Despite being worn out, how did you find your 1st session of HP Mass?

Btw, at least your Chiefs are in the playoffs haha.[/quote]

I liked it, we’ll see how today compares since I got almost 10 hours of sleep lol. I wasn’t in my zone at first, but got into it once I got to incline, and especially flat. I like not going in focused on getting a certain PR and hitting failure on everything. Today should be better, especially since my order of Surge Workout Fuel came in :wink:

It’s about time we made it to the playoffs! I’ve always been a Chiefs fan, so I think we deserve it after sucking all of these years haha

I bet it’s a nice change of pace.

Yeah Surge should come in handy haha.

Haha true. You guys have a sick rushing attack. I’m utterly disappointed with my Cowboys.

343

Lol, I don’t follow football at all. All I know is that our Rothlisberger is a naughty, naughty boy. :stuck_out_tongue:

In other newz, I noticed an article posted about GVT. Lol, speak of the devil.

Yeah I feel like the Surge helped today, I was pretty ready to deadlift when I got to it. I thought I would have been tired. I’ve also got FINiBARS (Biotest whore :)) but I’m going to save those for the 2nd and 3rd week.

Yeah I think we just had a really bad off day. Better to get it out of our system for the first playoff game :slight_smile:

Haha, nice

Yeah I saw that too, I thought it was pretty ironic haha. Although I did the advance version, and the article is 10 X 10

345

hey man, i like your thread, nice work on the gains, sweet progress. whats ya weight at now?? definately getting stronger every week.

346

HP Mass Week 1 Neural Charge Session 1

Squat
Bench
Bulgarian Split Squat Jumps
Overhead Press

Light weight, 3 reps, did this for around 20 minutes and started feeling great so I called it. Today was also my cheaper version of the pulse fast (just Power Drive and ~90g protein from hydrolyzed whey, and maybe 3 scoops of Biotest’s L-Leucine)

Tomorrow is the first lower body pressing day, and I’m doing my best to make a sled for the eccentric-less training.

Thanks for stopping in man! My gym weight yesterday was right at, or a pound or two over 200 (after drinking my 2 liters of Anaconda and other goodies :slight_smile: ). Definitely getting progressively stronger, which I like!

NOTES: Squats were a LOT better today. I watched this video (this girl is sexy as hell, holy sh*t) and it helped my form a lot. Moved my hands in, ditched the thumbless grip, and focused on keeping my elbows tucked, chest out, and pushing the bar a little with my hands. I have a feeling good things are to come with squat. Also, OH press was much stronger today, despite doing this same volume on Sunday and Monday

348

Wow, those are some good looking squats haha.

Something is looking good in that video, that’s for sure lol

350


I took these the night before HP Mass I think. I saw AquaCruiser put some pictures up, so I figured I might as well, too.

I think this is relaxed, or maybe the abs are flexed

351

Another

BW is maybe 202 after gym

352

The two sets with 250 from today. I think form is getting much better, still gotta keep chest up when coming out of the hole though

353

Looking good man! Looking more dense than me.

If you haven’t, I would check out the squat rx series on youtube. Pretty informative stuff.

354

Btw how long do your HP mass workouts run?

Thanks buddy! I’ll definitely check that out

I timed my session today just for you :wink:

I started from the moment I did my first set of squats, to my very last set of bench, and it was 65 minutes.

Also, I’m about to go try and finish making my prowler/sled substitute. So hopefully I can get my eccentric-less training in in a few minutes

356

Aww you shouldn’t have :slight_smile:

357

P.M. Eccentric-Less Session

“Sled” Pulls

Aww you shouldn’t have :)[/quote]

Lol, no problem. I;m curious to see how long week 3 will take :stuck_out_tongue:

358

Haha yeah. I’ve been giving HP mass a good hard look and week 3 looks looong. But fun nonetheless haha.

359

Subbed.

Almost at the end of your first week, did you enjoy it? Training is looking good man.

I found as the weeks went on that the routines were getting shorter; the breaks between sets get shorter and you can pretty much strategise which sets you can do with less/more rest time etc.

Thanks, buddy. Yeah I have been enjoying it so far. I’ve been busy traveling and stuff the past couple of days so I haven’t posted, but I will

Sorry, but I’ve read the bold over several times and still can’t make sense of it lol
