Nice work Marshall and glad to hear your back is getting better.

[Marshall28]

It's because we are old men

Nice work Marshall and glad to hear your back is getting better.

Thanks bro. I am most excited to know it's not serious. Now I just can't hurt it again

Shoulder days are never really exciting, but I always leave the gym with a nice pump. I was definitely happy with the rep PR on OHP, but even happier with all the dips. I've shied away from them recently as they sort of irritated my shoulder, but today I concentrated on keeping my elbows back and they felt quite good. Unfortunately, this gym doesn't have a dip belt, so I just did a lot of reps.

My back is quite sore (in a good way) from yesterday's workout...and I'm scheduled to do deads again with my brother in about 53 hours...

[Marshall28]

Nice job on the rep PR. Your strength across the board is going up. ST and XF are doing their thing for sure. What are L raises? Also, no side laterals or shrugs?

DB L Raises...or at least what I call DB L Raises are the first part of what this guy is doing:

[Marshall28]

^^^^Interesting. Looks more like a warm up type exercise.

The bottle says to cease taking it after 50 days. Is that 50 days of continuous use? I've been taking 5-6 caps about 4 days a week for the last 4 weeks. I'm asking because I'm having great results with it and I'd like to continue using it through the end of Macenko (roughly 6 more weeks).

So that'd be roughly 10-11 weeks, 70-77 days...but only taking it ~4 days a week. Thoughts?

The bottle recommendations are all based around 50 day ED dosing. The reason being that a long while back 50 days was what the FDA tested when giving ArA GRAS approval for being in baby formula.

For those using the workout days only dosing, they tend to dose it for 50 workout days rather than 50 consecutive days.

Excellent! Thank you for the quick response.

Today was workout #20, so I guess I have 30 more workouts to kill it with XFO

Ben - are you doing your BB OHP standing or seated? In the squat rack?

I do them standing once in a while in the squat rack and set the safeties about shoulder height, but in general I prefer DB presses. I like to clank the DB's together loudly and make a big commotion.

I am pretty sure he does them standing. Likewsie, I do them standing as well for my "main" shoulder press. I also will do seated and DB's just for fun.

[Marshall28]

Sloop - You have any black cats v2 I could sample out I would be more than happy to trade/pay for a few pills. Ben is enjoying some and he won't share.

Standing in a squat rack. I usually only do DBs when the squat rack is full or when I have a spotter available. I find I am better at getting the correct "depth" with a BB rather than DBs.

Truth. I only have 25 caps and they're all for meeeeeeeeee *evil grin*

Do I do a lite back workout today since I skipped it Sunday? No deads just some lite rows other movemetns just to test my back out? It's feeling much better. Thoughts? Or do I rest and just wait till Friday when I am supposed to do back next?

Wouldn't push it if you're not 100% confident. And if you're asking a forum, I would say you're not 100% :P

Better to be safe than pull your back doing accessories.

I feel pretty much 100% except I don't think I am ready for DLs. I will hold off and just wait till Friday. No sense of rushing.

You could just do a bunch of machine work. Pull downs, reverse grip pulldowns, rowing machine, stuff like that.



What do you pseudo-bulkers think about ihop? Another eating challenge in the works? A new one just opened up a couple miles from my work, I need a reason to stop in for breakfast some morning..

Does iHop have an all you can eat pancakes opition? If so, that could be epic. I have never been to iHop before.

Sometimes they do have that. Ihop is great.

Yeah if you're not ready for DL's then I wouldn't aggravate it any more than necessary, especially since you'll only have a couple of days for recoup should something occur.

[TheMatzah]

Ihop = epic poop after

Now I am interested even more.

I dont think so, but they do have fatty mcfatty choices like "NY Cheesecake panacakes"

The Steak & Shake across the street from my office has all you can eat pancakes for like $3 or $4 though.

Nice. A bar in MPLS has late night all you can eat pancakes starting at like 11. I think it's only 4 or 5 bucks. Nothing better than eating a few hundred grams of sugar after a few jack and cokes.

[TheMatzah]

Now I am interested even more.

fetish?

search YouTube for that but keep it off these forums.

I won't mention to Marshall the amount of poop I am generating right now with Chipolte Burrito and Chips...
