Ritual - Day 1
Weight - 183
Sup, sup, sup!!?? Before I go any further, I have to give thanks to Judgement Day & the crew over at ANS for giving me this opportunity to log their product!! The timing was perfect too because I was in need of a new preworkout. The ingredient profile looks simple, yet effective. There's a couple things on there that I've not seen before, so I'm looking forward to giving this a go! Most of you know me by now, and understand that I work rotating shift work (days & nights), so I hit the gym whenever possible. I hit one body part per day, and will be trying to get cardio at least 5x a week also. I never get into too much detail as far as sets/reps, and diet. I usually just let you know how the product is effecting me in the gym, and out. If I get some pr's or just have a great session, I may share a little more with you. I'll get some pics up w/in the next day or so. I'll be posting my weight each update as well. I'm trying to cut right now, but I guess more emphasis is on the recomp right now. Cutting sucks, so that's why I keep it more on the recomp side.
I took my first dose @ 3am this morning. My first impression was the color! I dumped the 1 scoop in the water & then turned around for a second to put the jar back in the pantry. Upon turning back around, I saw a deep, royal blue in my cup! I hadn't even mixed it up yet. For mixing, I just swirled the cup around a few times, so the mixability is 5 stars right off the bat. Flavor - freaking awesome!! Talk about refreshing! Definitely a welcome change to the same ol fruit punch..
After about 30 min, I started feeling it kick in. I didn't get to bed early enough last night, so I knew I'd be putting Ritual to the test for the energy it had to offer. I'm a stim junkie, but I'll always start off w/ the recommended one scoop just to see what it does. I'm glad I did! The energy was great! Definitely not a jittery stimmed out feeling. Just nice & clean and steady. I probably could've used the 2 nd scoop, but like I said, I gotta give it a fair shot.
This morning's chest workout was pretty good. First day on the new product and the pump was pretty nice. No pr's to speak of, but I felt good throughout the workout. Having the gym to myself didn't hurt either.. I had good energy and focus throughout the workout. I got on the stationary bike and rode it at a pretty good resistance for about 40 minutes. I was soaked! This stuff might just help me get back down below 180!!
So far so good! Stay tuned..
