Background
Alright I’ve been outta the loop for a short while and gonna get this up here to just track my progress and give a general review of Drive and most other supplements I’m taking at the time. I started back in the gym shortly after Christmas being laid off back in august and not being able to afford a membership till now.
I'll pick up the log now although I’ve already seen DRAMATIC results since I’ve been back this past couple weeks starting at 180lbs Christmas day with a nice bit of lower abs oblique and back padding and now being a much more solid 185lbs.
Strength has come back quickly and continues to go up but as a back injury from squatting last week reminded me I need to take it a lil slower since my muscles are obviously getting back to norm much faster then my tendons and ligaments were ready. I picked up some super cissus and am also dosing it currently at 6g's spread out through the day in 3-4 doses. I’m already nearly recovered from the injury now but am still wearing a brace while lifting for added support.
I’ve also got a workout partner now when I previously always worked out by myself and attribute much of the progress to that since I have been able to push beyond failure on every set with assisted reps and we are at the same approx strength level so we do very well at keeping each other motivated and continue pushing it higher and harder each time we start the same muscle group again. I’ve been very VERY happy with the added recovery I’ve been able to get with Drive and how fast strength has come back.
Just this last week I’ve also added an additional 100mg of 20%forslean that I take with my nightly dose of 1-carboxy for night time fat loss and preventative measures for catabolism while I sleep, which has been absolutely great with vivid dreams as well. 1-carboxy is def the good part of powerfull IMO.
I’ve been on a bulking diet since I’ve started as well and although at first it was hard to get back to taking in so many cals I’ve quickly become accustomed to it again and am happy to see I am not putting on any extra fat either.
So I'll go ahead and break down where I stand now with stats routine and diet and will add pictures tomorrow and weights lifted will be updated next time I go and then progress will continue to be tracked thereafter.
I also forgot to mention this week I started taking Pslin preworkout and with my morning meal on off days with the proper 60-100g's of carbs.
