For this Log I'm going to be running LJ100, Tr1umph, and Ep1c Transdermal
About me:
29 years old, 6 ft 2 210 lbs. I took a very extensive break from lifting (about 5 years) and have only been back at it for about 6 months or so. I primarily focus on olympic weightlifting but have shifted my focus for the time being. I've switched to a DUP style setup that's meant to improve at 3 assistance lifts that are going to translate into more explosive power for my o lifts as my overall lifting strength goes up. I've dropped my lifts down in weight to try and adjust to the increased volume and frequency of the DUP program. Although I still do them every session, the o lifts have become secondary and it might take a little time to work back up to heavier weights as I adjust and figure how much I can push myself at them while still improving on my main focus.
I chose to stack these three supplements for these reasons:
Increased hypertrophy- Part of my switch in program is to build some muscularity faster than I would with the more o lift specific program I was running, with the all day anabolism purported by OL it should really help.
Higher rate of recovery- hitting my whole body every session is pretty taxing even though I've reduced the number of weekly sessions to get more rest. but with the extra rest days I hope I will be able to push myself harder once I adjust to the change in programming.
Increase of energy- i had been on a stim heavy pwo kick for awhile and it's nice to have something that energizes you in a different way that's more sustainable for your body.
Increase of power- power is the name of the game for o lifts
Increase of strength- this is the number one thing holding me back from increasing power in my lifts, hopefully with some added help I will really be able to push for significant improvement.
So I tried everything today before my workout
Tr1umph peaches and cream sorbet, it mixed well and the flavor is just like you'd imagine, it really did have a creamy texture even though it was only mixed with water.
Ep1c transdermal has a pleasant smell and rubs in and dries pretty quickly, it has a pretty thin consistency though so you have to be care when applying it.
I'm not really going to focus on all the numbers, you can checkout my workout log if you're curious but I will include some stuff if I feel like it's highlight worthy. Mostly I think it's more productive to talk about the qualitative stuff and I might do some before and after pics.
Today was a good day, I felt very on point and definitely had enough energy to really plug through everything without too much rest. I pretty much hit all my lifts and when I was finished I still felt energized despite my muscles being a little tired and right now I'm in a pretty good mood. I believe the Tr1umph and Ep1c made a difference but I would imagine that the 3 of them will only increase in effectiveness as this goes on.
