not that i have anything to add to what you have asked or said, but, do you mean 16 plates total before, like 8 on each side? if so, how many reps? I had 8 45’s on each side of my leg press machine today plus an extra 5 on there, and did it for 4 reps. This was after 6 sets of front squats and 2 previous supersets of leg press and leg extension. My legs are twigs… and my upper body, well, I do 60 lb db’s for 4 reps. I don’t get it.

There is great variance in leg press machines. 16 plates on some would be very difficult and relatively easy on others. As for 60 lb dbs, that’s not much weight. As you get stronger, you’ll get bigger. Keep at it, and keep eating.

So I’m in my forth week of this little stack and I’m really impressed, I think.
I started out doing the 80lb DB’s for incline bench - week later 90’s today…100’s for 8.
Same thing with the leg press - Up to 18plates now which was originally about 14-16
It’s either the new program I’m on or the stack or a mixture of both. That is some pretty impressive strength increase in my mind though.
Thanks Biotest :)[/quote]
Good stuff. As long as you are eating right with these supplements the gains will come. They are both increasing protein synthesis in turn increasing your recovery capabilities hence the strength increase. How are the muscle gains?
Yes 8 on each side mate. I’m doing the plate loaded squat press(i think thats the full name) if that makes a differance. Also I did the 18 for 8 reps, going to deload a bit this week and next week go for 10reps with 18.
The lbm gains I won’t know really until the end of the 12week cycle. I originally had myself pinched the day I started and will do so again the day I stop.
Another thing I’ve noticed is alot more vacsularity from this stack.
The only thing I really did to my diet was start to log it and make sure i constantly got in around 3600 -4000 calories with the proper amount of protein fat carbs for my bodyweight. This was done long before i started the stack though just because i wanted to see supplement results only not just diet.
As far as my workout -
Mon-chest
Tues-back
Wed- legs
Thurs- shoulders/traps
Fri- arms
Sat - hammies
