AFTERMATH and Pete Wicks

[pwicks83]

Well I had to change it up a little bit yesterday because I got home late from my second job. Instead of going to the gym and doing a leg workout, I did my cardio. No worries though because I have the next 4 days off from mowing. I will be hitting my legs up after work today and then arms/shoulders Sunday and Monday chest/back.

Special Note

I posted this in Incline's thread so if no one has came up with this idea then I will be the first. After I got done doing my cardio I took my AfterMath and put it in my shaker. Instead of mixing it with water, I mixed it with Rain Berry Gatorade. MMMMMMMM good. It mixed very well and the taste was unexplainable. Now for all you people out there on a very strict diet I have some numbers for you. 10 oz of Rain Berry Gatorade has 60 calories, about 120mg sodium, 35-40mg potassium, 14-16g carb and 14-16g sugar.

Food Intake

5:30am 4 eggs+protein shake
7:30am multi-grain bar
10:30am 1 bowl raisin bran
1pm sliced ham sandwich/can of peas
5pm chicken/salad
9:30pm AfterMath mixed with 10oz gatorade
10pm 3 egg omelete/cheese/hot sauce

Can't wait to do squats today it has become one of my favorite compound movements.

It's almost that time again. Can't wait to hit up the gym and beat the crao out of my legs. I have been thinking all day about it and also trying to thik of another idea of something to mix with the AfterMath.

It may also be decent in Arctic Shatter powerade.

[pwicks83]

I will pick some up on the way to the gym and let you know what I think tomorrow. THANKS

Good deal. I have been slacking on everything this weekend. I still need to try the gatorade.

[pwicks83]

Sunday I took it kind of easy and did a 4 mile run. It was kind of hot so I sweated majorly. But as soon as I got home I drank my Aftermath with gatorade and I felt tottaly refreshed and rehydrated.

My food intake was the average normal day.

[pwicks83]

I hear you man. I am taking total advantage of my 3 days off and doing nothing but working out and relaxing.

[pwicks83]

Alright, today I am going to change it up a little bit and just stick to a bicep and ab workout. I have never tried this before but I always believe in changing it up every now and then. I'm hoping this will give me more pump and vascularity in my bi's because I will only be focusing on them instead of also my shoulders.

I had to stop doing shoulders/bi's on the same day because my movements incorporate my delts and the pain in my shoulders was really hindering my workouts.

[pwicks83]

I hear you there. It was nice to just focus on my biceps for a change. I was able to move more weight.

[manofmany]

I'll be trying out your gatorade tip as soon as I get done demolishing legs shortly

[pwicks83]

Awesome, I have a strong feeling you will enjoy it.

I'm really enjoying the AfterMath. I don't really get any extra vascularity like one of the other loggers says he does, but it always quenches my thirst and leaves me feeling full for a while.

[manofmany]

Very nice job on the heavy preacher curls!

I just mixed 16oz of the berry rain gatorade with 2 packets of blue raspberry AfterMath and it was VERY refreshing and tasted great. Had to use 2 after legs today.

[pwicks83]

Thanks. I knew you would love the gatorade idea.

Yesterday was a cardio day for me. After I was done mowing for the night I went home and did my P90X plyometric's disc. I love it because it's convienent for me to do after a long day of work. As soon as I was done, I downed my AfterMath. I woke up this morning and felt great. Usually after my session with plyometrics the next morning my calves are soar from all the jumping.

I will post my food intake for yesterday in a little bit.

Good workouts man

Although I was pretty happy with my workout after such a long day of work, I think I may need to look into a pre-workout drink to give me that extra push. I think with a pre-workout drink my numbers would have been a little better. I know on the weekends when I workout in the morning I have a ton more energy and my numbers are better.

If anyone thinks I should include any certain style of lifts to my workout let me know. Also if anyone has any suggestions on what I should do pre-workout in order to have more energy for the gym please advise me. Thanks for your help.

I don't know if you drink coffee or tea while working but usually just having some tea and an orange cuts it for me pre workout. I just started working 8-530 on weekdays so I bought some white flood a few weeks back to take before I lift at night, it has helped a ton..

Other than that I think it helps to take 5 minutes, close your eyes and kinda relax between work and the gym, I do that and it helps my brain clear out ya know

[pwicks83]

I usually just sip on water during my workout. I am going to try the 5 minute clear my mind thing next time. Lately now that my workouts are at night I have been bringing my IPOD touch with me and cranking some hard rock to crank me up.

Good workouts man
