This will be my first log, but I think it should be a pretty good one with the stack I got lined up. After spending all summer figuring out what I was doing and what works/doesn't work, I finally have my everything pretty well down. While trainining correctly and not Overreaching all the time is my weakness this log should address this problem...
Stats
Age: 18
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 175 (I don't have a scale in my dorm but will get an exact weight when I can)
BF: 14% (Just a guess, I'll get picture up as soon as I can)
Body Type: Meso/Endo
Goal: I'm not really bulking (as don't really believe it is benficial until one nears their nature potential) but I am ceratinly trying to gain LBM. The goal of this log is to really see how I can improve my lifting and routine if journal my numbers and keep track of what i'm doing, and to test out a new dosing and a new supplement all together.
Supplements
X-Factor
Dosing:
Weeks 1-3 = 750 mg
Weeks 4-6 = 1000 mg
Weeks 7-9 = 1250 mg
This will be my second time with XF. This time I have 2 bottles of XF and 1 bottle of Hyper H (same as XF in that AA as the only ingredient), and will be trying a different dosing protocal. And comparing to my original experiance with the normal 1000 mg ED dosing.
Restore
3 Caps Per Day
I'm currently about 1 week into my bottle of restore and so far I'm fairly impressed. Theres a good chance I will be getting another bottle to run it for 60 days.
Green Bulge
5 Caps 30-45 minutes PreWO
I was planning on getting anothe tub of Green MAG, but then the CL broken cap sale came along and well... I can't pass up a deal.
Now for the good stuff...
USP DNA
This one is going to take some explaining...
I picked this up a while ago when USP was having a massive clearance. It was never sold publicly and was a fairly small batch to my understanding. The only info I have on it was the limited write up that was on the site when I purchased it. Here is about all I could find.
Day 28-62
2 cap 3 times daily 10 min before meals
This seems like strange dosing protocal, but its what was recommended by USP at the time of purchase. I have 2 bottles and will be running them back to back starting on the 4th week. Between this and the XF with a twist on the dosing, I'm excited to see how this works out.
Other Supplements
Everyday:
2 Servings Now EcoGreen (4 Vcaps = 2 tabs)
4-5 g Vit C Total
4 Calcium Citrate
4 Saw Palmetto 450 mg each (Had around so I started taking with the Restore)
WO:
2.5-4 scoops Excell (depending on intensity/volume)
10 g Glutamine Peptides
1 g Vit C
1-2 Camphibolic Intense 20-30 min Pre (similar to the orignal but with Velvet Bean Extract and some added kick for PreWO, picked up 2 bottle at the same time as the DNA)
There is also a good chance I'll pull out the 3rd of three tubs of NO Shotgun I have been saving/waiting to use. I love that stuff but it's damn expensive.
PWO:
30-40 g WPH High Grade
40-50 g Dext/Malto (Depending on Intsity/Muscle Group worked)
Split into 2 shakes, the first one taken during the last few sets/cool down. the second 10-15 minutes after finsihing the first. This one of the most important changes I ever made to my routine, to simply tpaer my PWO shake instead of just gulping it down in one hit.
With the First Shake:
10 g Leucine
5 g Creatine Mono.
With the Second:
600 mg Chromium Picolinate
3 Primaforce NO Oxidant
10 g Gluta Peptides
1 g Vit c
Occastional:
Melatonin 5-10 mg (when I'm to hyped to sleep)
Synergy EC (If I need a boost)
Pinnalce BoozEaze (goes along with the EC, I am in College... and from Wisconsin, so drinking does happen every once and a while )
Diet
I learned early on that bulking is diffenently not for me, as I put on fat way to fast. I've been doing a carb cycling diet since early July and so far it is working very well, recently I started to incorporate Carb Timing into my diet and the resluts have been outstanding.For the duration of this log I will be continuing my carb cycling/timing diet. I will be upping my cal a little bit to try to increase LBM gain while still keeping fat gain minimal or even reducing BF.
High = 320/300/60
Low = 320/200/80
No = 320/50/110
Training
I'll be starting a new training routine for this log, which I'm equally as interested in the results of as I am the new supplements. I recently became very interested in the P/RR/S training principles, created by Eric Broser, after first reading about them in Des' MAN log. Since then I've been playing around with some of the ideas and cycling my workouts. For right now I'n going to be focusing on the Power and Rep Range weeks and not doing Shock week. I will be throwing a few Shock days in along the way as well as doing some Supersets and Partials after I get the new routine work though.
For Power week I will focus on the main compound lifts doing a 4 day split.
Day 1 OFF
Day 2 Squat
Day 3 Shoulder/Military
Day 4 OFF
Day 5 OFF (Might get removed)
Day 6 Deads/Rows
Day 7 Bench
For Rep Range I will be doing a lot more variations and isolation lifts and focusing almost exclusivly on hit the target muscle and using perfect form.
Day 1 OFF
Day 2 Legs/Abs
Day 3 Shoulders/Traps
Day 4 Arms/Grip
Day 5 OFF
Day 6 Back/Lats/Abs
Day 7 Chest/Arms/Grip
Power week will be in the 5-7 rep range with 3-4 sets per exercise and RR week will be a lot more sparatic with ranges from 8-20. I will be deviating from the principle in the fact that I wont be doing Shock week and instead incorporating Shock Days and the occassional shock in my routine, also on Power week I will be finishing each WO with 2-3 sets of high rep range body weight only exercises. Taking an extra day off during power week should help me from overreaching to far and the nature of cycling rep range and volume should help me a lot.
