Smile Neovar log (sponsored)

*I have no ties to Applied Nutriceuticals, they just provided me a month of neovar in return for a log. I hope to give a good and honest review of this product.



My 1 month goals:
overhead squat, 10 rep: 85 (+20 pounds)
1RM bench: 250 (+25 pounds)
Body fat: drop 1%

overall goal: recomp and get strong.


Current stats:
(what I will use to gauge effectiveness)

DL max: --------315
BF:------------- 14.5
weight: ---------180lbs
right arm:--------14.75"
waist (at navel): -35.5"
Bench 1RM-------225
mil press 2RM----135
Rack pull 3RM --- 275


Log details:

I am hoping to get some sort of comparison between neovar and kreacepsXS. I ran a 2 month log that I just completed using RPM, kreaceps, and incarnate. I will keep everything besides the creatines as similar as possible. Swell is going to be my source for BA instead of incarnate, and I am using bulk super cissus.

so my log has changed in this fashion:
rpm/kreaceps/incarnate/cordygen5--->
rpm/neovar/swell/cordeygen5


Standard supplement dosing:
AM:
swell first thing
1 cordygen5
protein shake (w/ 1cup oats, miracle greens, blueberries, milk, cinnamon)
4 neovar
cissus


lunch:
fish oil
sesamin
giant resveratrol

pre-workout:
3-4 RPM
2 cordygen5
swell

post workout:
4 neovar
protein shake with 1 cup oats and a small amount of fruit and milk

dinner:
giant resveratrol
fish oil
sesamin
adam MV


sleep time:
poseidon
cissus


My workout


Monday:
1) Military press variation (pick one and stick with it a while, usually work up to something heavy for a single, but can do rep work if you're feeling beat up, do not "max" out on this day, try to always leave 10lbs in the tank)
a) Standing military press
b) Seated military press
c) Seated military press off pins in the squat rack (singles only)
2) DB flat bench for reps (2-3 sets, keep it very easy, just getting in volume)
3) Lat exercise, your choice
4) Lat exercise, your choice
5) Something for upper back -rear delts in particular (bent over raises, reverse pec dec, etc)

Tuesday:
1) Main movement (pick one, and work up to heavy single, double or triple)
a) Squat (wide, narrow, low, high)
b) Deadlift (sumo, conventional, rack pulls)
c) Goodmorning
2) Accessory work, rep range 3-20
a) squat
b) leg press
c) lunges/etc.
3) Low back
a) Pull throughs
b) hyperextensions
4) Abs (I prefer rope pull down abs on this day to unload the back)

Wednesday: Off

Thursday:
1) Bench, max effort, pick 1, work up to heavy single double or triple:
a) 3 second pause bench (competition grip or pinky on the ring, these you ALWAYS just do singles with)
b) Heavy triples
c) Close grip (pinky on rings)
d) Competition grip (index finger on the ring)
e) Any of the above with mini bands attached***
2) Board work if possible (1-2 board, rep range from 1-5 reps), if not, incline or decline for reps (3-20)
3) If doing board work, then do incline or decline, if not doing board work, pushdowns or skull crushers for higher reps.

Friday:
1) Shrugs
2) Biceps
3) Grip/forearms
4) Upper back
5) Abs

Friday is fun, do what you want. NEVER fail on a secondary exercise; always leave just a little in the tank. If you fail on the first exercise, make sure it's for no other reason than the weight was just too heavy that particular day! If you are a crack head and worry that you're not getting enough volume, you can either up the reps on the secondary exercises, *OR* after you max out on exercise #1, drop back down to about 90% and do a few reps there, again, DO NOT HIT FAILURE.




Personal background:
cliff notes: I was once a dedicated BB'er and athlete, and have been sedentary for about 4 years. I started getting off my ass again about 5 months ago.

So I'm no stranger to the gym, but my body had forgotten a lot of what it used to know. Also I have changed my routine and eating habits a lot from what I used to do back then. Before it was all isolation movements and body builder splits, now it is a lot of compounds and low reps, and now I'm not scared to eat to support the muscle growth.


expectations:
Not very high, I am skeptical of CEE, but excited to give it a try for the first time with an open mind.

DAY 1, saturday


Took my standard dosing. Woke up a little rough from the night before, and had to work 9-5 in my second job (I watch a store for some friends when they need it on saturdays). Went to the gym afterwards for a bench day. Nothing to note about the workout, but afterwards I noticed a fairly intense feeling of being heavily stimd after taking my post workout neovar. Guessing this was just the RPM kicking in different from before


workout:

Flat BB bench
last BB day ---- today
8 x 135 --- 8 x 135
5x185 ---
3x195 --- 5x 195
3x200 ---
3 x205 --- 3 x 205
2 x 210 --- 3 x 210
2 x 215 --- 3x 215
----------- 2x 220

(saw some decent gains on flat bench)

decline bench
(previous wo)--today
10 x 135 ----- 12x 135
8 x 155 ------ 8 x 155
7 x 175 ------- 8 x145

skull crushers
50 on small (concentration) bar x 9 x 8 x 7

Day 2 (sunday)


non workout day, played in the yard.


I actually noticed the slight shortness of breath again after taking the neovar at night. Going to continue to take note of this, and hope it goes away (it isn't bad enough at this point to worry me).


No other updates.


Thanks for the kind words impreziv and cellardude !

Thanks!



I took 2 RPM this morning as I do sometimes when I'm having a really bad morning, along with neovar, and my morning routine. Holy crap was I hyped up. I don't know whats causing it, but its definitely a stronger stimd feeling than before neovar was added.



Well I said I would post photos, so here they are. I took them this afternoon. I know I'm still soft, and I have lots of work ahead of me, but if you saw the photos from 2-3 months ago you would be very impressed.













If someone wants to take a stab at what my "real" bf% is, that would be nice.

9/17 DAY 3

Seated MIL PRESS

9/04------today
95 x 6---- 95x8
115 x 3---
125 x 3----125x3
130 x 3----130x3
135 x 2---- 135x3
140 x 1---- 140x2


Seated row (wide triangle bar ...trapezoid bar? )

Today
130x9
140x8
150x7


weighted pull ups, wide bent grip

9/4-------today
+10 x 5--- +20 x 4
+10 x 5--- +20 x 3
+10 x 4--- +20 x 3


bent delt raises

9/4------- today
25s x 6 --- 20s x 8
25s x 6 --- 25s x 6
25s x 5 --- 25s x 5

some ab work


I had to leave to pick up some groceries, otherwise I was ready for some cardio....maybe tomorrow.



Impressions:

saw some slight improvement, reps went up in mil press, and form was better on bent delt raises (I felt a lot stronger on these, even though you can't see it in the weight). Endurance was excellent.


updated stats:

weight: 179.5lbs
right arm: 14 13/16
waist: 35.5"

hard to tell for sure. What are you taking in carbwise, both with the early neovar + post workout dose?

in the morning, I'm taking it with a shake:

ON whey
1 cup oats
some blueberries
miracle greens
milk

= 50-70 carbs


post workout, usually I have another shake, and then dinner a half hour later. Dinner tonight was some rice and chickpea curry.


adding the oats to the shake is a new thing for me. I'm hesitant to be adding extra carbs to my diet, but I want to give neovar a fair chance.

You may want to try an 8oz glass of 100% fruit juice (I like grapefruit) + a bannana post workout instead of oats. After workout a more simple carb push works nicer. I'd even suggest gatorade for part of it, or white bread/rice.

Chickpea curry eh? That sounds nice, a red curry or yellow? My real favorite is lamb shank red curry.

Thanks, tomorrow night I'll use fruit juice instead and see how it works. I have a few jars of apple juice on hand.


Red curry, it was pretty good.

What are your primary goals? Gaining muscle? Loosing fat? If your looking for muscle with little concern about fat loss, I wouldn't change a thing. If it's fat loss you seek (while retaining muscle of course), you will need to stay away from simple sugars...even post workout.

Post your primary goals and typical diet and I'll be able to give better recommendations.

The log looks great Johnyq! Excellent detail!
