Found a good combination that is working for me.
Wakeup
1 cup of joe
Pre-workout (30 minutes before)
1 Scoop BPI PUMP-HD
1 Scoop IsoPro low carb
Intra Workout (during)
1 Scoop xtend
Post Workout (immediately after)
1 Scoop BPI BCAA
1 Scoop IsoPro low carb
Bed Time
600 MG magnesium <=important or I can’t sleep 
and careful it makes you poop
Man that’s a huge amount of exercises…If you’re a bodybuilder eating 10,000 calories a day and roiding fine, but if you’re just trying to get strong, why not just 5x5 some compound lifts and call it a day? I’d 86 about 3/4 of those exercises.
Have not needed to go the gear route, but recover has been getting hard in my old age. Intake 3200 cals
Last weeks checkup 5’6" 168lb, 9% fat
I have been thinking about leaning out lately(wife keeps asking me to too), but every time I step in the gym and see the big guys I just go for it.
Yeah, you’re probably doing yourself more harm at this point than if you took a chill pill, ate a double big mac meal and a couple beers, and binged on TWD- letting a day go for some recovery then getting back on track tomorrow.
Sounds a bit O/C.
Unless you are on a heavy anabolic cycle you are overtraining OR your intensity is WAY too low. What is goal strength gain, hypertrophy or fat loss. What progress have you seen on your 22 day streak? I would suggest a better program of 4 to 5 days lifting targeting 45 - 60 minutes with volume / rest / reps adjusted for your goal.
LULz, come for motivation and I got a bunch of CPT’s telling me I MUST be using gear to be going at the rate I am.
No injury to date.
9% fat, 5’6" 168 lbs.
Body feels fine, still making meaningful gains targeting antagonistic groups @ 80% max.
If I injure myself you can all pull the “I told you so”, but that is not why I made this thread.
Sounds like you are motivated.
Carry on and good luck!
I am 63 years old and lift 5 days a week by myself at home.
When I bench or do dumbbell work no one there to help… doesn’t affect my motivation to train…
Hold old are you and how long have you been training?
You made the thread asking others to help motivate you to follow a poorly designed and thought out program. They simply (and correctly) pointed out your program poorly designed and thought out vs motivating you to continue said poorly designed and thought out program. It’s amazing to me in this day and age, with all the solid info out there, most of it free, at our fingertips, that a program like that still exists, but there it is. It’s like 1989 called and handed you a program to follow.
Back int the day, all we had were the muscle mags, and guys at the gym to follow/get advice from, which is why poorly designed programs, that took 2 hours to complete, etc continued.
Today there’s really no excuse for it. I’d recommend BB.com or other forums where clueless types who follow similar programs will be happy to “motivate” to continue such a poorly designed and though out program.
There’s also threads on this forum that touch on the issue of programming here and you can find a ton of it at sites likeEliteFTS as well as my site, etc.
You are somehow missing the point and It could not be any clearer.
Tongue and cheek thread, did not ask for a critique.
Program works for me, gets results.
The moment someone says, “the correct routine”, “the correct way” I tune out, No one size fits all. Been in it long enough to know the correct way becomes the wrong way in the blink of an eye depending on someone’s point of view perception of what being fit means or some product they are trying to push. Come on, you can’t even get CPT working in the same gym to agree on a routine.
TNation says “X”
Muscle mag says “X”
BB.com says “X” (these guys flip flop almost daily, even glorify celebrity(D. Johnson) workouts that are vastly more intense than mine, then turning around and say 30 minutes is all you need)
Point is, this was intended to be a light hearted thread on a day I needed a push. If I’m looking for a change in my routine I’ll start a thread titled “hey looking for a change what do you guys think?”
Anyways, thread is old, got to the gym. Worked out, nor my head or testies exploded so mission accomplished.
Perhaps if you want instant gratification and pats on the back, you should get on Facebook…
Perhaps.
As seemingly moronic 90% of the users on the FB are, they can at least pick up on context.
I guess everything here is just serious business, and that is the vibe I’m getting this is all about business.
You think this page IS A JOKE?!?
Take your fat ass back to the gym, you 'roid monkey.
How’d I do?
Let us know how long your streak makes it to!
Indeed…I’m done with this thread. You can lead a horse to water and all that.
Not bad LOL!
You should do some reading regarding sit ups and lower back injury and behind neck press and shoulder injury. 2 hours per day 23+ days in a row with bad exercise selection. Not to be A… but this is an epicically poor program design. You will get much better results with less injury risk with a more sensible program.
Good luck.
Screw these haters, dude. On behalf of the orthopedic medical community, I would like to personally thank you for your hard work and commitment. My Benz ain’t gonna pay for itself. Preciate ya, bruh.
:sarcastic:
I’ve often wondered about this. It’s one of the reasons I think Kelly Starrett is a smart guy; dude positions himself right smack dab in the middle of one of the more injury-prone forms of exercise, opens a Crossfit gym, and practices physical therapy with an emphasis on treating sports-related injury. Genius.
Beating a dead horse here…
For every exercise there is always some article out there saying “x” exercise is bad.
Don’t do flat bench, it will tear a pectoral.
Don’t do dips is will tear a rotor cuff.
Don’t do sit ups it will cause a spine injury.
Don’t do heal kicks it will cause a neck injury.
Don’t do planks if will cause a shoulder injury.
Don’t use foam rollers, they cause nerve damage.
Don’t do back extensions can herniate a disk.
Don’t compete in crossfit 73% of reported injury, even the founder rejects it now.
Don’t do squats can lead to quadracept patella tendon injury.
Don’t do seated leg press can causes lower spine and hip injury.
Don’t do lat pull downs can damage the rotor cuff.
Don’t do cable rows, can lead to back rounding and damage ligaments.
Don’t use kettle bells high risk of back injury.
on and on and on.
How in the world did anyone get fit in the previous century without the super cool iPad aps and supplements?
Alas I’m done, This has ran its course. Thanks to those that took the context of this thread correctly, the world needs more levity.
