Anthony21's Magnum Opus Log

[dbone1026]

Thanks boss i'll definitely make sure to pull with confidence.

Thats just weird...

[Anthony21]

Thats just weird...

Hahaha now that I read that it sounds pretty homo

What's up guys. So I hope this isn't against the rules of this log but today I decided since it was going to be a PR day for my deadlift I would mix a stim pre with 2 scoops of Opus. I apologize if this is against the rules but MAN DID IT MAKE FOR AN AWESOME WORKOUT AND PR!!!

I got a sample from a buddy on here of some Mr Hyde and have been wanting to try it out. I used 1 scoop of it along with 2 scoops of Opus and MAH GAWD WAS THE ENERGY, FOCUS, MENTAL AGRESSION AND ENDURANCE AWESOME. Opus is great stacked with a stim based preworkout and it would be awesome if Magnum came out with one to pair with Opus.

I felt great through out my workout and by the time I was done it felt like I had left everything behind in the gym.

Here is my workout from my workout log I had going. Thanks for following guys.

What's up guys. Today was an awesome workout. It was the type of workout you look forward to cause you know the mission and you have the mind set to just destroy. That's exactly how it went for me today. I set a PR in my OHP and mot importantly a PR in my deadlift.

I felt good with my squats and took advantage of the lighter weight to work on my walk out. This time I only took two steps vs 4 steps and it worked out well. It's not perfect but it's definitely getting better. I felt mentally strong today and overall it was a great evening lifting.

Let's get to my workout.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the look. I'm always looking to improve with my form in some way week to week. Next on deck i'm going to be filming some cable flies to get some pointers on my form. I'm specifically wanting some pointers from Ben lol

[sloop]

Some people dont even warm up with form that good, well done Anthony. And congratulations on the new records!

Videos like that in a Magnum log give Free Weight Freidel a special feeling in his bathing suit area.

LOL i'm literally laughing at my desk right now with that last sentence lol.

In time haha. I don't want to throw on 400lbs all of a sudden. I gotta stay the course with Madcow. Hopefully i'll be pulling 400 soon and i'm sure my form will look like sh!t lol. Your form with your max pull I saw was pretty good bro.

I get what you are saying. I am not doing a program right now. Just sticking to 5x5 which is working. I figure as long as I am not sore or hurt myself my form can't be too bad!

I'm sure you're experienced enough to just go with what you know works. I need a template and a program to follow at this point. It helps me stay the course and not switch back and forth from workout to workout.

I would say the form looked good for that type of weight. It looked to easy for you man. Pull 500

Well I am going to try 475 on Sunday if I am feeling good. I will slowing increase until I fail. My goal is 495 for my log which is 10 plates. I have about 3+ weeks to get there.

You'll get there. The way you looked with your last pull i'm confident you will.

[Anthony21]

What's up guys.

Today was the stuff of future legends haha. No but really tonight was a great workout. 2 scoops opus (forgot my pack of Serum ) and It was on. The endurance I had paired with just the clear confidence made for an amazing workout.

Here's my entry from my workout log from tonight's workout. Stay strong!

HELL YEA!!!!!!!!!

I crushed my PRS tonight. Sorry for the excitement but I'm just happy with how it went in the gym tonight.

I had a buddy from my work lift with me. The only thing he really did along side me was squats. I was mostly helping him with some pointers and what not.

I felt strong today in the gym. I mean strong and just in the zone. My squat and bench just felt spot on tonight. Everything just clicked and was firing on all cylinders. Sorry for rambling but i'm just happy with how things went lol.

Let's get to my workout shall we?

Thanks Kon, just trying to get better each and every day i'm in the gym.

What's up everyone. I just got back from the gym a little bit ago and it was another great one.

I woke up and had two scoops of Opus, no feed in my system and I left to the gym.

I felt great in the gym seeing as I woke up at 4am this morning. I had great endurance from the beginning of the workout to the end and felt I left everything behind in the gym, love that feeling.

Here's my workout from my workout log. You guys stay strong.

What's up guys. I just got back from the gym a little bit a go. It was another great workout and set a squat pr & bench pr.

The last rep on my bench was the tough one as you'll see in the video.

My squat felt good and depth was hit which I was happy with.

Let's get to the workout.

Niiiiiice 200x5 set on bench, man. 225 is an important # to reach, but hitting that 200 level is just as important IMO.

Crazy good squats too...such good form.

[Marshall28]

Squat and bench on the same day? That is crazy Nice job on the PRS.

Thanks gentlemen.

225lb bench is definitely a bench that I want to obtain. I remember when just benching my bodyweight was a goal. I was happy as hell to reach that, now i'm pushing forward.

[Anthony21]

Are you setting PRs during everyworkout on a stim-free stack, man? That's incredible. Are you eating more or anything?

[Marshall28]

Congrats on the PRs. Jelly.

Eating like a beast bro and not giving a fawk about any fat gains

With Madcow's it's usually PRs from week 4 and on. You better get on a 5x5 bro.

Congrats on the PRs. Jelly.

Thanks Marsh. You pull 500lbs yet

Eating like a beast...so jelly.

I'm setting or tieing a few rep PRs on Macenko so far...hoping for some heavier PRs in the upcoming weeks. The 5x5 squats are coming along really nicely though

I know maybe going about eating like I am isn't ideal but honestly i'm past the point of caring about a gut or love handles right now. My primary focus is just strength. If it was between a 405lb deadlift or 6 pack abs, best believe i'm choosing the 405lb deadlift.

That's good to hear the program is working for you bro.

[mivi320]

Looking great, this is a solid product for sure.

[sloop]

Just getting caught up on my favorite logs, incredible work on the 340x5 DL. How in the world are you doing this on a stimulant free schedule?!
