BB2K takes on OPUS!!

[BB2K]

Hamstring day. I was supposed to do hams and calves but my left calf from the bottom of my knee to mid foot is swollen… and swollen big time. I was doing yard work last weekend and I guess a spider or something bit my. Now my entire calf is red and swollen. I’ve been on antibiotics and Benadryl all week and it isn’t helping. So I may have to go to the hospital today. Not happy about that at all. As far as my workout I did what I could. No calfs though.



On to the workout!

[B Con]

[BB2K]

Bad ass back workout today. Im surprised I did so well, I was sick all day Sunday. Woke up at 7am very nauseated and felt like I had heart burn. With 30min I was puking my guts up. This lasted on and off for a few hours then finally calmed down. I slept most of the day and only ate 1 time. But weirdly enough I woke up this morning feeling great... weird shyt i know. But I wasnt about to ask questions, i took advantage of it and busted back today.

On to the workout!

Try and use your body weight for the weight on this exercise. For example, I weigh 203lbs currently, so I did 205lb Deadlift for a total of 50 reps. Sets do not matter, just get the targeted reps.

Love seeing the "hulk smash" reference... great job on both workouts. You are killing it. I know you are already dieting but are you still partaking in sushi when you can?

I have 7 weeks to go. I still get my cheat meals once a week. Sushi is my first choice but have to keep the wife in mind so we switch it up now. Last cheat was Mexican food. I had seared tuna and fajita tacos. Bam!

Glad to hear everythings on track and looking forward to your review.

So, im going to fix what ever it is first. So now i will be taking the next year to train for the Jr. Nationals. Time to bulk until i HULK!!



OPUS Review

I was very impressed with this product. I loved what it did for me. The pumps and energy from it were nothing short of fantastic. It lasted the entire workout with no crash, jitters or anything negative.


Flavor: 7-10 ... i admit, the flavor to me wasnt all that great but flavor isnt important, results are. OPUS gave me kick ass results.

Mix Ability: 10-10... mixed perfectly

Energy: 9.5-10... nice steady flow of amazing energy.

Pumps: 9-10... nothing to intense, which i dont like, the pumps were perfect for me.

Focus/Drive: 9-10... very nice, no complaints.


Opus is a solid product in my book, would i use it again? yup. For sure!

[SupremeMMA]

Sorry to hear about your health man, hopefully you get that resolved soon. Nice review of the Opus, it's a good product.

[B Con]

Recover quickly. Thanks for the great log and great final review. We appreciate your honesty and wish you the best with your continued growth.

Thanks fellas. i'm dealing with high ass blood pressure. ive had it for years but its gotten worse. So im looking into natural supplements to keep it in check. CoQ10, Hawthorn Berry, Folic Acid etc. Just need to see which is best and go from there.
