WEIGHT THIS MORNING 174(NOT BAD FOR 1 WEEK POST SHOW) ARMS 15 1/2 CHEST 43 1/4 FLEX LAT SPREAD 42 1/2 (ALL COLD MEASURMENTS) (WILL REMEASURE IN 4 WEEKS)
Took my WTF and PRIMED ULTRA 30 minutes prior to my w/o. Didnt notice it until a few minutes into my w/o kicking in. Also in was gradual not like a rush then gone. Really like the focus and recovery i obtained from it. Felt ready to go for my next set with in a couple minutes. Usually during power week its about 4-5 minutes before i feel ready for another heavy set. Today was like 2-3 minutes and i was ready. Man did i have weeble woble legs. ABSOLUTELY A GREAT LEG WOROUT AFTER 2 WEEKS OF NOT DOING THEM. My strength was way better than i had anticipated.
STRENGTH:10/10-->The reason for 10/10 is i feel that i wouldnt have been close to those numbers after not doing legs for 2 weeks. Also it was fairly light feeling..
FOCUS: 10/10-->Never felt out of focus through the whole workout and didnt want to stop. Just wanted to keep going, felt really good.
PUMP: 7/10-->Power week i really never get a huge pump like i do with RR and Shock week. So i gauge my power week by the weeble wooble feeling. Which was there 10 fold. Dont get me wrong i did have a pump in my legs but for me i need higher reps to really gauge my legs and the pump.
RECOVERY: 10/10 Recovery was AWESOME in my book. As stated above during power week i usually need a longer time for recovery and to feel ready. Today it was like 2-3 minutes and i was ready and wanted to do my next set, which i did. AWESOME!!!!
STAMINA: 10/10--> For leg days usualy kick my ASS! Today i felt like i could keep going. Like the energizer bunny!!! To have the feeling of not wanting to stop and die during legs I give it a 10/10 on power leg day. i also felt i pushed it pretty hard for day one back at it for me to give it a 10/10 on stamina. I usually start fatiguing near the end of my leg w/o's and today there was NONE!
Looking forward to chest and delts on Tuesday..

Hoops! Hey Bro! Looking good man!
I like the way you have this Journal organized. Very detailed, step-by-step, use of a measurement (ie:7-10) Cool! I like it!
Hey 174 is cool, don't sweat the numbers. I do think I will try to keep mine down to a manageable number from here on out.
I like to keep at 154 1/4 Contest, so the most I ever want to go is 164 -170 tops off season.
I did delts the other day. Had an incredible pump on my front delts. Now, I have suffered pain doing front raises, etc before..but never A PUMP. Lighter weight, seated front raises isolating the delt, one side at a time. Felt awesome.
Keep hitting it buddy.....Definately gotta hook up for the NABBA Nats........looking forward to September!
May try the Bill Grant Sports Expo in July as a warm-up. See how I look and feel.

Great job,Hoops.......Looking forward to getting together for the NABBA show. I e-mailed Bob Gruskin to see if they had a location or date yet. John DeFendis and Gruskin were very close during John's early years in the sport, and John has always encouraged me to do the NABBA Nationals.....looks like it will finally happen this year!! I'll be doing both the Over 40 and Over 50 ( my birthday is in June) if am allowed to crossover. If I can't crossover I'll do the Over 40 only.

incline bench 225x6 235x6 245x6
dips bw+25x6 bw+45x6
milt press 165x6 185x6 205x6
upright rows 135x6 155x6,6
db side laterals 25x6 30x6
WTF and Primed taken about 40 minutes prior workout. I could feel it coming on just as i started into my w/o. Same effect as legs, a nice gradual enrgy increase with awesome focus. Again the recovery was great, only about 2-3 minutes and i was ready to go for he next set.
STRENGTH: 10/10 I am just reallyimpressed with where my strength is for power week. Never expected it to be where it is at.
FOCUS: 10/10 Felt ready for the next set every time. Never had the feeling of not wanting to hit the next set. Felt a constant readiness.
PUMP: 8/10 I tell you what i had a nice chest and shoulder pump for a power workout. Really felt tight. Very impressive...
RECOVERY: 10/10 My recovery was just outstanding. For going heavy with each set and increasing the weight i was ready within minutes. Not the normal 4-5 minutes to feel ready both mentaly and physically. More like 2-3 minutes...
STAMINA: 10/10 AWESOME!!!!! What can i say i felt like the energizer bunny. I could have kept working out.
So far i am very impressed with this stack. I have noticed NO crash later in the day either. This stack really has me looking forward to rep range and shock weeks.. Power weeks usually reallykick my ass and i feel great. My tongue is usually dragging. thursday is power back...

If your tongue starts dragging, contact Gene Simmons (KISS). He could probably suggest a few things for that! ;D

Only put down working sets.
10 by 10 across the board. This combo is freaking AWESOME. My strength is great in my opinion for the first week back. The PUMP in my arms was AWESOME. to have that kinda pump during power week was unreal. My arms would get a pump to them during power week but no tlike this. Mental focus, pump, strength and recovery where to notch. banging heavy working sets wiht only 2-3 minute breaks between sets.

Awesome pump in my back/lats with this workout. Great recovery again. focus was ok i was more tired than anything today. Didnt want to get up when the alarm went off. The stack did give me some pep but not like the other days. Like i said i was tired and didnt want to get up. Still had great focus during my workout just the energy level was a little less than normal. Hey you'll have those days in my book and nothing will get you out of it. Still had a great w/o with strong numbers in my book. Stronger than i expected again....
