In.

[apurplehaze08]

Dude its been 5 days, how are you doin? Give us an update.

[iksnoved25]

Sorry for the delay guys. Been real busy with school work, however have kept the schedule going for the most part. Just have not posted online.

]Day 3 - Shoulders and Arms[/B]
So far everythings goin good. BB Military and Seated DB military Ive already seen an increase since the summer months. Same with my Bis. This was the first shoulder/arm specific workout Ive done in a while and it was nice to get back in the gym and get everything I wanted accomplished. Tri Pulldowns I started at 6 plates then 7 then 8, which was usually less then what i was able to do, but it has been a while since Golds.

As for diet, things have been slacking on the supplements part. Meaning-I would forget to bring the Prime/APump with me when I would go to the dining halls after class. But would just take an extra one(total of 3) at the following meal to help make up for it. So far food intake has been pretty consistant. Salad with every meal - lunch and dinner, chicken breast once or twice a day, MassXXX(meal replacement) shake once or twice a day, depending on how many chicken breasts I would eat.

Unfortunately, sleep has sucked. The beds in our apartment are rock hard even with 2 of the pads on it. Ive been waking up alot in the middle of the night and not getting the quality sleep I need, even after taking Powerfull. I have been able to make up some sleep with a nap or two a day, but that needs to change as school becomes more difficult.

I went home for the weekend and dont have a gym membership, so I took Fri-Monday off in the gym and with the stack.

Tuesdays Chest workout to come in a few mins....

[iksnoved25]

Day 4-Chest workout.

Due to the holiday, I went home and took a few days off from the gym. Hit things hard on Tuesday with Chest(still sore today-Thurs- from it). Pumps were incredible with Jacked. Got two of my friends in the gym with me and they both did exactly what I did. Finally It was great to have another lifting buddy there. I gave them both Jacked and they felt jittery because it was the first time taking it. I think I felt so more energized and focus was because of having them there. It was their first time back and I felt like the "Pro", because I was bigger then them, and showing them exercises they've never done before(not to sound like a prick, but i felt good about myself).

4 sets of BB Bench, finished at 4 reps of 185
4 sets of DB Flat Bench/DB Incline supersets - finishing with 55 lb dbs.(when I started DB incline/bench near the end of the summer I was having trouble with 40 lbs.
Incline close grip DBs - finished workout with it and 40 lbs.
i did a bunch of other chest excersise, but nothing really significant to list.

I felt ripped in the gym after chest workouts. And abs were burning after I finished.

Diet is back to normal, supps going well and taking them more consistantly then before. Eating pasta, salad and chicken/beef every meal at the dining hall, and a chicken breast at home also. Calorie intake is prob around 2500-3000, which isnt bad. I notice myself getting fuller faster, and eating less, so Im trying to eat more little by little to help increase the calories I intake.

[iksnoved25]

Day 5 --Shoulders and arms.

nothing really specific to explain. Pumps are solid and its great to have somone else in the gym with you. Im kinda teaching him how its done, the way I was taught.

Military DB and BB Press are solid. BB I was doing with 80 lb BB and DBs with 45s. Preacher Curls now up to a 25 on each end compared to the 20 lbs I had on the week before. Tri Pulldown now up to 7, 8, 9 plates, which was 1 up from last week.

Things are going great. My chest today is still sore from Tuesday even with the PFull, supposed to increase recovery time. This tells me that I have a pretty solid workout goin and im loving the sore feeling.

Diet is same as above posts.

As for cardio, I have been running a solid 2 miles of HIIT after lifting. I am now going to join the Ultimate Frisbee team here at Shippensburg and that has a TON of cardio.

I feel like im getting bigger, mass wise and getting more cut. Will keep you updated better then before(Sorry everyone!!) For the rest of the week,(Today-Thurs- Rest(Frisbee practice-Cardio....Friday--Legs...Sat/Sun Rest, Starting normal routine Monday.) Will post log of legs tomorrow.

Thanks for the support!!!

Im not sure, Today was my first day and it was intense...no bulls**** when they say your running the entire time. giggidy giddgy gggod damn..

[iksnoved25]

Day 6--Back workout.

So far nothing really to discuss. Still taking supps and things are still goin great. I feel jacked working a bit more compared to the past, which I feel is because i took a few weeks off from lifting before school...so no complaints here.

Diet pretty solid, slowly increasing food intake at meals, but keep getting fuller faster. Not sure why, so if anyone's got any tips please let me know. I feel like day after day, im eating less, which I know cant happen. Skipped legs workout due to Frisbee and just running more to build up endurance. I think I am just going to run as my legs workout for a week or two.

Parents day at Ship today, so workout is gonna have to be put on hold. Routine starts up Monday.

Sounds good man, will do.

[iksnoved25]

Chest workout, Day 7

Things goin great. I had to cut down my workout a bit today because I was lifting between my final class and Frisbee practice, so was only there for about an hour and 15 mins.
Exercises:
BB Bench- 10x 145 and 155. 7x 165 6x175 4x185 I had help for the last few reps of 185 but definately got a good workout.
DB Bench/Incline supersets- 10x40, 10x45, 10x50 (last week went up to 10x55 but was feelin tired this time)
Machine Flys - 115x10, 120x10, 125x10
Close grip DB Incline- 35x10, 40x10.

Frisbee has been intense. More cardio than I would have ever thought. I actually feel thinner after practice, and get one hell of a leg workout, as well as obliques. Surprisingly mine are still sore.

[iksnoved25]

Day8 --Shoulders/Arms

Nothing really significant to discuss here. Ive upped my military press amount from last week to 45's and 50's. Tri Pulldowns Im doing 7,8, 9 plates with the occational 10th which was a big increase for me.

Day 9--Back
Intense back workout yesterday. Deadlifts killed me. I started with some pulldowns, followed by rows. then upright rows, bheiend the head military presses for the traps, Tbar, I forgot the 1 arm row which kind of pisses me off because I love the workout I get from those. did some Bent over arm raises and Finished with Deads and shrugs. I was going all out for the deadlifts, although finished with only 195x10, my hip flexor which I injured at frisbee started to hurt again so I called it quits after that.


Diet/health problem???

Diet has been off the past 2 days. Ever since Thursday night, I woke up with these sharp pains in my chest(note did not take powerfull and only one 'serving' of Apump and Prime the day before), I was not sure what it was but woke up about 3 times due to this pain. I went to the doctors on campus later in the day and she told me that I had heartburn. Ive had the one or two sharp pains before, but never has it been consistant for 2+ days. When Im not having the sharp stabbing pains in my upper abdomin(upper 2abs area), its a dull pain that is constantly there. I was wondering if anyone has anyt houghts as to what is causing this?
My friend said it is from the Jacked, which I take only 1 scoop before WO, or the protien because protein is "bad" for you, according to him...which I know is wrong, because its simply Amino Acid chains. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them. I havnt been eating as much because I get this empty/full feeling. Sometimes I feel full and dont want to eat, others I feel like im starving, its like I dont konw which is which, cant say that ive ever had this feeling before(being both full and empty at the same time).

Thanks everyone

On just PowerFULL I had to take a LOT more water than usual, and that means D U R I N G your workout as well. This completely eliminated any digestive upset, I had my episode originally when I forgot my water bottle in my car- only time I had to literally stop a workout cold! Straight to the washroom for cold tap water!!

What do you mean by your "episode"? There is a water fountain there and after EVERY set I usually go for a sip. not a big gulp because that sits in my stomach, but a sip or two and im fine. Ive been drinking alot of water, but im sure there is always room for improvement if you've had what Ive had.

[iksnoved25]

Until my stomach/chest start feeling better(still have the chest pains listed in post above), Im gonna put things on hold. Im not sure why this heartburn has been staying with me for so long. I havent taken anything(Pfull, Apump, Prime) since Tuesday, the day before it all started happening. My workouts have been strictly with jacked, no powerfull prewo.

Ill keep you updated.

I just had Stomach Discomfort in which I had to literally RUSH to get water, like something was irritating the lining of my stomach. If you are saying you have chest pains(!!) this can be either heartburn, or the start of ANGINA which has nothing to do with supplements. JUST FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND- go to a HMO or clinic and get checked out ASAP!

Thanks for the response. What did you end up having? Today Wasnt too bad, I woke up with a few chest pains, but then didnt notice much at all throughout the rest of the day. Tomorrow is my day off from lifting, but do have frisbee. Things look good to go from then on out.

Thanks again Spritz

[spritz0]

Well, if it is a cardiac problem you will notice pain if you are doing aerobic activity. My problem was not taking enough water when I took PowerFULL as it contains a herbal mix of different plant materials- USP should emphasize that all people should swallow a large glass (more than 1 cup!!) of water when taking it. That said, I hope it is just that and nothing worse... if you get pains again, go and get it checked out!!
