SOUL upon entry: Make a deal with the devil [power/strength training log]

No shit?

I'm interested in the other things in your pre-workout stack, and the reasons behind them. Looks like you've got caffeine/aspirin, fish oil, B-complex, and pseudo (ephedrine?).

I eat a couple bananas before a workout, drink water with electrolytes during, and have a protein/dextrose/creatine shake afterward. I think what I'm doing is sensible, but I could use a little more energy when going for max weights.

Do you prefer psuedo to ephedrine or is it a safety issue for you?

[DEVILsSON]

i prefer pseudo...plus it helps with my colds which I seem to have quite frequently lol...also not quite as powerful as straight E...

[mschatz]

The amount of weight you use scares me

[DEVILsSON]

Went to home depot bought

5/16" HRS 36 inches
5/16" Zinc Plated 36 inches
1/4" Square Plain 36 inches
1/4" HRS Zinc Plated 36 inches

I assumed where it doesnt say HRS it's CRS....after killing last blue in under 15 sec...I am trying to create myself a decent progression....bought some bolt cutters too

Ended up getting a file set to file down my grippers to do BTRs....did my BBGM on one side a bit and it became a considerably harder...

Got a nice board which I cut in half at home for board presses(had 1, now will have 3)...

Barely walked out without a sledge(I already have a 16 which I choke down but I was thinking about 8-10lber....I tried it at the store and was able to lever 8lber and almost 10lbers from a few inches from the bottom choked....also was thinking baout 3/8" chains the biggest they had....I think it will be a nice change of pace for me but decided to leave it for next time....

Don't bother with the 3/8". They're too light. I use 1/2" and those are too light. Go to a local specialty hardware store and check out their chain selection.

When do you take your pseudo stack in relation to your workout?

[DEVILsSON]

I take pseudo+caffeine+aspirin about 30-45 min before my workouts.....


What do the chains go for about in specialty hardware stores? Home Depot sells them for like a couple bucks per foot for the 3/8".....so it will be quite expensive.....
