Haiz Becomes an Intraholic with AEN.

Haiz Gets Big on Intrabolic

Hello Folks. This marks the day before the start of my Intrabolic + IntraXcell Log. I have yet to receive my tub from AEN, but I went ahead and ordered a tub right when it became available, so I will start with that. First off, I would like to AEN for the opportunity to test their new product. Looking at the ingredients, I have HIGH hopes. The formulation is excellent and I can't wait to get started.

Training

I am currently working with Buffhunk29 here on AM.com and he is the MAN in terms of training. Here is what he has to say:

"The workout that Haiz is doing is part of my custom program, i have developed a program that will continue the Neural adaptations to exercise, through progressing the body far past what its used to doing. Then the Key is the Metabolic Days that you see Mace and Haiz talking about! You dont really understand how bad these days are until you do one! You don’t appreciate the pure intensity it takes to get through one of these workout! These particular days we focus on Energy Systems training/usage! We are always at a high output never giving the body a chance to dip into a low energy system!"

No matter if it is a metabolic or "normal" training day (Normal still has Same body part supersets, I.E. THREE exercises for the same bodypart in a row w/o rest sometimes), Endurance is KEY.


Nutrition

Pretty solid nutrition. Very balanced. Ton of good whole foods. Period. It ends up being about a 40% carbs, 30-35% protein, 25-30% fat diet.

DAY 1 - Diet

It is early, but I've gotten two awesome meals in. I love grapefruits...I've put down two at this point.

Today's Supplementation

AEN Intrabolic - 1 Serving
Fish Oil
Vitamin Pack

Workout

Really great workout today. Upper Body metabolic day that hit everything but back (as I trained it two days ago). I ran through the "circuit" four times varying the rep ranges of each separate exercise each time. I did 20 sets in 15 minutes, so that should give you an idea about the pace. Of this thing. Very fast, intense, and HEAVY.

Strength
[*****--]

Strength up from the last time I did a similar metabolic day. Weights were up on everything.

Stamina / Endurance
[*****--]

Nearly too good in this department. I upped the weight on all of the exercises so that they were as heavy as possible, but fatigue was way down. Very nice.

Energy / Focus
[***---]

Nothing to note here. I had a great workout, but no added energy/focus.

Pumps / Vascularity
[****--]

These were pretty good today actually. My forearms got freaky during the workout. Love those veins.

Recovery
[--]

Nothing to note here for now.

Other Observations / Comments

Okay, first thoughts of Intrabolic are great. It mixed very well, with 32 ounces of water. I sipped it during the workout and the taste was very "refreshing". Not too sweet which is a BIG plus for me.

Got the tingles...love the tingles. Very nice.

Nothing else to note at this point. Hopefully Intrabolic aids in recovery (it should), because I've got a chest/strength day planned for tomorrow!

DAY 2

Today's Supplementation

AEN IntraXCell - 1 Serving
AEN Intrabolic - 1 Serving
Fish Oil
Vitamin Pack

Workout

After yesterdays metabolic workout, I wasn't sure how sore I would be. Well, I was barely sore, so I hit HEAVY Chest and lighter shoulders today. Pretty low total volume today, but I was beat by the end of the workout. Chest featured a heavy pressing movement done in a Time - Under - Tension fashion with slow eccentrics. I won't go into more detail, but lets just say my chest got torn up! Also got some nice back to back sets and some drop-sets in. Overall, SWEET.

Strength
[*****]

Maybe Placebo here, but my pressing today was WAY up from the last time (1 week ago). Certainly not solely due to the intrabolic, but I think that Intrabolic certainly helped my recovery in-between sets, thus allowing me to go heavier each and every time.

Stamina / Endurance
[*****]

Again, EXCELLENT endurance. I had 2 sets that consisted of three exercises in a row W/O rest and I dominated them. It also seemed that whenever I set down the weights, I was ready for another set right off. My workout partner today couldn't keep up.

Energy / Focus
[***--]

Nothing particularly crazy again. I'm not expecting it though, so thats not a problem.

Pumps / Vascularity
[****-]

My chest has never felt so pumped, period. I get the feeling that Beta-alanine has a great pump/vascularity effect on me. I've used intraXcell before, but it was with another product (White Flood). I attributed most of the pumps to white flood, but these pumps are VERY MUCH like those from when I stacked IXL + WF. These are better than any arginine based product pumps. very "dry".

Recovery
[****-]

I recovered very well from yesterdays workout, which allowed me to go heavy today. Tomorrow will be a better test though, as I completely wrecked my chest today.

Other Observations / Comments

Mixed Intrabolic in 40 Ounces of water today. It was a bit too much water and the flavor became very bland. Much better in 24-32 ounces. COLD water is key too.

Tomorrow is a lower-metabolic day, so PAIN is the name of the game. I can't wait!

DAY 3

Today's Supplementation

AEN IntraXCell - 1 Serving
AEN Intrabolic - 1 Serving
Fish Oil
Vitamin Pack

Workout

Probably the hardest workout I've done thus far. Today was a lower metabolic day. AWFUL. Including sprint + some other stuff I don't even know the name of. I went through four cycle of the metabolic circuit...I was toast after two, but still did four. Awesome.

Strength
N/A]

My leg days are more endurance related, so strength isn't really measurable.

Stamina / Endurance
[*****]

Whew...Really nice here. I still was dead, but lactic acid buildup was certainly delayed. I was gassed by the end though. Never been so tired in my life.

Recovery
[*****-]

For some reason, my chest just isn't nearly as sore as I thought it would be today. I KILLED it yesterday, and while it is a bit sore, it is nowhere near as bad as I expected. Cool!

Other Observations / Comments

Not too much else to note today. Energy levels are GREAT, I'm loving the workouts and I'm actually really looking forward to my day off tomorrow. I need to go grocery shopping...I'm running out of food! AH!

Everything else is going well, killed my nutrition midterm today (98), but I've got an Art History Midterm Tomorrow that is going to be hard. I need to memorize 75+ images with names, artists, and dates...YUCK. O well, I've got my clear edge, so I'll be putting it to good use.

[Athletic Edge N]

Awesome feedback Haiz, sounds like IntrAbolic is certainly working well for you.

[DaveGabe24]

Wowow subbed!

I like that format a lot, and really good to see you're enjoying IAB.

[Skircus7]

CONGRATS on your nutrition test!!!

Get some good food today at the grocery store & rest up!

Thanks. Aced my art history test too, but got a Health Care Econ Test back that I didn't do so well on. O well. I'll bring the grade up.

Got a sweet day of training planned. Can't wait.

[onelife]

awesome log!!! im hoping and praying my 2 bottles arrive today. Cant wait to try them and I am very excited about logging them also. Sounds like your really liking this stuff.. I keep reviewing the ingredient list and I just say to myself that there is no way this stuff cant be good!! congrats on the grades!

Yeah. The ingredient list is incredible. It IS that good.

[redhawk76]

Looking great Bryant. I'm already in Intraholics Anonymous. Sounds like you got a killer workout program going.

Workout #4

Today's Supplementation

AEN Steeledge - 1 Serving Pre
AEN IntraXCell - 1 Serving
AEN Intrabolic - 1 Serving
Fish Oil
Vitamin Pack

Workout - Chest/Back/Bi's

Chest and Back today was incredible. Supersetting chest and back has always been a favorite of mine. It really keeps my heart rate going, and since I am working opposing muscle groups, strength on both is very high. Did about 10 sets for back and chest (Each) and then a nice bicep superset. Overall, a great workout.

Strength
[*****]

Five stars here. Strength is way up once again. Just for comparison's sake, my incline DB Presses equaled my flat DB presses from a week ago. Usually I do 5-10 pounds less per arm. Not TODAY!

Stamina / Endurance
[*****]

Again, Endurance is great and is GETTING BETTER. Even after doing some chest/back exercises, I still beat my numbers from the week before on some exercises that I did FRESH from the prior week.

Energy / Focus
[****-]

I was dead today, so I dipped into the steeledge I have. It was exactly what I needed. The energy + endurance of this combined with Intrabolic is probably the best combo I have ever used. I highly recommend this product to everyone. I have used it before, but never with Intrabolic. This is a serious 1 - 2 punch.

Pumps / Vascularity
****-]

Pretty solid here. Actually down from last week, but that might be because my pre-wo meal was a bit further away from my workout than usual. I had a class and then a meeting with a professor, so I got to a gym a little later than usual. Still solid though, as I got a comment about my forearm veins from some kid I didn't even know.

Recovery
[***--]

My legs didn't feel that sore yesterday, so I thought I would be fine. But today, my glutes and hammies are killing me. I love it though, so no complaining. If something took away all of my DOMS, I probably wouldn't like it.

Other Observations / Comments

Got back from my workout and pounded :burg: :burg: . Yeah, two 96% Lean turkey burgers on whole wheat bread. Solid post-workout meal for me. Made the burgers with brown rice + onions + celery. Pretty darn good and they tasted better than any high fat burger I've had in a while.

The gym really helped me focus today. I need to study for my last midterm tomorrow, so I've got a fair bit of work to do. PLUS, I have to work from 10-1 tonight and the Red Sox game is on. I'll get it done though.

Solid Lifting...:dl: :dl: :dl:
