They Do, Its just not that much cheaper Then Local to be honest. Factor In Shipping and wait time. Also one of my Favorite Supplement Shops always has Sales So I stock up then.

Current Supplements are
Kirkland Omega-3 (420epa 280dpa 1200mg)
Kirkland Mens Multivitamin
Now Supplements Double Strength Taurine Pills ( Helps With Leg Cramps)
Kaizen Whey Isolate Chocolate
MP Combat Cookies and cream
Cellucor C4 Extreme Pre-Workout(use it Intra As well).

Can you order shit from bodybuilding.com or do they not ship to the great white north? I'd imagine they do.

While we're on this topic I might add:

Dymatize casein has a good protein profile and all that good stuff but the flavors are shit. I have the cinnamon bun and it's actually delicious, but I've also had the cookies and cream and rich chocolate and they are shit compared to Optimums casein. Just figured I'd throw that out there. I'm not trying to down Dymatize stuff as their product is decent and the price is good, but some of the flavors leave little to be desired.

I get my Protein at Costco, Due to a 5Lb Tub of Kaizen Whey Isolate or MusclePharm Combat is only $45 Vs $70+ at most Supplement stores here. I recently Switched back to Kaizen Chocolate after using Only MP Cookies and Cream from 6months and man its got 0-flavor. Its going to end up being used for Protein Pancakes and other foods.

I want to try and do something by next fall. Lots of work to do by then but that'll put me at about 2 years of consistant lifting.

My long term goal is 10-12% bf year round at 200-210 lbs. I haven't checked lately but right now I am about 203 at 17-18%

i'm at 14%

dislocated my shoulder so not much gymtime for me sadly

when for the first time again in 2.5 weeks yesterday and off course i'm sore now

I bought the Peanut Butter Marshmallow, Red Velvet Cake Batter, Molten Chocolate and S'mores

How is the fun fetti cake? I was on the fence about that

It was pretty good. I didn't really taste a difference between it and vanilla. Very similar. However, the little fun fetti peices are crunchy which is kinda fun.

Let me know about the red velvet and s'mores. The s'mores sounds damn good.

I really like te COR Performance stuff too. I've had the fun fetti cake flavor, molten chocolate, cinnamon swirl, peanut butter marshmallow, mint chocolate chip, and the vanilla. All really good.

I did squats today as well. Still doing shortcut to shred (program has various cardio in between sets) which makes it tough to move heavy weight but here is what I did today.

225x5, 235x5, 245x4, and 245x4 again.

Then deads:

275x5, 315x5, and 315x5 again (really happy with these numbers. Raw lifts as well, no straps or belt.)

Finished up with close stance, deep leg press:

500x5, 590x4, and 590x4 again. Then did a drop set of 400x5 and 200 for 10.

Saturday will be leg extension/curl day. I'll do 4 sets of each working from 22-30 reps and finish off with a massive drop set.

Squat day! Worked up to 3 sets of 405, then 3 sets of 365 with a 2sec pause, then hammered out front squats at 250.

More importantly, I switched protein brands today. Cellucor shit was on sale on bb.com so I picked up a few different flavors of their Cor-performance line isolate whatever the fuck they call it. Either way, just had the peanut butter marshmallow one. Fucking good tasting. I'll keep using the other brand stuff to mix in my coffee and oatmeal since it mixes a lot thinner

So I don't know about you guys, but I love watching videos and learning about the older days of body building. Back when guys were't nearly as huge as people today.

Came across this interview of Tom Platz:



Thought it was pretty cool. Ended up reading a bunch of stuff about him the other night and watching some old workout videos he did. Guy was crazy, if you've ever heard of Tom Platz I'm sure it was in regards to his legs. He had some of the best wheels of all time. I think his best Olympia finish was 3rd but he's a champ in my eyes from learning about what he used to do to grow his legs.

There is a video of him squatting 525 for 23 reps on youtube and I've read he once squatted 225 straight for 10 minutes. In Arnold's book he says Tom Platz used to literally squat for 2 hours and then ride 20 miles on a bike. He trained with crazy weights and volume and went to failure on pretty much all of his sets.

Just thought it was cool and figured I'd share.
