    Day 5 - Diet

    So I'm slowing increasing my calories, and I'm realizing that getting more carbs in my diet is becoming a real pain ... still averaging around the 33/33/33 for my macros which isn't ideal for me, but I'll keep working on it



    Got a really good sleep .... WB and melatonin are really paying off for me .... dreams are becoming a bit more vivid .... make sure to have water by the bed because when I wake up I'm really thirsty ... read that others have experienced this too from taking WB at night

      Day 6 - Training

      Great workout today ... weighed in at 193.8lbs - up 0.2lbs from yesterday ... again I'll mention that there was a lot of sweating ... strength was good ... felt a great pump in my quads after doing squats ... never felt that before, thought it was pretty cool

      Green MAGnitude is certainly having a positive effect on my workouts

      Triceps / Quads

      Weighted Dips
      bodyweight x 10
      +45 x 8
      +55 x 8 (up 10lbs and 2 reps)
      +55 x 6

      Pushdowns
      100 x 10 (felt a little pull in my right tricep so dropped the weight a bit)
      80 x 8
      80 x 6
      90 x 6

      Bench Dips
      +45 x 10
      +80 x 10 (new PR)
      +80 x 10

      BB Squats (didn't go too heavy on these this week)
      185 x 10
      195 x 8
      205 x 6
      215 x 6

      Seated Leg Extensions
      110 x 10
      115 x 10
      115 x 10

      BB Lunges
      (took longer breaks during squats and was short on time ... didn't get to these today, but the quads still got a lot of good stimulation)

          thanks, asianbabe

          going for 35/45/20 P/C/F ... I've just been feeling so full lately that I literally want to puke when I try to eat more .... instead of my usual protein shake, I brought in a cup of raw oats ... will just add water maul that junk for my meal later in the day ... maybe add a handful of almonds...


          yeah, the GM is really having a big effect .... can't wait to see what happens in a few weeks when I start adding GB post workout in place of bulk cee

                    Day 6 - Diet

                    I was in meetings all day at work and barely had time to grab meals in between today ... so I ate like a maniac when I got back from grocery shopping ... macro breakdown didn't change much, but hoping tomorrow will be better as most of the office and our clients are out of town for early vacation ... off to bed after posting this

                      yea pu is telling people gb post and gm pre..pssht.. i think hes been in the black hole too much.. possibly the beta batches werent fully non-psychadelic?!


                      green bulge - HyperCre Complex: 3450mg
                      Magnesium creatine chelate, creatine ethyl ester hcl, betaine anhydrous, taurine ethyl ester di-HCI, arginine ethyl ester di-hci, glycocyamine, k-rala, 4-hydroxyisoleucine (20%)

                      green mag -
                      Magnesium Creatine Chelate 2500mg
                      Dicreatine Malate 2500mg
                      Betaine Anhydrous 2000mg
                      L-Taurine 2000mg
                      L-Tyrosine 500mg


                      i was going to compare creatine amounts..but GB has the complex formula..

                      im guessing GB has more creatine per serving though?! which is why i would take it pre.. not much logic behind that really tho.. lol

                        Day 7 - Training

                        Another great night of sleep and another great workout this morning ... I'm going up in weight or number of reps on just about every exercise each day ... weighed in at 193.2lbs this morning (down 0.6 lbs from yesterday) ... not sure if it's because I ate a few hundred less calories yesterday (by accident), but I certainly need to get my diet in check to get the full benefits out of using Green MAGnitude ... so, on to today's numbers


                        Back / Hams/ Grip

                        Pullups
                        bodyweight x 10 (up 1 rep)
                        bodyweight x 5 (down 1 rep)
                        bodyweight x 4
                        bodyweight x 5 (up 2 reps)

                        Underhand Lat Pulldowns
                        100 x 8
                        110 x 8 (up 10lbs)
                        115 x 9 (up 10lbs and 1 rep)

                        Bench DB Rows
                        65's x 10
                        70's x 8
                        75's x 6
                        80's x 6
                        (up 5lbs on every set)

                        T-bar Rows
                        80 x 10 (up 35lbs)
                        90 x 8 (up 20lbs)
                        95 x 8 (up 15lbs)
                        100 x 9 (up 10lbs and 1 rep)

                        SLDL's
                        3 x 10 x 110

                        Seated Leg Curls
                        110 x 10
                        110 x 8
                        110 x 7

                        Grip Work
                        3 x 15 + 10sec hold x Captains of Crush Gripper (Sport = ~ 60lbs)

                        here's a link to my last Back/Ham/Grip day if anyone wants to compare progress: http://www.controlledlabsforum.com/s...2&postcount=19

                        I'm still feeling really pumped after each workout ... even noticed my lats feeling fuller and looking that way when I did dbl bicep pose in the mirror ... strength is going up ... vascularity is about the same, but it's probably because of the extra fat I'm carrying and it's hard for my veins to "pop"

                        I'd give this morning's workout a solid 10/10

                              Days 8 & 9

                              These were off days for me since I was out of town visiting parents. Tried to keep the diet in check as much as possible, and got a little cardio in with all of the swimming and games at the pool. Nice dark tan is coming in too.

                              Not sure what the exact recommended dosage for off days is, but I took 1/2 scoop first thing in the morning on both days.

                                Day 10

                                I did a shotty job of tracking my diet yesterday, so I'm not going to even bother with reporting on my nutrition. Had a cookout with some friends later in the day which probably blew it all to hell anyway in terms of too many calories, but I mostly ate sirloin burgers on a wheat bun instead of all the chips and dip that everyone brought over.

                                Was still able to make it to the gym, and took my full dose of Green MAGnitude. Vascularity is way up and I'm still looking full. I feel stronger every time I go to the gym, and I'm pushing the numbers up on nearly every lift. This will be a new staple in my supplementation.

                                Chest / Calves

                                Incline DB Press
                                55's x 10
                                60's x 8
                                65's x 6
                                70's x 6

                                Flat DB Press
                                80's x 8
                                85's x 7
                                85's x 6
                                (This was huge for me since I've never been able to do more than one set with 85's before feeling completely exhausted.)

                                Incline DB Flyes
                                3 x 10 x 40's (up 5lbs)

                                Standing Calf Raises
                                Dropsets 3 x 15 x 180/120/60
                                (calves are killing me again today ... might be the last time I do dropsets for a while)

                                I give this workout a 10/10 ... mostly because I want jd to grace my log with another post about how I shouldn't
