Thanks to stxnas and A.I. Sports, I was the lucky winner of a tub of Maniac (Pink Lemonade flavored) to log. I also received a really nice A.I. Sports t-shirt and some samples of A.I.'s line of products.
Some quick background info... I am 50 years old, 5'8", 160 lbs and have been lifting weights on a regular basis for the last 13 months. Until mid-July of this year I was working out in a crappy home gym with a lack of equipment and weights, but since then have joined a local health club and went from 3 day a week full-body workouts to my current 5 day split routine.

I took a total of 2.5 servings today, since I have been taking a lot of stims the last 6 weeks and have gotten a bit of a tolerance to caffeine's energizing effects. I was feeling pretty good throughout the Guillotine Presses but by the time I got to the Chest Dips I was feeling a little fatigued. After the dips it was all downhill as my shoulders were causing me some pain during the flys, so I did a few sets of Decline BB Presses and some Ab Crunches before exiting the gym.
The best part of this workout was the pump I got after the Guillotine Presses. Boo-yah!
Strength: 9/10
Energy: 9/10
Endurance: 8.5/10
Focus: 9/10
