Wow, forgot Plazma was that expensive. I make my own blend that, granted, lack a few things therein but comes in at a lesser total.
Edit: it seems weird to delete this but anyone reading this should read the following posts by Chris
Not sure how your math worked out, but there are 20 servings in a bag, recommended use is 2 servings for most workouts and it’s typically suggested that 1 serving is fine for easier/shorter/lighter/lower intensity sessions. One bag will last at least 10 workouts, very likely longer.
For the ingredients and doses it includes, it’s absolutely less expensive than trying to put together a homemade version. Surge Workout Fuel is the next-best bet in the Biotest line, as it has almost the same formula in different doses and is less expensive: $50 for 22 servings, 1-2 servings per workout.
(Sorry for the log interruption, Mark.)

It’s a 1300g bag. Instructions state: “Pour 195 g of the Plazma™ formula into the cold water, secure the cap on the bottle, and shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, or until thoroughly mixed.”
1300/195 = 6.66667
I’m going from this link which is the first result I get from Googling “Biotest Plazma” but it could be outdated/incorrect.
If it is actually 20 servings that’s much more reasonable. Alas the international shipping doesn’t make it viable for me either way.
Weird. I don’t know why it’s recommending three scoops there. Under the Supplement Facts tab, which is the same as what’s on the label, the recommended use is stated more accurately.
Anyhow, just trying to clarify.

All good.
In my book, if your budget can cover it Plazma is well worth the money. I did a scoop a session when I used it.
Woke at 253.8 lbs, looking somewhat similar to yesterday.
Todays training
Two rounds 25 facepulls and pull aparts, 10x17 lbs kb bottoms up press
Bench press
2x253 lbs - misload, should be 248 lbs
3x2x248 lbs
9x248 lbs
Ok, so that went well. It hurt, which I expected, but not as badly as last week. I’m getting the hang of that bench too. Only clipped the racks once.
DB incline press replacing incline press
2x8x55 lbs
Did these on the leg press in the absence of an incline bench. Once the DBs are in position it’s a good incline bench substitute.
Incline (or decline, whatever feet up means) pushups replacing dips
3x10
Inverted row
2x10
1x12 (maxish)
DB lateral raise
3x10x20 lbs - tried 25 lbs and felt like my left delt was going to rip. The 20 lbs hurt my bicep and delt but not prohibitively
An hour and 15 minutes

Woke at 257 lbs, but looking pretty similar to the last week or so. It’s salt (Thai for lunch yesterday) combined with a later than usual dinner.
What sort of weight are you looking to get down to, Mark?
Around 240ish. That’s a safe point at which there should be no performance drop. Chances are I’ll push a little past that if I can, because I really am pretty fat and I want to fill out the 275 class honestly.

Your progress downwards seems to have been pretty steady, so good work on that.

Thanks. I’ve done this before so I know how it goes. Having a bit more muscle helps I think.

Your a beast Mark, whether it’s gaining weight, losing weight, lifting heavy ass weights to get stronger or tiny little weights to grow muscles.
Yeah you’re really dedicated. One to look up to.

This would explain why leftshoulder.exe was not responding when I got up this morning.
I had to hand crank the fucking thing to get dressed, no exaggeration. In the end I did some bottoms up presses because they seem to be the only thing that get it stretched enough to work right now.
The really funny thing is that once I get through them - and that’s painful enough to leave me breathless because my brain keeps telling me I’m tearing my shoulder - everything feels a ton better and I can move fine.
