Sunday: Started feeling a warming sensation before workout. As for in the gym, WOW. Is the only word I can describe. I blew apart ALL records of standard weight sets. I thought it might be a placebo effect, but I looked into previous users' logs and noted that I experienced a typical response on the same level as other users.
I had an incredible time with both Deads and Leg Curls. I still feel the sensation, and its giving me a pump in both the hams and upper back.
Deadlifts (4 sets)
W/UP 90-12, W/UP 150-5
180-12, 200-10, 210-10, 230-5
Lat Pull Under Bar (3 sets)
160-12, 180-8, 180-8
1 Arm DBell Row (2 sets)
60-12, 70-11
Rear Delts bent cable (2 sets)
W/UP 10-10, 15-8

Seated Leg Curl (5 sets)
W/UP 90-12
90-12, 110-8, 110-8, 130-8, 1300-8

Cardio-30 minutes, on level 4.5, @ 3.5 mph.

Monday.
Did cardio. No problems.
Today, I noticed a little more oil on my cheeks as well as the surfacing of some zits (GAAAHHHH). Some of my dry skin has even gone into hiding as more oil has replenished my skin. This is good. Meals have been fine, but I am starting to notice the presence of more hunger, so I squashed my cravings with some natty peanut butter. Other than that, no changes.

Increase in test along with BMR. Good things to come.

I am a big fan of Activate, never used Rebound.



If sense were common, everyone would have it.

Tuesday.
Noticing weird wakeup patterns in sleep. Although I feel like I am awake and alive when just waking up. I'm going to get back on melatonin. This always worked for me. Still feeling the warming trend (sound like a weather report), even when standing-or doing nothing. Also developing a skin tight sensation, especially in the upper and lower arms.
Today's gym session was good. I felt more out of the weight that I was working with. It didnt seem as heavy. A small gain in the upright rows and lateral raises. Calves went especially well, feeling a major burn (actually blow torch) on single calf raises.
DB Press (5 sets)
W/UP35-12, W/UP55-8
65-10, 65-10, 70-8, 70-6, 70-6;Drop Set 55-4
Upright Row (3 sets)
30-12, 30-10, 35-8
Front Raise DBell (2 sets) (nice burn)
20-12, 25-9
Seated calf Raise (DogCrapp style) (2 set warmup);(1 action setx3)
W/UP 65-12, 90-10
110-9,4,4
Single calf raise then Double Raise
8 reps on each calf, 12 reps on double, both sets.

Thursday
My legs were on fire today. I gained almost 90 lbs in the last of my 2 leg press sets combined. I thought I couldve done more, but the knees were starting to give, so I lightened the load and went for more reps on a lighter scale.
Front squats-moved up 10 lbs on the last set. Leg Ext. went up 20 lbs. all in all, the first week has been pretty good, if this the shape of things to come, I'll be pretty damn happy at the end of this month cycle.
Oil still continues to be a factor as my bald head has a bit of shine that a lot of people are noticing. I wipe it and it comes back again in an hour. I was prett damn aggressive yesterday, as my assistant noticed that I was letting stuff that wouldnt normally bug me, really piss me off. I ripped one of my coworkers a new asshole and it felt pretty fucking good. I was able to actually contain it afterward, but she did notice it and in the beginning, I told her to watch me back just in case I get nasty. Slept really good last night.
Leg Press (6 sets)
W/UP270-12, W/UP360-8, 450-4
540-12, 630-12-,720-10, 740-6.5,630-8
Front Smith Squats (3 sets)
70-12, 90-10, 100-10
Alt Step Ups (3 sets)
35-10, 35-10, 35-10
Leg Extensions (2 sets)
110-12, 130-8

Thanks. I really dont ahev any problems getting souped for my next workout-although getting up at 330 in the morning takes a toll on me. As far as DOM is concerned, it used to be the first 2-3 days would be a sore on after; I started doing the NHA stack and it would seem like a better 1-2 days only. Not bad?

I got on the scale this morning. I didnt like what I saw, but I am a bit perplexed. I only lost 1 lb of fat, but even though I am only about 20 lbs short of my contest weight, I feel and look harder. More veins are popping, my strength is up considerably and I'm restricting carbs somewhat to the AM and post training, upped the protein and added a little more fat. I dont feel like I am on a diet. I dont feel the grogginess, nor did I lose ANY strength that I experience when restricting carbs.
Do I account the stack this? Hard to say, but I think it is helping thus far.

That's a very interesting stack. What ingredients do activate and rebound XT contain?

I'm not happy with the small decreases in fat loss, so I started to use my "secret weapon" . HIIT training-I've done it during almost every show and it is probably the one key factor that gets me so low in BF. I do only 3 workouts a week, adding one minute cycles to each week. It works very well. I think it works so well because my body seems to get used to the low impact boring dull-ass cardio. I hate that shit.

Anyway I also altered my diet a little; on smaller bodypart days (shoulders or arms) i will forgo the second meal of oatmeal an hour later after PW supplementation is administered.
