Tested out my one-rep maxes again because I wanted to test them before winter break. Pretty much where I wanted them to be.

Deadlift: 495x1 (2 singles)
Squat: 405x1 (2 singles)
Bench: 275x1 (1 single)

I only hit bench once because I didn't want to ask for a spot a second time. :beli: Had to grind a bit, but I tried to keep my form on point. I'm just glad I didn't die or snap my shyt up. :blessed:

I'll try again at the end of January, and then around early March, before I start a cut.

Let me know I'm always afraid other PW won't have as much volume which I like about Jym. I basically don't want to take a shot, the extra hydration is a plus.

Did my first Pre-Kaged workout today. Notes

  • A serving scoop of this is 25% heavier than Pre-Jym. Damn
  • I ignored the instructions to mix with 16-20 OZ water....used 12 OZ instead. Big mistake. Texture was gritty and nauseating. My fault though. Hopefully it mixes better with 16 tomorrow, and maybe I will give it a few more minutes to dissolve
  • Taste was standard fruit punch. Completely inoffensive so thats good
  • When I opened the tub there was a seperation of colors which I thought was odd, it wasn't blended well. I shook the tub and ended up getting a more even color before I scooped
Now, onto the workout...

  • I'm not stimulant sensitive anymore so I didn't feel any sort of rush. I never really do with any pre-workout unless I'm on an empty stomach
  • Energy and focus felt completely clean the entire 50 minute workout, and I was ready physically to keep going even longer if I wanted to
  • I outperformed my previous comparative workout (pre-jym fueled) in every single set from the start to the finish. Sometimes by one rep, sometimes by more
That being said, I am still recovering from a lower back injury and I am still re-building my strength from a lot of days taken off. So improving my performance on every set seems very impressive, but it should be somewhat expected.

Conclusion after one workout: At the very least, this is as good as Pre-Jym. But based on todays results, its even better. Take my results with a grain of salt though due to my physical circumstances

Ive started doing front squats recently and its fukking my wrist up, does this shyt get better over time or do I need to buy some straps to do that variation of it below

Also I tried the other way of crossing your arm, but that shyt feels super awkward.
