lol at worrying if people think your exercise "counts"

 

I think it's just a saying in general. Proper form + full range of motion > a shit ton of weight

 

That extra 1-1.5" of motion does absolutely nothing except strain my rotator cuff

 

leg day today, just took my creatine and jack3d micro, about to go in 30 mins.
squats 4 x 10
leg press 4 x10
quad ext 4x10
calf rasies 4x10
front squat 4x10

idk if i should do 10 reps per set or to failure. so imma just gonna go with 10 reps like i always do.

 

I wasn't worrying about it at all. But alright.

 

I'm the same way with my bench, shoulder press too. I could bench the bar only and if it goes down to my chest on bench then I can feel strain in my left rotator cuff. Wrecked my dirt bike 2 years ago and tore all the cartilige in my rotator cuff. I go slightly passed elbows at parrallel with shoulder press, but anything farther and I won't be shoulder pressing for a while. These are the reason's why I ALWAYS use the smith machine, plus I don't have a spotter/gym partner.

 

I'm starting to feel like a dam chemist when i work out now. BCAA's preworkout glutacor then after bcaa's glutacor and protien. Seems like too much.

 

lol i just take creatine and jack3d for pre-workout, tons of lean clean meat and complex carb for the post work out and sleep 8 hours a day. thats pretty much my whole routine.

 

Nice i'm not a fan of jack3d though. Too much caffeine. I'm using NOXP3 atm and I love it.

 

that's my goal too. I'm maxing out around 290, only 15 more lbs to go!

 

I have no idea to be honest. Have a buddy i work out with that researches all that crap so i just listen.

 

I do take them before with my preworkout and glutacor then if my workout goes longer than 1 hour i will sip on some bcaa during the workout.

 

I used to get alot of shoulder pain. Then I really focused on stretching and warming up. No more shoulder pain.

 

right now i just take karbolyn before, xtend bcaa's during, and pro complex weight gainer after


little updated pic of how i'm currently looking, I've never been this big yet so lean, and I'm not using very many sups, eating healthy and feel great!

 

i would have to bench 560lb to double my body weight...................ya that aint happening lol

 

im using the new jack3d micro, to be honest i don't even feel the caffeine, i take it cuz i get a crazy pump and i can lift for 2 hours with little to no rest and not get tired
