pahayden_14's Need2Slin Log

[pahayden_14]

Thanks for the advice needto. I'm taking slin 30 mins before breakfast/end of my workout/lunch/dinner/before bed. I added 4 gear before workout with shake/after workout with shake and will have another dose with afternoon snack. I'm wondering if I should drop the slin I take before bed because I don't take any carbs before bed, just a casein shake so I'm not sure it the slin is going to be doing much for me. What do you think needto?

Another good workout today, had a nice pump in all the muscle groups I was working. My weight is staying steady and I think there is a bit of leaning out going on, but it's fairly slow. My diet is spot on at the moment and I will try and figure out the amount of kcals I'm taking in sometime over the weekend.

Did some isometric neck exercises and ab work today, but other than that I won't be working out any more today as I take the weekend off. I've been taking Gear and so far all seems ok, my legs are totally fine after a heavy workout earlier in the week, but I'm not sure if the Gear had anything to do with that or it was just that they needed time.

I had an Oh Yeah! protein bar today, they taste really good. Shame they are expensive. I'll probably try some of the need2 protein bars either when I make my next order or when a UK distribution thing is set up.

A rest day today, so just relaxing and looking forward to getting back in to the gym tomorrow and hitting it hard. Feeling good and am happy with the progress so far.

Was happy to hear that people are liking my log. I found that the hunger issue with need2slin only lasted the first week...

My workout today was brutal. I really focused on the negative section of the lifts, using a very controlled and slow descent of the weight, and it turned out to be hard work...

Chest:

Dumbbell flye - 2x12 @ 10kg (this is just a warm up to get the blood in to my chest)
Cable crossover - 12x36kg, 12x41kg (I would usually do this towards the end of my chest workout, but I was having to wait to get on the smith machine and wanted to keep blood in my chest muscles)
Smith bench press - 10x30kg, 8x40kg, 8x50kg, 8x50kg, 8x50kg, 8x40kg
Smith incline bench press - 8x30kg, 8x40kg, 8x40kg, 8x30kg, 8x30kg
Smith decline bench press - 10x30kg, 8x40kg, 8x50kg, 8x40kg, 8x40kg
Machine chest press - 8x54.5kg, 8x63.5kg, 8x72.5kg, 8x63.5kg (I did negatives on the last 3 sets when I had reached failure)

Triceps:

Bench dip - 20, 13, 12 reps
Cable triceps overhead extension - 3x14 @ 22.5kg
Standing triceps pressdown - 3x15 @ 36kg
Unilateral cable pressdown - 11x18kg, 7x20.5kg (I did negatives after I had reached failure on both sets)

Forearms:

Seated barbell wrist curl - 20x15kg, 8x40kg, 8x40kg, 30x15kg
Seated barbell reverse wrist curl - 20x15kg, 12x25kg, 10x25kg, 30x15kg
Standing reverse barbell curl - 20x15kg, 5x25kg, 5x25kg, 27x15kg

Biceps:

Hammer curl - 20x8kg, 7x16kg, 8x16kg, 25x8kg
Cable biceps curl 21s - 5 sets @ 16kg
Unilateral cable bicep curls - 12x16kg, 8x18kg, 5x20.5kg (I did negatives after I had reached failure on each set)

I was totally wrecked after the workout. Concentrating on the negative phase of the lifts is taxing, but then doing negatives for the last exercise on all but my forearms was like torture. My biceps in particular had a pump like I've never felt before, I thought they were going to explode and they were absolutely massive with all the blood in them. It remains to be seen how much I'm feeling it tomorrow, but I have faith in the need2slin and now the gear that they will treat me good. Anyway, the feeling of DOMS the next day gives a sense of achievement and a knowing that you gave it all you had... Legs tomorrow, so that will be interesting... KTS.

Well, so far so good with the aftermath of yesterdays workout. I feel slightly sore in places, but pretty much mild and nothing that stopped me from going full throttle with todays workout.

Legs:

Machine leg extension - 2x12 @ 54.5kg (this was just to pre-exhaust my legs)
One and a half squats - 6x30kg, 6x40kg, 6x45kg, 6x50kg, 6x55kg, 6x40kg
Machine leg press - 14x100kg, 13x100kg (this was 2 sets for each leg and when I hit failure I did negatives)
Seated leg curl - 14x27.5kg, 10x27.5kg (this was 2 sets for each leg and when I hit failure I did negatives)
Machine leg extension - 14x27.5kg, 12x27.5kg (this was 2 sets for each leg and when I hit failure I did negatives)
Machine calf raise - 75x54.5kg, 50x54.5kg (this was 2 sets for each leg and when I was done I couldn't feel my calves for a few seconds... then the pain started)

Back:

T-bar bent over row - 10x25kg, 5x10 @ 50kg
Wide grip pull ups - 5x10 reps
Vertical row machine - 5x12 @ 45.5kg
Close/reverse grip lat pulldown - 5x12 @ 45.5kg
Unilateral dumbbell bent over row - 14x20kg, 12x20kg (this was 2 sets for each side and when I hit failure I did negatives)

I really concentrated on the negative phases of all lifts again today, making sure that I was fighting it all the way with total control and excellent form. Adding the negatives was a real killer and I was feeling totally drained after my leg workout and was close to being sick... it wasn't going to stop me though... after a few minutes rest and some water I was good to go and started my back workout (a sweet lat flare will be mine). The 3 mile ride home was not cool, my legs were not co-operating but I just took it easy at a steady pace and was glad to get back so I could collapse... The pain of the days workout was substituted with a pain in my wallet after I purchased 10 bottles of gear and 10 bottles of need2slin, and a packet of the better protein bars (even with the discount code it was a big wad of cash... but well worth it).

Not feeling any DOMS today after my leg workout yesterday, so the slin and gear are doing their stuff. My muscles feel full, vascularity improves each week and my body composition is continuing to change also.

I'm not at the gym today, but have done some ab work. The remainder of the day will be dedicated to resting my muscles so that they are ready for the next session.
