Nice bro. Noticeable leg mass increase.

You have to buy new jeans/pants yet? lol...that's no fun.

Yea, I have.... but I don't mind it...gives me more of a sense of accomplishment. Lookin forward to buying more soon!

I've been right around 5,000 throughout, it's been working real well...although has slowed a bit, so i will be bumping it a little bit soon. How's the cutting going?

 

[jpt]

cutting is going aight...i have no set date in mind or anything like that so my cheat meals have become more frequent gotta stop slacking!

Mostly clean, the majority of my cals come from oats, eggs, chicken, steak, pasta, almonds, cottage cheese, milk, potatoes, peanut butter, whey.

I don't eat any candy, chips, sweets of any kind....don't drink soda, but do have a couple beers every couple weeks. So for the most part it's been pretty clean, but if I get the urge to have some pizza or something, I just go with it....not that worried about it at this stage... glad to hear the cut is still going well, those cheat meals are keeping you sane though, just keep at them or reduce them slowly. It's the holidays, you gotta eat!!!

 

[jpt]

yeah i'm not a big candy or sweets guy either.....but things like pizza and pasta i crave! the pasta i use the mulitgrain....def not the same but it kills the urge a little...pizza..well there is no substitute ...it just needs to be done some times to stay sane like you said! keep it up brutha...

Week 10 - Day 2 - Nov 30th -

Squat - 4x5 - 150x5, 175x5, 200x5, 200x5
Inclines - 4x5 - 135x5, 160x5, 185x5, 210x5
Deadlift - 4x5 - 160x5, 200x5, 240x5, 280x5
Barbell Shrugs - 1x135x8, 1x205x8, 1x225x8

On a side note, I started taking Amplify02-xt and PureMcc today, I took 9 caps today for my first dosage, normally I lift at 9-10am, today I had to lift at 4pm because of the snow. I felt a little laggy and tired, but about 25mins after taking the amp02 I felt great and ready to lift. I was a little worried about my inclines today, as it's a PR for me, all 5 reps went up with ease, I attribute this at least partway to the amp and puremcc. There actually is a better sense of concentration even from the first dose of the amp, and a better energy level without feeling shaky or cracked out. Now, Im not really into caring about getting a great pump when lifting, if it happens it happens...but I don't base my gains or how good my workout was on the pump I got, thats just stupid, and I see a lot guys who thats all they live for..this is not an exageration, I had to wait almost 10 minutes between my 3rd and 4th set on deads because my lower back pump was too crazy for me to bend over. It will be interesting to feel on day 3 when I do my arm sets. I'm looking forward to see how my strength is affected over the next couple weeks by adding these two supps in, I will keep posting, and I think they will be a good gauge as most of my lifts are getting hard for me, and I'm in week 10 of my 5x5 training.

I had to ease back on the Amp02 - I liked it a lot but the lower back would get overly pumped on Squats, Deads, and Rows so for me I decided to shelf them.... I was also taking them w/ Dbol which as most know is hell on lower back and shin pumps......either way it is not for me but as long as it dosen't interfere w/ your compound lifts then enjoy.

I did give a handful to a coworker that was taking NoXplode and he said there was no comparison - i agree as Amp02 is a superior product for those looking for the pump.

As for the PureMCC I think as much red meat as you are eating it may be a waste at this point - might consider saving it for when you cut your cals back. Just my .02

All your lifts are progressing nicely. I bet the Squat and Dead keep rising quickly.

Thanks for the reply Al, I'll go through the bottle and post my opinions on it throughout. True about the creatine in red meats, but I'd like to see if it makes a difference, as I won't be cutting calories at least for another few months. I can just buy some more when I do and give that a go also. I expected to stall out on most of my lifts before this, but still haven't stalled on any, but things were getting harder, so I think I will be able to gauge how well they are working for strength based on that. Thanks again for the support! I value your opinion greatly.

at first i thought the amp02 was great but then like al said i had to cut back. 3/4 through my workout i felt like i needed to take a break b/c the pump was too crazy. i enjoyed it while it lasted though...as for the creatine i only noticed a difference when i was training 30 sec rests btwn sets...helped with endurance a little at the end of the workout.. didn't do a thing for me though when i was trying to make prs every week.

are those all pr's? good shit bro!
