I will be running a final cutting phase/cycle with the aid of a few of USPlabs products that I believe should yield great results. Being about 14% Bf its still a decent deal of recomp left before the frame is looking above par but time is on my side. My training style is very sporadic at times. I workout consistently atleast 6 days a week and continuous at times. I do about 3 days of "cardio" (HIIT depending on the weather) and am having no issues dropping weight so far this year. Diet is alot better than most but could always be cleaner.
Supps:

Into my 3rd week of Prime following the 6 caps a day routine taking 3 with breakfast and 3 PWO along with my thermo powder. Really noticing the side effects more than ever around this week and will post a week by week review later.

Anabolic Pump: I usually only take it with lunch but will start incorporating it into my breakfast plans soon enough.

OxyElite Thermo Powder: Only taken PWO, and enjoy the feeling it gives. first week gave an awesome thermo feeling but has died down as of late. Leg days and explosive training really kicks it back into high gear. Was going to switch off to the new Jack3d Advanced but it didnt arrive with the CP20 so I may have to sub in something close or try Volt.

Versa-1: Other than a decent tunnel vision effect I cant apply alot to this supp as I ran it with the IC deal months back. Hoping to see much more distinguished results stacking this supp with CP20

CP20: The one supp Ive been window shopping after for some time now. Running it as the label implies, 2 caps with breakfast and another 2 PWO. Even on my rest days I do some sort of activity so it will be taken then.

Oxyelite Protein/Cellucor Cor-Whey: Protein to add in to make up for diet restrictions at times, also a Post-WO go to, I love switching between these flavors.

Multi: Need to get some!

This includes the current array of supps at my disposal and I cant wait to get this party started.

Not calorie counting as I was 2 months ago as I have a decent idea of what foods work for me and the quantities that I benefit the best from. If I notice that my results are slowing or strength is declining than I will re-evaluate and post the game plan to receive the community's ideas on. Any tips will be greatly appreciated as Im still growing into my own and allowing my body to speak for my commitment. Will try to post pics and vids as I go along, and welcome any and everyone to drop in.

I would like to Thank USPlabs to allow me to participate in their promos and I see no better way to say thanks than to run an UnSponsored log.

As far as using Prime week to week here are my takes thus far

Started taking these about 3 weeks ago I believe and I have a solid 7 days worth of servings left, tommorrow is my off day for these so a little longer on the standard serving protocol. May bump up to the 6/9 protocol next depending on my last week.

Week 1: Nothing to really write in about. Caps dont have an aftertaste and doesnt produce GI issues at all.

Week 2: Noted increase in hunger and thats about it. No other noticeable sides yet

Week 3: Small things really piss me off lately, its nothing that isnt easily controlled but noted that once Im mentally fed up I stop caring on certain subjects. Also it doesnt take much to get a rise out of me in terms of arousal. Cant wait to see where this leads. Recovery is better overall as well.

Didn't go insane and the supersets kept my time to just over an hour and I left, not alot of motivating people help my tempo this night. Next Back day on Sat will be way more productive. Other abs and biceps were done around to fill in time gaps but nothing worth noting

Today was an awesome shoulder session that really helped me realized where my shoulder strength has been. Ate extremely well today and know on this day I made myself a little better.

No extra sides from my current 9 caps routine but I wonder if its a good option at 9 caps daily 6x a week? Dont want to overdo it ya know?
Versa= still adds that tunnel vision feel and its really the only thing I can say I notice atm, makes you want to keep the headphones in and do work
Been only taking AP with meals and looking to try it PWO maybe with an oatmeal bar and a Gatorade for simple sugars? IDK but looking to get some more from it
CP20= nothing crazy to report yet but am sure this is more on a 2 week thing before "I" see a wow factor
Thermo powder= just enough left for 2 more days, its been good to me and with a sweatshirt it makes ya wna strip quick, been dosing at 2 scoops regularly

Thats my supp note for the week, will update on this when I notice a change in "feel" or composition

How do u use the foam roller?
Depends on the body part, but for back I usually lay my spine down the roller with a rolled up shirt to support my neck and roll laterally across my scap come to neutral and repeat 3x before hitting the other side. Then with the roller longways i support my head with my hands and cover my rhomboids more. Usually pause over any trigger points I notice but lately I have been pretty smooth. We have a short foam roller (YMCA) but it gets the job done.

Do you use one regularly?

Would have went back to it but some old lady started taking a nap on it and we stopped caring about it lol, and I didnt even look towards the starting weights I was using as the machine is so flawed and overly easy

Storm started rolling in and we left, Me and my lifting bud were out of gas today and today I feel like the gym kicked my ass. Hate leg days like these but its what adds progress to the others. Im happy with the results once written out as I was feeling that I had cheated myself.

Are you using 9 caps on non-training days as well or running the 6/9 protocol? Either way, I haven't experienced, nor have I heard of negative sides with 9 caps of PRIME...strength gains were great though :). How many bottles do you currently have? I'd personally choose a longer run (8-12 weeks) over a higher dosed, shorter cycle.

AP could be beneficial whenever you're consuming carbs (recommended ~30g minimum). Utilizing it before a pre-workout meal should be solid. I usually take one of my doses with some pre-workout oats and find muscle fullness/pumps are great during training sessions. I'd recommend complex carbs (take longer to break down and AP's acute effects keep working for a while) over simple sugars; however, they both end up as glucose and AP doesn't discriminate. :D

Nice sessions as well man. Repping out those 120's is impressive.

I work out 6 honest days a week, been doing it for awhile and havent seen any ill effects from it so far. I have however been dosing just 6 caps on my lighter days and 9 caps on my heavy days. Usually 9 caps on 1-2 muscle group days and only 6 on full body, touch up, or rep days. I also just finished my 1st bottle and have another ready to rock and roll with and still take my full Sunday off from the supp. Hope this isnt a bad approach.
I just started using AP PWO, meal was an oatmeal square and Gatorade that transferred over into my workout 60mins prior. Only drank about half of the Gatorade pre and finished the rest during. I was quite full in appearance but will attempt it a few more times to really gauge its effectiveness.

Chest Day has come back around!!!

Flat Db Bench: Consistent time up and down
60x15
60x15
80x15
80x15
100x12

225x20
225x20
225x15
225x15 Felt really good and had a great chest pump going

Rack C.N.S. ISO Press: Read about this a few days ago and wanted to try. Loaded the bar up with 405 mid lockout and struggled away
405x6secs
405x6secs

Foam rolling.... I've never tried it but I know I should. We even have foam rollers at the gym. Thanks for the reminder Movement, I'm going to give it a shot. :)

I work out 6 honest days a week, been doing it for awhile and havent seen any ill effects from it so far. I have however been dosing just 6 caps on my lighter days and 9 caps on my heavy days. Usually 9 caps on 1-2 muscle group days and only 6 on full body, touch up, or rep days. I also just finished my 1st bottle and have another ready to rock and roll with and still take my full Sunday off from the supp. Hope this isnt a bad approach.
I just started using AP PWO, meal was an oatmeal square and Gatorade that transferred over into my workout 60mins prior. Only drank about half of the Gatorade pre and finished the rest during. I was quite full in appearance but will attempt it a few more times to really gauge its effectiveness.
Your PRIME dosing looks good man. I'd roll with it unless you'd rather extend your cycle somewhat.

You could play around with your AP/carb timing to help figure out what works best (some people respond faster/slower than others). I'd recommend trying a few different approaches and making note of how you respond with each one. However, if you're prone to feeling hypoglycemic from GDA's, I wouldn't wait too long before eating.
