Sublimejeh's USPlabs Symmetry log!

[sublimejeh]

Hey guys... This will be a log on USPlabs Symmetry
I just received my Symmetry from the first wave that USPlabs has given out.

I won't be introducing any new supplements(even though I just received powerFULL and am PSYCHED to try it!), so that Symmetry can be better judged.

I will be taking 2 pills with breakfast and 4 before my workout(unless told otherwise).

I will also be using:
5 Nxcare Anavol Preworkout
2.5 g HP CEE post workout
2 Cissus Rx before breakfast, 2 Preworkout, 2 post workout
1 Multi morning, 1 multi before dinner
1 glucosamine before breakfast, 1 postworkout

On off days I will be taking 2X2 cissus, 2X2.5g HP CEE, 6 symmetry throughout the day

Here are my current measurements:
Im currently 18, 6'1, 207 lbs, 15% bf
(cold) RELAXED
arms- 15"
calfs- 16"
waist- 35"
legs- 24"
neck- 16.5"
chest- 44"

Max bench: 255
Max squat: 280

I will post pictures along the way... first ones I will take tonight.

My daily calorie intake is about 3500 Cals and protein intake a little above 200 g. I may raise these a bit during this log

.... In this log I will mainly be posting results Im seeing from Symmetry as well as Cissus Rx. I have had some elbow pain since this summer and have been taking Cissus Rx for 20 days now. It has REALLY helped so far but I still have a little ways to go.

Ill be posting daily.
:woohoo:

 

[sublimejeh]

My workout schedule will be:

Day 1-Shoulders
Day 2-Arms
Day 3-Legs
Day 4-Chest
Day 5-Back


+abs every other day

I will be lifting 5-6 days a week

Diet- > 3500 cals, ~200g protein, ~350 carbs
PB sandwichs made up 3 of my snack meals today ! i was really liking the PB today haha

COMMENTS-

Well, today was obviously my first day using Symmetry. I didn't really notice much, nor was I expecting to. I did however jump up 5 lbs in my incline db press. I had never done 85's before and I got almost the same reps as on the 80's!

Good gym day. Im sure by the end of the week this stuff will start kickin in.

SIDE NOTE- Im so tempted to add powerFULL to this cycle because I just got it in the mail and am really excited! But I havent used powerFULL yet, so I dont think it would do justice to the log to start that as well. I want to know how well Symmetry works ALONE, so that I know where it stands in with my other supps.

-Tomorrows my gf's bday so I may not be able to hit the gym. Hopefully I can go at like 8pm or something if I don't have too much work!

COMMENTS:
Workout was pretty good today. I played BBall for like a half hour before though so I was kinda pooped already for my workout. Never the less I pulled through!

I have been SOOO hungry over the past few days, dono if thats from the symmetry or not, but we'll give it time and see. Getting through my workouts isn't to difficult, maybe a little easier than usual, but too early to judge.

I had a CRAZY burning feeling in my shoulders during the superset... more than usual, i liked it though,it made me feel like my shoulders wud be like an inch bigger tomorrow! haha (i wish!).

Nothing else noticed besides the formentioned appetite and ease of workout.

Comments are welcome!

Re: Wednesday 3/1/06

great log so far!!! keep it up-i have stacked powerfull, creatine, and symmetry together for the last month, and i have loved it!! ps looking forward to seeing the video!

good its guna be awesome AND in high def!!!


QUESTION- is there an alternate dosage I can do for symmetry??

Also, What kind effects am I sposed to be looking for in this product?

 

[sublimejeh]

Movie filming day!

Well today I shot most of the movie... except for the testimonial part...

I started editing it and came up with some killer ideas- speed change happens to be one of the most common elements in the movie. Im not sure what I should say in the testimonial though- would it be corney to be like USPlabs is the best supp. company ever!... cuz they are, but i don't wanna make it sound fake haha

So I changed up my supplements a little for the day so I could look nice and pumped for the video. My dosing was as follows-

morning: 2 cissus Rx, 2 Symmetry

30 mins pre workout: 4 Symmetry, 2 cissus Rx, 2 vials NitroVol(jst got a few samples in the mail), 5 anavol, 1 cee pro, 3 WB

During: 4 scoops GlycerGrow

Post Workout: 2 Cissus Rx, 2 cee pro, 1 scoop whey

My workout was just high reps low weight of all upperbody stuff to get PUMPED, then I did a few heavy sets for the video.

For the movie my sets included:

DB bench- 100X6
BB bench- 225X5
EZ bar curls- 115X6
tricep pushdowns-100X12
jumping medicine ball pushups- 10
some abs

Before I filmed, I did those workouts but lower weight and higher reps.
My arms are kinda sore from doing them two days in a row but Ill probably take tomorrow off to rest and hit the gym Sunday, but we'll see how things go.

Comments: Once again I noticed it was much harder to wake up in the morning today. I was in a deep sleep until my alarm went off... Usually Im partially awake when it goes off so it doesn't take me by surprise as much.

Weight: Once again I forgot to weigh myself before breakfast... I weighed myself before dinner today and was 209 lbs, So Im probably a few pounds less in the morning

Diet: Consisted of low fat raviolis, egg salad with non fat mayo, lots of milk, lazagna, 2 protein shakes, eggs, oatmeal, cottage cheese, PB. Talk about bulking foods haha

Also, What kind effects am I sposed to be looking for in this product?

i would do 3 3x a day OR stack it w/ powerfull 3 of each 3x a day- results are good on its own starting w/ 6 caps a day- but it does stack best w/ powerfull and creatine, and the higher the dose, the better it works

BUT i also know you want to try the product by itself, it will work well by itself

you are looking mostly for faster recovery, strength gains, muscle hardness in this product

Day 4

Was real tired today. Went to bed at 2 am and woke up at 7 to help my grandma put in her counter top.

Comments:
I was tired today so my workout wasn't as strong as usual.. I was pumped gettin the CytoGainer so cheap though, and its SOOOOO good. I love trying a new protein that your not expecting huge things from but end up being awesome. Tomorrow's chest so I'm kinda psyched for that. I may try a new Symmetry dosage of 3 pills pre breakfast and 5 pre workout instead of the 2,4. My post workout soreness has defini

Dips:
3 sets of 12

Diet:
Very clean today. More red meat than usual though. Had roast beef and chicken for lunch and steak for dinner. Breakfast was the normal eggs and oatmeal. I sipped on some cytosport throughout the morning guring classes too. And I think Ill have some cottage cheese and a pb sandwich before bed.

Weight: 2 hours after workout: 211 NEW PR. Even though it wasn't in the morning and I had eaten during the day, I didn't drink any more than usual or anything and Im usually 207-209 during the day! woot!

Comments:
Had an awesome workout today! I did take a few thermo rush caps before my workout along with the symmetry and cissus rx.

During my whole workout I had a great feeling of "well being". Thats the only word I can find to describe it. If this feeling is in fact from the Symmetry I will sure be buying this in bulk!!! Its a very hard feeling to described. I had improved recovery between sets and felt real good during my workout. I don' tthink it was because of the thermo rush because I didn't have any jittery caffeine rush or anything. It was awesome though, whatever it was.

I HOPE it was the Symmetry so at least I know what to buy to make me feel like that!!! haha

I was also very hungry all day so I just keep eating every time I walk through the kitchen! all good food though!

EDIT: I forgot to mention I had NO elbow pain whatsoever during my workout today, not even during my warmup set... I LOVE cissus Rx!!!!

Random thought:
[size=-2]Im starting to think about my cutting stack for the summer. Im pretty sure that cAMP, Sesamin, bcaa's will be part of my stack but I feel like Im missing something. Id like to choose one of the following to add to the stack- Red Acid, Basic Cuts, Melting Point, Venom, AMP, Stizm, Glucophase, or any others....[/size]

SesaThin and C-AMP are great together. Other than that I would probably add lean Extreme . AMP/HEAT stack would be good to curb hunger.

:woohoo:

Day 5

Today was Awesome!-- best day by far using Symmetry. I switched the dosing to 8 caps per day, 2 morning, 6 preworkout and the effects were very well noticed. Just compare today's back day to my last back day and you may see what Im talking about!

Weight: 209.5 (weighed myself later in the day... but about the same time as I weighed myself on my last post)

Diet: Comprised of the usual eggs, oats, turkey sandwich, PB, cottage cheese, CytoGainer, and some chicken piccata with couscous for dinner yumm..

Workout: Back

16X8

Comments:
I can't say enough about how awesome today's workout was, but I'll control myself-

My strength increase was awesome, my endurance was way up and my recovery was way up. I noticed endurance the most because I always have a hard time doing more than 6-8 reps on an excercise. I usually prefer doing about 6 reps. But I blew through the 100lb DB's like they were nothing! Check back to last time I did DB rows and I'm sure I increased. I felt like I could have done another 2 reps on those sets but didn't want to overdo it.

I'll be sticking with the 8 caps per day, 2 morning, 6 preworkout- unless theres a better dosage idea that USPlabs suggests. But I am very happy with the 2,6.

Hoping tomorrow will be just as good!!!!

Wednesday 3/8/06

Day 1
Today was a really good workout, but not such a good day overall. I've been wanting to get a good nights sleep for days now, but I have had so much work to do I haven't been getting enough sleep. So I decided last minute last night at midnight that I would try out one of the Venom Lean Dream samples I got in the mail to help me sleep. The problem is I still had to wake up early. So all day I've been rediculously tired haha. I should probably save the sleep aides for a night that I can devote to sleeping !

Diet:
Was real rushed this morning so I skipped the eggs. Had 2 cups of oatmeal, apple, milk, 3 cups spaghetti, 6 meat balls, more milk, CytoGainer, ON protein, 2 steak burgers, cottage cheese and PB

Workout: Shoulders

BB shoulder press
135X10
135X12

Upright rows
70X12
90X10
100X10

Comments:
Haven't looked back at last shoulder day but I'm pretty sure this one was better... at least it felt a LOT better. Im kinda pissed I was tired because it could have had even more potential. I did high volume training today because I feel my shoulder's are kind of lagging and wanted to switch it up.

I noticed many of the same effects as yesterday but not as strongly- Increased- strength, overall feeling, recovery and endurance... Today, I also noticed increased vasularity in my arms- Cool

Taking tomorrow off to go to my gf's semi-finals in tournement- Wish her luck! hah

[Reggin]

What are you doing taking Symmetry (and Powerfull) at 18?

 

[sublimejeh]

what do you mean... these are not dangerous supplements for an teenager

 

[Reggin]

Anything that even remotely messes with hormone levels I would not touch as a teenager. Most tribulus products recommend a minimum age of either 21 or 25 years.

Besides, trying to increase testosterone at 18 is kind of pointless and redundant. Considering they're pretty much at the highest levels during your life right now, it seems kind of odd to take a supplement that increases T production.

Besides, trying to increase testosterone at 18 is kind of pointless and redundant. Considering they're pretty much at the highest levels during your life right now, it seems kind of odd to take a supplement that increases T production.

Ok, first, you need to take a closer look at the product. there are two ingridients, one is adaptogen based and the other in made up of two hydroxl ketones.

Adaptogens can be powerful antioxidants, stress relievers, and If you are mentally exhausted or physically fatigued the adaptogens will help you feel more energetic, vitalized, and full of zest for life. They have simply found that this can also possibly affect testosterone.

From my understanding of testosterone and adaptogens, it seems that id one is working by the other, it will not simply raise test levels, if they are already at a max, but make them more readily available to your muscle. If my testosterone levels are already as HIGH as they can be and I'm taking a natural test booster anyways, the test booster just won't do anything for me, but won't hurt me. I'm not putting Test In my body.

but thats just my view on it... maybe USPlabs can better describe the ingridients and their role

 

[sublimejeh]

so ya... today was my off day I'll be doing arms tomorrow.

Weight: 210.5 as of this afternoon, on a relatively empty stomach

Took 2 cissus/2 symmetry 15 mins before breakfast; 2 cissus/2 symmetry at 2 pm, and taking 2 more symmetry around 8pm

Excited for tomorrow

Comments:
AWESOME day once again. Probably the best and most productive arm day in a month. Went up in all my excercises.
Some noticed effects: Energy, Strength increase, ENDURANCE, pump.

Endurance has been the most beneficial effect of this supplement for me. I have never been able to comfortably do higher reps and enjoy it. I actually feel good while doing my set rather than struggling. This is usely becaquse I can focus a lot more on my form than just on how many reps I'm pushing out.

Overall, VERY impressed so far.

Sidenote: I have gained 3.5 pounds since the beginning of this cycle with no diet change.. not bad :clap2:

 

[400runner]

are the pumps really bad? would this be good for a 400-800 runner? your saying all these good things abour endurence.

 

[sublimejeh]

Well I don't consider a PUMP a bad thing at all, its something I like- the feeling of your muscle swelling up so your skin is tight when your working out, thats what I mean by pump

It woudn't hurt to try, but Im just using this with anaerobic excercises, Im not doing cardio, so I dono. I'd give it a shot though

 

[bpmartyr]

I'll chime in real quick since I run for cardio. No painfull pumps or anything that impedes my running so far at 9 symmetry and 9 powerfull ed.

 

[sublimejeh]

whats ur split like of the powerFULL and Symmetry?

 

[bpmartyr]

Split? You mean dosing protocol? 2 of each AM, 5 before workout and 2 before bed. Or if I workout in the AM: 4 in the AM, 3 before evening MA class and 2 before bed.

 

[sublimejeh]

a question I had earlier and havent gotten a response to is why take symmetry bfore bed? Im taking 2 morning, 6 preworkout... If theres a good reason for a dose before bed though, I definitly would not be against it

 

[bpmartyr]

I would think having more actives available while sleeping would help with recovery and sleep quality. Similar to the importance of taking in protein first thing in the morning, post workout and before bed.

 

[sublimejeh]

hmm. sounds intriguing, I'll give it a shot!

I really wanna do a second Symmetry log incorporating other USPlab products too after this one!

 

[CHAPS]

I also don't think it's a problem to use natural test boosters as a teenager, they will only boost your test levels to high normal which can be quite beneficial. I know everyone says as a teen your test levels are highest but that still doesn't mean that your test levels are at high normal, they could just be high for u.

 

[sublimejeh]

Ya, I mean if this product was SOLELY a test booster I probably wouldnt be as excited to use it. I think of this as much more than a test booster!

 

[400runner]

400 and 800 are anaerobic races.... but the training is both: days doing aerobic and days in anaerobic. and i like a pump, but not to the point where i cant move my legs.

 

[sublimejeh]

ya... I was referring to your training overall being aerobic. Ya it definitly doesn't give you a painful pump at all

Ok so I really don't like leg days... I feel like I don't "know" my legs as well as other body parts. I have troubl guesstimating or knowign what weight and for how many reps I can do on them. I also feel very uncomfortable doing them, but Im sure my toelrance will grow with time. Actually felt a little better , for a leg day.. Nice increase on leg press, noticed more endurance on my first few sets of squats- high reps. Once I got to my last set though I was pretty pooped. Overall decent day I guess, better than the average leg day.

I'm with ya bro. Only do legs because I know I "should" and dread the way I feel the next 4 hours afterwards.

Today was another awesome gym day. I definitly have gone up in my bench since the beginning of this log. I got 255X1 at the beginning and now Im almost at 275! I got the 265 up solid by myself but stuck a little on the 275. Pretty nice improvement. Noticing same things- strength and endurance mostly though. Elbow hurt a little during todays workout. Tomorrow is back... Cya!

Great back day!!!!

Diet: Definitly didn't eat enough food today, so I was surprised that my workout was as good as it was!
Ive come up with a dosing protocol including preworkout meals that has worked best for me:

Morning 20 mins before breakfast: 2 cissus Rx, 2 Symmetry
1 1/2 hours pre workout: small meal(i.e. 2 or 3 eggs and 3/4 cup oatmeal)
20-30 mins Preworkout: 5 anavol, 2 cissus Rx, 6 Symmetry
1 hr before bed: 2 Cissus Rx, 2 Symmetry

Workout: Back

Deadlifts
135X15 Warmup
225X12

100X12
100X10
105X10
110X8

Close Grip pull downs
12X12
14X10
14X10

Comments:
Very noticeable strength and endurance gains on my deadlift... I felt like I could have done 12 easily on 275 if it weren't for my hand feeling like they were going to rip off! I think I'll bring my straps next time haha. Today I had a healthy feeling lower back pump and increased strength and endurance and recovery between sets. Im noticing the recovery to be more between sets than between workout days, I'm still just as sore everyday, but in between sets I feel like my muscle heals quicker.

I think that on the dumbell rows im turning my shoulder back too much, but maybe thats how its supposed to be done... Im not turning it excessively, its just that Im turning my back a little and not doing it all with my arm... Well, I'll ask a BB at my gym next time or somethin.

All is goin well... less than weeks worth left in the bottle !

Hopefully my traps aren't too sore to do shoulders tomorrow!

Another great day! I'm pretty sure I went up a decent amount of weight on the DB presses. Also, today I didn't have any help at all on any military press... didn't need help gettin them up or anything, everythign flowed well, which makes it even better! My strength is definitly increasing in all of my excersises which is awesome. I have a 4 day weekend starting tomorrow and I'm pretty psyched.

Comments:
Todays workout was relatively low volume. Since I was doing higher reps and focusing on form, my muscles felt like they were going to explode out of my skin! They were very hard and tight to the skin throughout my entire workout, and a few hours thereafter. However, my forarms were still sore from gripping hard yesterday so I had to lower the volume as to not strain the forearms.
Solid workout, not much strength gain today, but thats not what I was aiming for in the workout anyways. Overall good workout though
