You all ever get some information that feels like a kick to the stomach. I just did. Just discovered that my most recent ex apparently was full of poo poo and was likely cheating on me (and is now with the dude). poo poo happens and it's one of those things that I know I'm better off... still feels like a big gently caress you.

Anyways... E/N over. Just reaffirms my goals in this log.

I have no clue how anyone would bulk while doing IF. I'm only eating around 3000-3300 calories on high days in a 6-8 hour window. I'm bloated as gently caress! Guessing it'd take more liquid calories to really bulk on this.

I keep fat around 80g as much as I can. But I do get a decent amount of my carbs from dextrose pwo, and I also grind oats in a coffee grinder for use in protein shakes with milk (for easy calories that are slightly less filling)
My diet is "clean" though because I just feel healthier and less sluggish when I eat that way.

Besides jack3d before lifting, no supplements. And if I ever do anything steroid like again I'll just do a cycle of the real stuff. Epi didn't do much more than help me maintain strength while cutting.

Also if I do this recomp right any cut I have to do should be minor.

How do you like Jack3d? I've considered picking a bottle up but I'm weary of purchasing most EXTREME supplements because I could waste money on other things

I got tired of making my own pre workout (which honestly was cheaper) so I bought a jug of it. Before I would mix caffeine, DMAA, and Beta Alanine on my own. (25 mg DMAA, 100-200 mg caffeine, and 4-5g BA)

It works for the pick me up and I'm definitely AMPED for my workouts, but I'd bet money there isn't enough Beta Alanine on its own. I don't really care about Arginine or Creatine since the first doesn't do anything for anyone, and second doesn't do anything for me.

If you have a scale that will read out in milligrams and are worried about money you can make your own like I used to. Basically I'm lazy.

Yeah I'm able to workout at about 1 pm each day, and I know if I have caffeine anytime after 6 or 7 my sleep sucks (I am able to get to sleep but I never end up rested from it).

Don't feel bad, according to LSV creatine is pretty much overhyped poo poo anyways.

Is it weird that tonight I did 35lbs for 4 sets of 12 on these and I'm weaker than you? I feel like I'm doing them properly and controlled, if not slow negative. Do you keep your arms straight or bent?

Slightly bent, but arms need to be completely out to the side or I involve too much front delt (so start and end with DBs at your side, not in front). Also I make sure that it's completely my delt doing the work not momentum (no swinging) and hold the weight iron cross style at the top. If you can't hold the weight for a bit at the top you're using momentum to move the weight instead of the muscle.

Edit: Done this way, with resting between sets I could likely get about 4 sets of 10 on 35s. The drop set is done with zero rest.
