OK, EDT Workout:
EDT Block #1: (108reps, 15mins)
Kneeling Jammer Press(Each arm): 35x6, 35x6, 35x8, 35x8
1 Arm DB Rows(Each arm): 60x6, 60x6, 60x7, 60x7
EDT Block #2: (46 reps, 10mins)
Squats w/Squat Belt: 90x6, 90x7, 90x10
Romanian DL: 135x6, 135x7, 135x10
I'd skipped the EDT workouts in the past due to travel. I'm getting used to some of these movements, and others I've never done in EDT before.
I'll increase the weight substantially next time, then progress normally.
Overall, I feel great. MPS is killer. I'm still working 60-70hr weeks and getting 6 hrs sleep/night, but I'm getting stronger and feel little for DOMS.
Side note: My anxiety comes back when I stop working out and goes away when I hit the iron again.

I'm a bit behind. I'll break it up between 2 posts.
Lactic Acid Training day, all numbers are reps only as these are performed with bodyweight.
These are done as laid out in Convict Conditioning:
Half Handstand Pushup (Step 4): 10, 7, 5
Full Pullups/Chins (Step 5):10, 9, 6
Uneven Pushups (Step 7): 10, 9, 7
One Legged Squats (With a Belt, as per Rob): 10, 10, 12
Leg Raises (Step 10): 10, 8, 10

EDT Workout today!
EDT Block 1: 96 reps in 15 mins, 5670lbs/15min = 378lbs/min
Kneeling Barbell Jammer Press (Each Arm): 45x6, 45x5, 45x5, 45x5
Dumbell Rows (Each Arm): 70x6, 70x6, 70x7, 70x8
EDT Block 2: 32 reps in 10 mins, 5545lbs/10min = 555lbs/min
Squats with belt and Loading Pin: 160x5, 160x5, 160x5
Romainian Deadlift: 185x6, 185x6, 185x5
I need to go buy more 45lb plates... I only own 4 plates and I use them all when doing the Squat/DL EDT.
Overall feeling good. Went and saw the chyro today. We found why I'm pushing/pulling unevenly. I'm even breathing easier now.
Hope your grandpa is doing well Rob. Hope you're doing well too!

Hahaha... Good catch. I meant GLP #1, workout #3RobRegish wrote:
Congrats on the new PR man! What's GLP III though?
Hey, Rob, in the past I've heard of you talking about loading the second bottle of MPS differently to make it last longer. I can't find the info now. What was the advice, if you don't mind?
Sure thing man!
After using the first bottle at full blast every day, (5/5/5 on training days, 3 caps, 3x's/day just prior to your 3 biggest meals on off days), your second bottle can be used as follows:
Take MPS as directed (5 before, 5 halfway through and 5 immediately after) on training days ONLY.
Will give you all of the recovery benefits MPS is famous for, and stretch a bottle quite a bit further! The only thing you'll miss out on are some of the cosmetic effects, when taken every day: Sense of well being, much great vascularity etc.
Used every day, MPS delivers unbeatable recovery, muscle fullness, nutrient re-partitioning, vascularity etc.. What matters most is recovery from exercise though, given muscle growth is always a 3 step process:
1.) Stimulate (overload)
2.) Recover
3.) Grow
Although MPS juices all 3, Recovery is most noticeable.
Hope that helps!

Thanks Rob!
I'll try that and let you know.
Yesterday was Lactic Acid Training Day:
Half Handstand Pushup (Step 4): 12, 7, 5
Full Pullups/Chins (Step 5):10, 8, 6
Uneven Pushups (Step 7): 12, 10, 10
One Legged Squats (With a Belt, as per Rob): 12, 10, 10
Leg Raises (Step 10): 8, 9, 8
Overall, I was feeling week and tired. But I was surprised that I was able to beat some of my numbers from last week. There were a couple movements that were down, but only by a rep or 2. This could be from lack of sleep, my EDT workout was harder this week than last, or maybe because my diet wasn't 100% this week.
Either way, I'm getting stronger, wife says I'm harder, I'm looking better in the mirror everyday. Overall, I'm excited!
Chyro made some more adjustments today and I'm feeling so much better. Headaches are gone and I can breathe deep again without pain.

Good man, strong work!
Do me and yourself a favor and take 3 days off, to recover/reload. The only downside of MPS is this: You feel like you can train every day! And in fact, you'll still note a bit of progress. But that's NOTHING compared to a few rest days, laced with liberal amounts of MPS. Sleep, active recovery (HIIT/LISS cardio, GPP like dragging a sled, chopping wood etc) and staying away until you're ITCHING to get back in there - will do you wonders.
Hope that helps brother!

Oh man Rob, you read the signs perfectly. I needed the extra rest! Here's what happened:RobRegish wrote:Good man, strong work!

I ended up eating something on Sunday that didn't agree with my stomach. Without giving the gruesome details, I spent the entire night in agony. Scale of 1 to 10, this pain was a solid 9. Monday wasn't much better. 3 days off turned into 4, and then....
To say I was ITCHING to get back is an understatement. I was an animal in the gym this morning! Nailed every rep with aggression and precision like never before. My last sets I could have easily doubled the reps, but... sticking to the GLP1 template.
So, here's how the workout played out today:
GLP1, Workout #4:
Bent Arm EZ Curl Pullover: 50x10, 75x8, 80x6, 85x4, 90x2, 100x2 New PR!
Russian Step-Ups: 70x10, 100x8, 105x6, 115x4, 125x2, 135x2 New PR!
I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes! I'm already planning my next run.
BTW I think incorporating Convict Conditioning into The Meteoric, and these low risk movements you've suggested, is pure Gold Rob! No sign of joint pain at all, elbow is like nothing ever happened and my back feels better than it has in 10 years. Last run I had to abort because of these issues.

Magnificent man!
Yes, sometimes that extra recovery time pays off. Sure did in your case
