Workout Notes:
The sets on the squat were fairly easy and very clean, I am happy about that as well as my PR on the calf raise.
However, I'd like to talk about my removal of the Romanian Deadlift and replacement of it with the Good Morning.

Whilst I like the Romanian Deadlift, I feel like it was contributing to a further unsymmetrical part of my body as a whole (my Hamstring/Lower Back Strength). The Good Morning is in my opinion a better exercise in terms of hamstring isolation than the Romanian Deadlift. So given that my limiting factor is leg strength on the conventional deadlift, I figure that I SHOULD be able to increase my deadlift further by getting more work directly to my hamstring than my back.

Perhaps they're not that far away, earlier in May they figured out how to reverse the aging process in human cell lines.


Till this march I didn't have any real progression program, so I spent a week researching the various types and good examples of it and thus came up with that. Tis' pretty cool that you run a program football if you'd care to elucidate I'd be quite interested.

There is promising research in the field of anti-aging and how to make it cost effective.


Awesome leg day, now time to get a much needed rest before the next!

Awesome leg day! Whatcha got planned for today's workout? How are you liking the flavor of your products?

Today I am planning on the usual setup of presses and doing some seated strict presses.
I love the flavor of ASE with L-Glutamine, top quality flavoring there. SYN Matrix is okay - I am kind've indifferent honestly.

Notes:
This is my last high intensity day till 4 weeks from now! I will in some ways miss this kind've training however, I can't help but want to get back to my higher volume days after I recalculate my 1rms on the compounds (in 3 days when I take a rest day after which I'll proceed to calc my 1rm's and then take another rest day to recover).

I am happy that I was able to hit 115x1 given how fatigued I already was (115x1 was my previous 1rm). I can also see that I should be able to up the reps to 9 on the skull crushers not bad.

Also, since adding my flexibility routine I've noticed I've been a lot more mobile which was really needed, imo given I was stiffer than a plank of cardboard before hand. I'll continue doing so and hopefully I'll improve!

Very nice, looks like you are getting stronger!

Congrats on the seated barbell press PR! Nice job.

Nice to see you adding a flexibility routine.. It'll pay off, no doubt.

Take care, man!

[Malversation]

Explain?

I'd add an abstrix to that statement; I'll be going back to doing more higher rep (higher rep for me that's) work after these last 2 days. As my cycle will be complete (the 3 blocks of my progression).

[lowroller21212]

Congrats on the PR! progress is coming along. Ive begun adding flexibility in my training now...very recently and it relieves stress snd tension.

I dont know if you follow Elliot Hulse on youtube, the video on his flexibility stool for flexibility and the relateds are very informative.

Nice work! What's your flexibility routine like? I definitely need to get back to flexibility work!

My flexibility work consists of the following:

Spoiler!

and Post:

The first two I learned of through my research of westside for skinny bastards and they've been absolutely essential in me getting tight under the bar for squats (previously I had to take a very wide grip but it is slowly coming inward). The last I just youtubed a week ago and it's been instrumental in improving my form. It's not exactly advertised for our demographic but, I've found it works as advertised so I do recommend.

[lowroller21212]

Will check this out. Right up my alley - thanks for sharing bud.

Notes:
I stagnated on my deadlift on my first set I could've got 5 maybe, however I didn't have the energy when I mulled it over after my first set. However, Curls are now up for a 10% increase in weight (rep range is 5-10 on isos) which is some progress.. Perhaps not what I wanted but eh. On shrugs I didn't hit the full 300 for 5; my grip gave out on the first set it wasn't really a strength issue in the traps as so much as my forearms.

No problem, more flexibility (well to an extent) is never really a bad thing and a lack thereof can lead us to snap city.. Whilst I find stretching to be boring, after injuring my IT band for a week I've begun to take it a bit more seriously.

[NoCarbsNoSugar]

nice job on the PR there!

Great PR Buddy! Nice job

2 week review:
I decided before I head down to workout, I would write a small review for the products:
Taste:
The best tasting supplement I've received is the ASE by far. It tastes just like blue raspbarry punch if you put enough water in it.
SYN Matrix is okay, I am not the biggest fan of mangos but, I can't say I find the taste bad.
L-Glutamine imo is better off being mixed in with one of the 2 above given it's unflavored.

Effects:
This stack was aimed for recovery, so does it work? I think it boosts recovery enough to be slightly noticable. It won't allow you to do absolutely asinine amounts of volume, but it can slightly reduce some tension you've built up.

Overall Assessment:
I think smart training combined with a good diet and these supplements when applicable are decent enough to get that last little bit out of you, the evidence for such so far is in this log which has been documented with some good progress. I shall give another assesment 2 weeks from now and then the final one 4 weeks from now.

Temptation? I've no idea what you're on about, I was jus' having myself some homemade post-workout donuts and figured it was applicable to the log!
