I'm not sure how people would use this solo without some form of test base. The lethargy on this has been really hitting me hard lately.

Bench numbers are climbing and aren't too far off from previous numbers. As a result of the layoff, the pec is a little tight, but that'll fix itself relatively quickly. I do need to work on my technique and speed, which I expected. Other than that, everything is going along nicely. PRs will be broken very soon.

For S&G's ,I popped 12.5mg ephedrine with ~1.25 scoops of Alphamine pre-training and I was freaking flying. I knocked out the entire session including warming up in just a bit over an hour. Speed felt great and my hips are still feeling great thanks to ELDOA.
Rounding the home stretch here and this is the last week of the bottle. I'll post by final review and pics next week.

You know, sometimes I'm an idiot and get off-track. Looking back at my old training, I've noticed that I get stronger and maintain health when I have a high amount of shoulder volume. None of it is heavy outside of the OHP, but the amount of overall work done increases mass and, ergo, stability of the joint. Not coincidentally, I've been getting healthier and stronger since I've started blasting my delts 2x/week.

I'll just leave this here. That's 600#, BTW, and a PR.
