Pure Factors IGF T1100 log/review
So with all the talk out there about the deer velvet extract both positive and negative, I decided to give this a shot. Ray Lewis and a lot of other pros speak highly of it. From the research I did, not all of these extracts are equal. Many don't extract the active constituents to yield any significant gains. Pure Factors seems to be the most potent out on the market that I know of. Although, the ones the pros use you have go through a special dealer to get it because they get the extremely concentrated formulas that cannot be bought retail, so I opted for the T1100 which is the strongest readily available formula in retail.
Apparently this stuff takes some time to kick in before any differences are noticed. I started it two weeks ago and have not noticed any significant difference other than being a little tighter around the waist. This started to become evident a couple days ago.
I have another bottle that I will double up on soon, so I'll do one serving in the morning and one at night to see how that goes.
A sample of the style of training I'm doing right now is as follows:
Legs yesterday
Squats - 3 sets heavy x 5 reps (rest 3-5 minutes in between sets)
Leg press - 1st and 2nd set heavy for 8-12 reps, last 5 reps of 8-12 are 5 count negative, last set is drop down for 3 sets w/ last 5 negative reps (60-90 second rest)
Hack squat w/ super set sissy squat for 3 sets
Hack squat 5/1/5 tempo x 10 --> super sissy squat 10 reps (60-90 second rest)
Lying down single ham string curl - 3 sets, last 5 reps negative, last set drop down 3 sets (60-90 second rest)
Seated ham curl - same fashion as lying ham string curl
= trouble walking the next day and feeling beat lol
Diet on training days
No breakfast, just amino energy and GCT-10 prior to morning training
1. Post workout - Protein Factory custom formula 3 scoops with 1 TBS of a green complex
2. 1 whole egg w/ 1 cup egg whites, 12-15oz sweet potato, 2 TBS Flaxseed oil, 1 scoop Protein Factory ISO pure protein poweder w/ ground cinnamon
3. 1/4-1/2 cup brown brown rice, 5-6oz, tilapia, about 1-2 TBS olive oil, fresh farmers market veggies and season meal
4. 1/4-1/2 cup brown brown rice, 5-6oz, ground turkey, about 1 TBS coconut oil, fresh farmers market veggies and season meal
5. 1/4-1/2 cup brown brown rice, 6oz, tilapia, about 1-2 TBS olive oil, fresh farmers market veggies and season meal
6. 1/4-1/2 cup brown brown rice, 6oz, chicken (or sirloin steak sometimes), fresh farmers market veggies and season meal
Non training days
1. 1 whole egg, 1/2 cup egg whites, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 2 TBS Flaxseed oil, 1 TBS raw honey w/ cinnamon
2. 1/4 cup brown brown rice, 3-4oz, tilapia, about 1 TBS olive oil, fresh farmers market veggies and season meal
3. 1/4 cup brown brown rice, 3-4oz, ground turkey, about 1TBS coconut oil, fresh farmers market veggies and season meal
4. 1/4 cup brown brown rice, 4oz, tilapia, about 1-2 TBS olive oil, fresh farmers market veggies and season meal
5. 4oz, chicken (or sirloin steak sometimes), fresh farmers market veggies and season meal
6. Big bowl of pasta with chicken to carb up for morning training --> semi carb back-loading approach I guess. I do this about 3 times/week, usually night before big lift days i.e. chest, back, legs.
FYI - the rice I use is a mixture of brown and wild rice that's non-GMO organic.
I'll periodically log any differences I notice with product. I'm currently about 190 at about 10% B/F
