Prime + 6-OXO sounds nice.

He was talking about running Prime with MMV2/M1D? Wouldn't the Prime be better in PCT?

Clearly I'm keeping this run solo. However, should I choose to continue with a theoretical PRIME stack, would DTHC be too redundant? I ask not because the two interest me as a combination, its just because I still have almost a full bottle of DTHC.

I'll keep 6-OXO on the brain storm list.

DTHC hit differently, so it would be like 2 good things (well if you respond to Prime I suppose) at once. I would do it after you've assessed Prime solo.

I didn't realize it was Mullet target practice day - maybe I should start shooting back?

Day 3; short, second workout

Invalid Link Removed

No excuses this time around. My triceps are the least worked muscle group I have, because for the most part, they are aesthetic free-bees and I've never really cultivated a passion for them. Therefore, I can't implicate neural this or due to past hard work that. Tonight's gains are without repentance.

Laying Double Db Triceps Extensions
35lbs Db's x 10 reps
40lbs Db's x 10 reps (+2 reps All Time PR)
45lbs Db's x 8 reps (+5lbs All Time PR]
50lbs Db's x 6 reps (+10lbs All Time PR] This was a WTF gain. There's no momentum in a laying db extension, so I can't really bad form up the weight with exaggerated body movement. I honestly, didn't think I'd ever hit 50lbs when I first started doing these, because I began on the 25's and they were challenging at first, but by the time I hit the 40's, I thought I'd made it to the top of the hill as far as this exercise was concerned]
[Performance Rating: WOW; not World of Warcraft]

Cable, Triceps Extensions
150lbs x 10 reps
170lbs x 8 reps
200lbs x 6 reps [I don't hit tri's enough to "KNOW" my workout standards for anything other then my opening exercise, but I suspect this was a PR]
[Performance Rating: Above Average]

Cable, Reverse Triceps Extensions
120lbs x 10 reps [like a warm knife through butter, light]
150lbs x 10 reps
170lbs x 8 reps [this was some kind of a PR]
180lbs x 6 reps [therefore, this was as well]
[Performance Rating: Above Average]

Cable, One Arm, Reverse Triceps Extensions
50lbs x 10 reps, each arm
60lbs x 8 reps, e.a.
70lbs x 8 reps, e.a.
80lbs x 6 reps, e.a. [+10lbs PR, at least, I suspect the 70's, but I'll let that slide]

Everything felt lighter tonight and I had to workout on an empty stomach, after my second time at the performance facility today. You'd be surprised how tiring it is to run a team of football players through manually resisted sprints, one after another. I also only had 4 pieces of chicken for lunch at 2:00pm. My workout tonight began at 7:30 p.m. Therefore, if diet was any kind of performance factor, it would have been a debilitating one.

Prior to walking in the gym, I was almost certain I would not have any special surprises with my triceps workout, because my triceps are not worked consistently like my other body parts, they fall under misc auxilliary when I'm forced to do them because i can't do anything else. Therefore, I had no backdoor to accredit unusual gains to.

Another thought. I know that I know, my fiber ratio lays heavier on the type II vs type I. My workout partner and I are very similar in body type, shape, size and strength. However, when we're in a hypertrophy phase, where our numbers are 10-15 reps, he generally outperforms me with the higher rep weights. Not by a lot, but he can pull out those last 3-4 reps when I'm burnt. However, when we're in a strength phase, I am head and shoulders above him in the low 6-10 range and that margin separates even further in my favor as the reps drop to the 2-5.

I wonder if PRIME has a special inclination toward people who are type II favored, I don't know, I think I'm making excuses again, so I'll stop.

I don't think it favors one class over the other Big V. My biggest surprises were the higher rep back off finishing sets where I usually was getting around 15 reps before PRIME. That turned into 20 reps or even slightly higher during the PRIME. So my type I fibers were postively affected. But at the same time, my type II fibers were also affected in very positive manner. Very positive! Well, you were there for the ride. You saw it.

Another awesome workout Sam. I'm guessing you are coming to the realization that placebo can now be ruled out. I think you are seeing the PRIME kicking in, in its true actuality now. For some it kicks in almost immediately (you and myself included) and with others it appears to be kicking in after the first week or so. Others.....I don't know. Once again, what was their training like, their diet, their commitment, etc....?

I truly believe the best is yet to come for you on this run. Keep riding the wave big V!! :thumbsup:

My next run I am thinking Testofen, Icariin... I am keeping a eye on that new Fenugeek extract Torabolic though. Ever since they said that Prime doesn't raise Test I have been asking myself what if you take it with something that does. I have been also considering USP run on the new PureSap bulk.

Extreme synergy. Prime has been developed to be an alternative to damaging PH's & the whole cycle/PCT thing.. but, because they work on different levels (neuromuscular vs. hormonal), I think one could make some pretty outrageous stacks with this..

I almost feel guilty about posting my results today. I had a third oddly successful day and rather then going into details about the various mediating variables, I'll accredit my overwhelming results today to these top three markers:

#1. 40% due to More "radical" neuromuscular enhancements taking place.
#2. 30% due to new level of acquired LBM in the past 3 months of hypertophic lifting, producing new levels of strength.
#3. 20% due to PRIME


I'm almost hoping that nothing extraordinary happens in my next workout. It's uncharacteristic of me to provide PR numbers, because most of my logs are more volume based then intensity based.


Must Read, Volcom gone socialist for a day.
I want to bring another variable to light. I want to socialize my credit today and spread the wealth of praise. I can't rationalize today's gains. They were major to the point of disbelief, therefore, in my own way to make sense of it, I will socialize my credit.

Immediately prior to this PRIME log, I spent 30 days in a hypertrophy phase with BLUE GENE, I then extended that hypertrophy phase another 30 days, with BLUE GENE + BLUE UP, I then extended that hypertrophy phase another 30 days with White Flood + DTHC/Sunami/Icariin-50. Therefore, PRIME may be a "prime" catalyst for these gains, but I spent plenty of time, tears and toil building a foundation for these new neuromuscular mechanisms to expound upon.

In the natural order of things, I do make subtle weekly gains during a strength phase, but never to this degree. I'm a grown @$$ man with a real and currently irrationally busy life, I have no interests in fabricating anything for an internet board. I feel the need to reiterate this due to the negativity and ambiguity surrounding this product. FOR ME, it has exceeded expectations, though my expectations are rarely, prematurely set that high. I like to take it as it comes (no homo) and go with whatever my results are showing me.

i hope. im gunning for the 'O, and i figure the only way to get huge like jay or dexter is with the worlds first hardcore anabolic multi-vitamin.

and ive heard the santa story. apparently, his sleigh is powered by a new fuel system. nano-molecular-cryo-awesome-dispersion. and he killed the reindeer, and extracted new compounds which studies say increase muscle size by 3000% compared to HGH.
 
Day 4; Good, but not extraterrestrial.

Invalid Link Removed

3 days and 4 workouts of exceeding expectations to a point of disbelief has obviously influenced my anticipation of new and exciting things. The triceps workout last night would have been my pick of the most average of days, considering my sub-par commitment to train them as I do with other body parts. Therefore, when the exceptional gains occurred in some of my triceps exercises, I was seriously impressed and bewildered.

Today was delts, a body part that I anticipated jack-in-box gains, however, it was "surprisingly" normal; normal in comparison to my previous workouts, but still good.

Behind The Neck Shoulder Presses
225lbs x 10 reps
225lbs x 8 reps
225lbs x 6 reps
[This was the first time in the past 4 workouts that something felt heavier then anticipated. Based on my recent performances, I was expecting to be surprised with an exceptional opening exercises, but no, this actually remained the same.]
[Performance Rating: Average]

Db Lateral Raises
40lbs Db's x 10 reps
45lbs Db's x 8 reps
50lbs Db's x 8 reps
[Performance Rating: Above Average]

Bent Over Db Lateral Raises
50lbs Db's x 10 reps
50lbs Db's x 8 reps
50lbs Db's x 8 reps
[Important Info Below; Relieves me of being a PR hack]
[These were technically PR's, in that I haven't gone this heavy with them before, but that's just it, I hadn't tried them in the past, which does not implicate that I could not do them in the past. I normally pyramid up to 50lbs, where I would end with 10 reps, because I would normally start at 40lbs for 12-15, 45lbs for 10-12 and so on. This was my first attempt to work 50lbs across all the sets, but it's hard to say if I was "able or not able" to do this previously. If nothing else, this is a good standard at this point.]
[Performance Rating: Above Average]

Db Front Raises
30lbs Db's x 10 reps
35lbs Db's x 8 reps
40lbs Db's x 7 reps [+1 rep All Time PR]

Barbell Shrugs

It's not often that a supplement takes me by surprise. I felt the most hype from Recreate, because I was waiting on it, tapping at the window, waiting for it's release as my cutting phase would launch the day it arrived in the mail. Recreate was good, but not, WTF good. FOR ME, this has been a WTF good experience with PRIME so far.

Of course I haven't experienced some of the more potent stuff out there, like the -enes and the -drols, so many of your guys idea of a WTF experience may exceed mine own. However, this is my first WTF experience with a supplement as far as strength and sheer expedience of efficacy goes.

One of you guys might as well start one up, haha. I believe it's a Firefighter's tactic called "clearing the brush."

Honestly, due to some of the religious fervor surrounding Prime, I already prepared myself for some troll hate, which is why I included an appeasing intro to my log. It was meant to serve as an anti-troll spray. No worries though, I'm satisfied with the company I have around now.

That's a good analogy, my experiences are the same with those two products. Recreate for me met with about 75% of the claims and Prime more like 90%.
 
My recent delts workout was a very traditional, meat & potatoes, tried and true, cookie cutter delts workout. A major compound movement, followed by various angled isolated movements for the delts. I'm glad I logged a classic delts workout in, because I don't normally perform traditional delts routines. I tend to prefer multiple compound movements that out number isolated movements. I usually do 3-4 compound exercises to 1-2 isolated exercises for delts, and not because I think it's more effective, I just like it.

My tendency to favor compound delt exercises are especially apparent when strength is a focus, even though it's still apparent during hypertrophy emphasized lifting.

Furthermore, on occasion I'll start with a full, 3-4 traps exercises routine before starting my delts, again, not because I think its best, I just like it. I've got a thing with traps and forearms (brachioradialis/extensors), abnormally so, and it shows in my workouts.

Therefore, I'm not clueless or lost in my methods of delt development, it's intentional and strategically done (I love developed traps, perhaps slightly more then delts), weirdo Invalid Link Removed I know.

I can pretty much guarantee that Volcom trains harder, and I'm being completely serious about that. I've lifted with pros (not as training partners, but at the same gym) and most of their workouts are pretty lame. They do a lot of sets, and a lot of reps. There is not much to say beyond that.

I used to have a problem with overdeveloped traps... any time I do anything like power cleans my traps get oversized and out of proportion. I do no direct trap work whatsoever and they're still huge.

Son of a biscuit! An "elite" powerlifter with ABS!!! I would have had to seen it to believe it.

Day 5

Invalid Link Removed

I believe my days of "major" gains are through. I think I am performing at the (new) pinnacle of my abilities, therefore, gains ought to become more and more subtle.

Brachioradialis Emphasized, Biceps Day

Hammer Db Curls
50lbs x 10 reps (feeling MUCH easier)
60lbs x 8 reps
70lbs x 7 reps (+1 rep PR. This is reasonable).

Barbell Reverse Curls
65lbs x 10 reps
85lbs x 10 reps (+2 reps PR)
105lbs x 6 reps

Vertical Preacher, EZ Bar Reverse Curls
65lbs x 10 reps
75lbs x 8 reps
85lbs x 6 reps

Cable, EZ Bar Reverse Curls
120lbs x 10 reps
140lbs x 8 reps
160lbs x 8 reps (+2 reps PR)

Concentrated Hammer Curls
40lbs x 10 reps, each arm
45lbs x 8 reps, e.a.
50lbs x 6 reps, e.a.

Traps development are one of my oddities, my other, are forearms, with a preference of the brachio's, extensors, then flexors.

Truly breaking ground strength on a day like this would be a 75lbs Db Curl for 6 and 125lbs Barbell Reverse Curls. We'll see if that ever happens.

It's not often that a supplement takes me by surprise. I felt the most hype from Recreate, because I was waiting on it, tapping at the window, waiting for it's release as my cutting phase would launch the day it arrived in the mail. Recreate was good, but not, WTF good. FOR ME, this has been a WTF good experience with PRIME so far.

Of course I haven't experienced some of the more potent stuff out there, like the -enes and the -drols, so many of your guys idea of a WTF experience may exceed mine own. However, this is my first WTF experience with a supplement as far as strength and sheer expedience of efficacy goes.
