WTF Pump'd! sponsored log (Bonus: Transformation to a Morning Lifter!)

**Midnight_Lifter** · 04-16-2007, 04:15 AM

Hey everybody...

I was one of the testers chosen to log ALR Industries WTF Pump'd! over on the anabolicbeast board. I'll be keeping a log there as well as on a few other sites (including here). Each board has a different personality to it, so if there are any interesting twists or questions somewhere, I may bring them into another log so everyone (especially me!) can benefit.

I should receive the sample jug this week.
In addition to it being a seemingly KICK ASS product, I hope to use it to help me transition from a Midnight Lifter to AM workouts...

ALR Industries Presents WTF Pump'd™

WTF Pump'd™ is designed to provide short-term, hardcore energy with attitude, as well as painful muscle pumps with roadmap vascularity while supporting the anabolic window for overcompensation recovery.

WTF Pump'd™ is for those high intensity workouts that make you want to get in, move some tonnage, and get out before you puke so you can start recovering and growing, now! Read on...

Quote:

Why Settle For Average?

First let’s get the long acting NO2 mass production matrix together. WTF Pump’d™ contains the optimum perfect synergy matrix containing Arginine AKG 2:1, Histidine AKG 2:1, Citrulline Malate Ethyl Ester and Ng-Hydroxy-L-Arginine Ethyl Ester. Together these compounds provide the substrates for long acting elevation of NO2 you will realize for HOURS after leaving the gym.

Off course we added just the right amount of Creatine Ethyl Ester, Tricreatine Malate to the matrix to support ATP regeneration.

Make a Scene When You Train

Define: in•ten•si•ty
1: the quality or state of being intense ; especially : extreme degree of strength, force, energy, or feeling
2: the magnitude of a quantity (as force or energy) per unit (as of area, charge, mass, or time)

Fact is that your intensity level is the prime deciding factor for the results anyone can expect from training. It you train like a weenie, plan on looking like one. Train like an animal…every work-out…and look like a beast. The degree of activity in your neuron-systems decide how much weight you can move and in how short of a period of time.

Intensity is a matter of having the attitude to never accept mediocrity. With WTF Pump’d™ we have provided the perfect short acting intensity with attitude matrix consisting of Cowpea, Caffeine and Schizandra. I know, does not sound like much, but making a scene when you train seems the only option left when you try it. No hype or sales BS needed. Nuff said.

Muscle Cell Volumizing and Insulingenics

Part of anabolism is volumization of muscle cells. This means that it is possible to force more nutrients “inside” the cell making them not only fuller, but supports a superior anabolic (growth) state. Naturally creatine compounds were one of the first to be noted for this use, but since we have learned that there is much more to the recipe than add creatine, sugar and water if you want growth to result.

Several hormones and compounds have an affect upon cellular up-take of nutrients. One of the most powerful anabolic hormones is insulin. Insulin triggers a series of cellular events that results in a micro and macro nutrient (you know, like glycogen, and amino acids for energy and growth) feeding frenzy to build from and greater cell volume. So not only do you look bigger…you are REALLY growing as well.

WTF Pump’d™ provides a state of the art insulingenic and cell volumizing matrix made up of Taurine, Tamarindus Indica, Corosolic Acid and Glycerol Monostearate.

What Can You Expect From WTF Pump’d™?

Servere Pumps and Vascularity
Superior and Rapid Recovery
Focus and Attitude

As for the Midnight Lifter part of it… you can read my initial application here and I will post up more about me and what I personally will be looking for from this killer new supplement from ALR Industries in future posts.

**Midnight_Lifter** · 04-24-2007, 04:16 AM

Took my first chug-a-lug of WTF Pump’d! this evening around 9:30 and hit the weights a little after 10. (I figured I’d actually follow the directions the first time around and not only take it on an empty stomach, but also 30-45 min pre-workout…)

Tonight was chest/shoulders/triceps which I hit with a focus I haven’t had in the recent past. Still had stuff swarming around in my head, but I found it easier to concentrate on the workout and not on everything else if I concentrated. (Some other pre-workout supps seem to support the scatter-brained approach, maybe too heavy on the stims?)

I also had a reserve of energy to draw on when I needed to push out one more rep (after a few sets, too). I also added three sets of decline bb presses because I felt like it.

As for the WTF Pump’d – It mixed up fairly well in a shaker bottle. Nice enough flavor, not sure what I was expecting but not bad… 10 oz water and a couple of ice cubes.
Interestingly, the closed-lid shaker did not xplode or even seem to have that effervescent pfffsssshhh that many pre-workout energizers do.
(This is nice because you can mix it in the shaker – no spoon required – and keep mixing/shaking it as you go.)

I chugged it on down then immediately thought that might have been a bad idea, envisioning my workout time spent sitting on the shitter. But I didn’t get that overdose reaction common to these products, nor did I get a rush or upset stomach.
(If fact, I wrestled with the dog for a while, trying to wait the 30-45 minutes!)

Smooth energy, no frenzied rush.

Since I’m a fat ass right now, it was hard to define the vascularity, but I can say there was pumpage going on. Tri’s looked pretty good, chest looked bigger and I even had to throw in a muscle-man front double bi pose b/c those were feelin’ it too…

All in all, day one was impressive enough for me to want to keep up with this log and not try to eBay my loot… (yeah, right! You can have any of my ALRI products when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers!)

Even tho I sound like a cheerleader there, I’ll post up ongoing feedback and updates over the next 30 days. One thing I will be watching for is decreasing effect from the product, which I do not anticipate over the 30-day log… but who knows.

As for now, I’ll catch you all tomorrow for another installment of the WTF log…

**Midnight_Lifter** · 04-25-2007, 01:10 PM

Tuesday was an off day so nothing to report (except for great DOMS in chest and shoulders... not painful, shitty DOMS but those good ones that you know you worked the muscles deeper than they were last worked...)

Kinda felt like an idiot squeezing chest and shoulder muscles and triceps all day (and no back DOMS to match... whaaa... oh well, they're coming -- BACK TONIGHT!!!)

**Midnight_Lifter** · 04-25-2007, 01:23 PM

OK, so… I was also one of the lucky ones who received Primed Ultra. I’m going to try this out in a few ways to report how it works and to get a better feel for how I might work it in as an ongoing part of my supplement arsenal.

This morning I took one cap (recommended dose is two… I wanted to test the waters a bit) on an empty stomach just after waking up. In order to wait the 30 minutes or so, I took the garbage to the street (driveway, remember?) and then had to do it again because I forgot one bag in the garage.
Nice little warm up while things kicked in…

I rowed for only 15 minutes, which I decided to cut short to fit in a new abs workout (Abs of Steel – go ahead, laugh at me all you want… I figure my library has tons of cardio and abs videos that maybe I’ll swap them in and out after rowing two or three times per week to kick things up a bit).

Note to self – preview video and queue up the routine you want to use first. I ended up doing the warm ups and having to bag on the abs portion…

How’d the Primed Ultra work out? Fairly well, even at only one cap. Good energy, no upset stomach or swirling head crap you might get with some other stims, and no crazy craziness to report. I’ll bump it up to 2 caps next time and let you know how it goes… tho I expect much better energy and focus.

I also plan on taking two Primed Ultra along with my WTF Pump’d tonight for my back workout… and maybe pop in some Dio (Lock up the Wolves) or Queensryche (Operation: MindCrime) – so watch out!

fyp!

Log looks good, lifting in the morning is great if you can wake your ass up enough. Occasionally I can pull it off but a lot of the time I'm too sleepy to lift for real.

**Midnight_Lifter** · 04-25-2007, 05:35 PM

If I can get my sht together enough to finally do some stretching, that Dido suggestion you got there sounds like a good one to combine with the PNF stretches. (I'm not familiar with the Mandy Moore one...)

Catch-up post…

Did legs Thursday night and took Friday night off to catch up on sleep. Did not take Primed Ultra or WTF on Friday as I am going to keep these for workouts (duh!).

So, I haven’t done a great leg workout in some time, but I went thorough with this one. I was really focused, which I hope is the PU/WTF realY starting to kick in. Squats, SLDL, leg extensions, curls, calves you name it – I pushed HARD and really went for form, good contractions, and the burn.

I was not let down… if it’s the WTF and/or Primed Ultra, I can say I’m impressed. Other than squats (ATG, but I’m trying to find my weight after being away from heavy squatting for a while), I did everything with a warm up set then the rest to failure.
Recovery was quick not only DURING the workout, but after as well. After about 30-40 seconds, I was rearing and ready to go, even at the end of my workout… great feeling, great focus.

Pumps were pretty good, especially on my last set of leg extensions.

I was afraid I was going to have some bad-ass DOMS to deal with (as in, hard to even sit on the potty the next day DOMS!) but they’ve been mild. GOOD FEELING, but mild… is that part of the WTF at work? (recovery-wise?)

Good sweat too, which is similar to when I first started taking Hyperdrive pre-cardio last year.

I also got a nice gift for myself… I needed to order my wife more Hyperdrive, and that’s not enough for a shipment (need BIG boxes…) so I added Lemonade Xtend and Sustain chocolate peanut butter bars (to stave off the monster when I’m traveling for the day, just in case…). I also added a watermelon Substance and I’m hoping I made a good choice with that one… lol…

I’m liking the combo so far. I might try two scoops of WTF to see how that goes, and I might skip them for a workout to see if there is a big difference. Other than that, this first week’s been great, and it’s not even over yet.
I’m surviving the weekend so far diet-wise, even if I did have like a double helping of ground turkey for lunch (but it was all I had except for a cup of broccoli…, and breakfast was spot on with apple, natty PB, and whey. Snack was a sample size Strawberry Kiwi Nectar… mmm, that was good (but not enough food!).

More to follow, gonna go throw some rocks around for the rock walls now (cardio!)

**Midnight_Lifter** · 04-29-2007, 02:26 PM

Chest day! (Everyone loves chest day, right?)

Went to bed early last night and promised myself I’d make up the workout in the morning NO MATTER WHAT. I’m glad I did b/c it was one of the better chest workouts I’ve had in some time.

Downed two Primed Ultra with my WTF Pump’d and checked a few messages while I waited the half-hour I’m supposed to… (I generally miss out because I gulp the pre-workout just before lifting… granted, what I use most is MetRx Amped which you’re supposed to also sip during your workout, but I also rarely give it time to kick in before I hit the weights)

Since I am logging for feedback as well as to get great results from these products, I figure I’ll follow the rules and not get my ass kicked into next week by FitnFirm lol…

As is becoming expected with this combo, strength is up from last workout, recovery is quick between sets, and my head is definitely in the game – very focused. I’m not yet sure how much of this to attribute to WTF or Primed Ultra, or just a general shift in attitude, but I like it. (I’m one of those that tries to handle everything all the time, so when I can clear my head and actually focus, it’s noticible…)

Good pumps somewhat, but I don’t really notice chest pumps outside of the mirror as much as smaller muscles (bi’s, tri’s, calves, forearms). This is probably normal and I would not say is a problem… just that maybe I can work the chest harder, deeper, longer in the future.

Another thing I am doing now is actually plowing through the supersets in my routine. In the past I would peter out or just bail on supersets, preferring to run them as two separate sets. I was looking at humbling myself and dropping the weight to get them in, and build back up to the heavier weights, but I feel that with this combo, I am able to go go go right through them… and I’m liking it!

Music was a crapshoot today… I started off with the radio for variety, which is good because I rarely listen to radio other than talk radio, so I don’t usually get to hear the new releases. Not sure if I really like the new Ozzy song (I Don’t Want to Stop), but it might grow on me… might have to check out the new album. Had to kill it after a while (too much Poison and ads… lol…) ann popped in some old Aerosmith.

Today’s ratings:
Strength: 9.5/10 – (Saving ‘10’ for when it’s outstanding!) Just keep going up, pushing through the sets
Pumps: 8/10 – As I said, nothing against the products, just not pumped…
Recovery: 9.5/10 Recovery between sets continues to be great… and ready to go after the workout as well…
Mood: 10/10 – Today is definitely a good day!
Comments: see above!

Catch-up post

Monday I did my first full arms workout (biceps and triceps) on WTF Pump’d and Primed Ultra. Holy sh*t… now I know what y’all have been ranting and raving about!

Let me say that I am a borderline non-responder with most stims (unless I od them and get that sick to your stomach, gotta go eat two sausage McMuffins with Egg just to feel better reaction, which is usually counter productive to the fat burners… lol…) and to the NO ‘pump’ type products.

I’m not yet sure how much of this to attribute to WTF or Primed Ultra, or just a general shift in attitude, but I like it. (I’m one of those that tries to handle everything all the time, so when I can clear my head and actually focus, it’s noticible…) Good pumps somewhat, but I don’t really notice chest pumps outside of the mirror as much as smaller muscles (bi’s, tri’s, calves, forearms). This is probably normal and I would not say is a problem… just that maybe I can work the chest harder, deeper, longer in the future. Another thing I am doing now is actually plowing through the supersets in my routine. In the past I would peter out or just bail on supersets, preferring to run them as two separate sets. I was looking at humbling myself and dropping the weight to get them in, and build back up to the heavier weights, but I feel that with this combo, I am able to go go go right through them… and I’m liking it! Music was a crapshoot today… I started off with the radio for variety, which is good because I rarely listen to radio other than talk radio, so I don’t usually get to hear the new releases. Not sure if I really like the new Ozzy song (I Don’t Want to Stop), but it might grow on me… might have to check out the new album. Had to kill it after a while (too much Poison and ads… lol…) ann popped in some old Aerosmith. Today’s ratings: Strength: 9.5/10 – (Saving ‘10’ for when it’s outstanding!) Just keep going up, pushing through the sets Pumps: 8/10 – As I said, nothing against the products, just not pumped… Recovery: 9.5/10 Recovery between sets continues to be great… and ready to go after the workout as well… Mood: 10/10 – Today is definitely a good day!
