The Cordygen V02 log by MATTIKUS

[mattikus]

First I want to thank Matt and everyone at Millenium Sport Technology for this opportunity. Good peoples and a great company.

Now a little about me. I live and work in Manhattan. I have a variety of jobs. I wait tables, bartend, IT consulting (occassionally) and help out in a recording studio. I workout 5 days a week, on a 5 on, 2 off split.

Mon-chest,tri's
Tues-back, bi's
Wed-legs
Thurs-traps, shoulders, abs
Fri-arms and whatever else I feel like

My stats:

• Sex - M
• Height 5'10.5"
• Weight - 182
• Body type - Ectomorph
• Training Experience - Started when I was 16, was on and off until 2005, when I started dieting and supplementation
• Current Supplements VShoppe Multi,CL Sesaglow,Avant Napalm, VShoppe ALA, VShoppe Fish Oil, VShoppe various proteins, MHP Dark Matter, NP Bulk Cissus, NP HMB, NP Leucine
• Current Daily Water Intake- 2-3 gallons

The restaraunt I work in is a three story giant in Times Square. I do alot of running around, sometimes for hours on end. I also usually powerwalk to and from work, which is 3 miles away. Just walking through Times Square and dodging cabs everyday while working out 5 times a week can be quite draining. Proper diet and supplementation is a must. I have taken Cordygen 5 frequently in the past, as it is one of the best endurance supplemnts there is imo.

I recently returned from Lake Tahoe where I was skiing with some pretty hardcore individuals. We would ski from 8 am to 7pm everyday, in some very rough terrain. Normally I would have alot of trouble keeping up, but this last time I brought Cordygen 5. I could go all day and then some. Perfect environment for such a supplement. If Cordygen V02 can enhance my endurance capacity even more than Cordygen 5, I will be quite impressed.

Anyway, I will be pushing it extra hard throughout this log to give it a thorough evaluation. My girlfriend is also moving this week (groan) so I will be doing all the heavy lifting there too.

The fun starts tomorrow!

Subbed! I'm definately interested in your comparison between C5 and VO2.

I am in bro I also want to see how it stacks up to Cordy5 which I loved if todays cardio results are what I can expect I am going to be very happy

DAY 1

Woke up this morn and did some situps and crunches. Ate 5 whole eggs, cup of Ezekiel's almond cereal and washed down 3 caps of Cordygen V02 with 20 grams of whey. About an hour later I was on my way to the gym. Today was chest and triceps, and it was a good one. I like to do about 5-10 minutes of cardio before lifting to get the blood flowing. Usually I am a little slow getting started but not today. I thought it seemed a little easier to breathe but only ten minutes of cardio didn't really put it to the test. So, I decided to push it. Went two miles on the treadmill, then hopped on the bike for another two miles. Even with this first half dose, I found it easier to breathe during cardio. I did notice a difference from baseline, as I have not taken any cordyceps for the last three weeks.

Shortly after cardio, I moved to the weights.

2 warmup sets Bench press
2 warmup sets Dumbbell flyes
1 warmup set Cable flyes

I like to do all my warmup sets for a bodypart at the beginning of a workout when I am doing compound sets, which I did today.

4 sets bench press right into dumbbell flyes
3 sets incline bench press into cable flyes
2 sets machine press into dumbbell flyes into cable flyes

2 sets heavy rope pushdowns
2 sets tricep pulldowns
1 set dips
1 set dumbell kickbacks

1 set of decline pushups until failure

Workout went very well. I did not get as much sleep as I wanted to last night, but energy was very good. I only rested about a minute between each set because I did not really feel that fatigued. Having taken Cordygen5 so frequently in the past, I have come to know the "feeling" that cordyceps can give, (ease of breathing, enhanced recovery between sets, pump from ATP) and I already notice some of these things from this first half dose. I gotta say that this new formula is probably going to work very well for me. I am really looking forward to pushing it this week.

Looks great - I'm going to follow this as I do my test log as well.

[Mattocks118]

looks solid the first day man, i'm headin to the gym soon to try it out

[ncangey0513]

great start, brotha! i'm in!

[A_I_Sports_Nutrition]

I agree Cordy5 was great but I am really liking the VO2

Day 2

Long day today. Helped my woman pack up a bunch of stuff early this morn, and had to squeeze a good workout into an hour time frame before going to work. The workout went very well, followed by nine hours of straight work.

4 caps Cordygen V02 45 minutes before

Back and biceps

2 warmup sets of pulldowns
4 consecutively heavier sets of pulldowns
1 light set of behind the neck pulldowns

I love heavy pulldowns.

2 warmup sets of bent over rows
2 sets of bent over rows
2 sets seated rows
3 sets of deadlifts
1 set of pullups

I didn't have a whole lot of time left so I did as many various curling exercises as I could after that..

I got a VERY good pump in my back (the good kind). Felt great throughout. Definitely could have kept going. Recovery between sets and after finishing felt almost too easy. I almost don't feel right after a workout if I am not completely drained lol. The huge pump I had in my lats and bi's made up for that.

I had to go to work almost immediately after my workout and was very busy. I almost wish I would have brought more Cordygen V02 with me to work cuz I was definitely feeling a little fatigued toward the end of my shift. I am upping the dose to six caps tomorrow, it's leg day! It will be epic.

Looking good bro I love those epic leg days

[Mattocks118]

nice workout

[mattikus]

Well, today was a little less than epic, but kinda interesting.. I woke up feeling like ass this morning. Sore throat, weak feeling, no motivation. I ran a few errands and and decided to not go to work. (I can work when I want pretty much ) Anyway I had little appetite but ate a few small meals. I took the full six capsule dose today and headed for the gym an hour later, despite feeling like crap. On leg day of all days..

So I started my workout kinda slowly..

2 warmup sets leg press machine
2 sets of leg presses

1 warmup set squats
3 sets squats (legs together) each set consecutively heavier
2 sets sumo squats
1 set of light squats to failure

4 sets leg curls
5 sets leg extensions
120 standing calf raises

So the first half of my workout was pretty lackluster, but then the endorphins started kicking in and I was feeling a little better. What was interesting is that despite feeling sh*tty I never felt fatigued from the workout at all. I would do a set as heavy as I could muster and then sit there, not outta breath, not all dizzy like usual. That is kinda weird for me, especially when I am all run down already. On leg day I usually kill myself and take a while to recover. Not today. I never felt out of breath in the least. By the time I got to leg extensions I was feeling so good I upped the weight more than usual and knocked out a few extra reps no problem. I am liking CV02 more and more everyday. Hopefully this potential cold I have is a one day thing and I can get back into it with intensity tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about the sickness I had a 5 day flu last week that kicked my ass

[mattikus]

Not feelin' to hot right now. My throat is killin' me to the point it is hard to sleep. Losing my voice too. I don't feel that bad otherwise but I am really annoyed. I haven't had a cold or flu for like two years and I thought I was in the clear this season. I am the only person I know getting sick right now. I may or may not do a lighter workout today, and maybe my old lady won't need me to help her unpack.. She got a new apt in the meatpacking district. I have a rich gf. Hmmm thinking about that makes me feel a little better lol. Anyway, I may just take some Cordygen 5 until this thing passes to keep my body used to the cordyceps, and then resume the V02 when I feel better. I will pm Matt and see what he thinks I should do.

[Nole1]

Dude - sorry about the sore throat. Get it checked......my wife and like three people she works with all have strep. Seems to be going around.

Hope you kick it soon.
