[or_yourlivingtodie]

Thanks! Yeah that would be great, I'd love to try it out. Besides Tropinol XP I've tried a sample pack of hemavol and maximize but those are the only iforce products I've tried. But I def like what the company is doing with their products!

So you use intermediate fasting as your normal diet?

Hey, my weekend was relaxing! I banged out some cardio Saturday and Sunday but no weight training. I take the weekends off unless I miss a day during the week for some reason. I played catch up on my DVR since I've had about 6 total days off work in the past 4 months! Work has been insane as of late!

Hopefully the pumps were bearable for leg day. I hope that I get some vascularity to come through my quads once I start dosing Trop XP.

I usually wear wind/jogging pants when I do legs... wont see any vascularity until I change

Ok so yesterday was leg day. It was a little more volume. The workout was good though. I'm def starting to feel a little bit of a raise in the libido. I did notice as the workout progressed last night I seemed to just get into a groove and felt like I was getting stronger the more I pushed through. Here's the workout. Rep range was between 14-16 reps.

Quads & Hams:

Hack squats- 4 total plates + 10's for 4 sets of 16,16,16,16 reps.

Front squats (I just started doing these and still trim to get use to them so I'm not strong at these at all)- 135 for 4 sets of 16,16,16,16 reps.

Leg extensions- 210 for 4 sets of 16,16,16,16 reps.

Seated leg curls- 170 for 3 sets of 16,15,15

One legged seated curls- 90 for 4 sets of 15,15,14,14

DB straight leg deads- 60's for 4 sets of 16,16,16,16 reps.

Overall I felt strong and could of went up in weight in almost all exercises. It was a fret workout to say the least!

Libido- 8/10 (def noticed a slight increase in this area)

Aggression- 7/10 (I was actually dreading this workout a little bit, but it was a great workout but I didn't feel overly mad or aggressive).

Pumps- 9/10 (legs were pumped the entire workout)!

Strength gains- 9/10 (like I said earlier I felt like I got stronger as the workout progressed and was indeed stronger in every exercise compared to the last time I did this workout).

Muscle gain- 7/10 (I can't really say I've gained muscle but I'm stronger so I k owning def didn't loose it).

Weight fluctuation- I was down to 178. But bc I'm cutting my weight is expected to drop a little especially since I adjusted my calorie intake mid last week. Also could be the leaning agents in the Tropinol XP helping out as well!

Mind state/mood- 8/10 (I really wasn't excite about last nights workout but it quickly turned into a great workout once it got going. I felt more focused as the workout progressed as well)!

Overall I great workout and I think the Tropinol XP played a big role!

[J-Freak]

How is the intimidate? How'd the early chest session go?

Thanks! I'm glad your enjoying my log this far!

[J-Freak]

Hopefully the pumps were bearable for leg day. I hope that I get some vascularity to come through my quads once I start dosing Trop XP.

I def had to walk around after a few sets to help loosen my legs up from the pumps! I'm starting to get some of that quad vascularity myself, it's nice!

[J-Freak]

I usually wear wind/jogging pants when I do legs... wont see any vascularity until I change

Lol I usually rock sweat pants, I occasionally will lift them up and check out what's going on underneath the pants! Haha

My gym is in a basement so it stays cold in there pretty much year round. So I usually stay pretty covered up.

[J-Freak]

So I decided to move back to Max-OT training as of yesterday. I've always been a fan of lower volume, high intensity workouts. Max-OT embodies pretty much everything I look for in a program and I had great success with it for the time I used it. With me dieting I feel it's even more essential to be lifting as heavy as possible to make sure you retain the muscle you've built in the first place and not diet it off. Yesterday was chest and tri's, here's the workout.

Chest & Tris:

BB flat bench- 225 x 3 sets of 4,4,4 reps

DB incline press- 100's x 2 sets of 5,4 reps

Weighted dips- 85 x 2 sets of 6,6 reps

Skull crushers- 95 x 1 set of 6

Tri press downs- 190 x 2 sets of 5,6 reps

Over head DB extensions- 80 x 2 sets of 6,6 reps.

Overall it was a great workout. It felt good to go pretty heavy the entire workout. I still had good pumps in my chest and tris and my chest was even tryin to cramp on me immediately post workout.

Libido-8/10 (it has been up slightly the past few days)

Agression-8/10 (I didn't feel aggression like being pissed at the world, even though work got me a lil worked up yesterday. But I just felt ready to tackle some weights and do some damage)!

Pumps-8/10 (pumps were solid throught the entire workout)

Strength gains- (I was stronger than I had intiaipated on this workout, it's been a few months since I've used this training style).

Muscle gains-6/10 (I've held on to most of my previous strength inspite of me lowering my calories and upping cardio)

Weight fluctuation- I was 177 as of last night so down a pound compared to yesterday. But that could be just water most likely.

Mind state/mood-8/10 (it may be bc I was switching up my routine and was a little excited but I was focused an ready to get to the gym and lift yesterday. And even with the crap I felt with at work yesterday I was in a good mood).

Today is an off/cardio only day. Tomorrow will be back!

Looks like a very solid workout - it seems like everyone's pump benefits are staying strong, and the others are starting to manifest themselves too.

You're really going to be able to get after it here soon - be sure to keep an eye out for some positive changes and let us know about them!

I'm def liking the product so far, I can't wait to see the benefits the product can produce by the end of the bottle! I'll def keep everyone one informed as things progress.

I should be seeing the benefits first hand in a couple weeks or so, keep letting me know why Tropinol XP is awesome so that I can keep getting even more excited.

where is the "fast forward" button?

[J-Freak]

Sorry for the slack in the updates the past 2 days. I will get Thursday and yesterday's updates later today when I get home from work. My free time ha been stretched extremely thin the past 2 days!

[J-Freak]

Lol I will keep you informed for sure! I think you'll be more than happy with the benifits you'll see!

[J-Freak]

where is the "fast forward" button?

I know, right? Lol I'd def like to fast forward my work schedule right now. I won't have a day off for the next 5-6+ weeks. I've had about 7 total days off since late October I think. It's been so long it's hard for me to remember when exactly this madness started! Lol

[UncleWade]

Lol I will keep you informed for sure! I think you'll be more than happy with the benifits you'll see!

Awesome!

You look incredibly busy, keep up the hard work - you can do it!

[J-Freak]

Ok so I'm going to go ahead and log Thursdays back and traps workout then last nights shoulders, bi's, and forearms.

Back & traps:

Lat Pulldowns- 200 x 3 sets for 6,6,6 reps (I want to note I did this entire workout without straps due to them disappearing last week. So I probably could of went a little heavier)

Straight bar cable row- 220 x 1 sets for 8 reps and 240 x 1 set for 9 reps. Def need to go heavier on these next week.

BB rows- 225 x 2 sets for 6,6 reps

Weighted hyper ext.- 75 x 2 sets of 6,6 reps

Good mornings- 135 x 1 set of 6 reps and 145 x 1 set of 6 reps

BB shrugs- 315 x 1 set of 8 reps and 365 x 1 set of 6 reps

Upright rows- 95 x 2 sets of 6

Overall it was a pretty good workout. Need to get use to the max-OT principles again and push myself a little more. I def could of went heavier on most exercises but I was also without my wrist straps as well so I did what I could.

Libido- a solid 8/10 (I'm def noticing an increase in this area)

Aggression-7/10 (not so much an increase In the gym but I'm noticing I'm a little more agitated as of late and not really for any particular reason. Maybe this is the prep getting to me a little bit though, not sure).

Pumps- 9/10 (I was pumped in my lats after my warmups in the beginning of the workout).

Strength gains- 8/10 (strength is slowly but surely creepin up, I was actually Suprised a could handle some of the wights eight out my straps).

Muscle gains- 6/10 ( strength gain equals at least maintaining muscle possible growing a little bit of new muscle but doubt since I'm in a calorie deficit).

Weight fluctuation-178 I've been hovering around this weight most of this week.

Mood/mind state-8/10 (generally I feel good through out the day minus me getting agitated here and there at nothing).

[J-Freak]

Fridays shoulders, bi's & forearms:

DB press- 80's x 3 sets of 4,4,4 reps

DB side laterals- 50 x 2 sets of 6,7 reps

DB rear laterals- 66 x 1 set of 6 reps

BB curls- 100 x 3 sets of 5,5,5 reps

DB hammer curls- 50's x 1 set of 3 reps ( once again a lil heavier than I was expecting)

BB wrist curls- 75 x 1 set of 10 reps and 85 x 1 set of 6 reps
