Hey guys, I was picked to log Green Mag and Blue Gene by Controlled Labs. Big thanks to Renegade Rows and CL for another logging chance.

Stats:
5'8-5'9
195ish lbs
Bench: 305
Squat: 395
Press: 190
Deadlift: 445

Training style: 5/3/1 "3/5/1"

Diet: Bulking 3500-4000 cals a day, If you want more detail let me know.

Supps:
Orange Triad
Vit D
Mag
Fish Oil
Ala
Taurine
Beta-alanine
Alcar
Xtend
White Flood/Lit-up when I need a boost.

Goals of this log will be to continue to increase strength for my meet in feb. Recover my lower back and left hip flexor. Increase conditioning. Ill be looking to compare green mag to creapure and AEN's new creatine RT. I dont really bloat but ill pay attention to that, stomach issues as mono makes me go, energy and power output, and even endurance since green mag is a designer creatine blend. Im expecting good things from this product and if I notice anything else im comment on it. As for blue gene, I have no idea what to expect, compare it to, or to try to get out of it. So this will be a fun product to test and im looking forward to it.

Also if you guys want anymore info or pics let me know.

Only hit a modified deload on bench today bc of some training issues making this bench cycle extra long. Still felt amazingly strong.

Subbed. How have your PRs been coming along lately?
Well my bench is coming along nicely. Hitting a lot of Prs in it as my form improves and my upper back strength increases. Also my press is improving with Prs, thx to form and and tricep strength. Sadly my squat and deadlift took a hit as I had a strain in my left hip flexor and I tweaked my lower back bc of my hip flexor preventing me from sitting back like I needed too. I took a step back in both lifts to work on form and do some rehab. And currently all my main sets of squats are done in a single ply squat suit to support my hip while I rehab it. Also imma try to get some vids of my squat and deadlift.

The log is looking good so far. I've used three bottles of Blue Gene in the past and a couple tubs of Green Mag. You're gunna love 'em both. Blue Gene always made me feel awesome, all day everyday.

Your quad work looks good, but supersetting GM with GHR is limiting them. You can arguably say that the GM is the best builder of both the squat and deadlift (I especially correlate the deadlift with them). GHR is also extremely important and should be done at every lower body session. I almost use them in the same fashion that I implement facepulls for upper body. You can do them before the squat to loosen up the posterior chain and to really establish the M-M connection with the area.

Thanks man. It more or less was I was squatting way to wide without support putting a lot of pressure on my weak hip flexors. So I brought my stance in a lil more to take more advantage of my quads. I do GHR every lower body session too, i use bands and the such to either increase of decrease the lift depending on the day. But I will try them pre-lift to see how it goes. How are your PRs? You got a log on here anywhere?

How do you set up your supplementary work?
I always have on upper days:
Accessory Press after bench/press
Row Movement, sometimes do pullovers here
Upper Back movement
Tricep movement
Bicep movement
Chins inbetween pressing sets
Conditioning

Lower:
Quad work
Hamstring work
Core work
Conditioning

Since i do 3/5/1 I rotate my volume
3 week is high volume accessory
5 week is low volume accessory
5/3/1 week is high volume accessory
deload is low volume accessory

I'm transitioning to a conjugate system right now. I haven't attempted any PRs recently, but I can definitely tell that my bench would be higher just by technique improvements. I don't have a log right now (I'm keeping track on an Excel spreadsheet), but might start a new one after PCT is over, which will be in another 3 weeks.

Test E (500mg/week; 20 weeks), Deca (300mg/week; 14 weeks), Var (50mg/day; 4 weeks), and Ultradrol (8mg/day; 3 weeks) at the end. I used hCG on cycle and am running Clomid, Sustain Alpha, Toco-8, TCF-1, and HGHpro for PCT.

Conditioning/Quad Work: Prowler High handles 270lbs for 10min. There were two points in this where i couldnt breath, could barly see, couldnt stand. Only one thing was important after this...AIR
Notes: Another great session. Finally got a good groove on squats. Anyone that talks bad about lifting in gear has never done it. Its harder in its own way. Im enjoying the green mags taste and effects so far. Also i got my rehband knee sleeves in and got to use them this session. They were really nice and helped my knees stay warm and comfy the whole session lol

Heres pretty much what i looked like at the end.

Not as much bloat as you would think. Paleo really keeps the bloat down and I added a tremendous amount to my total (nearly 200 lbs).
One day when im not a super broke and busy college kid I will switch to this diet. Unless you got some tips? But 200lbs is nice man, esp in 20 weeks

Gotcha man, is rice a loud on paleo? Can you link to the carb sources again. I wanna switch over.
Just try to eat a non inflammatory diet by avoiding all things processed and any foods that don't agree with you. Primarily avoid grains, but some have found that white rice is the least gut irritable out of all the grains and can handle them. Just remember it's still a fast carb so if you wanna avoid the insulin spike and high oxidation you should stick to veggies and fiberful fruits. And maybe some sweet potato.

Man that's a crazy workout. Then conditioning? DAMN!

Notice increased cardio health on the GM? I know the research on creatine is GREAT. just that a lot of times I feel we just don't absorb the product well... Like bulk creatine does JACK for me... I feel anyway. I can tell the difference from when I have creatine in preworkout vs when I just take my bulk powder.... yet I still take my bulk powder haha. Makes me feel better.

Thanks man, I do conditioning 4 times a week now. Its a must have.

And Idk yet, Ive noticed I dont have to poo about 15-20min after taking green mag like I do mono. But cardio wise Ive have been pushing harder, but Im anything but fresh when it comes to that lol. Just mix your bulk with your pre-wo?

Btw dont you have a log for CL too? Is it up?

VERY SOON.
I'm logging White flood. My box from Hawaii should be coming soon. (I live in Japan so I had to have the supp shipped to Hawaii first then to me in Japan.) I can't wait to be honest. I really was IN with the preworkouts...but had a mess of crappy tasting ones... then ones that didn't agree with me... dang... I'm doing sport specific training now so I'm looking for something that'll give me cardio, endurance and max force... so basically everything lol. Want me to leave a link in here when I get it started for ya?

Nah. I used to love bb'ing. I also remember saying that it don't matter what the weight is on the bar just matter how many abs are showing. I long for the abs but now as a fighter I really am understanding how worthless or even detrimental my ten plus years of moving weight slow and moving lighter weights were.
Haha. Well hindsight is always 20/20.

Id recommend you try out joe defrancos westside for skinny bastards v3. It has ME work, DE work, RE work, and is made for athletes not just powerlifters.

You know I always thought I was a fat bastard... so I looked into the WSFFB. Its a theorethical program. But then I thought to myself... im not really a fat bastard as I have almost 4 abs and some side veins... I'm making a program now for recomp. I might add some of the DE, and RE for my current program as for the rep ranges and over all programming there is weak I think. I will update my new log when i get the white flood in (still in the mail from my home in Hawaii, should be here this week though). I'm doing 2 static holds per workout, and hitting up 2 Super Sets of compounds. Im thinking the current program I am following doesnt have enough accessory (probably because its not really made for power liftters, or athletes who are geared towards performance). I might add in one day of accessory and I am doing one day of movement. (just in the park I recently found nearby). Thanks Ill give it a look. Might consider running something similar to it later. Just for ideas. But the program I am running with now is what I will be using for the next 8-10 weeks, or as long as I can milk gains off of it ;)
