Pushing Tin - Paekakboyz Training Log
-
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! -

Pussy -
Good stuff mate.<br />
<br />
From my experience NO Xplode tastes like ass (or what I assume ass to taste like)<br />
BPI Rush - is pretty dam good. Should do you well on stim and pump.<br />
SP Max - been around a while but still delivers the goods. Pretty similar to the effect Rage gives.<br />
<br />
The blue pills will be Detonate which is a thermogenic meaning you'll sweat like crazy and probably have appetite surpressed a bit. Its great stuff but probably not really what you are after. Only need to take 1 of them at a time and best in the morning. -
Just knocked back some Rush! off to the gym shortly - should be fun.<br />
<br />
The guy said those blue pills are great for days with low motivation - and spot on in terms of your description JK (he said they are kind of like E!) so that'll be fun to try ; ) -
ok, Rush is gooood! a solid stim for quite a while and definitely a pump. Had a mean workout last night<br />
<br />
Chest and back yesterday<br />
Y and T extensions = 3 sets of 6 @ 4kg.<br />
Bent over barbell rows 606, 706, 706 - very pleased with this - stayed rock solid through legs and torso and bar speed was really good. Super setted with cable flies 3 sets of 8-10.<br />
Bench and seated row super sets were messed up - really hard to lay claim to both when the gym is busy. My bodybuilder mate was working out so I cranked up the weight on bench. 670, 6100, 6120, 4130, 1060 - the 120 and 130 sets were spotted, helping me get past that sticking point low in the lift. It reminded me how good training with someone on bench is - does kinda suck to have to wait for a spot.<br />
Ended up skipping seated rows (will add them in tonight) and did bent over dumbbell row and dumbbell floor press superset. Kicked my ass! 3 sets of 37.5kg for 6 reps each side.<br />
<br />
At the gym again tonight - feels good to be getting along more regularly. -
Another day another crack habit pre-workout substance! This one was pretty mean, came on real quick and I was super focused - probably the best stim so far. Energy/pump was right up there too.<br />
<br />
Weighted step ups - 16kg KB's. 3 sets of 10.<br />
Box squats 1006, 1406, 1606, 1606, 14010, 1006 then I shifted the box and got loooow for 2 sets of 10010. Feel so much more solid and comfortable getting lower now. Not a worry about my knee/s or balance etc. In a couple of weeks I want to suss out my 1RM for a deep squat.<br />
Military press - 606, 606, 506, 506, 406, Bar10 - I've dropped weight down on this to avoid arching my back. Talking to a mate and my PT if you are arching it's more chest activation than shoulders. Either way I was pumped after this - after the back work yesterday I was spreading my wings lol!<br />
Reverse woodchop - 20kg plate 3 sets of 6 each side. Normally I work up to 20kg on this but today I was all business yo<br />
BBBT round the worlds 20kg for 20 reps (10 each way, alternated) for 2 sets. <br />
Seated row - 1006, 1004, 906, 906, 5010 second set at 100 was a bit iffy, really trying to get the bar (doing this wide grip aka a lat pull down grip) right up to the chest on this. Still can't manage two full sets at 100kg with mint form. That is the goal!<br />
Barbell bicep curl drop set. 30kg, 20kg, 12.5kg. Sets of 12/16/20 then 10/14/20. Arms were cranking!<br />
Finished with 2*1min plank. Actually getting a bit better about doing these. They are awesome but it's so easy to skip extra core work. That's why so much of my core work is weights/cable based. Just don't like crunches!!<br />
<br />
Seeing the PT tomorrow - going to run through the front squat workout - tweak some form and basically get a hiding! awesome sauce. -
Doh, can't recall... I've got the baggy at work so I'll update tomorrow!
-
N.O Xplode was the one I had yesterday. No crazy dreams or sleepwalking which was good!! Feeling really good today, keen as mustard for my PT session.<br />
<br />
Rock and roll boys!! -
Mean session with the PT tonight. Had another sample of a pre-workout (can't recall the name) and it was really good. I was really happy with how I went tonight given yesterday was a heavy squat and core session.<br />
<br />
Front squats and bench workout.<br />
3 sets of warm up front squats - count of 3 down, hold at the bottom for count of 2 then power up. Did those with just the bar. Then it was 2 more sets at 40kg. Next focus was taking a deep breath and holding it one the way down and back up - really locks you out through the torso and stops that little swivel you can get in your lower back. Reps of 6 for 40kg, 60kg, 70kg. Next it was a superset of box step ups (with the bar in front squat position) with front squats. 6 step ups with each leg then a set of 6 squats. Repeated for 3 sets.<br />
<br />
Bench warm up was back arches - to stretch through upper back, triceps and get used to the bench position my PT wants. Driving through your feet, glutes and hips locked and all your weight on your traps. 4 sets of those for 20, 20, 15, 15 seconds. Brutal trying to hold that position!<br />
<br />
Bench was mixed with sets of bent over dumbbell rows (17.5kg) - mainly to make it easy to get that super set going. Tough to score a bench and the seated row machine when the gym is busy. Each set started with a set of 6 dumbbell rows then bench - [size=4] 6 reps with a 3 count down, 2 count with the bar on my chest and power it back up [/size][size=4]at 60kg, 70kg, 80kg, 100kg, and 105kg for a single rep at the end. Munted[/size]<br />
<br />
[size=4]Going to catch up with PT again in 2 weeks. We'll focus on another couple of exercises and just smash it out. Good shite [/size]<br />
<br />
[size=4]Cricket tomorrow so a few beers will be consumed![/size]
