Controlled Labs Blue Stack - Day 1

Training

Today was back/traps. Hit the workout around 4pm, finished by 5pm, and topped it off with 30 minutes of LIC.

1) Deadlift - 3x6
2) Pullups - 3x6
3) Pendlay Rows - 3x10
4) BB Shrugs - 3x10
5) DB Shrugs - 3x10

Diet

Today was a perfectly run workout day, as per the 2nd post in this thread. No cheats, measured everything -- excellent!

Supplementation and Comments:

So today was my first day on the stack... and it didn't start off very well. As per instructions, I took 2 pills of Blue Up first thing in the morning -- I woke up, took my two pills, went to shower, then got breakfast about 40 minutes later. At first there was nothing different.. but then around 1.5-2 hours later I got a horrible headache. Except that I never, ever get headaches.. and the only difference in my routine was the 2 pills of Blue Up. About an hour later I noticed my heart was absolutely racing, and the headache had intensified.

I decided to measure my blood pressure, as I was keeping track of it for the past 8 weeks or so while I was on the EC stack. I've never had a problem with it, always around 120/70.. except today it was 155/95. And my resting heart rate, which usually hovers around 60BPM was up to 89BPM. Yikes.

I think this was due to the stims in Blue Up. On the EC stack I was doing 600mg Caffeine/day, but I gradually moved up to that. I've been completely off stims for 2 weeks, so I don't think it was the best idea to start out right away with 2 pills on an empty stomach in the morning. Tomorrow, I'll try 1 pill in the AM with food, hopefully it'll make a difference.. if I don't get the adverse symptoms, I'll pop the 2nd pill later on in the day.

As for Blue Gene -- I only took 1 pill today to "assess tolerance" like it suggests on the bottle. Didn't notice anything during my workout, but obviously this was only 1/5th of the dose. Tomorrow I'll bump up to 5 pills. By the time of my workout (4pm) the headache was gone and BP was back down.

Also, I've got an exam tomorrow and a problem set this week for a big economics class.. so I'll post up my diet and workout routine and pics and all this weekend.

Yea, we've all had the headache it seems. Only, Blue Up didn't do this to me until day 4 and on??? I tried 1 pill morning, then another later, and that seems to have worked. I just jumped head first into Blue Gene at 5 tabs on first day.

thanks man.

[FlawedGrunt]

Wooooooo! Vadox makes his Triumphant return! I was starting to worry about ya buddy!

Tomorrow, I'll try 1 pill in the AM with food, hopefully it'll make a difference.. if I don't get the adverse symptoms, I'll pop the 2nd pill later on in the day.

Rows and I discussed this in Maurices thread as well. If you are stim sensitive it may be beneficial to you to try and dose it as you put. Start with 1 cap twice a day (the 2nd one early afternoon) and then after a couple days see if you can take it to 2 in the morning.

Also it might not be so much that you are STIM SENSITIVE because obviously you can stand the ECA but the Yohimbine in Blue up is definitely a different animal. It raises BP and heart rate quite a bit as you saw and it actually is very efficient at attacking stubborn fat cell receptors, it actually attacks the receptors that ECA doesnt. Like the ones in your love handles, lower back, and thighs... the stubborn as$ shxt

Anyways glad to see youre back! SUBBED. I linked you and guys in my log as well. I start monday

[RenegadeRows]

Great start, vadox.

I think dosing with the food will definitely help in this case. You can also split it up 1 & 1 if you need to.

[maurice02]

Yeah totally think the 1 and 1 is beneficial......plus a lot of water. 2 pills knocks me on my ass with a high heart rate........

Controlled Labs Blue Stack - Day 2

Training

Off Day! Nothing to report

Diet

Diet was ****ty, I didnt get enough calories in at the start of the day because I had to pull an almost all-nighter last night and didn't have time to go to the dining hall to grab food while I was studying for my exam.

Supplementation and Comments:

Dosing was good today. Even though it was a bit of a crazy day and I only managed 5 hours of sleep, I felt not too bad overall. Took my first pill of Blue Up WITH a meal this time around 8:30am.. and didn't notice the same effects as yesterday. Ended up taking the 2nd one around noon, and felt fine the rest of the day. I also popped the 5 pills of Blue Gene before that exam I was studying for.. and about an hour and a half later I noticed that I was kinda weirdly zoned out and spoke in a much quieter tone than I regularly do (I'm usually f'ing loud!! ) Also, everything seemed somehow.. ...mellow. It was strange. I'm attributing it to the combination of lack of sleep + stims in Blue Up though, but who knows, maybe it was from the Blue Gene *shrugs*. I guess tomorrow we'll see as I have a workout and will go for the proper dosage 60min prior to.

I'm normally a mellow guy, but i've noticed when i'm on a test booster, I get even more mellow and focused.

[natty texan]

I'm really looking forward to seeing how this treats you though. I'm trying to do some test booster research.

Blue Up is up there for sure! I've used it on a few occasions. I love a high dose of it. I can't wait to stack some with T-911.

Controlled Labs Blue Stack - Day 3

Training

Chest Day! As follows:

1) Bench Press - 3x8
2) Incline Dumbbell Press - 3x8
3) Dips - 3x6
4) Shoulder Press - 3x9
5) Lateral Raise - 3x10

..I'll edit the numbers into these guys on the weekend

Diet

Diet was ok.. Followed everything, but had too many of my protein bars, as I missed the dining hall open hours -- ended up substituting 2 meals with bars! Yikes. Also off to a hockey game later today, so I won't be able to eat for about 4 hours during the time *shrugs*

Supplementation and Comments:

Note to self: do NOT workout 20 minutes after a huge breakfast. I slept in today and had to have an early morning workout as opposed to a noon-ish workout. So I ended up running to the dining hall for breakfast, and then right after to the gym.. maybe 20-30 minutes elapsed in between. When I got to the Incline press I thought I was going to puke.. I was soo f'ing full. Combine that with the 2L of Xtend that I had to down during the workout and it was horrible.

Dosed 1 Blue Up with breakfast, 5 Blue Gene right when I woke up (so about 40 minutes before breakfast and 60 min before my workout), and then 1 more Blue Up right before I started my workout. Got a bit jittery and strangely zoned out during the workout -- I think it was the combination of a full stomach + all the pills in the Blue Stack taken within a 90 minute time frame. I think I'm going to stick with 1 Blue Up w/breakfast and then the next one around noon with lunch.

Didn't manage to get my cardio in today (I do LIC post-workout for 20-30 min) because I had to run to class Going to hop to the gym tomorrow on my off day and run a bit instead

Dosing one blue up early AM and then one BY 2 PM works for me......just make sure you keep your water intake up.

Controlled Labs Blue Stack - Day 4

Training

Off Day! Went for a run though.. it was rainy and nice

Diet

Diet was good, matched my daily macro requirements.

Supplementation and Comments:

*really* slept in today. Planning to get up at 7:30, ended up sleeping through all my classes and waking up at 1pm. I guess that's the good thing about not having any roommates -- nobody to wake you up when you sleep in! (old roommates used to do it all the time..*******s)

Ended up taking 2 pills of Blue Up at 1pm. Didn't want to spread out the dosage because I wanted to get to sleep tonight. Felt weirdly stimmed out for the next few hours -- not overly pleasant.

Although I did have a whole bunch of energy. And my mood was fantastic this whole week. Probably a combination of nice, warm weather and going on a calorie-surplus for the first time in 5 months Don't really know how much to attribute the better mood to the Blue Stack. However, the last time I remember feeling like this was last summer, when it was also nice and sunny out and I was also eating a calorie surplus. So.. after thinking it through, I don't really think I can attribute the mood-boost to the Blue Stack.

Had so much energy that I couldn't wait to get outside and go for a run. Only started cardio 4 weeks ago (hated it before). buut, on this stack I couldnt wait to get outside and spend my energy. Maybe this energy was also a result of the huge amount of sleep I got.. but maybe it was due to the Blue Up?? We'll see as the log continues..!

Took 5 pills of Blue Gene about an hour before my run. Didn't really notice anything. Once again I felt great the entire run, maybe because of the change in weather.. but maybe because of the Blue Stack.

One last note: I managed to get lost for a few hours during my run. Originally I was planning for running for about 30 minutes in a direction away from campus I haven't been to before.. but ended up taking a few weird turns and then trudging myself back to campus 3 hours later o_0

Blue Gene gave me an excellent mood boost! Not saying that that's what's definitely doing it, but I don't doubt it's adding to your already happy state of mind.

Agreed. Life f'ing rules

Controlled Labs Blue Stack - Day 5

Training

Leg Day! Went fantastic:

1) Squat - 10xBase/8xBase/6xBade
2) SLDL - 10xBase/10xBase/10xBase
3) Leg Extensions - 10x230/10x230/10x230 (maxing the freaking machine.. would love to add 20-30lb's on top of the "230" -- in quotations because I doubt I'm actually moving 230lb's, but that's what the machine says *shrugs*)
4) Leg Curls - 8xBase/9xBase/9xBase
5) DB Lunges - 7xBase/10xBase/8xBase

Diet

Diet was good except I think I overindulged on the peanut butter. Going to edit it into the 1st post right after I finish this post

Supplementation and Comments:

Weather was cloudy today and I didn't really get to see the sun so my mood wasn't as good as yesterday. I've realized I love the sun -- going to look to work somewhere where it's sunny as much as possible once I graduate college (3 more years!)

Took 1 Blue Up in the AM ~9am, next one before workout with a TB of PB (so it's not on an empty stomach) around noon. No more headaches to report of, no weird "stimmed-out" feeling either. I think I found my dosage!

Took 5 Blue Genes around 11:30am before I went to shower + workout. Did get a slight feeling of "mellowness", but more than that I've noticed a new effect that I can attribute to BG: about 45min after I take it I get this funky sensation -- kind of like that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you're talking to that girl you really like (lol sounding like puberty education here) -- but seriously, that's the only way to describe it. And once I get it, I can't wait to hit the weights/run/spend my energy. I've noticed this the past few days after taking BG, so there's that.

No increases in aggression/acne to report of so far..

EDIT: Diet/Workout Program are now up. 2nd post

Controlled Labs Blue Stack - Day 6

Diet

Diet was good. Hit 20 min LIC post-workout

Supplementation and Comments:

Gym was good, felt good. Blue Up dosed at 10am and 1pm. Blue Gene 1 hour before workout. Got that feeling of excitement in my gut again 45 minutes after taking Blue Gene. Hit the gym pretty hard. Can't wait for the str increases!
