Anyone used Amonia Smelling Salts? They have spiked my interest recently. Perhaps they will allow the next level of beast mode to be unlocked

 

[Delvis]

Your training is like a damn RPG

Beast mode is the state of mind you must enter before lifting heavy ass weights

This.

I get into states where I'm punching my steering wheel with the beat to loud ass music on the way to the gym some nights. It's awesome.

But with a calorie deficit, I would struggle in the gym with the weights.

Less so than you think though, not as if your going to drop to half of what your doing. You may just not go up as fast as what you are doing.

There is a reason there is guys at 70~kg that can lift stupid amount of weights.

God I wish I was like this. I'm just about awake by the time I get to the gym. I should probably start going in the evenings, after work but then I lose all motivation as all I want to do is go home and chill out.

On another note, I've just started to incorporate some form of HIT into my cardio sessions having just watched the horizon documentary (typical sheep mentality, I know!) but I'm curious to know from those of you have been doing it beforehand what makes up your HIT?

I go after the gym when doped up on copious amounts of caffeine, with creatine and a banané!

Tried going firsrt thing in the morning a couple weeks back after breakfast, awful awful workout!

Rob just knock back a pre-workout supp and you'll be buzzing.
When I was working in London I used to drink my pre-workout on the train as it was coming into the station then go straight to the gym.

 

[Deception]

Gonna knock back some caffeine in the morning before mine, will let you know how it goes tomorrow!

I'm taking the SciVation Xtend supp for pre & post workout, got any suggestions on what I can mix into pre to get me going?

 

[Skillmister]

I just have the odd coffee really...Sometimes nothing, depends how the day has been before.

I haven't used caffeine in a few months. I usually do training at 7am while fasted, so extra buzz will come in handy at those hours

 

[LiE]

Be careful taking pre-workout supps on an empty stomach, they can make you feel sick.

Thanks! I'm always a little cautious when taking energy enhancers/drinks since one of my mates got rushed to hospital with arrhythmia during one of his sessions, having taken some energy boost supps.

 

[currantloaf]

For this reason I avoid the chocolate flavours. Try vanilla, it's LUSH!!

I have 5kg sitting in reserve... I fear the day i return to it . Its just a little too sweet imo but its not the worst ive had

 

[icecold]

Just about to go to the gym for some conditioning...

Clean and Jerk = 90kg

Clean was smooth and actually easier than I expected, I don't know what happened but my drive wasn't as good as normal on the jerk so it ended up as a clean + jerk + press.
