A big thank you to LG for giving me the opportunity to give this a 1 month go round. I am very excited to be adding this to my current mix, which consists of the following:
ATW WPI (2x per day)
Gut Health
Iron Tek Glutamine (I am a huge proponent of adding this to my ATW shakes)
Swell (as I feel needed)

My workout schedule looks the following:
7 days a week fasted early am cardio

Monday: Chest (sometimes back dependant on schedule)
Tuesday: no lifting
Wednesday: Shoulders
Thursday: Back
Friday: Arms
Saturday: Shoulders
Sunday: Back

I have done many logs here in the past, so they can act as a nice guide to how I log. I try to update daily, and be as thorough and honest as possible. Additionally, I have been on a cut (recently modified a tad) since July, and am down from 223lbs to 192lbs.

I will update this log next once the product arrives, most likely today or tomorrow, as I believe LG said it was going out this past Monday.

I am going to keep doing my modified cut. Early on I did not allow myself at least 1 cheat meal a week, which since the end of october I have begun to allow myself.

Also, nothing received in todays mail, as an fyi

I am happy to say that as I was preparing to leave for the gym, the UPS man showed up and had a nice surprise for me. Major props to the folks at LG for getting this here so quickly

I mixed it up and started drinking on the way in to the gym.
First impressions:
Mixed very easily. Which surprised me a great deal. Normally products of this ilk do not mix well and stay clumped at the bottom. No clump at all. I also will admit I am always concerned about the taste of fruit flavored supps. However, this was not overpowering at all, which is the best compliment I can give it.

I finished drinking it at the start of my lift, which is most likely how I will dose it.

Here was my back workout for this afternoon, which was then followed by ATW WPI Cinnabun :)

Neutral Grip BTN pulldowns (5 sets) 180lbs
Barn doors (5 sets) 100lbs
Cobra pulldowns (5 sets) 140lbs
Close grip rear facing pulldowns (5 sets) 135lbs
Back extensions (5 sets) 190lbs
Inverted rows (5 sets)

Felt very good as usual. Nothing crazy to report after the first dose. Tomorrow will be am fasted cardio, and an afternoon of arms.

I was happy with hte flavor. As I aid before I am always so concerned with fruit flavors, and have tried other things that are overwhelming, which is a bad thing. This was subtle

I completely understand that and know what your saying! I cant say ive really tried a "bad" flavored BCAA blend but i will say they are either gritty, or like with purple wraath its sorta "thick". Im excited to try ours for sure though.

I erred on the side of caution and probably put in around 14oz of water, which made it more to my liking, however it went down nicely and didnt have a "shake" feel to it

Thats good. Leave any type of after taste at all? How is it so far taste wise compared to Xtend or any of the other Bcaa blends?

It did not leave any aftertaste, although I burped a little later during dinner, and blue rasperry coupled with eggs was interesting.

Well if it is any consolation, it seems to be worth the wait.

Some early morning fasted cardio (treadmill):
40 minutes 15% 4.7-5.8mph

got a good sweat going, will be using my next dose this afternoon as a pre-intra workout drink

Well my trainer (5.5 year old daughter) and I just got back from the gym, infact she cried when I told her that she couldnt come, so I felt she needed to be there

Shoulders:
Seated press (8 sets) 205lbs
Arny Presses (4 sets) 70lbs
DB laterals (12 sets) 3 giant sets with 40,30,20,10lbs
Reverse peck deck (5 sets) 90lbs

Hell of a pump, and the trainer was yelling at me to work harder. Kinda funny

Had my BC+EAA prior to lifting. It is amazing how quickly it mixes.

hhmmm im not sure if this would raise body temp or not. Could possibly be from your body rapidly utilizing the aminos. Im unsure though.

Yeah I agree, light, controlled and smooth, great pumps from it. It's funny, I always thought it was a crap looking exercise then tried it myself and was much better than DB's for me.

With my schedule for hte day in limbo I decided to lift this am

Bike:
25 minutes 8% incline

Chest:
Incline BP (8 sets) 225lbs 8 reps
Incline DB BP (4 sets) 80lbs
Flat Flys (5 sets) 40lbs
Decline BP (5 sets) 225lbs

Got a hell of a pump and was quite fatigued. If I have time I will hit some cardio later this afternoon.

Dosed prior to workout as normal. Nothing to note today outside of the ordinary. My weight is up, although I dont notice any major changes. I weighed in fully dressed at 197, which probably leaves me at 195

Yeah I am considering dosing 2x and seeing what happens, either take a double dose PWO or once PWO and again some other time...perhaps PRe or during.
