So that marks a +3.7 lbs increase over the last two weeks and as I suspected, the weight gain has started to kick in. While I am not opposed to some weight g...

Wow, the boards here are really starting to fill out - Love seeing the added membership! So another great leg day (what else is new?). I hit everything on GLP and increased my EDT by a couple reps. I did have to cut the ham curls short a couple sets, as I was starting to feel some "twinging&quo...

Upper GLP #1 Today was SOLID! The shoulder felt pretty dang strong (either it's slowly healing, the cissus is helping, or a combo of the two) and I am feeling good about that. Decline BP: 160x10 170x8 195x8 210x8 230x8 250x8 (felt GREAT here - could have probably gotten 2-3 more) EDT #1: Hammer Stre...

And yes, two compounds like that back to back in your EDT block on leg day... that's why I only recommend one :)
