BioCor and Double S Team up

[double s]

Thank you in advance to BioCor for allowing me to try 3 of their products, Agmatine, Citrulline and Divamax. Unfortunately due to high levels of Creatinine in my kidneys I forwarded my creatine to DJBombsquad for review.

Quick review of me, former competitive bodybuilder, now husband, father and hardworking grunt (LOL). Degree in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology from Florida State University and now living in Boston proper.
5 weeks ago I bought a Fitbit Flex, yes I sold out but it has been a God Send. If you don’t know what it is, look it up. I have lost about 10 lbs in 5 weeks with it’s help.
Diet is on point and my goal is to lean out and try to preserve as much muscle as possible.
I generally work out upon rising, empty stomach and use a PWO, cup of coffee or something to give me a wake up boost.
Today since I was working from home, had breakfast and lifted about 2 hours later. Used 1 scoop of citrulline and 1 scoop of Agmatine, mixed in a shaker bottle with 6 oz of Fruitopia no calorie drink.It was quite bitter, not sure which product set this off but down the hatch.
Waited 20 minutes, watched an episode of The League then 10 minutes on treadmill of Supertroopers. Yes I have never seen this before.
Shoulders:
Warm up
2 sets of rotator cuff bends
4 sets of incline bench side laterals (5lb, 10lb, 15lb, 15lb)
4 sets of Plate incline raises (25, 25, 35, 35)
4 sets of rear laterals (high reps 25-30), (5 lbs, 5, 10, 10)

Days of lifting heavy are over, it is all about angles and form.

Abs
Hanging leg raise (4 sets)
Lying crunches (4 sets)
Opposite knee to elbows (4 sets)
Just had a protein shake and popped the Divamax
Good workout today, Felt strong, shoulders felt tight (skin wise), perhaps a combo of leaning out, and the 2 BioCor products….

Some pictures will be forthcoming as well.

Stay tuned.

lol...not that old!!!

subbed...i think this stack should be well suited for your goals double S....most loggers are seeing more endurance and recovery.

 

[double s]

Pretty excited myself. I know there is generally a few days for the Agm to take effect.

Anyone know if heat effects agm or cit as I was thinking of adding to my coffee but I guess I can always do a cold cafe if need be

Morning all,

Tried mixing the Ci/Agm with an iced coffee which had spenda and flavored milk, still very bitter but again on with the show.

Started my morning with HIT Treadmill 15 mins, fluctuating between 4/6 mph, watched SuperTroopers.

Quick set of Bi's, all exercises performed with elbows behind my back

Wide Grip Straight bar, 45lb, 55, 65, 70
Shoulder width Curl Bar 25, 55, 65, 65
Reverse forearm curls - straight bar - 2 sets no weight

Again felt good, nice clean energy, arms felt full. Can't wait until this stuff really sets in...I think next Monday will start 2 scoops of the Agm

Have a great day

my 1st experience with agmatine was MAN"S blue print, when it 1st came out dinoii recommended a before bed dose...i have been using it this way ever since.

to answer your question...yes a before workout/before bed dose is how i would do it!!!

Hello All,

Long day as I m jut getting back from a fied trip with my daughter.

Anyway quick update

Decided to take 1 scoop of Agm prior to bed.

Got up this mornng and mixed another scoop with Citr in one of my PWO's that does not have either. Flavorsactully wored out wll due to the bitter flavor of this PWO.

Legs today - long overdue after nursing a knee injruy for the last 3 weeks.

Things went very well

Lef extensions, 65, 65, 75
Squats (I do not lock out at the top bt just keep going to keep stress on the quads) 115, , 135, 185, 185
Stair runs with 10 lbs plates, walk up every 2 stairs (13 total) run down - 4 sets

Definitely a winded morning, heartracing, sweat pooring = great day!

Enjoy the weekend



Currently looking for guests and listener Q&A

[double s]

Morning All,

Progress continues to move nicely.

Yesterday was 20 mins on treadmill HIT for 20 mins

Hamstrings,

Stiff legged with Curl Bar 35, 55, 115, 115, 115
Lunges 4 sets of 10, 10 lb plate

Another 10 mins of cardio, 10 degree incline, 3.5 mph

Abs

Decided to do 2 scoops of Agm, 1 scoop Citmal and PWO

Intensity was there, loved it but after about 30 mins post workout, eyes felt heavy, alot of pressure couldn't focus so 2 scoops may have been too much. Will tailor back to one scoop.


Thurs:

10 mins of treadmill, 4 mph (no HIT today)
Triceps

Skullcrushers 35, 55, 75, 65,55
Incline close grip bench 65, 85, 105, 105
Band pushdowns, palms facing in 2 sets

Like butter baby.

I also continue to use the Divamax, can't quite say I am noticing much, perhaps there is an attenuation period?

Anyone going to the Hartford Pro Show this weekend?

Lastly, I would like to introduce you to my future wife, she doesnt know it yet.

 

[thebigt]

i am noticing better mood and slight increase in libido...it might take 3 weeks to fully kick in, good thing is you get over 5 weeks out of a bottle of divamax!!!

 

[double s]

Hi all,

Day off from training and cardio...strictly Divamax

We are currently a week and a half in and I am quite pleased.

As I may or may not have mentioned, I am currently cutting - in a deficit of 5-700 calories per day, bodyfat is slowly dropping and belt/jeans are becoming looser.

What I have noticed thus far - my muscles seem to still say full, bi's, pecs, shoulders etc but abs are getting tighter so I definitely see where this might be an additionally great product when dieting and trying to spare lean muscle.

Focus is good, & lifts are nicely going up

Anyone going to the Hartford show tomorrow?

Great day today. Daughter had swim class at the Y and when in Rome, decided to work out there today. I love my personal gym but it’s nice to mix things up with fresh faces and new equipment.
Chest today – mixed 1 scoop of agm, citmal in water. Note to self, don’t brush your teeth then take Agm, definitely not a pleasant taste. Changed it up a bit, instead of slamming it like I generally do, decided to slam ½ and sip the rest during my workout.

Incline DB’s 35, 50, 60,60 (8-12 range)
Flat DB’s 60, 65, 70, 70 (8-12 range)
Machine press stacked weight – 90, 110, 125
Cable crossovers heavy then immediate drop set 40/30lbs, 50/30, 60/30

Seated Calf raises – 4 sets
Standing calf raises 4 sets
Awesome day, had a cup of coffee and oatmeal 1 ½ hrs prior. As I sit here, should doesn’t feel right but heck , no pain.

Also went to the Hartford show today, kind of a disappointment, not as much swag, not as many companies…oh well.

 

[chefbo]

nice chest and calf day!like the rep range...volume!

like to see how you have your gym setup. do you have a rack or smith machine? shoot me some pictures if you can . i have minimal space to add on but it would save me a lot of time running if i could stock my own space.

Look at first page of this thread as I have pics. Powertec half cage. You can buy lat pulldown but due to my drop ceiling no hood for me. For let's I use machine at office gym. Plates off of Craig's list and leg extension that locks into the bench. Works for me

lol....i have a basement full of top notch equiptment i bought at yards sales and from ad's in newspaper....around febuary is best time to buy, lol.....all of those failed new years resolutions!!! i am a hoarder, every time i see something bb'ing related i buy it, and my wife says i never get rid of anything---she is right, lol.

makes no sense to me to pay retail when you can buy hardly used stuff for pennies on the dollar!!! some of my iron weights might be dinged and rusty, but 50lbs is still 50 lbs!!!

 

[BioCorRob]

Keep it up double s! Sorry I haven't been around much. We are getting ready to launch a new product and its been a bit hectic.

Moring All,
Short week, M-W then off to the Berskhires for a few days of R&R.
Decided to pop a thermo and spooned down a scoop of Agm and Citmal
20 minutes HIT, 4mph then 5/6 mph, 2 degree incline
Quick biceps,
Used my rubber bands today
4 sets of biceps curls 20 reps
4 sets of hammers
2 sets wrist curls, straight bar, palms facing the floor
Nice pump all around, BF continues to drop nicely, aside from the beer and ice cream last night (not together of course) but I have learned that I eat soo clean that the simple sugars I take in occasionally from things like Ice Cream, fill me out nicely.
As an aside, shoulder is nicely tweaked from the chest workout…guess I’ll have to train legs more this week.

Take it light!

I think that sometimes when I see someone else's. hell if someone wants to read it that's fine if not that's cool too. I am doing for the company that sponsored me and if not I am doing for me. if someone gets something from it then my job is done, and if I get something to learn from experienced lifters then I am all the better for it. You got experience dude I listen to what guys like you have to say about training. and I am better for it! happy a great 4th and thank a veteran! this is a double posting so disregard the earlier one.

After 2 1/2 days of Sun, outdoor/indoor pools and mild gluttony/drinking, back in the saddle today although somewhat hard. You eat VERY good for weeks and it takes 2 days to totatally pollute the system, not complaining at all but I am sure you all know what this is about.

Agm/Citmal and coffee......can't get out of my own funk today so going super light for reps

Chest (embarrassed to put weights)

5 sets decline 20-25 reps
5 sets flat bench 18-20 reps

Workout shake....Enjoy your Sat!
