I'm doing this log so that my wife can track her progress. First, a little background. She is a middle school teacher so her time is limited during the day to keep up with this, hence, I'm writing it for her. Obviously, from what she's taking, her main goal is weight loss. She is ex-Army and is not a stranger to physical exercise. She has spent time in the gym off and on over the years. This summer she really started hitting it pretty hard in the gym. I was training for my first BB show, so I put her on the same training split I was on. We are still on the same split so we work out together. Her intensity level in the gym is pretty high. She even pushes my intensity levels up, because she doesn't like to take as long as I do, so I get less rest between sets. We train two body parts a day, and nearly everything we do is a superset. Because I am a fulltime firefighter, we are on a two on, one off split. With my shift at the fire dept. being the day off. On those days we do a light cardio. First thing in the morning we get up and do sprint work and hit the gym in the afternoon.

I'm starting to get a little long winded so here's our training split:

Day 1:
Legs
Day 2:
Chest, bi's
Day 3:
off/light cardio
Day 4:
Back, tri's
Day 5:
Deadlifts, shoulders
Day 6: off/light cardio

Day 7 is the same as day one.

I'll try to also keep up with her diet, but this will be a little difficult to do. Since the beginning of the summer she has dropped about 10-11lbs and gone from a 12 to a 10.

So, here's goes the beginning of the log:

This morning we got up at around 5 a.m. and did sprints:

12x40 sprints
3x400 light cool down jogs between sets of 4 sprints.

She takes 2 Hyperdrive in the morning and one Meltdown in the afternoon. She if very tolerant of stims, hence the two Hyperdrive in the morning.

This afternoon will be deadlift shoulders day for us. I'll post here this evening on our workout.

While this log is more to aid my wife, maybe it will be of some benefit to someone else as well. Also, any suggestions from others will be appreciated also.

Kind of a follow up on the Hyperdrive/Meltdown stack since that's in the title of the log.

She tried Recreate alone for about 4 weeks in the first part of the summer and saw no results. (I tried the Recreate during my cutting phase and had to stop after two weeks because I spent so much time in the restroom) After I finished cutting for my BB show I let her have my Meltdown/Redline caps. She was on that for about 4 weeks and that's when she starting coming down in weight. When she ran out of the Redline caps she switched to the Hyperdrive caps. She has been on the current Hyperdrive/Meltdown combo for about 4 days. She says her energy has been up since she started the Hyperdrive, and I'd have to agree from just seeing her increased activity levels during her "down" time. She hasn't had any adverse reaction from this combo either. We'll keep everyone updated.

Amy has always been pretty strong with legs. She's done 225 on squats for six reps before. Her energy levels have still been pretty high. She's still taking 2 Hyperdrive in the morning and is taking 2 Meltdown in the afternoon.

As I mentioned before, she is a teacher and this is the first week back for students so she'll be getting into this new schedule. She finished her Master's degree last year and is in the middle of getting her Specialist degree, so that is taking a lot of her time also. She has done an outstanding job over the summer with her training and it will be a bit of a challenge for her this fall.

I've got to suck up a bit and say that she is the best workout partner I've ever had. Her intensity level in the gym is unmatched by most men. I absolutely love it when she gets to a machine or piece of equipment and puts more weight on than the guy before her had. She has pushed me to higher intensity levels as well. I've thought about putting my own log on here also, but I'd rather keep this more about her.

I know the day's not over yet, but I forgot to put in the calorie count:

1550 cal./100g protein.

Also, If I can figure out how to do it, I'll put up a couple of pictures of her in here.

That's it for this evening. Most sets were done with about one minute rest in between. Occassionally I held her up while she spotted me on some of my heavier sets. Energy levels have been pretty good, especially considering this was her first week back teaching and she's had to get going earlier than she has the rest of the summer. She does her sprint work at 5:30 a.m.

Ok, here's a few pictures of me and Amy. She's 5'4" with a current weight of 168. I'm 5'11' and 195.
