Test Charge still waiting gonna give this one a few more days...strength is on the up did bump my calories a bit. More protein has been added and upped my fat intake. hunger up a tad bit still going to wait to call anything on this yet.

First night of taking it sleep was off but it's back to normal now!

Arms, Chest and legs all three were great workouts starting to get my groove really going! I was asked to compete in the summer but not going to do it! I will start working on losing more body fat but right now trying to get some size from this strength increase I feel coming on!



Breaking my leg workout into 2 sessions was a great idea the legs are getting hammered without just killing myself leg pressing to work on the lower part of my legs....upper foot placement on the leg press to stress the hams a little more then a nice full ATG squat on the smith machine to make it all good!(light nothing over 135 for feeling)



Leg extensions lying seated leg curls warm up!

Tempo time under tension whatevers clever all I know is if smoke could be seen coming from my legs this would have done it!

10:5:10, 10:10 5:5:5 between the tempo stuff I would do normal reps intensity comes in all shapes and sizes...always strive to increase your intensity stop going through the freakin motions!

yes sir they both effect differently with the goal being added size and gym performance!!!!

[Bigmix]

Okay so suddenly I'm feeling the Test Charge...hormonal changes happen through increased oily faces...acne and mood changes! The last 2 days mood has been closer to the aggravated side skin is a little oily and recovery has increased.

Mood for me is the one thing I have working for me I'm pretty laid back slow to really let things bother me instead I remove myself from situations as I can see it well up in me. Yesterday was my off day and needless to say I stayed away from my wife cause I could feel an argument brewing!

1-Strength/Rep: Feeling solid strong a week in and bam it's here!
2-Sustained Workout Energy: Feeling the effects of both Test Charge and Karbolyn!
3-Focus Enhancement: Focus in with a clear feeling with whats happening now planning on utilizing this strength increase for better gym production.
4-Pumps : pumps have been great should notice increased pumps going forward!!!strength increase fatigue not an issue...more volume shorter rest periods better pumps.
5-Side Effects: Some oily skin mood changing nothing bad all in check!
6-Taste: Love the taste got a little like ginger...cinnamon.
7-Overall assessment: A week in and it's time to do work I'm finally feeling this kick in big time!

Okay I have tried a lot of natural supplements Test boosters are hit and miss I look for the subtle changes mood oily skin acne for hormonal changes so far this is hitting those changes.

Three weeks to go!

[cheftepesh]

Nice log so far. In to see the gains.

[Bigmix]

okay like I said before it's the subtle things you have to look for when you use anything a lot of people base products around things like a caffeine buzz...some products aren't as immediate and need time in your system. About a week in and things are starting to get better.

Strength manifest itself in higher reps, time under tension, rest pause and endurance! I am starting to see these improve!

Like the assessment. Now lets see some gains.

strength is coming back and feeling comfortable again these numbers aren't new but when the body gets out of whack the strength suffers...getting back though. Feeling strong a certain confidence for sure I'm in control of all the weight I'm handling now! Tempo work even on leg day!

Thanks.B

I try and put 100% into anything I do as I appreciate all opportunitys given to me!!!!!!

[Bigmix]

Strength off a little yesterday but that has more to do with my low carbing for about 2 days strength still feels solid and recovery is clicking!

Sleep is hit or miss but that has more to do with the huge carb intake in the evenings(night sweats) so all is good.

Yesterday was a nice workout this time no BCAA's just the Karbolyn and great workout...it was about 60 degrees in Va yesterday and the sweat was pouring! Little rest between sets back workout!

Straight arm pulldowns
60lbs x20
80lbs x20
90lbs x20
100lbs x20

Wide grip pull downs (hold 5sec at botom)
180lbs x12
200lbs x12
220lbs x12
250lbs x12
Close grip pull downs
200lbs x12
220lbs x12
250lbs x12

Deadrows (deadlift+rowing movement pull weight up come back down row back down to deadlft)
135lbs x20
225lbs x12
315lbs x4
275lbs x8 225lbs x8 185lbs x12 135lbs x16 x2

Single arm tbar row
45lb plate x12
2 45lb plates x12
3 45lb plates x8 2 45lb plates x12(hold 5 secs at top) 1 45lb plate x12(hold and squeeze 5 sec)

DB rows (pull to lower stomach feet together)
120lbs x failure
70lbs x failure

Close grip cable standing high row(stretch hand down pull and squeeze just below chest)
80lbs x12
90lbs x12
100lbs x12

My dead row numbers seem off a little but like I said this has everything to do with 30 grams or less carbs for about 2 days...315lb deadrow has been at 8 reps in the past I was looking for at least 12 this week.

So far strength is solid as I'm doing a lot tempo work 5 sec holds so all is good!
