Hey 240, on Monday I sort of took your advise. I did flat bench with “man weight” and was in the 4-5 rep range. Then for incline and decline I used a weight I could get for 20 reps. I say at about 13 or 14 reps I felt spent but with some focus I got the last 6-7. I havent went that light in a while and to telly ou the truth I had way more pump than when I stay in my normal 8-10 rep range. I am a bit more sore than normal as well. Just wanted to let you know I liked it and I am going to blast my back and bi’s 2night with the same routine. ---

> [@Orr89rocz](#): > > twoforty… do you take the MRP before lifting and after? or just before and a whey protein afterwards? well i lift at 8am so i wake up at about 7am and drink a really watered down MRP and begin drinking water. after my workout take like 40 grams of protein/40 grams of carbs(white bread), 5grams of creatine and 5 grams of glutamine. thats what i do when im trying to gain mass and bulk up 🙂 when im looking to cut some of my excess fat off i sleep until like 730ish and as soon as i wake up i take some sort of energy/diet pill. the recent ones i used were VPX redline and Biotest hotrox. ill go to the gym and do my resistance training followed by cardio. post workout is similar but not the same. i still try to get 40 of each protein and carbs! i dont use creatine during cutting due to its diuretic effects because im already losing enough water from the cardio and diet/energy pill Jimmy ---

any tips for traps? right now we do trap/shoulder shrugs on the barbell… usually do a warm up with 225, then 315… then two workin sets of real heavy… 445lbs now for 4-5 or so. then drop down to 315 for 10 or so. ---
