So the past few days everything has been going good. I know I keep repeating myself about my hunger but it has gotten intense. I am eating almost everything in site. I started using MyFitnessPal app again and I realized I am eating way more calories and carbs then I thought I was. So I am very impressed with how my body is reacting to all the carbs and calories.

Up to this point, muscle fullness, strength, and some body comp changes are the main noticeable effects I am noticing. Vascularity has slowed down a bit, but I am still seeing some veins pop out while the blood is pumping which is good. Like I noted earlier, I am looking to add size but still stay lean/ get a bit leaner then I currently am. I believe that is taking place so far and I am enjoying it.

Diet:
- I will start to take a screen shot of MyFitnessPal app at the end of the day once I am done eating which will show all of my macros for the day.
- I have been eating the same thing for dinner the last few days which I am totally fine with. Egg, chicken, cheese, and red potatoes.

Still not very much noticeable DOMS as of now. I will say that the pumps in the gym are insane though which I have noticed many people report while on X-Gels.

I have been having my brother take some quick short videos of myself in the gym during some exercises. I will get some up tomorrow night.

I make the same thing for dinner like 2 weeks in a row, then deviate, then make that for 2 weeks in a row. I am not very spontaneous and a creature of habit. :eek:

Finished with some ab work.

I am starting to notice some muscle mass gain for sure. I took a look at myself in the mirror yesterday and I just look fuller and thicker. My shoulders looked much rounder then usual. I have also started to notice some more definition in the legs which is something I am really focusing on more lately.

Diet:
- 300 carbs
- 3900 calories

Supplements:
- So my hunger is getting out of control now. I started tracking all my calories and macros and am eating way more then I thought I was. Even though this is the case, I am still very hungry even after a hefty sized meal. My carbs were a bit higher then I expected too, so I am suprised and happy with that also. Never really been able to handle that many carbs and I seem to be handling them very well as of now.
- I felt more sore the last few days following a good nights sleep.

So I will for sure be back in Wyoming next Saturday at the latest which I am very excited about. I will be able to have more options on meals and actually making meals. Also am very excited to get back in my home gym.

Today (Saturday) and tomorrow are off days. Carbs are a bit lower today and will be tomorrow also. I would venture to guess they will be around 150ish.

Day 25-27:

Good news... I finally will be back in Wyoming on Thursday for good. I will be leaving Texas and I am more then excited to get back. I will be able to get back to everything and have access to much more.

My diet will be switching up a bit also. I will comment on that more once I get back and get everything planned out. The major change up will be concerning carb intake timing.

So I am really enjoying everything so far. I have added some size with only being half way through this stack and feel like I still can add quite a bit more.

Excellent job as always. Do you find that width of grip on incline presses best? Do you use that width for all your bb work?

Thanks man. For me, that grip works best. I can really feel the muscle contract more. I vary my grips on all BB work just to hit the muscle differently. But I usually stick with a certain width for a few sessions before switching.

Day 28-33

Haven't been able to keep up with the log for the past week due to getting back to Wyoming and some other issues. Finally back in Wyoming and will be able to keep up with everything 100%.

Anyways, felt good to be back at my main gym. The University is renovating the whole Half Acre (campus fitness area) and it won't be done until August 2014. So things are very different from when I left and I do not know how it is going to work once school starts with all the students. Going to be interesting.

So to recap on supplement use:
8 caps X-Gels pre-workout days only
2 caps AB pre-workout and 2 caps AB post-workout. 1/1/1/1 on non-workout days prior to meals.
1 cap Forskolin in the morning, pre-workout, post-workout, and pre-bed. 1/1/1/1 on non-workout days with AB.
1 cap Recompadrol prior to all meals containing carbs.
1 cap SSv2 twice a day prior to biggest meals of the day with 1 cap Recompadrol

Finished with some ab work and 7 minutes of HIIT on the bike.

Diet:
- Diet will start to change a bit now that I am back home.
- Looking to start carb cycling more which will go like this: 2 days low, 1 day moderate, 1 day high, and repeat.
- Carb choices will be oatmeal, potatoes, Kashi-Go-Lean, pancake mix, and brown rice.
- I also will be able to finally start making some tasty healthy treats, especially using some of The Solutions recipes.

Supplements:
- So I finally got to weight myself today and the scale said 196. That is roughly a 3lb increase from the start of the log. I feel like this is a good increase so far considering the differences in my body composition that I am noticing.
- Continuing to look fuller and rounder. I am surely looking bigger then before I started the log. I look much wider and thicker then previously.
- Strength seems to be increasing also. I can't really talk to much on strength because I've been working out at different gyms since the beginning of the log but I am very familiar with the gym I am at now and will be able to tell what exercises I have increased strength on.

The 2013 NPC Jay Cutler Classic will be in Cheyenne, Wyoming (30 minutes away from Laramie) on August 10th. I was pumped to go to it and check it out since I have never attended one before, but of course something came up and I have to go to a wedding that weekend. So that is a bummer, but still cool that it will be that close to me and I am interested if any of the competitors will be from my gym.

Diet:
- Got in about 200 carbs yesterday with the majority coming pre and post workout.
- Calories were around 3700.

Supplements:
- Strength is starting to go up at a very fast pace. Felt very strong on shoulders yesterday.
- Pumps yesterday were awesome as well. Been having great pumps the whole log but yesterday was another level of pumps :D.
- Legs were having me walking all wobbly during my shoulder session.
- My waist seems to be shrinking some while everywhere else is leaning out nicely. I am eating a good amount of carbs and calories and still leaning out. If I were to do this prior to this stack, I would of gained some unwanted fat and that is not the issue as of now.
- Muscle hardness is something that I haven't commented on yet and I have no idea why because I feel much much harder.

Do you have a reason for not going to failure on each set?

Like your squats your obviously repping 225 for 12 easily. Would you not be better doing 3 sets of 305?

No, I don't really have a reason I guess for the fact I train alone. I've never really trained to failure with the exception of a few times. But to answer your question, I would probably benefit more by getting in 3 sets of heavier weight (305+). I have always just felt I get better gains by sticking in the 8-12 rep range and going higher on reps on certain exercises.

If you went heavier earlier you'd be fresh too. You don't have to change your rep range either. You could do your first set 305+ for 10 at least I'm sure when your fresh. Then drop a few pounds to keep the reps where you want. I hope you don't think I'm trying to Tell you what to do. Just seems like your only really doing 1 working set of what your capable of.

For sure, I get what you are saying. Keep in mind, I keep my rest periods very short, which is another reason why I try not to go too heavy and not get the reps I am aiming for.

I'll see what I can do Friday which is my next leg session.

Diet:
- Total number of carbs yesterday were about 225.
- Calories were around 3600.
- Went a little overboard on morning breakfast and had more carbs then I thought but no biggy.

Supplements:
- So I really think ArA is kicking in more and more as the days go on. Strength continues to rise and my endurance is also better then I thought.
- After taking a look at myself in the mirror yesterday, I can tell that I am gaining lean muscle mass for sure. I feel and look bigger everyday. With all the supplements I am taking, I can't give all the credit to one or the other, but I believe that AnaBeta is really doing its job. Everytime I have ran AnaBeta, I have noticed a good amount of change in my physique (leaning out, lean muscle mass, strength, etc.)
- My libido is also increasing which I haven't commented on yet. Hopefully the lady friend gets back sooner then later :D.
- Noticed some increased vascularity yesterday also. I know I had stated before that it was starting to level off some, but yesterday I had veins popping out very noticeably.

I have done them both ways. I prefer to just drop the weight and then I do the "bit of a kiss" off the pins. I will do a dead stop if I am at my last few reps and the weight is pretty heavy and I need a few seconds before the next pull.

Been lacking on the updates over the weekend. I went to a good friends wedding and had to drive 7 hours just to get there then 7 hours back. And on top of that, I moved into my new place and have been trying to get everything set up but still have some to do.

I did get my workout in today though. I will post it up tomorrow once I get my TV and Internet turn on. Typing everything on the iPhone isn't the best way to do updates haha.

Diet:
- Diet has been fairly clean. It has improved now that I am moved in my house and been able to go to the store. It wasn't all that bad but not as clean I would have liked.
- Been carb cycling but not going too low on carbs. 2 days around 125-150. Third day around 200-225. Fourth day around 300-350.
- Getting in the majority of my carbs pre and post workout. Still getting in around 30-50 carbs per meal excluding the last meal of the day.
- Calories have been ranging from around 3500-4000.
- I am still eating like a horse. I've had to up my macros in just about every meal or at least try to.

Supplements:
- I believe that ArA is really kicking in now. My body seems to be changing every day from when I wake up to hitting the gym until bed time. I am looking pretty massive in the weight room and for the people that know me in there from the last time they saw me (end of school year) are telling me I look bigger and keep asking do I ever stop growing haha. But on the real, I am looking much bigger then before. And not just bigger, but much much fuller and rounder.
- My strength levels keep on rising. Every exercise I have noticed more weight being lifted for more reps.
- Endurance seems to be on the rise also. I haven't noticed much in the endurance department but the last few workouts I have had great endurance throughtout my sessions.
- I have some pretty narly DOMS going on right now. My legs, shoulders, back, and biceps are all very sore right now and I just lifted these this Monday and yesterday. My legs always seem to get more sore as the days go on, but I hadn't been noticing any soreness up until now. Bicep DOMS were pretty intense yesterday following the workout. I couldn't bend my arm for more then 2 seconds without the bicep hurting (showering was difficult haha).
- Anabeta + Forskolin have been treating me very well (when don't they :D).
- I've got some nice muscle fiber visiblity going on especially in the shoulder / chest region.
- Vascularity is on the rise agian. I don't know why it leveled off before, but it is back in full effect which I am very happy about.

I have another wedding I have to attend this coming Saturday but that is alright because Saturday and Sunday will be off days so I will be able to get in all my updates throughout the week and be back next Monday.

The very first time I took it (2007) I got to the gym and my face started tingling then started to tingle all the way down my body to my toes. I literally thought I was going to die haha. I enjoy the tingles now though.

Diet:
- carbs will be around 125 for the day.
- I plan on hitting around 3800 calories for the day.

Had an amazing pump in the gym today from the get go. Like I stated before I hit the gym, I accidentally took 3 scoop of BA and I was tingling just a little too much haha. No biggie though.

Really felt strong on every exercise for chest today. I really blasted through my session today. Rest periods were kept to about 30 seconds on every exercise.

My triceps are really started to get the horseshoe look. I've always had it but now it is that much more visible.

Day 43:

So I woke up this morning feeling pretty beat up. Whole body is sore including legs which continue to get worse. So I knew going into the gym that I would need to really focus and give it my all.

I took some videos today and want to put them up but my phone won't let me and I have no Internet yet to put them on my computer to put them on. Ill try and get them up sometime soon.

The session went well like I stated before. Felt very pumped today. Surprised it went so well as I was very sore prior to the session.

Diet:
- I try to get carbs higher on leg days but today is going to be a little lower. Around 150.
- diet has been pretty clean this week. I have to go to a wedding this weekend but shouldn't have to go too dirty with the food choices.

- strength, body composition, and lean mass are the main effects I am noticing. Every area has seemed to increase day by day.
- weight was 195 post workout today. I seem to be in the 195-196 area and not moving. I am fine with that because I 100% look bigger and fuller but can tell I am leaning out quite nicely.
