And that was all I had time for today. Had just finished working a 12 hour ER shift and my wife wanted me home so we could eat and try to get into bed before 11PM… and now I’m at work again! Ripped Cocktail is almost gone… probably 1-2 days worth left (I think I dosed it 4 times once during my vacation lol)
DAY 2

CYCLE: 4
DAY: LEGS (SQUAT), 3×3
BODYWEIGHT: Didn’t check it
PREWORKOUT: 4 caps Athletix AcuteFX + 2 more caps intra mixed w/ a sample pack of iForce Compete
Narrative: I was really looking forward to getting into the gym and working out today but my day did not start off as well as I would have liked. I woke up with a huge pain in my neck like I had slept on it weird. Hurt to turn to the left. I figured I’d try foam rolling it and doing some stretches to see if it would help but to no avail. I didn’t care because I still wanted to get my squats in! During my warmup sets I decided to try them without my shoes on and during the 3rd set I felt my patellar tendon pull slightly in my left knee. It didn’t hurt or anything, but it definitely got in my head 
! Long story short… I wasn’t 100% ready to go today and I should have listened to my body and taken it easy. My neck still hurts like I pulled it super hard or something… not sure whats going on.

Took my 2 scoops of RC right when I woke up. Felt the same as yesterday. Plan on taking my third dose here something late afternoon. Don’t wanna take it too close to bedtime! Gotta help my sister in law move in with us for a few months… that should be a blast. She’s studying to be a physical therapist so maybe she can work on my neck! LOL. Tomorrow will most likely be cardio day or and off day… and then who knows what’ll happen Saturday. Sunday the wife and I leave to head to Michigan for a week for our 1 year anniversary (has it been that long???) but I’m bringing RC with me and will keep track of my progress while I’m up there.
Until next time,

DAY 4: LEGS
Origin prior to walking into the gym. 2 scoops. Still tastes great. Like a slightly watered-down Hawaiian Punch… delicious! Focus was DEAD ON today. The mind-muscle connection with this supplement is fantastic and I needed it today because I put my legs through the grind big time. Instead of doing the compound movements first I instead decided to pre-exhaust the legs and saved squats for last. Everything got punished today and we’ll see if ORIGIN can help with the DOMS I’m accustomed to after a strenuous leg routine!
WARMUP: 12 minutes on the Stair Master machine
STIFF LEGGED DEADLIFT: 95×12 warmup 135×12 155×10 165×8 95×12

LEG PRESS: 215×15 235×15 255×15
COOLDOWN: 10 minute walk at 3.0mph pace with 7.5% elevation on treadmill
By the time I got to the squats my legs were destroyed… and this was the point. To see what fibers I still had left to rip up 
Pre-exhaustion certainly led to a decrease in the weight I’m used to squatting but it had quite the effect on my goal to push myself beyond my limits. The first 8-10 of each set of squats was generally easy, but towards the higher end of each set my legs began to shake. 135/145/155 is usually a warmup weight for me on the leg days when I actually squat first so this isn’t a weight I’m not used to… but try doing squats at the end of your workout and it’ll change your mindset for sure. ORIGIN kept me amped up and in the zone the entire time I was in the gym. My concentration began to falter slightly during the leg press since I had been in the gym at that point for almost 2 hours. I almost wanted to dose more halfway through 
! Felt great. Probably not going to be able to walk tomorrow… we’ll see
