I will be starting HGHUP this afternoon and will keep a tally on the following:

Sleep
Mental Alertness/Focus
Energy
Motivation
Mood/Aggression
Stress
Libido
Joints
Endurance
Strength
Quality of Training
Pump and Vascularity
Muscle Hardness/Density
Body Composition and Look
Appetite
Overall Sense of Feeling

I will be dosing 3 caps pre workout, 3 caps pre bed on training days, and on non training days will take 6 caps pre bed (depending on how my sleep goes on 3 caps). If need be, I will split the non training days to 3 caps pre breakfast, 3 caps pre bed. I am focusing on a recomp right now but will keep my calories slightly above maintenance. More to come...

1st

Per Lanbane, dosing will be the following: 5 caps a day, every day. 3 before bed, 2 pre-workout or first thing in the am on an empty stomach

Watching, Mark.

Taking my first dose here in about an hour.. excited to start!!

Today's weight is 240.8lbs. I've been cutting from 252lbs trying to get as lean as I can before the wedding, but would like to stick around this weight and not go into the 230's.. so i'm looking for a recomp effect, losing the little bit of fat i have left around the mid-section, and adding some muscle.

Your wedding? If so, congratulations!

Recomping is definitely possible.

Yeah, 3 more weeks to go.. will have some pretty cool pictures from it, Layne Norton is one of my groomsmen and I think we are going to do some most muscular poses as some of the pictures just for fun. The bachelor party is going to be at my gym, we are just going to get everyone together and hit the weights hard since it will be probably the only time in my life where I'll be able to get all of my good friends together and get a lift in.

Sounds like it will be a blast! Layne is a great guy from all accounts (I have a couple of other friends who are friends with him ) Hope it's a great time for all. Weddings really can bring a lot of different people together.

hey tatt im subbed good luck.

on another note, I'm purposely staying out of all of the other HGHUP logs so that I dont start reading/expecting certain things that may not be actually happening (hope that makes sense). The mind is a powerful thing, and I'm trying to look at this spot on and give it a good run.

Off to the gym in another 30 minutes..

10 sets of 10 on squats
resisted lying leg curls
occlusive leg extensions
2 minute calf raises
and 4 sets of abs (high reps 50+ each set)

Will post up my first day review of HGHUP tomorrow morning.

Endurance: N/A
Strength: N/A
Quality of Training: Good
Pump and Vascularity: Normal

* - I felt like crap yesterday, mostly due to weather changes. I wasnt able to eat like I normally did, which would explain the sense of being hungry. Usually for a few days of beginning of fall when the weather changes, I feel like crap. I was able to train, and during training I felt alright. I was not able to sleep very restful last night, not sure of the reasoning yet, but will keep a close eye on this.

Chest/Biceps

4 sets decline DB presses, 15 reps TUT 3/1/3
3 sets incline hammer strength: 12 reps
7 sets decline db flys, 12 reps

low pulley bicep rows, 3 sets 15 reps TUT 3/1/3
db curls, 3 sets 12 reps TUT 3/1/3
4 sets occlusive machine bicep curls

Forgot to add in my supplementation that I am using during this run...

whey protein, fish oil, HyperTrop-X (pre workout), and BCAAs.

Any other questions, just ask. Sorry for the crappy front pic.. i guess he shook the camera when taking the picture. I'll post up a better one next time.

Lookn great Tatt!

hopefully it starts improving for you man, best of luck!

Yeah, the more I read, I think I may have "seasonal migraines" almost feels like having car sickness, but without the car.

Hitting up back and triceps tonight so look for the update tomorrow.

Sleep last night was slightly better than the past few nights, hoping to start feeling the effects of HGHUP pretty soon! Yesterday was a rest day for me, so nothing to report as far as the gym goes.

Day 4:

Sleep: havent slept well all week
Mental Alertness/Focus: normal
Energy: normal
Motivation: normal
Mood/Aggression: a bit more aggressive during workouts
Stress: normal
Libido: normal
Joints: normal
Endurance: normal
Strength: actually lacking a bit
Quality of Training: great
Pump and Vascularity: normal
Muscle Hardness/Density: normal
Body Composition and Look: normal
Appetite: normal
Overall Sense of Feeling: normal

Yesterday was back and triceps. I've noticed a difference when I go into workout with my aggressiveness.

Usually I start out with deadlifts, but some choade was taking up the deadlift station to do 20lb overhead presses.... So we started out with triceps, this could explain the lack of strength during deadlifting, which I will explain.

4 sets 8-10 close grip decline bench
3 sets 8-12 decline skull crushers
7 sets 8-12 overhead rope press

Back:
Last week, I worked up to 530lbs on deadlift, so I was going to drop back to 500lbs with reps today. When I went to lift 500, it wouldnt come off the ground. Needless to say I was pissed, but chalk it up to my workout start getting out of whack. So, we repped out 405lbs to finish (we start at 135lbs and work our way up). Then we hit up 495lb rack deads 2 sets, 405lb rack deads, 2 sets, and finally 315lb rack deads 2 sets. Finished up with 7 sets of cable lat isolators 8-12 reps.

I will be following along as well

Cheers!

awesome.. If you or any other App Rep see any changes I can make to make this run more efficient, please let me know. I worked with Easy with The One and made it a very very successful run of this product.

Weekend update:

Sleep: getting better by the day
Mental Alertness/Focus: same
Energy: same
Motivation: same
Mood/Aggression: slightly more aggressive
Stress: same
Libido: same
Joints: noticing a very very slight difference, will keep an eye on this over the next week more closely.

Today is legs and abs, will give an update on today's training tomorrow morning. Again, any questions just ask. Still on 5 caps per day, 2 (am or pre workout), and 3 pre bed.

subbed bro

Today's weight: 237.8lbs

Yesterday's workout was a bit better than last week. Been feeling a bit weaker from the slight loss in weight, but numbers are still pretty good. Sleep was better last night, and I finally think things are turning around in regards to that. I've been sweating a TON more for some reason lately, not sure why, but by the end of my first exercise, I could wring my shirt out and probably fill a glass.

4 sets squats (225lbsx10)
resisted leg curls
occlusive leg extensions 4 sets of 15
weighted crunches (total of 170)
weighted leg lifts

Sleep is starting to get much better finally, so it is looking up! Yesterdays training went well, had lots of energy, felt pretty strong. Aggression after taking this stuff is very noticeable for me.


Sleep: getting much better as time progresses
Mental Alertness/Focus: same
Energy: same
Motivation: slightly more motivated due to increase in aggression
Mood/Aggression: very noticeable increase in aggression at this point
Stress: same
Libido: same
Joints: same
Endurance: same
Strength: average
Quality of Training: slightly increased due to aggression
Pump and Vascularity: same
Muscle Hardness/Density: same
Body Composition and Look: same
Appetite: same
Overall Sense of Feeling: slightly better than average, alpha feeling like.

Back and triceps yesterday, redeemed my weak day last week and pulled 500lbs easy again. Didnt go above that because I didnt want to mess my back up before next week's deadlift extravaganza.. Here's what the workout looked like:

Deads: 135(warm up reps), 225(warm up reps), 315(warm up reps), 405x6, 500x1
Rack Deads from lowest pin: 455lbs x 4, 405lbs x 8
Hammer strength low row: 4 plates per side 4 sets of 10
Lat pulldown: 7 sets of 12, 180lbs
Decline Skull Crushers: 90lbs 4 sets of 10
Overhead Rope Extension: 180lbs 3 sets of 10
straight bar pushdown: 7 sets 12 120lbs

Yesterday was an off day, but aggression was way up. I felt pretty good all day, and slept very well last night. Finally! Tonight is a hodge podge of parts in the gym, shoulders, abs, calves. Noticed a slight increase in hunger yesterday too, we'll see if that continues throughout or is just an anomaly. Been keeping an eye on the joints, and it seems they feel a bit better, but when I go to lift heavy, they "crunch" which is weird. I will continue to keep an eye on this.

Shoulders, abs, calves yesterday. Workout went great. Really put focus on the mid delt during shoulders. Things are really starting to change for me while using HGHUP. I feel more aggressive as the days progress, a def. alpha male type feeling throughout the day. For the first time yesterday, my muscle bellies feel "full" throughout the day.

Sleep: again, starting to really get better, more restful sleep.
Mental Alertness/Focus: slightly increased
Energy: same
Motivation: slightly increased due to aggression being up
Mood/Aggression: better overall mood, very aggressive
Stress: same
Libido: same
Joints: slightly better than normal
Endurance: same
Strength: same, havent noticed much in terms of strength gains outside of normal progression
Quality of Training: very good, feel very aggressive in the gym
Pump and Vascularity: pretty much the same, however Pump can be felt as muscle bellies feel full throughout the day.
Muscle Hardness/Density: density feels up throughout the day
Body Composition and Look: mid section is starting to lean up a tad more
Appetite: starting to hit a stride, I am finding myself hungry often
Overall Sense of Feeling: great, very alpha male

I have noticed a common denominator with most of the logs- the product seems to kick in somewhere between the 5th and the 9th day- and seems to correspond with increased hunger.....

Had a good chest and biceps workout on Friday, felt a great pump. Rested over the weekend and feel ready to go for this week... Big big week for me this week, more to come on that later.

Sleep was really good, and I feel extremely replenished and relaxed today, def. ready to hit the gym. Hunger was through the roof over the weekend, but I controlled the cravings and didnt let in to eating extra. Hitting legs and abs today at the gym. Will update weight later in the day.
