"Patent" down the hatches-Taking USPLabs Patent Anabolic by storm

Day 11
What's up Bil-bro Bagginses?! Today I took some time to get back into working order. Hunger was increased as usual and I have been noticing some random body heat increases... sometimes my ears will just get super hot. Last night I set up a pillow masterpiece to make sure that my elbow and shoulder had no pressure put on them and I woke up feeling a lot better. Took some ibuprofen in the morning and just now before bed. Will definitely be icing down tomorrow after the workout just in case... I also want to limit the amount of ibuprofen I take in case it has some sort of effect on the product. Hopefully just this one day wont skew any results. Should be golden tomorrow for squats and cleans. I am going to try and watch some clean videos before my workout tomorrow to get some better technique down... might try to find a few rep max. Video tomorrow for sure. #BROLO

Day 12
What's up G.I. Bros?! Fasted training day today aka best training day of the week! I didnt get to watch any clean videos before my workout like planned. I overslept a little bit because the wife got up earlier and took care of the puppies... gotta take that extra sleep when you can get it.

Bedtime:
Another piece of flank steak

My body has turned into a well oiled machine when it comes to food. Each time I eat quality whole foods, my body burns through it and craves more! It's like it's saying "That's the stuff give me more!" I ate dinner and then a few hours later when it' was time for my bed time shake I was starving. I had to go and eat another piece of flank steak. It has been about one hour since then and I'm hungry again wanting more. I know I am making gains.

Workout
Sqwatz
Warm up (working my way up to first working set) -- Also through in some front squats as a lot of the functional cf moves incorporate a front squat. I'm still working on wrist flexibility and strength but each week I have seen pretty significant increases in weight as I get more used to everything.
5x195
5x225
5x250



Afterward I did some hang cleans. I just couldn't seem to get in sync with higher weights. Sometimes I was able to coordinate my jump, shrug, and elbows under with ease. Then sometimes on the same weight I couldn't even get it high enough to get my elbows under. It was a little frustrating and I am excited to be going to an actual cf place probably in January to get some olympic lift coaching. Never could get anything going consistently over 160

So I decided to make my own WoD that will hopefully help in the hang clean department.
50 high pulls
50 shrugs
50 squats
for time

It was a pretty good workout. I got a beast of a pump in my traps and forearms from the first two and then the 50 squats left me with jelly legs. Usually I throw in some kind of thruster/ push press/ overhead press on saturday but to wrest my shoulder as much as possible I left it out.

Day 13
What's up Little Bro Peeps?! Tomorrow marks two days of PA and another weigh in (last week was 182). Today I was pretty sore in my traps and quads from yesterday. I also noticed that my bicep veins were bulging today. Like I said before, it seems that veins that were once prominent have become more prominent. Holidays are coming up so I'm finalizing travel plans and seeing where I will be able to squeeze workouts in, but definitely going to get them.

Day 14
What's up PinocchiBROs?! Hard to believe that two weeks have gone by... time is flying. I hopped back on the scale for weigh in number two and after looking in the mirror I was expecting to be under my initial weigh in. I weighed in at 184.4 (+2.4 lbs). This is insane!! I am noticably leaner around the mid section and arms. I could only imagine working out 5 days a week instead of my 3 how effective this product could be, especially with all the surplus of calories.

After my workout on saturday, my quads have felt full but not really sore.. I mis-spoke in an earlier post because it is a different feeling I wasn't used to.. the fullness has transitioned into a slight soreness today but sunday was an awesome feeling. Felt like walking on tree trunks down there.

That's awesome, it's kind of like how your muscles feel after a light pump set? I wonder if I ate more carbs if I would too??? O'well.

Nice update tho brudda, you're diet is one of the cleaner IF diets is seen & it sounds like its paying off. Keep on keeping on, Bro-e Dirt style

Day 15
What's up Quasibrodos?! These last few days I have had such deep sleep. When the alarm goes off, it is harder than ever to get up for work. I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for the holidays and some time off.

Workout
Today was deadlift day and I wanted to work on my form after Casey gave me some helpful advice. I could definitely feel the weight more in my hammys and glutes (so I am guessing I was doing it better). I'm not sure if it was because I haven't used those muscles as much in my previous deadlifts or what but the weight felt extra heavy today... even in my warm up. I also couldn't seem to get in as good of a rhythm sitting back. Maybe someone can help me with that? Feels like my knees get in the way or something weird

Warm up (working my way up to first working set)
3x280
3x320
3x365

My workout called for 3+ (basically as many as you can do) but on my first pull I was so focused on getting my shoulders back and sitting into the deadlift that I forgot to breathe out on the lift.... either really focused or absent minded! As I was pulling I got a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. This has happened before a few times with heavier weight but usually after I stretch it out a bit it goes away. Unfortunately today it was still bothering me so I stopped at 3 reps. I was filming the set but since it isn't anything worth showing it won't make it to the log. I wasn't feeling getting a hernia or something right before thanksgiving :-\. With this low volume I doubt I will be sore, so I am going to try and work on form and lower the weight (maybe 225) on my bench day on thursday. I really want to hit 450 by the end of this log so I can't afford a day of such little work being done.

Not being able to crush dead kind of messed up my focus but I went in and did 5 sets of low rows and then finished it up with some curls. Hadn't done curls in weeks since I 've been focusing on compound movements. Forearm veins were spider webs with PA+ micro

Thanks Distilled H2Bro. The next few days is when it will be the toughest for everyone. Good luck to you and keto

Lmao, I love it! I planned my carb day for Thursday so it shall be glorious!

Um, working on deads and pull 365 for 3? Wish I was "working" too . Nice update, I noticed some new vascularity today myself and it was almost 2.5hr post workout!

I don't forsee your goal being a problem with your dedication and PA. My stiff deads jumpd about 40lbs and I'm recomping!

[niners4reggie]

Quasibrodos I love it man. That's a good one

[Onceyougojack]

Sorry for the tardiness! I was traveling for the holidays and posting via my phone. Here are the old posts:

Day 16
What's up brodeos?!? Updating from my phone on the road. Today I did my standard lunch and eggs with grilled chicken for dinner . Did some tabata cardio. Prefer liss on under maintenance days but did a little extra today. Tomorrow I'm traveling again but planning an evening workout . Safe travels guys and gals

Day 17
What's up double bro sevens (just saw skyfall--legit)

Another phone post so I will get to the nitty gritty. Today I ate good as I'm sure many of us did but I honestly did not do as much damage as i thought because pa causing an un quench able thirst. I drank so much water today and it just caused me to be too full to stuff myself. Probably a good thing. It's been about a month since I've seen my folks and they were shocked at the size I've put on. In their words , whatever I'm doing and taking is working ! If they only knew... Getting in on the ground level of something game changing. Today I also noticed an increased quad definition.

Workout
Bench
3x 190
3x 220
5x245

10 rounds of deadlift form practice ten reps rest thirty sec
Weighted double unders ... Five pounds total in the handles. At first it took some Getting used to as seen in the misses in this video but then started gettin twenty plus in a row... Still have tons of work to do. Crazy the pump I got in my biceps with just five pounds in the rope. Aerobic workout too


75 push ups
Weighted double unders round two

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving

Day 18

What's up macabroni and cheeses ?!? After carb fest 2012 aka thanksgiving its back to the real world. Turkey for lunch with sweet potatoes. Dinner I had trout with shrimp and a salad.

Two things to report today, I have noticed the increased body temp again. Face has been feeling really hot today and I'm hot before bed too. Finally I tried a new fat burner today as I traveled with samples only and pa dominated it. I felt no appetite suppressant whatsoever . Alpha supp crushing the rest
Day 19
What's up embrybros?!? Normally I post at the end of the day but I am so excited from my workout that I can't wait. Walking into the gym today I just felt stronger. I'm visiting my parents so I had to use their club gym so I had to switch up my workout a bit.

Started off doing some squats as usual. They don't have any straight bars so I had to roll smith machine.
Warm up
3x210
3x240
3x275 pr


Knocking out the squats just assured me of the strength I was feeling so I kept getting after it. Did some cleans and used the eZ curl bar. A little Awkward with the bends in the bar but I was working on stomping into the ground and 45s felt like baby weight. Would have gone for a 1rm if I had a straight bar. Next week!

Felt even more manimal so I decided to try some heavier weight on my front squat . Worked up to 195 ... Which is a pr but it was the highest I've yet to try as I'm still working on wrist strength and flexibility.

Finished up with 5x5 overhead press 135 strict slow reps (killer) and 5x5 pull ups.

Day 20

What's up Mount Brolympus?!
Spent 8.5 hours on the road today. Then had to get the house in order, unpack, get ready for work the next day, all that boring stuff. Nothing really to report today as I was just sitting in the car staring at the open road. I am continuing to lean out though. I did get some great rest this weekend and some good carb fuel so I am feeling 100% for the upcoming week. It will be my heaviest week in the 4 week cycle so I'll need everything for it, but should have some good lifts and records to post!

Inspiration of the day: Psalm 37:4 Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

[Onceyougojack]

Day 21

What's up BROsetta Stones?!
It was time for another weekly weigh in today --184.4. That is the same from last week. I was hoping to continue to see the scale climb while the definition increased, but I am pretty glad that after all the holiday festivities and splurging that I didnt blimp up. Even though its winter time, gotta stay lean. I cant stop thinking about working out tomorrow and the rest of this week. It is what all the weeks prior have come down to... I am already visualizing sets and PRs. Talk about focus. Also I just shaved less than 24 hours ago and my beard is coming in ridic. Patented Anabolic, new official sponsor of no-shave November?? or Movember for the 'staches.

Next, I felt like I smashed my leg workout on Saturday. I should be walking like a stiff-legged zombie, but I feel great. No DOMS, no joint pain. I could do it again right now! Insane.

Also have to give the utmost of kudbros to USP and their sick black friday giveaway... It will be the perfect transition from PA to keep the gains coming.

Inspiration of the day: Proverbs 11:25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.

Workout
Deadlifts:
Today called for 380 1+ (at least one but as many as possible). I went in focused at 385 and shooting for 3 and made sure I got a proper warm up...even wore my microtest shirt for good luck.

First rep felt great. Second rep could not lock out... I think I could have with some chalk but my grip was failing and if I locked out I would have had to drop the bar from the top. After Casey's advice I have really started feeling my deads in my hammys and glutes like I am supposed to, but since I tweaked my form I havent felt as explosive. It is going to take more practice to get into a rhythm I'm sure. I have also really been focusing on keeping the bar close to my shins when I pull. Got a little too close today and got a nice little gash on my legs.

Estimated 1rm from calculator = 405. I will have one more DL day on PA, but it is supposed to be a deload day. I would love to hear everyone's opinion on deloading. I may try one next week for one last day for final lift numbers. So far I have increased my DL max 20 lbs in 3 weeks. Pretty stok3d!

I have never seen such improvements in physique in a mere 3 weeks. I am eager to see if upon the commercial release we are able to add test powder for an amazing strength synergy.

DL-
3x340
9x300 (called for 5, but disappointed at my top set so I went for extra reps)

It is just as important to share your failures, as it is your successes. Stay grounded and heading towards your goals!

Day 23
What's up BROletariot?! Just glad to get through humpday this week. Forgot to take PA this morning for some reason, but got it in at lunch with food. I did notice that without taking it in the morning I had less hunger pains. It definitely revs up the metabolism. Work has been exhausting, so I am also enjoying the solid sleep on this product. Feeling a little sore in the glutes --means my form is coming along I hope. If the video from yesterday looks like I'm still too forward let me know.

Good deal brotha, sometimes rest is as important as lifting.
