Maurice02's Sponsored Controlled Labs Blue Stack (Blue GENE/Blue UP)

[maurice02]

So, my Controlled Labs Blue Gene/Blue Up stack has arrived.

Lets start with the basics.

Real name is Joe, 28, about 5'10 and currently weighing around 212. I will be taking my weight daily and recording through the log.

As for my bodyfat, I have no friggin clue LoL. There will be before and after pics.

I had worked out heavily from 20 - 23 years old. I had a hiatus from 23 - 25 and went up to 255 pounds....BAD. Started up hard for the past 3 years and plan on going hard from here on forth. I have managed to get my strenght up by previously running two cycles (hdrol and havoc).

Currently I am doing a CKD. My original intentions were to get down from the 232 I was to about 200. Looking in the mirror though, I think I am going to have to shoot closer to 190ish to have the physique I am looking for.

Cardio is usually on the ARC machine after each workout.....ranging from 20 - 30 min and according to the machine I usually squeeze out between 350 and 550 calories.

Workout will be 4 - 5x a week broken out as chest, back/deads, arms, shoulders/traps and legs will be either on shoulders or legs day, though I am leaning towards shoulders more.

For this log, my daily supplements will be as follows:

Blue UP - 2 in the AM
Blue GENE - 5 prior to workout or on non-workout days taken in the afternoon
Fish oil - 6 grams per day
Centrum Multivitamin
Xtend
Leucine
ATW protein shakes (typically 3 on workout days and 2 on non workout days)
I have been taking Jacked Preworkout but I think I am going to go back to one of my favs, which is the Xyience NoxCG3.....since it is non stim.

I will be holding off my stim usage while on this cycle to get an accurate feel for both Blue Gene and Blue Up and relying on practically just these two to keep my strength/motivation up while attempting to cut down.

I will be monitoring my libido, aggresiveness, energy, sense of well being, strength, mass gains, vascularity, etc...

I have noticed that I am starting to struggle with my higher end flat bench DB presses and I think that will give me an accurate assessment of how this stack works. After my cycle of Havoc I was able to put up 110x6.....then down to 105's, and now 100x8 and the last two are a struggle.

I am looking forward to see how Blue UP/Blue GENE works for those of us on a CKD cut since summer is coming up. My hopes are that I can maintain my strength and muscle while losing excess fat.

I will be more than likely starting my log Sunday or Monday. It depends what day I start my workout routine this coming week.

starter pics. Weight is about 212. Not sure what I should try to cut for? 190ish?????? I dropped from 232 and feel like I lost some size as well though.

BF% - NO CLUE LOL

Not great at posing but here we go.

[maurice02]

Alrighty, final review time. Better late than never LoL.

I dropped from 212 to 198 on this and am currently back hovering at 205.
The only negatives experienced with this were that I was VERY sensitive to the yohimb in blue up in the beginning. I advise that if you use it you need to wean yourself on it if you have not used the yohimb before.

Now for the good stuff.....

During this I aimed to cut sticking with a keto diet. In the past, I have always lost strenght during a keto diet. This was not the case while ON the blue combo. I could feel Blue Gene kick in after the first set or so at the gym. It was a nice pump feeling. Muscle hardness. It was also a non stimmed feeling which was nice to have. I wasn't getting all pumped up and jittery....but more along the lilnes of pumped and feeling mentally and physically good. I was able to focus very well.

The biggest thing I took from this cycle and still have to this day is the following:
- previously I used to take about 1 hour to bang out six or so back exercises. I brought it down to 40 minutes while on the blue combo and to this day still get in and out a lot quicker. The same goes for chest. I would usually wait 2 or 3 minutes between sets. Now I can do the same amount of weight and practically wait a minute or so between sets.
- Overall, I would advise this to increase recovery time. I was honestly shocked at the end when I would look at the clock and realize I was only in there for about 35 - 45 min each day. and still lost weight!

I would give this an 8/10. Only reason is that I got a bit stimmed in the beginning, but next time I would use the non stim version.
I would highly recommend bridging this into a PCT. While your test levels are getting back to normal, I personally think this would allow (obviously a test boooster though) you to keep your stamina and strength.

Thank you again for the opportunity.

beginning pics updated......starting Sunday or Monday

Morning weight 210.6

Day 1 was yesterday.
I woke up, popped 2 Blue UP, got my gym clothes on, took 5 Blue Gene, chugged my Xyience, made my Xtend and headed to the gym.

I felt really stimmed out yesterday unfortunately. I had to cut my workout short due to sweating, rapid heartbeat, and just not feeling right.

I can't give much of a review thus based on yesterday. It was chest day and I only did flat dumbell and flat bench and left.

DAY 2 is today.
Morning weight 210.8
Got up at 6:30, took my Blue UP and off to work. I have concluded that the Blue UP is making me a bit jittery/anxious. I spoke to Renegade about it. It is most likely the Yohimbe. It is nice to feel "woken up" after taking it though, but I am going to start waiting till I get to work and taking it with food to ease the effects of it.

I manually checked my resting pulse and it looks to be about 68. I was running up and down the stairs and pulse elevated pretty quickly though. I definitely can't take this before the gym but dosing in the AM should hopefully be good since I workout PM.

Tonight is back and deads.......will report back later!

Yeah dose the Blue UP with food. Yohimb on an empty stomach can cause it's effects to be exagerrated. Also I am concerned what is in the Xyience? If the Xyience contains L-Tyrosine or Tyramine you shouldn't dose that and Blue UP unless a few hours apart.

Ok, it doesn't contain any of that. You'll be all set

Let me know how taking Blue Up in morning affects the rest of your day. I'm considering taking both up/gene pre w/o around 3pm. I have yet to decide. I would like to get the full energy kick for my w/o.

no worries. To me, just gauging off today, it feels the most potent between 1 - 2 hours after taking it. I took it about 4 hours ago and still feel....hmmm....I guess kinda like that euphoric feeling in the head sorta.....but I think am not feeling as "anxious/stimmed" really.

It will take a few days to get used to the Yohimb, but once you do, you'll like it alot ...

So do you think it would be a good kick taking an hour or 2 pre workouts. OR do you think benefits are greater for mornings with elevated test levels?

You can experiment and see which one you prefer... I like the boost in the morning and then the clean energy from Blue GENE pre workout

Man i cant wait Maurice!
