The Hunger for Success: The Solution's Offseason

Bob, ever use Dyma Casein to sludge? If yes, how does it compare to Cellucors new line? Or optimum for that matter..never sludged those two

You can't compare a Casein to a Whey, that's like comparing apples to oranges........

Casein all around will produce a thick ass sludge compared to whey. I personally really enjoy Dymatize's line of casein. PB Choc. is bomb along with their Cinnamon Roll. Also try MP Vanilla, it's pretty good.

I must be weak then lol. Find it hard to get like 60lbs onto my knees when sitting down using only 1 arm. I cant curl 60lbs lol.

We all have our strengths and weakness's, Chest is a stronger bodypart for me. Back on the other hand.. Weak sauce..
Try lying on the ground first, having the DB's on your side, and put one on your knee at a time, then roll back and kick up.

^^ Agreed.

Cellucor is a WPI/WPC Whey blend, its no where near thick like a Casein.
The Cellucor Whey Cinnamon Swirl tastes exactly like this "Cinnamon Toast Crunch"
Nearly 90% of the reviews state that exact phrase.

This does seem brutal indeed!
I love the slow negatives! Really fries the muscle! Real ego buster!
That being said, I think that 5 sec. negative on BB squats just might do me in!..LOL!
I might be the old guy at the gym..."Help, I've fallen and can't get up."..

slow neg. squats will def. sneak up on you, and with that 5s pause at the bottom would just make it worse!

The hardest part is trying to count to 5 on the way down and in the hole. Your focus is on trying to hold your form the entire time haha.
