last night i bumped up my max chest press and did 2 reps @ 205lbs, and then pulled out 2, 8-rep sets @ 185. i’ve been making some strong chest/back increases in the last month or so. i had kinda been in a plateau situation for the last few months, but recently i’ve started doing core workouts with takako every other day, i’ve been keeping a log book of my workouts so i know exactly how much i can do, and taka’s been making me 2 shakes a day. i also switched from champion pure whey protein, to EAS max milk which is a full recovery shake:

ingredients:
Whey Protein Concentrate
Whey Protein Isolate
Calcium & Sodium Caseinates
Micellar Casein
Colostrum
Glutamine Peptides
Taurine
Lipid Blend
Dairy Lipids
Sunflower Oil
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs)
Coconut Oil
L-Carnitine
Mono and Diglycerides
Creatine Potentiator Blend
Creatine Monohydrate
Betaine
Arginine
Methionine
Boron

… i bet it’s the colostrom or boron that’s making the difference :)
