The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

[lonniej]

Awesome log guys..great workouts. @J-Dieter, super job on your running. Sorry it took me so long to get in here..I am now subbed in and will be following along.

[KissIcon]

I just came across this thread. It is looking awdome in here. Looks like I may be able to finally pick up on some much needed info after all this time.
I have only been able to get through the first couple of pages but I am subbed in on this. I like what I see so far.

Below is a picture of my hip belt squat apparatus mention in my mast leg workout. I use a cable attaché to a "Spud Inc" made specifically for it. A normal dip belt will leave bruises on your leg.

So would you recommned Bolan? Or do you think there is a better alternative? I am a pretty light sleeper as well, I used to have to sleep with my eyes covered by a towel and ear plugs in haha. I tried ZMA in the past,but it didn't do much. I'm currently taking Higher Power GABA powder, and I'm very impressed with it. I sleep better and seem to recover much faster....do have some pretty crazy dreams though. Has anyone here tried GABA and had these same results? I read that it only works for some people....guess i'm one of the lucky ones

Just ordered Cyclo Rem GF by Infinite. John Butz claims it gives the best sleep ever and has GABA in it. You body will produce GABA with a supplement, but I forgot which one off the top of my head.

As far as Cyclo Bolan, I think it would be worth a shot. Keep in mind that there is nothing as effective as pro-hormones, which are now banned. I've never had the opportunity to try them, but from what I've heard they are VERY noticeable. Cyclo Bolan doesn't come on strong. As I mentioned, It took a week to notice much of a change, but a slight change is sometime all a guy my age needs.... I do feel a little younger - bounce in my step, so to speak with it. Since you are young, I wouldn't know or could propose how it works, plus since everyone's chemistry is different, your mileage may vary (YMMV).

[kconnell]

Nice workout bro!!!! Nice Preworkout drink you got goin on there aswell

Thanks. It really rocks. I crank the tunes (earphones) and can really zone into it. Definitely needed on leg day...

[JohnButz]

All this talk about running...


I did my first 2 miles tonight! Yessssssssssssssssss.

I'm not too sure what the time was total, but the 2nd mile was a 12minute 30 second mile. Still slow, but it's still an improvement over my last mile by 1 lousy second..rofl. But hey...it's improvement!

Did 5 minutes of stretching and about 2 minutes of a warm-up walk. Plan was to just do a mile, and I looked at my wife, who's sick and she said she felt good, so did I....so I just kept runnnnnninnnnnnnggggg.

Excellent JD!

Awesome log guys..great workouts. @J-Dieter, super job on your running. Sorry it took me so long to get in here..I am now subbed in and will be following along.

Always awesome to have you here Lonnie!

Thanks! As KC mentioned the bodygroup is also full of excellent info, particularly in the supplement information.

Good leg day! I can imagine the constant tension on those smith's are a very sweet pain!

Yeah, the Cyclo-REM GF is a great product. My schedule has gone from bad to worse, not a lot of opportunity to get a good nights sleep, but REM is saving me. I get about 5-6 hours and it is DEEP!

I'm trying to stay off ZMA as long as possible. Last night's sleep was horrible. The cyclo rem sounds great.

Will, it is really helping me a lot. When I first tried it, I did the suggested 1 scoop and I didn't notice too much benefit. When I simply went with 1 heaping scoop, it was like magic and sleep has been awesome ever since---even when I get 5 hours, it is a nice deep sleep.
