Assume product will be here maybe tomorrow, so figured to get started with initial posting.

Going to divide this initial post and make it 2. Experience leads me to the fact that if a post is too long, folks tend to lose interest and skim towards the end. So, to avoid that

I will start with my current workout split. It is a 5 day on, 2 off rotational basis. Every muscle therefore gets hit every 6 days. I like this option, seems to offer me adequate rest time, don't feel fatigued as I have my workouts down to what I consider optimal for recouperation for me. Goes like this....

Day 1.....Chest/ABS
Day 2.....Back/Shoulders
Day 3.....Rest
Day 4.....Biceps/Triceps/ABs
Day 5.....Quads/hams/calves
Day 6.....Rest
Day 7.....start cycle over

Now, on my major lifts(compound movements) I choose one for major bodyparts and do either a 5x5 or 4x6. Really fond of the 4x6, I like the 6 rep scheme, allows to me to utilize maximum weights with what I consider optimal reps(bottom end).

Here is an example from today, it was chest/ab day. I am using this workout to set the bar for the product.

Flat db bench.....6x105,6x105,6x105,5x110(knew I was going to make my last set of 6, felt it, so I went up)

Incline db bench.....7x80,6x80,4x85

Decline barbell bench.....10x185,7x225,3x250

Hammer strength wide bench.....10x270

Flat db flies....10x50

All without a spot, db benches from start to finish just me.

Now, one of my major goals I will be looking to accomplish with the aid of this supplement is to up my db bench. Our db's go to 125. I have in the past done 120's on 2 occassions for a couple reps. I would love to hit the end of the rack(125's) just once at least!

Next post...current stats...bodyweight, measurements, diet, current supplements and schedule. I will post a pic of me when I get home in the next post.

And so they begin.

Just got home from work, my package was here.

Will start first thing in the morning, take my first dose pre workout. With or without food? Any difference or any significance to doing either?

Take it with food. Fatty content, carbs.

Just replace the testing product for Superdrol in this read.

Weighed in yesterday after workout at 179 on a crappy scale. Using the same scale all the time, so it will not vary much. Drank a decent amount of water while training, so ~2 lbs. for water. So I am going to say 177. I am 5'7", around 12% bf.

Ok, current diet. Just above maintenance. I am on a lean gain. My up calories slightly with this product. Here for example is yesterday's intake.

Meal 1...1/2c. oatmeal, 5 eggwhites, 1 whole egg, 1 scoop protein, 1/4 cup blueberries

Train

PWO shake 1

PWO shake 2(less simple carbs, 45 -60 min. after the first)

Meal 2....6 oz. ground turkey, 3 oz. spelt pasta, 1 scoop protein,

Between meal snack.....yogurt smoothie, 9 tbsp. eggwhite, low carb ice cream bar

Meal 3....6 oz. lean ground turkey, 1/2 cup beans, 16 crackers(1 serving of wheat thins or whatever)

Betwen meal snack......2 homemade protein cookies(my wife makes for me), yougurt

Meal 4.....6 oz. chicken, 1 cup veggies, (5) Fish oil

Before bed.....6 eggwhite omlette with cup of omlette veggies, 1 slice turkey bacon, 1 slice of whole grain bread with 1 tbsp. natural pb.

This comes out to approximately 2549 calories. 293 gr. of protein, 185 carbs.

This is a bit decieving, as I am on a gain. I keep track of my meals as noted, but I do snack all day on a variety of nuts we keep in the shop. I do not count these, as I just get them as I pass by them. If I was dieting, I would of course count everything. So my total is at least all meals.

Current supplementation is (2) cAMP, (4) Powerfull, (2) Cissus RX(for joints, etc.) all from USP Labs, and CVM extreme creatine by SNS. I plan to keep this same supplement stack while doing this product, this will be an addition. I know pretty much where I stand now, so changes will be easier to note.

Also of note is I use multiple doses of Vit. C, E, B complex, and always do a zinc before bed. E levels can creep up naturally at night. Zinc inhibits the levels of aromatase in the body.

Here is a recent picture of me in September with my wife. Not much different right now. Might be useful to note I am 54 yrs. old.

Started my doseage this morning. Will do exactly as directions say, 3 times per day with meals.

Normally I would have gone to the gym already, but got very little sleep last night. So, I went back to bed for a while, will go later this afternoon when my wife goes.

Will update later. Today will be a back/shoulder day.

Day 1......1/08/06

Well, not much to report on the workout front today. Was very tired as noted in my prior post, maybe 2 hrs. sleep. So, thought at best this would be a day to have one of those "light" workouts.

Did a small back workout, then hit shoulders. Did dumbbell militaries, used only 70's and 75's for 3 sets of 6, and moved on. Did not force anything, any reps, just stopped just before failure.

Probably was the smartest move I could have made, considering the circumstances. Not often I do this, (a light workout )but "listened" to my body today.

Day 2.....1/08/06

Well, today I just followed dosing schedule. Day off from the gym totally. Tomorrow will be an arm/ab day.

 

[Lifterforlife]

Day 3....1/09/06...Monday

Well, today was arms/abs. Not much out of the ordinary, pretty normal workout other than an extraordinary pump.

Really noticing it driving to work, shirt sleeves were nice and tight. Could have been for any reason though. Did 7 total sets for bi's, and 9 total for tri's.

Day 4....1/10/06...Tuesday

Took today off, did just some cardio. Normally would have been a leg day, but trying to give my knees a much needed rest. Have a bit of tendonitis in both of them. They are fine till I put them under some type of load.

Tomorrow I will probably hit chest again with the added day of rest. Feel pretty good right now and feel like it may be a good thing to do. That instinctive training session.

Not too much to report on the supplement tester front, in fact nothing at all. Tomorrow will be day 5, hoping for good things to start soon. I remember even with PH's, like Methyl Dien/Mohn it took 7-10 days to start feeling anything.

So, I am patient.
