Today I felt like a BEAST. I decided to up my dosage of White Flood to 3/4 of a serving. I also did 1 and 3/4 of a serving of PW.

I have been doing a little contest with some of the guys at BB.com and basically through this contest I have pushed my body to the physical limit. What this contest has taught me is that my body is physically stronger then I previously thought. Previously my mind has told me that big dumbbells are for big guys. I am a small person and I shouldn't be near anything 70+. Today I proved myself wrong. Here is my workout.

  1. Flat Bench Dumbbell Press, 5 Sets, 7 Reps per Set, 60/80/85/90/85 Pounds each Arm [Yes... I did 90. I felt like I was the king of the world. Both 85 and 90 are a personal record. I felt I pushed my body to the LIMIT today I don't think I'll be able to do 95 at all.]
  2. Incline Bench Dumbbell Press, 2 Sets, 7 Reps per Set, 70 Pounds each Arm [PR... I tried 75s but failed twice.]
  3. Incline Bench Dumbbell Flyes, 5 Sets, 7 Reps per Set, 45 Pounds each Arm [PR...]
  4. Concentration Curls, 4 Sets, 7 Reps per Set, 95/85/85/85 Pounds [PR… Wow…]
  5. Barbell Curls, 3 Sets, 7 Reps per Set, 70 Pounds
  6. Dumbbell Hammer Curls, 3 Sets, 7 Reps per Set, 50 Pounds
  7. Palms Down EZ Barbell Wrist Curls, 1 Set, 50 Reps per Set, 70 Pounds
  8. Palms Up EZ Barbell Wrist Curls, 1 Sets, 50 Reps per Set, 70 Pounds

I had an insane workout. Felt like puking in the beginning because of all the weight. My heart was pumping after each set. I was scared at how big the 90 pound db looked. I pushed past my fear and did it.

Thanks to PW/WF for letting my body tap into its reserve. Thanks to my BB.com buddies for the competitive fire.

Decided to workout at 9 pm. Wasn't going to but what the hell? Took White Blood before my workout. 1 capsule and I felt the NO =).

  1. 15 Minute, Light Run
  2. 7 Pull Ups

Yea was a quick workout, just relaxing to end the night. Half a scoop of whey and a glass of milk PWO. Time for bed. Tomorrow I'm going to ROCK Tim's record of 85 pound dumbbell press. Time to own some butt.

Felt pretty ripped after my workout so I took some picture. Got some nice comments at the end of the night as well. Notice the increased vascularity from White Blood. I don't have veins, but WB gives me veins =)
