Kickin' ass... can't wait to see this log.

Upper Body 4-30-07

Took my first dose of WTF Pump'd.

It mixes well, it takes a minute or two to dissolve thoroughly and some of the GMS doesn't go into solution, but that will always be the case with GMS. It tastes pretty good. Not great, but it went down smooth with no after taste.

I arrived at the gym feeling focused and ready to rock.

Flat wide-grip bench press: 145 x10, x10, x8, x6

Whoa baby... on my first warm-up set with 115 my chest got so pumped that I felt like I had just finished my last working set. No BS, this was unlike any pump I've felt before and I've used bulk GMS and other 'pump' products in my past. I had to cut my last two working sets short of my 10 rep target because the pump was downright excruciating, but in a good way. My pecs felt like they were going to explode.

Incline db bench press: 55 x8, x7, 8

I used less weight than usual due to the extreme pump. I wanted to really feel the muscle work and get the pump rockin' to the max. Oh man... the last set was killer.

Bent-over barbell rows: 130 x5, x5, x5, x5, 135 x5

Normally, with a 5x5 of rows I wouldn't get much of a pump. With the WTF, my back was feeling wide and tight the whole time. Even my hammies started pumping up and getting a little crampy.

Side lateral raise: 20 x10, x10, x10

Not only did my shoulders get a great pump, but my lat pump continued to get more severe, to the point of nearly cramping... from side laterals!!!

Face pulls: 46.6 x10, x10, x10

Traps pumped up nice on these.

Close-grip bench press: 120 x10, x10, x10

Tris got a real nice, painful pump... and the chest, which was still pumped mind you, got a pump recharge.

Rope pushdown: 83.3 x10, x10, x10

The pump was insane, I wanted to cry after the last couple of reps.

EZ bar curl: 50 x10, x10, x10

I've been working on my curl form lately and today I really focused on keeping a bend in my wrist to take the forearms out of the lift.... I was suprised just how much more emphasis is placed on the bicep doing curl this way. That modification plus the WTF led to the most painful bicep pump I've ever had and this is the lightest weight I've used for my curls in a couple of years.

Db preacher: 15 x10, x10, x10

That's right, the pump was so intense that I couldn't use more than a 15 lb dumbbell for these. I tried a 20 and I could only squeeze out a few excruciating reps.

In summary: Awesome pumps, just insane... painful, in the most skin splitting manner you can imagine. I dig it. Time will tell how these pumps contribute to gains, but there is no doubt that this product is extremely effective at inducing an incredible pump. I felt very alert and focused through the entire workout. Tomorrow I trash the legs... the pain should be exquisite.

**Fitnfirm** · 05-01-2007, 02:07 PM

Ok, WTF is a face pull and why on earth are you doing them ? nd your bench is looking really good, almost as good as mine

Here is a face pull. I'm doing them because they target my traps and medial delts quite well. I do them seated on the cable row machine, as opposed to standing, which better isolates the shoulders and makes them tougher.

My chest is coming along both in terms of strength and size. I have a long way to go, but it is improving vastly each year.... along with the rest of me.

Leg day was painful... update coming soon.

5-01-07 Lower Body

Squats ATG: 155 x5, 165 x5, x5 175 x5, 185 x5

Good Mornings: 115 x5, 120 x5, x5

Hack squat machine: 110 x10, x10, x9

Pullthroughs: 96.6 x10, 100 x10, x10

Ab pull down: 146.6 x10, x10, x10, x10, x10

No time for calves... hope to get to 'em tomorrow.

Thoughts:

I can't say that the pump today was any more intense than what I usually experience. Maybe my upper body is just more sensitive to the effects of the product... I dunno.

Despite the lack of an insane pump, I did feel really alert, focused, and infused with a positive attitude. The energy from WTF is really clean feeling without any jitters or anxiety... this is definitely a 'feel good' supplement.

To follow-up from yesterday's workout, I am experiencing relatively intense DOMS in my chest and tris. The pump was so insane in my chest that I didn't doubt I'd be in pain today. Interestingly, my biceps rarely ever get DOMS anymore, I definitely wouldn't expect any soreness from 15 lb preacher curls... lol, but my WTF workout from yesterday has my biceps hurtin' more today than they have in a very long time.

Tomorrow is just HIIT cardio. Thursday I'll lift for upper again, and then friday the lower gets smacked again.

**Fitnfirm** · 05-01-2007, 11:29 PM

Good work on the legs, just not enough weight............. Keep trying to catch up with me though

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I know my leg strength sux. I definitely will hit 195 next week on my squats. I recently switched from squatting at paralled to going ATG with a pause at the bottom. ATG is a whole different world and I had to drop my squat from 235 to 165 when I made the shift. I wish I had always been squatting ATG, but better late than never. All that matters is that I look like I can squat a lot... the numbers will catch up to my quad sweep eventually.

**madman911** · 05-04-2007, 12:57 AM

5-03-07 Upper Body

Incline db bench press: 75 x5, x5, x5 x5, x5

Hammer strength isolateral bench press: 157 x8, 147 x6, x6

Pullups: 5 sets to failure

Close-grip seated cable row: 140 x8, 120 x8, x10

Standing bb military press: 85 x10, x8, x10

Overhead ext/bicep curl supersets using EZ bar: 50 x10/x10, two more sets didn't count reps on those... too much pain

Single-arm reverse grip pressdown: 40 x10, x8, x6

Single arm cable curl: 30 x10, x8, x7

Thoughts:

Really good workout. I'm lovin' the positive energy and intense focus I'm getting from the WTF. I feel like I'm achieving a really solid mind/muscle connection on each and every rep. The pumps were insane again today. I hit a full 5x5 with 75s on incline bench so I'll be graduating to the 80s next week... woo hoo!! My back was feeling wide as a house after the pull ups and my biceps got very pumped from them, which isn't typical. I did supersets for arms today and it was just masochistic how painful the pumps were.

**madman911** · 05-04-2007, 07:11 PM

5-04-07 Lower Body

ATG Squat: 140 x10, x10, x10 x10

Machine deadlift: 360 x5, 380 x5, 400 x5

Pullthroughs: 100 x10, x10, x10

Hyperextensions: BW+25 x10, x10, x10

Hanging leg raise: x10, x10, x10

Alternating twisting ab pulldown: 120 x10 (to each side), x12 (each side)

Thoughts:

I really felt the pump on this leg workout. After my squats, I was walking like I had a load in my pants because my legs were so pumped up. My lower back really had a painful pump from the deadlifts right on through until the end. I've never felt an intense lower back pump before so this was new for me. The muscles in my lumbar regions were hard as rocks... it was cool.

I've already pretty much decided that WTF is going to become a staple for me. I'm already in love.

**madman911** · 05-07-2007, 04:47 PM

5-07-07 Upper Body

Wide-grip bb bench press: 140 x10, 145 x10, x10 x10

Pec deck: 80 x12, 66.6 x15

Barbell row: 135 x5, x5, x5, x5, 140 x5

Wide-grip pulldowns: 80 x15, 83.3 x15

EZ bar curl: 60 x8, x8, x8

Concentration curl: 20 x10, x10, x10

Thoughts:

I felt strong today... energy, recovery and stamina were all very good. Last week I struggled with 145 on the bench press, due to the pain of the pumps, and this week 145 was suprisingly easy. The only rep that was really taxing was the last one. The pump felt great and was not as painful as last week. My recovery between sets was excellent. I didn't rest more than a minute between any of my sets today.

For the next two weeks, I'm going to be on cutting cals. I'm hoping with the help of WTF that I'll keep making some strength gains on reduced cals.

Pullthroughs: 110 x10, x10, x10

Hack squat machine: 110 x10, x10, x10

Thoughts:

Excellent energy and stamina, but the pump seems to evade me on this particular workout. I need to increase the weight on my GMs... these were too easy today.
