Still loving the supplements. These past two weeks I have adjusted my diet to maintain because its memorial weekend and I go to the University of Missouri, which means Lake of the Ozarks time.

Really diggin the RPM/Lit Up Combo

RPM and DRIVE are soooo underrated!

[njmuscle66]

Been away for a few days getting married

Britt-I will response to your emails tonight and also going to set up a training log.

Time to get serious now...............

[Black_Label]

RPM and DRIVE are soooo underrated!

The best stuff is always forgotten for a while

Maybe ill get back to my AN roots and run a solid RPM/Drive combo. With osteosport and maybe poseidon for cardio

RPM & DRIVE have a big following. But you are correct! You should try that combo(1-2 RPM) with LIT-UP it's amazing!!!!!

Amazing leg day, new PR's! I have to give credit to Lit-Up, my last couple heavy sets of squats it felt like I had tunnel vision I was so focused. It's great to see everyone on the thread, everyone's looking great!

Barbell Squats: 135X12, 225X12, 275X10, 315X10, PR(or as high as I've gone for 6 reps) 365X6 and PR 385X4

Stiff-Leg Deadlifts: 135X15, 185X12, 225X10

Wide Stance, Deep Squats with a Smith Machine (kind of like a modified hack squat)
135X12, 185X10, 225X10

Leg Extensions & Curls: I lost track of sets n' reps, but they hurt, so I think it went well

Leg Press Calf Raises: 3 Plts.(a side)X12, 4 Plts.X12, 5 Plts.X12, 6 Plts.X10

To those dieting; Hang In There!
