@MN5 far out. That's some time capsule shit bro!!
I can only assume you were too busy partying to join the discussion haha

when i had to stack on weight for rugby i used to do blocks of it in the off season. It's a fair fucking way back now (ie probably older than that thread that was just dug up) but i seem to remember having to be pretty strict about booze and caffeine?
Worked though. I think.

i didn't drink anywhere near as much coffee then. And was motivated enough to get off the beer. but yeah, it sucked.

I do think like anything much of it comes down to the individual and his/her metabolism, genetic makeup etc.
Much like the bullshit pre workout supplements I used to get off my mate when he ran the store in town. Some of them literally made my skin prickle but one in particular made me feel like I could have shoulder pressed a car.
I think it got made illegal. Stink.

@MN5 that sort of stuff is still around. Beta something is the stuff that gives you the tingles, but it does zero for performance aside from knowing it's taken effect. The other ingredients give you the grunt.
We find C4 works well, but JackeD was the old school go-to. You could easily go clubbing on that shit. Pure rocket fuel ha ha. Pretty sure it had that old night and day cold medicine stuff in it.

I think it was called the Curse from memory ?

Damn, the fitness threads go way back! Some long forgotten names there. Plenty of eager starts.

@Rancid-Schnitzel ha ha and plenty of dreams!!
Legs last night. Hip niggle has settled but still searching for an actual cure... if that is possible. We ended up having a great yarn and got some pointers from one of our trainer bros. He's had a lot of hip issues so is very clued up.
He made a great point about mobility versus flexibility. The former is ROM where you are actively engaging muscles etc, while the latter is being able to passively get into a position. His example was the renowned 'Asian squat' which is generally passive when people are sitting on their heels, versus your ideal ass-to-grass squat where you want the same position but have everything firing.
So he took us through a bunch of movements where you'd get into position then test your level of engagement. Could you keep that position once you had to actively engage etc. Bloody hard stuff and wow it shows things up very swiftly!
So a bunch of stuff for us to try out on hip mobility etc. Fun times!
Actual workout was a solid warm up, light back squats - working up to 4 sets of 6 at 100kg. Nice and steady pace. Then yoke front squats for 3 sets. Then some KB goblet squats. Then we did a cable sprint type thing. Cable attached at your ankle then kicking out like the start of a sprint. That was good for testing stability and no after effects on the hip today... at least so far!!

Solid sesh tonight. Y and Ts after a light warm up.
Strict widegrip pressing up to 50kg, sets of 6-8. Military press up to 70kg, sets of 6.
DB one armed row and four press superset. 3 rounds, 8 reps each arm with 30kg DB.
Seated close grip row. Sets of 12 up to 75kg.
Cable rear delt pulls. 3 sets. Pain and pump!! -
Off the chain tonight lads. Training Wed-Fri due to work and fam commitments so we hit the pre-workout and started our creatine cycle tonight. Man, not sure if it's placebo and/or initial benefits but smoked some PB's on bench tonight. Oh, and my wrist is much improved, probably 95% with just a tiny ache when stretching it in one direction. Used wrist wraps for all our bench tonight just to keep it safe tho.
Warm up sets of 10 reps at 60kg, 80kg and 100kg. Then 10 at 110kg (PB), 5 at 120kg (PB), then 110 for 9 with a spot on the last rep.
Moved to incline press after that. 60kg for 10, 80kg for 10, then 100kg for 5 to finish up.
DB fly and light bench super set next. 14kg DBs and 60kg on bench. 12 reps in flies then 15 reps on bench. Two times through. Well and truly pumped after that!
Still feel like I had gas in the tank but all the pre-workout unce had been tapped out (phew). Back sitting at 105 as I've been a tad slack with eating. Cold weather makes me yearn for pastries lol, and a few weeks of illness in the family have meant things have been super busy. But all getting back on track now which is cool.
Expecting a wee bit of weight gain with the creatine but hopefully the majority is muscle. Cranking back into the fasting so still looking to drop weight as we try out creatine.

Backed up last nights efforts with a solid back session. Definitely felt much better than usual today after last nights bench session. Was feeling super swole and while I've got some DOMS incoming everything felt just a bit fresher today.
Y and T's - 2 sets of 10 with 4kg DB
Strict wide-grip press. Two sets at 30kg, then double sets of 6 at 40kg, and 60kg.
Push press on wide grip. 5 reps at 70kg then another 5 at 80kg.
Military press. 40kg for 10, 50kg for 10, 60kg for 8, 70kg for 5, then 80kg for 2.
Seated close-grip row. 3 sets of 10-12, then a drop set starting with the full stack for 4, dropping 2-3 plates per round and building up to around 8-12 reps as the weight got lighter.
Seated DB shoulder press. Started with 24kg DB's but my delts were cooked by this point. Hit 10 on that first set then dropped back to 20kg for the last two set - 10 reps each for those.Hitting a bunch of mobility stuff and arms tomorrow. 3 days in a row is always fun times!
Back in the 104's today. Even with a big effort to drink way more water to ensure I get the most out of the creatine we are taking. -

Mean hit out tonight. Stuck to the creatine and had a night off preworkout. Big chest sesh focusing on biddies with some accessories.
Y and Ts then set shoulders.
Bench warm up was sets of 10 at 60kg and 80kg. Working sets were five sets of 100kg for 10. Managing each set on a single breath. Taking a breath mid-set seems to mess with my set up. Well pleased with that volumeIncline bench next. 60kg for 10, then 70kg for 8, 80kg for 6. Then 60kg for 19.
Epic pump after all that. Really getting the hang of engaging my lats on incline, slowly learning the movement!
