Good session today felt well recovered and good to go!


My supplementation at the moment is really aiding my recovery, using trib, zma, horny goat weed for test production and using leucine and hmb during the day post meals. I am also using more carbs in my shakes than before and I feel this is making a difference.

Im dubious about horny goat weed for test tbh, I know its meant to be good for libido, but not necessarily through increased testosterone..

Bench has come on well!

LOL you're just happy somebody is worse at benching than you are.

Good show Coop.

lol, fuck you.

Bench is my worst lift by far! But its improving lol

Todays session was a tough one, decided to put squats and deads in the same session as to ensure i am fatigue free by the end of the week.

Good session, got a very easy day tomorrow so my CNS can get a rest.

Yeh iv found it really useful and makes a big difference.

Nice squattin' bretherin!

How did you find stacking the two big lifts? Deadlifts suffer much?

Pah! Ignore them. Who cares about benching when frankly the other lifts just blow all the competition out the water. I am loving reading your journal...I feel lazy as hell in comparison and it's a great motivator!

where the fuck are you training to be super setting squats with hurdle jumps?! I like sound of that place!

Thanks GB although my reasoning behind my poor bench is my long arms, but hey its improving so cant complain!

@Ash- its a EIS gym/uni scholarship gym which is only allows uni scholars and EIS people can train in although theres only two people who really use it, myself included. I was the only person in the gym today!

@K-dog- Didnt feel that bad tbh, got out some decent weights on both and form was ok. Just got back from sprints and sprinted fairly well so it wasnt too bad. Easy day tomorrow though!

Long Arms = slightly wider grip, elbows tucked in.

Nice one Alex, will try that!

I thought horny goat weed was a pisstake, then I discovered it was real. :O

lol you never guess how it got its name?!...

cdv, yeh when i did them this way i didn't feel like it made me weaker really, it's just bloody hard work, psychologically especially.

Horny goat weed? For real? WTF? Does it make men spotty the way trib does, cause you can get as horny as hell but if you're spotty mcspottysome that will keep the ladies at bay.

CDV....I WANT your gym!

Moving into more power based sessions now but still keeping a strength building day on session 1.

Aim of this is to build strength speed so the squats were about quarter level but explosive and fast on the concentric. It was a time limit of 10 seconds and tried to get as many in that time as possible.
