Day 25


Supplements
PhosphaMuscle - 5 gel caps
NOX - 1 scoop


Chest


Incline DB Press

Set 1 - 110 x 5
Set 2 - 105 x 5
Set 3 - 105 x 5
Set 4 - 105 x 5
Set 5 - 105 x 5

Set 5 - 85 x 10

Incline DB Flyes
Set 1 - 45 x 10
Set 2 - 45 x 10
Set 3 - 45 x 10

Observations
* Definitely wasn't in the right mental state this morning. Another bad night of sleeping. A lot going on right now.
* Wanted to go up another 5 lbs on Inclines. Did the first set with 110s, but knew I wouldn't be able to get 6 sets. Dropped down to 105s. Not complaining though. Don't think I've ever used 110s on Inclines.
* Thought I repeated what I did on the previous workout, but when I looked back, it appears that I went up 5 lbs on the flat DBs. They were definitely a grind this morning and I just chalked it up to not being there mentally. Nice to see that it was because of a weight increase.
* Flyes finished me off and chest was extremley pumped.
* I am quite surprised how the last several sessions I haven't felt like I was in the zone, but I have continued to increase in my strength. It's almost like my body always has a little bit more in the tank, even if I've mentally checked out.
* Lower back is still a bit sore from Deads on Saturday.
* My forearms felt like they were separating from the bone today. Never really experienced something like that before. It felt almost the same as shin splints do. I'm assuming it was from the deadlifting as well.
* Appreciate everyone who stopped in as of late.

I ve had that, just need a little rest for the forearms

110 s are legit

[cdevocht]

Woo 110's! That's the way to be.

[ahawk01]

Great presses. 110s are .tough to get moving flat let alone incline

Enjoy your holiday weekend my man

Thanks Carl!

Thanks Josh. Meant to post yesterday, but ran out of time.

Thanks guys. 110s were a bit awkward and I'm starting to have pain and stiffness in my hands. Not sure if they are related or if im just getting old.

Midpoint Review

Passing the midway point (28 days) in this log, I figured I would go ahead and post some of my thoughts and observations so far. I will keep this relatively short and leave the more detailed review for the end of the log.

PhosphaMuscle being taken every day has posed no problem for me. 5 gel caps, first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach has caused absolutely no GI or stomach issues. You don't have to take it this way, it's just easier for me as I lift first thing in the morning.

* In the gym, there have been times when I noticed more of a "pump" when lifting, but not necessarily during every workout.
* No noticeable changes in energy or endurance during workouts.
* Hunger/appetite is definitely increased. Most noticeable during the first two weeks. Also more noticeable on lifting days vs non-lifting days. Even on non-lifting days, hunger was elevated more than normal.
* Strength gains have been rising with each workout. 4 weeks in a row, I've been able to increase weights being used on all main lifts. This has been the most impressive observation to me so far.
* Recovery has been ok. Seemed better the first couple of weeks. Although, with the gains in strength I've been experiencing, I'm not surprised that recovery has been more of a struggle lately.

To this point, I've been very impressed with PhosphaMuscle. The strength gains have been beyond what I expected. Looking forward to the next 4 weeks.

Nice mid point review

Day 33


I missed posting a couple of workouts from last week. Instead of going back and creating an extremely long post, I'm just going to skip them and move on with today's workout.


Supplements
PhosphaMuscle - 5 gel caps
NOX - 1 scoop


Chest

Flat Bench
Set 1 - 230 x 5
Set 2 - 230 x 5
Set 3 - 230 x 5
Set 4 - 230 x 5
Set 5 - 230 x 5
Set 6 - 230 x 5

Incline DB Press
Set 1 - 95 x 5
Set 2 - 100 x 5
Set 3 - 105 x 5
Set 4 - 105 x 5
Set 5 - 105 x 5
Set 6 - 105 x 5

Incline DB Flyes
Set 1 - 50 x 10
Set 2 - 50 x 10
Set 3 - 50 x 10

Observations
* All the incline benches were taken, so instead of waiting around doing nothing, I decided to do some flat bench. Haven't really done any kind of flat bench in probably 6 months? Didn't feel too bad. Could have went heavier but wasn't going to ask anyone for a spot.
* After Flat Bench, was a bit unsure how inclines would go. Was able to work up to the 105's again. Felt pretty good.
* I seem to be having some issues in my hands lately. A lot of stiffness and pain. Not sure if it is from the heavy DBs I've been using or something unrelated. Kind of concerning, as it hasn't gone away in almost 5 days. Will keep an eye on it.
* Also have been having some pain in my back. I typically have some lower back pain from time to time, but this is a bit higher. Pretty sure this was from deads. Kind of regretting using a belt last time. Sometimes, I think it does more harm than good.
* Even with the curveball at the beginning of the workout, still pleased with the results. Still moving some good weights and not regressing.

I'm glad Phosphamuscle is working out for you. Great addition to the already popular Performance Series.

[ahawk01]

I've got to agree. I've tried so many different types of stacks. This has been my favorite supplement for building to date. I had zero expectations and I've been blown away.

[changemyoil66]

I'm in on this log. Ive never tried a PA product before, just soy lecithin. Dammit MT you have peaked my interest because seems like rdcopps and me do a similar workout routine.

Keep up the solid work RD.

Observations
* Back is continuing to tighten up. Not sure what is going on with it. Can't remember tweeking it feeling something go wrong. It has steadily gotten worse.
* Shoulders felt good. Went up on the shoulder press.
* Straight bar Upright Rows still cause a bit of pain in the elbow and shoulders. May look at eliminating this exercise. Too hard to focus on working the traps when worrying about the elbows. Might just add more sets to DB uprights. Those don't seem to bother me.
* Shoulders were pretty smoked by lateral SS. Wasn't able to add any weight this time around.

* Back has gotten worse. Having trouble taking a deep breath. Of course it is the weekend, so not going to be able to get in to see a doctor and/or chiropractor. More than likely, I will be skipping back tomorrow.

[emergency]

sorry to hear about the back brother, hopefully some foam rolling will give you some relief until you can get adjusted.

[llahhsoj]

Hopefully that back works it self out soon. Other than than, Have a great rest of the weekend!

Thanks guys. Hung on the inversion table several times over the weekend and stayed out of the gym. Back is doing a lot better. A little bit tight on the side, but much, much better then last week. Update to follow.

* Energy level was pretty good for first thing in the morning with no PWO.
* Switched up the order of exercises and went with supersets after shoulder press. Wanted to see if it made a difference in weight being used. It didn't.
* Used a narrow grip on barbell rows. Didn't have nearly the discomfort as when I used a shoulder-width grip.
* Finished with DB uprights. Similar in movement to the narrow-grip bb uprights, but oh-well.
* as stated in previous post, back is doing much better after hanging on the inversion table a couple times this weekend and staying out of the gym. Was afraid it might have been a pinched nerve or kidney stone. Looks like it might just be old age!

Smart move about moving chest. I'm getting ready to go do some here in a bit. Keep up the good work man!

hate those age pains , but looks like you still pushed threw it regardless.
