Hello,
I applied for a chance to log BulletProof, MusclePharm's sleep and recovery formula, and was fortunate to be chosen to do so. For more information on BulletProof, follow this link:
Musclepharm: Pre Workout Matrix
Essentially, I will be using BulletProof in hopes to speed recovery, which in turns will yield faster progression. I have been an avid CrossFitter since Spring of last year, and I'm currently following the mainsite workouts (Crossfit.com) for the most part. Progress is, ideally, continual, but sometimes that can be subjective. So I have been paying due attention towards repeating certain "benchmark" workouts, or at the very least comparing similiar workouts in how they felt/went.
I currently follow a strict Paleo diet, which is short for "Paleolithic". Eat like a caveman... "Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar." No grains, no processed foods. The one borderline exception I have has been sweet potatoes, which is a gray area. Have been incorporating those into my diet for glycogen replenishment in the mornings and after workouts.
My training schedule, generally speaking, is 3 days on/1 day off. Rinse repeat. Some days I'll stretch it to 4 on, but very rarely 5. If I bomb a workout, or changeup a workout into a skill day (low intensity), this is often the reason why I'll push past my normal guideline of 3 on/1 off. In CrossFit, that has been the ideal programming for the masses.
With that said, I will be dosing BulletProof on my workout days. I tried out BulletProof last night, and I was very impressed to say the least. Placebo or not, I felt locked on today. Woke up groggy, as if I could fall back asleep for several more hours very easily, but within 5-10 minutes... I was wide awake and really ready for the day. I'm assuming that was just shaking off the remnants of the sleep inducing ingredients, which really helped to spur a deep, recooperative sleep. Today was my off day, so I will not be dosing tonight.
Shoot me any questions that arise.
