The Workout - Chest & Back
This was my first workout on the MusclePharm Get Swole program and it was a great workout. I seldom work up in the 12-rep range, so to super set exercises in this range really was new to me. I did take it a little easy on the incline db presses and flies as those usually aggravate my rotator cuff, plus doing a new workout I was not sure how my body would fatigue. I also was sure to log my weight/reps in my workout log so next week when I perform this workout again I will have a record of what I did and attempt to destroy my previous week. I started out pretty strong on the wide-grip pullups, but soon found myself getting under 10 reps which kind of ticked me off, but I had to roll with it. Also, since I work out in my basement, I had to substitute seated rows with bent-over barbell rows.
Nutrition
I followed the GET SWOLE nutrition plan exactly as it was laid out. I ate all the meals and followed the supplement regimen. I actually had a difficult time eating all of the food which is weird for me. I would guess it was due to the fact that the three eggs for breakfast and heavy whipping cream in the protein shakes set me up with a healthy dose of fats and kept my appetite at bay. I did however notice a little gut wrenching due to the change in diet. Jumping right into a high protein diet like this when my previous diet was not entirely clean usually does this to me along with giving me some nasty ass-hurricanes. Overall though I was pretty pleased with the nutrition and not fighting hunger all day long will actually make it easier to stick on this plan.
