Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 47 | WEEK 2 DAY 7 JUNE 12 2006 MONDAY MOOD All is well in FnF land I am sleeping better / harder ever since I started this stack, I dont know if its because of training, food, supps, or all 3 but its a good thing!TRAINING Today was my first Chest / Shoulder workout on this new routine, Last Monday I did the old workout as I started this plan on a Tuesday. I have some new exercises and modifications to old ones. The good news is I was able to do the 30 pound DB's today on Military Press for 6 reps each, Viper supported my elbow to get me past a sticky joint and then I was fine on my own, he was there to rescue me if needed though. Im hoping that some therapy exercises can help this elbow issue and cissus rx. One of the new exercises was a 5-3-1 Bench press, I ended up doing this on the smith machine to be safe, I dont always have a spotter ( Viper) and for me safety is important. It went well, all except a horrid pain I got in my Pec tie in area, sorta armpit on right side ( same side as surgery) I will stretch even more next time to see if this improves, it was not a good feeling, made me very cautious, I kept waiting for something to snap, and I prayed on the last set, LOL. I also did rear side laterals with db's, I suck at these!!!! form is so hard to get for me on this, when I am bent over I am a little unbalanced in the shoulder area because of past surgery, I dont know if that will ever go away, My surgeon says its commom because after surgery you pull your shoulder in tight to body to guard it, Plus for me one side is fixed with screws and the other side is still very loose, so there will be a difference, I must keep working towards perfection to see if I can repair this on my own. I did shrugs today for the first time, OMG what nasty faces you make when doing those, LOL!!!!!!!!!! And im feeling them traps this morning. PS. If anyone has any tips for me on how to stretch your chest before workout, by all means TELL ME!!!!!!!!! SUPPLEMENTS Ahhhhhh HYPERDRIVE MANIA!!!!!!!!!!!! You cant stop me when im in the Hyperdrive seat This stimulant rocks!!!!! I am also getting the best pumps of my life on the N-gorge + Primed, Holy cow shoulda saw my shoulders last night!!!!!!! Even my arms were huge with pumps, It felt great too. The special tactics must be working already as with my huge calorie increase I have only gained about 1/2 of what was expected by EME, and I even skipped cardio one night. I really like taking the pill form of creatine in the n-gorge, so much easier, it works pretty darn fast too, I can feel that and primed within 20 minutes of taking it. SPECIAL NOTES Holla to Dawn She is back!!!!!!! and Spaceclown ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 51 | FnF, You need to be very careful with that Pec. That pain you felt is exactly where your pec usually tears, when it tears. Multiply what you felt by about 50, and then imagine that Pec Shoulder tie in ripping into about 20 pieces and sending your pec rolling up into the middle of your chest ... and you have my pec tear. I really don't want you doing those on the Smith Machine. If you aren't able to have a spotter, then we'll need to change that exercise. As for stretching your pec. First, sit on the bench facing out as if you were about to lay down and bench press, but sit just in front of the uprights that support the bar. Extend both your arms out to the side with your palms facing forward. Reach back with both arms and place your palms against the upright supports. Your body should be slightly in front of the uprights so that your arms have to extend out and slightly behind you to do this. Then, lean gently slightly forward and hold so that you are stretching that pec / shoulder tie in area. Do this several times before starting, and between every set. Then, go over to the chin up bar and hang from the bar with your arms extended all the way above your head and with your weight simply hanging an stretching out that same area. Do this with a Wide grip, and with a narrow grip. Finally, between sets, while sitting up, cross your arms across and back in front on your body like you simulating doing cable crossovers, but go all the way across your body with both arms, and the all the way back out. Do this over and over for about 10-15 reps to get the blood flowing in your chest and to get the muscles warm. I do this between every set also. You need to seriously pay attention to that feeling you felt. That was your Pectoralis Major tendon telling you it wasn't happy. If it gets really unhappy it's going to decide not to play anymore and you'll be out for 6 months like I was. We don't want that to happen, so we need to rethink your chest training if you felt that on your very first bench day. ![]() Let's talk about this before you do that workout again! - EME

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 47 | WEEK 2 DAY 8 JUNE 13 2006 TUESDAY OFF DAY FOR WEIGHT TRAINING NOTES: Well I needed this day off for sure, body is sore from day before. It pays to stretch more before exercise! And from now on I will do even more than I already do, although the stretch machine we use doesnt really help with chest, and now I have some good exercises to stretch the chest for future workouts. I spent several hours working out in the yard, mowing, trimming, weeding, watering, cleanup. It never ends out there. There are lots of baby birds being born and fledging already ![]() The hyperdrive has kept me moving all day through all the things I needed to do, I had lots of errands to run to and did everything I wanted to get done Oh funny thing, the N-Gorge I took in the morning, I had pumps while using the weed trimmer and mowing, LOL , It seems any physical activity at all makes the pumps come right away!You will notice on my non-training days my calories are lower, it makes it alot easier to eat the smaller amount of food. Have a great day!!!!! ![]() |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 47 | WEEK 2 DAY 9 JUNE 15 2006 WEDNESDAY MOOD Mood has been great during my new bulking diet and getting accustomed to all 5 ALRI supplements! I continue to wake up early, as if I dont require as much sleep as before but yet at the same time I feel more refreshed. I feel as if I am ready for anything! TRAINING ![]() Ya thats the first thing I want to say!!! I had the most awesome workout tonight! Last week I went up to 50 pound barbell curls and got 6 reps, Well 1 week later, and last night I got 10 reps on the first two set and 9 reps on the third, this is amazing!!!! Then I go right to supersettting preacher curls w/ hammer curls. I do one set of preachers and immediatley go to hammer curls starting at 25 pounds, then 20 pounds, then 10 pounds, talk about a arm burner! But the great thing was the weights were feeling lighter last night, the 20's felt like 10's and I was able to do more reps. I had the biggest most freaky pumps last night! My arms were so swollen and pumped that the last set of hammer curls were hard to finish becuase the pumps were so big, my biceps grew an inch and were very round and perky, the forearms were also pumped and hard as rocks. People working out around me actually noticed this and two people asked me what are you doing to make that happen? I was even laughing cause it was so cool, course I shared the ALRI secret . There are people at the gym who know I am testing ALRI and are following my progress. I had a very buff girl ask me during my rest of supersets if I was getting ready to compete, LOL I said no Im just trying to get stronger and build muscle but who knows someday I might compete just to do it once. I told her I was a little old to be doing that and she said you look better than most 20 year olds, Ok that made my night!!!!!!!!!!! I stayed at 25 pound curl bar for skull crushers for one reason, that exercise is the one that initally broke my bicep tendons and caused my shoulder to slowly fall apart. The position your arms are in when going down to forehead totally stretch your tendons to the limit so im a bit nervous and cautious about it. When the tendons were repaired I was told they had shrunk over the two years they were floating around inside and that they were shorter now and in time they would stretch again but to be careful, I could easily do more weight but for safety reasons Im going slow at this. Them kickbacks totally rock, I got a huge pump in them too last night!!!! But I wont be happy till I get the horse shoe ![]() SUPPLEMENTS Oh were do I start, the Hyperdrive is awesome, I get lots of clean energy for a long period off of one capsule, and there are not jitters at all, no crashing, no lows, no highs, just consistant clean great energy. I am loving the Primed big time!!!!!! Hey if I can get pumps like this there is no reason to use any other product, I thought I knew what a good pump was until I tried Primed!!!!!! When ALRI says its a NO, they dont mess around! I really like taking the creatine capsules N-gorge, its so easy and conveinient! The Special Tactics is kicking butt, I will definitely want to use this when I am cutting along with Hyperdrive cause they will keep your appettie at a controllable state, right now I have to make myself eat all these cals on training days and its so hard because I am not hungry, but I manage to get it down as I know I need it for the bulk and for the training for the energy The Regeneration tastes good and really helps with DOMS, I have not experienced any bad DOMS while using this product and STAIRS dont suck anymore, LOL On a side note, when taking Primed you can still get a pump an hour later after workouts if you do something physical like even vacuuming, Im serious, any repetitive motion with arms its comes right back! SPECIAL NOTES I have learned that I am either sensitive to or allergic to Sucralose, I figured this out on the week of bulking as I eat alot of Muscle Pancakes, always after eating them I get this spacy-buzzed feeling. I now know this and will use less of it. Before I was having pancakes only once a week and this didnt happen, and it doesnt happen on my off training days, so I will be using something else on pancakes or having them plain, cause that feeling is whacked! I read up on it on the net and there are many people who claim it causes lots of side effects to them, for me its just one, I just cannot have as much as I have been, Moderation is the key to this one. ![]() ![]() |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 47 | WEEK 2 DAY 11 JUNE 16 2006 MOOD Super mood today, was ready to work those legs!!!!! I spent most of the day with my Son taking care of some business. It was a beautiful day. I woke up early eager to start my day. TRAINING Oh what can I say, what a grueling workout!!!!!! I went in thinking im breaking some PR’s and I did. I had gone up in weight last week and this week I did lots more reps, so I am getting stronger with this bulking diet and my ALRI supplements. It seemed like a long workout but I made it through thanks to Hyperdrive & Primed. My legs felt a lot stronger today. I did have a pump in my legs, they felt heavy too. I was glad when the workout was over though!! I went light on the SLDL because I'm still new at those and last week I had major hammie cramps, so this week I stretched a lot more and went at it again. SUPPLEMENTS I am really impressed so far with this ALRI stack, if you use it as intended at the proper times it will give you great workouts and energy. The special tactics must really be kicking the fat because I have gained less weight than planned for this period. It seems as if the N-Gorge creatine is really being pulled into my muscles better than other products I have used, the pumps I get every workout are to drool over ![]() SPECIAL NOTES I am looking forward to continued progress and muscle growth. With my bulking plan from Michael Elias and ALRI supplements there is no where to go but UP ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 47 | END OF WEEK 2 DAY 13 JUNE 18 2006 SUNDAY MOOD Ah I felt great when I got up, had good sleep and solid sleep!!!! We had crappy weather and didnt do anything outside today. TRAINING I was hyped up to go workout today, and now I know why, all that eating today paid off at the gym. I had so much power today I amazed myself, I will be moving up in weight next week!!!!!!!! I had a totally swollen back from the pumps, It felt crazy as heck! Sweated alot during workout today, I had like an inferno going on inside of me. Hyperdrive came through with lots of energy as usual. That primed, should be called like EXPLOSIVE cause of how big the pumps are!!!!! I feel like the hulk, as if my clothes may rip to shreads cause im busting outta them with pumps ![]() SPECIAL NOTES Here are my lifting charts to show progress from week to week, and weight gain chart.

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 47 | WEEK 3 DAY 14 JUNE 19 2006 MONDAY MOOD Super mood as usual, felt great. Started my day with my favorite pancakes- Muscle building flap jacks ![]() TRAINING Tonight will always be a memorable night for me at the gym. I have worked so hard to get to the 30 pound dumbbells on Military press, before I could not get the left side up without help to get started. Last week Viper helped me just to get them up and I was able to do 3 sets of 6 reps on my own. Well Tonight I said to myself, your a big girl, you MUST do this on your own!!! All this bulking is really making me stronger as I got them up all by myself and to top that off I did 3 sets of 10 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted so bad to scream and yell and do cart wheels around the gym ! I saw viper from across the gym and he smiled at me cause He knew what I just did, and how hard I have worked for that! Tonight was definitely a milestone for me. The rest of the workout went very well up in reps on everything!!!!!!! I tell ya bulking has its benefits!!!!!!!! SUPPLEMENTS Wanna talk about great supplements, Tonight after the military presses, my shoulders grew alot from the pump, so much so that I had definition all over the place, im loving this supp stack!!!!!!! The energy, the power, the pumps, the recovery! I cannot say enough, somebody pinch me cause this is almost to good to be true. Everything is going so great for me. SPECIAL NOTES I was told to skip chest tonight from EME because of last weeks pain in my pec tie in area, we are giving it some extra time to heal in case there was a small injury. Then I will start back up next week and be very careful, prolly lower the weights and go back to a machine instead of bench for a bit. ![]() ![]() |
