I’m going to end up back over 270lbs again! Mods, please replace ice cream with broccoli for me.

I’ve never heard of BlueBell (from Oregon). Now that I’m in Texas… This looks delicious.
Best thing that ever happened to me, weight wise, was Covid shutting down PDX. I haven’t had Salt & Straw in 3 years.
Stop it! Stop it right now!

Sir, can I use all nautilus machines? It’s faster and I have to lug enough weight around on the farm. I think it will work.
Except forearms, chins and dips.
Using1800 ml of surge, two Gatorades and a half jar on peanut butter two more plots are turned with a Rouge Boss hoe, raked and seeds ready to drop. It’s 108 heat index and I feel good. Start workouts next week in earnest, hopefully.
Give me a list of your Nautilus machines?
Haven’t gotten my Surge yet so did a simple back and biceps workout today but applied the principles from the Surge workouts to get a feel for the moves.
Got a good pump with no supplementation so looking forward to what Surge does for me.

I may need to go there to get a complete list because there’s Nautilus, Hammer strength, Life Fitness etc. 32 million dollars in equipment alone. I used the Nautilus pullover, Life Fitness pulldown, Pec Dec, incline press, Lateral raise, Life Fitness rear delt. Nautilus bicep, Life Fitness bicep, 5 different shoulder press machine. Selector or plate loaded. Standing curl machine, Tricep ext, Tricep dip. Leg, calf and glute machines are many. Ab and lower back. Many more, I’ll need to go there .
Okay, it sounds like you could do mostly a machine workout for each of the listed body parts. Keep accurate records of your workouts and your results should be interesting.
When performing the “Flutter” set what percent of the total range of motion is the movement and where within the % movement location: Ex., If the stretched position is 0% and contracted is 100%, where should we “fluttering”? Between 25% and 75%? Between 40% and 60%?
Will do, with your principles.
Paul Anderson knew that honey (and milk) was the secret all along!

For the next few weeks, I will be running the program with minimal equipment: bands, a few dumbbells, sandbags and a plate carrier. Just completed workout 2, modified with this minimal equipment, and it absolutely translates. Awesome workout.

Either one of those segments would work. First, however, try 40 to 60%.

Did my first Surge workout today.
- Triceps… check.
- Forearms… check.
-Thighs… check. - Lats… check adjacent.
I usually have a hard time feeling Lats, so ive always ramped up the volume. Will attempt switching BB Row out for Yates Row, but I felt very little Horizontal Lat action.
Also, i watered down my Lemon Surge and enjoyed it WAY more. It tasted like what lemon water should taste like. Will try out the Wild Berry flavor tomorrow.
Aaaand i did a little Trap work off program… because Traps.

For the bicep block, every set is around 80 seconds and we need to do 3 after each other with no rest, so that’s around 240 seconds of continuous work.
Do I understand that one correctly?
You’ll find that there’s a natural speedup during the block. Your total time will be approximately 180 seconds.
Finished workout #2 and posted it on my log. For those starting out and figuring out weights, I’d definitely err on the side of going lighter than you think you should. For example, in the OHP in the Shoulders block, even 95 lbs was too much for the Stimulate set of 10 for me. This is usually a FSL weight for me in 531 where I can get 20 reps on a widowmaker. Curls, too, will really add up during the Stimulate phase.
I also had one of each flavor this morning, the Lemon as the pre-workout drink and the Berry as the intra-workout drink. Still think the Berry is a bit better, but like them both.
