Going Stim Happy with SAN Launch 4350

[polgas]

Crazy, some people actually still work with their hands for a living!

I wouldn't call it a living, hehe. It's just temporary so it's all good.

My shoulder DB press went up in weights again today. Really loving this log so far. The effects Launch has given me has enabled me to progress quite nicely these past few weeks. I probably said this already but Launch is definitely top 3 in my book.

I will be starting a non-sponsored 6 month log next Sunday to see how far I can go before I reach 40. I will be using Triazole+DAA for 2 months, XFA+LCLT+Glycergrow for 2 months, then I will finish it off with APE for 2 months. Together with Launch and iBCAA MAX, these next few months should be fun!!

Epic 6 month stack plan! What are you planning on doing for workouts?

Thank you.

I'll just keep on doing what I'm doing now until I stop progressing, then I'll switch to something else. Any suggestions?

I really liked how I felt doing low reps/high weights last workout that I decided to do it again today. I added 1 rep on my first and second sets on chin ups but lost some while doing standing dumbbell curls. As always, as long as I'm progressing on my compound lifts, I'm happy. No jitters today from Launch. I think yesterday's jitters was due to me having coffee too close to my workout. Pumps were surprisingly good today too.

Decided to start doing deadlifts on back day. My lower back felt great so I decided to push myself and am really glad that I did. I was able to add a rep to my 305 lbs DL, a personal best for me. 450 lbs before the end of the year!!!

I hate that... I'll take a stim break and then go back on, a week later it's like I never even bothered.

Hurt my lower back at work yesterday. Nothing serious but at my age, a little pain can get out of hand really quick, so I decided to not do deadlifts today and take it easy with the weights. I'm actually thinking of moving deadlifts on back days. I did ATG squats with just the bar, then with just a 25lbs plate on my chest, then bodyweight squats. Focus, energy, and enurance were still on point but I still decided to cut down on other sources of caffeine, just in case I become stim-tolerant. Pumps, which I think is Launch's biggest weakness was great today as well. I think it's partly due to the amount of reps I did.

Decided to do barbell squats after not doing them for years in fear of injuring my back, and just found out how weak my legs are. I could not even do 145 lbs without my legs shaking. I had to stop at 4 reps. My ego got bruised today but my motivation just went up a few notches. I will try my best to squat 200 lbs by the end of this log and 300x5 by the end of the year.

I've decided to not drink coffee on off days and go on a stim break after this log. It's gonna suck for sure.

stim breaks blow. I try to start them when I am busy so I don't sit around feeling miserable/hungry all day.

Video your first workout, you'll probably throw some weights through the ceiling.

Added reps to my shoulder press again!! I think cutting down on coffee was a really good decision since Launch's effects were extra strong minutes after I took it. I might not need to go on a stim break yet. Will add 2.5 lbs on my next workout.

Tomorrow will be the start of my non-sponsored log. Hope you guys check it out.

I wasn't feeling too good today due to some bad seafood. It affected my workout a bit, but still managed to add 2 reps to my chin ups. My legs were still sore from last Thursday's leg workout so I decided to pass on doing deadlifts. Really disappointed about that. I guess there's always next week.
