AJ's Making Gainz with Clear Muscle

[AJohnson25]

That shoveling is a good workout in itself. I'm glad Indiana didn't get hit like that. I freakin' hate snow.

Me too! Makes me wonder why I live in Maine lol Final total of 27 inches, another 12+ storm predicted for the weekend Lots of cardio
Got some extra shoveling in this morning and will hit the gym this afternoon! Think it will be Bis and Tris!

Summary:

Feeling pretty good today! Recovery was good from Monday, Had no DOMs. Ended up at the gym later than I was expecting but it ended up working out, gym was mostly empty by the time that I got there. Workout felt pretty easy today, probably could have increased the weight a little. Finished the day by more shoveling more this evening, as well as resistance walking trying to get to a dryer vent in the snow haha. Good mix of cardio and weights Overall can't complain!

Summary:

This was from yesterday. This was the first time doing legs in what feels like a long ass time. Felt pretty good, even if it was only leg press and hack squat machine. Muscles felt a little tight at the beginning of the session. Did some extra stretching for about 10 minutes after a couple warmup sets. Recovery has been great. Shoulders had a good pump, which I haven't had in quite a while. I did have a difficult time walking back from the gym haha

Thanks man! Last day with squats or deads was 1/17 but specific leg day was probably 6-8 weeks ago.

Sorry for the delay on log from yesterday, tried this morning but looks like BB was hacked...

Felt pretty good from doing it, upped the numbers slightly on a couple exercises. Recovery last week was great. Had some cardio in during the weekend with more shoveling and moving boxes. Went into this workout slightly sleep deprived from watching the Patriots kick ass overall I felt it went well, didn't seem to struggle on the last reps towards the end of the workout that some times happens.

Yesterdays workout was well needed after work haha Gave me a lot more motivation to hit the weights. besides the fact that who doesn't like bis and tris day Felt great afterwards, managed to get a decent pump. Happy with the PR on Rope Pulldowns. Recovery from monday was good. I did end up doing some steady state cardio on the treadmill Tuesday. Nothing fancy just a 20mins at 5.5mph. No Sciatic pain in a week or so, So pumped!

I ended up doing cardio this morning about 20 mins of HIIT on treadmill then rough day at work so did another 15mins of steady state cardio when I got home tonight.

Summary:

Wednesday's workout! Gym was pretty good on Wednesday, Had another early morning session and ended up with the gym to myself. This felt like a really short workout but had a decent pump. Work has been hectic this week so this was well needed to clear my head. I've been taking the clear muscle about 20-30 mins before workout, started getting up an extra 10 mins earlier. Second dose with lunch then third with supper. Its slightly later than I wanted to but easier to remember when working late. DOMs are non-existent and feel 100% everyday!

[changemyoil66]

An empty gym means you can make all the loud noises for grunting you want!!!! The power once went out at my gym while I was leg pressing. So I was screaming every rep. And I managed to do 2 more than normal. Grunting helps, but is frowned upon unless its your last 1-2 reps or your 1 rep max.

From Friday, Went away for the weekend with spotty internet connection! Leg day was pretty good, Had a decent pump but nothing spectacular. Maxed out the leg press, which isn't saying much so adding more volume. Was worried about DOMs this weekend because didn't take the time to adequately stretch but didn't have any problems. Went back to Seated presses to get a good pump and stretch in shoulders. Got in some extra cardio this weekend, more snow so more shoveling haha. Hitting the gym later this afternoon for some chest and back!

The best part of my day was getting my third month of the Clear Muscle in the mail! So happy to see that sitting at my door. Recovery was good today, even with extra cardio. Got home for work and went for a run with varying speeds but did some sprints at 9.5mph for 30-45seconds. Felt pretty good leaving the gym!

Recovery good was from Monday. Walked about 15 mins on the treadmill after that and about 20 mins of shoveling. Felt like a pretty good workout afterwards! Did about 30 mins of cardio on the elliptical today. Varied the resistance but got a pretty good burn by the end.

I did various forms of cardio from moving boxes from attic down two floors and then shoveling for a half hour or so! Hope everyone had a good weekend.

You really can't ask for more than maintained strength on a cut man. Keep up the good work man.

Wasn't actually trying to cut haha Need to start eating more I recommended it to my brother in law before his next powerlifting meet, could easily make weight with this without losing strength!

Did light cardio on Tuesday mostly just moving boxes….got some impromptu deadlifts in haha. I'll put up Wednesdays log up later today.

Recovery from Monday was good and felt great yesterday from this workout! Did some cardio with HIIT on the treadmill yesterday morning for about 15 minutes then 10 mins stretching. Didn't manage to hit the gym this afternoon because I ended up closing on a house, so getting my "deadlifts" in by lifting boxes and couches haha Unofficial workouts will happen this weekend

Ended up getting in some cardio today with some snow shoveling haha about 20 mins or so and will get in some extra shoveling tomorrow as well I felt great this morning!
