TGR's Modified PowerBuilding v2.0

Absolutely. I find the supersets are sometimes better than an increase in weight. The intensity a superset provides is great.
 
Doing some outside chores before the rain hits, then I plan to try and catch up on your logs. Been reading some over the weekend but not much to add to the discussion. Most of you guys are way ahead of me in knowledge, so I don't always chime in just for the hell of it.
 
Yeah, I've used the stimul8 before from when it was first released.


Snags let me log it before it had a real label on it lol.


It's good stuff, a little strong for me since I don't usually use stims outside of meet prep.

Half scoop today was perfect, because I'm dog tired on Sundays trying to get my training in.

I went in with just under a scoop, my norm, and taking most of two weeks off it was a bit much. I swear my butt off.

There is a warehouse on the other side of town that purchases used gym equipment from commercial gyms and refurbishes them. Place is loaded with equipment that is outdated. Will probably go this route on many items.

Wish there was something up here like that - even just for more plates.

There has to be, somewhere. The gym equipment can't disappear. I bet some gyms have crap in the back they don't know what to do with.
 
I have the pill version.
Sadly, stimulate gives me arrhythmia even at 1 pill -but my son loves it, taking only one pre-workout.
I wish I could take it too, switched again to my matcha green tea instead.
 
Speaking of used equipment, I went to a used equipment store yesterday (not the one I previously mentioned) to get some small weights for the shoulderok and dude is still painting his barbells in a thick coat of semi-gloss. I said something to the owner the last time I was there and he said he bought it that way. There were 4-5 black painted ones. I made a comment that it sucked because it made them to slick. When I was there recently he had switched to a silver paint. Might as well be a stripper bar, it was so slick.

That's no good. Some people just don't respond well to it.

I took mesomorph (sample) a while back and it did me similar. I couldn't wait for it to wear off.

I tend to feel people do put too much in progressive overload/strength.

Obviously its needed BUT you can also hypertrophy from increased intensity, increased volume, increased frequency, or an overall increase in TUT. Many ways to grow that don't just involve mechanical stressors (metabolic and cell swelling.)

It's a two car garage, approximately 18x28 of useable space.

I currently don't have a ceiling in there. I think I could fit most racks, but can only ohp while standing if I don't put in a ceiling (and make sure I stand under the beams properly).

I'm still tempted to build my own rack.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with the Stimul8. My wife isn't a fan, but a full cup of coffee is too strong for her.

18 x 28 is more than enough! Eventually, you could fit a really sweet gym in that kind of space.


For reference, mine is only 12x16 lol.
 
Looks like you are on your way to a nice home gym. You can use as much chalk as you want and take video with out complaints.
 
Slept horribly. No gym.
 
Sh--y buddy. Rest up and kick butt tomorrow.

I'll go give it a look. I think some is diet related, and my BP has been elevated recently. Thanks D.
 
Check your resting HR. Is it elevated?
 
day light savings time? i got up for an early workout today and although i managed to have a good one, my sleep was pretty rough. i don't commit to waking that early everyday so it was hard enough to fall asleep early before we "sprung ahead."

I'll have to do this after work.

Possibly a contributing factor. Didn't really think about it.
 
Actually, check your resting HR as soon as you wake while still in bed. It only takes a minute. Keep track of it and when it's elevated then consider a rest day or light day.

Yeah HRV is a great tool to see if you may be overtrained. There are lots of apps that will use a heart rate strap to gauge your heart rate variability to determine training effects.
 
And if you monitor your HR as well as body temp it can help you know when you're ovulating, Thomas. The more you know...

I know I'm in heat when you blow my phone up.
 
Man, I packaged some of the CLEAR PROTEIN up today, and to be honest I'm excited to try the strawberry based on smell. I've never liked strawberry anything.

Track it with blood hounds, an ear to the ground, and doing inappropriate things to beavers again?

Everything was belt-less.

Sleeve-less squats suck.

I meant to do planks after all the discussion in your threads, but I forgot.
 
Yeah I need sleeves for squats any more lol. You can do planks whenever, off day, upper day, doesn't matter, just do em.
