AX tester log

Assume product will be here maybe tomorrow, so figured to get started with initial posting.

Going to divide this initial post and make it 2. Experience leads me to the fact that if a post is too long, folks tend to lose interest and skim towards the end. So, to avoid that

I will start with my current workout split. It is a 5 day on, 2 off rotational basis. Every muscle therefore gets hit every 6 days. I like this option, seems to offer me adequate rest time, don't feel fatigued as I have my workouts down to what I consider optimal for recouperation for me. Goes like this....

Day 1.....Chest/ABS
Day 2.....Back/Shoulders
Day 3.....Rest
Day 4.....Biceps/Triceps/ABs
Day 5.....Quads/hams/calves
Day 6.....Rest
Day 7.....start cycle over

Now, on my major lifts(compound movements) I choose one for major bodyparts and do either a 5x5 or 4x6. Really fond of the 4x6, I like the 6 rep scheme, allows to me to utilize maximum weights with what I consider optimal reps(bottom end).

Here is an example from today, it was chest/ab day. I am using this workout to set the bar for the product.

Flat db bench.....6x105,6x105,6x105,5x110(knew I was going to make my last set of 6, felt it, so I went up)

Incline db bench.....7x80,6x80,4x85

Decline barbell bench.....10x185,7x225,3x250

Hammer strength wide bench.....10x270

Flat db flies....10x50

All without a spot, db benches from start to finish just me.

Now, one of my major goals I will be looking to accomplish with the aid of this supplement is to up my db bench. Our db's go to 125. I have in the past done 120's on 2 occassions for a couple reps. I would love to hit the end of the rack(125's) just once at least!

Next post...current stats...bodyweight, measurements, diet, current supplements and schedule. I will post a pic of me when I get home in the next post.

LFL · 01-07-2006, 04:56 PM

Weighed in yesterday after workout at 179 on a crappy scale. Using the same scale all the time, so it will not vary much. Drank a decent amount of water while training, so ~2 lbs. for water. So I am going to say 177. I am 5'7", around 12% bf.

Ok, current diet. Just above maintenance. I am on a lean gain. My up calories slightly with this product. Here for example is yesterday's intake.

Meal 1...1/2c. oatmeal, 5 eggwhites, 1 whole egg, 1 scoop protein, 1/4 cup blueberries

Train

PWO shake 1

PWO shake 2(less simple carbs, 45 -60 min. after the first)

Meal 2....6 oz. ground turkey, 3 oz. spelt pasta, 1 scoop protein,

Between meal snack.....yogurt smoothie, 9 tbsp. eggwhite, low carb ice cream bar

Meal 3....6 oz. lean ground turkey, 1/2 cup beans, 16 crackers(1 serving of wheat thins or whatever)

Betwen meal snack......2 homemade protein cookies(my wife makes for me), yougurt

Meal 4.....6 oz. chicken, 1 cup veggies, (5) Fish oil

Before bed.....6 eggwhite omlette with cup of omlette veggies, 1 slice turkey bacon, 1 slice of whole grain bread with 1 tbsp. natural pb.

This comes out to approximately 2549 calories. 293 gr. of protein, 185 carbs.

This is a bit decieving, as I am on a gain. I keep track of my meals as noted, but I do snack all day on a variety of nuts we keep in the shop. I do not count these, as I just get them as I pass by them. If I was dieting, I would of course count everything. So my total is at least all meals.

Current supplementation is (2) cAMP, (4) Powerfull, (2) Cissus RX(for joints, etc.) all from USP Labs, and CVM extreme creatine by SNS. I plan to keep this same supplement stack while doing this product, this will be an addition. I know pretty much where I stand now, so changes will be easier to note.

Here is a recent picture of me in September with my wife. Not much different right now. Should note here that I am 54 yrs. old.

LFL · 01-07-2006, 05:00 PM

Package arrived while I was at work yesterday.

Started my doseage this morning. Will do exactly as directions say, 3 times per day with meals.

Normally I would have gone to the gym already, but got very little sleep last night. So, I went back to bed for a while, will go later this afternoon when my wife goes.

Will update later. Today will be a back/shoulder day.

You're doing great, very well detailed.

LFL · 01-07-2006, 08:24 PM

An addition to my current supplement post above.....Also of note is I use multiple doses of Vit. C, E, B complex, also use potassium and multi minerals, and always do a zinc before bed. E levels can creep up naturally at night. Zinc inhibits the levels of aromatase in the body.

LFL · 01-07-2006, 11:33 PM

Well, not much to report on the workout front today. Was very tired as noted in my prior post, maybe 2 hrs. sleep. :slapen: So, thought at best this would be a day to have one of those "light" workouts.

Did a small back workout, then hit shoulders. Did dumbbell militaries, used only 70's and 75's for 3 sets of 6, and moved on. Did not force anything, any reps, just stopped just before failure.

Probably was the smartest move I could have made, considering the circumstances. Not often I do this, (a light workout

)but "listened" to my body today. :nosthumbs

Regular_Ryan · 01-08-2006, 01:21 AM

Thank you for the update. I would imagine around day 10 you should start to see some nice results.

**dangetinthere** · 01-08-2006, 05:17 AM

Cool man intrested to see how your log goes! mine should be here monday :dbanana:

Kingfish_Maniac · 01-08-2006, 06:22 PM

I feel you on the sleep I have limited times for sleep and it is usually split up through the day. Great log so far can't wait to see the results! Oh by the way when I hit 54 hope I look have that physique ha ha!

Yeah, the sleep thing sucks. Have been a chronic insomniac all my life. I am very much into natural sources, as my prior posts have alluded to. I have tried every natural sleep remedy known to man!!

Will work for a while, then back to normal.

Nice thing to say, thanks much for the compliement. Consistency, and intelligent training I believe have converted to longevity. Most folks in the gym are amazed when they find out my age.

Just competed last May in a natural show. Placed second, very disappointing. Thought I was going to get my first first place. :crazy1:

LFL · 01-09-2006, 12:29 AM

Day 2.....1/08/06

No gym today, rest day. Dosed the product as instructed.

LFL · 01-10-2006, 12:58 AM

Well, today was arms/abs. Not much out of the ordinary, pretty normal workout other than an extraordinary pump.

Really noticing it driving to work, shirt sleeves were nice and tight. Could have been for any reason though. Did 7 total sets for bi's, and 9 total for tri's.

LFL · 01-11-2006, 01:15 AM

Day 4....1/10/06...Tuesday

Took today off, did just some cardio. Normally would have been a leg day, but trying to give my knees a much needed rest. Have a bit of tendonitis in both of them. They are fine till I put them under some type of load.

Tomorrow I will probably hit chest again with the added day of rest. Feel pretty good right now and feel like it may be a good thing to do. That instinctive training session.

Not too much to report on the supplement tester front, in fact nothing at all. Tomorrow will be day 5, hoping for good things to start soon. I remember even with PH's, like Methyl Dien/Mohn it took 7-10 days to start feeling anything.

So, I am patient.

LFL · 01-12-2006, 02:17 AM

Day 5....1/11/06...Wednesday

Well, decided to hit legs a bit, sore knees and all. Approached it quite differently than normal. Did calves first, followed by extensions.

Now, I haven't done leg presses in probably 2 months, trying to take some heat off my knees. Been just doing some parallel light hacks. Was doing 12 plates each side plus 25 each side on the leg press before. Did not know what to expect today.

Ended up doing just 3 sets, 10 plates on each side only. Actually fairly effortlessly. Was quite surprised, am sure I could have gone up more, but decided to stay there for my knees sake.

Weighed in this morning after my workout, no change. Diet continues to be dam close to what I presented early in this log. Tomorrow is chest. My favorite day. Hoping for good things.

Kingfish_Maniac · 01-12-2006, 03:22 PM

Glad to hear things are going good for you. I see you are taking things a little at a time which is a good approach IMO. Jumping into things too much and trying to get that heavier weight could lead to some injuries. I am sure the gains and all will come up soon. Looking forward to reading more. Good luck in the gym bro

Thanks for stopping by and the words of encouragement. Much appreciated. Your advice is heeded.

Day 6....1/12/06....Thursday

Ok, what to say about today! Pretty phenominal day, did chest.

Normally I would take a day off after legs, but since I took the previous day, I went in. Started off with flat dumbbell, hit 3 full sets of 6 with 110's! Now I have done 110's in the past numerous times, but never for 3 full sets.

Pretty stoked, went to dumbbell inclines. Now, inclines have always been a "thorn in my side" so to speak, never been real strong in them. Last week I did 80's for my sets, today I did 2 sets of 5x85, then did 90's for 3! The most interesting part of this was I have never, ever been able to start the 90's by myself, let alone do any reps. I did these start to finish, and not sure that I have ever started the 85's by myself!

I followed that up with 250 on the decline bench.

Now, I did have 2 pieces of pizza yesterday on top of my normal diet, so it was probably either the pizza or the supplement starting to work. Sustainability of these levels will be the telling factor.

Oh yeah, I was up a lb. also, weighed in at 180 after my workout. Probably not water, as I had a bottle and did not even finish it. So again, pizza or supplement? We will see!

**MASSIVE** · 01-13-2006, 12:43 AM

I am very excited to see these gains....it will only get better!
Great log!

Thanks for that Massive. I was pretty stoked about the workout yesterday. You have no idea what an accomplishment those inclines were for me.

I was still thinking about them when I went to bed last night! :nosthumbs

LFL · 01-13-2006, 04:05 PM

Day 7....1/13/06...Friday(uh oh, Friday the 13th!)

Today is a much needed day off. I will eat and rest today, not even do any cardio. Hit shoulders/back tomorrow.

It should be a telling day if yesterday was a fluke or not. I have been doing 4x6's with military presses. Skipped them last week in favor of dumbbells due to being so tired. Tomorrow I plan to hit them again. Have gotten up to 160 now for some reps. Never have done that for a full 6 reps with 160, have with 150 quite a few times......Maybe tomorrow will bring a new high???

**dangetinthere** · 01-13-2006, 04:40 PM

nice log man, It sounds like it may be kicking in nice progress!!:nosthumbs

LFL · 01-14-2006, 07:27 PM

Day 8....1/14/06....Saturday

Well, <sigh>, no records today. In fact, not even close. I struggled mightily today with my workout.

Did get through it, and had a good back and shoulder pump going, but strength was down a bit. Out of sheer will, I forced up a couple reps with 160 on militaries, but it was a battle even getting there.

Oh well, chalk it up to any number of things, every day can't be great.

LFL · 01-15-2006, 08:19 PM

Day 9...1/15/06...Sunday

Off day today. Will rest, eat good, and see what tomorrow brings.
