New Muscle Pump Coaching

Surge is a 10 out of 10 for me. I haven’t taken much for intra workout nutrition or have in the past very sporadically and I’m definitely a believer in it. The pumps are great. Soreness is less than it’s ever. And the taste is absolutely fantastic.

Apple, Watermelon…

Today was -

Inc Dumbbell: 90’s 5 x 5 paused. Easy
Pulldown with loaded stretch
Front Squat: 3 x 3 up to 235
Inv Row
Paused Shrugs: 90 x 40 reps

I just don’t lose steam. Strength stays consistent. Pump is full. Vascularity is increasing each time.

I really have no complaints with the product or the workout. I’m making gains at a very fast rate. That sort of thing can’t really be critiqued or complained about.

Dave are you tracking your food? I was really impressed with your gains so I’m just curious.

Dr Darden, I know the guidelines are 3500-4000 calories for food. Is there a specific macro breakdown you recommend? If I remember right you advocated a 50/25/25 split (carbs/protein/fat) but could be wrong.

Thank you very much, but No I don’t. I keep approximate track of my protein but otherwise I just eat when I’m hungry and try to make sure I’m eating enough to always feel adequately recovered.

Well it sure works! Keep it up. I can’t wait to see how you progress through the next couple phases.

Yes, 50-25-25 is what I recommend for most people.

Thank you!

Happy to see the team here put up through 16 weeks of workouts on the Challenge. That’s a lot of free content from recognized names.

Thanks all involved.

Quite amazing really! How is the challenge going for you?

It’s going pretty well. I like the 3 day a week schedule and the pace of the workouts. Surge definitely works. I have had more vascularity and generally fuller muscles for weeks now (my arms are filling out all my XXL t-shirts).

Haven’t weighed myself yet so I don’t know how thats going, but I haven’t gained anything on my waist. So fat in the wrong places seems to be keeping constant.

That’s quite amazing. That’s a large shirt to fill
out too!

Short on time today.

Viking Press drop sets: 90, 80, 65, 55, 45 for 5 reps each x 2 sets. Burrrrrnnnnn

Ring pull ups : 3 x 15

I will absolutely follow the Surge training program until the end. I do, however, have a four-day vacation schedule in August, roughly two weeks from now. There won’t be any serious training while away.

Should I continue with the once-daily serving of Surge in 1.8L of water on vacation?

I’d say you probably could use a four-day break. Get back on your regular schedule when you return from your vacation.

Thanks for the reply, coach!

I’ll do just that.

Any word on the discount code to replenish our Surge WOF?

I’m getting low and hoping to put in order in ASAP. Thanks again sponsoring this challenge.
