Todays weight 88.7kg

Had another good workout today (although it was interrupted by a fire alarm). It was the last day of focusing on the negative part of the lifts and I am happy with how my muscles have responded to this type of training.

Deadlift - 6x50kg, 6x80kg, 6x100kg
Close grip pull up - 6 sets of 10
Vertical row machine - 3x12 @ 63.5kg
Wide grip lat pulldown - 3x12 @ 50kg
Unilateral dumbbell bent over row - 20x26kg (for each side, then did negatives when I reached failure)

Serratus:

One arm cable pulldown - 2x12 @ 27.5kg (did negatives when I reached failure on the second set for each side)
Barbell pull overs - 12x15kg, 12x17.5kg

Biceps:

Hammer curl - 20x8kg, 4x20kg, 4x20kg, 30x8kg
Bicep barbell 21s - 3 sets @ 17.5kg
Unilateral cable bicep curls - 13x16kg, 12x18kg (did negatives when reached failure for both sets each side)

I am taking next week off. I'll be away over the weekend and for the first part of next week and then I have my parents coming for a visit at the end of the week. I was thinking that I would try and fit a few workouts when I could, but instead I decided I would probably do better just having a week off so that my muscles can fully recover and rest and then hit the gym again and hopefully make more gains. I will carry on taking the slin and gear during my week off and will eat clean. Will update my log as and when I can.

I made it through my week off. I have to say a massive thanks to the NTBM team because their products kick serious ass, and the Slin and Gear gave me total peace of mind in that I knew my body and muscles were getting the most out of all the nutrients. Gear is a gift from the gods because I was able to use it with low protein meals while I was away and I knew my muscles were getting the protein they needed.

So... everything is cool, my body comp is still improving with the slin and taking a week off hasn't set me back at all and I am fully recovered after the week of negatives I was doing before I had the week off. I had no loss of strength when I got back to the gym today and the focus and intensity returned as if I hadn't been away. It's a good feeling to shock the muscles after a weeks down time, looking forward to some nice new gains because of it.

I hit my chest, triceps and biceps today. Made sure I got all the angles covered and ended with a wicked pump in my biceps.

It's good to be back.

I worked legs and back today, hit it hard and intense. Felt sick after I had finished and was totally drained. My muscles are feeling good and my strength continues to increase. It's almost like I can feel my muscles getting bigger.

Had a rest day yesterday, but was back in the gym hitting it hard again. Have some soreness in muscles worked earlier in the week, but apart from that everything is cool. The Slin and Gear are excellent, doing the job perfectly and I got the 10 bottles more of each I ordered through yesterday, so am stocked up for a while.

Worked my delts and traps today, had a full on burn in my delts like usual.

Does anyone know if need2slin becomes less effective when it has been taken for a while? Or if it should be cycled at all?

Muscle soreness has all gone today. I kept a high intensity during my workout today, only having a 30 second rest between sets. I worked on my back, serratus, forearms and biceps.

I had been doing 2 sessions a week for forearms because I wanted to bring them up. I'm happy with they way they look now, some nice definition and good size, so I have now dropped to only 1 session a week for forearms. I'm still going to carry on with 2 sessions for back because I am working to bring up my lat spread, so it will take a while longer to get the desired results. So far I have noticed a good change in size so it is giving me the incentive to keep up the pace.

I switched to doing bicep 21s a few weeks back, and it is working well, but I will switch back to bicep curls for a few weeks just to keep things fresh.

Have a couple of rest days over the weekend, so will enjoy the sunshine and get ready to hit it hard again next week.
