Back in the dark and gloom.

Properly back into the swing of things today, up at 3am for the preworkout meal, tell you what, when you have 6 pins on the cards you definitely don’t need a cold shower to wake up.

Energy has been solid and level on NAD+ and Mots ( Thankyou @Ascension Peptides ) I did notice a slight lightheadedness but I’ve learnt that’s a common side effect when we start the loading phase. I noticed I was still gassed after a lift but didn’t need as long to get the drive back.

Sleep 5/10 only managed a little over 5 hours
Energy 9/10
Steps: Cardio was done after the lift so 25m at 5kph and 11 incline. Managed a hare under 6k

Another day.
Another dollar.

We had a cracking good workout this session, trained on an injectable blend by one of the SCL boys and I must say it was a treat. Clean, steady energy and distractions were non existent. Mixed with the lumps we get from Var and well, I had a calf pump while training shoulder aha.

I really need to get better at weighing myself daily for tracking the average.

Sleep: 7/10
Energy: 8/10
Headspace:7/10
Overall: 7/10. Pretty sore from slinging plates in a few kitchens around the place.

Cardio: nothing. We ran out of time today but I did manage a hair over 18,000 steps running around the pass

Macros: Rough. While I stuck pretty well to my meals, having to taste every other plate that goes out will obviously not help the situation.

Hoax what a song ! I’ve seen angerfist live a lot of times and never gets old

 

[JackedInTheKitchen]

lots of volume that Mots-C and NAD+ treating you well?

Yeah. Seems to be pretty steady on the energy front although it’s too soon to know I guess? Like I’m out of breath but there is still steam.

No cardio but did 18000 steps. Lol bro I'll be huffing and puffing at 8k.

Running around a kitchen for 10 hours is an easy way to not notice the steps haha.

Only pretty new to his tunes but seems to be an absolute cracker!

Thanks man. Need to make sure I own the time I get.

Ten hours moving around a kitchen is the kind of step count people pay a coach to talk them into, and it not registering as effort is exactly why chefs get away with murder on the cardio front legend.

Best part is if you tracked my movement, I probably only moved within a 30sqm radius haha.

Back and forth down the line. I blame bending down all day into lowboys for my decent calves… and my fucked knees

Kitchen calves off years of bending into lowboys is a real thing, and the knees are usually the price for that same movement done ten thousand times without ever being loaded properly.

Dark and Punky

Another day, another 3am start.
I swear the hardest part about training early is just attempting to get the pre workout meal in at 3:15am, but the coach demands it to happen and we ain’t no bitch so it gets done.

Day starts with the Test E (Lovingly sponsored by @Southern Cross Labs find him here and on UGLTalk now!) Mondays we have added in MOTS-C and NAD+(Lovingly supplied by @Ascension Peptides, find them on here)

Energy has been rock solid, still too early to know if it’s placebo but I’ve noticed that even though I’m gassed, there is still fuel to burn which is good.

Sleep: 7/10
Energy: 8/10
Headspace:8/10
Overall: 8/10.

Cardio: 20m at 5kph on 12 incline. Currently hit 9500 steps

Macros: Rock solid today. Not a gram left.
