I am juggernaut contest

[alika2die4]

ok, here is a heads up -- Juggernaut (orange flavored) and Chocolate V60 protein powder mixes great together - however, the taste - not so great!! LOL.. yeah, I tried it - doubt I will do it again.. but now I can say I tried it and proved it to be nasty! though, I have to admit I feel great and ready for a good chest workout today! headn to gym now so will update journal tonight!

Haha keep up the mixing shenagins and your nickname will mad scientist

[kennknee]

Race Day is such a fun atmosphere, no matter if you are running, walking, or just watching. Have a great time!!!

Ok, today I have gotten alot of yard work done along with a 5K bike ride and 1.5 mile walk! oh yeah.. tonight I will hit the legs in my own gym! I am not so worried about dropping weight as I am in putting the weight where it needs to be! Like as muscle not fat around the waist! But, the cardio helps get the metabolism going so I can digest the protein I am shoveling down!!
This coming weekend the wife and I are going to New Orleans for the Crescent City 10K - though, I will be fast walking it, not running it like most folks! I have never been a runner and after 2007 when I had 3 bouts with double pneumonia the lungs just aren't into trying it now! so, I let me wife do her thing and I walk it!! oh yeah! a day of cardio!
Ok,, will post up the journal tonight after supper..

[alika2die4]

Ok, well, leg day got pushed back a day. Wife came home from work under the weather so Monday became "Spouse Personal Day"!!

[masterrebel]

LOL.. thanks for the encouragement but I think experiementing my drinks is done.. LOL.. well, ok, I am planning on trying to mix juggernaut and vanilla flavored protein - I think the chocolate and orange didnt mix well but maybe vanilla and orange may taste like a creamy sherbert. Then I am done! LOL..

Orange JUGGERNAUT with Vanilla Whey = DELISH!!! Personally I loved this combination. I also mixed the Grape Massport with Vanilla Whey - another great combination.

[WildBill22]

Nice article! Totally agree! Creatine has been around for some years now and as I stated before - I just can NOT get used to taste of it; however, I take it! I have friends that can take tablespoons of it straight out of the container and swallow it -- I cannot!! I have to mix it with other stuff to make it down the throat! kinda like at competition time (in the old days) guys would swallow vinegar by swigging it - I can do that!! And I would rather do that than swallow creatine straight! LOL.. hey, its all in the taste buds and like opinions - everyone's is different.
Thanks for the article though,, always enjoy a good read..

There are other options. CarnoCre is a great product that is a combination of creatine and beta alanine - two widely proven supplements. Mixed with JUGGERNAUT and you have an awesome stack!!

[MrsMB]

Hmmmm, Mixing huh? Now that sounds like a great idea. Let me know if you ever find something close to pina colada

Hey I told you vanilla protein and orange juggernaut, bottle of water and half a cup of milk! if you want, cut the milk

how's everything else going?

[kennknee]

I absolutely LOVE using Tropical Diet Splaah (10 calories), and mixing it with Banana flavored whey... Like I'm on a beach somewhere!

[masterrebel]

That is true, Justin! You did say vanilla protein and orange Juggernaut! Yer on top of it, dude!! LOL.. I like the vanilla protein and milk - it tastes like a milk shake so I am sure the orange added will change it into an orange creamsicle taste.. Looking forward to trying that out! I had a great leg workout with this and didn't get near as nauseous as I did with the other mixture! LOL..

will post up my leg workout journal after I get done with quads tonight - I split my legs because they are too exhausting to jam all together! I don't want to cheat my quads.

So, ok, the mixture trials are still going on!! Now I have to find a pina colada flavor to help out MrsMB.. LOL.. Anyone got any suggestions??

Kenny, where did you find the Banana flavored whey and Tropical splash? I have Labrada V60 (chocolate Ice Cream flavored), and MuscleTech (Vanilla flavored) Nitro Isolate - love the taste of both with water or milk.

*******JOESWAT, THE ORIGINAL JUGGERNAUT****************

TODAYS TOPIC IS ; HOW SAFE ARE BEHIND THE NECK PULL DOWNS AND BEHIND THE NECK SHOULDER PRESSES,.....IS THIS MOVEMENT WORT THE RISK.....

HERE IS MY OPINION; BE CAUTION WITH PULL DOWNS BEHIND THE NECK, THIS IS VERY LIMITED EXERCISE, ITS A GOOD
EXERCISE WHEN IT’S DONE WITH PROPER FORM AND SQUEEZE WITH LIGHT WEIGHTS... ANY OTHER WAY ITS A FORMULA FOR INJURIES....

HERE IS SOME INFO ON HOW YOU CAN AVOID AN INJURY;
**The problem with the behind-the-neck Pulldowns lies in "external
rotation, rotate your arms backward so that your palms are facing up.
It's basically the opposite movement to internal rotation.
To do the behind-the-neck pulldown as normally instructed, you must
externally rotate your shoulders as much as possible. This is a very
delicate position for your shoulders. This is the main reason heavy weights are not advisable. The supporting muscles of the shoulders (known as the rotator cuff) are not in a good position to stabilize the joint and injury to those supporting muscles can result, which can lead to further injury in the
connective tissue of the joint.

Since most people do not have enough shoulder flexibility to get a straight line of pull behind the neck, they must bend their neck forward to do this movement; this can result in neck strain on top of shoulder strain.

This information also applies to the behind-the-neck PULL-UP exercise.
The mechanics of the movement are exactly the same, the only difference
being you're pulling yourself up instead of pulling the weight down.
NOTE;
The Behind-The-Neck Press gives us the same shoulder issues associated
with the Behind-The-Neck Pulldowns. To do the movement, you must
maximally externally rotate the shoulders. This places the shoulders in
a very vulnerable position which can easily result in strain in to the
Rotator Cuff muscles.

Most people simply don't have the necessary shoulder flexibility to get a straight line on the movement -they must tilt their head forward to get the bar behind it, adding greatly to the possibility of injury. For me I like to bring the bar in front for lat pull down or presses, this allows me to(go heavy) pull the bar down with control and aligned with the Body grove/form.
Train safe, train smart, train for results.
