Wound up doing a home workout... Weighted chair dips, various curls at various weights, triceps extensions, and some ab work... There was a snow warning, and out where I live, so it was recommended by "She Who Must Be Obeyed" that I come straight home from work, vs going to the gym... Still got a pretty good pump despite not having the heavier amounts of weight...
You'd rather miss a training session than a meal. Shit, diet is that important to a bodybuilder. It's an area that doesn't allow for any bad days or mistakes. You ready to make the sacrifice? - AnimalPak.com
Past few days have been a royal shitstorm... Between the weather, and what became a nearly 2 1/2 hour commute home I had to scrap my plans... Today "should" be better, weather permitting...
We had a grain silo collapse and kill a person, in one of the towns I have to drive through... So, between the news crews, rescue crews, large machinery being moved, and Looky Lous it's been a pretty crappy drive... Then we had snow, and people up here are incapable of driving in inclement weather...

That weather front moved down here last night.... not fun in a 2wd Ranger pickup with bald tires! haha.

Really starting to not like this time of year... The rest of the week was curtailed... Due to personal/family reasons... Those on Facebook should have a fairly good idea...
Interesting how a bit of grief and anger can make the numbers jump...
For those that don't know... My "favorite" Uncle died, last week... We were fairly close... It was sudden and unexpected... He was in a wreck, paramedics checked him over, said he was fine... He made a cautionary appointment with his doctor the following day... He collapsed in the doctor's office on Wednesday... He had a brain hemorrhage... He was pronounced dead Friday night... He was only 60... Keep your friends and family close... You never know when you may lose them...
Over the weekend, I did a comparison, though... I compared it with the original Rage... I found the energy levels and focus to be quite similar... (Rage XL blew the old one away, with flavor, though... *LOL*)
Leg extension: (Warm Up...)
1 set of 50 at 80
1 set of 40 at 90

Finally starting to get a rhythm, again... An odd observation, though... With the added focus, I've been able to sort through a lot of things, while at the gym, and resolve some of the grief and recent issues...
Like seeing the few times you had to lift from home. I've had to do that in the past. Used household items for weights until I was able to purchase a few DBs.

Thank you... I always have a few DB's around the house... The poundage is not what I would like... But, I make due with different angles, slower reps, etc... And at the very least, we all have our own bodyweight for some exercises...

T Bar Rows 2 x 8 + 6 with two 35's and a 5 on the bar...
Dumbbell Rows 2 x 8 + 6 at 95

Seated Calf 2 x 8 + 6 at 2 pps
Shrugs were done normal, the rest was solo HRT...
As I'll be starting my vacation after work, today... I'll get right down to my thoughts and impression of this product... Would I recommend this to someone...??? Most definitely...!!! The taste has been vastly improved upon... The added performance enhancers were perfect, and make this a great stand alone preworkout product... As a bodybuilder, I care as much for the pump as I do the sustained energy and focus... Well done, Animal... Well done...!!!

I agree with you... Legit stuff for sure.
