Discussion
The calories are low and I’m not go to beat around the bush, I’m REALLY sore. These giant set workouts are killer and I challenge any of you to try them. Yes, the poundages are a lot lighter and the surface it looks fairly easy. However, after the first set you pretty much realize how tortuous this really is and ****ed you are with each consecutive rep in later sets.
Some of you who are newer to my log/blog are probably wondering where I got the idea for workouts like this. Quite frankly, it came from watching Milos Sarcev on the FitShow. I wanted some shock techniques and this certainly exceeded my expectations. Rich Gaspari himself filmed an episode a few months back running through some similiar leg training. Hopefully it will get aired shortly.
Anyway, I’m low on calories, recovery is a bitch, and my knees are starting to show signs of wear and tear from all the cardio I’m doing on top of my training. However, my strength is still pretty good and I’m holding onto some good mass despite losing 35lbs since I started. The Lean Xtreme and Thyrotabs are proving to be a very solid stack which is usually what I recommend out in the stores I demos at. It is one of the post potent non-stim fat loss stack (legal) you can buy in major brick and mortar retail outlets. I look forward to logging the new Lean Xtreme 2.0 in the coming weeks.
