Pushing Tin - Paekakboyz Training Log

I know! we're on your next favourite bandwagon now Gagnam style!!
-
Tried the final pre-workout powder today - it was good for pump, but I didn't feel much stim. I'm going to pick up some Jacked and give that a go for a couple of weeks. I'm not too bad on workout intensity so the strength/endurance boost is really good. <br />
<br />
Rolled out - snuck out of work early so the legs and lower back got a working over. PAIN! but all for a good cause!<br />
Front squats - have been going pretty easy on these while I work on flexibility (wrist and hip flexor). Today I was feeling good so up went the weight! 640kg, 660kg, 670kg, 660kg, 640kg. Then a cheeky set of back squats at 60kg just to get that burn.<br />
Moved onto thrusters next. Still on 40kg for these puppies. My wrists were a bit sore so I struggled with the transition. Powering up and getting the bar lifting off my chest was ok, got a little bit ragged near the end of each set though - too much thinking about hand/wrist position I think. Sets of 6, 6, 4, 4.<br />
Weighted dips next. Had a 20kg and 25kg dumbbell to hang off the chain belt. 620kg, 625kg, 625kg, 6*20kg. Then an unweighted set till failure. Felt light as a feather but then strength just went. Managed 9 and a half reps.<br />
Super sets of tricep kickbacks (while lying on the ground) and hammer curls. 12.5kg for the triceps and 17.5kg for the hammers. 3 sets of 6 reps.<br />
I was in and out of the gym within 50min or so - pretty happy with how hard I was working.<br />
<br />
Lined up workouts for 4/5 days this week. Including a PT session on Thursday evening, nothing like paying to have your ass kicked!! -
Ahhh, that sounds like a plan. Will take a wander down the road to the supplement shop tomorrow - I will def give all three a decent go (all in the name of science!!). Will rotate through a period of each but I will try test pump and jack3d together as well. That will be a mean ride I reckon. Jack3d def gave me a mad buzz and test pump was pretty good today. Much appreciated JK!!
-
whoops! I meant one at a time - kind of testing each out over a period of time to see how they go. Ha ha I agree all three at once would be overkill!
-
Nah I understood. I just dont rate test pump that highly. Its ok but better stuff out there.<br />
<br />
Also, if you are going to buy rage, pretty much the only place you can get it is at http://www.bodybuilding.co.nz/ as its made by the guys there.<br />
<br />
I've tried most of the pre-workouts available and some do bugger all, some give crazzzzy dreams, and others give mean crashes. Takes a bit of trail and error to find what works best for ya. -
Shotgun seems to have pretty good prices - I will see if I can be cheeky and score some samplers tomorrow at that shop. I want to start working on leaning down rather than bulking up further - like you said it's just trial and error till you find something that works. But I can see this really firing me up on those low motivation days (aka winter!!).
-
Also try [url="http://www.dailysupps.co.nz"]www.dailysupps.co.nz[/url] They have some awesome deals. Their stock is limited, but what they do have they are one of the cheapest websites out there (due to that they're still relatively new)<br />
<br />
What Pre work out do you rate the best JK? -
Dailysupps and also nutritiondeal.co.nz are both good but its parallel imported stuff so sometimes older versions or dated stock. Gotta watch their protein (flogging off old myofusion at the mo....has a bad rep for giving the runs!) but their pre-workout deals are usually pretty good.<br />
<br />
<br />
Chubby - I really rate BSN Hyper FX --> [url="http://xplosivsupplements.co.nz/bsn-hyper-fx.html"]http://xplosivsupple...n-hyper-fx.html[/url] Tried it a while back when I was going through a bit of a flat spot in terms of finding pre-workouts and found it brilliant. Only issue is that you cant shake this stuff as its foams - strictly stir/swirl only otherwise it gets very messy! That websites pretty good too. Cheap and always throws in a few samples for ya to try out. And free shipping too but thats a given now days.<br />
<br />
Cellucor C4 is pretty good too but i find it a bit muddy if ya know what I mean. Not really a clean energy/focus. -
I've only tried super pump max which I find works well but I want to try something else and allow the body to cycle the max out of the system for a change. I brought some of that discounted protein today from daily supps so will be interesting to see how it goes. I've had my last couple lots through them coz I'm a tight arse but want myofusion and have found it ok. Time will tell
-
I got vanilla. I've previously tried chocolate and strawberry both of which are really nice. I did find the original myofusion was thicker and tastier than the probiotic version. I'm quite keen to try that elite version. I take my protein with balance recovery stack which works really well. And due to its berry flavour should go well with the vanilla
-
JK, did you say you had mad dreams on some of these supplements!? I was bloody sleepwalking last night lol!! Could be coincidence but I might give test pump a rest for a while!<br />
<br />
Didn't seem to get any similar reaction from Rage or Jack3d... fingers crossed! -
I have a history of sleepwalking so need to dodge anything that encourages that kind of activity ha ha<br />
<br />
Last night I woke up when the wife asked why I'd stolen her pillow. I'd taken it and my own pillow and put them by the front door... I think I was getting ready for work and thought the pillows were my training bag!! So not more test pump for me... I didn't have crazy dreams etc on Rage or Jack3d so I'll stick with them for the moment. -
just stopped by my local supplement shop. Got three more types of pre-workout powders and two blue pills of a new type of supplement they are selling... I'm glad he gave me a shopping bag as I had all these little baggys of powder!<br />
I got N.O Xplode, Rush, and SP Max. <br />
<br />
I promise I won't take it all before tonight's workout!
