Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Supp Shop had some stuff on clearance ... and I'm a sucker for that ... so I'll be tryin some MP Assault and Dr Jeckyll :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Don't think you'll get much out of the Dr. Jekyll, it's more of a good pump pwo. Not much stim or caffeine. Contains a fairly large amount of nitric oxide for that "pump."

I would not take it alone as a pre, Charlie. Something like that should be mix with another supplement.

I take hvol which is another pwo that contains mainly n.o. along with a higher dosage of caffeine or beta alanine.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Thx for the advice, Huy!
I'd looked up the MJ Raw Review and he said what you're saying, that it's more of a good pump, low-stim formula. I was thinking about mixing it with the Assault or some of my regular C4. Glad to hear that's your recommendation. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it goes! *thumbs up*

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

4 day carb binge ... bloated as heck but GOOD lift today :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Feedin' the Machine...nice, Charlie!

Back today, strength still not completely back, but endurance is better. Did 4 types of free weight rows (two regular and two t-bar movements) that went well. First set of cables (wide pulldowns) hurt my elbow (it's been wonky) and I shut down the workout, got lots out of the rows, went up to 295 on a couple movements, so I cut my losses and went for steak and eggs.

Damn, that was a run-on sentence. :r

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

I feel 20lbs heavier after that cheat-disaster lol

Got a pretty decent low-stim workout today.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Very good, Charlie. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the Catalyst.

Legs/shoulders today, and my endurance keeps getting better, so that's half the battle.

I would give my strength a C- today, and my endurance a B.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Glad to hear that you're feeling more endurance! Good stuff man!

Yeah I'm excited to give it a shot! You'll have a report tomorrow :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

I know Eddy said 1, but it's low stim. I did 2, got a good pump, and didn't feel like I had too much beta. I dunno, maybe I should have tried one first, but I am stubborn. I did order a tub already though.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Same here, Tom. Legs and shoulders

Leg extensions with negatives 5x12 (last 3 reps are neg)
Seated leg curls 5x12(same for negatives)
Single leg presses 5x12-20
Front squats 4x5
Pause front squats 3x6-8

Side delt raise - bent over rear delt 4x12-10
Cable side delt raise 8x8
OHP 4x5-8
Front raise 4x8

Finished off with some quick biceps.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

As always, nice lift and good volume, Huy!

Tom - I'm taking a late lunch and gonna go hit some chest ... I'm taking 1 packet of the Catalyst but my protein shake is rly just why mixed with toddy, some heavy cream and some sugar free syrup. So I'm hoping that the toddy will give me a bit of a boost, caffeine wise. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Let us know how it goes, Charlie. :tu

Nice day, Huy....you in for fantasy hockey?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Yeah ill accept it, only if you guys need another person. I don't want to take some ones spot if they are really into hockey.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

OK, thanks. We are looking slim this year, so I will probably be reaching out to you if you are down.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Yeah, I'll play if you guys need another person.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

You're the bestest, Huy. :D

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

I think the Catalyst was good but I only took the 1 pack. I got a pretty decent pump. I think 2 packs would have worked rly well, considering that I'm over-stimmed like you, Tom lol

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Yeah, I am going to add it to the mix when my tub comes, Charlie, probably combined with something a little more caffeinated. :r

Off day today after 8 in a row.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

I'm going to get something new to play with today?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

And the survey sez.......

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Sez I need to get back to work and stop going on my phone... Off in a bit

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

No workout yet today ... may go a bit later. I was gonna take a full-on rest day but I'm not great at those. lol

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Ended up getting Hyde. I want to say it's like 350+mg of caffeine and 3.25g of beta alinin. So basically a concoction for a good buzz.

Incline DB flies 4x15-10

Front pull down (close grip) 4x12

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

So you like the Hyde, Huy?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

It's not bad, our tolerance for stim is pretty high and these seems to be one of the higher side for pwo that's on the market.

Want a sample?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Sure....want a sample of the Catalyst when I get my tub in?

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Otay. :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

International chest day. Strength a little better, endurance really getting there. Feel like they will run hand in hand from here on.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Back today .. my lower back has been super sore soooooo I deadlifted to start things off and it's actually been much less sore since then. I've also been icing it profusely. :)
Rest of the back workout was pretty good.

Chest & shoulders tomorrow.

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

Btw, I have MP Assault, Dr Jekyll & C4. Along with Cellucor Alpha Amino & GNC Advanced AMP Whey if anyone wants samples :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 

I like that the deadlifts made things better, Charlie!

I have Pump Fuel and NO Explode for samples, though I would assume you've tried the NO.

The wife is occupied all day so i may head back and get some cardio in this afternoon before meeting my brother for a few smokes and some college football.

Have a great weekend gentlemen!

Good work, Huy and Charlie, excellent days.

I'm heading in now for legs and shoulders myself.
