Volcom's Optimus PRIME Log

Mine has an abundance of hot chicks and homos... I'm one of the beefier guys at the gym - which is pretty bad.

If I was on the prowl for a woman, which I'm not, that sounds like the perfect gym. I'd have absolutely no competition because all the men would be gay.

It's sort of like the "if you were the last guy on earth" scenario.

Awesome workout V, what are your plans over Christmas and New Year, soldiering on ?
Click to expand...

My plans over Christmas are to maximize my workouts, now that I can get more then 5-6 hours of sleep throughout the week!

The lethargy I experience does not come until mid-afternoon (unless I work in the early morning. If I have to work with clients at 5:45am, my 8:00am workouts are either lack luster or I simply don't have the energy, but that also has a lot to do with not being able to eat between Peak Performance at 5:45am and morning training at 8am.) I'd like to train in the mornings when I'm still fresh, before any lethargy kicks in. However, I've found myself sleeping in longer then is allowed for me to have the time to train before the firm.

Speaking of which, it is Christmas Eve morning and I will be going into work at the firm, but it's not by force, the firm isn't doing so well (with the recession and current bank loan processes are undergoing further scrutiny, thus taking longer to come through), so I probably could have opted not to go in, as it was asked of me with much apprehension, but I agreed without much hesitation. My only other plans were to hang out with friends, but people's livelihoods are at stake, which carries the greatest weight.

Okay. Do you want to e-mail me at my work address? We recently did some PRIME-specific trials involving Staley himself and a few of his trainees. Rather interesting!

Interesting...... what's your work e-mail? I'll have to check my AM inbox when I get to work myself.

My crowd is either high school girls (who are sadly very cute) or the non-cougar'esque, not good looking old women. Two no-no's don't make a right :nono:

gotcha, I'll hit you up in a bit :thumbsup:

or you could just go ahead and send it to me. [email protected]

I was maybe 17 when I took on these Volcom screen names, it's an acurse-d SoCal thing, we tend to be very Bro like that. I've wanted to get a more grown SN, but whatever. I have my "professional e-mail address" but that thing collects dust.

Flat Bench
225lbs x 10 reps (at this point, for this particular regiment, 225 is technically a warm up set)
275lbs x 10 reps
295lbs x 8 reps
305lbs x 6 reps

Incline Bench
185lbs x 10 reps
205lbs x 10 reps
225lbs x 6 reps

Heavy Db Flies
60lbs Db's x 10 reps
70lbs Db's x 7.5 reps
70lbs Db's x 6 reps

Hammer Dips [performed to heavily incorporate the lower pecs]
180lbs x 10 reps
210lbs x 10 reps
230lbs x 8 reps

Incline Machine Press
225lbs x 10 reps
240lbs x 8 reps
255lbs x 6 reps

My chest performance felt a bit sub-par today. I hit the same numbers in terms of weight and reps, but the weight felt much heavier then it did last time. I have a bad habit of hitting chest the day after back all the time, and sometimes, as a result of that succession, my strength (and energy) is effected.

I've considered going back to my old chest split. All incline one session and Flat/Decline/Wide the next, switching back & forth. This method of mine of switching back & forth acts like a natural tapering for my chest. If I'm hitting 295+ week after week, my performance tends to be very off or simply spirals into a trend of diminishing performance, whereas, when implementing my incline only days, I can't go above 275 and the rest of the workout as a whole is not as demanding on the CNS or the muscle, but because it's so isolated, it has it's unique benefits. For whatever reason, this old split works for me, so you can imagine my disappointment during those few months where I was not able to perform ANY incline movements (due to a upper pec injury).

Furthermore, this method of mine helps to alleviate monotony. I really don't like doing the same workouts week by week. The starting, major compound movements, I'm okay with being consistent on, but the rest of the workout is usually instinctual. This is one of the main reasons I can't follow a designated program (unless I have a VERY specific goal), but hypertrophy/strength or strength/hypertrophy is still too broad of an objective for me to be on a train track, as oppose to a general freeway.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LUXURY...... OR VANITY
Due to the fitness crazed environment of So Cal and the dense surrounding Cities (not as dense as NY of course, but dense nonetheless and close together) we have gyms in every city and relatively nearby to each other.

This morning, I went to my usual gym, but I just didn't like the vibe, its hard to explain. I warmed up my bench, sat up, looked around and the vibe perpetuated lethargy and apathety, so I drove to the gym a City over and performed my workout. I'm not always this weird, but I've probably done this less then 5 times.

I've actually done cardio at one gym and finished my lifts at another.

Hell, I've done cardio at one gym and did another cardio machine at another, right in succession of each other. These are rare, rare occasions of course, but the option to be so liberal about where to workout is definitely there. Hell, if you had an LA Fitness AND a 24Hr Fitness pass, you could switch between 2 to 3 gyms in one city.

I gave it a read, that was some pretty exciting stuff. I sort of approached my PRIME experience with the same mindset as Charles Staley. I wasn't expecting anything (out of habit, because I've never done "LEGIT" supps, so nothing is ever eye opening effective) and my response to PRIME was quite surprising.

I noticed all of the 6 weeks experiments were prescribed with 6 caps. Do you think I should lower my dosage from 9 to 6 caps? I'm wondering if it's the dosage I'm taking of PRIME that is the root of my lethargy, or if it's CNS fatigue, where dosage would not be the direct root.

Also, perhaps I did not read carefully enough, but was Charles and his "guys" taking 6 caps, 7 days a week? Or the suggested 2 days off?

In case some of you don't know, I'm on 9 caps, 7 days a week.

Lethargy is strong today, I can't get into detail about my workout right now. I'm going to lay back down.
 
Dude I know what you mean about the lethargy. I've taken stuff that has killed me like that. All I wanted to do was sleep, and then when it was finally time for bed, I had insomnia. It was HORRIBLE.

Damn, bro, real sorry to hear this !!! Since when did this happen ?! I remember you mentioned lethargy increasing about a week and a half ago .. 2 weeks into PRIME, I believe .. You think there's a correlation ?! You using ANY pre-workout products, still ?
 
Did anyone know PRIME requires a PCT ?!

.. that's new to me .. WTF ?!

I was suppose to hit back later this afternoon with my workout partner, which is why I did not end my delts session with traps exercises, however, my workout partner flaked.

I haven't felt any gains in strength in a week or so now. I seemed to have made HUGE initial gains, but then I hit a wall of progress. It seems I am always in need of "MORE" rest. At least I didn't get a chance to do my double session today.

Tonight, UFC event at my bud's house. Go Noguiera, Rampage and Evans!
 
Oh good God.. internet drama from the Dark Side..

I see you mentioned me (sorta) in there Viking. I will stand by the product needing no PCT, and Jacob making a typo (not like he's ever done that before, right? :rolleyes:)

EDIT: Actually, I'll edit this post, got a few things to say..

I think Jacob was actually being facetious, tongue-in-cheek, like 'they both need PCT.. oh SNAP wait a minute, your product needs PCT, mine doesn't' sarcastic type of thing..
As for recommending 9 caps: I advised that I took 9 caps, and saw increased effects. I also stated I saw effects at 6/day dosing Viking.. As well, I pointed out to Volcom that the recommended dosing was 5 on/2 off -- NOT 7 days/week.
And to throw that Cissus comment in there -- that wasn't even right dude. You wanted to know what to do for a severe issue that was currently causing you aggravation; my advice was mega-dosing to be proactive. Got a bigger-than-normal problem? Then you need a bigger-than-normal dosage. Pure & simple. Once the issue is alleviated, then you can dial it down. I think I also advised this, and I know for sure I detailed such in my thread (that one that you are currently subscribed to).

Okay.. so other than that, I'll not feed the drama monster.
 
PRIME does not require a P.C.T., Early in 2009 the blood test abstracts will be posted [which display as such], among other things. Case closed, unnecessary childish drama avoided.
 
Strangely enough, I was about to report no lethargy today. I have not experienced a come and go of lethargy, it has been consistently present since week 2 maybe.

What has changed, is that due to the situation of my bottle nearing it's course (but with a 3rd bottle coming in the mail), I dialed down my dosage from 9 caps, to 6 caps, in order to stretch this bottle until my 3rd one gets in via mail. I've had two workouts on the 6 caps a day, which would be about 3 days in this new, tapered dosage.

I don't know if the lowered dosage had any direct effects of my lack of lethargy today, but tomorrow I'll be on the 6 caps as well. I'm expecting my next bottle to be in by Monday or Tuesday, as I had received my shipping notification this past Monday.

My CNS has probably not been exhausted to its limits, as it had been during the first couple of weeks, as my new gains have become standard performance, at which I've been more or less plateaued at, therefore, my current performances are not far reaching or excessive in exertion. That is one of my supplemental theories. Less CNS fatigue.

Yesterday, I did have one of the worst experiences of lethargy, but a lot of it could have been seriously amplified by some personal and current life issues (such as my tightening finances due to my firm's inability to pay me and this particular day I found out this situation will extend for at least 4 weeks, so I'm currently and will be continuing to live off of my credit card in a fissure of debt).

I could name a host of things that could have explained both yesterday's intense lethargy (along with some depression and self loathing) and today's complete lack of lethargy.

The only truly tangible variable was the tapering of my dosage, but we'll see how I fair tomorrow.
 
UFC Spoiler Chat. Don't read if you don't want the results!

Holy eff'n crap.

#1. Go Rampage, I was probably the most emotionally riled up about this fight, because Rampage is my boy. Rodja probably had a heart attack, but man was I thrilled about that decisive KO. Knocked Wanderlei out cold, or I like to say, knocked him into hypothermia.

#2. Mir vs Nog, what the mother fricken hades!! I had a bad feeling since Nog's fight with Tim Sylvia. Nog looked slow, reserved and nowhere near Nog of Pride FC. This fight with Mir looked like Nog's fight with Sylvia, where Sylvia dominated by striking, only Mir actually had knock out power behind his punches. Nog went the distance with Fedor back in Pride, this was not the same guy, IMO.

#3. Wow, Rashad Evans made a fan out of me tonight. I don't like Forrest or Rashad, so of the lesser of two evils, I was rooting for Griffin, however, Rashad won me over with his performance, very impressive!

I really hope Lesnar takes it to Mir, someone please chime in on this one and give me hope!

The biggest fight of all 2008 and going into 2009 will be the GSP v Penn 2. I'm going for BJ all the way, but I'm counting on GSP to win, humbug.
 
So How do you think Prime goes lethargy? My first run of it three months ago, I had no lethargy whatsoever at 6 caps 7 days/week. This time, at the same dosage, I'm noticing it big time. Is it liver stress or CNS exhaustion?

My only guess is CNS fatigue, but lethargy isn't a "common" symptom for PRIME, as far as what people have reported, so it's a big mystery.

I'm going to see how I feel today, and see if the lowered dosage from 9 to 6 caps is the difference for myself.
 
I've been crazy tired myself. I think it's just mental, though. It's been kind of rainy here, and my bed just looks so cozy whenever I step into my room, sometimes I just lay down and end up taking naps all day, only waking up for my meals.

while I did not really experience lethargy I did feel very worn out at times and I am very adamant about getting 7 hours every night, falling asleep around 10 pm. I did not overtrain and was very carefull not to. The extra effort in the gym did take a toll though and I did need to rest up. I was only taking 6 a day and for me that seems wise as I get a longer run and get better recomp. Amazing recomp actually.

How long do you think it would be a good idea to run Prime? Would you still be seeing the same benefits after say 12 weeks or would it make more sense to go 6 or so weeks at a time with a break in between?
 
I used it for 6.5 weeks and found my point of diminishing returns to begin there. I stopped at ~50 days because my gains, while consistent, were not of the substantial nature they were previously. I have heard individuals utilizing PRIME longer, but that would be my suggestion!

I used it for 9 weeks and yes right around the point your said I noticed some slow down. I added Jacked and seemed to get a second wind in weeks 8 and 9. The real nice thing though was the recomp in the latter weeks was very formative. I was actually planning a shorter run at a higher dose untill I experienced this, then when I saw the changes I am in for another long run of about 8 or 9 weeks. Longer run better recomp for me.

I've decided to do my old split Incline Chest Days and Flat/Decline Chest Days, this seems to be the only way to prevent symptoms of overtraining for me, such as diminished performance. My incline days are supposed to be my tapered down days, but this morning... well.. not that tapered.


Incline Chest
225lbs x 10 reps [fairly challenging, but an actual working set on my incline days, not a warm up]
245lbs x 10 reps
275lbs x 10 reps [I was expecting 6. This is the kind of "surprises" I've experienced on numerous occasions while on PRIME. I could have taken it up one more set for a 6-8 range, but this is suppose to be my CNS sparing chest day.]

Incline Hammer Press - Viking Grip
270lbs x 10 reps
360lbs x 8 reps
410lbs x 6 reps

Incline Hammer Press - Standard Grip
180lbs x 10 reps
230lbs x 8 reps
280lbs x 8 reps

Machine, Incline Press
225lbs x 10 reps
240lbs x 10 reps [another surprise]
255lbs x 8 reps


I hadn't done Viking Grip since I returned to being able to perform incline presses, it felt good, it makes the incline hammer press almost feel like a fly motion.

In case you don't know, Viking Grip is something I saw Thomas do in one of his videos, where he gripped the incline hammer press on the outer bars, as opposed to the handles, therefore, it was dubbed, Viking Grip, in honor of his Norse lineage.

LETHARGY
My lethargy has notably diminished, but still noticeably present. I can't say there is a direct correlation between my tapered dosage and the diminished lethargy, but it does seem to be part of the equation "so far." If heavy lethargy returns, then I'll know it was not the tapered dosage.
 
God damn, V, you're incline bench press strength .. it's been soooaring !! That just sounds 'too east' being the fact you get 10 reps with 275 .. I'd love to see ya throw in 315 and get your 3-6 well-deserved reps .. when you planning on this?!

And 410 for 6 reps on Incline Hammer Press with Viking grip [thank you, btw]?! That's a looooad of weight, regardless of grip; and another definite increase in your strength and work out volume.

I'm not sure if you answered before, but are you using any pre-workout products alongside PRIME?
 
Pre PRIME to 4 weeks

Pre PRIME to 4 weeks

This is somewhat of a review, though it's not the end of my run. This is a pre PRIME to 4 weeks comparison and I'll end this log with a 4-6 weeks + comparison and review.

Strength: Rather then being long winded with how I felt about the strength increases, I like to post pre PRIME workous vs Current workouts. However, I will say that my most notable increases in strength occurred during the first 2 weeks. The folllowing 2 weeks, strength increases came quite subtly and rather then having jumps in my opening workouts, most of my most recent increases seemed to effect the middle and end of routine performances.

Pre PRIME Opening Exercise: Flat Bench

Flat Bench
225lbs x 10 reps
275lbs x 10 reps
285lbs x 8 reps
290lbs x 8 reps

vs

Most recent Flat Bench.

Flat Bench

Strongest performance while on PRIME (Day 19)

Flat Bench
225lbs x 10 reps
295lbs x 8 reps
305lbs x 5 reps
315lbs x 4 reps

Pre PRIME Opening Exercise: Lat Pull Downs

Lat Pull Downs - Wide, overhand
230lbs x 10 reps
250lbs x 10 reps
270lbs x 8 reps

vs

Most recent Lat Pull Downs

Lat Pull Downs - Overhand
290lbs x 10 reps
295lbs x 8 reps
300lbs x 8 reps
305lbs x 6 reps [whole extra set due to the performance of the previous set]

This gives an idea of "fresh strength," but it doesn't paint a full picture, as my stamina and overall performance was also greatly effected. The only routine that I have repeated throughout this time, which have remained "the most" non-ambiguous, are the first three exercises of my lat pull down days. This will paint a fuller picture

Pre PRME first three exercises.

Lat Pull Downs - Wide, overhand
230lbs x 10 reps
250lbs x 10 reps
270lbs x 8 reps

Lat Pull Downs - Close, Neutral grip
210lbs x 10 reps
230lbs x 8 reps
250lbs x 6 reps

Lat Pull Downs - Behind The Neck
190lbs x 10 reps
195lbs x 10 reps
200lbs x 8 reps

Most Recent

Lat Pull Downs - Overhand
290lbs x 10 reps
295lbs x 8 reps
300lbs x 8 reps
305lbs x 6 reps

Lat Pull Downs - Underhand
250lbs x 10 reps
255lbs x 8 reps
260lbs x 8 reps
265lbs x 6 reps

Lat Pull Downs - Behind The Neck
190lbs x 10 reps
195lbs x 8 reps
195lbs x 8 reps


Of course this is not SOLELY the work of PRIME. Naturally, neural adaptions occurred along the way which would dramatically effect my strength from a physiological stand point, however, PRIME did expedite the strength gains.

I have yet to exceed my all time strength. I have been this strong and even stronger on most of these lifts before, with the exception of my lat pull downs strength, but I have also never focused on lat pull downs in the past. Quite frankly, I highly neglected any vertical resistance movements due to my utter favoring of horizontal movements. My back workouts used to be all about Dead lifts, BB rows, T-rows, cable rows and a lat pull down closer, maybe. However, ever since I blew my lower back, my only form of back workouts had to come in the form of lat pull downs of numnerous variations (I had to work with what I had).

But again, I've been this strong and stronger in the past. My current chest strength has yet to meet my historic high of 315lbs bench of 6 reps, this includes incline bench, a PR of 315lbs for 6 reps. I'm hoping that weeks 4 through 6+ may bring me to a new horizon of strength, but we shall see.

I've had a positive experience so far in terms of performance. I could do without the lethargy, but as many of you know, the problem is being addressed and slightly resolved with a tapered dosage from 9 caps/7 days to 6 caps.

Thanks Thomas. I was a bit surprised at the 275 for 10 myself, the 245 felt too heavy for a 10 on the next set, I was anticipating 6 reps, but something kicked in. That being said, I damn near gave myself a hernia between reps 9 and 10. It was one of those sets that you find hard seeing yourself pulling off on a consistent basis, but we'll see.

No pre-workouts. I was going to stay solo on PRIME, which is why I've been struggling with adding stims or not to alleviate my recent lethargy.

I did order some Phenadrine, which is suggested at one cap in the morning, but I'm still waiting for the circumstance to "DEMAND" it.
 
I was 213lbs, fully clothed, apart from my shoes, when I weighed myself at the gym last night, which is good. I've been between 211lbs to 215lbs for about 3 months now, but I'm hoping to work my way back down to 200-205lbs. I'm probably the most paranoid person on this board about gaining weight, I tend to assume the worst.

Aesthetically, my delts have made the most pronounced improvements, but nothing alters my physique like cardio and diet. I normally don't expect much aesthetic alterations when I'm not on a solid diet and consistent cardio regiment. My diet is pretty baseline at the moment, not geared to gain or geared to lose, but my cardio has fallen from grace.
 
Second Session Today: Best "Bi's" workout yet

Lethargy was minimal today, sipping on coffee throughout the day was all that was needed.

Tonight was another Brachio emphasized, Bi's day and I hit some great numbers. Honestly, I think feeling Randy as all hell boosted my strength for whatever reason. I was training a softball player today and when she got hot, she kept lifting her shirt (higher then she needed to) in order to cool off and in my efforts to be professional, I tried to avert my eyes whenever she did this, but it caught me off guard on occasion. I was leaking testosterone from my pours! (and I don't mean this as a dirty joke).
