Irish Cannon Gets Unnatural, Naturally - Part 1: PAL's Anabolic Edge (sponsored)

**Irish Cannon** · 08-20-2008, 10:39 PM

Much thanks to Palo Alto Labs for sponsoring this log. This is the second log I have done for them, and it is always an honor to work with this company and to use their products.

In Part 1 of my log, I will be logging Palo Alto Lab's Anabolic Edge. This will be the beginning of my comparison log between Anabolic Edge and Controlled Labs Blue Gene. That log (Part 2) will immediately follow this log, and I will be reviewing both supplements for their effects and stacking potential (which I believe is going to be the next big thing).

Training:

My training schedule is somewhat elaborate. I have my entire body split up into two workouts, branching from those two splits I have a total of four workouts; a low-rep day (3-6reps), and a high-rep day (10-15reps) for each muscle group. I label my workouts as A1, B1, A2, and B2. Specifics:

A1 (High-rep): Chest/Hams/Arms/Calves

Chest: (Superset working sets)

Cable X-over: 2 warmups, 4 working sets
Incline DB Press: 4 working sets

Hams:

Kneeling Leg Curl: 2 warmups, 4 working
Good mornings: 4 working

Arms: (Superset all sets)

Overhead tricep press: 2 warmup, 4 working
Preacher curl: 2 warmup, 4 working

Calves:

Standing Calf Raise: 4 sets

B1 (High rep): Quads/Delts/Back/Traps

Quads:

Leg extensions: 2 warmup, 4 working
Squats: 2 warmup, 4 working

Delts: (Superset working sets)

DB Lateral Raises: 2 warmup, 4 working
DB Reverse Grip Front Raises: 4 working

Quads: Squats- 2 warmup, 4 working

Delts: Seated DB Press - 2 warmup, 4working

Back: Close Grip Pullup (weighted) - 2 warmup, 4 working

Traps: Rack Shrugs- 4 working

I lift three days a week, which means that each muscle group gets worked twice a week every other weeks. Example:

Week 1
Mon:A1
Wed:B1
Fri:A2

Week2
Mon:B2
Wed:A1
Fri:B1

My cardio days are Tue/Thur, and I do one hour of cardio at moderate intensity. I usually do 20min/20/20 on Stairmill/Treadmill/Spin Bike. The treadmill is done at 15% incline and 3.3mph.

I recieved my bottle of Anabolic Edge in the mail today, and will be starting near the end of August. I have just a little bit left on my LG Sciences log, and I will get this ball rolling by the end of the week.

I will be taking the higher dose of Anabolic Edge (AE), meaning I will be taking 6 caps daily spread out evenly through the day.

Any questions or comments are always welcome.

Thanks again to everyone that made this possible.

Clean abs, big Flip'n Wheels and a terrific back. Your quads are exceptional.

This isn't meant to be derogatory, but you really "look" Irish.

I take ALL of that as a complement! Haha.

Thanks for dropping in guys. It should be a great log.

As for the clean abs, I'd really like to get them "cleaner" if at all possible. Genetically, I'm gifted with fat over the bottom part of my abdomen and it is a real pain to get rid of. I've done it, but I have to be really lean to get rid of it. Hopefully I can take care of that in the next month. Back when I shaved, I looked a lot leaner, but my skin is real sensative and I got sick of dealing with razor burn and everything that comes with shaving.

eff shaving...you show off that irish body hair we're so famous for, haha

The fuzz adds to the Irish'ness. Your back is surprisingly big. I wouldn't have projected that your back was as wide & thick as it is, judging by your front shots. I don't mean that in a bad way, it just surprised me, from the front you look very fit, from the back you look very bodybuilder (quads too, obviously), by front I'm just talking about the torso, your quad development is solid.

Subbed, Luck on the product mate. I cant wait to start mine myself.

Hahah. Ya, I don't mind so much anymore.

I forgot to add that I usually have one cheat meal a weak. They have been getting more and more timid recently because I'm just getting bored with them. I've found ways to be completely content eating healthy food and just spicing it up a little. This Friday we are having a going-away-party for a guy my bro works with. We're going to a local pub and I'll probably have a steak-burger and a half-gallon of porter. That will probably be my last indulging meal until around the end of September when I go to a concert in Baton Rouge.
