looks i really need to jump on the pump/rage stack asap. and do you feel a major difference taking nitro preworkout and then that soon again between weights and cardio?

It's a solid stack.
To be honest, I've never done it otherwise. It's always worked for me though. The way I look at it is I'm getting the aminos in asap after the resistance work. Plus, by the time cardio is over and I've gone home it's been enough time where I can eat real food without diminishing the effects of the aminos.

I was emasculated by this exercise. I haven't done non-smith presses in a LONG time, and back when I was doing them regularly I always had a lift-off/spotter. My main issue was with unracking, I really fucked up my tricep about four years ago unracking the bar on this and ever since then I've had a fear of repeating it. I coulda banged out 115 for three sets of eight easily, once I got the weight up I was fine...wasted too much on the unrack with the first set. NO EXCUSES though, just gotta suck it up and work through it (while training smart, that is).

Cardio: Incline Dreadmill
30 Minutes, 5 Incline, 3.4 Speed
Grip work during cardio: Heavy grip grippers; sets of reps and static holds.
Pump/Rage/Nitro pre, Nitro in between weights and cardio, BCAA/Gatorade mix during cardio. Whole food afterwards.
No change in timing or anything. I pop the Rage as I'm heading out the door, drive to the gym (approximately 10-12 minutes), pop my Nitro when I get to the locker room, and am working out within 5 minutes. So, by the time I start it's been about 20 minutes since I took the Rage and I am good to go. I'm kinda surprised the pills work so quickly, but they do. And it definitely lasts, that is for sure.

Cry "Havoc," and let slip the dogs of war...in a week or so that is.
So, next week will be an off week. My dad and I are taking a mini-vacation out to Gettysburg, PA next week, leaving early Wednesday and coming back on Saturday. I'll be out of town this weekend at a shoot, on Monday my brother and I are going to the Brewers home opener, and I have a test on Tuesday. So, rather than try to jam in some rushed sessions or try and train on the road I figure I'll just take the week off.
After today I'm laying off Pump and Rage for a week. Just sticking with the Pak/Flex/Omega/Nitro/PM. Starting next Sunday, I'm starting a sick stack to really take things up a notch:
Pak
Flex
Omega
Cuts
Stak
Pump
Rage
Nitro
PM
Uni-Liver
Beef Aminos
Egg Aminos
BCAA Stack
Pro & Oats
Timing will be as follows:
Cuts - Upon wakening, prior to AM Phil. Second pack 4-6 hours later.
BCAA Stack/Gatorade - During AM Phil.
Pak - With breakfast (Pro & Oats)
Omega - Lunch
Flex - Dinner
Stak - 45 minutes prior to workout.
Pump - 30 minutes prior to workout.
Rage - 15 minutes prior to workout.
Nitro - Immediately preworkout. Also after weights and before Phil.
BCAA/Gatorade - During postworkout Phil.
Uni-Liver - 4 tabs, 3x daily, with food. In between bigger meals.
Beef Aminos - 4 tabs, 3x daily, with food. In between bigger meals.
Egg Aminos - 2 tabs, 3x daily, with food. In between bigger meals.
PM - 30-60 minutes prior to sleep.
On Phil-only days, I will take the Stak 45 minutes prior to the dreadmill, Cuts 30 minutes prior, Pump (minus red pill) 15 minutes prior, and Nitro immediately pre and post. No Rage or second serving of BCAA/Gatorade on these days. Off days will be timed like this, but with only one packet of Nitro. No Pro & Oats or BCAA/Gatorade on off days either.
I will still be taking my Vitamin C, Fiber, and Probiotics/Digestive Enzymes as per usual.
Training will be the same.
I think this is going to be fucking crazy. I am already burning off fat, I can see it in the mirror and my clothes are fitting looser. And yet my strength has not been diminished. I think with this stack the results will only be better. As I said, I'm starting the supps next Sunday so that I'll have some in my system already when I unleash all hell come the next day...

Looks solid. Gotta go with dude there, squattin on mondays when everyone else is doin bench, all the folks stop and watch. Still dont know how you do the good mornings though, friggen HATE that exercise, much rather deadlift.
So I guess the rage is goin good for ya eh? Im takin the week off of it , back to whatever samples i have around the house and kick it off again on monday to see if there are any changes. Do you notice you sweat more on this stuff or am i the only one?
