pahayden_14's Need2Slin Log

[pahayden_14]

Having a rest day. So far, the only things I've noticed since starting need2slin is that I feel hot a lot of the time and that I feel hungrier than usual.

Looking forward to getting back in to the gym tomorrow and hitting it hard.

When food is being shuttled into the muscles properly, you will get hungry a lot faster, which is a good thing!

i also notice the hotness a bit too, as well as killer pumps!

yep - also about 2 hours, but I get a headache to go with mine too as a reminder to eat

I weighed 88.9kg today.

I killed it in the gym today, had mad focus and my endurance was amazing. I felt like I could just keep going, so I hope that's down to need2slin. Didn't have killer pumps, just my usual which are pretty good anyway.

I felt that I could have kept going and done more, but decided I should end it there because I had been going at it hard and knew that my cortisol levels would just keep getting higher the longer I carried on. I ended my workout off by doing HIIT on my cycle home.

As the aas part of my cycle has been over for a week now and I will be starting pct in a week I decided that I would cut down my diet a bit. I will cut out some carbs from breakfast, afternoon snack and evening snack. I don't think that they will have a negative effect on the slin because I take them with my main meals and before bed so the carbs in between meals aren't needed in as high a quantity and I hope it will help the slin to lean me out even more.

My weight today is 88.3kg, so just a bit under yesterday.

My workout today was good, still a high level of focus and plenty of stamina, which is a welcome bonus on leg day.

Legs:

Smith squats - 6x50kg, 6x60kg, 6x70kg, 6x75kg, 6x75kg, 6x70kg, 6x60kg, 6x50kg
Smith one and a half squats - 3x6 @ 40kg
Smith bulgarian split squats - 3x6 @ 30kg (each leg)
Smith alternating seated calf raise - 75x50kg (each leg)
Seated leg curl - 25x45.5kg, 20x54.5kg, 15x63.5kg
Machine leg curl - 3 sets to failure @ 54.5kg (I use a really slow controlled negative and held at peak contraction)

Back:

T-bar bent over row - 10x25kg, 3x10 @50kg
Close grip underhand lat pulldown - 5x12 @ 36kg
Wide grip pull up - 5 sets to failure
Cable seated close row - 5x10 @ 45kg

For all the back exercises I used very short rest periods (10-15 secs) between sets.

I usually take casein protein before bed, and am wondering what you guys think about doing this and taking a need2slin before bed (which is what have been doing).

My weight was 88.3kg again today.

I don't go to the gym today, so it's mostly a rest day. I did do some work on my abs and got a real good burn in them.

I am not experiencing the feelings of being hot any more, but I do still feel hungry even though I'm eating every 2.5-3 hours.

today was day three on it for me, and i definitely was noticing the appetite increase!
