It's that time of year again! My bulk has been fun...I've gained some decent LBM as well as some not-so-LBM, and now we need to get this body worthy for the Beach come this summer time. I'm only looking to lose 1-2lbs a week to keep as much muscle as I can so 6 months should be plenty of time to get me there. I have a regimen lined up to get me through the next 4 months, starting with this killer fat-burning stack by USPLabs. Thanks to the team for awarding me these supplements for winning one of their contests! I felt it was only appropriate that I log how the stack works for me...plus I just like doing logs, it keeps me honest!

Day 1 - Monday

Took 1 pill OxyElite in the AM on an empty stomach followed by 1 pill 5 hours later. About 30 mins after my first dose I felt the sweats come on and mood was elevated. I have to point out that I tend to be "moody" in the winter time but I felt great all day! 2 pills of Compound 20 was taken about an hour after I dosed the OEP since it's supposed to be taken with food and I didn't want to eat too close to taking the the OEP. 2 more pills of C20 were taken an hour after I dosed the second OEP. This will most likely be the way I take the two throughout this log. Normally today would've been a W/O day but this great midwest weather kept me indoors.

Day 2 - Tuesday (Off)

Supps were dosed the same as Monday.

Day 3 - Wednesday

Woke up at 5am and took my PrWO supp. It's pretty stim-heavy so I waited until after my workout to dose it. Again, I have been feeling pretty awesome! I talk to a lot of people at my job which involves selling/debating and I can tell how much more positive I am. Tomorrow I'm going to take OEP 30 mins PrWO and see what the effects are.

Today was Bench Press day which consisted of:

Bench Press
145x5
170x5
190x9

Incline DB Press (60s rest)
40x15
50x15
50x9
40x9
40x8

Seated Iso-row (60s rest)
90x15
90x12
90x12
90x12
90x10

Cable Triceps Pushdowns (60s rest)
80x15
100x12
100x12
100x12

I took a full dose (2 pills) of OxyELITE about 30 mins pre WO. The stim effect wasn't as intense as I'm used too but I'm also very stim-tolerant. The workout went well and I had plenty of energy to get through the exercises but my intensity wasn't as, well, intense. I think a lot of people could use this as a PrWO but I'm gonna need something a bit more specific. My mood still remains elevated as I've been able to notice during a little spat my wife and I had. Normally I would've got defensive and told her why she was being ridiculous, but I felt more "understanding" and was able to just talk to her about it on that level. I will mention that I felt pretty wiped after my workout, like I could've gone back to sleep (of course, I was also running on 5 hours of sleep), and that never happens when I take a committed PrWO supp. So from now on I'll be taking my PrWO 30 mins before I go to the gym and take the OEP afterwards.
