The wait is now over! I am going to be logging the products listed in the title (obviously). Let's get things going

Supplements:
Along with the suggested supplements used with X gels, I will be using biocor creatine mono, orange triad, and endurance as my bcaas. I'm actually doing a sponsored log on endurance right now so if you are interested in that product, be sure to check it out.

Diet:
Clean bulk

Training: a mix of push/pull/legs and p/rr/s

I just had bloodwork today (nothing hormonal, just basic panels) and will post anything of interest. My diet has been dirty dirty bulk as of late so hdl and ldl may be outta wack.



I have not yet received my x gels and endosurge but it's ok. I'm going to be running anabeta until the products arrive then add those products in kinda like bridging all of them. I have also thought about doing anabeta 4 weeks and the rest for an additional 8 weeks for a total of 12. Haven't ran any test boosters in probably 6 months or so so I am very eager to get back into the game. I weighed in at the doctor at 181 today. My goal is to simply put on mass. I am on my phone so I will post more later but the log begins right now!! Going to hit legs in a few minutes and will post numbers up. Dosing anabeta 2 pre 2 post with carbs. Thanks for following!!

Wednesday 11/20 Day 1 on anabeta

Last night (Wednesday) was leg day. My chiro won't let me do anything big weight wise really cause of my back so I did various exercises. Here's what I did

Overhead squats
Leg press
Straight Leg dead
Leg Extension
Weighted squat walks

He wants me to strengthen my lower back but slowly work into it. Hopefully I'll be able to do real weight soon and log the numbers. Nothing to note as of yet. Today or tomorrow i will be doing my pull day.

I am currently in my 6-10 rep range right now. Monday I will be in the week of drop sets/super sets.


Oh, blood work was all normal. My albumin was 5.0, on the high end of normal. Idk why lol

Thursday 11/21 day 2

Listened to my body and took the day off. Went to the chiropractor, got adjusted and deep tissue done and feel great. Just want I needed. Ready to hit chest tomorrow then back Saturday and have Sunday off to watch football. Too bad my eagles aren't playing! They suck anyways lol

About to dose my last cap of anabeta then hit the sheets. probably won't update tomorrow because I play on the worship team at my church and we have practice Friday nights. I stay there from 3-9 then go eat some fajitas or something after. If I get some free time I will update. Look for some more in depth ones by Sunday at the latest.

Monday 11/25

Hit legs but went light, alot of high rep stuff and super sets/drops. thoughts on anabeta so far:

Haven't noticed that pump effect like I have in the past. I dose with carbs every time

Libido hasn't changed

Acne increasing on face

No change in aggression

Sleep has been the same. No change

Wednesday 11/27

Pull day - S week
All of these are drop sets except the last which is a super set

T bar row machine
45x12
90x12
70x8
45x6

Preacher
70x12
60x8
55x6

Seated row
115x12
85x8
55x6

EZ bar wide grip curl SS rack pulls wide grip
80x12 ss rack pulls wide grip bw x 10
70x6 RP BW x6

Single hand cable curls
3 sets all drop focused hard on form

Slowly working up my volume. Haven't received my x gels yet but once I do I will start along with gms and other goodies.

Note for anabeta: hunger has hit me. Last time I took AB it came and went like a wave. Let's see if this time it will stay. I sure hope so. Haven't weighed in since the start so maybe Friday at the gym when I do legs I will. Gonna do legs Friday then push routine Saturday then watch football Sunday and pig out on left overs while I recover. Nothing to note yet really.

I'm not focused on my strength gains and it will be hard to follow my numbers since I'm on p/rr/s but if I feel I am getting stronger in one area, I will note. Also, I log numbers on an app on my phone and it tells me what I did last time so if I increase any I will be sure to put that in here. X gels, please hurry!! It's gonna be interesting bridging anabeta to x gels to endosurge. I've never done something like this with natural products before.

Saturday 11/30

Been out of protein for 2 weeks now but finally went and got some. Today's lift was really good but man did it hurt. Drop sets for the entire workout really kill. Here is what I did

Machine incline
95x10
65x8
50x6

DB flat
90x10
75x8
55x6

Flys
Forget the numbers. Just focus on depth and feel. 3 drop sets

Cable lateral raises

15x8
10x6

Front lateral raises
Forget the numbers

Dips
Body weight DC style (rest pause)

Now that I have gone through this routine for one round, I can really start to work on the numbers. Monday will be back and biceps for the beginning of "power" week. All low rep stuff. Hopefully one of my orders of x gels comes in Monday or Tuesday. I'm so eager to start those

12/2

Glad it's December! Love the weather and graduating in a week from nursing school but add on another year for surgical tech school to double major. Ugh. Just wanna work and get paid!!! Anyways, I have some news!

Stepped on the scale this morning and I'm +2 pounds! Haven't even started endosurge or x gels yet. Only anabeta. Let's see if this will hold. Been eating like a horse. Pretty dirty but I still have my abs hahaha.

Today was pull day with power reps. Here are my numbers (I did power week before I started anabeta and my numbers from today are about 5-10 pounds more than a few weeks ago).

Deadlift
135 warmup
225x5 for 3 sets (gotta stay at this weight till approved by chiropractor to move up)

Straight Leg deads
95x10
185x6
195x4
205x2

Really stretched my lower back out. Felt awesome

T bar row machine
90x7
120x6
125x4

Wide grip pull ups
Body weight x 7 x 6 x 5 x 4

Seated DB curl
30x8
40x7
45x5
50x3

Very happy to see the scale moving already. Once I get all my sups I'll take a pic of everything I'm using and post on here.

Edit: late night update...libido is def up. It has been gradual but today its just been crazy. Will keep note of this. I can't imagine what I'm going to feel with X gels and endosurge lol

a 5-10lb increase in weights is damn good for just a 2 lb increase in bodyweight, imo.

not surprised you can still see abs!!!

my strength is going up on anabeta alone right now. imagine with Prime what i would be doing!!!
That's what I'm using right now lol.

Adding endosurge soon, possibly Formasurge (although, I haven't decided whether I should save that for later or not)

it seems to be hit or miss with everybody. It is under dosed so you need to run it at the 69 protocol. def need more than 1 bottle which is why many people do not like it cause for a solid run at the right dose, its pricey. But it is by far the best supplement that I have used for strength gains. And when i say strength gains, I mean 50 pounds squats in 8 weeks kinda gains. Unreal. I just respond to it really well i guess. I remember my first run with it. Gained 25 pounds on bench and 30 on squat in 4 weeks.

That is very impressive gains for 8 weeks. I may have to give it a try.

I ran ArA stacked with AB + Forskolin. I've ran AB before so I knew how it works for me and it does help with strength but the addition of ArA was nuts. My strength shot through the roof for the final 4 weeks.

Lol, well 4 months ago I got out of the army at 173 :laugh:


I enlisted about 2.5 years ago at 142.


I figure it'll take at least a couple of years to be where I want to be.

On most of my lifts I could have done more, but it was an increase already from the last time. One shipment of X gels comes in today and the other on Friday. One of em is the older version so I have 3 bottles of that one coming = 1 bottle of the new one. I will start it today. Today is supposed to be leg day, but with X gels here, the inner wanna be beach bod punk in me wants to hit back and biceps lol
