The Complete Carnitine Stack- vs- The AZ heat & The PROWLER, a sponsored log...

[jbryand101b]

okay got my special delivery package today...

So, I've used hemavol (both flavors), maximize v2, dexaprine, reversitol v1 & v2, tt-33, and a few other products iforce carries.

So when I saw Vaughn was offering a log for their compete & testabolan v2 (two products i havn't tried yet, and hearing great things about both, esp compete), I had to apply for an opportunity.

with that, I want to thank those at I-Force for this opportunity to put it to the test.

I'll begin using compete tomarrow, and cant wait to test it ouside while pushing the prowler.

so far, I've gotten 14 plates for 20 meters, I'm hoping compete will help me get to 20 (or 18 at least) for 20 meters.

 

[TheGilmore]

Totally in for this. And the heat advisory has just been stupid this weak. I usually don't put much stock in electrolytes for non-endurance athletes, but this heat makes that ish worth it.

 

[VaughnTrue]

In!!!

 

[jbryand101b]

Supps I'm currently using.

Almost finished:
Power shock
Agmatine
Formasurge
Bulbine

Ongoing:
This stack
Xgels
Generation u can (superstarch carb product)

First workout with this will be legs. Stay tuned

 

[jbryand101b]

so started out with 2 scoops.

and I have to say, 1 scoop for flavor is all you need, but with two as you keep refilling your shaker, the taste gets more refreshing.

endurance was good, destroyed my legs today.

5 sets of dead lifts,

3 sets of full squats (azs to floor), then 2 more half squat

single leg press, 4 sets of 10 each leg

drop sets, single leg ext 3 sets of each set with 10 reps per drop (three drops)

drop sets, lying single leg curl, 2 sets of 10 reps each drop (3 drops)

could barely walk down the stairs, good focus and recovery between sets.

 

[StackedCop]

I think xgels plus this stack will be aaaaaamazing!

 

[jbryand101b]

yea, my hamstrings were sore today, but now at 10pm, they are reallying feeling it.

tomarrow is gonna be ruff.

gonna get some prowler time tomarrow if i can.

if y'all havn't seen it, wednesday, i pushed 700lbs for 20 meters, at 230 in the afternoon, so it was about 110-115 outside.

gonna try to get it in the morning next time.

[criticalbench]

Mike

 

[jbryand101b]

i've got the grape, i've also used the lime flavor.

compete for everyone's info, taste better than power shock. lol.

 

[baldwanus]

i've got the grape, i've also used the lime flavor.

complete for everyone's info, taste better than power shock. lol.

im thinking of mixing up 1 scoop lemon drop compete + 1 scoop lime powershock pre.....should be pretty tasty

 

[jbryand101b]

im thinking of mixing up 1 scoop lemon drop compete + 1 scoop lime powershock pre.....should be pretty tasty

def will be.

i got the tangerine, it taste great.

did 1 scoop today, hit chest. light chest, was worried about my shoulder, no pain today, so thats a good sign.

started with mach fly, 5 sets to pre exaust

went over to flat d/b press, 5 sets of 5

up, wife is yelling at me to get ready... be back.

 

[Loudy Rowdy]

this is turning out to be a very interesting log... I dont think i've ever seen anyone use the prowler in their logs...like ever...

 

[jbryand101b]

okay, where were we,

then we hit decline fly's 4 sets of 8

I had to leave, as i was out of time, so we finished off with a drop set on the flat bb bench. I used a reverse grip, as it was so light.

we did 4 10lb plates on the bar, so 5 sets 4 drops, down to the bar. nice pump after that.

not sure how i'll feel tomarrow, thats prob the lightest chest w/o i've ever done, but shoulder is feeling better, so i dont want to mess it up.

legs should be totally good by tomarrow, so gonna hit up some prowler.

today I only had an hour again, and chose to work on power, cardio.

so i started out with a 5 min 7-6mph run.

then went over and busted out kb swings, two 25lb kb's, one each hand, swings, 25 reps, just rested to my hr dropped back down to 140bpm.

3 sets of 25 swings.

the other exercise I did, I dont know what to call it, but describ it is like a two handed clean, and catch the kb on the bottom, then press above head. drop down to floor catching handle before it hits the floor, all one fluid motion

so I used a 35lb kb for 15 reps for the first set, then I grabbed the bosu ball, flipped up upside down, and balanced on top of it, while doing this exercise, with 15 reps for the last two sets.

finished off with 20 minitus of cardio in my zone 2 (so 161bpm-172bpm).

This was a quick power workout, and it was after 1hr of rock climbing.

sippin on compete the whole time, delicious refreshness, and amazing pumps from such a light workout. (forearms were super pumped during the rock wall climbing, esp on the climb down)

 

[VaughnTrue]

noticing any changes from the Tv2 yet?

awesome workout. in addition to the pumps, did you notice anything in terms of recovery between sets from the compete?

 

[murk01]

I'm In

 

[jbryand101b]

awesome workout. in addition to the pumps, did you notice anything in terms of recovery between sets from the compete?

recovery is def faster, my hr is dropping from 175 to 130 pretty quick. so rest times are getting shorter.
in terms muscle soreness, i feel like im recovering better, but it's not quicker.

my chest is still sore from working it out the other day, i cant believe it.

looks like Compete has a pretty profound impact...

[jbryand101b]

My libido is up, but the wife's holding out, is getting dangerous, I need some release.

On another note, went running this evening.

45min with my hr in my zone 3 (163-182bpm)....

I agree with Mike lol

 

[jbryand101b]

I took care of it last night.

 

[Loudy Rowdy]

I took care of it last night.

"it"? I think we need a graphic explanation on what you are talking about and what happened

when is the next workout (agenda)

 

[jbryand101b]

graphic, well, I rubbed one out.

next workout is going to be tomarrow, Im still deciding on if i want to go hit up the prowler, or go mnt biking, i havn't been in all summer.

idk, maybe i'll be motivated, and do both, prowler early, then mnt bike in the after noon.

stick a couple scoops of compete in my hydration pack and see how it works on long rides in the az heat.

 

[StackedCop]

Did you do both?

[jbryand101b]

nope, sadly to say, I woke up at 9am, watched a movie, then layed down again to take a nap, woke up at 430, so I pretty much wasted my day. I cant believe I slept that much.

but I did get a mini workout in today. only had 30min, so I hit back as hard an fast as I could in that time with all machines.

drop set with reverse fly, 3 drops per set of 15/12/10 each set, 3 sets.


then lat pull down, again drop set, 3 drops per set, same rep scheme.

high row, another drop set, same as others. 3 sets of 3 drops.

then went over and started to do d/b shrugs, and didn't like how it felt, so i went over to the free motion machine, and did my shrugs.

3 sets of 20, one arm at a time, behind the back.

by that time, it was 3, and I had to leave. after I got home an took care of stuff i had to take care of.

went for a 20min light run.

Legs tomarrow. hopefully I'll be able to stay past 3 at work so I can spend some quality time in the gym.

 

[criticalbench]

I took care of it last night.

job well done sir.. glad you enjoyed those pics i sent you

 

[jbryand101b]

Hitting the Prowler hard today, enjoy!

My first video I've put together...

[video=youtube;xzCEMRTstYY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzCEMRTstYY[/video]

didn't think I was gonna be able to walk up stairs after that last push. good times.

That's pretty intense stuff

 

[jbryand101b]

thanks man. the prowler aint no joke. that shiit is heavy.

810lbs + 70lbs for the prowler.

wont be long before I get 20 plates.

last time i got stuck at 14 plates, so im getting stronger in this area. (concentric training)

 

[jbryand101b]

Chest today, got my shaker, and stashed an extra one in my gym bag, in case I ever forget my reg one.

 

[jbryand101b]

chest today, but spent most of my time with the last exercise.

warm up was 5mph run on treadmill at a 10% incline for 5 min

4 sets of fly's, 4 sets of single arm d/b presses, 4 sets of incline cble press, 4 ball medicine ball push ups.

i dont know if any of y'all have tried this, a foot & hand on each medicine ball, then doing push ups, but that shiit is hard.

i've gotta work on the nerve control on my left side, which was damaged after my brain surgery, but i'll get it.

couldn't get any push ups with all 4 med balls, but got 3 ( one ball under each foot, and one hand on a ball) wich is still pretty tough.

after I had nothing left, i gave up, then went an did 30min of cardio on the spin bike.

sippin on my compete the whole time.

 

[Spaniard]

In! Def interested in trying out some compete! Thank god it's cooled down a little out here! I was dying!!

 

[jbryand101b]

yea, it's cooled down a lot. much easier to train outside when it's not 115.

compete is good stuff though. I havn't looked at the price point for it yet, but just off of the taste an performance, i'm going to replace my power shock with compete.

 

[rambofireball]

You mind If I inquire about the surgery? I had my skull cut open to remove a tumor about a year ago.

 

[jbryand101b]

sure, it was a schwannoma brain tumor ( a benign nerve sheath tumor composed of Schwann cells, which normally produce the insulating myelin sheath covering peripheral nerves.)

The nerve it was attached to, just happened to control the left side of my body. post surgery I lost the hearing completely in my left ear, and have trouble controlling motor function on the left side of my body.

depending on what im trying to do (how much control im trying to achieve) I can shake uncontrollably like I have parkinsons.

Makes it very difficult to balance on something like a medicine ball, throw a ball (used to be* a left handed pitcher), write, and jerk off.

Tell me about it I didn't even leave my apartment let alone do prowlers crazy guy! Lmfao!

That's awesome about compete! That's a pretty good recommendation coming from you. Iforce lucked out...

Damn, that makes it all the more impressive to be hitting those prowlers like that. Kudos for pushing through that extra challenge.

Wow bro, that is crazy you do what you do, after going through something of that nature.. Props to you, and god bless on your healthy recovery.

[jbryand101b]

enough about that, lets focus on the good stuff, like getting 20 plates for 20 meters! bad asss.

[jbryand101b]

hit legs today, though I think i should have waited. idk, felt like i didn't have as much strength/endurance.

had my compete, but they just felt worn out after the first set of front squats.


warm up with 3 sets of single leg ext.

4 sets of 10 front squats

4 sets 10 of dead lifts

4 sets of 10 single leg press

4 sets of 20 d/b lunges in place, alternating legs (so 10 each leg)

a nice little leg w/o, spent a lot of time explaining to a new trainer about how to properly do the exercises, like front squat, and dead lift.

got my focus xt in today, along with cissus, yay!

Dude if i was working out with you, I probably would need to bring my throw-up bucket

Have you taken cissus before? I've never had though many do speak highly of it...
