SUPPLEMENT FACTS
FOREWORD
First of all I would like to personally thank 5Six and and Controlled Labs for giving me the opportunity to test this exciting new intraworkout product. I just finished a full two bottle cycle of the natural test booster Thrust by Magnum Nutraceuticals and as a result, I am trying to maintain as much of my gains as possible. I feel as though introducing a more complex intraworkout supplement into my regimen will not only help to maintain gains, but also assist me in my ultimate goal of bulking. It's almost like I'm going from elementary school straight to university by replacing my current intraworkout, Xtend, with the Purple PsyKO. It should compliment my already well-established supplement foundation and even help to add some lean muscle mass on my frame. With that being said, I have extensive experience with intraworkout products, including both Purple Wraath and InTrain, as well as Xtend, and Intrabolic. Therefore, as this log tracks my progress, I hope that it reflects the true potential of this product. I encourage everyone to comment and/or provide feedback on anything in this log, especially anything that might increase the effectiveness of the Purple PsyKO. Finally, I should note that I just started a new program, modeled after Layne Norton's update 2011 power and hypertrophy workout. This should coincide well with the start of the Purple PsyKO and I am hoping to see some noticeable gains in muscle size and strength.
GOALS
With this Purple PsyKO log I will be taking note of...
- Enhanced endurance
- Increased training intensity
- Improved pump
- Enhanced recovery
BACKGROUND
I have always been fascinated by the way in which a supplement can have an effect on one's body and therefore have a vast experience with many different products. Not wanting to turn to the "dark side," I have tried various different intraworkout products in hopes of finding that "edge" to be able to fight through lactic acid buildup during my workout, as well as preserve, and even gain, lean muscle mass. By supplementing with hydrolyzed whey protein and l-leucine, one should experience increased endurance, more intense pumps, and enhanced recovery. With that being said, I have experience and first hand knowledge of other intraworkout supplements to compare to Purple PsyKO. That way I'll be able to tell exactly what this product is capable of!
VITAL STATS
Age: 25
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 195lbs.
Bodyfat: Approximately 12%
Body type: Ecto-meso
DOSAGE
Initial (First Serving ONLY)
To assess your individual tolerance to this product, combine 1 scoop of Purple PsyKO with 10-15 oz of water for a tangy/sweet shake or 20 oz for a refreshing shake, mix with a spoon, and consume it during your workout
Regular Use
Add 1-2 scoops of Purple PsyKO into 10-24 oz of cold water, and consume it during your workout. Make sure to mix the powder with a spoon as shaking it will cause a long lasting foam to appear on the surface of the liquid. For best results, Purple PsyKO should be used in combination with other Controlled Labs products, at least 1-2 gallons of water per day, and a high protein/moderate carbohydrate diet.
CURRENT DIET
I am currently in the midst of a serious bulk and just recently completed 8 weeks of Plyorep's Size & Strength program. Since this required a high amount of calories to maintain a caloric surplus, I am expecting to keep my diet much the same since this program is just as demanding. Right now I'm sitting at 195lbs. with about 12% bodyfat and I would like to eventually get up around 200lbs. by the end of this log. I'm not too worried about gaining a little fat as I have an easy time burning it off when cutting. My macronutrient ratio is always different depending on what day it is, so once this log gets underway I'll post my numbers on a daily basis. I am somewhat carb sensitive so I make sure to carb cycle and eat less on days when I'm not training...this not only helps keep unwanted fat off, it also sets me up to replenish my glycogen levels at the end of the week. The following is a sample of my diet during a training day...
