Current Weight around 190

Current supplements

Designer Whey Choc for time being i do like test compared to 100% Opt

Eclipse HBM + Vanadyl XX ... prob wont cont this but was recommended by a big dude in a shop i want to trust.. i took his word for it but will prob never do again.. not compaining about this combo or anything but have yet to find anyone saying o wow nice stack etc..

Currently also taking 1-2 RevXP pills with some meals and preworkout along with starting today 1 bottle trimspa 2-3 pills total daily with meal/preworkout

IM taking these fat burner energy things cuz i have them as you can see i only take 1-2 pills max when recommend dossage is 2-4 pills

I also have one small sample bottle thermogain and small bottle pump tech.. of course i havent paid for any of this.. so no BASHING..

I also have at least 20 servings or more of Glycergrow left from my testing of it several months ago.. it seemed to work then ill try and use it now and hope for the best !


Any supplement brands or reps reading this. Ill try almost anything as a free sample.. i want to remain pretty natural.. but my devil side always wants me not to since ive hit many stag points.. so plz pm me some samples or full products to do a testing log. My only 2 logs done for this was gylcergrow and PR Cinnulin PF found here http://forums.1fast400.com/?act=ST&f=15&t=31017

I think i included everything i wanted to besides diet because thats always an issue.. i dont have access to any heating things during lunch cuz i do construction for the time being so cold foods or eating out always doing my best to get solid meals.. lifeguard on weekends leaves me some decent time to eat but shifts are funky so who knows.. hope you enjoy this log and i hope i can continue to update it !

[nycste]

http://www.youtube.com/v/Ux_MbVgTe28 some deadlifts plz comment on anything you want.. nothing special just something like yate rows but i aint sure only 135x10 i think didnt count and these are old

http://www.youtube.com/v/c8lPYvbICSU
next is a video of me doing 3x315 deadlifts.. im always thinking about my form but of course a video shows you what your doing after the fact.. i have a few ideas how to fix or improve on what i did.. again this is old months-1year old in my old gym

http://www.youtube.com/v/u69XMJZPD6s
third is a video of 405x1 rep deadlift.. form is prob horrible i feel that with both these deadlift videos my back is doing toomuch work.. i could be wrong. i know i get fairly low with my legs so that should be alright but im missing something in my form so im posting these for advice.. thanks

[nycste]

5 caps of pump tech
3 scoops of glycergrow

wide squats 95x10, 135x10x9, 45x12(Front)
-(all squats where done by having to clean and press the bb overhead then squat freely.. since stupid gym has no rack only smith crapola)

cable pull throughts (first time i think) 30x15, 50x15, 80x13, 110x10 (liked these)

back xt rev situp thing 4sets to max last 2 sets using +6 and +12 bars

seated on floor cg cable rows 40x20, 80x20, 140x15, 190x25 (horrible thing to use to easy)

alt db hammers 20x15, 50x10, 60x8, 70x5, 100x3.5 (all half-3/4 reps i think)
-(doing 100s were fun i really wanted to see if i could move em and i did with alittle help from my body)

-superset w/shrugs 50x10, 60x10, 70x8, 100x10, 20xmax

deadlifts form work 135x7x5, then some SLDL didnt write down number

[nycste]

6caps pump tech 1hour + before workout
3scoops GG 30min pre workout
green magnitude + purple wrath w/32oz water half 15-30mins before workout other half of bottle during workout
protein shake +3grams argnine powder + gatorade powder before workout cuz the bottle broke so i had to drink this first before finishing the GM+PW combo

anyways lets get to the workout.. i decided to do crazy short rest go somewhat light and just go as high as i could with reps following my normal westside routine

flat db bench (did like 40pushups waiting for bench which really made my triceps dead)
50x10, 60x10x(10x8x4 30s rest btw sets)

seated db mil presses 25x14x20x14x15 all 30s rest

vbar pushdown 50x30, 70x20x20, 80x20 all 30s rest ouchies these really hurt

rev grip cg bench 95x18x15x8 30s rest, the 105x6+2 (spot +2)

1arm cable rows 60x27, 70x16, 80x15 longer rest like 45s-1min 80x17 2h really slow for squeeze and muscle contraction really hurt

pec flye machine 40x40, 100x10ish x several lost count worried more about control and muscle contraction

calves + shrugs together with dbs 50x20ishx15x15x20ish


-added green mag and purple wrath to my workout.. did i feel diff - not totally
-felt huge and pumped- did short workouts so entire time was super huffing and puffing and triceps were so pumped they just made me walk funny haha
-but i cannot hontestly say i felt any diff nor any super strength found from one day of taking these products
-taste test = 8.5/10 w 32oz water
-mix test = 8.5/10 w 32oz water

-still 2 products i want to use in my daily nutrition suplementation plan thanks for the one day samples CL !

just adding this db row video as a ref to 2 ways of pulling the db

first couple show bringing elbow higher then back

then the rest show a much shorter range of motion just to the side of body

which is correct? is there such a thing as correct? donno this was an off day i did this video at the end of lifeguarding
