Morning all, first I would like to thank USP for giving me this opportunity to test out their product. I am looking forward to keeping a detailed log.
First some info on me, I am a 19year old raw Powerlifter, with recent lifts:
Squat 345x5(last week)
Bench 250x5(last Sunday)
DL 485x4.75(just missed lockout on last rep last week)
I approximate my total to be ~1200-1300 raw
I weigh in at 215lbs 1st thing in the morning, after my pee.
I am currently bulking and will continue to do so throughout my use of cissus, my diet is extremely variable in the foods I eat, but I always get 6 meals a day and I get around:
300g protein per day
70g fat per day
300-350g carbs on rest days
500+g carbs on workout days
Total calories ~3400on rest days and ~3800 on workout days. I steadily gain about 1lb a week using this scheme.
I will not write out a daily diet as it is so changeable, but will say I only eat wholegrains(or other Low GI options) as my carbs, lean meat and fish for my protein (as well as whey around workouts). I get my fats from peanut butter (fresh ground), almonds, peanuts, cashews, salmon and fish oils.
Workout plan
I workout 4-5x a week. usually 2 days on, 1 off. My workouts follow a scheme as follows:
ME bench day
Bench press (4 warmups followed by 4-5 working sets of 5-3-3-2-1)
Reverse grip BB row (3 warmups followed by 4-5 working sets of 5-3-3-3-2)
Seated DB military press (2 warmups followed by 3 working sets of 5-3-3)
Close grip bench or Tri pushdowns with bands (2 warmups followed by 2 working sets of 5-5)
Hammer curls (2 warmups then 2 working sets of 5-5)
ME DL/DE squat
Deadlift (4 warmups followed by 4-5 working sets of 5-3-3-2-1)
Seated calf raise (3 warmups followed by 4-5 working sets of 5-3-3-3-2)
BB static holds, 3 sets of 10-20 seconds mix grip
Hack squat machine (2 warmups followed by 3 work sets of 8)
DE box squat 10sets of 3 reps explosive
DE Bench day
DE bench press 10x3 explosive
Upper body assistance work, this is very variable and depends what I feel like doing. All sets are 8 reps and I ensure I hit each upper body muscle well.
ME Squat/DE Deadlift
Squat(4 warmups followed by 4-5 working sets of 5-3-3-2-1)
Seated calf raise (2 warmups followed by 3 working sets of 8-8-8)

DE banded Bavarian Deadlift 10x3

Grape seed extract
Vit C
Vit E
B complex
Garlic
Glucosamine
ALCAR/Tyrosine/Caffeine sometimes pre workout if I am tired and sometimes when studying.
