Vanwilders Xpand log

vanwilder · 01-04-2006, 06:18 PM

i have been going for a couple days now, but i decided that i would put a lot on it. i love this product and have never felt such great pumps in the gym. the purpose of this log is to see if i get as good gains taking it only 1 time a day instead of 2x a day on workout days. so this log will last roughly about 50 days then i will take 2 weeks off and produce a new creatine log, on either purple k or whatever else i have at the time.

the last time i took xpand was during football. i gained about 4 lbs but that is with working out daily and training for football. i thought i was going to lose weight, but i didnt. i was very happy with the overall strength gains and change in appearance.

i will include my last 2 workouts numbers from this week, and then daily results from here on in.

previous supplement was krush 4 by all max. another creatine product, it was monohydrate. i was also happy with those results, but i did not gain as much as i thought i would. i was happy that i gained minimum water retention. for hte price of the product and the amount of time that it lasts, i would not suggest it to anyone. there are much better products out there for cheaper.

maybe i will try it one day when im not so poor.

vanwilder · 01-04-2006, 07:51 PM

monday was back and bis
deadlifts (first time doing in about a year) 135x8 225x4 275x1 315x1 365x1 i need to work on my form because i scrape the shit out of my knees
lat pds 200x8 212.5x7 goign to start doing pullups instead now i think
barbell rows 235x6 225x6
machine rows 250x12/10
v bar pull downs 225x4 200x6
ezbar 120x6+1/4
curls 57.5x8/7
close barbell curls 95x8/15/7

on the barbell curls i do a different form of curl compared to the normal ones. i bring my arms back, lean a bit forward which takes away the ROM. i find it easier to do with the barbell as it doesnt hurt my wrists

incline bench 195x6/4
bench 235x3 205x6

.

besides the pump and weight loss (L-Argine) i got nothing from it.... the pumps certainly didnt translate into hypertrophy.

vanwilder · 01-05-2006, 12:54 AM

you lsot weight from it?

btw i could not walk after doing the leg extensions today, as they were so pumped lol. i know i sound like a noob with hte pump shit, but getting it jsut drives me insane and makes me want to keep working out. it really has a positive affect on the mental part of my lifting.

vanwilder · 01-06-2006, 03:18 AM

didnt get the normal sexual pump i usually get, but i took it right before hte workout which is why i thinkg.

vanwilder · 01-15-2006, 04:36 AM

forgot teh xpand today, took arginine (akg2) good workout, not that pumped or aynthing. took liquid amped, nothing happened...

**NYCmitch25** · 01-15-2006, 02:28 PM

your doing welll...!!!! do you think the Epand is playing a role. I didnt cycle it I just took it everyday for months. That may have contributed to its dimiished results.

vanwilder · 01-15-2006, 02:57 PM

well i can put it this way because it can contribute to a lot of factors

weight gained = 0, maybe ive even lost a pound or 2
muscle gained = fast muscle gaining, and i am losing a lot of fat
mentally it plays a huge role i find, i feel great when i workout and want to continue because of the pump
strength i think it has helped, but at this point, i jut changed my routine and since then i have been using creatine. i dont think it would help as much as one would think. as well, i dont take it 2x a day which mihgt not be a good idea. but till this point, i am happy, except with the taste. :P

I thought the grape (especially) and i think fruit punch tasted good? The cherry whatever was nasty. I dumped a scoop into PWO gatorade all diff. flavors and it masked any bad taste.
