As for me, a wonderful 40 yrs young, am an HR Professional for the Medical Device space here in Massachusetts. I hold a BS Degree in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from FSU; Go Noles! I also ran a Vitamin World during my college days.
I fell into training when I was 17, the typical 145 lb, 5’8” twig and progressed from there. Years later I moved to Miami and started training under the wisdom of Dodd Romero and got bit by the competition bug.
It has been a few years since I last competed but am setting my sites on a show or 2 over the summer of 2013. As of this past weekend I have cleaned up my diet, egg whites, fruits, veggies, rice,salads, lean meats, protein shakes with the only true processed sugars coming from ½ a cup of flavored oatmeal mixed with 1 cup of natural oatmeal. I am also trying every other meal, little to no starchy carbs.
True deserts will be reserved from Fri and Sat, can’t go completely cold turkey.
Was fortunate enough to get chosen by Purus and will be running Condense and D-Pol. I was advised by one of the reps to use D-Pol with my dinner meal where I have also seen others mix the 2 together.I think it is important to note that since D-Pol has vitamin D, that there has to be fat in the meal for better absorption.
Yesterday morning (Thursday) was my first go around with condense. With any Powders I use a shaker bottle with one of those wire balls.
Mixability – 5/5
Taste – blown away, solid 5/5- tasted pretty much like a sour apple jolly rancher.
Took this first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, at about the 30 minute mark there was no indication that this stuff was kicking in, I generally get a tingling of some sort.
Jumped on the treadmill for 10 minutes, brisk walk to warm up the joints. Also the fact that my basement is about 55 degrees.
Hit Chest
4 sets of incline
4 sets of flat
4 sets of incline DB flyes
4 sets of flat flyes
I generally hoover in the 12-16 rep range, no need to bench heavy any more. Some of the best bodies have crappy bench numbers.
Back on target……I liked the energy, very smooth, felt lifts were solid and no crash afterwards. Good first day.
At 6:00 pm I took a scoop of D-Pol with my Dinner. As for taste I can’t comment. I had used the same water bottle from the Condense and thought I rinsed it out enough but didn’t. Still tasted jolly rancher.
Friday
Same protocol again today. 1 scoop, waited 30 minutes and 10 minutes HIT on the treadmill as I warmed up for Shoulders.
4 sets of front bar press
4 sets of Arnold presses
4 sets of DB press, palms facing in towards on another.
Another solid day. Only negative I have seen is no warning sign when this kicks in, but that’s ok.
Stay tuned and thanks for reading.
