you mind sharing what is in the Evolution Stack for people who dont know?

ALRI Evolution Stack is:

ALRI Jungle Warfare, Restore and their latest product, Bad Ass Mass (BAM).

Check other logs here that have a description of each product.

:twisted:

 

[Dros120]

I am looking forward to your results. I am running the same log but with much higher carbs (350g per day). Is 200g near maintenace level for you or is this enough for you to make gains?

 

[jmh80]

Good luck bro.
I just got my BAM yesterday.

Nice pics. Pretty big.

Hey all, I'm starting tomorrow after a much needed week off. Ineeded it mentally and physically after competing 3 times this fall and nto taking a week off afterward.

BTW, 200 grams carbs is a TON for me. I can make very very nice gains by eating as low as 150 carbs per day. In fact, the 6 weeks after I competed I ate around 100-170 carbs per day (higher on training days) and then would have 2-3 cheat meal son the weekend and was able to stay pretty lean and make some nice gains. I'm going to slowly incorporate more carbs as I go, bbut I am EXTREMELY carb sensitive and need to watch. I typically do well with low carbs and very HIGH EFA's.

First day on the evolution stack (Bad Ass Mass, Jungle Warfare, & Restore) and first day back in the gym after a week off. Felt amazing.

Supplementation was pretty much the same. Diet was off because we had a little party. I had my normal pre and post workout meals and my normal breakfast and meal 2. Meal 5 was also a normal meal, but Meal 6 was a sub and meal 7 was chili w/ extra lean beef and some snack foods. Also had a wee bit of alcohol....hey it's the season.

It's Tuesdya now and this is my fourth day on the Evolution stack. I've had 2 workout days and today will be my 3rd. OBviously nothing major has happened, but I am up a few pounds (actually a LOT). Some has to be from the eating I did the last few days. However, I di drealize that Sunday (day 2 of Evolution) I had extreme pumps. I had the same on Saturday,. Don't know if that was from any of the products or just because I had a week off and my body is sucking everything into the muscle.

*Today is the 7th day I've been on the Evolution stack. Haven't noticed any large increase in strength. I am fuller t hough that's for sure. The pumps for the 4 days of lifting have been insane too. I must be doing more work and tearing the muscles down more than usual because the soreness from each day is lasting about a day to day and a half longer than usual. I'm also noticing headaches from time to time throughout the day, but that could be from the unseasonably warm weather and the 15-30 degree weather changes day to day here.

Kyle,

FnF, a little bit. To be honest, my strength has been down, but I usually never notice anything until after about 5-7 days. Today is the 7th day and tomorrow is leg power day so we'll see. I am much much fuller though, but I don't know if that's from the New Years Eve binge still or from the Evolution stack. I have noticed some oily skin, but the school has been warmer than normal and I'm a big sweater so...

 

[maddenizor]

I am on day 7 of Jungle warfare, and I am already noticing some body comp. changes. Nothing drastic yet of course, but I and my GF can see a significant change occuring

You are on lower carbs too, maybe talk to Eric to get the best benefits from this stack.

Well, diet has been pretty status quo, almost identical to the other days listed other than last night I had some chicken wings for meal 6 and a shake for meal 7 and the fact that today I forgot my protein shake and rice cakes post workout as I lifted then did a 2.5 hour pitching clinic. Yeah I was not happy, instead I took 5 extra grams of both glut and bcaa as well as an extra serving of RegenerationX.

I am DEFINITELY noticing the EVOLUTION stack now! WOW! My strength felt out of this world on legs. First time I squatted heavy in more than 2 months and it felt LIGHT!
