CAMPAIGN LAYS THE FOUNDATION WITH
CONTROLLED LABS ORANGE OXIMEGA
DAY 14
BLACKOUT!!!
Like usual, my macros...
I felt as though I had reached a mini plateau in terms of my arm development so I decided to switch up my workout in order to shock the muscles into some new growth. I used Craig Ballantyne's Underground Bodybuilding Science of Arm Training protocol. See the link below for more information if interested.

Notes
Well I had the day off from work today so I got to take my time to prepare for my workout. I also took the time to clean out my car and enjoy the nice weather as it was 22 degrees celsius. I feel as though this both relaxed and invigorated me as will be noted in this log entry. Since I had lots of time to rest today, I tried to make sure that my diet was spot on and I was eating every 2-3 hours. I continue to mix the last bit of my InTrain with my new Wraath and I'm loving the taste, you're really getting the best of both worlds and can taste the flavor of each individually.
Overall Wellness
I had a pretty solid sleep last night and I got to sleep in this morning, so naturally I felt really good upon waking. I didn't have any brain fog or grogginess and I was able to start about my daily activities almost immediately. After taking the first dose of the OxiMega I didn't physically feel much but I do suspect that it contributed to the overall positive feeling that I had all day. I consumed about a gallon and a half of water today so I think I was well hydrated which definitely played a role in me having a strong workout.
Healthy Cardiovascular Function
I felt as though my breathing and lung capacity was very positive today. I took a couple deeps breaths during my workout today to put them to the test and it felt really good with no obstruction or pain. I also haven't had any problems with congestion since the early stages of this log and my phlegm problem has finally seemed to work itself out. I did feel a little bloated after my workout which caused a slight increase in heartbeat, but nothing out of the ordinary for my postworkout meal.
Enhanced Mental and Cognitive Focus
Because of the strong sleep I got last night I woke up with my head feeling quite clear and focused on the events of the day. The OxiMega further enhanced this mental clarity which not only helped me have an effective workout but also to carry out the other things I had to do today in an efficient manner. I did the crossword again today and I managed to get about 90% of the answers filled in. This is pretty standard for me and the answers came ti be quite easily for the most part. During my workout the White Flood did its thing like usual, but I did feel as though I wasn't as focused as I could have been...to be honest, during one of my sets I actually forgot to keep track of the proper tempo i.e., 5:1:1. I'll get this fixed tomorrow.
Pump
The pump that I got was pretty solid today, although not the best of this log to date. I think that this is due to the fact that I was trying out a new workout and focused on executing the exercises with proper form as opposed to going really heavy. The Zottman curls for example was a new exercise that I've never done before, but they are awesome for working the overall arm! However, like yesterday, I lost this pump while I was working abs in that my arms were sore but did not feel as full as they did during my workout. This isn't to say that I didn't work them hard, because I definitely still felt like they were bigger and more vascular than when I started.
Ease of Digestibility
Everything is in check with the plumbing today despite making sure that I eat a lot of food to balance out the sitting around that I was doing on my day off. One thing that I should note is that I had one of those days where I swallow a capsule and it gets stuck in my throat. This usually happens to me about once a month, for whatever reason, and during my lunch time dose I could feel the Orange Triad get stuck at the bottom of my throat. It wasn't painful or nauseating at all, I just needed a couple swigs of my protein shake to get it down.
Increased Energy
My energy levels were really high today due to the fact that I did not have to work today. The rest that I had both last night and during the day today recharged me to have a huge workout and once I got the White Flood in me I felt that surge of energy to just absolutely destroy the weights. I didn't really notice much of the steady sustained energy that the OxiMega usually gives me; as the energy I had during my workout was the most noticeable today. After I was finished in the gym I wasn't fatigued at all and actually felt really refreshed from my arms workout. It's nice to drive home struggling to turn the wheel lulz.
Comments
Overall a really decent arms day today. I would probably have to say that it was the second best arms workout of this log but still just as effective. As I was getting changed after my workout I could hear these younger kids talking about their preworkout drinks and one kid insisted to the other that he had to try his. They marveled over the smell as the kids talked about how awesome this supplement was. When one of them finally asked what it was this magical supplement was revealed to be...DAT DERE CELL TECH Son, I am disappoint.
What's Ahead in Day 15?
Tomorrow I think I'll be working some back. I haven't decided yet if I want to do deadlifts as well or save them for my extra day on Saturday. We'll see how I feel after work...but I'm sure the OxiMega will have something to say about that haha.
And I leave you with some Controlled Labs motivation, thanks Kane (no homo).
TRAIN INSANE!!!
