VERSA-1, Compound 20, AND OEP??? Well this should be fun...

Marcusz, did you decide to go with the original version OxyElite Pro or the new formula?

 

[marcusz16]

The original of course! I love DMAA. I chose to stack all three because I love to stack C20 and OEP and my USP Labs rep told me Versa-1 goes great with a thermo.

 

[marcusz16]

So far all I've noticed is better feeling workouts. Stacked with Jack3d Micro the pumps are crazy and I feel incredible. I'll weigh in and caliper on Friday and post the results.

 

[marcusz16]

Weights felt great. Had a sick pump in my lats and bis. Vascularity was insane and I'm not usually too vascular but it was like a road map across my forearms and bis.

 

[marcusz16]

Yesterday's workout started identical to Monday's but ended with a killer leg workout.

Squats- 315x10, 350x10, 375x10
Lunges- 55lb DB 4x8 each leg
Calf Raises- 225lbs 4x20
Sled- 100lbs on the sled pulled it 5 sprints of 50 yards/pushed it 5 sprints of 50 yards.

I feel unstoppable during my workouts and my vascularity is through the roof.

 

[abformulations]

I'm in buddy

 

[marcusz16]

Today's work out started just like Tuesday's but I got my HIIT in today. It was me and my workout partner doing 10 sprints with the overspeed band, 3 sets of 20 on the jump trainer, and a final all out race of 100 yards ( I won). All of that spaced out with 45 second breaks in between. We played 5 on 5 full court basketball afterwards and were effectively wiped out.

Tossed back my favorite post workout mixture and stretched. Still feel like a million bucks during the workout and after. Vascularity getting sicker every day. I weigh in tomorrow and I'll have some results for you guys.

 

[marcusz16]

Weighed in this morning at 198 with 12% body fat. So I've lost 5lbs and 2.3% BF. While maintaining strength. I've got veins beginning to show on my stomach and shoulders.

Wow! Nice job.

 

[Piston Honda]

2.3% in 6 days?

 

[808shredded]

Kill it!! I'm in!!

 

[marcusz16]

OEP Plus lowering carb intake coupled with Versa-1 and HIIT jump started my body fat loss while helping me maintain lean mass. I thought my workouts would suffer due to the carb limiting but if anything I'd say my workouts were better with Versa-1 and Jack3d micro. I had huge, solid pumps and all kinds of focus. I can't wait to see what happens by the end of my run.

 

[bigla2004]

I'm in for this.. I'll be starting compound 20 and versa 1 here.Your bench and squat numbers are real beastly.. You could probably do some damage powerlifting with those!

 

[marcusz16]

Thanks man. During my bulk last year I decided try for a 400lb bench press, sadly I fell short but it was fun pushing heavy weights and seeing improvements.

Yeah if you trained for power I think you could get there. What's your deadlift?

 

[marcusz16]

I don't deadlift due to a pars defect of my L5 Vertebra. It only seems to bother me when I try to deadlift.

 

[marcusz16]

Same work out as last Monday, except for the skin splitting pump! Couldn't get my shirt off without help. It was awesome!

 

[jwa254]

Love getting a pump like that

 

[Distilled Water]

Weighed in this morning at 198 with 12% body fat. So I've lost 5lbs and 2.3% BF. While maintaining strength. I've got veins beginning to show on my stomach and shoulders.

Nice work boss! Much more where that came from

 

[classic34]

That's awesome when that happens but at the same time oh so uncool because you end up stuck in your cold sweaty shirt until you can remove it haha.

 

[marcusz16]

Haha yeah getting stuck in a sweaty shirt becomes a bit of a hassle but totally worth it.

 

[marcusz16]

Another awesome workout today. Veins around the waistline are beginning to stick around all the time. Muscles definitely look and feel fuller or more dense. Not a whole lot but it's only been a week and a half or so.

 

[breezy11]

Looks like you're off to a great start man. I saw a big increase in vascularity with V-1 (particularly around the waistline) as well. It should only keep getting better bud.

 

[marcusz16]

That's good to hear I'm running 2 bottles so I can only hope the results continue to escalate.

 

[marcusz16]

Great workouts are only getting better. Starting to see some nice strength gains. My reps are going up on all my major lifts. I may even max out on Monday and see if I can hit the hallowed 400 on bench.

 

[jwa254]

awesome news. glad to hear man

Good sh!t

 

[marcusz16]

It's been a great 2 weeks of workouts on Versa-1. I'll post progress shots later today with weight and BF%.

Awesome. Sounds good

 

[marcusz16]

Weighed in at 200 lbs and 10% BF so I gained 2 lbs and lost 2% BF.

 

[breezy11]

Wow! Great job so far man. The progress shown in your pics is awesome, especially considering the timeframe.

 

[marcusz16]

Thanks man I'm really enjoying this stack so far.

Wow, that's some serious progress brotha. Awesome work!

 

[abformulations]

Nice progress champ

 

[marcusz16]

First rep vascularity on Versa-1. I'm not a very vascular person so that's good for me.

 

[drewsicle3210]

Following this stack

 

[breezy11]

Nice veins man. Impressive for not being very vascular normally.

 

[marcusz16]

By the end of my workout I was twice that vascular.

 

[KellyP]

OEP old formula or new formula? That is the question!

 

[KellyP]

OK...a little confused! The new formula is DMAA free. Used the old formula with DMAA but wasn't really impressed. Now the talke is about the new formula compared to the new formula.

 

[marcusz16]

I'm using the old formula I love it.
