Hugo's Formutech Nutrition Volatile Log

[hugojaya]

Thank to cswalczakny and Formutech Nutrition for a tub of their preworkout Volatile-32 serving tub. I will be taking one serving per day, at about 30 min before hitting my weight training. I have been lifting 18 year. My routine is 1:30 to 2 hours of weights-not super heavy- but heavy-lots of volume. I like to feel the pump-it really is about muscle contraction and not just moving weight . But mainly I train one muscle group a day per week(except-ab-calves). Mon/arms- Tues/chest, Weds/back, Thus/ab-calves, Fri/Delts, Sat/Leg, Sun/ab-calves. I have been making great gains in that 18 years partly due to training. But I must be honest- I do from time to time run cycles of DS. I have also had a history of alot of use of preworkouts, but all have been stim preworkouts. Volatile does have some stim, but I think from the info I see, it more of a pump product.

My stats are as of 1/27/13 are 215 5.5" 32 waist- not sure about BF.

I welcome any questions you may have, or ways to improve the log!!

Brief description of the Volatile:

CLEAN ENERGY/DEVASTATING PUMPS! | NO DMAA



VOLATILE, by Formutech Nutrition, is a great tasting Pre-Workout Catalyst. Compared to other pre-workouts that might leave you short changed, VOLATILE boasts 9 grams of active ingredients per scoop that includes 2 forms of creatine! The scientifically formulated active ingredients in VOLATILE give you the focus and energy to get you into the gym but will not cause jitters or a crash. VOLATILE will leave your body totally pumped long after your workout is complete.



HOW IT WORKS:

The focus on VOLATILE is the PUMP. The ingredients in VOLATILE are scientifically proven to increase the blood flow into your muscles rapidly, aiding nutrient transport, fullness and vascularity to your muscles while you train. This increase allows your body to produce more energy which in turn will allow you to push out more sets and more reps than you ever had before.
Taking VOLATILE pre-workout is a proven way to give you an athletic edge that will improve endurance, decrease recovery time, giving you massive and long lasting pumps!

SUNDAY - ABS/CALVES-total time around 1:20
I do alot of crunches and leg lefts-ab wheel for abs
Calf are machine calf raises- leg press calf rises, donkey calf raise machine.

So today was my first day. I opened the tub of Volatile, (by the way the tub graphic are cool). While opening the tub I got a very medicine like smell. So I put one serving in my blender bottle and mix it half full of cold water. It mixed instantly and not even a speck was at the bottom. The taste was amazing- very berry like. If you go to costco and get the berry smoothie-that is the exact taste of this- so maybe I can just make a smoothie of this too, (just a joke). So the taste was noting like the smell of this!!

Effect was that I after 30 min - I did get energy 7/10 and focus was 8/10. But endurance was great 10/10. Workout went fast and my muscle over all pumped up and I felt tight all over. I dont get much of a pump on abs and calves compared to other muscle groups.

Tomorrow, will be arm- I am very dominate in arm and I will definitely be able to assess pump better.

DAY 2 -ARMS

Bicep
Curl Bar w/ revolving handles- 25 on each side- 4 set 10-12 reps
alternating curls DB 40,45,50- 3 sets 10 reps
concentration curls superset 40 then 20- 3 set 10 reps.
Rope Curls - 100,120,140-3 set 10 reps
Preacher Curls- 80,70,60 - 3 set 10-12 rep

Tricep
Dip machine 120,130,140 10-3 set 10-20 reps
Cable Rope pushdowns 80,90,10 10- 3 set 10-20 reps
overhead rope extensions 40,50,60 -- 3 set 10-20 reps
dumbbell tricep kickback 15lbs - 3 set 20 reps
v bar push downs 70 lbs -3 set 20 reps

So today I took 1 serving of Volatile 30 min before weight training. When I finished my 2nd bicep exercise my arm had a good pump going. Mid way into bicep I started to have a balloon like pump- so much so that partical reps were all i could do. In to triceps- same thing happened. I was so happy to see this. I have tried many no products in the past-NO BOMB- EST EP- Superpump-none of them did anything out off normal- but for some reason Normal L-Arginine Tabs do make me pump up too. Dont really no why!! Maybe old school supp do have use too. But anyway the pump I got on Volatile was definitely out of normal for me. I normal get a very huge pump in arm- but this what about 40% more than normal for me. Which to me is a big deal- after so much waste of stuff that didn't work. Endurance was also good 8/10 here - alittle down since yesterday- energy and focus was the same as yesterday. So tommorrow is chest- this is also a area where I can fully assess pump.

So today 1 serving -30min before weights. After my hammer strength chest press(1 exercises). I had a huge pump. This was awesome, but when I got to DB flat press(2 exercises) pump interfered with my ability to lift weight- normal I get 10-12 reps with that weight- but could only get 6-9. So I had to downscale the weight alittle. But pump felt great!!! Endurance was 10/10- but at start I felt weaker than normal. But as pump appeared I got psyed up to lift. I am a pump whore-lol. Focus and energy also great 9/10. All in all a great workout. Tommorrow is back!!!

Great work man! I get that painful pump on shoulder day all the time its terrible!

[Brucega]

[hugojaya]

pump was not painful- I enjoyed it alot. It was just so much more than normal, it tightened up my chest fast. My pump natural is very high and with volatile I am getting much more than normal- so this is uncharted territory. But I am enjoying it alot!!!

But full workout was done and on much less time. Pump on back was alittle bigger than normal about 20%. Energy and Focus was 10/10. Back looks awesome and my waist is small (32, wear M) and top is XL to 2XL, so I have that illusion thing in effect- lol. Tomorrow is DELTS due to I have to be in college for 10 hours on Friday (clinical day).

Awesome work in here Hugo! Love the triangle look right! I'm about to hit my back in 2 mins

[hugojaya]

Have a nice back workout. I always love tattoo - I was thinking about getting that mark-the one that on the back of a indian cobra,when the cobra hood is up. I think it would look cool when I hit a lat pose!! One of my favorite bber is Lee priest and I also like his tribal back tattoo.

One of my good friends used to train with Lee when he lived in Austin Texas. They still fire back and forth at each other on FB!
