Houstontexas Gets LIT-UP Log

[houstontexas]

Ok fellas I just received my Lit-Up today so I am getting ready to start my log. I may or may not hit the gym tomorrow as it is usually a toss up between a rest day or abs/cardio. If I don't post tomorrow I will definitely post Thursday night. Can't wait to get Lit-Up.

Looking foward to your thoughts.

FYI-

Use 10 ozs of water per scoop instead of the 8 specified on the container.

Ok I was very pumped to get Lit-Up so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to use it today. I hit my Bi's/abs/cardio today. I usually wouldn't have bi's on Wed., but I missed them for the most part Monday due to showing the wifey her new workout plan. Anyways onto my critique of Lit-Up. Remember these are only my initial impressions and they may change over the time of this log.

Initial impression based on looks: 7/10 Container is cool looking and small which is nice even though it just sits on my counter. I have every supplement on my counter so it is nice to conserve space. Upon opening it I thought the powder looked a bit odd compared to say Jacked or my sample of C4. More thick looking like a protein powder than tiny granules.

Taste: 9/10 I was a bit scared based on the looks, but the taste was very good actually. It wasn't just one of those tolerable Preworkout drinks, I actually enjoyed the taste. The only downside was drinking 20oz of it since I used 2 scoops. I felt like I was never gonna finish that thing.

Effectiveness: 8/10 Overall I felt like Lit-Up was very effective. I have to say I was very skeptical on the way to the gym and even upon ar*****. I didn't feel mentally "pumped up" like I usually do with other Preworkout drinks. I also didn't get that feeling before getting to the gym that it had kicked in. Upon starting my workout I realized I was getting a pretty much perfect balance of focus, intensity, etc. I also felt a little more pump than normal. I continued to pound my way through my workout and even felt great all the way through 30min cardio. I still feel like I should be in the gym actually lol.

Overall score: 8/10 Solid product!! No stomach problems and no crashing feel plus effects that I felt actually APPLIED to my workout and not just a false sense of stimulation.

I will continue with the rest of the bottle and give more details throughout its usage. The joint health and testosterone increase over time sound wonderful so we'll see. Thanks for the opportunity AN!!

looking forward to hearing more! This powder looks different because it is a "cleaner" powder supplement, not filled with tons of junk. That would be my guess at least. I agree, taste and effectiveness is great. Where in Houston are you located?

Awesome news man! My fav part about LITup is the tunnel vision type focus that it gives, rather than an overly stimmed energy

Another great day with Lit-Up. I had shoulders and triceps today. I kept the workout short and sweet and felt great the entire time. I actually felt more hype physically and mentally today than yesterday. I found myself drumming along to the music in the car and getting super excited to hit the gym. I am always ready to hit the gym, but I am not usually that excited about it. Especially on shoulder day b/c I have some pain in my right shoulder. Until tomorrow..

Nice update!

I'm in a zone when I take LITup (2 scoops).

For the last 3 days, I have used 1 Black Cats (60 min pre) and 2 scoops (30 min pre) and the energy and focus has been outstanding!

I haven't used Black Cat yet. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on some.

Ah, which high school? Yes I am.

Ah, which high school? Yes I am.

I went to Cy-Springs...Class of 03

Hit back today and it went very well. I didn't even have my ipod since I forgot to charge it, but I still managed to stay focused and smash the weights. If I can pump the iron with intensity while listening to the gyms lame music you know this stuff is working.

[chubbarock]

fuuuu I hate when I forget my ipod

thankfully LITup helped you surpass the issue

Ok I am experimenting with a new 3x a week lifting routine. So here is what I did today.

All of this was done on avg with a 12rep, 10rep, 8rep approach. I only gave myself 30sec between sets also.

Chest:
Incline DB Press 3 sets
Low Cable Flies (idk the name of this, pulling up from legs towards chest...help me out lol) 3 sets
Legs:
Squats 3 sets
Stiff Legged Deadlifts 3 sets
Back:
Lat Pulldowns 3 sets
Seated Cable Rows 3 sets
Shoulders:
Front DB Raises 3 sets
Side DB Raises 3 sets
Traps:
Shrugs 3 sets
Biceps:
Alternating DB Curls 3 sets
Triceps:
Bar Pushdowns (cables) 3 sets

Cardio:
20min eliptical

Have to say Lit-Up kept me going the whole time. Very good workout with intense focus throughout. I do have one little problem with the drink though. It seems to leave an after taste in my mouth for a while after drinking it. Anyone else experience this with Lit-Up or any other supplements for that matter?

I haven't experienced it with LITup but there are a few products I have had in the past which have done something similar, usually I just chew on a piece of gum or sip some stronger flavored bcaa's

awesome! glad you are enjoying it!

Hit up my 3x a week workout again today. Legs were actually pretty sore from Monday even though I only did 2 exercises with 3 sets each. Maybe it is the lack of rest between sets at 30sec. Anyways here was my exercise Layout today:

Legs:
Squats 3 sets
Hack Squats 3 sets
Calf Press 3 sets
Chest:
Incline DB Press 3 sets
Low Cable Flies 3 sets
Back:
Lat Pulldowns 3 sets
Seated Cable Rows 3 sets
Shoulders:
DB Presses 3 sets
Side/Front DB Raises 3 sets
Traps:
Shrugs 3 sets
Biceps:
EZ Bar Curls 3 sets
Triceps:
Angled Bar Pushdowns (cables) 3 sets

Cardio:
20min eliptical

Had a bit of a stomach ache before hitting the gym, but it went away after I started working out. It was not related to the Lit-Up and it didn't seem to make it any worse once I drank it. Usually when I have an upset tummy I drink my pre-workout and then immediately pay for it so that was a nice change. Ya I said tummy so what wanna fight about it? Haha.. Anyways another good workout thanks to the good people over at AN.
