Good stuff man. New Veins are awesome

Yeah for sure, saw my first front delt vein yesterday!

[Illadelphia]

Cav,

If you have time, try to implement a little fst-7 training. The pumps get to the point they are painful...

I can only imagine...I've tried fst-7 without any pre-workout or pump product and almost exploded. I'm kinda scared lol. Will for sure be in one my next workouts.

A similar high volume routine is what I was doing last summer when you first sent me samples of vengeance and I bought a tub.

Ive actually found I get my best pumps from DC and lower volume training. I was using ICE+ when doing DC training and couldnt believe it. DC in general, regardless of supplementation has warranted me the best gains and surprisingly enough more "intense" intra workout pumps.

It does seem the amount of volume one can handle is very individual though.

[CAV40]

Today(DAY 15) is my day off. I got out of classes early so chilled in the sunshine for a while. Felt real good. Back to the gym tm to try and rep those 115 lb DB's!

[cultivateIT]

Solid progress brotha!
Looking lean and mean.
How much you weighing in the pics?

[CAV40]

Thanks man,
Yea loving the Vengeance right now. Definitely beyond my expectations.

I'm at about 174 in the pics. I was closer to 171-172 at the beginning of the month. Been bulking just above maintenance. It's a good way for me, as I'm at the beach quite a bit during summer weekends and having some abs year round is pretty nice.

[cultivateIT]

Nice.

Keep up the good work! It's obviously paying off many folds.
You can see the work and dedication you put in. Vengeance FTW.

[purts]

Like the volume of those workouts. Good updated pictures up there too.

[CAV40]

Like the volume of those workouts. Good updated pictures up there too.

Yea chest and Leg days tend to be heavy lower volume days for me. Been like that for a while now. Back and Shoulers are a little higher volume as my joints usually feel better when I keep the reps and volume higher and a bit lighter.

[Illadelphia]

Back looks very good. I didn't realize you were that defined for your size. I'd have put your weight at 180-185


Not sure what you cash situation looks like now, but I'd love to see you run XFactor Advanced on the tail end of this. I think you'd be able to hit some serious #'s.

[CAV40]

Day 19 was shoulders
-My highest volume day so I didn't keep tabs on all my exercises. Getting back to my PR for shoulder press btw. Got 205 X 8 on the Smith Shoulder Press. Next workout i'm gonna get back to that 210 mark.

155 X 12
Hammer Strength Reverse Grip Pulldowns
195 X 12
195 X 12

[purts]

No stress with deads #. If you are training bodybuilding-style, you don't have to care that much about how heavy you lift (well not really but...). It's all about stimulation. Doing them at the end of a back workout is even more brutal.

Funny thing is, after no deads for about the last 6 months those light ones actually got me pretty good. Planning on moving the weight up very slowly over the next few months.

Instead of moving the weight right away, knock out a few sets of 135's on Dl for 25 reps.


I found that when I used to do 225X40. One set. I'd get pumps I couldn't get doing 405X10
