How'd the Protein Pump Experiment go?
The results of my back off week experiment with the Protein Pump.
It's quite effective for hypertrophy without a doubt.
I knew there wouldn't be any strength or power gains, as it's designed simply for muscle hypertrophy, and it worked very well for that.
My Chest, Biceps and Triceps are much fuller and noticeably larger after the week of pumping.
Very impressed indeed.
And now it's time to go to brutal training!!

Honoring the negleted arts
And, taking some time to honor some of the more neglected areas of martial arts and self-protection: Realistic tactical training in the offensive use of and the defense against firearms, blades, blunt weapons and improvised weapons.
Taking some time to honor some more of the arts
Taking another moment to honor the martial arts, specifically the Grappling arts that I've spent 30 plus years working hard on becoming proficient in including various forms of Sambo, Judo, Jujitsu, Catch Wrestling and Aikido. Also, a huge shout out to Melissa for taking the falls, twists, cranks, chokes and nerve attacks during these pictures. You're awesome angel!

Having some fun in the garage
Having some fun farting around in the garage with a Front Double Biceps Pose and a Side Chest Pose
Honoring some of the arts I've studied
I've had the honor and privilege of being involved in the martial arts and self-protection for over 30 years now. So, I thought I'd take a moment to honor a few of the traditional striking and weapons arts that I've had the privilege of training hard in. Various methods of Karate, Kung Fu, Kempo, Kenpo, Tea Kwon Do, Eskrima, Arnis and Kobudo.

A special message
It's amazing how often I hear people say things about how they wished they looked like so and so, or were in the shape of this or that person, or had the strength of someone in particular, or that they wished they could drop the fat or gain the muscle. I'll even hear people talk about how much they'd give to have a certain person's body for a day. Instead of wishing, hoping and dreaming, I much prefer to take action and make those dreams a reality. I don't have a "dream body" I have a goal that I I'm going to attain!!
