Question for you Rob-

Close to starting GLP2 now, and wondering:

- Do I do EDT's the same in GLP 2? (2 upper EDT, 1 Lower EDT)
- calories at 100% for "on" days/ 70% for "off" days so I can recomp?
- what if I do cardio on "off" day- still 70% calories?


thanks!
Doug

I forgot how hard dips are, and how stretched my chest feels afterward! My extra fat isn't helping my dips and pull-ups, but that will change.
I wasn't feeling that strong today, but it's a start.

Just started KA today

Great workout!

Speaking of Kre-Anabolyn, I've got the BP Mass Stack on the way AND I just got my 2 BP Tee Shirts.

They look FANTASTIC! OK I'm biased but I hope you guys feel the same. Damn, this Jeff the T-shirt guys does some FINE work!

Eliminate it and try DB's.

Also, get on Cissus of some sort, ideally a 5-10% extract. The lower % extracts are SUPERB for healing these types of injuries. To that, invest in a sled you can drag.

6-10 trips with a lighter weight dragging forward and backward (alternate). For the forward, mimic a front DB raise, flye or steep incline movement. For the backward drag, mimic an upright row/lower cable row and bent over lateral raise type movemen(s).

That will help considerably!

Never tried Cissus before. looking at bb store-Something like PrimaForce or USPlabs? The dosages seem to be all over the place, should it be something like 1000mg? one of them even mentioned a loading phase for 3 weeks- necessary?

I know you've written b4 on sleds, so I'll look around our forum to find that info.

Thanks Rob!

Crazy sore today but in a good way :D

Cissus is best dosed IMO at about 800mg/day of the 5% extract for such injuries. Look for it in that % in products when shopping. Take one of these earlier in the day and another before bed.

Also, look hard at the Ultimate Omega fish oil here (bottom of the page). It's another powerful anti-inflammatory research proven to do just that and a whole lot more:

https://bodybuildingsupplements.com/health-fitness.html

As with all MASS supps.... top shelf and worth every penny IMO. The orange flavor tastes damn good too and does a great job masking the fish oil itself. A tablespoon/day beats tons of any capsule product I've used. Just my $0.02...

I can't believe how much better my shoulder feels, and I haven't had a chance to get some cissus or fish oil yet. CRAZY recovery!

Just finished workout # 1 of GLP2- Lower

Workout One- Lower Set Completion/ Totals
Leg Press 310 x 6
Leg Press 310 x 6
Leg Press 310 x 6
Leg Press 310 x 6

REST
SLDL 105 x 8
Leg Ext. 110 x 8
SLDL 105 x 8
Leg Ext 110 x 8
SLDL 105 x 8
Leg ext 110 x 8
SLDL 105 x 8
Legext 110 x 8

REST
DB Side Bends 35 x 30
DB Side Bends 35 x 30

I went light on SLDL just to make sure that sports hernia didn't flare up. It went real well, so hopefully I'll be able to add some weight next time. I haven't done deads in a LONG time, and really liked it.
Originally my EDT was going to be SLDL and hyperextensions, but I felt like supersetting those could compromise my low back on the SLDL's, so I changed to leg extensions.
