Yes! I was a big fan, tests your will to workout.

Picked up some of those quest bars you're talking a out. Figured I'd try some before I went to the Arnold incase there's a sweet deal & I can stock up.

I'm about to destroy my chest.

Nice. What flavors did you grab? I heard the new cookie dough is amazing, but haven't tried it yet. Have fun at the Arnold...I'm jealous.
 
The lemon and applie pie quest bars are my favorite that I've tried. Cookie dough sounds good too! I was disappointed with the strawberry cheesecake, the fudge brownie, pb&j, etc.

I got PB & Jelly, Peanut Butter Supreme, Choc PB & Lemon pie.

Can you tell I have an obsession with PB? Lol

I bought some for my buddies GF to try (3 of us are going) and in buying I totally forgot about her peanut allergy so I feel like a d!ck. I'll see if thy have the cookie doe before I leave. Any you suggest?

I actually love the pb&j. Mixed berry bliss, vanilla almond crunch, cinnamon roll, and banana nut muffin are my other favorites. I've probably been through close to 100 boxes of Quest bars lol.

Ha. PB supreme and choc PB are towards the bottom of my list, but there isn't a flavor I dislike.

For my favorites see my above post :)

Forgot about the vanilla almond crunch, been through about 5 boxes of those, so a little tired of them now lol, but the flavor it solid. Cinnamon roll, I guess I was expecting too much. Haven't tried banana nut muffin tho...they sound good haha.

Cinnamon roll is one that's a lot better after 10-15 seconds in the microwave. A bunch of them are better that way, although I rarely heat them up.
 
Another good move is heating up a pb supreme and a banana nut, then twisting them together.
 
Ooo, I'll have to try that....especially since most quest bars I pick up are typically pretty stiff.

Yeah, their consistency varies depending on the flavor...and sometimes where you get them from.
 
Day 58

Phase 3 is proving to be a great time. The workouts aren't very long, but whatever muscle I'm working is toast by the time I finish (if not before). I hit the gym earlier today and beat my chest to death.

I'm pretty sure I reached a new high for the amount of supplements I've used pre-workout. I got a couple days head start on my next stack and added Test Powder, AB, and X-Factor (+GlycerGrow) to what I've been using.

I'll have a workout/supp update posted later today.
 
breezy11 said:
Yeah, they really sneak up on you. How much weight did you try them with?
Click to expand...

Used it as a finisher so I tried it with ~12lbs to see how i'd do. At that point it was all I needed haha

Yeah, that's plenty. I haven't gone over 15lbs (and probably couldn't).

Thanks wasme. I'm not sure if I should end this log when I finish everything else or just keep it going. Maybe I'll relocate to the training forum next week.

Regardless of where you keep it... don't stop logging bro.

Ha thanks. That's why I was thinking the move might be a good idea. I wouldn't have to keep starting new logs.
 
wasme said:
Do you dose the Powerfull at bedtime? or throughout the day as I have also seen?
Click to expand...

I've used it pre-workout before, but usually just stick to pre bed. I'll have L-dopa from TP pre-workout as well. I'm looking forward to some quality sleep.

I gotta try those twist presses. Your supps are thru the roof now man! Damn!
Click to expand...

You can get a really good contraction with the twist. Haha yeah they are. It'll be cut down in a couple days. I just got a little head start on my next stack.
 
The twist presses are a good alternative, I used them on my chest day after watching MD videos.

I think I created my own movement today; a hybrid between JM presses and Close Grip bench completely destroyed my triceps. I normally get sore wrists and elbows during JM presses so I decided to split the movement in half, doing the first half on the JM press (lowering to the face) then rotating the bar into a close grip bench, tucked my elbows and drove the bar upwards. Never felt a burn like that before. Jiigzz press? haha
 
Is this how u do the prone shrugs?

You can take a serving (1-2 caps pre workout) and another serving before bed. Avoid any carbs at least 45mins-1 hour before any PowerFULL serving as insulin and GH cannot coexist.

I like to prop the bench up using a 45lb plate for a slight incline. I actually did that yesterday, but forgot to mention it.

Haha Jiigzz press has a nice ring to it, but Meadows might've beat you to it.

This is from his article on tnation and sounds similar to what you're describing:

"EZ bar close grip press -4 sets of 8. Lower these slowly, down more towards your chin instead of resting on your chest. It's a sort of twisted version of the Westside staple, the JM press. You can't use a ton of weight, but the isolation and pounding your triceps receive will do the requisite damage."

Correct.
 
Maybe I'm a slowhead but I don't understand what kind of bench he's sitting on? Could you do these bent over instead of sitting? Is he on an incline bench? If so that is the shortest back rest I've ever seen lol
 
Danb2285 said:

Click to expand...

You could but its easier just to get on an incline bench to do it. There are tons of ways to do "shrugs" beyond the typical standing variation to hit the back in ways not usually targeted. Don't have to do it up against the rack either (although I love that way) and you can do it with DBs/KBs/etc.

Haha I just use a regular incline bench and It works great. My gym doesn't have what he's using. You could try something similar while standing, but I like the support of a bench.
 
Sounds similar, but is it one movement or two? Mines more two movements as my elbows tend to get sore doing JM press so I did the lowering part then moved it into a CG bench. Took the strain out for me but hit them insanely hard.

I've been making it more one movement, although I haven't seen a demonstration of it. Looks like the "Jiigzz Press" still stands.
 
Day 59

I weighed 218lbs (+4lbs from day 1) this morning. I didn't expect to see an increase based on my caloric intake, but think the addition of GlycerGrow could possibly have me holding some extra water.

My mood and mental/physical energy continue to be great.

DOMS in my chest is probably stronger than it's been this entire run.

I had an all out assault on my arms this morning. I only performed 4 exercises, but it was more than enough. Intensity techniques/supersets/dropsets were used throughout my routine. This resulted in a serious pump and had my vascularity very prominent as well. My focus continued to be great per usual.

55x10, 40x7

HS Preacher Curl (single arm/forceful contraction/3sec negative)
50x10, x5 assisted
60x6, x6 assisted
60x6, x6 assisted, 25x10


Seated Overhead Rope Extension (big stretch/2sec squeeze/4sec negative)
120x12
140x8
140x8, 80x8


I thought about adding Crazy 8's, but my arms were dead, and I want to up the intensity next week.



Tomorrow will most likely be a day off from the gym.
 
Chest DOMS is actually a lot worse than it's been and increasing at a decent pace.
 
Lol I had some nasty chest doms last week. Nice arm day broham

Thanks boss. I haven't felt chest DOMS like this in a long time. Phase 2 was tough, but all high intensity sets is ridiculous lol. I love it!

Crazy DOMS! Good stuff man, that ArA probably will make it worse.

I'm looking forward to the re release of X-gels, interested in your results bc it'll help me plan my run :-D

Thanks ched.

Craze does.

And U take that on workout days only ?

I'm reexamining my creatine situation was taking 5 caps mcc on training days and 4 on off days..but my legs were getting too big! currently taking 4 caps everyday but thinking maybe should move to workout days only and increase the caps? I need my legs to shrink lol

It's intense lol. Yeah, that's been my experience in the past with ArA.

I got some X-Gels right when they were released the first time and had a 6 bottle run (bought 3/compensated 3). It was kind of a pain taking 20 of them pre-workout, but I enjoyed it lol.

I'll probably end this log soon and relocate in the training forum. I'll be done with C20 tomorrow and I'm stopping V-1 after I try it a few times with Enhanced. I'm almost out of forskolin as well.

Yeah, I haven't been taking creatine consistently for the last month. I have a big tub of SAN mono that I'll start back up soon.

Haha. As far as I'm concerned, my legs can't get big enough. I don't know how much cutting back on creatine will "shrink your legs", but think you could probably stick to workout days once saturation is reached.
