E V O L U T I O N: Grunt becomes ... What???

**Grunt76** · 12-29-2006, 02:36 AM

I have been chosen by ALRI to test some products. I'm figuring it's OK to put up on this board.

Shall I bore you with the full length product descriptions that you probably have read if you have any interest at all in such products? Nay, I shan't, except for Bad Ass Mass, which is new. Instead, I will provide pretty pictures, they are always nice to look at, and LINKS to the product descriptions for the few who haven't read them yet.

This log will be easy to read, with all of the required information, and no extra detail that does nothing. In that spirit, I will provide daily calories expended and consumed, with macronutrient breakdown, but not a complete list of all meals. My FitDay journal, for those who want further information, will remain available.

- 39 years old, 16 years in training, natural genetic potential maxed.
- Recently fairly severely injured, both forearms broken and a shoulder more or less wrecked
- The shoulder will require surgery before it is better than the 25% it is now
- I have untreated low testosterone that I should get a prescription for pretty soon
- For the reason above, getting back in shape has been dreadfully difficult
- Diet has been so-so, high quality and nutritious foods in fairly large amounts and no macronutrient monitoring
- The diet will come under direct management during this sponsored test

Well I had been eating most of the day as planned being a day out of the gym, but being that the supplements showed up, I decided to make it a training day, started eating all kinds of things and ended up there. Oh well. Tomorrow my macros will look better.

OBSERVATIONS

Decent workout considering the knee pain and that I was a bit rushed for time, since I had a chicken in the oven.

How the hell did you break both of your forearms? That must have sucked ass.

About the log: I've heard only great things about JW, but the other two are new to me. I'll keep an eye on this for sure. Good luck.

Bicycle fall. And yes it sucked big time, plaster to almost my fingertips...

OBSERVATIONS

This morning I experienced some unusual perkiness "down there". Interesting.

Also, appetite seems increased but it's hard to tell because I normally feel like I am starving myself any time I eat maintenance.

**madman911** · 12-29-2006, 08:17 PM

Nice log, bro. I'm testing this stack too and my log will be started soon, hopefully before the new year. I was going to get it started today, but I'm sick....

**DarkFalcon** · 12-29-2006, 08:23 PM

OBSERVATIONS

The only observation I have is that my appetite is utterly out of control. Hopefully this stack is going to produce some major anabolism because look at that, I exceeded my calorie expendituree by 1,500 and that is by making an effort to not eat more. I'm still hungry, and I guess I'm going to bed hungry.

CALORIES

Expended: 3,351
Consumed: 4,070
Macronutrient breakdown: 25% protein (259g), 37% carbs, 38% fat

OBSERVATIONS

Unexpected strength in the gym. Interestingly, endurance seems not at all improved. On my first set of every exercise, I found that I could not do any more reps than usual, but as the weight increased, I was able to do more reps than usual and even use more weight. This is a very good sign, considering that I am only 5 days into this stack. If things keep on this tack, I will be very satisfied.

I was unable to exert full control over my diet and even though I had thought that I must have eaten much less than maintenance, after adding it all up, I am about 700 calories above maintenance. :blink:

Rest day. I have been helping my best friend prepare her new place, so I was semi active today. Tomorrow I help her move, which is fine, since the gym is closed again, so it will replace working out.

**Grunt76** · 01-04-2007, 04:21 AM

I helped my best friend move in with me. It was fun wrestling a 300lb+ fridge down a 25' outdoor flight of stairs. So I call it a workout.

OBSERVATIONS

Look! I got plenty of protein!! My appetite is totally off the hook. I am restraining myself.

Strength was difficult to assess since my shoulder prevents me from going heavy on chest. Tomorrow is legs day so that will be a good assessment of where I am going with my strength.

Libido is noticeably increased.
