Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 4  |  Gettin SymmetricaL( USPlabs Symmetry log) Hey guys... This will be a log on USPlabs Symmetry I just received my Symmetry from the first wave that USPlabs has given out. I won't be introducing any new supplements(even though I just received powerFULL and am PSYCHED to try it!), so that Symmetry can be better judged. I will be taking 2 pills with breakfast and 4 before my workout(unless told otherwise). I will also be using: 5 Nxcare Anavol Preworkout 2.5 g HP CEE post workout 2 Cissus Rx before breakfast, 2 Preworkout, 2 post workout 1 Multi morning, 1 multi before dinner 1 glucosamine before breakfast, 1 postworkout On off days I will be taking 2X2 cissus, 2X2.5g HP CEE, 6 symmetry throughout the day Here are my current measurements: Im currently 18, 6'1, 207 lbs, 15% bf (cold) arms- 15" calfs- 16" waist- 35" legs- 24" neck- 16.5" chest- 44" Max bench: 255 Max squat: 280 I will post pictures along the way... first ones I will take tonight. My daily calorie intake is about 3500 Cals and protein intake a little above 200 g. I may raise these a bit during this log .... In this log I will mainly be posting results Im seeing from Symmetry as well as Cissus Rx. I have had some elbow pain since this summer and have been taking Cissus Rx for 20 days now. It has REALLY helped so far but I still have a little ways to go. Ill be posting daily. :boink1: |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 4 | Wednesday 2/27/06 WORKOUT BB bench press 135X12(warmup) 205X6 205X6 225X5 235X2 Incline DB press 75X8 75X8 80X6 85X5 Dips 45X6 10 10 Diet- > 3500 cals, ~200g protein, ~350 carbs PB sandwichs made up 3 of my snack meals today ! i was really liking the PB today haha COMMENTS- Well, today was obviously my first day using Symmetry. I didn't really notice much, nor was I expecting to. I did however jump up 5 lbs in my incline db press. I had never done 85's before and I got almost the same reps as on the 80's! Good gym day. Im sure by the end of the week this stuff will start kickin in. SIDE NOTE- Im so tempted to add powerFULL to this cycle because I just got it in the mail and am really excited! But I havent used powerFULL yet, so I dont think it would do justice to the log to start that as well. I want to know how well Symmetry works ALONE, so that I know where it stands in with my other supps. -Tomorrows my gf's bday so I may not be able to hit the gym. Hopefully I can go at like 8pm or something if I don't have too much work! |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 4 | Wednesday 3/1/06 Woohoo 4 more weeks of classes till summer!!!! I was pretty tired today, I think its because of the melatonin I took, becaue I had to wake up early, so I was still half asleep for most of the morning. :eat: My diet kicked A** today! Dinner: 2 whole wheat roles 2 steak burgers some onion 1 1/2cup lettuce 2 cups pasta w/ cottage cheese 16 oz milk Everyyy meal was huge like that! Weight:205 :weight_li WORKOUT-Day 1 shoulders DB military press 60X12 warmup 65X10 70X8 70X8 75X5 80X2 BB military press 135X10 135X10 Superset bb front raises and db side raises frnt-50X10 side-25X8 frnt-50X10 side-25X8 frnt-40X10 side-25X6 frnt-40X8 side-20X8 Reverse peck deck 140X15 160X10 160X8 COMMENTS: Workout was pretty good today. I played BBall for like a half hour before though so I was kinda pooped already for my workout. Never the less I pulled through! I have been SOOO hungry over the past few days, dono if thats from the symmetry or not, but we'll give it time and see. Getting through my workouts isn't to difficult, maybe a little easier than usual, but too early to judge. I had a CRAZY burning feeling in my shoulders during the superset... more than usual, i liked it though,it made me feel like my shoulders wud be like an inch bigger tomorrow! haha (i wish!). Nothing else noticed besides the formentioned appetite and ease of workout. Comments are welcome! |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 4 | Day 5 Today was Awesome!-- best day by far using Symmetry. I switched the dosing to 8 caps per day, 2 morning, 6 preworkout and the effects were very well noticed. Just compare today's back day to my last back day and you may see what Im talking about! Weight: 209.5 (weighed myself later in the day... but about the same time as I weighed myself on my last post) Diet: Comprised of the usual eggs, oats, turkey sandwich, PB, cottage cheese, CytoGainer, and some chicken piccata with couscous for dinner yumm.. Workout: Back Machine Tbar rows weight including bar 90X12 warmup 135X12 135X10 160X8 180X5 DB rows 90X12 95X10 100X10 100X10 Close grip pulldowns 12X12 14X12 16X8 Comments: I can't say enough about how awesome today's workout was, but I'll control myself- My strength increase was awesome, my endurance was way up and my recovery was way up. I noticed endurance the most because I always have a hard time doing more than 6-8 reps on an excercise. I usually prefer doing about 6 reps. But I blew through the 100lb DB's like they were nothing! Check back to last time I did DB rows and I'm sure I increased. I felt like I could have done another 2 reps on those sets but didn't want to overdo it. I'll be sticking with the 8 caps per day, 2 morning, 6 preworkout- unless theres a better dosage idea that USPlabs suggests. But I am very happy with the 2,6. Hoping tomorrow will be just as good!!!! |

Day 1 Today was a really good workout, but not such a good day overall. I've been wanting to get a good nights sleep for days now, but I have had so much work to do I haven't been getting enough sleep. So I decided last minute last night at midnight that I would try out one of the Venom Lean Dream samples I got in the mail to help me sleep. The problem is I still had to wake up early. So all day I've been rediculously tired haha. I should probably save the sleep aides for a night that I can devote to sleeping ! Diet: Was real rushed this morning so I skipped the eggs. Had 2 cups of oatmeal, apple, milk, 3 cups spaghetti, 6 meat balls, more milk, CytoGainer, ON protein, 2 steak burgers, cottage cheese and PB Workout: Shoulders BB shoulder press 135X10 135X12 145X7(8) 155X6(7) BB front raises 60X10 70X8 70X8 Reverse peck deck 140X15 160X14 170X8 Lateral raises 25X10 25X8 30X6 Upright rows 70X12 90X10 100X10 Comments: Haven't looked back at last shoulder day but I'm pretty sure this one was better... at least it felt a LOT better. Im kinda pissed I was tired because it could have had even more potential. I did high volume training today because I feel my shoulder's are kind of lagging and wanted to switch it up. I noticed many of the same effects as yesterday but not as strongly- Increased- strength, overall feeling, recovery and endurance... Today, I also noticed increased vasularity in my arms- Cool I did experience some slight elbow pain during the military press today Taking tomorrow off to go to my gf's semi-finals in tournement- Wish her luck! hah -SublimE | |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 4 | Another thumbs up for today! And I finally remembered to weigh myself in the morning when I got out of bed! Weight: 209.5 when I woke up this morning Workout: Arms Incline DB curls 30X12 warmup 35X12 40X10 40X10 45X8 Straight bar cable curls slow negative 10X12 12X10 12X10 Hammer French press 35X12 warmup 40X12 40X10 45X10 45X8 V pushdown 9X12 10X12 11X8 11X8 Comments: AWESOME day once again. Probably the best and most productive arm day in a month. Went up in all my excercises. Some noticed effects: Energy, Strength increase, ENDURANCE, pump. Endurance has been the most beneficial effect of this supplement for me. I have never been able to comfortably do higher reps and enjoy it. I actually feel good while doing my set rather than struggling. This is usely becaquse I can focus a lot more on my form than just on how many reps I'm pushing out. Overall, VERY impressed so far. Sidenote: I have gained 3.5 pounds since the beginning of this cycle with no diet change.. not bad |

Recipes: 0 Rep Power: 4 | I hate leg days. Workout: Legs Squats 135X12 Warmup 185X12 225X10 225X8 255X4 Leg press 495X12 585X10 675X5 Standing calf raises 350X10 350X10 400X10 400X10 Comments: Ok so I really don't like leg days... I feel like I don't "know" my legs as well as other body parts. I have troubl guesstimating or knowign what weight and for how many reps I can do on them. I also feel very uncomfortable doing them, but Im sure my toelrance will grow with time. Actually felt a little better , for a leg day.. Nice increase on leg press, noticed more endurance on my first few sets of squats- high reps. Once I got to my last set though I was pretty pooped. Overall decent day I guess, better than the average leg day. |
