Glad to hear it got there Huy!

Personally I'd try the War Juice on leg day. You can take Vasky with it too but idk if you want a leg pump or not lol

Lmk what u try and what u think

I did the MTS one. I love pixie stick like flavor, really sour. I actually had to swish it with a little water. I usually just take the powder dry.

Leg today.

Leg extensions 5x15
Lying Leg curls 5x15
Front squats 5x8+
Single leg press 5x12-16
Single leg extensions 5x14+

I went to the grocery store to pick up some dinner stuff and I had to get a cherry Danish pastry for my post workout :)

Charlie, I got your package yesterday too!.. I will use the Pre for shoulder day tomorrow, and the cookie lasted about 5 minutes hahahah.. it was delish!!

swingerofbirches 02-19-2016 08:30 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Huy - nice, what'd u think? U stack it with Vasky?

Ron - lol @ cookie ... I'm a sucker for a cookie ... hope u like the PWO ... since your Ruckus & Vasky are mixed together already (the way I stack it) I'm interested to see what u think of it!

I did some early AM legs today ... accidentally did it fasted LOL
Took a double scoop of Hyde so I def stimmed my way through this one. :)

NeuRon 02-19-2016 09:01 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
I am interested also :)

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
It was okay, it was a nice hit of immediate rush but wore out pretty quickly. What's the Vasky again?

I usually don't like to get all juiced up before legs. Only on days when it's tougher, back or chest.

Adriftpanda 02-19-2016 09:19 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
I feel like we are a bunch of drug dealers hahah

Double scoop or Hyde? You're insane.

NeuRon 02-19-2016 09:38 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
i am a stim junkie, and I remember one morning I took two scoops of hyde and I ended up passing out in the corner of the gym with a migraine, lol.. I was so amped up, my system crashed

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
I squat nearly every workout, at least 3 times a week, Front, back, pause, box, all kind of Squats. I have recently (past year) started doing more Oly work, Clean and jerk, Snatchs. Its amazing how you use nearly every part of your body doing those lifts.

icehog3 02-19-2016 10:05 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
My package arrived today, thank you Charlie. I will give this a try next week. :D

Now I have to go hide my cookie from Ron. :r

Huh, sorry it didn't put out btr for you. I have a feeling War Juice is gonna be more your speed then. :)
Personally, I don't get a rush from Ruckus but my sustained energy is seemingly endless. Diff strokes for diff folks :)

The Vasky is just the pump product. Just helps the pump when u stack with either Ruckus or War Juice.

After my double ytrdy I just did a little cardio this morning. Hoping my back stops hurting :/

icehog3 02-20-2016 01:41 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Feel better, Charlie.

Chest today, flats, declines and inclines, no gas. Still managed a good pump, but not sure I did much good "damage".

Adriftpanda 02-20-2016 05:58 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
You sure we aren't back on the same cycle, Tom?

Have breast tonight. I did decline to start last week, I think I will do it again. I did enjoy a nice change of pace. The stretch felt nice as well. Can't remember the last time I flat bb press...

Adriftpanda 02-20-2016 10:10 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Quick chest day. Cut out one exercise to help out a new guy learn how to deadlift. He thought I worked there...

Decline bb 4x8-10
Incline bb 4x8-10 - push ups
Seated fly machine 5x12

Post workout - Oreo cheesecake

Hope you got the trainer's fee. ;)

A fist bump, and a thank you. I'm good.

Never been that kind of guy that ignored people when asked for help at the gym.

What???

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Good work fellas!
Nice of you to help him out Huy. :)

About to hit some quick chest and tris ... I feel kinda beat up today so it'll probably just turn into a bullsh@t pump workout to burn a few cals :)

icehog3 02-21-2016 09:46 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Get at it, Charlie!

It's back day for me, but I'm feeling about the same, so might be more of a cable day for me unless the spirit moves me when I get there.

swingerofbirches 02-21-2016 10:38 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Hope it's a good life, Tom. :)

Good heavens ... the gym was fairly empty yet somehow people were using ALL the benches the whole time and I had no less than 3 people try and swoop in on my cable setup (variety of cable flys) while I'm standing there in between sets. So a bunch of cable flys and some cable tricep work ... kind of a weird workout.

The encouraging news is that my weight stayed static this week. Which was rly good feedback regarding my current diet and cardio. Next week I'm gonna drop out my daily granola and add in 15min of fasted cardio each morning, then reassess in 2 weeks. :)

I'm running out of time to be shredded by the Arnold Classic LOL

icehog3 02-21-2016 01:23 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
I'll see you at the Ah-nold, Chah-lie. I'm gonna be who-ge. :r

OK, so you saw my attitude heading to the gym. Decided to try the War Juice to see if it would give me that spirit. And it did, I repped out with some decent weight on the rows, and felt juiced. Came home and ordered War Juice. :r Thank you, Charlie, I owe today's workout to you.

T-bar 225, 250, 270, 295, 295, 270
Barbell rows 245, 265, 285, 225
Cable rows 220, 240, 250, 260, 220
Pullups 2 sets to failure

Sets may seem low, but reps were highest at those weights in a long time, my back is jacked (in a good way). :tu

swingerofbirches 02-21-2016 01:29 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Great to hear, Tom! You take the whole baggie or half? It seemed like it would be a good fit for a self-admitted stim junkie. :) All of my buddies who LOVE high stim pretty much take WJ exclusively. Where'd you order from?

Good looking work too! King of rows!

icehog3 02-21-2016 01:33 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
I took it all, Charlie. :eek:

I ordered from Muscle and Strength, they were one of 2 I found it at, both form $37 but M&S shipping was a buck cheaper.

Great to have a new stim in the rotation. I will save this one for those low motivation days at first.

Adriftpanda 02-21-2016 02:51 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
I'm so tired... Tomorrow I'll hit back and try war juice.

Had a game today, ran too much.

icehog3 02-21-2016 04:10 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Hope you like the War Juice like I did, Huy. I am a stim guy, so 2 scoops was good for me. Might wanna do 1 if stim isn't your thing.

swingerofbirches 02-22-2016 03:49 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Got in a crappy back lift this morning. Gonna try to get a little cardio in tonight.

icehog3 02-22-2016 04:10 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Shoulder day for me, stayed light, one exercise and went for volume.

Seated military press 165 x 10 sets, 135 x 1 set

Adriftpanda 02-22-2016 04:24 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
You count your reps, Thomas the Train?

icehog3 02-22-2016 08:29 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Yeah, got 25 the first set and came down every set. I think I was able to get 13 the last set.

Adriftpanda 02-22-2016 09:36 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Back day, reps for Jesus.

Neutral grip pull downs 8x10+
Bent over bb row 6x10+
Wide grip pull down - stiff Lat pull down 5x10+

Seated incline DB curls 4x10
Preacher curl machine 4x24

icehog3 02-23-2016 12:14 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Nice back day, Huy! :tu

Tomorrow is supposed to be legs and arms, but my right knee is still pretty swollen after blocking a shot in a game last week, so unless things change overnight, probably just an arm day for me.

swingerofbirches 02-23-2016 04:35 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Good work fellas!
Reps for Jesus lol

Gonna be a quick shoulder workout for me this morning. :)

Adriftpanda 02-23-2016 11:09 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Took war juice yesterday, not sure how much of it I took since I just poured some of the powder into my mouth, from the bag. It taste really good, a tad bit sour. Decent stim, but it wore out fairly fast.

Planning on taking the rest today along with the vasky(sp). Shoulder day, I think I love the shoulder pump the most.

icehog3 02-23-2016 02:38 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Did the Ruckus today, decent stim. Was able to go hard and heavy on bis and tris, but didn't get any pump at all, despite adding some HVOL into the mix.

Read the reviews on the Vasky, curious to see what you think, Huy. Thinking about ordering some.

swingerofbirches 02-23-2016 03:34 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
I can send you some Vasky to try, Tom. I thought about putting some in there anyway. Wishing I had now.

Sounds like so far ... Ruckus wasn't good for Huy but was ok for you. War Juice was rly good for you and just ok for Huy (different dosages). Sound about right?

I agree Tom ... Ruckus by itself is basically no pump ... it just makes me feel like I can go rly hard for a rly long time.

Adriftpanda 02-23-2016 07:22 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Took the rest of war juice today, didn't add any Vasky.

Shoulder and some core work.

Behind neck military press 5x8-10
Standing Arnold presses 4x10+
Bb upright row 5x8-10 w/drop
DB side delt raise 5x8-12

Indeed, Charlie, loved the War Juice and ordered some. Probably won't buy any Ruckus, but appreciate the chance to try it.

Haven't been here in a while but haven't relented on the workouts.

3 more days of circuit style workouts then I can start a more individualized workout and cardio after work instead of all at the same time.

Dr thinks my weight gain is thyroid related considering my caloric intake and workout schedule. Still waiting on the results of that test.

Keep knocking em dead on the workouts!

swingerofbirches 02-24-2016 10:09 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Ok, so at the risk of sounding like I abuse the heck outta stims ... a scoop or two or Ruckus as a sipping drink (full 8-12oz water) on a day when I have a ton of work to power through really does wonders for focus. I don't do this all the time but on days when I really need to focus and get a lot of work wrapped up, this does the trick lol

icehog3 02-24-2016 10:55 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
You abuse the heck out of stims, Charlie.

I keed, I keed. :lr

Off day today, need it with 3 games in 3 nights starting last night.

Adriftpanda 02-24-2016 11:41 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
I should rest today... I may.

swingerofbirches 02-24-2016 05:30 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
It's 7:30 and I've not yet been to the gym ... I might actually manage to take a day off :)

icehog3 02-24-2016 06:18 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Me, Charlie and Huy all take a day off. Our cycles really are meshing. :r

swingerofbirches 02-24-2016 06:57 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
LMFAO nice Tom

I also ate like a hog tonight ... soooooo I guess I gotta do some work tomorrow (as much as my back will allow)

Adriftpanda 02-24-2016 11:35 PM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
I almost went too... I settled for a cigar.

dijit 02-25-2016 05:09 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Breakfast, check
Gym, check
Cigar, check
Beer, not yet but soon!

Started going a little heavier and lower reps to get set up for the tougher workouts and damn it feels good! Still very short breaks between sets only 30 to 60 seconds.

Adriftpanda 02-26-2016 09:33 AM

Re: Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 II
 
Legs last night. Felt okay, haven't hit squats in a week or maybe 2. Didn't bring any pwo because I trained at 830.

Warmed up with extensions and lying curls 5x15-20

Squats and front squats - not sure how many sets maybe 10+ sets
Stiff leg deads 3x8-12
Single leg press 4x30
