[Pickle]

[PrinceVegeta]

Nice sessions man! scorpions FTW!

Pickle: Updates are a-coming.... And no the C&J form was fine. Only thing I'm concerned with is my knees and hammys. I am noticing something but I'm not sure what it is and it only appears post sets (mainly squats but some cleans).

El Freako: There is an easy way to fix that Ben! They are good fun, give them a try.

Miami:

PV: At least it wasn't a snake bite. We had a small snake in the house recently too.

I took my SuperPump again this evening. I was reminded of just how awfull this shit is to drink. I think I may just eat the powder rather than drink it. The workout itself was plagued with dizzy spells. Not sure what to attribute it to, but it is annoying and potentially dangerous.

Those weighted DH Chins are awesome Timbo, you left me behind long ago with them.

 

[Natzo]

Good work there Tim! Heavy!

SuperPump again?

men that's the sort of thing that only affects your wallet.

 

[Pickle]

good session tim snatches the highlight even above your godlike chins, the ammount of times you nearly fainted is alarming tho... are u healthy? or does "I took my SuperPump again this evening" have something to do with it lololol

you've changed man you used to be all about not taking the placebos

 

[tim290280]

El freako: I'm actually a bit disappointed with the chins as they are feeling tougher than they were a month or so ago. Probably because they are being supersetted with snatches at the moment.

Natzo: In fairness the SuperPump does work but it hasn't been much good. At least I have gotten some discussion going about it.

Pickle: I don't know It is hard to say if I am or not. I'm mainly noticing it on stuff above the head. The SuperPump could be related to it, blood pooling or messed up blood pressure could be an issue.

And as for changing to the placebo supplements: I've got a log in the supps section that explains my reasoning. I decided to have a look in terms of a pep prior to workouts so that I didn't feel flat. SuperPump has worked in that regard. But I think that aside from that it has a terrible taste, the "pumps" are intermittent, the dose is double what you expect and thus costly, and of course I could get just as good an effect from beta-alanine and some caffeine.

Guess I just wanted to hang out with the cool kids for awhile and talk supps

You're old Tim, you can't even pretend to be cool anymore.

 

[tim290280]

^^ What are you talking about. I'm down with the wiggy.

You're a Wigga?

Edit: Is this you Tim?

 

[Hypocrisy86]

Congrats on the volume there, and doing db's at end, wow, awesome..

 

[tim290280]

^^ Thanks Hypo.

Didn't do C&J's last night. I'm biasing toward my "good" left leg at the moment and that is what was causing the knee twinge. I'll give it a rest for a week and then start again. I also did box squats (20-21") for the first time since I tore my hammys at Xmas. I've concluded I need more core work for the first time ever.

good session tim. what are u doing hammy curls with previous torn hamstrings for? even light isnt that asking for trouble?

 

[Adam23]

nice front squat Tim !!!

keep it up man

 

[miamiracing]

great session tim. front squats look really good

 

[tim290280]

Pickle: well I could never do anything to fix my weaknesses.......... I actually want to do GHR's but lack the equipment. I'm going to make something soon to do the natural GHR's.

Adam and Miami: It felt different to do Front Squats. I'm lacking a little thoraic mobility and keeping the elbows high is hard. Or I could be lame and use the cross over grip.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Nice session man, those box squats look heavy!

 

[Lionheart]

Nice squatting Agnus.Good to hear that your hammies are better!
