Purpose
This log will test the pre-workout formula for energy, focus, and strength. The compounds of this product are individually dosed in proper amounts to ensure that the exact dosage for maximal results. The combination of energy, focus, and mental sharpness will be assessed throughout every workout.
Goals
History: I have been training seriously for about 2-3 years. Only supplements that I have used on a regular basis are Multi, Fish Oil, Whey, Creatine, Xtend, CORE ABC, and sometimes caffeine/yohimbe preWO.
Current Goals: I lift hard, I condition hard, I don't rest as much as I need to. Hopefully this supplement allows me to fully engage my intensity into each and every workout with no burnout. My ultimate goal is to be around 200lbs with the same BF%. Increased work capacity through GPP and HIIT while maintaining strength is another goal of mine along with hypertrophy. Yes, I try to do it all!
Training
My training consists of either full body days, upper/lower splits, or spontaneous lifting. I try to listen to my body as much as I can. Currently I am doing an upper/lower split (1 on, 1 off) with GPP and HIIT on non-lifting days. I might get one or two days completely off during this whole log, but don't expect it. Check my old log for my previous lifting and and conditioning routines.
Diet
I use a BodyBugg, which accurately tracks caloric expenditure to 93%+ accuracy. I will use this during my log to aid in my bulk/recomposition. I will try to have a 300-500kcal surplus at the end of each day. Daily diet is clean; oats, sweet potatoes, fruit, eggs, chicken, cottage cheese, peannut butter, olive oil, etc, etc, etc.....
Supplementation
Along with Zap I will keep my current supplement routine to keep all of the variables consistent. This will include whey protein, EGCG, 2-3g EPA/DHA, and a standard multi. I also take a intra-workout drink of either Xtend or CORE ABC and ZMA/Melatonin at night for sick dreams and a good rest. I'm not much of a stim junkie so hopefully this product doesn't keep me bouncing off the walls all night. From the looks of it, it wont, its a balanced blend of energy as well as focus.

Highlights:
CORE ZAP is a unique combination of highly effective and proven ingredients in significant quantities that will give you workouts like you have never experienced before! Each serving of CORE ZAP contains:
Physiological Properties and Effects:
Epimedium (icariin 50%): Has been found in clinical studies to improve the condition of reproductive organs and increase the circulating levels of testosterone. By increasing levels of dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin it causes an energy-promoting effect, and by reducing cortisol levels also produces an anti-stress effect. The icariin found in epimedium can restore low levels of both testosterone and thyroid hormone for improved libido. Studies using epimedium have demonstrated reduced bone breakdown, increased muscle mass, and a loss of body fat. When taken pre-workout, icariin?s energy promoting effects excel and an increase in aggression can be noticed
Geranium (1,3 Dimethylpentylamine): Produces a chemical effect similar to adrenaline. It strongly stimulates the central nervous system, leading to increased energy, mental clarity, and enhanced physical performance. This has been found to be especially desirable for athletes requiring extreme focus and muscular exertion. In lower dosages (around 20-25 mg) it causes a pleasant and smooth stimulating effect. At 40 mg, and in combination with 200 mg of caffeine, the result is extreme energy, euphoria, and intense focus. There are also secondary fat-loss effects due to an increase in the chemical messenger that triggers fat release (cAMP), as well the thermogenic properties of this combination.
Sulbutiamine: Stimulates the nervous systems responsible for physical activity, wakefulness, and attention. It is a nootropic agent?a cognitive enhancer with demonstrated clinical effects in improving memory. Sometimes prescribed for patients suffering from lethargy, fatigue, and physical weakness from convalescence, it is a potent stimulant for athletes seeking improved mental and physical performance. A fat soluble derivative of vitamin B-1 (thiamine), sulbutiamine has been shown to promote wakefulness, long term memory, improved response to stress, and positive mood. Typically, the mood uplift subsides easily and promotes restful sleep with vivid dreaming. Taken pre-workout, sulbutiamine creates an intense focus and seems to promote a better mind muscle connection.
L-Tyrosine: An essential amino acid, acts as a precursor to the adrenal hormones norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine. It supports positive mood and also contributes to adrenal, thyroid, and pituitary function by converting to the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4)?which powerfully stimulates fat loss. Several studies have found tyrosine to effectively mitigate stress, cold, fatigue, prolonged work, and sleep deprivation, by reducing stress hormone levels. Both animal and human clinical trials have demonstrated improvements in cognitive and physical performance. Tyrosine also helps to potentiate the effects of caffeine.
Caffeine: A well-known stimulant for boosting energy and improving mood. In excessive quantities it produces a jittery, nervous feeling. But at 200 mg, it effectively interacts with the other ingredients in this formula to stimulate mental alertness and create a feeling of well-being, while providing added energy for more intense workouts.
