[size=+3]AntM's Purus Labs D-Pol/Condense Log[/size]


First off, thank you to The Purus Labs Team for allowing me to log and review this stack. I will update at least five times a week and give my honest feedback on both products.


My Goals

Looking for leans gains. Maybe 1-1.25 pounds during the log. Strength increases would be nice, but I don't care how strong I am as long as I look good.


My Training


It is a modified version of PHAT


Sunday - OFF
Monday - Upper Power
Tuesday - Lower Power
Wednesday - OFF
Thursday - Chest/Back Hypertrophy
Friday - Legs Hypertrophy
Saturday - Shoulders/Triceps/Biceps Hypertrophy


On my off days, I may do some light cardio, it depends on how I'm feeling.


My Diet


I carb and calorie cycle. I weigh myself weekly and if I did not gain anything or lost weight, I will choose two days and add 25 cals to each day in the form of carbs. I do not have an exact macro split, I will post macros with each day though.


Sunday - Low carb
Monday - Medium carb
Tuesday - High Carb
Wednesday - Low Carb
Thursday - Medium Carb
Friday - Medium Carb
Saturday - High Carb


Other Supplements


NOW B-50
NP Fish Oil

Good catch guys! I have a document of an old log that I ran so it is easier to keep the coding and the layout for future logs. It makes it a little easier on me to be able to copy and paste and then just edit the numbers or exercises. However, the error I made is the one drawback!

[size=+3]Day 1[/size]

Chest/Back Hypertrophy Moderate Carb Day

All rep ranges were 8-12 with only 1-1.5 minute rest periods. This is how all hypertrophy days are. When I say 1-1.5 minutes, I set up at the one minute mark give or take. So, I either start the next set at 1 minute, but never later than 1.5 minutes. Also, I weigh myself every Sunday, so this past Sunday will be my starting weight for the log. I weighed in at 158.2, which was 2.4 pounds less than the previous week, but strength so far this week has been better.

I am going to give my initial thoughts of the taste, but going into more detail with the final review. The D-Pol was very enjoyable, not overly sweet, but pleasant given the flavor. I was expecting to have to choke it down. I used one scoop of Condense and the taste was a little week, but not bad. I felt very focused and had a nice pump in my lats, especially right under my arm pits.

Good initiative with having the pre fabbed format! I see you're goals are mainly aesthetic based, but even a skeleton can look ripped, don't go too far down the rabbit hole and not consider putting on some size!

I hear ya man. I didn't mean to lose weight over the last week. I am for .25-.5 pounds a week. I really try to avoid gaining more than that in a week period.

See you're a hammer strength man huh?

Not quite. I love my free weights, but save them for my power days. My upper power day has zero machines. With the short rest periods on my hypertrophy days, I have found the machines have helped me keep my form.

[size=+3]Day 2[/size]

Lower Hypertrophy Moderate Carb Day

Had an amazing session today, simply amazing. I don't know if it was the pumpkin spice pancakes I made this morning or what. Went with one scoop of Condense, the taste was better today. The taste of the D-Pol is simply amazing, I could sip on it all day. My pumps were very good too and endurance seemed better than normal. Despite losing weight from last week, weight went up on all exercises with either an increase in reps as well or a similar rep range.

The Condense is flavored relatively lightly in terms of some products on the market. Drink it with less water and you'll get the full flavor effect. I don't use much water myself.

I tried less water with ice cold water today for Condense and it was perfect. But good God, you guys NAILED the flavor of D-Pol. If that was a protein powder, I'd buy 20 pounds in a heart beat.

DAA is a bit easier to flavor. I'm with you it's amazing.
Thus might go without saying but don't get caught up and drink too much. I've done 2 scoops a day before spread out (can't say if this really made it better or not) but more than that may be asking for trouble.

I've drank too much DAA before. All day bathroom session lol

This man speaks the truth. Ive tried the 2 scoops 12 hrs(ish) apart didnt really notice any difference.

I don't see the need for two scoops. But mixing them, I can see that tasting pretty good. However, D-Pol says to take with a pre workout meal and Condense about 0 minutes pre workout. I have my pre workout meal about 1.5 hours prior to lifting, so I would be having the D-Pol about 75 minutes after my last meal.

OFF Day Low Carbs

Weighed in at 157.2, one pound less than last week. Not the direction I want to go, but I am definitely leaner, stronger, and look bigger. Waist went down a little too thus far. Cals are going up this week on my off days. I did HIIT cardio this morning, 10 intervals.

Can be taken anytime usually with any meal. Looking forward to hearing any pros and cons you've noticed so far.

I'll give a more in depth update next Sunday, an off day. Wednesday is an off day as well, but Sunday will give me a week and a half so I can better assess the products.

[size=+3]Day 5[/size]

Despite losing another pound, weight and/or reps increased on everything this week. I felt very good and strong. Except on my first set of bench. I was nervous. I think because on Saturday, I failed on my last rep of my last set of close grip bench. That was with lighter weight so it was not an issue, I didn't want 190 laying on my chest. I got the confidence after the first set.

Lower Hypertrophy Moderate Carb Day

I was shocked with my workout today, squats in particular. My hammies were still a little sore so I thought that would hurt my squats coming out of the hole. Reps and or weight increased again this week. I felt like I could have hit hammies harder if they were fully recovered. But I'm still very happy with the work I put in. I will be increasing the weight of the squats next week since I hit double digits each set.

I went lighter on hammer curls today because both sets of 30 pound dumbbells were taken. So, I did them last and seated to make them a little harder. I'm sticking with this, I liked it a lot. Went heavier or got more reps again. I forgot to drop one of the pins on the straight cable pressdowns by accident.

Here are my thoughts so far. Libido is slightly increased. This is not a make or break thing of a product for me, but lets me know it is working. Strength has increased is weight loss. I also look bigger and feel a little fuller. The taste of D-Pol is in a class of its own...hands down. I am very tolerant to stims, but have had a nice run with Condense so far. I am not getting any added energy, but focus is definitely increased. Pumps are also insane as well. Last week on hypers, my lower back was too pumped at one point. Lower back pumps are the worst.

[size=+3]Day 12[/size]

Yesterday, I weighed in at 156, 1.2 pounds down...not the direction I'd like to be heading, but I am looking very lean. Cals will be going up this week on high carb days. Workout today was amazing. I asked someone to watch me on my last set of bench, I think that gave me to confidence to go for 4 reps. Everything went up weight wise, rep wise at the same weight, or both. I think next week I am going to stick with most of the same weight and try to get more reps. As for pullups, I am past the rep range I aim for. I am thinking about buying a dip belt, but am waiting for a deal somewhere. Floor presses were exactly the same this week, but I was able to explode more. I also noticed on flat bench it was easier at the top of the motion.

Also, I am going to start something new in this section; a daily rant if I have one. This is to vent and maybe even start more conversation in this thread. Today's rant is not racking your damn weights. I don't want to waste my time or energy unloading a barbell that has 315 on it, especially when you're doing quarter squats. Not only that, but older people and women use power racks, smith machines, and leg presses too. I had to go over to the rack next to me to take off 225 for a girl. It was set up just above her head level; there was no way she was doing that by herself. I used to be one of those people that would leave one plate on everything, but my perspective changed after my transplant. When I first went back to the gym, lifting a 45 was a task in itself. We need to respect others and put our weights back.

So, I got rear ended some time ago. I got an estimate, from the other person's insurance company's preferred shop, to bring that to my auto body tech. This was last Thursday. I brought the car in yesterday and yesterday afternoon, my tech called me and said that the check was for less than what was estimated. I called the other person's insurance company and the rep said the preferred shop wrote it out for the lower amount. He must have done that after he called me back Thursday asking if I was going to use his shop. I told him no thank you, I have my own. I told the insurance company rep this and she said she would get it straightened out. What the hell is wrong with people. Are there no more decent and honest people out there? Maybe there is, but we don't hear about the good deeds they do. Honestly, I am starting to lose my faith in humans on many levels.

Lower Hypertrophy Moderate Carb Day

Today's session was very good despite getting up early for work. My hammies felt so much better than last week. The hamstring part of the workout was much easier. I went up 10 pounds on squats this week.

[size=+3]Day 19[/size]

Weighed in at 154.8 yesterday, weight still going the wrong way. I raised my cals by 25 in carbs on moderate carb days. Improved a little on today's session. Seems like strength is going up in smaller increments now; I guess I can't complain since body weight and fat is down.

Haven't had one! Although I did just have to dump $1,169 into my car AND I have to pay my spring tuition by the 15th. I may have to prostitute on the side.

Ive considered selling my body for money more than once. Unfortunately not many women are into the "large hairy man" look.

Gotta shave your body bro, that's what I do (STRONG no homo)

I just saw Ant at the gym, the guy is a straight up monster! He was throwing around 45s like they were peanuts! I snapped a quick pic of him.

Sorry I couldn't chit chat with you bud, I didn't want to hold up my trainer. Next time I see you though, be prepared for an in depth convo lol.

It was great meeting you too Dan! I was completely taken by surprise. That and doing heavy RDL at the time made me at a loss for words. Maybe we can train together some time too. Johnathan is a good trainer, you're in good hands.

Today's session was AMAZING, I absolutely killed it. It also killed me; I'm exhausted now.

On a side note, I have been foam rolling my lats for the past week, I always have rolled post workout, but just started doing lats as of late. It is so damn painful! Also, when I was doing my RDL, I had this random guy I never saw before come up to me in between his set and mine. Turned out to be Dirty Dan! We established we went to the same gym a while ago. Pretty cool. He came up to me and asked if I was Ant, then he told me who he was. He killed it with his deadlifts!

Bonus! Here is a leg shot about an hour post workout. The separation in my legs, especially from the side is unreal. This doesn't show that, but it is a crappy cell phone pic so you can see the vascularity I have which I only get when I'm real lean. The picture is not very clear, but it is more impressive in person.

Chest/Back Hypertrophy Moderate Carb Day

There's something fundamental you have to understand about yourself before you can change your life for good. -Ali Vincent

Barbell Bench

150x12,10,7+2 rest pause

I did not hit my goal of 8 on the last set. I think I burned myself out on the first set. Also, I tried suicide grip which threw me off. I used to bench that way, but recently went to conventional. I am going to go back to conventional. The take off is difficult with a suicide grip. Anyways, prior to the rest pause, I got 29 total reps and last week I got 28 total. So, an increase despite not hitting that 8. I think next week, I will go to 155 and just go for 3 sets of 8.

Incline DB

55x10,9,8

Same reps as last week, felt easier though
