Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Son Goku]

Solid 8.5/10
could only get an hour workout in

didn’t have that overly hyped feeling
Solid pump
hit an incline press PR UNEXPECTEDLY
Don’t have that super fatigued post workout feeling
Super focused on workout

wish I coulda worked out more

It’s also 40 servings instead of 30 like a lot of the other stuff I’ve tried



not a fan of that itchy feeling
Wiping down the machine and it feel like needles in my forearm

You took 1 scoop or 2? Cause at two scoops it's only 20 servings, and 1 scoop has the same amount of caffeine as some Original C4.

As long as you like it though.

I forgot two scoops is one scoop technically






Did I just placebo my way to a new PR

And it has a prop blend in its pump matrix.


What a shameful #Powda this is.

I declare this #Powda UNAPPROVED pending a formal review. (Send me some for field testing and analysis. )

Right?

20 minutes ain't even enough time pyramid up to something PR-able on one barbell lift, let alone two.


Imma let you cook @Gully Bull. You seem hell-bent on staying injured.

Got the criss cross jump down looking like Mayweather now

What is y’all pryamid looking like

it ain’t 6 reps at 50 percent -

1 rep 60percent

1 rep at 70 percent

1 rep at 85 percent

PR attempt


On a side note today was day two of Gorilla Mode and it passed with flying colors

What you posted is a very poor example, especially for stronker folks. Jumping from a single at 85% to a new 1RM could be like a hundred pounds or more. It's also probable that neither your muscles nor your joints are properly warmed up after that, especially if you didn't wear support gear into the gym (most people don't). We mighta just low-key discovered why your body be going on strike so often on you.


No, you should start with the bar (or a plate for deads) and jump up roughly 10% until you hit 75-85%, then jump up by about 5% of your current PR, especially if you don't max out very often. Nobody said you had to use singles to jump up either.


If your PR was 405 on squats, your pyramid might look like this:

• Bar x 5-10 reps
• 85 x 8
• 126 x 6
• 166 x 5
• 207 x 4
• 247 x 4
• 288 x 3
• 328x 2
• 369x 1
• 410 x1 (new PR)

I usually jump up by the half plate, so I'd do something like:

• Bar x 5 reps
• Bar x 5 reps
  
• 95 x 5
• 135 x 5
• 185 x 3
• 225 x 3
• 275 x 2
• 315 x 1
• 365x 1
• 410 x1 (new PR)

I'm glad you like it. I didn't see anything on the label that suggests it's any better than #Powdas we've already discussed ITT.

this actually might be why my body always run down. I’ll incorporate that next time I go for a PR


On the second part about the preworkout, I don’t think there’s really anything that someone could add to #POWDA that we haven’t encountered. You prefer a higher dose of beta alaline while I’d rather be upping the caffeine.

I’m just happy this keeping me alert all workout considering my specific caffeine tolerance and muscle fatigue



The NOOTROPICS department I don’t really have much experience with but I might as well take adderall in a flavored gummy at this point

Beta Alanine has nothing to do with a #Powda's caffeine content; BA let's you gym for longer so a #Powda without it is doing you a disservice, especially since you're not paying some BA-less discounted price for that scoop.

FWIW Butchmade® only contains 3 active ingredients off GP and beta alanine is one of them.
