Relaunching Using ROCKET SCIENCE to OPUS the MAGNUM.....ya that sounds right

[JohnKahhat]

Made it look really easy with that lift. Great work. And it's always nice to find a cop with a sense of humor. Good stuff.

i would've hit 255 if I didn't go for 275 twice. lol.

[JohnKahhat]

Yesterday I went to the gym. Kinda felt "weezy" but went anyways. I was lifting for a bit but then decided to do cardio with my girlfriend instead because I was feeling a little drowzy/weezy and wanted to just sweat it out. Probably was a bad choice. I kept coughing when I got home and was up alot of the night. Went to the docs today and she said I have a respiratory infection. Got albuterol treatment while I was there and got some antibiotics. going to take yet another break from the gym. I hope it's only a few days :/ my immune sucks dick this year.

Hope you feel better.

I don't know what it is, but it seems like it's been going around here as well. Just all the sickness in the air.

probably the drastic climate change puts our body it a state more prone to sickness.

[JohnKahhat]

should be back at it tomorrow everyone.

[B Con]

should be back at it tomorrow everyone.

Very nice. Do work.

So it was dumb of me to lift because I have a respiratory infection. I felt like it was getting better but I have since taken 2 steps back. couldn't stop coughing after wards all the way through the next day.

but if anyone says opus doesn't give you a good pumps. This was my pump after my workout.

[Daemonium]

Jesus volume.. And yes, Opus = mega swole

[B Con]

Looking swole. Great work.

[JohnKahhat]

respiratory infection spread to lower lungs as well. I can't talk without losing my breath. symptoms got worse and new symptoms occurred. went to the docs again and got more treatment, and stronger scripts. She also sent me to get a chest xray. This **** suckss.

[Daemonium]

Get better brother.

[JohnKahhat]

still sick guys. shooting for Saturday.

[B Con]

Rest up and get better. Be sure to get plenty of fluids.

Well i tooka last minute road trip because i needed to get the hell away from everything. Going to see a buddy up in south carolina. Then head to tennessee. Brought the rocket science and opus so if im up for lifting will log while im out and about

[JohnKahhat]

sorry I have been MIA. Been through a lot with being sick then, having a seperate health scare, and my girlfriend and I breaking up......Maybe i jynxed it. but will update everything tonight.

[B Con]

Take you time and take some time to yourself if you need it. Sometimes life happens and we all understand.

[B Con]

Hope everything is going better.

[JohnKahhat]

Hope everything is going better.

ya man it has. Sorry I haven't updated. Will start up again.

[JohnKahhat]

so Everything is "better", not fixed yet but I'm back now. Ordered more opus and rocket science So I will run this log a bit longer since it was a little shopping with me being sick. then personal issues. I weigh 191lbs now but my strength is still there for the most part.

so I decided to kinda switch up my routine yet again. Yes I know I'm undecisive but if you stop enjoying the gym it's time to change it up. I basically just am going with how I feel. I get bored of routines so Now there will be weight moving days and some where there will be hypertrophy and some with a mixture of both. whatever I feel is right.

so yesterday my routine was

swell from the workout


My chest has been the biggest problem with keeping my strength up. This is due to my lack of parter and I can't force reps. with shoulders legs and back you can get by with at least attempting an extra rep and failing won't be bad since there's safety bars. but with bench I don't like risking it. 2 scoops of opus and 1 cap of rocket science. anyone else notice they sweat more with these products btw????

shoulder had a little t=weak in it so I stopped

2 scoops of opus and 3 caps of rs. Gave me a really good amount of energy. Was a tad hung over from the night before, but still pulled through. Lifts should have been more but the tweak in my shoulder was bothering. still felt great and sweat my ass off lol







Monday my mom accidently RAN OVER MY FOOT. nothing too serious, 3 middle toes have hairline fractures, so I have been staying off it. Was super worried. I can still lift just need to wrap up the toes.

going to be back at it tomorrow. sorry about the spaces between workout days. I have been extremely busy and still trying to figure things out with my ex so sometimes I space on the log.

[Daemonium]

Big update, looking huuge man.

Sh!tty about the foot!

and I could imagine sweating more while using Rocket Science, although the hydration complex in Opus may help counteract some of the water loss and keep your electrolytes in balance, so they make a good combo.
