Well I officially kicked off using my first PNI product today and I really liked it. It was Prodigy. PNI's pre workout supplement. I was impressed with the flavor (watermelon). Watermelon isn't my favorite, but I do not dislilke it either. I've had 3 other pre workout products that were watermelon flavored: C4, Pre Surge Xtreme, and Alphagen. C4's flavoring is my least favorite. Too sweet. Alphagen tastes amazing and Pre Surge is about the best tasting pre workout I've ever had. PRODIGY was very good. I liked it a lot because it wasn't too sweet and it mixed very well with no grit. The energy was great. I didn't get that hamster on crack feeling which is good. It was teh perfect amount of energy. I've used Friction by VPX and it's way too much. I like stims, but not one's that are too strong. FOCUS was also spot on! The most impressive part of the product to me was the pumps I got. I trained in my garage and it was 25 degrees outside and no more than 35 in my garage. Nonetheless, I got PAINFUL pumps. SKIN SPLITTING. That was my favorite part. I'm really looking forward to using Prodigy tomorrow for legs!

Yikes, been a while since I've updated, my bad.

This weekend my split got thrown for a wrench. FYI, my split is as follows:

Legs
Chest
Back
Shoulders
Arms
Repeat

Off days happen when they happen. I have always been a proponent of 2 on 1 off 2 on 2 off or 2 on 1 off 3 on 1 off especially being natural, however, with the way my life, work, family, wife's work,e tc... is, I've found that at this point it's best to hit the gym everyday until soemthign happens where I can't. Example, I couldn't train last Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday. 3 days off right there. This week, I don't know what day will be off, depends on work. However, I did train yesterday and today.

Left for Columbus with the family for a shopping excursion/get away. Was told the hotel I was at had a state of the art training facility. Was planning on hitting back Sunday before some more shopping, needless to say the "state-of-the-art" fitness center was 4 cardio machines and DB's up to 50. Did nothing. Shopped for a few hours, ate lunch, and came home to watch the Browns on the DVR beat the Chiefs! 3 in a row! Then watched my nephews Christmas program from 6-7:30 before eating some pizza and ending my weekend of blissful eating.
