they're great eh!!? ! great work on them btw!! 
haha awesome workout today mike, I was tryin to get ahold of you first to say that I think theres somethin to this San V12, the pumps in my arms and chest were amazing, not my best workout but it felt great.
Nice Squats!!
P.F. Chang???s rocks!!
P.F. Chang???s rocks!!
PreMier- Yeah man, this girl I know always goes on and on about how great it is, at least now I know for myself that the food is friggin' awesome. I didn't realize that in Delaware we actually P.F. Chang's about 45 minutes away. Not too bad at all for such a good restaurant. Thanks for the support man. Yeah, so far V-12 is friggin' awesome, and it tastes fabulous.
Monolith- Yeah I was definitely pleased with 385 for a single on ATF squats. I'll definitely have to get a video of them up. They were extremely deep. My knees were almost aching at the bottom of each rep, lol. I don't think that I have ever gone that deep before in squats, like ever in my life. Thanks for the support.
Jen- Yeah I am completely in love with ATF squats. I always saw them in people's journals and never actually gave them a shot before today. I definitely am a huge fan of them. You might want to give extended ROM deadlifts a shot, they're really really intense.
GRIFF- Yeah man, definitely. So far, this is only my first use of V-12, but so far I absolutely love it. Pumps today at the gym were just nuts. But anyway, I ended up getting the tropical fruit flavor I think it is, and damn it's good tasting! I put it in my Powerade and it made it really sweet, far better tasting than regular old creatine.
yellowmoomba- Thanks a lot for the support man, I absolutely love ATF squats, so you're probably going to start seeing them on a more regular basis. And yes, P.F. Chang's is my new favorite restaurant! I got a "Flirtini Martini" and a "Zombie" and those 2 drinks are friggin' awesome!

Hey Mike,
Have you had any problems with water retention that you've noticed?? I noticed on my cycle of 1ad/4ad I'm retaining water like a mutha.

yellowmoomba- LOL, yeah it's great. I'll be 21 in a few months so it's really not that big of a deal. But it's just kinda' nice not to have to worry about not being able to get a mixed drink if I want one.
I'm Trying- Yeah I am retaining water like crazy man, lol. My abs are barely even visible. And even though I know that I am leaner now than I have been in a while, my abs are almost completely not visible. When it comes to vascularity though, I don't feel like I am retaining too much. Could be my diet as well, I don't keep track of my sodium intake at all.

A flirtini martini?? Sounds Good 
o-dub: besides the itchy rash on your ass, shrinking of the testes, and development of breast tissue there is really no REAL side effect of san v-12, love the pump though, definetly worth the price of the sides and money.
o-dub- Hey man, I have only taken in twice now, but my pumps were friggin' awesome in both workouts. So at this point I can say that it's definitely a good supplement. But again, it's honestly too soon to really say anything for sure. Thanks for the post.
Andrea- Yeah, it was definitely good!
GRIFF- I hope that o-dub knows that you're joking, lol. The pumps so far is all I have really noticed at this point.

Diet:
- MRP + 1% milk + banana
- breaded chicken fingers
- peanut butter & banana sandwich
- Powerade during workout, whey protein postworkout
- spicy chicken sandwich, breaded chicken fingers
- Meso-Tech bar, Odyssey bar
- whey protein + 2% milk
- grilled chicken breast, baked potato, 3 Long Island's, tropical martini
- chicken wrap
Damn, a lotta' calories that I took in today. Really packed in a ton, I am not sure why. Ended up going out tonight to T.G.I. Friday's and then a bar, and got completely smashed. Not the best idea in the whole world, but oh well. Took in roughly 5K calories today. This is a very rough estimate. Also took in about 350g of protein, as well.
Sleep: 7.5 hours.
Weight: 227 lbs. Weight has been steady the past few days. I am curious what I weigh back at home at the scale I normally use.
Push
Hammer Strength Bench Presses
110x12, 200x10, 290x8, 380x4!, 250x13
Suspended BB Presses
275x2, 275x2, 275x2, 245x3, 245x3, 245x3, 295x0
Seated French Presses
105x12, 105x12, 105x10, 105x10
Machine Lateral Raises
Dropset: 140x7, 110x7, 80x7, 50x7
Workout today was pretty good. I was definitely a little stiff from my last push workout. Really hit my chest and triceps hard, though. Started off with HS bench presses, which are okay I guess. I have mixed feelings about Hammer Strength equipment, honestly. Worked up to 4 plates per side for 4, which was definitely a big PR for me. Then moved onto suspended bench. Which is basically just bench pressing from the bottom position, in the power rack. I started with the bar about 1/2" from my chest. Hit 3 sets of 2 with 275, and then 3 sets of 3 with 245. At that point I was exhausted, and could barely budge 295.
Moved onto seated French presses for my triceps, which tore the f*ck outta??? my triceps. Really hit my triceps hard with these 4 sets. Especially since my triceps were already exhausted from the HS presses and the suspended bench. Finished up today with Life Fitness or some sh*t lateral raises. I prefer the Nautilus machine at home completely. Good dropset though, my delts were on fire.
Day 22 of S1+ today. So far I am not sure what I think, still. I mean I guess it???s working but again, nothing dramatic. I still have about half a bottle left and then another full bottle to use up. But anyway, no huge PR???s in terms of my strength at all, that???s for sure. I would like to hit a new deadlift PR before I finish up the S1+.

mmmmmmmmmmm I love peanut butter & banana 
great bench and french presses! did you do them (FP's ) with cambered bar or straight?
and give the S1 a bit more time, your weight is up.. so thats a good sign.. keep eating enough and training hard!

Monolith- Yeah I know that I really shouldn't be complaining if the truth is known. I mean I am hitting PR's, its just that reading the reviews for S1+ I expected so much more than what I am getting. Maybe because guys kept reporting gains of 15-20 lbs. in 3-4 weeks. I could just be expecting too much, I mean I am about 99% sure that I am making gains. Whether or not its because of the S1+ or my increased calories or increased protein intake, I am not really sure. The next time I try 625, I am definitely going to make a video clip of it.
Jen- Yeah peanut butter & banana sandwiches are GREAT, and on whole-wheat bread they're honestly not really that bad for you if you ask me. I did the French presses today with a CG on a cambered-bar, thanks for asking. Yeah my weight and strength are both increasing, so I guess I shouldn't really complain.

wrong place to ask this bro, its creatine, no side effects other than what can be linked to creatine.
o-dub- Yeah, this is really not the place to ask about V-12 man, if you're curious post a thread in the supplement forum. V-12 is a creatine product, by the way, and I have not experienced any side effects. For a description of the product, look here:
http://www.1fast400.com/?products_id=205
And, for some reviews on the product, look here:

GRIFF- Thanks man, appreciate it. So far I am absolutely loving V-12.

Do 8 sets of 2 on 6" Lockouts next time. And then come back to this.
Strengthening one portion of a full ROM will increase strength in other portions of the ROM. In a nutshell, if you increase your lockout strength, you'll also increase your strength of the chest.
o-dub- I know you PM'ed me about it man, and I am telling you now that I don't have enough experience to really say whether its effective or not. Again, post a thread in the supplement forum.
SF- Okay hold up, so you're saying my next push session for my high-set/low-rep technique I should do 6" lockouts, correct? My strength on suspended bench honestly was not as great as I would have liked. Not the worst in the world but could have been a LOT better, IMO. Thanks for the post.

Diet:
- MRP + 2% milk
- peanut butter toast
- tuna sandwich
- Powerade during workout, whey protein postworkout
- turkey & cheese sandwich, apple
- 4 spicy breaded chicken breasts
- whey protein
- Long Island, Sex on the Beach
- turkey & cheese sandwich, salad + vinegarette dressing
Diet was okay. Ended up drinking some mixed drinks again, which was honestly not the smartest thing in the whole world. Whatever. Took in roughly 4.5K calories I would say, and right around 330g of protein or so today, just a guess.
Sleep: 7 hours. Sh*tty sleep, woke up a few times. Not being able to sleep straight through on this S1+ stuff is really starting to irritate the f*ck outta' me.
Pull
CG Cable Pulldowns
120x12, 150x10, 180x8, 210x6!, 150x14
T-Bar Rows
305x3, 305x3, 305x3, 305x3, 305x3, 305x3, 345x4!
CG Cable Rows
210x12, 210x12, 210x12
Concentration Curls
40x12, 40x12, 40x12
Dropset: 40x10, 30x10, 20x10
Damn, friggin' GREAT workout today. I was so surprised that I had such a good workout. I really didn't expect to with sleep last night that could have been better, WAY too many godd*mn drinks last night, etc. I am definitely happy right now. Worked out in my basement so my weights on the cable exercises are going to be off.
Started off with CG pulldowns, hit my lats hard. Hit a PR in pulldowns. Basically because 210 is the entire stack on the Paramount machine that I have in my basement, and I have never been able to do pulldowns with that weight. So I am definitely pleased, even if it is a b*tch cable exercise. Moved onto some heavy ghetto style t-bar rows. Used 305 for 6 sets of 3. Took a video clip of 305 for a triple. Definitely hit my midback and lats hard. Then I moved onto 345 for 4, huge PR here! Took a video clip of 345 for 4 as well. Used some momentum, but on this kind of exercise I dont think it's a big deal. I only have two 45's in my basement, so to load up 345 I had to use two 45's, two 35's, four 25's, and four 10 lbs. plates, LOL.
Finished up with some cable rows, finished my back off nicely. And finally some concentration curls which I am liking more and more to hit my biceps. They're definitely a Men's Health exercise but I still think they do a pretty good at getting the job done.
Day 23 of S1+. So far so good. Today in the mirror I definitely looked large. Strength today in my pull session was all around up. Now I think I can honestly say that I am starting to see some noticeable improvements on S1+. For whatever reason it took a while to get to this point. Even my chest/delts/arms in the mirror look larger to me. Still need to keep my diet in order, would like to tighten up just a tad since it is summer.
Missed my 2nd application today of S1+. I am going to try and use 3 applications tomorrow, damnit.

That's exactly what I'm saying. If you do 8 sets of 2 on 6" lockouts with 400 or whatever is heavy for you in that ROM, and then come back next session with suspended bench, I'm pretty sure you'll handle that 295 without much trouble.
PreMier- Actually man I only weigh in on days that I actually go to the gym. Today I worked out in my basement, so I don't trust any of the scales at my house, lol. Thanks for noticing, though.
SF- Okay man, I will do that. I'll do 8 sets of 2 in lockouts my next push session, and then the following push session I'll do suspended bench as my first lift and see what kind weights I am throwing around. Anything else you want to add, as always, please feel free.
Jen- Thanks for the post Jen. Yeah I was happy with my t-bar row strength today. I am waiting for Rob to upload the videos so you guys can see that kind of momentum that I am using with 345. The S1+ is finally kicking in I think, and I did take ZMA last night, I just had too much to friggin' drink.
