Romanaz's Pyru-Crex Log

**romanaz** · 12-07-2006, 04:14 AM

Starting this log of Pyru-Crex courtesy of www.hardnutrition.com

I will start supplementing this pre-workout as directed with 1scoop. I will mix it seperatly from my whey and dextrose for pre-workout. Days that I don't lift (aka sunday) I will take it with my second meal for the day @ work (AM meal as directed). If I know my break won't be fore noon, ill take it with breakfast.

Daily diet (roughly, I'll post daily on what it is, this is just a general template)

Meal 1:
1 scoop TP WPC w/ 8-10oz 2% milk
1/2 cup of Oats
1/2 cup of egg beaters egg whites
1 Equate Complete Multi-vitamin
1 Fish Oil Cap
1 Flax Seed Cap
1 8oz glass of 2% Milk

Meal 2:
1/2 cup of Egg Beaters egg whites
1 Banana or Apple
1 Fish oil cap
1 Flax Seed cap

Pre-Workout: (will take this before GPP on thursdays)
1 Scoop Pyru-Crex
1 Scoop TP WPC (seperate shakes from the pyru-crex)
1/2 Scoop Dextrose

Meal 3: Post-Workout
2-3 cups Chicken Breast OR beef OR turkey
1-3 cups Brown Rice
1 Fish Oil Cap
1 Flax Seed Cap

Meal 4:
1 Can of Tuna

Meal 5:
2-4 tsp Natty Peanut Butter and/or Cottage Cheese

Probably won't deviate much from this, sometimes Saturday nights when I'm out with friends I might have another meal later around 11pm.

For the duration of this log, I will not drink or smoke (anything).

If I reach a weight of 185 on my home scale in the morning, I will up my calories a lot and focus on strength rather then fat loss.

Log starts tomorrow! I will copy and paste my routine in the gym over here as well, as well as any soreness experienced (label says something about helping recovery, we shall see).

let the games begin!

do you suggest taking the pyru-crex seperate from the whey?

**romanaz** · 12-07-2006, 08:03 PM

Flavor is Fruit Punch

Taste : 6.5/10
Smells better then it tastes. Its not an overly strong taste, but it does have some overtones of Fruit Punch. Could be stronger imo.

Mixablilty : 9/10
Mixes quite well, has a few small particles in it (probably the creatine, who would have thunk that), but overall mixes well.

I will evaulate the overall once I finish this log.

DJohnson · 12-07-2006, 09:18 PM

Nice, I'm very interested in this product. I'm looking for a pre-workout product that doesn't contain arginine. Stupid NO products give me cold sores sometimes.

**romanaz** · 12-07-2006, 09:53 PM

did GPP today:

put a 45lb plate in my backpack and went up 4 flights of stairs and down 4 times. damn was it good.

Post-Workout/Meal 3:
1 Scoop of TP WPC
2 Cups Beef
1 Cup Brown Rice
1 Fish Oil Cap
1 Flax Seed Cap

Defintly felt the creatine, as I had to piss 10 minutes after taking it, and I felt the mind stuff working as I was beat as hell up top after my 3rd run up and I said, I got another one in me!

**romanaz** · 12-08-2006, 01:41 AM

Meal 4:
1 can of tuna
about 30-40 hershey dark chocolate chips

If the taste isn't strong enough, use a little less water when you take it. We are reworking the flavor now, so in the future Pyru-CreX and RevitalizeX will taste much better. I would suggest taking it separate from your Whey. Log looks great. Good luck with it.

probably BK its saturday baby!!

Exericse:

Alright, felt the speed in the squats baby! went up to 60% of my 1RM for speed, last few sets werent as speedy as they could be, but it was good. Box was an old storage box from when I moved (I got video so when I edit it (cuz im cool like that) ull see that I mean), so its at/little below paralell. My hammies aren't strong enough still to go lower on the box squat safely (I lose tightness + fall last inch or so) so working on that.

I was supposed to do lunges, but sadly, my big toe on my right foot has been swollen and killing me all day (in the videos u can see me cringe sometimes) because I got a blister and some bitch customer at work ran my foot over with a FULL cart and popped it and its been hurting like hell since. She didn't even give me a half-hearted sorry, that devil women!

Hamstrings are going to be rough tomorow, lets see how the Pyru-Crex's recovery capablilties work eh?

Box Squats
135x2
155x2
175x2
185x2
195x2
195x2
195x2
195x2
195x2
195x2

RDL (subbed in for Reverse Hypers, as there is none currently @ my house, plus I havent done these in a while, felt GREAT)
245x8
275x8
295x8 [PR]

BB Rows
145x6
165x6
165x6

BB Shrugs
135x15
155x15
155x15 [PR]

also, did some deadlifts with lightweight (ok 165 [after rows] and 295 [after rdl's] to work on form and I figured out my stance was to wide for conventional, move it in, feet straight (hard to do since im flat footed) and it gives more speed off the floor)

:-D

good day, felt the pyru-crex and its mind tricks

**romanaz** · 12-10-2006, 08:49 PM

edit : did NOT go to bk last night, in fact wasn't out much at all, bowling didnt happen since one of the girls mom = bitch
