Pumping Iron with Adriftpanda,Chainsaw13 and Icehog3 II

[swingerofbirches]

So I'm the noob missed out on old school pre-workouts lol

[icehog3]

I've got some Jack3d left too, and I am gonna see if I can turn up some Hyde. :0

Myself and some friends were in Iraq when the original Jack3d came out. I remember that we wouldn't even mix it, we'd just dump it down our throats and wash it down. Good times.

[swingerofbirches]

So what's the big diff between the old stuff and the new?

[Adriftpanda]

1,3 dma was banned a couple years ago. Dat der your meth

[area51]

That's not to say that new PWO's are trash. It's just a different sensation.

The wife and I managed a 4.2mi walk tonight. Pace was decent but not crazy ... although the humidity was off the charts *eek*

Also ... please gimme thoughts on knee sleeves. I'm thinking of picking up a pair from Rogue (I know, gasp) but I think they'd do me some good, especially with the frequency of my squatting. What say you all?

I use SBD knee sleeves, they are pricey but well worth it. They are primary use for power lifters.

I use Nike Romaleos and knee sleeves when I squat. What kind of shoes you are squatting in?

No hot tubbing, maybe when I was in college and with girls.

Unplanned day. Wasn't expecting to go...

Skwwats, narrow stance 5x6 @265
Bench, wide grip w/pause 5x3-5 @225
Deadlift 7x5 @365
Pull-ups 6x10 all different variations

Stepped on the scale this morning, 180 with a pop tart in hand so that makes me 179.8

[icehog3]

Sound a product called "Loaded" on eBay. Claims it has 1,3 dma, and is the original Jack3d formula. I ordered, figured $19 was worth it to find out myself. I'll report back after it arrives.

I was absolutely gassed today. Didn't help that my phone battery was dead so I had to go without music. Depending on how I feel tomorrow morning, it may be a pretty light day all around so I can recover a little bit for Monday. We shall see. :/

Like Ken said, great deads Huy!

I saw your post about the knee sleeves and it's what made me wonder if anyone else o here had any experience with sleeves.

[Adriftpanda]

Like I said, it will save you knees in the long run.

[icehog3]

I know I just feel gassed without my tunes, Charlie.

Never used sleeves, but not opposed to trying. Do they make a shoulder sleeve?

GM Huy & Ken!

[area51]

I've never used sleeves either. I'm not opposed to them just don't know enough about them to warrant wearing them.

How long do you really plan on squatting everyday for? I've been consistently squatting 2x per week for at least 2 years. Only recently have my knees been sore. When that happened I started doing tissue work on them which has alleviated the soreness. Otherwise no sleeves and no problems. Maybe you should be looking at other issues rather than a quick fix

[swingerofbirches]

Christos - the plan is to SED for 30 days and then see how I feel. I'd imagine that I'll take a break from it and go back to 2-3x/wk like I was doing before. This SED routine is more of a mental exercise than physical one. Yeah I'm adding weight to my PRs but the biggest aspect is the commitment to being in the gym every day, no exceptions (even if it's just for 15min to do some light squatting) for at least 30 days. Other factors had made me consider sleeves prior to even starting this routine ... old sports injury (right knee), ever increasing age (34) and the fact that I'm a big fella so not only do I have the weight of the bar but also a less dexterous body than someone my age who didn't let themselves go. Not sure what you mean by "quick fix"?

Today was a horrible lift day. I was dehydrated and didn't realize it until I got into the gym.

[icehog3]

Legs and arms today, lots of gas. Strong on everything. Love days like that.
