A log by jaymdubbs

What is Blue GENE™ ?


Serving Size: 5 Tabs (5950mg)
Servings Per Container: 30

• Controlled Release Formula
• Stimulant Free Endurance and Stamina
• Natural / Legal Power and Performance
• Optimize Natural Hormone Levels and Recovery

Designed to help the serious athlete optimize mitochondrial biogenesis, hormone level ratios, and support oxygen rich blood cells during athletic performance and recovery, this stimulant-free formula means more endurance, power, and better recovery without pro-hormones or grey area compounds. No hormones means no post-cycle therapy, depression, or other risks associated with exogenous hormonal ingestion.

Cissus is a natural, cutting-edge anti-cortisol / anti-catabolic compound that has taken the supplement industry by storm. While more research is needed on the exact mechanism of it's anti-catabolic activity, we do know that the phytoconstituents are active and effective, improving the healing rate of tendons and ligaments (tendons and ligament function is essential for weightlifting strength and form). Acting as a natural glucocorticoid antagonist, Cissus may also have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.

Carnitine was added to the formula for it's numerous benefits, including recovery from intense training and reduced DOMS. When part of a CONTROLLED LABS stack / combo you have the ability to train harder AND more often. Users have reported enhanced energy, alertness, cholesterol levels, and fat utilization leading to a recomp effect. Another mechanism of action may be that carnitine enhances our 100% natural hormone levels during training including insulin-like growth factor.

Carao and Catuaba extracts work in synergy with other ingredients to help the target muscle group receive more oxygen, improving performance and strength. As a bonus, many users report a noticeable increase in libido.

Quercetin and Ginkgo Biloba (used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine) provide a stimulant-free performance boost by increasing oxygen and circulation, giving the serious athlete a unique alternative to stimulant-based products. As a bonus, over time the formula may help support a healthy immune / respiratory system with potent anti-oxidant, anti-viral, and anti-allergen properties. Sodium Bicarbonate acting as a hydrogen buffer, helps reduce fatigue during training and enhance recovery between sets.... experience jitter-free endurance and stamina like never before.

lcariin, Grape Seed Extract, Griffonia Simplicifolia Extract, Apigenin, Luteolin and Niacin work in synergy to help increase bloodflow, natural growth hormone levels, and circulating levels of testosterone while keeping estrogen under control. The formula may even help with cholesterol ratio (cholesterol is the building block for testosterone).

Train harder than ever, push past a plateau, and recover fast.... with Blue GENE™

Day 1 - Chest (8/31/08)

Thoughts: Blasted chest today - no personal bests as I was focusing more on endurance today. Didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary in the gym (to be expected on first dose). Workout was roughly at 3PMish - fast forward to the evening and libido was crazy. Way too early to tell if it is actually BLUE GENE or placebo, but whatever it was it was great. Will take note and update as this log continues.

Looks good man. I'll be watching this one.

Day 2- Back/Bis (9/1/08)

Thoughts: Back and Bis - I have begun to not look forward to back days as much, due to the pain in my lower back - I only really notice it when doing a lot of weight with stiff-legged deadlifts. I def. am not throwing on as much weight as I used to - possibly a chronic strain or weak core muscles surrounding the area. I will begin to do more exercises to further strengthen my core (already pretty strong) to see if that can alleviate some of the strain on my back.

Repeat performance in the libido department. Again, too early to tell if its placebo or the BLUE GENE already taking effect.

Thanks for taking the time - I love the profile of the product

[RenegadeRows]

Nice, subb'd!!!

[jakellpet]

Blue Gene on the radar - subbbbbed...

Day 3- Shoulders/Legs

Thoughts: I opted to for a higher volume workout today was my back was a little sore from jumping on trampoline yesterday. Shoulders felt good, but was reluctant to put strain on it.

Despite the slight pain, I was able to still nail out a decent leg workout (again, higher volume) while watching the pressure on my back.

Overall, a decent workout, but I didnt notice anything out of the ordinary from the BG yet, as my normal stack of GM, WF, PW is fairly baseline now -

I should note that I have been running this stack for a while now, and I am fairly certain I will be able to discern if and WHEN the BLUE GENE starts affecting my workouts positively.

So far, no increased performance to speak of (besides libido). Stay tuned

[RenegadeRows]

For sure! At least the libido department is goin strong

Day 4 (9/3/08)

Chest/Tris

Thoughts: Unfortunately I wasnt able to workout as much as I would have liked to today - today was my fiancee's birthday and I got out of work late, so I had to make it quick - again I wanted to stress higher volume/endurance workout today, but had to shorten it to a High Intensity 5x5 with bench, incline, decline, flyes, dips, tri extensions, kickbacks and skull crushers -

strength was good - for bench, I usually alternate between chest workouts between the barbell and machine - so I can work the different angles and approach the lifts a little differently everytime (for instance, negatives and dropsets are a little easier and more efficent with the machine, but I get a better range of motion and TUT with free weights) it also depends on the pain threshold I have in my shoulder - today I was repping 315 on the machine - at this point i cant add any more weight as that is the entire stack - at some point I may need to completely go to barbell for a decent chest workout (unless I begin working on volume more frequently).

I will say that I didnt feel as fatigued as I normally do while lifting, and that was even having my protein shake at 3 and not working out until 6:30 (not the smartest thing, I know, but I usually am able to hit the gym by 5 or 5:30)

Overall - Have not noted much of a difference (only Day 4)

[jaymdubbs]

Back/Bis

Thoughts: Today was one of those days I was psyched to workout and "had a pump" just thinking about working out (not really, but I know everyone knows the mindset).

I forgot to cook my lunch last night, so I had some peanut butter mixed with 2 scoops of chocolate whey - pretty damn delicious.

For some reason I felt very "depleted", despite the mindset I was in. Sometimes, I actually enjoy this feeling as I know the effects of White Flood will be amplified when I feel this way.

So today was back day - my second favorite day, and today I wanted to mix strength and endurance in my workout, so I warmed up with 8 sets of 10 wide grip pull ups. Wasnt feeling fatigued - I could have gone with sets of 15, but I wanted to conserve some energy for my back extensions and lat pulldowns (wanted to attempt 5 rep max today and finish 5th rep strong) at 225.

And I did it - typically I have to scale my warm up to allow me to hit the lat pulldowns at that weight, but not today. I honestly feel day 5 on Blue Gene is too early to tell anything, but again, I am eating at maintainence - recovery and endurace is as good as its ever been (if not better)

Libido is still crazy - wish the fiancee wasnt working so much lately hahaha

Tomorrow is off day (Friday).


Here is a random picture of the day:

Anytime I need a good laugh, just look for Jean Claude -

Day 5 (9/5/08)Off

Thoughts: Not much to talk about today - didnt work out. Took the fiancee to dinnner. Recovery has been great as well.

Again, I have noticed positive a difference in libido.

[jaymdubbs]

Day 6 (9/6/08)Shoulders/Legs

Thoughts: Pretty good workout today. I felt like I had a lot of energy, and I literally was blowing through sets today. Capped it off with some jump rope, heavy bag work, and HIIT and I was spent.



Day 7 (9/7/08)Off
Thoughts: Wasnt feeling too great today (def. sick) so I decided to rest up today. Back at it tomorrow (Monday)
