If anyone has any questions or wants to query something please post away. I'm open to criticism and convo about everything.

 

[CJ_Xfit89]

Food for thought?

best time to apply XI-KT?
post training in AM or pre bed after a 2nd shower?

 

[jbryand101b]

If those are the options, I guess pre bed.

 

[PARASXOS]

no pre bed,due to cortisol.its best consumed/applied morning or a liitle later.

Op works out in am. You want the cortisol response from working out.

So Applying it in the morning before he works out, or after, is counter productive.

Subbed.

What would be the issue with apply pwo? If you could give a small gap (say 30min or so) wouldn't that be sufficient?

You want the cortisol response from training. The other times of the day are cool.

Best would be a diurnal saliva test to show you cortisol patterns throughout the day. Then you would know when's best to apply.

Day 2 - 2/6/2014

Warm up:
1 lap inchworms
1 lap bear crawls
10 jumping lunges

Strength (18mins)
Back Squat 5-5-3-3-1

Worked up to 155kg x 1

Felt good. Could have pushed the 160kg but after coming off the flu and a bad throat, I was pleased with this effort.

WOD: Box gone bad (our version of fight gone bad)
5 stations = 1 circuit
3 rounds, 1 minute rest after each 5 stations

Perform 1 exercise (as many reps as possible in that minute) of the following:
24kg KB swings (American style)
9kg wall ball (10ft target)
burpees (not your typical spastic burpee but a full push up burpee and jump/hip release at start position)
20" box jumps
Row (calories)

Do this circuit, rest 1 minute, repeat again, rest 1 minute and go again
I completed the following reps each circuit
114/115/108
total = 337 reps

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC19O4cgvp4 is a demo of what this WOD is normally but it was modified.


Oly Lifting

Front Squat 74kg x 4
85kg x 4
90 x 3 x 3

Power Snatch 42kg x 4
46kg x 4
50kg x 3 x 3

Power Clean & Jerk (Split) 51kg (4+1)
55kg (4+1)
66kg (3+1) x 3
I.e. do 3 power cleans and on the 4th P.C when in the rack position, you split jerk.


Cliffs:

Diet - great. Carbs (berries) post workout - breakfast and 100g sweet potato just then for dinner to help with cortisol and sleep (serotonin levels). Protein was just right and had my fats. Will weigh in tomorrow.

I had a pump just after the warm up started today. biceps were swelling very quickly.

Dosed 15mg tri pre training (5:!5am)
15mg 6pm
just done my 1ml dose XI-KT over my chest and clavicle/shoulders.

Had 2 scoop superpump max and 1 scoop focus XT caff free pre workout with 1 norco and 2 amentomax. Just the right amount of stim but will ease off the stim in weeks 2 and beyond to combat any BP issues.

On a side note, been pissing a lot today. Drank 1.2 gallons water ~ 5ish litres.

Dosed cycle assist 4 am/4 pm spread 10 hours apart.

Loving the veins already. I could already see my abs quiet well but my lower 2 are lagging slightly so I will love to see what XI-KT can do in this regard to really clean me up will triumphalis increases my strength and helps me drop some bodyfat.

 

[BlumpkinKing]

You will love the KT will clean you up nicely. Gave me decent energy as well.

 

[CJ_Xfit89]

I noticed this already. slightly euphoric about 1r post application last night

 

[CJ_Xfit89]

solid weight movement and metcon time.

about 450g chicken and 150g broccoli at lunch. absolutely smashed it.

Low carb today. Tomorrow is sushi so refeed to replenish glycogen.

Weight was down today as noted above.

 

[Misfit28]

In for the results.

Guess I've been using the XI-KT wrong then, as I apply it after my workout. I seem to be getting good results regardless, and my strength seems to be maintaining or gaining, and I am getting leaner in the process.

 

[808shredded]

I'm in. Does norcodrene have amentomax already. If so , how much amentomax you take a day. Any anxiety issues?

 

[CJ_Xfit89]

2 caps amentomax
1 cap norcodrene.

great stuff!!!

no anxiety

really starting to see some strength gains. My old 1RM was 155kg. 33lb increase just over 3 weeks (1 week and 2 days into stack).

really really happy. starting to get some veins in lower obliques. Aggression is starting to surface so I need to be careful. Alpha male in the gym though.

Food is on point. carb cycling. 2 days low, 1 day medium, 1 day high. 3 days low, 1 high, rinse and repeat.

enjoying life, work and training at the moment.

Op works out in am. You want the cortisol response from working out.

So Applying it in the morning before he works out, or after, is counter productive.

Isn't the cortisol rise, after the workout, negative? Catabolic and fat-retaining?

 

[CJ_Xfit89]

no. It helps with growth and repair. you want to modulate cortisol later afternoon and pre bed.

in for this also.

I love Triumph and XI-KT is such a nice feel-good compound with very nice leaning effects. This should be a great run.
