Do you get your protein from costco? I sometimes get mine there when i get caught off gauard and run out of protein. its damn cheap

The doctors office that I work for has kosher protein for me. All natural protein isolate. Costs more then costco but it's clinically tested.

Just more protein. Other than that same diet.

To mean I don't believe in a true lean true bulk. I believe you can gain muscle with out gaining fat. I time my carbs right.
Muscle glycogen is the athlete’s storage form of carbohydrate and the primary fuel that powers intense exercise. A number of studies have demonstrated that intense resistance training can significantly decrease muscle glycogen stores, much more severely than previously suspected. If you restrict your carbohydrate intake (as most bodybuilders do), you run a real risk of training constantly on carb-depleted muscles.
Weight training with low muscle glycogen levels means weak muscles decreased force production, and significantly reduced strength. Muscle glycogen stores govern weight lifting performance, and the ability to train intensely day-in, day-out. Glycogen-full muscles means greater work capacity and greater intensity and this adds up to a more powerful growth stimulus.
Bodybuilders need carbohydrates to train intensely, build muscle and get shredded. However, to obtain optimal muscle glycogen stores, a high carbohydrate diet is not required nor recommended. The answer is carbohydrate timing. The intake of the right carbohydrates at just the right time results in more effective muscle glycogen accumulation, better recovery and a more potent muscle growth stimulus.
A lot of bodybuilders do not understand that the strategic consumption of carbohydrates just before and after intense training not only determines the success of today’s workout, but also the glycogen levels that fuel tomorrow’s workout.
The total amount of glycogen synthesized in muscle over a 24-hour period is directly correlated to the timing of carbohydrate ingestion after a workout. If carbohydrates are not consumed in the workout period, zero muscle glycogen synthesis and an empty fuel tank for tomorrow’s workout is the result. Whereas a few strategic servings of an easily absorbed carbohydrate consumed close to training will guarantee a high glycogen synthesis rate and glycogen-filled muscles to power cellular growth.
Don’t underestimate the importance of carb timing for triggering glycogen synthesis after a workout. Not only is a bodybuilders total work capacity correlated directly to the amount of glucose/glycogen held within muscle, the process of glycogen accumulation triggers an immediate “cell volumizing” effect, a potent anabolic response. The right carbohydrate timing strategy will amplify the anabolic stimulus of resistance training.
The research on carbohydrate intake and weight lifting shows that the consumption of a carbohydrate supplement just before (or during) an intense workout can save valuable muscle glycogen stores from complete depletion, as well as enhance total lifting capacity during the workout. While training without using a carb supplement before weight training results in muscle carb depletion, and poor weight training performance, supplementing just before or during training, results in only a decrease in muscle glycogen content and more weight lifted, for more reps in every working set!
A carbohydrate supplement consumed immediately before or after weight training is shown to directly affect the hormonal response. Taken before training, a carb supplement will maintain blood sugar levels, and restore insulin levels. The presence of insulin is vital for stimulating muscle protein synthesis rates. A carb supplement taken immediately after training increases insulin concentration while decreasing 3-methylhistidine and urea nitrogen excretion (all examples of reduced muscle breakdown).
Consuming a carbohydrate supplement after resistance training also enhances the growth hormone response and reduces circulating cortisol concentrations.[21,22] Cortisol is the number one glucocorticoids hormone that is responsible for muscle breakdown. Carb timing stops cortisol elevation dead in its tracks.
The benefits are as clear as night and day, and the strategy is remarkably simple. Be sure to consume a dose of carbohydrates just before and immediately after your training session, it will enhance work capacity and the hormonal anabolic response from weight training.

Today was freaking great. I will post tomorrow when I have my papers with me.
I felt great at the gym. My focus was there. I went nice and slow and did not rush my sets. I am really liking the focus xt product.Not sure about the dosages as its in a blend but so far even with what it comes with I feel great.

Yesterday.
Squatted 160lbs 11reps next week I will get to 20 reps
Seated leg curls 80lbs 6 reps 3 reps 3 reps
Seated calve rises 100lbs 10 reps. 5 seconds to go down 15 seconds static contraction
Spider curls 75lbs 6 reps 3 reps 3 reps
Rope Hammer curls 108lbs 9 reps 6 reps 3 reps
Been stressed today and yesterday. My patients have been calling me getting all mad. I sent out a email blast to 3000 patients and some are on a program that the Doctor created and some are not but for me to manually figure that out is more work so I sent out a generic email and the patients that it did not pertain to are calling me upset and confused. They go bolistic even after I explained to them to disregard it. Crazy people.
Today I ran 1.10 beat my time by .01
My powder has about 8 days left as I went over the scooper by few % each time. Not a big deal.
I felt awesome yesterday. No tingles though.

Oh. I have been stressed as I have officially been fired from work. Thanks for the positive words. I think focus xt is a great stand alone product and even like I saw in some thread a foundation and adding a few other ingredients to it.
Tomorrow I hit it hard as usual.

So I am done with the focus xt and rapped up the caps of BA and Creatine. Its hard to tell if I did loose focus or not but I push hard at the gym every time. My workout partner did tell me I hit it very hard Wed and friday. I will post tomorrow when I am infront of my papers.
I will also post pictures monday. Of my final self.

So I conclude my log.
I did military press with 115lbs at 8 reps 4 reps 3 reps
Incline press at 145lbs 10 rpes 5 reps 6 reps
Ez bar tricep extention 65lbs 10 reps 5 reps 5 reps
Hammer strength Pull downs 160lbs 10 reps 6 reps 6 reps
rack dead lifts 315lbs 8 reps.
As far as taste goes its not a bad taste. I normally just stick to orange or lime but this was not bad.
My focus from Focus XT on a scale of 1-11 was 8. I tend to talk time to time at the gym but Compared to not taking it I think my focus was better.
Strength from the BA and Creatine 1-11 was 8. I did not feel any tingling from BA inbetween sets I hit it heavy but as far as getting in a extra rep type of thing from BA was not there. So ether it was underdosed for me or something but as far as the creatine was I did hit it hard. Is it any better than regular MONO. Not sure. I have not used mono in a good 3 -4 months.
Over all I do recommend this stack. I think focus xt is a great start with any nootropics and could be used with products like alpha gpc,Oxiracetam, gaba etc but over all up and up on this product.
BA I would have to double the caps and see if that helps but as I am out of the caps I can not.
Creatine mag seems to be logical way to taking creatine.
I like the simplicity with the two products.
I will have pictures tonight.
