My Journey: The road to a better life - Kingnickandnate's workout journal

[qstick99]

I spent some time doing individual muscle parts and could not imagine doing splits but then when I began doing some splits I enjoyed them and realized I could hit the muscles just as hard, just had to be a little more creative. I like both and continue to go back and forth to be honest. My HRT was splits and I enjoyed that system but on my own I might do bi's and tri's with lots of super sets doing a try super set with a bi workout and that can destroy your arms quick! Just keep an open mind and mix things up is my opinion!

I used to do things more along those lines I just know I cant anymore just dont have the energy and my recovery isn't as good.

Appreciate the input!
Yeah i can't wait to get out of school, so i can make up my own programs and not have to work around other people. It will be a while, so for now i'll just keep building foundation with multiple muscles per workout. Then when im out, i'll focus and work on bulking up.

how do you like neurocore?

I've been using it for a while now on and off. It's not really my favorite, but it gets the job done. It's a '3 scoop max' product, rather than a 2 scoop max; but im just now starting to use 2-3 scoops rather than one, so its not bad at all. I'm going to try out that stim-free PWO here soon as well, when i finish off this neuro tub.

[Swuuu]

Yeah took your advice on that one

nice let me know how you like it! Don't expect to feel anything dramatic on the first dose though, but I do think it gives pretty good energy considering its a non stim!

haha at least you dont have to worry about running out anytime soon. I have enough PWO's to last me a while now lol

It's always nice to be stocked up! But i also split certain tubs with friends here and there. Like with that 10lb bag i got last order; i filled 2 separate 2lb tubs and we split the price.. be both use it after lifting everyday at school. lol
So i usually run out sooner than expected

I agree, glad you liked it after convo about it Swuuuu =D

BTW, kingnick what are you training for now (bulking, hypertrophy, cutting, etc.)? Because if you want I can make you a routine, like if you want I can send you my current hypertrophy bulking routine (it's a 4 day split). Also if you want a killer move for tris try this move I do: get on a decline bench and do 10-12 EZ-bar skullcrushers (make sure you go lighter than whatever your flat bench skullcrushers are the decline makes them harder) superset those with 10-12 close grip EZB presses I do 5 supersets of those (I do more for tris its just those are killer).

Just let me know, because I can post my routine for you or help you make one

Well the problem right now is that i have to follow my coaches routine for the most part, until im out of school. I have several days where i can do my own thing, but then there are set days where he tells us what we have to do as a class. It just makes things difficult, that's why I've been just going with the flow and building structure and getting down form; then when i leave school i can get a nice routine going. Cause, as of right now, im just doing a slight cut; im mostly maintaining and getting everything down.

And i'll definitely incorporate more skull crushers in my workout; and try out those declines.

Today was a small leg day. Just didn't have the focus with me today; i need to start getting more sleep. Will make up for it tomorrow, though.

Yep you gotta make it a big leg day man!! You will love it! Haha

[Sean26607]

We all have those days of just "going with the motions" Heck, I had one the other day....but on leg day? I made up for it.

[kingnickandnate]

I mean i got in some lunges with the BB, some calf raised with the BB, some leg extensions, and some other things.. and it was intense (i was sweating and that never happens on leg days) but i just know i could have hit it harder.

Yeah, i'll just kill it next leg day. I can't squat at home, and thats one of my favorites, so thats another problem lol

Also got this in the mail today..

[kingnickandnate]

Had a crazy workout session today compared to my usual, especially compared to my workouts these past couple days. I started off the day with the usual 'proats' and then went to class. Around 30 minutes before my workout, i took my Neurocore, but this time i added creatine and hemavol to make a nice PWO cocktail. I also took some Avastar, so i was ready to go. As i started my workout, i could feel the pump getting out of hand; it was by far the most pumped up workout I've had in a while. On top of that, my workout just kept going and going; my guess would be that it was a cause of the ErgoTest I've been logging. My workout lasted from 1:15 to 4:15, but with a 20 minute break in between somewhere around 2:30. A good day to say the least.
