Jecko's Cut Log with USP Tester Sample

jecko29 · 02-15-2006, 01:23 PM

I received my package in the mail on Friday and counted out 142 caps which works out to 35.5 days worth of caps. I like to kinda get a feel for what I am taking before diving right in so I have been trying a few different combos with the product.

Day1- Just 2 red caps upon waking and 2 before workout.
Day 2- 2 caps, 25mg ephedrine hcl upon waking and 2caps, 25mg E before working out.......I had a headache all day with this combo, it felt pretty bad in my frontal lobes so I'm not sure what it could've been so on day 3 I scaled back to 16mg of E but still minor headaches. If any of the USP cats have any ideas on what the possible cause for these are I'd love for some ideas ???

RED caps, hmm sounds interesting...

So my first post was just me getting ready for the big log, so this is it, it's gametime now the official 30 day trial of USP's cutting product starts today.

First a little history about myself:
Age: 29 (30 in 4 months)
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 206lbs as of this morning
Bodyfat%: 30.2% as per my digital scale

I'm not sure if I believe the damn thing.
Years Training: I got my first Weider starter kit when I was 12 and did BP everyday for like a year

until I picked up a copy of Flex and started reading it faithfully while Lee Haney was reeling of Olympia victories like they were nothing. Anyways, played very competitive hockey right up until I was about 22 (Major Junior, College/University Varsity) so I was always training for strength and speed lots of plyometrics and explosivetraining. However the past few years have not been so kind, after all those years of hockey the injuries have caught up and made it difficult to even walk some days combine that with a Management job that leaves me stuck at a desk for most of my day I got fat. As of last June I had hit a peak of about 238lbs. My wife and I had also just moved into a new house and I had been waiting for months for it to be completed because there was a decent gym around the corner

So in July I got my membership at the new gym and it was time to re-focus myself to getting back in shape. I was making some pretty decent progress in the gym until September when I got jumped by 6 punks at my best friends bar and they put me out of commision for about a month and a half where I lost some ambition

In December I got motivated again for a trip to Mexico in April so I decided to get myself some Melting Point, Basic Cuts, Glucophase XR and Cissus RX to help accelerate the fat loss. I started in December at a weight of 221lbs, out of the whole 8 weeks I did that stack the one thing that really got me going again was the Cissus, I was able to start walking without pain in my hip flexor and knees (thanks USP).

So that brings me to today, overall on the previous stack I lost 12lbs in the 8 weeks I was on. I have lost a further 3lbs in the past 2weeks and would like to get to 195 for the first of April.

Here are my measurements as of today:

Chest- 43"
Stomach- 40.25"
Waist- 38"
Hips- 42.25"
L/Quad- 24.75"
R/Quad- 24.5"
L/Calf- 15"
r/Calf- 15.25"
L/Upper Arm- 15.5"
R/Upper Arm- 15.25"
L/Forearm- 12.5"
R/Forearm-12.5"

I will post my measurements from the beginning of December later as they are on my laptop at work.

My workout plan will look like this:

Monday- Chest and Tris
Tuesday- back and Bis
Wednesday- Hockey one hour
Thursday- OFF
Friday- Shoulders and Traps
Saturday- Cardio (45min-1hour) and Abs
Sunday- Legs

I will post the exercises, sets and rep schemes each day due to the fact that my exercises may change week to week to whatever equipment is available at the gym when I go (it gets pretty crowded somedays)

I will be trying to use a 40/40/20 split for my diet at between 1800-2100 calories/ day. I am not going to log my food daily but I will post a link to my Fitday. If anyone is looking at my diet and has any suggestions etc I am all ears, I love to assimilate as much information as possible.

As for supplements, I will be using the following:
Red Caps from USP 2caps/2x/day
EphedrineHCL 8mg/2x/day (to start see my above post about headaches)
BN CEE- 3.5-4grams pwo
Glucophase XR- 1 cap pwo and 1 cap before bed
Multi Vitamin

I will be logging bedtime weight and morning weight daily as well as my overall comments on training and the supplements effects.

OH YEAH cant wait until I get my stack !!! subscribed and good luck

Thursday-

Bedtime- 210
Morning- 206

First off, wow what the hell is in this stuff ???? I took 2caps and 16mg of E before hockey at 1630 and I couldn't sleep at all last night and it felt like my internal furnace was cranked. I think I am going to have to change my dosing times to 700 and 1400 just to make sure that it clears my system so I can sleep.

Anyway, I had the day off yesterday and woke up late so I missed one meal and ended with only 1500cals. When I took my second dose before hockey I started to get a warming sensation all over and I had a ton of energy on the ice, got a little too aggressive a couple of times but that's just hockey.

Question for USP: Is this stuff prone to kick the libido up a notch?? For whatever reason I got a little more jump if you know what I mean

I hope so, but I didn't have this problem last week when it was ECA solo. Another thought is that I slept in until 10am that morning and I have just came off a 2 week stretch of an afternoon shift so the body hasn't adjusted to my regular 9-5. However what I will do is just change the dosing to what I posted earlier and when my body has gotten back to my normal sleep cycle I'll take it later in the day just before I work out.

Oh ya, I almost forgot. Here are my measurements from December when I started my cut:

Chest- 45"
Stomach- 43"
Waist- 41"
Hips- 43.5"
L/Quad-25.5 "
R/Quad- 25.5"
L/Calf- 16"
r/Calf- 16.25"
L/Upper Arm- 15..25"
R/Upper Arm- 14.5"
L/Forearm- 12.5"
R/Forearm-12.5"

Lost pretty much an average of an inch off most everything and it shows in the mirror.

Friday-

Bedtime- 207.4
Morning- 204.8

No workout yesterday, it was an off day and it was a good thing I was pretty tired from the night before. I still had problems sleeping last night and I dosed my E and red caps earlier in the day, so I am going to assume that my body is just going throught the adjustment of being back on the day shift at work. Tonight will be Back, Shoulders and Bis.

Weekend-

Bedtime- 210
Morning- 206

Terrible weekend. To start, I got about 3hrs sleep on Friday night after doing Back, Shoulders and Bis. The workout was decent nothing to write home about, I was presse for time so I did 2 super sets followed by some isolation work:

Superset 1:
Exercise Sets Reps
Lat Pulldowns 3 (w/1 warmup) (15) 12,10,10
Shoulder Press " " " "
Hammer Curls " " (12),10,10,8

Superset 2:
WideGrip Low Pulley Rows 3 10,10,8
Side Laterals 3 10,10,8
BB Curls 3 10,8,6

Did each exercise one right after each other and felt pretty spent at the end of it. With the lack of sleep so far this week my performance was sub par

So Saturday roles around and my in-laws want us to go to the International Car Show in Toronto, I just finished working so we hopped in the car and away we went with me only having 3 hours of sleep. The one saving grace was I took one serving of red caps and 25mg of E just before we left and another serving for later. What was worst was I knew I was going to have to eat fast food for the day so all and all Saturday was a write off.

Sunday, much better I'm not sure what is in the red caps but I am really starting to like it. I had an awesome Chest and Tris workout (I switched legs to Monday after all the walking I had to do at the Auto show).

Exercise Sets Reps
DB Incline Press 6 (2 warmups) (15,12) 10,8,6,6
BB Bench Press 4 10,5,5,4
Assisted Dips 3 10,8,8
Close Grip BP 3 8,8,8
1 arm Reverse grip Pulldowns 2 10,10
Rope Pressdowns 2 10,8

I went up 10 lbs on both my Incline DB presses and BB Bench Press and had a wicked pump at the end of the workout but again ended up with the in-laws watching the big race and ended up eating pizza for dinner. This week will be much better on the diet aspect of things.

Any mental or physical let down or burnout feeling after the dose wears off at the end of the day, etc?

I always avoid stims now because while I am on them I feel like Superman and I overdo it and then later I feel so burnt out both physically and mentally I just can't deal with it.

Not really, I've always been pretty good with stims and the effects. However last night I went gung ho on legs and by the time it was about 2200 I was a dead dog. I didn't even want to walk up the stairs to go to bed. I think that I have been running such a high calorie deficit for so long now that it is really starting to impact my energy levels. The changes to my body in the mirror are worth it though.

Bedtime- 210
Morning- 207

OK, so I'm up a couple of pounds from my lowest point last week

My bodyfat% on my scale have not changed at all so hmmmmmm. I had a great workout lastnight, it was kind of like having tunnel vision while in the gym which is always good on leg day.

Exercise sets reps
Leg Press (2warmup)+4 17,15,12,10,5,5
Hack Squat 3 8,8,8
Leg Curl 3 10,10,10
Stand Calf Raise 3 10,10,10
Seated Calf Raise 3 10,10,8
Abducters 3 15,15,15
Adductors 3 15,15,12

So on leg press I was actually able to complete one extra set at my top weight for 5 full reps which is big for me since my hip flexor is still a little wonky but I had a great level of focus when I was under the weight and it was a big ego booster. The energy that I am getting is definately coming from the USP product because I know my normal reactions to the E-hcl so far I am really liking this product. I don't really like what the scale is saying but my appearance in the mirror can't be lying, I will be doing my measurements again at the half way point and that will maybe help ease the mind.

I left out a couple of other things here, not sure if it is related but I've had a break out of about 3-4 zits in the past week......I never get zits

Just a weird coincidence perhaps. Also, I've changed my dosing just a bit for sustained energy throughout the day
700- 2 redcaps/ 24mg of E-hcl
1200- 2redcaps
1630- 2redcaps/ 24mg of E-hcl

How does that look USP guys???
