Prime nutrition's Test Boost

Haha yeah front squats can be brutal and miserable. I hate them the whole time I'm doing them. But the core strength and stability they add is unreal

Felt strong on arms and shoulders gvt today

10x6 drag curls 110lbs
10x6 reverse grip bench 225 lbs

Finishers were felt raise, rear felt fly, push down machine for 3x15

Strength seems to be increasing nicely and gradually each session

How do you like reverse grip bench? I love them but I feel like when I go past a certain weight my wrists start taking a toll

Never tried that movement, I'm guess that's mainly working triceps?

[Psullivan1990]

The reverse grip definitely hits triceps but gives a killer chest pump as well. To be honest it does bother the wrists a little and the different nerves in the hand as the weight increases. I just feel the need to grip the bar slightly differently each set to avoid discomfort

Yesterday was another gvt leg day. Trainer says it was our last leg day. Just two more days left of GVT so I'm pumped about that.

Front squat 235 lbs
10x6

Leg extensions 170 lbs
10x6

Can't believe I was able to get through 10 rounds of front squats at such heavy weight. Definitely have been seeing strength increase 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Yeah... front squats, not even once (ok, I've done them a couple of times) :P

i use a variation of what I call reverse cable close grip presses...Basically they mick close grip benches but on the cable machine where you would do regular tricep pushdowns...hard to describe the movement but it is an hybrid between a reverse pushdown and a reverse close grip press.
not as brutal on the wrists

Today was our final GVT day was back and chest

Dumbbell incline press
10x6 110lb Dumbbells

Bent over rows
10x6 255lbs

Finishers were
Cable flies
Good mornings
Pull downs
All 3x15

Killer workout. Chest pump was unreal like my pecs were rock pillows if that makes any sense whatsoever.

Cannot believe how much my numbers were able to jump throughout this 10 week program of GVT in combo with Test Boost

[Psullivan1990]

So some updates... Just finished up 9 weeks of German volume training with my most recent post. So we decided to take off the weekend but I did reevaluate my body fat, weight on Saturday.

Starting GVT stats
Starting body fat % 10
Weight 198lbs

Ending GVT stats
Starting body fat % 10.5
Weight 207lbs

I did 5 weeks at 10x10
The second phase was 4 weeks 6x10 with significant increase in weight and changed the workouts

I definitely saw my weight increase more while using the test boost from prime (which I'm still finishing up)

I did also add in a more monitored diet midway through the GVT program with set macros for each training and no training days.

We started back in the gym today with a deload week. I'll put up a second post with that workouts stats
