Lol, I know, I'm writing a work out NOVEL, man, it can barely qualify as a log. Haha. I know what you're saying, though, I bet only a handfull of people have read my log to its entirety. I feel like I'm validating the product by going in to more detail, however ..

Day 21:

Abs:

Triset in a non-stop fashion:
Jack-knives - 15, 15, 15 reps
Bicycle crunches (slow reps) - 10 reps/side
Bicycle crunches (fast reps) - 10 reps/side
Crunches - 25, 25, 25 reps

Superset in non-stop fashion:
Dumbbell Side-bends w/40 lbs dumbbell - 20, 20, 20 reps/side
Rope Crunches - 100 * 20, 100 * 10, 100 * 20
(terrible pulley to do rope crunches on, btw)

Cardio:

Treadmill; Incline of 4-5 degrees; 3.5-4.0 mph.

It's funny about the IXL. I took it 20 minutes prior to hitting abs on an empty stomach, and abs took me 20 minutes, (40 minutes total so far) and I didn't get that extra BA rush untill 20 minutes in to my cardio session -> then the remainder was smooth rolling, and I was @ a 5 degree incline and 4.0mph for the last 10-12 minutes. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Beta Alanine (IntraXCell in this case) is the $hit !

Got another cardio session coming up later on this evening, so I'll be reporting back later on.

Btw, that BS Leviathan Reloaded gave me NOTHING off of 3 caps, and I'm pissed off ! No furnace burning, no alertness, no awakeness, no mood change .. It's funny how this keeps happening with more than a handfull of products out there; last semester I saved up 15 samples * 2 caps of Leviathan Reloaded, and I took it for a week straight, and LOVED its effect throughout the week. I'm giving it a couple more days before returning it to bb.com . And I'm beyond disappointed in Palo Alto Labs.

well im one that reads it all. because i am running this same log, and so that i can learn from a big man haha. i read the thread earlier today somewhere about how new people arent really a fan on testing the products and that kinda bummed me out because people were ragging on light weight people like myself. i mean i am pretty strong for my weight and people dont seem to take taht ratio into mind.

Yeah, you're talking about Trips 3AD log .. We were just talking about the quality of logs and the best potential loggers.. Fact of the matter IS that people who are NEW to bodybuilding or supplements or whatever first of all do not even need a .. hmm, f.x a pre-workout drink or a Pro-hormone or a test-booster. (not to say that I know any beginners who don't get a jug of NOXplode within two days of their first workout of their life..) I worked out in football for three years without a pre-workout drink, but only weightgainers, whey protein and creatine monohydrate.

If a beginner comes in and logs f.x an RPM/Drive cycle, he'd have NOTHING to compare his results to, so how would he know he couldn't have grown or gotten stronger like he did on the 'proposed RPM/Drive cycle' without anything ? Also, many people have a great lack of detail regarding their diet, if they even have one .. A product doesn't yield results by itself; you need the whole package; the whole shebangabang . . diet, training, supplementation . . .

BTW, how's it feel to be getting them front-delt veins in ?!

Or play your abs like a washboard in a front porch band. I wanted something like the Beverly Hillbillies, but I couldn't pass up this gem.

2 caps Leviathan along with 2 caps of AMP is putting a fire in the furnace for sure ! I took it about 90 minutes ago, and kicked in 30 minutes ago. Right after it kicked in, my meal was scheduled. Man, the AMP does it's thing with the appetite suppression every time ! I get turned off from food every time I take AMP !

So, my decision is this. I'm not gonna blow another $30-40 on another fat burner, nor do I have the patience to return the damned Leviathan (yet). I'm gonna be doing 2 caps of Leviathan Realoaded w/2 caps AMP in the early AM, and again in the mid-afternoon. I'll be doing this for the next three days, and see how it goes. But I won't risk wasting the LR faster than necessary, so I won't be doing 3 caps again ..

Maybe try 2 levR with 1 amp, or one levR and 1 amp. See if you can find a sweet spot that's still cost effective.

Unfortunately, my sweet spot tends to be when my furnace is burning and I sense my eyes look like I'm on an upper. lol. Not literally, but 2 LevR/2 AMP made me feel good ! Even now my furnace is still a little jacket, 3 hours after ingestion. And like I said, that meal was TOUGH to get down !

Like I mentioned, I had one full bottle of AMP and one of LR. @ 2 caps each twice daily, each bottle should last me 22.5 days, but since i'll probably be adding another 2 AMP pre-workout, I may have to consider a different dosing schedule.

Thanks for the advice, bro !

Haha, don't worry, bro, one in a hundred members will ever shrug at someone being under 200 lbs, and the other 99 just look at that one person with contempt.

No worries, bro, 200 lbs isn't where ya gotta be to be considered 'something.'

Just take your time and solidify !
