Quester Comp log

[KJ419]

I hear you I cant take creatine very well either its so weird...

I added it a couple months ago and went with the powder hcl creatine and it is soooo gross! The only thing it mixes well with is my aminos but I finally ran out of my second container and have it in pill form so my aminos are going to finally start tasting awesome again hahaha it totally reminds me of citric acid. Salty and sour AF

Lets see some progress pictures quester! Keep going at it brother!

I ordered a new camera tripod from Amazon; it should be here tomorrow. I'll post Friday.

I was really hungry last night and had 1 cup of beans and 1/2 ear of corn with the casein at 11:30.

That's like me every night. I do good during the day and gorge at night when I get bored before bed lol

[Quester]

After seeing everyone's progress pics, I'm hoping that a good tan is worth a large number of points. Y'all are doing great!

[Quester]

Yeah MS,
That has always been an Achilles heal. But I've been good during the comp; last night I was real hungry and sore. I thought I might need it.

0900: ERG (Fasted) 26:00/5000m
0940: 3 eggs-up, 1 cup beans, ¼ cup (dry) grits
1330: casein powder (32g protein)
1415-1530: Leg Day
Front Squat w-up + 6 sets; 90 sec rests
RDL w-up +5 sets; 90 sec rests
Leg Ext 3 sets; 60 sec rests
Seemed like lag press would have followed front squat better.
Neck Machine; 60 sec rests
Back w-up + 4 sets
Side 4 sets
15:45: ½ serv. of casein powder, 1 Banana, 2 carrots, 3 prunes

Thu 18 May 2017
No Morning Fasted-Cardio: I’m hungry and tired.
0800: 4 egg whites +2 whole eggs = scrambled, ½ cup oatmeal, ½ cup beans
0845: Walk dog ¾ mi
1200: Casein
1253-1403 Push Day
DB. Incl. Press: 90 sec rests, w-up + 6 sets
DB O-head Press: 90 sec rests, 5 sets
Isolated Decl. Press: 90 sec rests, 3 sets, my right shoulder (labrum) started a sharp pain. I want to do more chest work but anything that keeps my arms at 90 deg. to my body builds up to pain. Fly’s don’t cause as much trouble, especially with good form-keeping scapula retracted and down. I’m considering one chest press variation and multiple fly variations per session.
Rear Delt (Face Pull) 5 sets
Seated Cable Fly (low): 4 sets
1440: 1 banana, 1 carrot, ¼ head cabbage, ½ ear corn, ½ cup beans, ½ lb. grilled fish. I’m stuffed…
1615: Swam in ocean for ½ hour (not dedicated exercise, just body surfing and fighting the current).
1830: 1 lb muscles (shelled), broccoli, Vegetable beef soup
2000: Walk dog ¾ mi
2100: 1/3 cup sweet potato
2230: casein
2245: bed
I’m exhausted all through the day now. I’m going to try to sleep 9 hours from now on. I feel really good, however. I haven’t been tired like this since bootcamp. It’s the type of tired that comes after a day of accomplishment. I’m using my time so well that I have no sense of anxiety about doing things right or worry about the future. In a way, the contest doesn’t even matter other than honoring the commitment. The contest has given me purpose and that purpose is reinforcing itself.

How do you find the ghrp? Much of a difference? It seems many guys on here are skeptical of gh secretagogs

[Quester]

I'm feeling increased protection from inflammation and increased recovery. Also, have to believe that some of my gains are due to it because I'm only on a TRT does of Test (160mg/week).
GHRP/GHRH was used before GH. Much of what we know about GH is from GHRH/GHRP. There are plenty of articles in Pharmacology, Endocrinology and Microbiology supporting their use.
The lab equipment and skills necessary to produce GHRH/GHRP is cost prohibitive. Sources are real GHRP/GHRH are fewer. Stories of GHRP/GHRH failure are therefore, understandably as abundant as there are providers of GHRH/iGHRP.
I get mine from a legit pharmacy via a script from my TRT doc.

Ahh very interesting thankyou. I ask because i see many rec chem sites selling it on the cheap, so i guess i doubt its legitimacy and how much it actually works for you. But since you get it scripted problem solved lol.

Thanks man

Do you find you get best results by doing more sets? Your set scheme is interesting.

How many reps do you aim to get during the set usually?

Hope youre doing good man

Hey Zeus,
Cape told me to do more sets, so i do more sets...
Normally, I use a weight that allows between 8-12 reps. If I hit 8 or twelve I adjust the weight.
I've been following you and your doing great buddy, keep it up!

[Quester]

Zeus,
When Cape told me to do more sets I was only doing 3 and taking two minutes between each set. Now I'm doing 5-6 and taking 1 minute between sets. I'm considering a set number between 4-5 with 1 minute (or less) rests and perhaps more exercises per muscle group.

Seems like I've spent much of my life figuring things out. This did't lead to me knowing a whole lot but it did create a filter that helps me figure out who does know and who doesn't.
There's a quote from a smart guy (Abraham Lincoln(?)) which says that being knowledgeable is more about knowing where and how to find knowledge.
The thing is, most people are knowledgeable about something.

This morning I was examining a bruise on the back of my upper arm and I realized that it was from the light: a shady area below my triceps!!!

See ive grew up in a generation where information is everywhere. A quick google search away for all of my problems.

People my age dont want to figure things out anymore... it should be put on to a platter for us with no thought required...

Great thing about here is that almost all you guys, like you said, spent years figuring their own stuff out.
