You are not lying, I spent massive money and got less results. Well I got less side effects too. I had more labedo with the supps in the long run. If you want to average it all out.

You guys are the bomb. I, like hackskii, save myself for the one big set. I dont want to burn myself out before I reach my one work set. This way I can do more reps with more weight were it really means somthing. After that it is off to my next excercise with saved energy for the one big work set again. For me I want to get stronger. I feel with strength comes size.

I've started training this way in the last few weeks and really feel I'm making progress for the first time in a long while. After a few years of training you do tend to find a plateau and need to try something else. Its been very hard for me to break from traditional volume training because you get fixed in a certain mindset that you have to do 'x' many sets for the workout to be effective/worthwhile. I'm finding 'HIT/abbreviated/whatever you like to call it' training really enjoyable and effective. I did just 3 work sets for biceps the other day - and it was just about the best bicep workout I've ever had - heavy and a great pump.

You are right - strength does come with size. The old adage is true - lift big and get big. That doesn't necessarily mean someone who lifts 110kg will be bigger than someone who lifts 100kg but if someone lifts comparatively heavier for their size and frame than someone else then they are almost always bigger too.

I think there are a lot of very effective supplements out there. I've taken some that have been great and also some that were no help at all. I think you just have to look into it and choose wisely. And where there's a price difference between two similar products its wise to see if you can really justify that difference.

I actually liked V12.
I thought that stuff tasted the best and did notice some strength with that supp but it is kindof pricy.

Silentbob, glad to see that the workouts are going good.
I am supposed to do hamstrings at the gym today but I think I willl pick up 2 months of dog poop in the back yard, this should hit the hams pretty good.

Nice post Silentbob. It is kinda nice knowing that you can go into the gym and not have to train for 2 hours to get results. Imagine if when you go into the gym and almost everytime you go in you are stronger. Now you tell me how hard it would be to get up and go to the gym after that. I love going into the gym. Look forward to it.
