For sure! I must have 3 diff ones atm now... Gonna grab the Neon first... This wk I'll be getting it so I'll post it...

I will be interested to see how you like it. It gives me great energy and fantastic pumps.

Just switched to neon and loving it....take 1.5 scoops right now. Wife is taking it too...just a little under one scoop for her.

Good to hear we got another Neon Guy around. I do 2 scops. Have you tried anything else? C4 doesnt count thats garbage in my book

Yeah C4 sucks... I got like a full tub just sittin here...

I used the old Jacked 3D(that was good til they changed it)... Right now I'm taking ON GS(1-2 scoops depending) but usually one will do... So I'm Syked to try the Neon(as my tolerance is down since cutting out caffeine and sugars) ore w/o is the only caffeine I use...

Yeah been using neon for a week now.

Ag, what's your blood pressure like? I started getting nosebleeds with elevated bp (result of blood counts getting high, remedied by donating blood. . Trt)

Just a thought?

Generally around 128/72- ish, on a day that I'm p!ssed or in a rush it may hit 136/84-ish. I have a blood disorder that makes my blood run thick and anticoagulants don't have much/if any effect on me (it's called Factor V Leiden), so I try to stay on top of my hematocrit. Earlier in the year when I was getting the nosebleeds, it was because of the dry air.
I believe a sinus infection is the culprit this time. I have all of the usual symptoms and pollen season is starting up here in SC. Probably go see the Dr. if it doesn't improve soon. Thanks for the input though, Hawk. Much appreciated.

[NACH3]

That's some damn good BP, AG!

Since changing my diet this time around(way more strict,clean, and eating between 6-8 meals a day... Snd have noticed my BP has gone down... Could this have a profound affect like so(or is it just the liq C I'm taking as well lol)

[almostgone]

A cleaner diet defo could help with lower BP, depending on your prior diet. Processed meats/foods generally have a buttload of sodium. Supplementation with Cialis is effective for pulmonary hypertension (which is different from systemic hypertension).
Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment Tadalafil (Adcirca) - Pulmonary Hypertension Association
Some people find L-arginine to be useful?

[almostgone]

Taking more antibiotics and crashing for awhile. Hopefully I'll be up to lifting soon.

Busted my ass playing ball today. Turf field, the turf behind home plate was wet and I didn't know it. Ran home, tried to stop. . Feet went straight out from under me. Fortunately I landed on a cheek, not on my tail bone.

Unfortunately, my hip is killing me today. I can barely walk. I don't forsee any leg workouts for the next week or so :-/

[GirlyGymRat]

squeezed in a few sessions
Friday yoga and hour of cycle.

Saturday touched on muscles all over doing push /pull routine. Sore next day.

Sunday was leg day! Mixed it up a bit and feeling it today!

Today is cardio.
Happiness is gyming!!!

[clarky.]

Just back from the gym the place was empty so i did chest. RC ex and stretching and light cable fly for a warm up a few sets.

Incline db press 1 working rp DD

Slight incline db press 1working 1drop +rp

Incline smith 1working 1 drop + rp

Pec dec 1 working DD

So the day when doing RC ex i never used any weight i just went through the movements no pain. When i do use very light weight 2.5-5kg i sometimes get pain.
So on all the pressing movements no pain at all so i never did any db fly's as i usually get pain from these. But on the pec dec i got the popping from the right shoulder but no pain av got the physio next wk so i'll see what they have to say probs not much but it was a great session had a right good burn going on.

[NACH3]

What's up boys and girls? Back from my skication in Jasper at Marmot Basin, damn what a trip it was. Just couldn't muster up the energy to hit the gym today, got home late and didn't sleep too well. I pounded in some nice separation into my quads with 5 days of hardcore skiing, they were burning non stop the whole time I was on the skies. I hadn't skied in over 20 years and by the third day we were blasting down black diamond runs like pros. Some of those hills did scare the crap out of me, so steep, but we managed. The views atop the mountain were amazing, especially the first two days when the sun was shining with clear blue skies, you could see out for miles into the Rockies. Need to get back on track, my diet wasn't the greatest and we drank quite a bit, so I will need to step it up a bit to get ready for summer.

[Sfla80]

Damn guys, hope dci and ag feel better!!!

Back tonight

Wide grip pull downs 3 warms, 1 feel, 2 working, DD with negs

Low pully hammer strength 2 working 2 drops

high pully hammer same as above

Reverse grip pull downs same as above

Hypers to finish.

Dam spring break...gym was insane today....Couldn't get much going. Still a good session.

Saw a guy, pretty damn big too, doing "hip thrusters" in the corner......but doing 425#!!! Odd seeing this done anyways but with that much weight was kinda crazy.

[kelkel]

cardio?

Well, if you count walking down the steps then back up later....
