Irish Cannon's Basket of Greatness (A BW Knockoff - More per capsule!)

[Irish Cannon]

Log Introduction

This was originally intended to be placed in the Supplement Review section due to the vast amount of supplements I'll be using, however, with the exception of Prime, I've reviewed most of these before either in their own log, or within the log of another product. So, rather than flooding the forum with repetitive data, I'll utilize this as a training log due to the fact that my approach will be heavily DC-based, but with a strong emphasis on more volume.

ALSO, this log will include my unbiased thoughts on PRIME, and as with all of my logs, a final review will be placed in the company sub-forum (USP Labs section). This will be my first run with it, and I'm also using the updated formula with more active ingredient, so I'm very excited.

Current Weight: 175lbs

Training routine is still in the making, but I'll have it finished by tomorrow night as I start my first PRIMEd workout on Monday morning. - So far, my idea is that I'll be doing 3 muscle groups/day, and training 3x/wk. Something like this:

Mon: Chest/Hams/Forearms

Wed: Back/Quads/Calves

Fri: Arms/Delts/Traps

For each muscle group, I plan on doing 3 warmup sets, 3 MAX-OT sets, and 2 rest-pause sets, with each RP set being a different exercise. For example:

Chest...

Flat Bench BB Press x 15, 12, 10...Max Weight Set (3-6 reps), Max Weight Set, Max Weight Set

Incline DB Press x 12-->RP-->RP

Dual Cable Fly x 12-->RP-->RP

Look good? I thought so!

Cheers.

I came into some Hemodraulix recently, IC. How long do you find it takes to have an effect on you?

[babywifey]

"Basket of Greatness" huh? Definitely sounds more masculine than "Bucket of Happiness".

I'm totally in! Awesome list of supplements! I'm interested in SV2.

...As long as it's just a "Knockoff" of BW... not a knock-up...

[tyler4]

I'm in for this. We will have a somewhat similar stack here shortly. Except mine will be more of a bulking one. I'll probably be grabbing some Hemo soon as well.

I notice a difference from Day 1, but after the first week is when you really see a profound effect on your workouts. I would recommend ramping the dosage up each week for two weeks, starting at 6 caps, then to 8, then hold at 10 for the remainder.

Routine Update

I decided to make a small change. I won't be hitting Forearms directly, but rather within my bicep workouts. This way I can split up both Bis/Tris into separate workouts as well as Hams/Quads, and still be doing resistance training only 3x/wk. So, the routine will be...

Mon - Hams/Chest/Tris

Wed - Traps/Back/Bis

Fri - Quads/Delts/Calves

There's a decent chance that I will be doing two-a-day training on M/W/F due to my school schedule. I have class M/W from 1-4pm, so I'm thinking I'll do fasted cardio in the morning, get in a meal, go to class, eat during class, then do my resistance training immediately after I leave school. I think it should work out quite well. - But, as it stands now, I'm still doing the fasted resistance training in the morning.

Great to see all of you here. Thanks for joining me! I have faith that I'm going to make some significant progress in weeks to come. I should really dice up and add some functional strength!

That's a lot of intensity and I think it's a good approach for such a supplement as PRIME. I like the liberty and margin of the three max weight sets are a good thing. PRIME has a way of surprising you in terms of performance from set to set and session to session. What will determine whether you move up in weight for the max OT sets? Will it be If you complete the 3rd OT set in the 4-5 rep range? 5-6 rep range?

The RP's work good as well. Within the RP set up, you have the intensity and a bit of volume. Question about your RP procedure, at what point do you decide it's time to move up in weight? Is it dependent on how many RP's it takes you to achieve 12 reps? Is it if you complete 12 reps under 3 RP's, at 3 RP's, 4 RP's?....etc.

Something deep in my bones would like to see you tag on one more RP exercise to your arsenal, but perhaps you could wait and see how well you respond to PRIME. In my experience with PRIME-diole, Once your body gets into the groove of a regiment that intense, fueled by the PRIME-ene, you'd be surprised what you're able to pull off.

PRIME has a way of surprising you in terms of performance from set to set and session to session.

This is exactly how I feel. It is not a steroid-type of volume progression where you are throwing an additional 20lbs on every workout, destroying the gym; however, for a natural product, the strength increases are unsurpassed, IMO. It is an amazing feeling when every workout inevitably contains the phrase, "Wow, I thought that was going to be much harder" or "Really? I can lift that eight times?".

[Irish Cannon]

What will determine whether you move up in weight for the max OT sets? Will it be If you complete the 3rd OT set in the 4-5 rep range? 5-6 rep range?

Yes, it will purely be based on the number of reps I achieve within the set. I'd like the reps to go 6,4-5,3-4 on the last three sets. If I hit above that range in either set, I'll bump up the weight.

Question about your RP procedure, at what point do you decide it's time to move up in weight? Is it dependent on how many RP's it takes you to achieve 12 reps? Is it if you complete 12 reps under 3 RP's, at 3 RP's, 4 RP's?....etc.

I'll choose a number of total reps and attempt to hit it (DC style); however, it will be my target weight, so once I hit it, the weight gets bumped.

I'll probably pick a number between 12-15. This week is my test week, so I'll see what I think. I'm about to hit my first workout in a few minutes.

Ya, I don't believe I have any unrealistic expectations. I'm just curious to see how the PRIME will effect my training with this type of diet and resistance routine. I'm pretty freakin' low-cal right now.

I decided to try the 5/2/1 dosing today. I just think it may be better to get in two capsules rather than one mid-day, as with the 6/1/1 dosing. Maybe I'll try 6/1/1 next week.

Hitting it in a few. Pre-workout supps:

200mg Coleus
1.5sc Smash FL
5x PRIME
1x T911
5x IGF-2
8x Hemodraulix
2x Speed V2
4g Creatine Monohydrate
3g ALCAR
1g VitC

...Yaaa, I had a large handful of pills.

[tyler4]

IC, how do you dose you T-911? W/O and rest days.

I'm just doing 2tabs/day, every day right now.

Day 1 - RP-IC-To the DC and a little MAX OT

Awwww yea.

Sick workout today. I already listed my pre-workout supps, so here was the routine. I don't feel like listing the weights, so I'm just going to lay out the exercises...

Hamstrings

Prone Leg Curl: 3 Warmup, 3 MaxOT
Good Mornings: RP, 1-->2-->3
SLDL: RP, 1-->2-->3

Surprised myself on how I could do those last two exercises. Weight was pretty light, but it was nice to do them.

Chest

Flat Bench BB Press: 3 Warmup, 3 MaxOT (+1 rep since last max even after 5 sets; 225x4)
Incline Bench DB Press: RP, 1-->2-->3
Pec Fly Machine: RP, 1-->2-->3

Triceps

CG Bench Press: 3 Warmup, 3 MaxOT
W-Bar Pressdown: RP, 1-->2-->3
Overhead Tricep Extension Machine: RP, 1-->2-->3

It was a great workout. My target reps on the RP sets will be 15. I got between 13-19 on the RP sets today. What I'm going to do if it's under 15 is keep the weight the same until I achieve 15 and bump it up. So all of the exercises that were 15 or above today will get bumped in weight next week.

Prime Notes: I still have a pump going which is extremely out of the ordinary for me (finished lifting about ~45mins ago). Hemo gives me great pumps, but usually once I leave the gym they dissipate rather quickly, so I can only attribute it to the Prime.

[metroba]

IC, why are you taking 5 prime pre w/o?

[Irish Cannon]

IC, why are you taking 5 prime pre w/o?

Because I'm f*cking crazy...Mullet suggest using it this way, and I'll listen to him.

I take 6 caps on off days (2/2/2) and 8 caps on training days (5/2/1). - This comes out to just over 6 weeks with my two bottles. It allows for a surge of increased adaptagen behavior pre/intra-workout which is precisely when you want it.
