting to look fuller, and I even feel leaner because of it.

Pyramid Bench: 185x4 225x1 240x1 245x.5 (don't count, spotter helped and don't think I hit depth) Resistance Band--> 135x10 x10 x10 95x15

4x8 Triceps SA Cable Negatives: 15x8 20x8 25x7 20x8
w/ RB PD: x7 x9 x8

Magnitropin times comes Tuesday!!!!
 
Random thought:

Not a good idea to replace carb rich meals with calorically dense salads. My arse went down like 6 pounds and flattened out so much. Back to potatoes and bread for me.
 
Off day today... Feel like I need it too as focus in the gym yesterday was just off. Weights felt good but my head was just all over the place which is really odd for me. Doing some misc errands including chopping a ton of firewood like a MAN ha. Getting my Paul Bunyan on for sure.
 
Did pull power, really was feeling it after maxing out two days in a row. Tomorrow is a much needed CNS rest day and I'll be heading to Vegas for the O!!! So excited

Will upload my pull of 315 (like butter) and of 385. I was content with 385, could have went higher but I want better form. My elbow has been bothering me as of late as well, so upping the joint support. That stupid Tommy John Surgery is always rearing it's ugly ass head
 
Here's a question for you guys: if you're taking orange triad (which had digestive complex) do you still take gut health too?

Yup. The digestion complex doesn't contain probiotics. Digestive enzymes and probiotics are 2 different types of products as well.
 
Yeah, its been a staple for years; however, I'm currently using Primal Defense Ultra. It's expensive, but a very solid product.

me too! sharing is caring haha

That's insane about the layovers... never heard of that many legs to a trip. I usually only have 1 at most; try to get straight there if I can so i can sleep the whole way ha.
 
Woke up STARVING this morning as I didn't eat much last night (just wasn't feeling it and it was an off day so no real need)... Decided to try my first sample dose of PES Norcodrene to see what the hype is about. Just 1 cap upon waking.Here's my notes:

-Woke up starving... stomach grumbling, etc. Didn't notice anything right away but as I type (about 3 hrs after dosing) I'm feeling much less hungry. More of a mental block to the hunger. Still have that empty stomach feeling but not the pangs that I had upon waking. It took at least 1.5hr for the initial pangs to subside though.
-No noticeable heat/thermo thus far. It''s achilly morning here so i had hoped I would get a little of this but so far no luck. I'll keep an eye out for this alter.
-Focus and alertness is growing over the last hour and a half or so.
-Energy has been slowly climbing since about 1hr past dosing.

Initial impressions: Very slow to kick in. Seemed to take almost an hour or slightly longer before I felt much of anything. Since it started, however, energy, focus, mood, and appetite suppression have all been steadily increasing. Still nothing on the thermo front but I've seen a lot of comments about this coming on far later after dosing or even with meals. I will be having my first meal at 9am and will see how things feel after that.

Lunchtime Update: About 12pm I got REALLY hot ha. Walked into the bathroom and saw that my face was quite flushed and my cheeks very rosy. As I type this Im sweating eating my bowl of Select proats ha. Energy is still very high. Color me impressed with just one cap.
 
Had some really good lifting sessions over the weekend (legs/push/pull power) all with the main lift of each being 8x2... I now know what Swol was talking about as yesterday when i was doing my deadlifts I could feel my CNS basically just melting. really brutal. Probabaly gonna change up the layout like I had proposed earlier to mosve the days around and not have 3 powers together to fry me.

Started Gut Health saturday and that night I had some of the worst gas/cramping that I've had in a long time. literally had to force feed the last of my calories in one giant shake ha. Got em in though and thats what counts.

had a bit of cramping/gas last night as well and a huge mess first thing this morning... Anyone else experience this during the 5 day loading of gut health? nothing else has changed in my diet the last few days so I figure it has to be that.
 
Went to the renaissance fair yesterday to see all the crazy people. They did not disappoint:

Also had my buddies little boy (2yrs) running around with a giant turkey leg screaming "I'm a man" and then eating huge chunks ha. It was great.
 
Bumped calories up again by another 100 for a total of 2400. Weight is sitting fairly stable so things are going well. I may not bump next week but stop counting veggies and fish oil pills to even things out and make my life easier ha

Just used them! Workout was great now time to eat. But they fit perfectly. I've never lifted this late feels weird

I hate getting off my schedule... totally throws me into a headspin. I've been all over the place with my stuff lately (especially meals) and it's driving me nuts. All I want is a nice, easy, scheduled day; full of gym, food, and football ha. I told my gf last night that since I have yet to have a sunday to myself that this week I was claiming the whole weekend as "me time" and watching football, hunting, lifting, and eating. Not one thing else.
 
haha gotta do what you gotta do bro. i've been uber busy as well, between two jobs, and other thangs.

and my dolphins... we suck wang
 
Had a great workout today, decided Oct 1st will be day one of Magnitropin woot. Got a little bit of water retention from Vegas still over my abs but its all good, should even out a dissipate shortly. Had a great time and enjoyed myself. Changing my routine a bit, to really maximize hypertrophy. I plan on doing only two power days, upper/lower, then rest and then hypertrophy with one day dedicated to my weakpoints: Arms, back, rear delts.

So today was upper power, and man it was tough. Hit a 5 rep PR on Bench so I'm happy, also a 6 rep PR on DB Dead stop row. Also felt much much better hit full ROM of shoulder press, didn't bother my elbow much. Pretty gassed after this workout, but getting a massage tomorrow and then just working for the day

Weight: 139.8

Back to my normal weight of 138.8 so we'll see how Magnitropin treats me! Probably go with 2-3 bottles straight
Click to expand...

I'll be really interested to see what benefits there are past the first bottle. I loved my one so I can only imagine more is better ;)
 
Wow. So I got to go Derek Jeters last home game. Was absolutely unreal. Filmed the game winning hit and everything. Insane moment
 
From Jeter's last home game... unreal moment. Goosebumps for days

[video=youtube;AGxpy33gNJI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGxpy33gNJI&feature=youtu.be[/video]
 
You couldn't have written that ending if you wanted to. Just unreal how things like that can work out. Thats the kind of moment you tell grandkids about and get to say "I was there".
 
out of all the professional athletes Jeter was a great role model for the youth around the world for sure. all his skeletons were mainly kept under raps for sure
 
No doubt. Literally I was in shock for like 15 minutes. Couldn't believe it. I almost was gonna go nuts cause Girardi didn't take him out in the ninth so he can get an oovation, but it all worked out. Lol its surreal really
 
Had an awesome lift today. weight was surprisingly low, and i'm sweating like a mofo all the time.

Weight: 136.6

Legs Hyper

5x8 Squats: 185x8 x8 175x8 165x8 x8 135x12
