Just Fuk Me Up FAM! Performax Labs Sponsored Log :D

[iThrow]

Alright so this is long overdue but thankfully the guys at Performax Labs understood my issue with not starting last week! Id like to give a HYOOOOOGE shoutout to the rest of the crew for selecting me to run a bottle of their Alphamax and OxyMax XT in a log! This is much needed considering I have been recomping (dirty) and been on a high intensity lifting program most of the summer for some training in college (I throw) So I had been having 2 a days up until the beginning of august basically and now I need to stop eating like im working out twice a day and drop some body fat!. I will be posting pics over the course of these 4-5 weeks im running and also weight updates. Im gonna type all about myself here in a second and then if I leave anything out just ask!

My name is Ryan:
22 years old
college student athlete
Height 6ft
Weight 235~ roughly on sunday morning I was 237 but debloated yesterday with lots of liquids
trained for about 8 years but 6 seriously
Former very obese individual
Looking to stay around 235 during this log but drop body fat!
Current maxes
Bench 325
Squat 435+ (hit 7 singles at 435 but may have been assisted on last few 3 weeks ago)
Deadlift? (don't really deadlift for the sport but most I have done was 585)
Clean/Power Clean 285
Hang Clean 285
Snatch 225
Close Grip bench 285+ (haven't had a true max on this but working sets go up to 265 for triples sometimes 4)
Front squat 355


Current split is a 3 day a week (squat almost every day) program with arms on the weekend! Ill actually be stating school in 2 weeks so my program will again change and im hoping to look decent for when I go back
What to expect from this log

Daily Updates: (many times daily probably as long as others reply but I will update daily regardless)
Macro Updates
Pictures
Lifting stuff
Music
Food pron
workouts

fun stuff and general conversation

If I left out anything please feel free to yell at me or ask me questions. Also I will be heading down to Wisconsin Dells (for those of you that are unaware its basically a town strictly dedicated to tourism and waterparks) at the end of the week so While I wont be working out I will certainly be updating the 3 day weekend I get!

Otherwise once I get to 1000 posts theres gonna be lots of additional links so if I start spamming my own log you know why


Not much else to say so thanks to all that joined and are following along!

 

[iThrow]

Day 1:


So my dosing protocol for this log will be 2 alphamax every morning and 2 right before bed
OxyMax will be 1 upon waking and 1 a little later in the day

I assessed my tolerance this morning by taking one at about 9am and I already am energized/feeling a good nootropic effect. That is awesome honestly, I love love love at burners that help to wake you up and give you that good feeling/nootropic feeling. If this continues for the duration of the log I will be buying another bottle and continue this log on my own money.

SO IM FEEING GREAT THIS MORNING

just had my 10:30 breakfast of 2 Oikos zeros and looking forward to my next meal at about 1. Lifting will be at about 5-530 today

Also I forgot to mention that I did not start the log last week because of migraine issues. I have been getting them ever since I was in jr high, and long story short they have plagued me ever since. I went a long time without one, having maybe 2-3 in college, probably 15-20 in high school and one every other day in jr high. However I had 3 last week and was basically bed ridden by them. What happens after I get the visual aura is the typical bad headache that wont go away UNLESS I somehow manage to sleep through it, or I vomit.. yes as bad as that sounds I will find myself chugging water or gross chit just to get myself to throw up. I used to take medication for it but it didn't help, also the worst part was my medication was mint flavored and now I associate that with getting sick so... no chewing mint gum or mint ice cream for me!

This past week was kind of a slow hell because I could not sleep these ones off. I recently had one at our conference meet as well which killed my performance, going into our meet I was ranked 3rd in 3 events, ended up taking 20th place or worse (our of 26)

So as you can tell these things kill me. I thought it was brought on by my possible caffeine intake along with no food however I feel like it was a combination of many things, so I will be monitoring how my body reacts to 2 caps of OxyMax! I feel like they should be fine but who knows! We will see![/b]

 

[cubsfan815]

Awesome, great start.

 

[iThrow]

Awesome, great start.

thanks my man!

UPDATE:

2nd dose of OxyMax elite will be taken pre workout (as my preworkout) at about 5 PM! with my other preworkout goodies including ara and soy lecithin along with some Gatorade and a scoop of E9

Aminos intra

 

[AntM1564]

I love how colorful this is!

Don't you just love the Oikos Greek Triple Zeros?!?! Make sure you're signed up on their site. They always have a coupon for 1$ off 3 and my grocery store always has them for a dollar a piece. You'll get 3 for 2 bucks, can't go wrong.

 

[cubsfan815]

Yeah, can't wait till they make more flavors.

If you guys have Meijers, they are usually .88 cents.

 

[iThrow]

and colorful it shall stay I think it makes it easier to follow along, you make one color for base notes, a 2nd color for a workout and a 3rd color for diet nutrition etc. I did not know that I will sign up now! otherwise I get them at walmart and they are a dollar a piece! so yeah buy 2 get one free basically

no meijers in Wisconsin but when I don't shop at Costco I get that kind of stuff at walmart!

 

[iThrow]

hey everybody i also forgot to mention i like to post the previous day the morning after so all my macros and workout from yesterday will be posted tomorrow morning, since i still have 45 minutes to make some eating gains tonight

[iThrow]

Hey all, lets dive right into yesterday and then Ill explain everything for today! Woo lets do this!

Supplements
1 OxyMax at 10am and 1 at 5pm
2 Alphamax at 9am and 2 before bed at 11pm

The workout

Hang Power Clean from above the knee (full hang clean you drop to catch, these are power hangs so not a full squat catch

45x6
135x4 and some other specialty work like power pulls etc. like 40 reps total messing around with 135 though
185x3
225x1
255x2
255x2
255x2
255x2
255x2
255x2
Pause Back Squat (4 seconds in the hole)
135x6
185x3
235x2
235x2
235x2
235x2
235x2

These are fairly light, we did more front squats in past cycles but now were doing back ones just for people with wrist issues, the reason we have such a long pause is because sometimes when catching a clean in a squat we will dump the weight forward or rush to stand up being unstable. the extra long pause gives us time to think and stabilize the core back and legs before driving up.

Pause Bench Press (was supposed to be banded but forgot the bands. crap)
135x4
185x8
175x8
165x8
160x8
155x8
155x8

Well I fuked up and forgot my elite fts bands which would have made this tougher which was the point. also my elite fts bands are super heavies so its like an additional 60lbs at the top which makes for a hella fun set....

Clean Grip Power Pulls
205x10
205x10
205x10

These are basically a clean bull/deadlift variation. youre doing a clean pull but as fast as possible and bringing the bar up as high as possible. so 10reps floor to neck basically. cardio. ghey

Barbell Stepups
135x10 (5 each leg)
135x10
135x10

Good Mornings (gloots for the sloots baby!!!)
185x5

WORKOUT DONE!

Macros for yesterday

Protein 249g
Fat 45g
Carb 293g

20g of fat were from my Fearn Soy Lecithin so really only about 25g fat yesterday... However I did wake up in the middle of the night and have some deep fried cheese curds so we are gonna go ahead and put those on todays macros

What im aiming for daily is 250g protein 300-350g carbs (depending on the day) and 60-80g fat including the soy lecitihin. do you guys factor in the SL if you track macros..?

Anyhow, today is a heavy double squat day so the carbs will be upped, the protein will be upped and fats as well. also probably will end up hitting qdoba post workout and that wont be tracked so ill include my macros and estimate the qdoba for tomorrow

So far feeling good though!

DAY 2. im hungry. already have a meal of 3 greek yogurts in and about to smash 350g sweet taters some milk and 6oz ground beef

Also since im trying to get to 1000 posts and will spam my own log if need be... I was wondering when that GDA is gonna be released..? if you have an intro price on it ill pick some up and add it to this log if that's cool

Going to be a little bit still. We had to change sources on one component to ensure our highest quality standards were met.

Look for HyperMax XT to drop next.

 

[Adizzle1]

Yep, sadly SlinMax will still be some time and we wont be hitting our scheduled release date, its honeslty looking like much longer then we want but we will not sacrifice quality to simply put out a product!

However HyperMax XT is just around the corner and we have another new supplement coming as well which should launch pretty quickly after HyperMax!

 

[iThrow]

GRRRRR you guys are killin me, ive been in the market for a good gda for a while now

You need to up your sweet tater game. That is nothing! You need more, but don't turn yourself orange.

You need to up your sweet tater game. That is nothing! You need more, but don't turn yourself orange.

well 350g 3 times daily adds up.. it comes out to like 5 sweet potatoes a day, about 225g carbs. so much vitamin A

Macros for yesterday

Protein 261g
Fat 88g
Carb 303g


Then naturally in the middle of the night I wake up and eat some cold left over tater tots with country gravy and ham on them that I found in the fridge... oh and a handful of almonds... so those are going to be on my macros for today gahhh I wake up in the middle of the night and eat way to often but hey im staying within my parameters for macros



Alright So how I am going to be utilizing OxyMax right now. I will take 1 cap every morning between 9-10am and my second cap later in the day (generally). For workout days that second cap will be taken pre workout AS my pre workout along with SL/ArA/E9 and so ill not be so stimmed up. Otherwise ill take my other cap usually around 3 pm on off days depending on how I feel. However today im taking two caps right away (about 5 minutes from now) on an empty stomach and ill eat about 15 minutes from now (1030) if I like how this works I may go ahead and run it that way on off days.

I don't feel like Ill need to bump up to a 3rd cap but if so and I can find another bottle for the right price, like I said before, Ill run it with my own cash moneys

Why not just almond milk lol.

Why not just almond milk lol.

Because it was delicious double protein chocolate milk. 8oz is 4.5g fat 13g protein 13g carbs

DAY 3

Hey all as I said no workout yesterday sooooo....
2 alphamax taken at 10am and 2 taken at 10 PM
2 OxyMax taken at 10am

One thing I did notice was I got a little bit of stomach ache after I started eating (20min post OxyMax) so im thinking the best option is to eat with 2 caps or space them out a bit, Dexaprine by Iforce used to give me the same issue

Macros for yesterday were plentiful
248g protein
300g carbs
111g fat (most from nuts or meat though)

Even though fat was high feeling good about the workout today! Already popped my two alphamax and just getting one meal in before I go ahead and lift earlier today!

Gonna still be taking that 2nd cap preworkout as thats been going amazing for me so far

 

[iThrow]

Hey all so I typed up something earlier but the mobile version didn't save it... Grrr so im re typing it all! So today concludes day 4 and I've had a little bit of a cheat today!
Macros are probably around 210 protein 245 carbs 135 fat (was given a free combo sampler platter at the restaurant for poor service) but I got a Greek grilled chicken wrap and some tater tots along side some boneless chicken wings I helped my gf finish up

I skipped the ice cream Buttt hit another or today so I gotta splurge anyhow I'll be posting tomorrow night but tomorrow may be a no holds barred cheat day... Im gonna do my best to stick to my guns though so wish me luck

Looking forward to possible food porn.

Now if I can just reach that thousands posts....

Hey all! So looks like I have to put that workout off until Sunday when I get home unfortunately I won't have a computer here in the dells water park this weekend so my bad

Dosing will stay the same throughout the weekend and I have been following protocol thus far:
2 alpha max upon waking and 2 before bed
1 cap Oxymax upon waking 1 around 3ish without a meal

So far weight has been hovering around 234 so I've already managed to shed down a little water weight!! Feeling great as ever though and sleep has felt more "whole" this week. im waking up less and just feeling more rested when waking up in the morning.

Macro content won't be counted. Im gonna try to be decent although we're basically packing all this junk food and whatnot, im not beach body ready but im imma try to stay more respectable on my diet. Pics will ensue though I promise hopefully gonna be at that 1000 posts here shortly

What's everyone else's plans for the weekend?!

 

[iThrow]

hey everyone! So youre gonna hate me but im going to be pushing back this weekend update until tomorrow morning I know I know, what a crappy guy right?!

I had an awesome weekend so now im back to getting home and then work tomorrow only problem is ill be driving for the next 3 hours and wont be home until 230 am.... THEN i gotta be up at 730 and so ill just do my update on company hours of this crappy job!

Seems fair! thanks for being understanding everyone!

Macros weren't counted at all this weekend so my bad on that however I did enjoy myself and so my diet was sloppy, pizza chips cookies ice cream taco salad etc. However I feel that Most of this bloat will go away by tomorrow after slamming water and powerade zero. Im obsessed with these flavored sparkling waters from walmart, I just am not a fan of the sparkling part... so I shake them up to avoid that weird feeling you sometimes get from too much carbonation. but when I get rid of this bloat I usually go through 3-4 bottles of it in a day. ascelfame and aspartame of peace

SO now we are back on track! one week in the books and nothing to interesting to report weight is still going to be hovering around 235 once this bloat goes away.

things I have notived from Alphamax
-No joint issues
-libido up
-endurance a little higher
-peeing more
-deeper sleep

Things I have noticed from OxyMax
-Nootrpic feeling earlier in the week
-Increased energy
-appetite isn't as heavy
-positive sense/well being
-helping me not feel like a pile of chit after waking up

So far so good, heading into week two I have higher expectations when my diet gets cleaned up

Awesome log so far man, loving the detail!!

Agreed with awesome detail.

We did the Wilderness condos last time we were up there. I like being closer to everything, instead of out at the lake. I won't do those big slides lol. F that.

thanks man I liked being on the lake just because of the setup, and taking the pontoon across is always nice but, I did enjoy the condos as well, ours was kind of junky but its full of room which makes it nice, there were 11 of us so it was pretty packed.

 

[Adizzle1]

Howd you like 2 caps of OxyMax at once?

 

[iThrow]

Howd you like 2 caps of OxyMax at once?

WELL, to be completely honest, without food I felt that kind of heart race/stomach ache feeling. then I had a little something to eat and it subsided maybe 10 minutes later so if I have a little something with 2 caps then its perfectly fine, I felt the energy lasted longer too which doesn't really make sense. it should be more intense rather than longer right?

Anyhow as I stated earlier ill be doing two caps on off days and if I can find some more decently price ill go to 3 caps a day and run it like that on my own time.

I am really digging the 1 cap for my pre workout though, it gives me a TON of focus.

Managed to hit pretty close to my macro goals. even got to eat a couple of jalapeno poppers for dinner to get the rest of the fat in

So last night, something in my braking system went out while driving. A bunch of people tried crossing a busy main street in the middle of my town (not on a crosswalk) and I had to slam on my breaks, well I slammed on them and there was tension for about a second before my pedal went to the floor and my brakes failed. luckily I swerved into the other lane to avoid them but now I need to figure out if I have a bad brake line or a bad pad, or if its the master cylinder. Probably one of the scariest moments ive ever had while driving! anybody in here good with cars that could help me out

 

[cubsfan815]

You don't have a crazy ex do you lol?

Is there still fluid in the reservoir?

[iThrow]

You don't have a crazy ex do you lol?

Is there still fluid in the reservoir?

I do but..... Idk gonna check that out after work today I don't think its my brake pads themselves, I do think its the brake line or a lack of fluid though, I didn't see any puddles anywhere though so Im gonna fill it up and basically let it leak and hope I can find where its at. good timing since I leave for school on Saturday.

LOL'd. Exactly what I was thinking.

Stop guise im scared now

 

[cubsfan815]

Break pads wouldn't cause that issue. Sounds like a stuck caliper.

 

[Jebrook]

Break pads wouldn't cause that issue. Sounds like a stuck caliper.

iThrow, you did do some legs that day so maybe you just couldn't push the pedal hard enough. Lololol

 

[cubsfan815]

Lol, good catch.

 

[iThrow]

I think I was too pumped because I damn near pushed the brake pedal through the floor and @ cubsfan from what some people at our service center (marina) said they think its a leak in the line, and im completely out of fluid and that's whats causing the lack of pressure. gonna stop by an autozone and fill it up to see if there is any difference and see if I cant get some to leak out somewhere.

 

[cubsfan815]

If it's the line, she cut it. Or he, not sure what you're into.

 

[iThrow]

im more of a cat guy than a dong guy...

Yep found the leak! Brake fluid spraying everywhere out of the front passenger side wheel. little bigger than a pinhole!

Not sure


Went out to eat at a restaurant for dinner last night real close to home because I had no groceries and couldn't really drive anywhere!



So my body needs rest. between swimming two days straight, chewing up my feet on those pools. having my legs super sore and my lats sore from swimming as well from pushing off I need a break! 2 days rest ahead

 

[AntM1564]

Rest up man, hopefully AlphaMax will help you recover!

Enjoy the rest. I have a nice 8 day break coming up myself.

How long til your car is fixed.

Rest up man, hopefully AlphaMax will help you recover!

agreed!
One side note I forgot to mention is OxyMax preworkout is making me sweat like a pig in the gym. I actually had to change shirts mid workout yesterday because it was disgustingly drenched it looked like I just got out of a pool. it was actually dripping....

Enjoy the rest. I have a nice 8 day break coming up myself.

hopefully some guys in the shop will be taking care of it today. 8 day break nice! vacationing right?
