f*ck yeah!! bringin the sexy shhhh!!!

That's how we do BIG L!!

[Scivation]

So vanilla solution 5 is pretty much an orgasm in my mouth (no homo)

There is nuthin homo about the Solution 5 money shot!

[Scivation]

kay I DEFINITELY got a bad batch! Because nobody has said "odd egg-yolk flavor" yet to decribe it.

I just took a few days off in February, and as Marc described on FB, the signs of overtraining, but the biggest one was "lack of motivation" because the last few sessions not only have my workouts not been so great but I feel like I'd rather curl up in a ball and cry when I am about to go (I still trudge all the way through though and lift until failure so I know I'm trying hella hard anyway). But maybe I'm just being a wimp?
Anyone else have that problem, not knowing whether they are just being a pussy or really need a deload?
(I am not asking for a 3-page avalanche of advice and lecturing like USUAL just some sharing between members of how to cope with being tired a lot and motivation and how often they deload and stuff :] THought I'd get the ball rolling)

First off, there is only ONE batch of Solution 5 vanilla, so it isn't a bad batch. Try it again. It could have just been something that you ingested prior. Bad batches don't exist here. Our QC is too stringent.

Second, you will NOT overtrain if you actually listen to Derek, eat all of your meals, and stop stressing. Then you will be fine.

And yes, that is a stern lecture.

[Scivation]

I should try that My gym closes midway through the week (finals) and then I gotta switch gyms. Diet has been MUCH more consistant the last two weeks, it's more just feeling like sleeping all the time and having no ability to explode during lifts. Definitely a bit depressed, haven't felt like sketching/drawing or hanging out with other people or doing stuff lately.

Marc, I have a direct question: PL pal (I have several) says that how I'm lifting (slowly, until I can't, to feel mind-muscle connection a bit better usually) is great for staying lean, but not for growing, in which you go really super fast through the motion and then stop when it starts to get hard is the way to grow. Something about type A/type B muscles. What does he mean by this, and is there any merit to it? (yes I google'd already)

Studies do show that an explosive lift recruits and stresses more fibers, but one being for growth and one for staying lean is brolore and BS. Your "PL" buddies are starting ti sound like mal-informed, pompous assclowns.

Muscle grows from overload and the principles laid out in our Tri-Phase program.

And yes, I think you're overtrained.

[Scivation]

Hey Marc, before a show do you think it would be a bad idea to hit up the sauna/tanning bed the day of or the day before a show. I just know whenever i step out of the tanning bed my vascularity is off the chain and thought it might help to get rid of some subcutaneous water.

By the way i already read the game day book and have a plan already drawn up and cant wait to use Showtime!! Thanks

NO! Sauna can cause overcompenation and the body will HOLD water and tanning causes inflammation and should be cut 1 week out.

Its funny, no matter how many times she hears this, she ignores it...
Ironic?

See this is what i expected, thanks for the advice.

the last thing you want before a show is to so something that brings sub-q water to the surface of the skin!

How often do you de-load? Most people thrive on a de-load period every 4-5 weeks where they decrease volume, intensity or some factor of training. Some just do cardio for a week or so.

Why are you training to failure all the time? To me this is counterproductive at your stage. You should be focusing on adding weight to the bar and ignore what anyone says to you at your gym, because you are working with a damn good trainer who knows his ****.

I am sure ( actually Positive) he is directing you in the right path, just as hard as it is to turn off your brain, sometimes you have to. You just have to do what works for you and your recovery, do not look at more trained individuals are doing like Marc, Rob, Derek etc. They have built their recovery abilities over years of training and can handle it.

Like Marc said your Powerlifting friend sounds like he is just tossing out a bunch Of BS atm. For where you are now, you should just lift the weight and practice good form, when you become more advanced you can worry about the speed of the movement.

Good luck

I have raised my carbs and calories and initially DROPPED down to 188.6! Now, I am rebounding back up and am 193 with sick ab veins and full muscles. I look better than ever...well, I looked better AT my show since I peaked!

Hi Marc

I feel it more now. It is ridiculous.

I keep setting PRs and the veins and energy...well...you have to experience it.

[Speedgtr90]

Quake is already on backorder?!?? WTF?!?!?

[MAX-OT-IVAN]

Quake is already on backorder?!?? WTF?!?!?

I am sure the status is "back ordered" simply because they do not even have it updated into their current inventory. They had it listed like that even before the shipment had reached them.

Bingo. They will have it this week, but it will sell fast.

[J-Freak]

Hey Marc, Just curious, where are you going to be at in the Cincinnati area? Also do you know which day you will be in the Nati?

No, it's kinda hot actually

Not going to lie, Quake is pretty damn amazing. Not only is the focus/pumps strong during your workout, even after your workout you will still feel in the zone. Its going to be well worth the money to invest in this. Quake is the real deal.

If college kids start taking it to study, then you'll know it's for realz!

[JP83]

I placed my pre-order purchase for Quake + Vanilla Solution 5 all the way back in Feb. 27th to be exact. I really wish they would of shipped the Sol 5 since there was a mess up with Quake 10.0. Thank God for the Choc i have left. And on a side note i wasn't thrilled on the taste of the new flavor. It tasted and smelled no joke like plato. Very odd but i drank it down none the less. I figure i can always mix in a scoop of choco and that will make up for it. The nutritional value is too good to pass up just because i'm not thrilled with the taste.

Now if only my order would arrive!!!! I'm dying to take 2 scoops of Quake and hit some legs!!

Good I'm not crazy. Still Scivation Vanilla whey tastes like the best thing on the planet.
For some reason I always feel soooooo sleepy after I eat Solution 5.

Since D is busy I am having to make up a new split for chest/shoulders/tris. Could I find that in one of the Scivation books?

You don't need a book for a workout. Decide what bodypart your gonna do prior to going to the gym; when you arrive, pound the hell out of it. Done deal. If your lacking motivation at the gym,or, simply feeling sluggish, maybe a week of "wing'n" it could be mentally beneficial.
