NOTE: IF you are reading this log for information on Pink Magic, please do not skip this section.
I was actually happy with it as it was. The only thing I changed was I did the cable cross overs before the push downs and hammer curls set, my bis and tris needed a minute lol.
Alright I was going to do this update last night, but I wanted to sleep on it. I was on a bit of a high and didn't want to come off saying to much, but **** it, credit where credit is due.
I was begining to doubt the Pink Magic. I read an article by Anthony Roberts, calling out the main ingredient, and even though Anthony Roberts advice is considered a waste of time, it made me start making second guesses. Was the slight gains I was making placebo? Have I convinced myself that this product works so much so that I push myself harder and give it credit. These were all things I was begining to ponder about.
Last night due to a timing issue I had taken my midday dose and my preworkout dose together. For those unfamiliar The dosing is 2 in AM 2 Midday and 2 Before Bed, with an additional 2 pre workout. So Yesterday 1 hour pre workout I had 4. You might consider this not ideal, but I beg to differ, and will now always combine those two doses.
I was ALIVE at the gym yesterday. I am quite sure I have never in my life had such a good workout. This was not placebo, this was more then anything placebo could have done for me. I was smashing weight and moving to the next lift. I carry a higher then ideal bf% and vascularity is not really something I am used to, but my veins were showing their struggle to keep my muscles going. My stregnth was definitely showing an increase. My muscles were significantly harder by the time I had left. I often come to the gym and crush it, today I dropped a nuclear bomb on it. If this is a sign of things to come I can't wait to keep going. I left the gym wishing I could have just been there all night.
USP, I can't believe I doubted.
haha started at night, you couldn't wait, lovely!
It only gets better:fing02:
im glad you posted this, I started my first bottle four days ago, due to work i took 6/ for the firtst two days without even lifting,then yesterday am i took four with pslin before i hit back and bis and OH MAAAAN i couldent belive it, I didnt wanna say that it was something that it wasnt and buy into a "placebo" effect but, max wieght alternating dumbell curls for me did EASY three extra reps for TWO extra sets and that was just the beginning, sooo glad i picked this up and gave it a chance!!
My thoughts exactly! This is about the time I sent the first email to Jacob asking him what was this "Pink stuff"...
Please make sure your hands and feet are inside the vehicle at all times, and GET READY for the ride my friend!
Looking good bro USP labs puts out high quality supps no doubt about it.
Yea but I miss the sleep as well, these two supplements would make for one amazing stack.
Does anyone know if PM will be back in stock on Nutra? Maybe we can team up and make it happen.
+1 on the PM/HGHpro stack. That would be epic.
Yeah, I have the retail (option 3 IC) on the way. I bought 1, then noticed I put Alabama as my state instead of AE....and ordered again with the proper address....then sent an email about the first one. I got charged twice and notified of one shipment, and both say shipped on the site. Not sure if I am getting two in one box or what, I got charged twice and just figured I'd wait and see before I contact CS. And I won the PM contest, so I will have a good supply![]()
That would be a pretty good stack. I love the companies coming together for promo stacks![]()
AI and USPlabs would make a great combo.
your ramping up the weight when doing the 3x5 / 5x5 right? or are you doing a straight set?
Ah I gotcha heres what I mean tho. Ill try to explain it the best I can.ramping up the weight, should I be doing them straight?
As in it looks like this:
Set 1: x
Set 2: x +5
Set 3: x +10
Set 4: x +15
Set 5: x +20
Occasionally, If I went higher then I should have it will be
Set 1: x
Set 2: x +5
Set 3: x +10
Set 4: x +10
Set 5: x +5
But I aim for the first scenario as best as I can. If I feel I can hit a PR easily, I go for it, and will stay strait for the remaining sets. For example rather then go +15, Ill go +20 for the remaining two sets.
Ah I gotcha heres what I mean tho. Ill try to explain it the best I can.
We'll use 5x5 for example. Say your 5 rep max that you will be attempting is 315 this week. example set would look like this
315 x 5
270 x 5
230 x 5
195 x 5
160 x 5
-each set, the weight increased by 15%. obviously some number come out odd like 267.75 so you can round up or down. Stick with 10-15% tho. 10 being low 15 being extreme. I like 10% for like OHP / BP and 12.5-15% on DL / Squats
Straight set would be like this...
315 x 5
315 x 5
315 x 5
etc...
well do a couple warm ups but the working sets are all the same weight and reps.
Yeah np manConsider it implemented, again thank you very much for your insight.
EDIT: P.S. Couldn't Rep you, but you have been the biggest help, thanks alot man.
Yeah np man
dont worry bout reps lol as long as Im not red it doesnt matter :lol:
Ya me too, lot of people know where they want to get but dont have a plan to get there. Kinda like leaving on a road trip w/o a map, youll get there but who knows when.De-repping now :tongue2:
JK
Seriously though, great info in here. I love reading this crap. Makes me smart. Pretty sure I could out train a few personal trainers with the knowledge I;ve gleened in a few short months here.

not bashing trainers but ones Ive met are stupid as fukc, or atleast they dont practice what they preach.
Update on last night at the gym:
Well I was back to the Upper Power day.
I was not feeling the gym today. For whatever reason I have been a bit lethargic, (getting over it today), and even the AGST didn't get me going. I probably should have double dosed yesterday. I think the Pink is still showing its true colors since even though I felt pretty ****ty going into the gym and throughout my workout, I hit multiple PRs.
Bench: +5 for two sets!
Bar row: +15 (To be honest on this, however, I will consider it a +5, because I easily could have done more on my last upper power day which I am using as a base)
Military: +5
Shrugs: +20 for two sets (same not as Bar Row, I will consider this more of a +10)
Did some circuit work after completion of those core lifts, but they didn't go as good, those first lifts killed me.
So crazy that on such a bad day I hit 4 PRs, and I can't really explain it. Like I said I didn't "feel" the gym yesterday, but somehow killed it. Good stuff.
Back to Lower Power tonight.
LOL awesome!! I wish Bally's was close to me.Oh God, I am sure your gym can't possibly be as bad as Bally's. The female trainers are not terrible, but they are only really doing weight loss type programs. The male trainers show someone how to use a machine, then flirt with every chick in the area. The worst is when it is a client, who spends the entire session flirting back with them.
LOL awesome!! I wish Bally's was close to me.
my gym is like a wannabe health club lulzuke:
If you see the crap the trainers do at Lifetime Fitness I go to, you would probably lose it. The whole flirt with the trainer crap is out of hand and the amount of work done is epic fail. I had to correct someone in front of one of the trainers so she would not hurt herself; trainer was too busy talking to someone else she knew. You should have seen the look I gave the trainer... let's just say she stays clear of me now. :AR15firing:

Yea but I am still jealous of your membership, that place is a god damn 10 star resort.
The one that I am going to move to here shortly is one of their Athletic Clubs, very few in the country actually, and it is really as nice as any country club I have been too. The pool at the AC one is like something you would see at some swank hotel in Miami or LA; I s*** you not it makes me want to hang out there on the weekends just to see what shows up. I will say that paying that much for a place to workout is kind of ridiculous but Houston is crazy packed with people and I don't like waiting 5 minutes for each machine when I workout so that is how I justify it.
Sounds nice, when are they coming to Iraq![]()

-Machine Curl 3x8-12 supersetted with
-Machine Dips 3x8-12
Yeah for the 3 x 8-12 bb'ing routine keep it straight sets, either up the weights and get inside your rep limit or keep the weight the same and max out the reps.
for bigger exercsies like CGBP, I do a couple of warm up sets.
Main idea for the super sets and stuff is youre not going to failure, I mean if your set is 8-15 for example and you got 8 and arent sure if you'll be able to get 10, stop. do you super set and try it again. 1min - 30secs between sets n stuff
for the PL'ing aspect take up to 5mins between sets, main aspect is to get the full 5
LolYour the man. :box:
might want to switch CGBP to Decline - to much ROM for shoulers on CG / flat bench.Watch those joints bro.

Another good workout. Even days when i don't increase the weight as much as I would like, I just feel really good in the gym. Im busting ass and it is really starting to show. The pink also seemed to push alittle more vascularity during my pump then I am used to. Strength is increasing well in some lifts.
+5 DB Shoulder Press
+5 DB One Arm Row
+5 Failed Set on Arnold Press, so I went back down.
+10 DB Shrugs (In reality, I should have done this weight last week)
..and as Geek pointed out when typing out this routine, I didn't have the energy for T-Bar this week. It was definitely a "my body is telling me to go home" moment, so I headed out.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, TO ANYONE WHO READ THAT I AM RETARDED.
