i train in my garage most of the time and temps have been in the 100s lately..... even with fans going the garage was miserably hot today. i was tempted to blow off training but thought better of it...whew. no PR's today but i was just happy to get a decent session in considering the conditions. i usually train in the evenings but with temps like this im going to have to switch to AM's before work.

[Marshall28]

What's the recommendation - 3 months and then cycle off?

Technically no need to cycle but personally I like to so you then you can see the effects of the product vs not the product.

todays high will be 106 so i hit the garage at 600am and it was still quite warm! had a good session tho with great endurance and focus, its so nice when the MMC is strong on a back day. you can feel the target muscles engaging and really isolate them!. hit all my sets and goals....Clear Muscle still performing like a champ.

I used to hate sweating while lifting but I am beginning to not mind it as much.

I used to hate sweating while lifting but I am beginning to not mind it as much.

maintaining weight right around 180 lbs but feel like my strength is ticking up. im thinking about upping my calories 200-300 and see if i can take advantage of some Clear Muscle gains in the form of additional lean mass.....seems to me like the perfect time for a mini lean bulk!

[Marshall28]

As I mentioned in another log I vote for more calories

[cory2731]

tried something new today in Landmine Squats. basically a front squat using the landmine, slightly different ROM tho. went a bit lighter and tried too take them ATG. worked the quads hard and really felt the isolation...i think Clear Muscle recovery benefits are going to be put to the test!

[Marshall28]

I have faith CM will deliver the recovery you need.

[Marshall28]

You feel like the ab work has lead to a stronger core ?

[cory2731]

You feel like the ab work has lead to a stronger core ?

back to the gym after dealing with some family health issues, hopefully they are all taken care of. todays workout was strong...went heavy and still hit all my reps and sets. started using a new Pre and really like it...lets see if it continues to deliver without increasing dosage.

[Marshall28]

how much weight you add with your pull ups ?

[anandagirl]

Sorry to hear about the family health issues but yeah for some PR's and hitting all your reps!!

[cory2731]

how much weight you add with your pull ups ?

i usually start with about 30 lbs and then go up to 45-50

[cory2731]

Sorry to hear about the family health issues but yeah for some PR's and hitting all your reps!!

thanks, appreciate it!

[cory2731]

7/10 weight 178.1...slowly inching upwards which is exactly what i want. going to maintain my slight caloric excess, feeling stronger with the added calories and of course, Clear Muscle. todays Chest/Tri session is always on of my favorites, i really enjoy all the movements and get a great overall pump!

warmups
Weighted Dips at various angles 6 sets of 10
Dumbbell Press 5 sets of 10
Dumbbell Flys 4 sets of 10

Seated Dumbbell Tricep Extentions 5 sets of 10

[Marshall28]

Chasing the pump!!!

[cory2731]

[cory2731]

7/14...weighed in at 178.2. slowly but surely ticking upwards!

Leg Day

warmups
romanian deadlift....3 sets of 10
dumbbell walking lunge.....4 sets, 10 steps per side
leg press....4 sets of 10
standing calf raise....4 sets of 10
seated calf raise....4 sets of 10

did this workout yesterday and went fairly heavy but nothing out of control. for some reason im REALLY feeling it today, particularly in the glutes! ive been spending the morning trying to figure out what i did different or out of the ordinary and cant think of a thing, i done this same workout numerous times in the past. guess its just one of those things that happen on occasion. id hate to think what id be feeling if i wasnt using Clear Muscle!

[Marshall28]

Looks like a killer session. I haven't trained my calves in ages lol

[cory2731]

7/17....weight 178.2...no change

Shoulders and Abs

warmup sets
Military Press... 5 sets of 10
Handstand Pushups...5 sets of 10
Dumbbell lateral raise... 4 sets of 10
Barbell front raise.... 4 sets of 10

Roman Chair Hyperextension... 6 sets of 10
Roman Chair crunch.....6 sets of 10

had an early am session today, trying to beat the heat! Military Presses are a lift that ive struggled with in the past, worked on my form today and felt like i made some definite progress. i think part of my problem has been trying to go too heavy, too soon. Clear Muscle continues to deliver great recovery and strength benefits, gonna be a super sad day when this trial is over.

[anandagirl]

Looking strong in here!

Yes, when the CM log is done, I will be sad

[Marshall28]

Glad to hear you folks are enjoying CM.

[cory2731]

Glad to hear you folks are enjoying CM.

that, my friend, is a total understatement

barbell row...5 sets of 12

i really like working my back and my focus seem to be improved lately. this makes the MMC easier and the targeting of the lats improved. dont know if CM helps out here but it surely doesnt hurt the process. going to be heading to the coast this weekend and maybe get in some much needed beach time!

[cory2731]

had a great time at the coast. spent the whole weekend eating fresh fish and lounging around! time to get back to work
