That split looks good to me.


It looks like we will possibly have.

Clear Muscle 12 week program outlined in the study.



Y3T would be cool. Both emergency and I are fans of this program.

I haven't thought about doing a different workout but I'm open to suggestions.

I'm planning on working out 4 days a week (sat, sun, tue, wed). I workout in my garage but I have a somewhat legitimate set up. I have an Olympic bench and barbell set that can incline / decline, also use it for shrugs. Also I have a 2 station pulley-weight-stack thing that I use for pulldowns, seated rows, tricep extensions etc. Lastly, I have a pull-up bar.

A major consideration is I've never really worked out my legs and although I'm not dead set against starting with this log I'm worried it will throw the weight gained "control" out the window. If I gain 5 lbs people will say of course you did, it's newbie leg gains.

To wrap this up, other limitations would be I don't have Dumbbells or a squat rack (my machine has a leg press).

Anyway, I'm interested in hearing your thoughts. For a quick background I'm 38, 6'1", 165 lbs, been lifting the last 20+ years.

Figured since we're all about seeing how this transforms ours bodies I'd show you guys some my recent transformation

2.5 year offseason going from 145 to 252 lbs



Last time I measured my arms 1.5 years ago they were 15.5



Other random offseason (past month or so)





LETS SO HOW CLEAR MUSCLE HELPS US GROW!!!

All i can say is WOW

[cdevocht]

If Smolov is a 13 week program, do you think it would be more beneficial to have Clear Muscle during the first introductory week

Week 1 (3 consecutive days)
Day 1 – 3 x 8 @ 65%, 1 x 5 @ 70%, 2 x 2 @ 75%, 1 x 1 @80%
Day 2 – Exactly the same as day 1
Day 3 – 4 x 5 @ 70%, 1 x 3 @ 75%, 2 x 2 @ 80%, 1 x 1 @90%

Or the final Taper week, which is basically just recovering/growing !! (seems to be the most important part of any overreaching program)

Week 13
Monday – 1 x 3@ 70%, 1 x 3@ 80%, 2 x 5@ 90%, 3 x 4@ 95% (can skip this day)
Wednesday – 1 x 4@ 75%, 4 x 4@ 85%
Sunday – Max attempt

Any input appreciated, thanks!!

What a great opportunity!!! My boy Marshall28 (MuscleTech rep) raves about this product and how it's really elevated his powerlifting numbers. I've wanted to try this for months now, but $ has been tight and my kids well-being comes first. Awesome, awesome 3 months of gainz for some lucky folks!!!

These logs should be pretty interesting. A good amount of varies training styles and programs have been mentioned in this thread.

yes. At least I would. If you are not used to squatting in relative high volume than it would be beneficial but if you leg workouts are more relative volume then I wouldnt. Relative volume = sets x reps x % of 1rm

Yes, intro week or taper week?
I don't know if HMB is awesome for the supercompensation part or if it's better used during tough training.
I squat heavy 1 day/week and hypertrophy 1 day a week. It would definitely be a kick in the ass

[jgd5796]

1+ for German Volume Training

find the relative volume of the intro week vs relative volume of your current leg day and if there is a delta (difference) of 7+ then I would use clear muscle for intro week, if not then use it for recovery week

Intro week probably seems the better out of the two to me.

Thanks Fellas!
Okay will do. Have just read in other overreaching programs ie 50 caliber - Charles Poloquin, that during the intense phase you want to basically grind yourself into the dirt, have depressed testosterone etc etc then recovery week you eat a bunch, rest, and take all sorts of supplements to help promote growth.

If clear muscle works as people claim I'll probably buy it later to run the 50 cal workout if ever I get time to gym twice a day. Ohhh this is exciting.

So this friday is the last day my school's gym is open until after the new year. I plan on going in and finding my 1RM for Squat, Bench and Deadlift that day. I know it's a lot for one day, and even though I'm not doing the CM routine, this is what the study called for. The final week of my 12 week program I will do the same thing to see how much my 1RM increased.

[VO2Maxima]

Last leg day at my current gym! Push tomorrow, pull Wednesday, then a recovery day and starting up Blueprint on Friday! Driving to my parents' house later that Friday, so hopefully there will either be some Clear Muscle waiting for me, or I'll get it in the following couple days. The gym near my parents' house is pretty terrible (1 rack, 1 bench, 1 cable crossover, a couple random Cybex machines, and a million treadmills and bikes), and I figure there's a good chance that for the first two weeks I'll have to modify some exercises depending on what equipment they have, but the gym where I'll be moving looks pretty excellent. I figure I'll start the program Friday and use Thursday as my off day since the gym near my parents' house is closed Christmas and New Year's (both Thursdays), but the off-day might get switched around once I get my clinical rotation schedule next semester. Getting stoked!

[FatGuyMind]

are we going to get email shipping confirmation?

[Luckylefty811]

i hope it comes before the new year that would be clutch for me.

[llahhsoj]

Most likely.

i hope it comes before the new year that would be clutch for me.

I would be really surprised if it didn't. I'll see if I can get an arrival window from my boss.

[changemyoil66]

Im glad it hasnt been sent yet. Recovering from my cold. Squats went from 405x5 to 405 x2

[cdevocht]

Found your log on smolov, sounded like you had a good time with it. Hope the foot healed up alright!

that it did haha. Thank you. Smolov JR was tough

[HairyHenry]

CM with my Betaine is going to be beyond fantastic.

this ^ is a given. high expectations yes.

[xLGx]

So we're not getting it by the 20th? What a shame... could have really used it to start this log off strong while I'm on break from school rather than closer to when the semester starts. :/

I just sent my boss a PM to see what is going on.

[HairyHenry]

<-- awaits patiently.

I have 2 1/2 weeks left on my AMP program. I am wanting to start Clear Muscle when I start the Arnold BP after the AMP so first of year is cool with me if it takes that long.

The must arrive by date is the 29th. That usually means for most around the 25th. Starting after the first of the year is fine with me, preferably the 2nd or so. I'm sorry if I got people's hopes up about the 20th. I guestimated that. With all of the promos going and regular duties, shipping is super busy.

Was going to start Project Mass on the 29th if CM was here by then but hey, i can always do a second deload week and start the program the following Monday. I'll just hit some high volume training for an extra week no worries at all MT! We all appreciate this opportunity you gave to the 50 of us. No need to apologize bro

[VO2Maxima]

Yeah, no need to apologize, I'm just grateful for the opportunity. And stoked as all hell for some New Year's gains!

And I'm going to assume it won't arrive on the 25th...but if it does show up around that date, that's one heckuva Christmas present!

Im with both of you.

We are leaving on Christmas Eve morning to travel to Providence to spend the holidays one of our sons. Our ETA for return is the 31st. If the CM is here when I return the log will get started the following day with the finale of AMP then blend straight into the Arnold BP.

This is going to be all kinds of fun

[giraffe123]

Haven't gotten mine yet and now I'll be out of town until early January. Just got the Phase8 as well from a different promo but haven't had the chance to review that yet.

Will definitely be back by January 5th so I will open up any packages and and get the reviews and log up asap after that

[Bruins10]

Im with everyone. No need to apologize!!!
I am grateful enough to have the oppurtunity, it does not bother me to wait an extra week or two

[MDBallDAY]

Like the rest will be out of town until the 2nd or so. I can give the address I'll be staying at if that makes it easier as far as getting a log up quicker?
