Become The Alpha: The Solution & Ultimate T

[The Solution]

USP Labs Ultimate T Log

Thank you to USP Labs for allowing me to log this upcoming product prior to the IC Release

Below are my thoughts and things I will record through the logging of this product and the 120 caps provided.

Nutrition

I have been dieting for over 22 weeks and started my reverse diet. Starting Macros are as follows, and will be modified throughout the log by my coach (Inov8ElitePerformance) whom I work with

Starting calories:
Protein ~ 225g
Carbs ~ 225g (Workout) / 180g (non-Workout)
Fat ~ 50g (Workout) / 60g (Non-Workout)

Training

Inov8ElitePerformance Dues my training as well (Austin Stout) whom is my coach dictates my mesocycles.
Currently my mesocycle is a mix of lifting 5x a week between an upper/lower split. Some weeks I do 3x Upperbody and sometimes 3x lowerbody. It just depends on the week and what I am doing. All workouts will be outlined from the mesocycle provided by Austin and I will record the strength gains I see on the product.

Supplements

On top of Ultimate T I am sticking to the essentials to give this the full gauge:

Whey protein (To meet protein needs)
Multi (Micronutrients)
Fishoil (Omega 3’s)
BCAA (prior to fasted training if I train upon waking)
Probiotic (Digestive aid)
Digestive Enzyme (Digestive Aid)
Creatine (Staple year round)

I am cycling off stimulants At the moment after a long cut, so that way I can not throw anything else into the mix the skew results

Changes

I will be logging these in particular:
• Strength
• Body Recomposition
• Mood / Alertness / Focus
I have never ran Ultimate T or know what the formula is, so these are the main things that will be touched on as far as the product log goes. I will also show progress via pictures like below. My starting weight is around 158-159 pounds and I will monitor this + Strength as the log continues. Overall I am eager to see if I can add some size, see my body recomp, and also stay lean in the process while adding in calories and training hard.

How long till you have your post WO meal ? minuets or hr's

 

[The Solution]

How long till you have your post WO meal ? minuets or hr's

No specific time period. maybe 60-120 minutes

When are Carbs and Protein of lesser importance Post-workout?

Carbs:
- 1-2 hour training session after a pre-workout meal (Small or mixed 2-3 hours prior to session)
Protein:
- Training after a meal composed of 20-40g Protein at least 1-2 hours prior to a workout in a fed state.

Overall Cliffs:

- Nutrient Timing can be beneficial but window of opportunity is not as big as believed
- Provided protein rich meal 3-4 hours prior to training, there is no stress about immediate post-workout protein supplement or meal
- Consume .4-.5g/kg of LBM in a pre/post workout exercise window spaced 4-6 hours depending on meal size.
- Post workout carb intake does not meaningful increase aabolicsm unless doing a 2 a day workout session involving same muscle groups. Glycogen is not a limting factor if you can consume enough Carbohydrates daily in the 24 hour period.

Week 1 Update

Things to Note:

Strength ---> Starting to climb, feeling stronger, and its evident in my workouts as accessory and compound movements are slowly rising. I did manage to add some reps, time under tension, and get better mind muscle connection on exercises while utilizing more intensity techniques.

Body Comp --> Went from 158 to around 162 now, so 4 pounds in 1 week, mirror still holding strong. Will hold out pictures till end for before/after shots

Recovery/Mood/Alertness --> the #1 factor in this product. Between sets and day to day DOMS is much improved. Mood feels better, and found my sleep is better (could be from extra calories as well)

Things to note:
** Sweating has increased from workout to workout, slight increase in body temp (may be from bumping calories before start of the log) after a long term cut too.

Sleep could be better due to Ashwagandha?

 

[The Solution]

Great work brother. Just curious what were your increases in macros in the past week?

I am going to keep kcals the same if i can all log , but if my weight drops (during my reverse diet) i will slowly increase them. I want to focus on the product as much as possible and not change much.

I bumped carbs 50g daily and 10g fat daily to both workout and non workout days.

Sleep could be better due to Ashwagandha?

No idea.

Well i do not slave myself to X or Y food sources or choices. Granted i still eat a lot of veggies, chicken, eggs, fruits etc, but i strive for variety and the things i eat. that meal above is around 500 kcals. if you eat 2500 kcals or so that leaves plenty of room to still hit micronutrients, protein, fiber, fat from other food sources in the 24 hour period.
