Been trying to use the free weights alot more with the addition of the machines to isolate certain muscles (cybex at my gym) and they really do seem to give me much more of a "pump".
I also notice though that my core is also getting a workout as it needs to support the weight.
Also after about 2-3 weeks the girlfriend has started to notice
the change and I feel so much better about everything which she noticed too.
Of course the diet has changed ALOT too. 6 meals/day 35g ptn, 300 cal plus a little creatine. I did before and I am doing it again.
+2 for exercise
