Hey all! Huge shout out to all Purus Labs reps for allowing me to run this sponsored log for their product AminOD! Im an avid believer that Amino Acids really do help with the recovery process although some people believe that its pretty much useless. Ive always loved amino products and swear by them so again, Im very grateful that Purus Labs hooked me up! Im sorry for the delayed first post. I got the package saturday afternoon and had to drive home to pick it up before I left for school, BUT THEN I get to school on sunday and they have a campus-wide announcement that the internet/Wifi will not be available until today at roughly 4PM. SO I figured oh well no big deal, but then I realized that I also have no data on my phone to make a post saying whats going on (I know looks sketchy or like im making up excuses) But im being honest and Ill make it up to everyone with a kick ass log!
SO lets dive right into everything shall we!? I like making my logs bold and colorful and as detailed as it allows without rambling. I believe thats what sets apart good loggers from those who are doing it just to get free product. So some of my posts may be fairly short, while others may be a bit lengthier! I try to do a update on the product, and my thoughts on it once per week so also look forward to that. Note that ive already used this product twice this week but havent been able to post so im going to make these first 2 posts quick just because I have a 730am class tomorrow!
Name: Ryan
Age:21
Occupation: Student/Collegiate Athlete
Years training: 7 but 5 seriously
Supplements used: All of them But seriously Ive used almost everything in the natty category and havent jumped to the dark side yet.
Amino products used: Probably 7 or 8 different ones, If I could remember the names I would post them!
What to look forward to in the log: Well the main aspect Im going to talk about is recovery and anything in addition that I find it helps with intra/post etc. I do have non mandatory practices that I will be starting soon that run roughly 2.5 hours long followed by lifting so if there isnt a specific way that Im told to run this, I may use 1 scoop twice daily. Otherwise standard for me thus far was 1 scoop intra workout!
Thats about everything you need to know thats special. I chose the Strawberry Limeade flavor because it sounded delicious and absolutely was
How about we get into my first and second workout that I used with this? Also it is to be noted that I train for strength and full body power. I olympic lift 3 days a week, generally do a squat 3-4 days and so I will take all the recovery I can get!

Now tomorrow I may be taking the day off but I will update this log every day regardless of if I workout or not. BUT I will only be taking AminOD on days that I workout/practice so Im not wasting!
Well, I think thats everything I could say in a first post! ANy questions? Just ask!
