Test Eth Cycle....

[brandonp005]

DAMn, lol nvm i take long breaks after mine. Not too long, couple minutes. Any advantage to soing it your way vs mine?

I mainly just do it for the cardio effect of it...i'm really winded by the end of it...then i take about 2 mins and jump right into my leg extensions...my workouts are fairly fast paced...the only time i take a couple minutes in between sets is on my squats, deads, and bench.

I have 2 other guys that work out with me. As soon as one finishes his set, the other begins.

NTKTS...its great man...the pumps and energy are amazing...also the first couple times you take it, the niacin flush if pretty fucking cool also...you should give it a try sometime

drop it for 2-3 days. then go back on. starts the flush all over again.

Brandon, i think im gonna start doing lunges your way for the cardio effects too. Basic question but if i did it my way would it put on more size/strength?

I would think that your way would put on more size/strength for the fact that your moving more weight. I've just never been a big fan of heavy lunges. I've always loved light weight, fast paced, little rest, long and deep lunges. I really prefer barbell lunges, but the other day all the good barbells were being used so I settled for the DBs. Put about 65-85lbs on a barbell and do them they way I do and you'll definately be feeling it bro, especially if you blast your legs with heavy squats first!
