I haven't been there that much since the evolution of my subforum here to be honest with you (just not enough time in my days). Will try and make some nasty comments over there for you too.

Your neck is "down" to 20.5" - Damn how big was it?

I suppose it is needed to keep that head balanced. :rolfmao:

Just an update for everybody, I got my schedule for work straightened out a bit, so we're looking at running a workout schedule based on my days off/on.

I will be cutting my hours down to 60ish for this log LOL.


Mondays: Chest workout, mainly focusing on strength goals here.

Average chest workouts will focus on not only chest, but supporting groups.

Chest + Tri's + Shoulders (not a true shoulder day, not a true tricep day, just certain movements) Also, no BB bench press will be included for the duration, until the end where I check for improvements.


Tuesdays: Back workout, mainly focusing on size development here.

Average back workouts will focus on back/lats/traps only.


Wednesdays: Leg workout, mainly focusing on form and support here.

Average leg workouts will focus on squat depth/weight increases, and high intensity workouts, followed by abs.


Thursdays: Shoulder workout, mainly focusing on strength development in the rear delts and size development in the frontal delts here.

Average shoulder workouts will focus on heavy 'behind-the-neck' shoulder presses, and other forms of presses (all rear oriented) and several different lifts/raises for the front delts (personal lifts I learned and am not willing to share!)


Fridays: Arm workout, mainly focusing on size development of biceps and strength on triceps here.

Average arm workouts will focus on higher rep bicep workouts, supersetted to lower rep/heavier tricep workouts, followed by a brief cardio session.


Saturdays: Off


Sundays: Cardio in various forms (get your minds out of the gutter folks! of course I am talking about 'boxing style training', grappling, rock climbing, stair running, sprints/suicides, distance running, and hopefully if my body lets me... some sauna time! lol)

I believe my days off will either be Sat/Sun/Mon or Fri/Sat/Sun, or a switch between those. I will add in Cordygen 5 by MST on Sundays and Fridays. I will also make note that I have a knee injury of some sort, that doesn't affect my training in any way shape or form, but I cannot put weight on it (kneel or rest against something with it).

I like the forms of cardio, boxing workouts are intense

Workout day #1 / day #1

Ok so my ActivaTe Extreme showed up today while I was in Salt Lake, I got home, immediately took 2 caps and went to the gym 1/2 hour later!

First impressions: AWESOME!~ I had a male aggression that I have NEVER had before, it was amazing. I will go more into detail with my workout.


Warm ups for chest

BB bench

135 X 12 for 2 sets


Hanging Rope Pushups + Weight

1st set: BW X 10 as a warm up
2nd set: BW + 45 X 8
3rd set: BW + 100 X 8
4th & 5th were the same as the 3rd, EXCEPT that I was done at five, but found myself able to push past and continue on to finish 8 solid reps each time!

I decided to play with the BB bench one last time before I gave it up, so I messed around a bit:

BB Bench

135 X 12 X 3
185 X 5 X 1
225 X 1 X 1


ONE arm machine flyes

160 X 6 X 3 (each arm)


Normal Machine Flyes

180 X failure X 3


Incline DB Flyes with a Outter DB Tri Press incorporated

40's X 8 X 3
35's X 6 X 1

Dips

Failure X 3


The hanging pushups annihilated my entire upper body, so the rest of the workout wasn't the greatest. I feel that without taking the ActivaTe that my workout wouldn't have been as good, be it placebo or actual effects. I must admit that I will incorporate monohydrate post workout for an FYI.

So far~

Strength: **** (4) - Strength wasn't there tonight, this shouldn't be attributed to the ActivaTe though, as it was just 'one of those nights'.

Body Comp: ***** (5) - This is neutral because I cannot judge on this just yet.

Sex Drive: ********* (9) - I was turned on by the wierdest looking girls tonight, skinny chicks with huge noses, chicks with no bodies whatsoever, chicks with legs... LOL basically everything was lookin good tonight... so libido is WAYYY up already?!?!?!
