OBSERVATIONS

Good workout, even though I forgot to bring my program. I still remembered which exercises to do, and in what order. I tried doing some close-grip bench for my triceps, which WAS on the program, but my shoulder doesn't like that. It seems more prone to pain since my failed attempt at 245 a couple weeks back. So I did skull crushers and slo-mo reverse cable extensions.

OBSERVATIONS

Good workout. Weight increases on most exercises.

Mood: Quite normal, but I do seem to have a shorter fuse, a bit. Nothing like tren or even a good dose of testosterone, but a slight bit more aggressiveness.

Energy: well it does seem that my adrenal glands are completely burnt out. When my broken bones were mending back in the summer, I was always feeling extremely lethargic. I was told that it was normal that I would feel tired, but I had been injured before and this had nothing to do with it. And it kept on keeping on. At first I blamed my low testosterone levels but it did not add up. So that's where I am. I sleep 12h a night, and sometimes have to nap during the day but I don't think that has anything to do with the stack. Good thing I work from home.

OBSERVATIONS

Very strong workout. As a matter of fact, I set a personal record with the skull crushers. I had never used 110 and I did 5 good controlled deeeeeep reps as I always do everything that way. I reorganized my triceps training around the limitations of my shoulder. Biceps were not particularly strong, only repeating the usual weights and reps. Diet was again sloppy but I expect to get more protein today so it should improve markedly now.

OBSERVATIONS

Uh... 230lbs??? :blink: I had noticed that I look bigger. Wider, more massive, not fatter at all, if anything I have lost a bit of fat since the middle of this log. This stuff feels like nothing at all but it does the job. Most compound exercises were 10lbs heavier than last time, too. And it was kinda easy. My endurance is not very good but strength and mass are doing very well. Day 29 is also going to be an unscheduled rest day. I'm feeling very lethargic over the last few days.

OBSERVATIONS

I did the skull crushers again. My shoulder is limiting the exercises I can do, so I get to hit some particular ones more than I would prefer but it's all I can do. I repeated my personal bests of last time and then some. Every exercise was better than last go around.

I will take pictures tomorrow as well as measurements in the morning. I will also report on strength gains. Pictures will not show up tomorrow though, because my digital camera is broken so I have to take them with a disposable camera and get the pics developed and scanned. Or maybe get a basic digital and use that, we'll see.

**Grunt76** · 01-27-2007, 09:29 PM

STRENGTH CHANGES

My training is on a double 5-day split, which I usually perform on a 2 days on/1 day off schedule. For this reason, the strength changes are all over a 2-week span, and NOT 4 weeks, sadly. But since I will be continuing this test over 4 more weeks, there will be plenty of time to correctly assess changes.

Because my training has sets that are of 8, 5, and 3 reps, I calculated the difference between one time and the next for all 3 sets, then averaged this number.

Cable Tricep Extension +10.00
Upright Rowing +5.00
Dumbell Rowing +10.00
EZ Bar curl +10.00
Barbell Military Press Smith +10.00
Skull Crusher +15.00
*Leg Press -30.00

*I have performed only two leg workouts during this test. I had a leg day just before beginning and my next training day will be legs. My last leg day happened to be pretty awful, as I had not eaten in many hours. I do not feel that I have lost strength there.

MEASUREMENT CHANGES

Well, I was saying that I think I look bigger and didn't gain much fat or perhaps lost a little bit. The measurements confirm this. Sadly, it will be a few days until I have my pictures since they were taken with a disposable camera and will need to be developed. My digital has died. So anyways here are my measurement changes and graph:

. . . . . . . . . . . . 12/28/2006 . . 1/26/2007 . . Change
Bodyweight . . . . . . 217.0 . . . . . 228.0 . . . . +11.00
forearm . . . . . . . . . 14.25 . . . . . 14.75 . . . . +0.50

bellybutton . . . . . .. 37.50 . . . . . 37.00 . . . . -0.50

CONCLUSIONS

Over the course of the last month, thanks to the Evolution stack, I have seen my bodyweight go up, my body composition improving, my strength increase and my muscle mass undeniably increase significantly. As a matter of fact, a lean gain of 11lbs in a month is downright a GREAT gain, especially for a natural product.

I must attribute part of these gains to muscle memory though. How much, that remains the question, but I must admit that I was unable to see any gains at all just before starting this stack so obviously it does something right. The product doesn't feel like anything, so if you are taking this as a steroid alternative you might get a bit disappointed. Not with the size and strength that you gain, which are very good, but with the inexistant aggressiveness boost or endurance emprovement. If anything I have lost some of these last two during this last month. Other factors may be involved though, as I have been experiencing some health problems that began before I received these supplements in case you were wondering. I didn't think they would affect my performance with these products but in retrospect I feel it is possible that they may have.

I feel that this stack is great for those who need to stay natural and also - let us not forget - for PCT when EVERYONE is natural. I give the evolution stack an 8/10, which is excellent in my book. If endurance were improved as much as mass and strength, it would be a 10.
