I think they spotted him in Ky:r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I had a really good start. started w/ shoulder press on barbell and after warmup did 5 @ 205 and then another 5 @ 225. Did a few sets of 8 @ 185 and my shoulder started to hurt. Was really starting to hurt doing anything using shoulder so I decided to throw on ice and call it quits. I did 2 scoops today. I dunno how it worked, I felt good doing shoulder press, but if it is supposed to make you feel "pumped" or anything I didn't really get that today....at least not too severely. Maybe I should try 3 scoops?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

3 scoops would be good, your around 300lbs right? but first take care of your shoulder. I don't get the tingling from it either I do from PW though:D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Do any of you guys do anything weird for recovery?

A good friend of mine was a world class athlete, and was always traveling. We'll he told me on one trip to Europe they gave him one of those night masks to sleep with. He said ever since then he wears one when he sleeps and believes he sleeps better, and in turn recovers faster and more effectively. He also sleeps with ear plugs!

Anyone else do stuff like this?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Does popping an ambien count? :sleep:

:r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

280-285 so yah pretty close. Maybe try 1-2 more days with only 2 scoops then bump it up

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

keep us posted :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good evening fellas. I was planning on hitting Back/Abs tonight, but after an awesome dinner of some extra hot Phad Thai, I'm not sure my digestive tract will be too happy with me if I go. I took some pepto a bout ten minutes ago, so I'm hoping it's all good within the next hour or so.

I'm down below 240lbs (238 now) for the first time in probably 5-6 years and I've never felt better. I ran a 9:15 mile on Monday, and that's a significant personal best (Especially considering the 14:00 miles I used to crank out in middle/high school). This whole gym/diet thing is really starting to pay off, and I'm really starting to see some changes.

A buddy of mine had the idea of taking a picture of myself in front of a mirror every Friday so I can see the changes from week to week, so tomorrow will be my second photo-op.

I'll probably end up hitting the weights regardless tonight, so I'm sure I'll be back soon.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Kick ass, Adam, great job! :tu

I usually eat hot Pad Thai before my hockey games, gices me a boatload of energy!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

It's probably a bad sign when my right shoulder won't let me do more than 6 reps of 90lb warmup bench presses without giving out, eh? :hn

I think I need to get in to the chiro finally. Something in my upper back has been out for a couple of weeks now and it's efing up my shoulder in the process.

Dokk no likey. :mad:

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I thought you were doing 12oz beer curls with one arm and chruchill curls with the other at Robosto's Cigar lounge the other night:r

Week #2 for me doc just checked the hips and back and said I can up the weight another 20lbs, good news for me

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Bad news, Dokk....get better.

Good news, Chris...kick some arse.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Thanks. I've got my chiro appointment at 11am. :tu

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Hope it goes well. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Good luck with the appointment
My doc is from the Palmer School of Chiro and has a spinalator roller table in his office that he lets me swing in and use at no charge to keep my reconstructed crap loose it's a miracle worker for me :2

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Its all mental, you just got to tough it out! JK Feel better and good luck at the chiro

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

finally been able to get to this thread...

another deadlift day today...

gonna go for a PR today...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Kick some ass, Brother!!

Going to hit back today, don't know what lifts I will hit...I will play it by ear today.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

no PR yesterday :( back wasnt up to it...

leg day...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Instinctive training....better that you go for the PRs on a day when all cylinders are firing. :tu

Off to hit legs as well....Have a good workout, Gerry. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

looks like dokk, you, and I are hitting legs today...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Six legs are better than two! :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

i think my thermogenic is kicking in... that really made me laff!

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I wasn't planning to hit legs today ... but maybe I should now. hmmmmmmmmm.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

session was cut short when, at the bottom of a squat, I heard my shorts rip. :r :r :r

I did manage to get in some good stiff-legged deads (worked up to and down from 300 even) and a couple sets of 225 squats. I planned to get in some more squats and some leg presses; but I was too embarrassed that I "smitdavi'd" in public. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

face was tingling on Friday.....did prolly 2 n 1/2 scoops. Maybe pump up to three this coming week

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

If you were working out with Peter, your shorts might have not been the only thing "ripping" in the vicinity, Dokk. ;)

Felt lots of energy today after squats and hamstring curls, so I did some heavy seated militarys, seated dumbbell militarys and shrugs to cap off a good work out.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

upper body day today....maybe try 3 scoops of WF

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Just found this thread...I've just recently started hittin the gym again for the first time in a few years and man is it sad how weak i've gotten....I've got a few questions for you guys about NOxPlode and White Flood. Which do u guys recommend (they are both similar right) and is it alright to use them with creatine? Thanks guys...and I'll start conversating in here now that I'm back at it and I've found this.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Started changing my diet this week, cutting out the snack cakes and crap like that. working on that and walking daily again.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

:ss Keep up the good work, Bro! At least walk every day!:ss

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Does smoking a cigar while walking counter the walk?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

Yes.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

not asking you :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

took almost 3 scoops of WF the other day and still didn't get a huge pump before lifting. I'm lifting pretty heavy, but it isn't making me feel any different really.... dunno what the deal is? Maybe try a full 3 scoops on friday

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

maybe you need to have two weeks off of NO products?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I have used both extensively, and find I get better results with the White Flood. That being said, cycling different products from time to time might help your body from getting "used" to one of them.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I tried NOxplode for the first time 2 nights ago. I definitely felt a good energy kick for about 15 minutes, and then I felt like I do taking the 6-star muscle NO tabs right now, Nothing. WF kept me energized and ready to rock for 45-60 minutes if not longer when I used to take it. It didn't have the same energy that NOxplode does, which to me felt like a hyper energy, as opposed to WF's making me feel more awake/ready-to-go than hyper. Having tried them both, I'll be re-stocking with WF as soon as my paycheck allows.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

I have to say I really like NO explode. I often have to do workouts that span the time of a couple of hours. I have never really felt the "pump" from any product (but I haven't tried WF) I think a lot of what you take should be decided what your goals are? The NO explode helped me take care of, and helped me raise energy for a lot of the major lifts I do, which are often preformed in the first 20-30 minutes of gym time for me. I also took this before doing many exercises not only related to lifting, this includes plyo's, sprinting, jumping and more importantly throwing. NO gave me an edge mentally where I felt a lot of other products gave me gittery energy

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

So "thumbs down" for the Six Star NO? I was looking for something to try to when cycling from White Flood for a while, and a friend came across an ad for this. If is isn't working at all for you, I will save my money....let me know. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

The only thing I've ever really noticed from the Six-star NO Overdrive is that red rash you can get from taking too much NO. I tried 5 one time, and my arms were on fire for a good 30-45 minutes. On a good day I can see a visual difference in vascularity in my arms, but it's nothing like WF, or even NOxplode for that matter. Granted, this is the one that I have (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/six/stim.html), they have a NO Fury drink mix (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/six/nofury.html) that appears to be more in line with a NOxplode or WF. If it's the other one, I'd consider trying it, just because the pills that I have are lacking in the energy component so I'd be interested to see how the fuller supplement works.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

6 star is Muscletech's generic line (walmart and target) pretty much the same formula as NaNoVapor...

tom go back to NoExplode and buy 1000mg tabs/caps if taurine...

the taurine is gonna repair your caffine and NO receptors...

wow i do know something...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

every once in a while you might. :rolleyes:

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

long stressful week. Looking forward to three scoops of WF (hopefully get a rush today) and lifting everything in site. I think Dokk emailed all my professors to give me an especially hard week... I know you all have a cult of educators or something like that :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

no creatine...

no NO...

no thermogenic...

got under 315 squat got it for 3

got under 375 got it for 1

got under 405... laid it on the rack...

ow well...

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3
 

That was what I was looking at, the Fury....I would probably hold off on buying it now though unless someone I know tried it and had good results,,,Thanks! :)
I was thinking of doing the NO Explode again for a cycle, just thought I would see if anyone had a positive review of the NO Fury.

I will give the NoExplode and Taurine a try after my jug of WF is gone...thanks iGer! :)
