hey man its april 30th im waiting for your first post. I want to know how your stak is working!

[musclealchemist]

ALright here we goooo

Today was legs day. I took my M-Stak a hour before i worked out, then took my pump 15 min before i went workout. I got this from researching it on the forum. I then took my Nitro before i went workout also. I also got to sport my new " Go Hard or Go Home" animal shirt that i won. It felt so good wearing it.

My routine is modeled after the "bench like animal" routine, but its changed some.

My starting weight is 191lbs

Squats
1X8:135
2X8: 225
3X8:275
(tired to keep form solid,
but i think i need to up the weight next time)

I usually do extensions, but the damn machine was broken so i did some lunges

Lunges
1X8: 60lbs
2X8: 60lbs
3X8: 65lbs

Leg Press
1X8: 370
2X8: 460
3X8: 590

Leg Curls
1X8: 120
1X8: 130
3X8: 140

Straight Leg DeadLift

1X8: 100
2X8: 110
3X8: 120

Calfs(with the machine that goes across your quads)
1X20: 100
2X20: 125
3X20: 150
Note: I go all the way down and the flex them hard when i come up. I do not bounch when im doing the workout.

Calfs (On Leg Press)
1X20: 270
2X20: 290
3X20: 300
Note: took a long break kinda from the 2nd to 3rd set, i was talking to my friend ( yea i know i shouldnt have but i did)

Note: I dont do the workout as i listed it, i start off with quads doing squats, then do hammys, then calfs, then quads, calfs, quads again then finish off with doing some straight leg deadlifts for my hammys.

Im open to suggestions on if i should change some things in my routine. Just let me know

I then finshed off my workout with running a mile on the indoor track above the gym at my school's workout center. I know most people dont like to do cardio when they do legs, but i like to because i find it finishes off my legs to help them break down more, i usually run a mile. I also like to do it to keep up my cardio. Once i was finished i then walked to my Jeep and drank my torrent. I only put 2 scoops in because thats all i could fit in my bottle of water with out making a mess. I will prolly put 3 next time i use it. The Torrent taste pretty good. It kinda taste like cherry medicine, the kinda we all took growing up but it taste good for being a workout supp you drink in water. I have tasted wayy worse before.

Edit: i decided that i wont take my 2nd pak of Nirto because i have torrent, and i feel i would be over loading on Amino Acids if i did take the 2nd pak

Next post will be on Wednesday when i do some Chest and Tris.

Sorry if i typed too much

Peace

[widdlewade44]

I think you did well bro, congrats.

I would think the key 'answers' to your questions would come from you; did you think it was a good (or great) w/o? Did you give it your all and have good focus and concentration (excluding chating between sets)?

If your answers are yes, then I would stick to what you're doing for now.

Good luck, peace.

Looks like you hit it hard bro. Good to hear the pump is doing it's job by giving you a pump. Keep pushing hard brother!

[widdlewade44]

Great looking chest workout bro. Good luck, peace.

Had a good overall pump through out the workout, it felt pretty good. Taking the red pill out helped me because it didnt effect my head as much. Torrent is working great. My legs were super tore up eailer this week, now they are sore free. I think im hooked on torrent for life. As for my weight, i think that its going up because of water weight, because of the creatine mix in the pump. but im not sure.

[widdlewade44]

7 pounds is still cool bro. You gotta be big and heavier to move those massive weights.

Congrats on the PR for deads. Looks like you're doing well, peace.

Kevin

[Extreme]

Awesome to see you hitting some PR's bro. I've done the same with this stack already. Keep going strong!

[musclealchemist]

just wanted to do a little up date, I went and did abs yesterday, i just took my pump in the morning, and my M-stak during the day. I figured it didnt pay to take it before going, i just did abs and obliques. I took my last pak of M-stak today. Im waiting a week then im going to start my cutting cycle for the summer. I hope uni rep doesnt get mad that i switched cycles while in the log, because it will effect my weight of course. Tomorrow im going tear up my legs so until then, peace

[musclealchemist]

[musclealchemist]

Took pump 30 min before, took Nitro right before. I took the red pill with the pump this time, the only thing is i opened the pill up and took some of the powered out of it so it wouldnt be so bad on my head.

Post workout: i mixed my torrent in a 1.8fl oz bottle, so i put 4 scoops to make up for the difference. I also went back to working out in my old gym in my home town, and it felt great. I had a awesome workout today, i think it was one of the best ones in my life.

[musclealchemist]

ok so i been out of the gym for almost 2 weeks. After my last workout, i found out i pulled my rhomboid muscle. I stayed out of the gym for 2 weeks and let it heal up. I also went to the chiropractor and he helped me out some. It was feeling really good today so i went do my legs. I also started my cutting diet on Tuesday of this week. I have been cycling my carbs low low med high, and today was my high day. I took my pump 30min or so before working out and then i took my nitro. Today i tried something different with what i drink during my workout. I mixed some storm, 2 gultamine pills and 2 liver pills, and i mixed it all up with some Gatorade. It tasted pretty good. So here is my workout.

20min of cardio on the bike


After my workout i downed my torrent, i used the 1.8 L bottle again with 4 scoops. I also took my nitro before i did my cardio. I upped my reps because im on my cutting phase. I kinda have a caffeine high right now because evidently the storm has some in it. Overall i had a good workout, i tried to keep the intensity high to burn more fat.

Questions, comments, concerns, hit me up with it.

[musclealchemist]

Well today i used my last pak of pump. I wanted to send it off with a bang so i did an full arm workout. It was great, i had a great pump, and plenty of energy. My rhomboid was kinda acting up so i iced it up. I wanted to train even though it hurt me, i couldnt stand to be away from the gym anymore. Well lets have a little review shall we

STARTING STATS:

Starting weight: 190

Current Maxes:
Chest: I have done 80lbs X 3 times with DBs, and i have done 215lbs with a Barbell
Squat: 275X8 times, but i havent maxed out since i starting doing my form correctly
DeadLift: I Just started deadlifting seriously just recently, and the most i have done is 235 X 5 times


END STATS:

Weight: 197

Chest: i can now the 85's 5 times.
Squat: i did 285 10 times the last leg workout
Deadlift: i havent deadlifted in a while because of my back, but the best i did so far was 245 x5


Pump: stuff is great, helped me push harder than i ever though i could
Torrent: Taste great, works great, nuff said

They both will become part of my supps from now on

I would just like to thank Universal for giving me a change to test the stuff out, and to everyone who i tested it with. I learned a lot and wish everyone the best in their future Iron Quest

Alchemist Out.
