Welcome
This sponsored log will chronicle my experience with Athletix High Volume and Acute FX as stacked pre-workout supplements.
Both supplements will be dosed at recommended dosages, but because of the stellar profile for both products I’ve decided to buy an additional unit of each to extend this log to a full 40 day run.
I hope that this will provide a more extensive feedback regarding the consistency and efficacy of these products, particularly when dealing with things like stimulant tolerance and gauging the ability of a pre-workout to accentuate endurance (and pumps) during weight training.
History, Mentality, and Goals
For those of you who are unfamiliar with my logs and logging style, I’ll note that the emphasis of my training is towards powerlifting. After several years of hypertrophy training (with goals for competitive bodybuilding), I’ve decided to make the transition towards a more strength-oriented approach and “end game” for my training.
For those of you who have followed my logs at PHF—and to a lesser degree at AM—you will know that it’s been quite a road for me, full of ups, downs, and steps both forward and backwards. As with most things in life, however, honesty is the best policy. I have been a victim to both ego-lifting and a lack of proper knowledge base to varying degrees during my training career: but fortunately I have put both of these obstacles behind me, and can pursue my development with self-honesty and positivity.
My long term goal is to compete in the ~180lbs weight class as a raw powerlifter (federation yet to be decided), though I plan on placing in a year or so more structured strength training before I begin. I am attracted to the test of physical and mental fortitude that powerlifting provides, and though I still maintain a “bodybuilder’s mentality” with regards to diet, conditioning, and proportions—slow, steady, and sustainable strength development are the means to my ends.
The goal for this log is to employ the Athletix stack in the most productive and efficacious fashion possible: to produce positive progress both under the bar and in the mirror.
Training
I currently employ Wendler’s 5/3/1 for Powerlifting template, with the Simplest Strength Template as the basis for my major accessory work, after which I pursue a more “pump-oriented” approach until the end of my sessions. I prefer not to employ bands, chains, and other more specialized forms of equipment for my training.
Notes and Gratitude
I will be recording my exercises, weights moved, caloric consumption, and dietary content as per my usual logging protocol; I will also be posting image updates periodically.
I want to thank the Athletix reps, particularly JudgementDay and wasme, for providing me with this opportunity, as well as all who follow, contribute, and engage one another (and myself) during the course of this log.
Let’s get to work!
