That sounds pretty good! Looking forward to trying out the sample too, thanks bro!

[Jaberwaki]

Samples? Of something blue icee flavor? I have no pm bout that

[velocityrob]

So a little discussion was taking place over in fitmember's log-
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...9958521&page=2

I think I'll adopt this new MethyMass dosing protocol:
1 scoop on off days, 2 scoops before training.

You need to come to KC my man so we can train together one time.

I was there once, had Army Reserve duty at Ft Leavenworth. KC was our big weekend trip.
LOL- where were you in 1995?

What can I say, I'm a man of my word.

excited to see how two scoops goes for you, i prefer one, but my stim tolerance is low.

[velocityrob]

Dosed Plasmatic 60 minutes preWO
2 scoops MethylMass about 20 minutes pre

Upright rows-
EZ curl bar with 17.5 on each side. Probably weight- 55lbs
10 x 10 with good form and timing.
I'll go heavier next week.


Triple add sets:
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/betteru43.htm
Cliffs: pick the right weight you can lift the target number of reps, and as fast as possible move the next heavier weight.
Perform 20-30 reps
Perform 6-8
Perform 1-3.
Goal here is to totally fatigue all types of muscle fiber in a given body part.

Bicep curls-
EZ curl bar, narrow grip
50lbs x 22 80 x 6 100 x 2.

Second set, normal shoulder-width grip
50 x 21 80 x 2. Done.

I had the radio playing in the gym. This came on in time to nail the curls:


Product notes:
Cotton Candy does not even taste like a supplement. Its more like KoolAid. I gotta get a hold of the Pink Lemonade flavor they have coming.
I had great, wonderful energy for this workout. I was honestly 'in a rage'. Its was great.
Sweat like a Texas flood. I was dripping on the floor after those upright rows. Again- it felt great.

[bowskie69]

Looking good in hear! I can't wait to get my cotton candy MM

[kingjameskjf]

Not bad! I've never heard of Sick Puppies before.

[SwolenONE]

Rob, you echo exactly my thoughts on this product.

Ive NEVER used another supp that compares with the aggression. Also, it may be the best tasting preWO supp out there, I do believe the pink lemonade will top it though.

Each new flavor of Methyl Mass has truly outdone the predecessor and then some.

[velocityrob]

Dosage:
Plasmatic 1 hour prior, 2 scoops of MethylMass 30 prior. Right on schedule.

Cardio-
Elliptical machine for 1 mile. Took me 10:25, a minute faster than last time.
About halfway thru, this came on the MP3-

Not the hardest song ever, but it did the trick and got me MOVING. Or maybe that was when the MethylMass kicked in.
Either way- my cardio went from 'phoning it in' to 'BRING IT'.

Chest- warm up-
Flat BB bench-
135 x 15, 10

Flat DB bench-
75 x 8 85 x 7 95 x 5 (failed trying for 6)
Front delts were sore doing this. At this point I could tell I was not 100% today.

Incline BB bench-
135 x 10 165 x 8 185 x 6

Hammer Inc press-
Drop set. 70 x 8 50 x 4 40 x 4 30 x 5.

Seated Arnold presses-
35 x 9 40 x 8 45 x 8
First set felt heavy. It took me a bit to find my form. And, I lost it on last set (sloppy).

Seated BB Shoulder press-
Ooooh. I have not the freeweight version for a while. The Smith machine has made me weak. I'm not even gonna post my numbers.
But I will do this again next week (When I find a problem, I wanna fix it).

EZ bar OH extensions-
70 x 4 ouch.
60 x 8, 5

Rope pressdowns-
42.5 x 7, 7


Notes-
Good workout. I took my time between most sets. Form was mostly good, strength was average.
I felt great: good motivation, mood and focus.
Pump was great. Even wearing a tight undershirt I felt swole as hell.
T-booster effects of MethylMass are building.

Body weight update.
I started this log at 278.
Monday after Halloween I was 281. Too much booze and BS food.
Now I'm down to 276, been there for 3 days.
It'd be nice if my lifts stayed steady and that weight kept dropping. We'll see.

[kingjameskjf]

Nice song selection! Good to see you're getting such good pumps

good job, im sure you can maintain, if not slightly gain strength while steadily dropping a few pounds.

the workouts are looking great

Now we're talking! I would kill for some motivation and focus at this point.

Shoot I thought we were bulking to 300lbs

Wel that is what I am doing right now. 260lbs down, 40 lbs to go!!! TIME TO EAT!!!!

I feel like I'm at the end of a 5 year dirty bulk as it is. Well, I hope its the end.

[velocityrob]

Dosage was right according to plan: Plasmatic 1 hour prior, 2 full scoops of MethylMass 30 prior.

Cardio:
6 minutes on treadmill to warm up for the elliptical. Got my mile in 9:34. (PR! lol)

Workout:
Squats-
135 x 8 185 x 8 225 x 6, 8

Deadlifts-
195 x 10 245 x 8 295 x 6

Couple sets of light BB shrugs.

Machine legpress-
250 x 10 300 x 10
A couple was camped out on the conventional legpress. I subbed the machine, it did NOT feel good.



My knees felt a mess after the leg presses. I cooled down with about 6 minutes on a recumbent bike.

Tunes:
MP3 player is always on random. I had Metallica for squats (Disposable Heroes and Breadfan), and this for my heavy deads:

Notes:
Cardio took away a lot of my mojo. I was plenty strong for my lifts, but not overly energized. I felt I could go heavier on squats and deads; maybe next week. I'm reeeeal careful on these movements (I'm old and fragile )

[SwolenONE]

^^^^

shouldnt you be in bed old man?

srsly though, how long did it take you after the hernia op before you were squatting and DLing again. Also, are you as strong on those now (7 months post op if I recall correctly) as you were prior to surgery.

Roughly- it was about 10 weeks post OP till I tried anything lower body.
My deads are very close to where I was, just a few reps short with the same weight. Squats still bother me the most, I feel a pull in the incision area. I'm about 20% off the old weight.

[velocityrob]

Turns out I had an EST shaker in my supp pantry.

this=me crying

I used to be all about the PL type lifting, I never cared much for doing more than a few reps.

O well, wish I would have gotten it taken care of sooner, I had it for yrs.

that is impressive....that is one of those things I would tend to baby for a long while.

I played the hernia card for quite a while. One day I said 'F it' and stopped letting it be an excuse.

But I'm careful: I move up in weights very slowly and I'm not ashamed to use my weight belt a LOT.

[velocityrob]

Dosage- new idea here. I wanted to stagger the stims, hoping for better duration and intensity during the workout.
I took 3 Plasmatic caps and 1 scoop of MethylMass 40 minutes preWO, and again 20 minutes later (20 minutes preWO).

Cardio:
10 minutes on the treadmill, easy pace.

Workout:
BO DB rows-
warmup-
60 x 10
65 x 8
working sets-
75 x 8
90 x 8
110 x 7

I took a break, went back on the treadmill for a few minutes.

Yates rows-
135 x 8
155 x 8
175 x 6

Wide grip latbar pulldowns-
120 x 10
140 x 8
160 x 8
180 x 6
I didn't worry about holding the contractions this time, I just used normal pacing.

Hammer Iso row- weight listed for each arm
90 x 9
135 x 9
160 x 6
Normal hammer machine, loaded with plates, not a pin selector.

Farmers walk with DBs
75s for 5 steps
85s for about 35 steps, 2 sets.


Notes:
Staggering the Plasmatic and MethylMass seemed to work well. I had good energy, focus and aggression the whole workout. I'm very happy with this routine and my numbers. Pretty good Monday.

Note- I got to the gym about 7:30PM, Monday night. Gym was busy with...a lot of goofballs. I could make 10 posts in the "THAT GUY at the gym" thread.

[TheUnderdog]

speaking of goof balls i had a guy in our gym today incline bench pressing 595...1 rep but still....he then dropped it to 405x7-8

I looked at my 165x8 and felt VERY small.
