Any way you can get blood work with this? ^_-

[2Burnt]

subbed for the OG doing his thang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ShayZ]

Any way you can get blood work with this? ^_-

I considered it, and I have one free blood work I can get done, but I dont really want to pay for an extra one at the end. Im actually going to run TestForce 2 Weeks 6-10. So it may not be a horrible idea. Ill think about it for the next week.

Woke up this morning to a tickle in my throat, knew it would be bad.

Got the Z pack and some nasal inhalers. I should be able to hit the gym for 5 x 5 upper Wednesday

Today I did the QBM legs...
OMG. Burning. Lets just say i wrote down some weights I expected to do... And I wasnt even able to do 1/2, sometimes 1/3 of the expected weight due to complete exhaustion.

One hour post workout now and legs are still tight.
I hope to god im sore tomorrow. I havent been SORE in my legs in a while. Yes they get a little sore, but never SORE! Let me take that back, a month ago my glutes and hams were fired up for a few days post workout.

[PinchTheBear]

[ShayZ]

i attempted to but forgot my knee sleeves at home... That was my excuse anyhow
I usually do barbell lunges with 110. I used the 30 lb curl bar and almost fell over after 3 reps... hahahaha... so i stopped after 1/6th of a set
So I skipped the lunges.... Next week, next week for sure

Yea, I showed JujuB the Leg press preexhaustion workout since he missed legs Thursday. He mentioned he had crazy cramping in the legs

As for me my legs they feel fine walking. If I flex them then I feel it. But like I said, ive always done crazy volume and hit legs twice a week. So it isnt a HUGE shock to my legs.

Best way to verify you are doing the workouts correctly is to watch the videos on the website.

Robert explains how everything is supposed to be done down to a T. Best way to learn the workout.
