My first log thanks to AI Sports Nutrition "Stoked"!!

[mnowak1228]

First Id like to thank John Smeton, Rep for AI Sports Nutrition, for allowing me this opportunity. Id also like to say this is my first log and it will be honest. I am 35 years old 249 lbs 6" tall and most of it is unwanted FAT!! This is the same position I was in two Decembers ago when I decided enough was enough! I started working out and was very successful for about 5-6 months, I had lost a total of 41 lbs, the right way, proper diet combined with weight training and "some" cardio. Then I started getting a really bad pinch in my right shoulder, but like any other "tough guy" I kept trying to work through it and it only got worse. I broke down and went to see my Ortho and had an MRI done, the findings were a large laberal tear, but they also found a bone lesion which scared the living sh*t out of me. After a CT scan and a bone scan to confirm the lesion I was sent to an Orthopedic Oncologist. Needless to say I searched the internet and found nothing but bad news, I had myself in the grave before I even saw the Oncologist. Anyway, I did see the Oncologist and after he and his "TEAM" examined all of the scans he believes it is benign, but I have to go see him every three months to have it checked. So.....after all of that I stopped caring so much about how I looked and just fell back into the same routine of eating whatever I wanted and not working out AT ALL! Now I did have an excuse for not weight training because of the torn labrum and it was doctors orders. I chose not to have surgery to remove the tear, but rather do some PT to try and help it. Its not 100% right now, but the doc did release me two weeks ago to start weight training again and just told me to take it easy with how heavy I go with anything that could effect my shoulder. I am not a Bodybuilder nor am I looking to be one, I have a TON of respect for Bodybuilders Its just not what Im looking for at this stage of my life. I have two children that I coach Football and Basketball for and I just want to be in better shape for them and myself. Like I said I started back up two weeks ago, I have a pretty solid diet with low carbs, below 75g a day, and high protein, try and get between 200-300g a day. Ive been running EP+C20+AT2 during these two weeks and my weight started at 260 lbs. Since Ive been running EP+C20+AT2 for two weeks I will know EXACTLY how "STOKED" is affecting me. I will only be logging what effects Im feeling/seeing from Stoked. I started dosing Stoked today pre W/O 2 caps this morning at about 7AM and just took the next dose, 2 caps, at about 6PM. I did not feel any change as of yet on day one, nor did I expect it to. Here is what my W/O looked like this morning, today was legs/back/shoulders.

Bent Over DB Rows = 15X10, 20X10, 25X10, 31X10, 40X10

Leg Curls = 36X10, 54X10, 75X10, 96X10, 115X10

Lat Pulldown = 52X10, 68X10, 87X10, 100X10, 120X10

Leg Press = 166X10, 210X10, 240X10, 268X10, 325X10

Calf Press = Same as Leg Press

Military Press = 50X10, 72X10, 72X10, 95X10, 95X10

List of supps and dosing:

Stoked 2 caps AM 2 caps PM one of the doses pre W/O

Erase Pro 1 cap AM

AT2 2 caps AM 1 cap PM

C20 2caps AM 2 caps PM

ON Gold Standard Whey 1.5-2 scoops 2-3 times a day

Multi Vit.

Maximize Intense, Maximize V2, or Wyked Pre W/O

May add something for my joints if they start to dry up.
Please feel free to critique my training, as I said before Im am not a "seasoned lifter" I just have to make sure Im not going to re-injure my shoulder. If there is anything else you would like to know feel free to ask. Ive looked at other logs and I know my lifts are nothing special, YET, but Ill get there. I did used to lift in H.S. when I played football, but that was a loooong time ago!! Lol

I am going to try and update this every day. I do two days on and one day rest. Thank you again AI Sports Nutrition!! Ill do the best I can!!

DAY 2:

Woke up today at about 7AM. Took 2 C20 + 1 EP + 2 AT2 + 2 Stoked before breakfast. Breakfast was three eggs over easy a link of Italian sausage with some peppers and onions at around 8:30. Mid morning snack was some almonds and blueberries. Lunch was two crab cakes a hard boiled egg and a cheese stick with my Magic Matcha green tea for a little pick me up. Mid afternoon snack again some mixed nuts and berries. Got home at 4:00PM Mixed up some Wyked and Watermelon Hemavol, tossed back two more STOKED and the last doses of C20 and AT2. During my upper body workout drank 1.5 scoops of Lemon RecoverPro with about 30oz of water. Here is what my W/O looked like.

Bench Press: 70X10, 99X10, 128X10, 153X8, 184X4

O.H. Press: 20X10, 25X10, 31X10, 35X10, 45X8

Standing D.B. CuRLS: 20X10, 25X10, 31X10, 35X10, 45X5

Butterfly: 33X10, 33X10, 42X9, 48X5, 48X5

Iso Curls: 20X10, 25X10, 31X9, 35X8, 45X4

Plus did a total of 100 crunches pause for 2 seconds at peak muscle contraction.

After lifting I ate one crab cake, about 4oz. pork tenderloin and a protein shake.

So lets move on to what Im feeling from "STOKED". First noticeable thing is when I woke up today I was as horny as a teenager in a strip club. May be placebo effect IDK, sorry but I said I was going to be totally honest in this log. During work today I didnt really notice too much all day, but while I was working out I did experience a little added aggression and focus than usual and some of my lifts went up in reps since Saturday when I did upper body. Again....this is only day two so I cannot say if any of the changes are from starting "STOKED" or just normal progression. I will be able to tell more prolly in about a week for sure. Tomorrow is an off day to let my body heal. May do some cardio on the eliptical and maybe a few crunches, but we will see how Im feeling. I will update the log again tomorrow either way.

Thanks for following. I've been reading some of yours. I'm trying not to read too many reviews on Stoked so my mind doesn't get packed with ideas of what others claim it did for them. Sometimes the mind is more powerful then the supplement. I love AI Sports so I have NO DOUBT it will work, but I'm trying to be as honest and fair as possible for everyone!!

[Celorza]

Yeah thats why I run it alone , the stack by itself , not counting the usual staples though. But just in case , its the only AI and test booster I'm taking along with TestoPRO , and the GDA Glycobol , so I can tell an honest opinion , and so far I am pleased , and I'm sure so will you AI gave me my shot for my first log too! This company is worth every buck they are worth , not only because of the log opportunity they gave us , but customer service wise , promotions , research on products and rep-wise , they all exceed in their respective areas and make a solid company thanks to it. I'm glad you check my log too hope it helps in anything! And good luck bro! Keep repping it out at the gym!

DAY 3:

Woke up and today @ 7AM. Took my first dose of STOKED at around 7:30 with the Carbonite Stack + AT2. Funny thing this morning, AS SOON as I woke up I felt like I could eat a HORSE, and maybe an entire cow also!! Im not usually hungry first thing, it takes about an hour or two before hunger kicks in, but I usually choke down a protein shake on my way to work or wait till I get to work and heat up some breakfast. NOT TODAY!!! As soon as I got done getting ready I had to eat something bc my stomach literally felt like it was eating itself!!! NO KIDDING!!! So I immediately grabbed some protein pudding I made last night. It takes me about 45 mins to get to work and as soon as I got there I had to eat some of my ham and cheese omlet. I only ate half and ate the other half about 10-11AM. For lunch I ate a can and a half of albacore tuna mixed with hot pepper, relish, mayo and three hard boiled egg whites. As far as mood today I didnt really see a difference, libido does seem to be kicked up a little throughout the day. I did 20 mins on the elliptical today when I got home, FASTED. Drank my Revover Pro while doing it. After that I ate a crab cake, hard boiled egg, and a cheese stick. This was around 5PM. At about 7PM took the last dose of C20 + AT2 for today. Im going to take my second dose of STOKED on an empty stomach before bed and see how that dosing works for a couple days.

HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY:

When I got home today I had a package waiting for me from AI Sports Nutrition and inside was the two Unsweetened Magic Matcha I ordered on Sunday, my bottle HGH Pro and a SH*T load of extra goodies. Plus Nate threw in something EXTRA special......Lmfao!!! Thanks guys!!

[mnowak1228]

DAY 4:

Started my day at 8AM. Libido is with out a doubt, HIGHER then normal. I have to say STOKED has to be playing a key role in this. I took my last dose of STOKED right before bed last night like Celorza recommended and didnt notice any difference yet, I will still take it like that for a couple days and see what happens. Ok, not only has libido picked up, but so has my hunger!! The hunger going up is a def sign the STOKED is working, and Im sure some of it is from the Carbonite Stack also. The STOKED raising natural test and Erase decreasing estro works well together. I was starving first thing this morning, on my way to work I drank my Magic Matcha and had some raw almonds. When I got to work I ate 1.5 scoops of protein (34g) mixed with Greek Yogurt and ricotta cheese, and a hard boiled egg. That was at about 9:30. O yeah, I took my first dose of STOKED before I left the house on an empty stomach, and the Carbonite + AT2 at work right before I ate breakfast. Lunch was at about noon, had 4-5oz of seasoned chicken breast and a cheese stick with some pistachios. Fasted the afternoon and when I got home at around 4 Mixed up one scoop of Maximize Intense and 1 scoop of Wyked, took the last dose of C20 + AT2, and ate a few GIANT gummy bears. After consuming my Pre W/O drink, I mixed up 1.5 scoops of RecoverPro with about 30oz of water and proceeded to go lift. Today was legs, back and shoulders day and I made the decision to start dead lifting again. Here is what my session consisted of.

Bent Over DB Rows: 15X10, 20X10, 31X10, 40X10, 40X10

Leg Press: 166X10, 240X10, 268X10, 325X8, 325X8

​Lat Pull-down: 52X10, 87X10, 100X10, 120X10, 135X10

Military Press: 50X10, 50X10, 95X8, 95X8, 120X4

Dead Lifts: 55X10, 65X10, 85X8, 85X5, 115X5

Also did 100 crunches in between sets.

Afterward I ate dinner. 4-5oz chicken breast, half cup of blueberries, and a 10g protein drink. I think I tonight may be a GREAT night to take one of the samples I have of HGHPro along with my last dose of STOKED before bed. The dead lifts already have my legs feeling like a Slinky. Hopefully the HGHPro will help with recovery. I do have to say that since Monday when I first started taking STOKED my lifts feel like they are better and I have a little more aggression to the point where Im pushing a little more to get that last rep in. I just have to keep in mind to watch how far I go. I dont need anymore lifting injuries yet!! Lol

[mnowak1228]

Didnt forget....just been a busy weekend. I will update Friday, Saturday, and today tomorrow night. Sorry.......Still LOVING STOKED!!!

[mnowak1228]

Here we go..........

DAY 5:

Libido seems to have leveled out a bit, but it could be stress related also. Hunger is still through the roof. Eating 5 meals a day with a small snack in between (hard boiled egg, nuts, cheese stick, beef jerky). Still dosing the same. First doses STOKED and AT2 first thing on an empty stomach, EP and C20 with breakfast about a half hour later. Second dose of STOKED right before bed on an empty stomach, and the last doses of C20 is Pre W/O and AT2 is with my dinner at about 5-6PM. My aggression has def picked up. Im usually have a short fuse for certain things, but now its even shorter over everything, not violent just a little snappy!!! Lol.... GREAT NEWS is my lifts are going up in rep as you will see.

Bench: 70X20, 70X20, 184X6, 153X9

O.H. Tri Press: 20X20, 20X20, 45X10, 35X12

Barbell Curls: 35X20, 35X20, 85X7, 65X8

Butterfly: 33X20, 33X20, 48X8, 48X8

Incline DB Curls: 20X15, 20X15, 45X4, 35X5

PLUS 100 crunches in between sets.

I know still not very impressive for some, but Im really happy to see my reps going up. I had to cut it short bc I got called into work during my fourth set.

DAY 6:


Non lifting day. May sound crazy but Im still sore as Hell from the Dead lifts on Thursday. Eating habits are the same. Dosing the same.


DAY 7:

I took my first doses the same as always, STOKED first thing on an empty stomach with AT2 and EP+C20 with breakfast. Im thinking of changing my last dose of STOKED pre W/O while fasted for a couple days instead of right before bed. Went fishing for most of the day while I had some chili NO BEANS cooking in the crock for dinner. Weather was about 90 and sunny and the only thing I caught was a sun burn, but very relaxing day with my wife and kids, and O yeah....drank my Magic Matcha Lakeside, VERY REFRESHING!!! Came home around 4PM and the chili smelled amazing, but I washed down my STOKED and C20 with some Wyked mixed with a scoop of Maximize V2 and was off to the races with of course, 1.5 scoops of RecoverPRO!! Here is what the W/O looked like.

Leg Raises: 36X15, 54X15, 115X15, 96X10, 96X10

​Lat Pull-down: 52X15, 68X10, 120X10, 100X10, 87X10

Leg Press: 166X15, 210X15, 325X15, 268X10, 240X10

Shoulder Shrugs: 20X15, 20X15, 45X10, 35X10 (HAD TO STOP BC MY BAD SHOULDER STARTED GETTING A PINCH IN IT)

Bent Over DB Rows: 15X10, 20X10, 45X10, 35X10, 25X10

100 CRUNCHES IN BETWEEN SETS.

DAY 8:

Today same dosing scheme. Weighed in this morning at 245, thats a loss of 4 lbs since last Monday. Ill take it especially since my lifts seem to be getting A LOT BETTER I doubt Im losing any muscle!! Libido is still back to normal, hunger is still a real demon, and aggression still at its peek which isnt bad while Im lifting because its making me push harder to get that last rep in. Diet is still in check and Im actually starting to NOT crave carbs at all, in fact doesnt matter to me if I have them or not, but this may have effected some of my lifts today. I have only had maybe a total of 50-60g all weekend including today, NO LIE, so this may be the issue or I just didnt rest my muscles enough. It really only effected my bench, felt very weak with it today. Here is the breakdown!

OH Tri Press: 20X20, 20X20, 45X15, 35X10, 35X20

Bench: 70X20, 70X20, 184X4, 153X7, 128X10

Standing DB Curls: 20X20, 20X10, 45X6, 35X8, 35X10

Butterfly: 33X20, 33X10, 48X11, 42X10, 42X10

Performed 20 barbell curls @ 65lbs to finish off the biceps, and 100 crunches between sets.

So far it looks like STOKED is working quite well for me and my body is responding pretty good. Im dropping weight while my lifts are getting better. How can ANYONE complain about that? Ive had no really bad sides from STOKED, besides the aggression, but that is to be expected I think and not always a bad thing. I wish the libido had stayed high, but I guess I cant have my cake and eat it too!! Lol..... well that wraps it up for today. Tomorrow is a rest day with poss a little cardio. And BTW, I have replaced my morning coffee with an Ice Cold MAGIC MATCHA every morning to start my day!!! Love it........

[John Smeton]

writing any set and exercise takes up too much time for me.I did it for years in logs.lol

nice job getting the work outs in
