:firedevil: Watermelon White Flood Log! :firedevil: ​

Invalid Link Removed​

OK, so I'm gonna be logging my experiences with the NEW watermelon White flood ( with nitrates) during my "slow and steady" style cut. I'm aiming for about 1-1.5lbs weight loss per week.I'm also going to be running my staple supps as well as some other CL goodies to throw in the mix.

The plan is to have WF give me the proper energy & pumps to keep my workouts on-point through my weight loss goal. I'm going to comment on initial thoughts on flavor, pump, and energy/focus as well as long-term drinkability and performance enhancement.

Controlled Labs Products:

  • -White Flood *thanks RenegadeRows!
  • -Reduction PM shots -out of pocket
  • -Orange Oximega kit- " " "
  • - Purple Wraath grape- " " "

Staples:
* not sure which creatine yet

**as time goes on I'll be adding EC and/or Lean Xtreme

Stats:

Age:27
weight: 246 lbs
Goal weight: 225 (giving myself 18 weeks total)
Current Bf%: 18% roughly






**going to add diet, workout, and initial review later today/tomorrow.

Day ~2~ 6/20​


trained Back

Trying to improve forearm developement and grip strength so I've been using Fatgripz on any and every exercise that I feel helps. I use straps after my grip is shot.

So I stuck with 1 scoop of WF for today and hit back and once again, the flavor was on-point so I had no trouble gulping it down. Was up late studying last night so the I definitely welcomed any energy boost from the WF. As for the pumps, I noticed 'em coming hard after the second set of warm-ups and each exercise after that filled their appropriate muscle group effortlessly. :) However, I did feel my lower back get a little too pumped during deads but there's nothing I can really do about that... Energy was good in the gym, nothing too crazy but I got thru my sets no problem. Still haven't decided when I'm going to try 2 scoops :sgrin:

Warmup-

Hammer Strength Lat Pull Down- 3x 12-20

Working sets-

Deadlift- 4 sets 10,8,6,4 reps

Bent Over BB Rows- 4 sets 12,10,8,6 (underhand grip w/ fatgripz)

One-arm DB rows- 3 sets 10,8,6 (first two sets w/ fatgripz, last set w/ straps)

Straight-arm Lateral Pull-downs w/ rope- 3sets 10-12 reps

Close-grip Upright rows- 4sets 10,8,6,4

Supp Layout:

White Flood: 1 scoop in 8oz water 30min before warm-up set

Purple Wraath: 2 scoops in 32oz water sipped on from beginning to end of workout

Reduction PM shot: 1 shot 30 min before last meal of the day

Orange Oximega kit: 2 fish oils with lunch and 1 scoop of greens with either preworkout meal or post workout meal.
 
Powercage gave me some great advice regarding nitrate absorption so I thought it would be good to share...

Powercage-"Tips to enhance nitrate absorption: Swish WF around in your mouth ~35-40 minutes or so preworkout. Allow the bacteria in your mouth time to work on the nitrates to get the most out of the product. Also make sure not to use toothpaste/mouthwash within 4 hours prior to WF use (or within 45 minutes after use). My personal preference, once I have the stim tolerance (don’t start at this level), is 1.5 scoops 40 min PWO and .5 scoop mixed in with my intra."

Thanks again. I'm gonna try swishing it around this time and definitely gonna try that other dosing protocol next week.

The swishing actually seems to provide better pump. I took that advice and wouldn't drink it any other way. Also helps to get more of that watermelon goodness

I agree 100%! If it didn't taste awesome, I wouldn't be tempted to swish it.
 
I haven't "swished" yet, but am eager to try!

I'm not surprised Powercage recommended "swishing" .....
Next he'll be telling us to floss after Golden Gains for increased protein uptake!! :D

I kid, I kid!

trained arms*

So yesterday I tried swishing it around before each sip, made sure I was on an empty stomach, and took it 40min preworkout as per Powercage's suggestion and I'm pretty sure it made a difference with the pump quality. Didn't really think it could get better but my arms were seriously blown up! I noticed the skin around the bicep and tricep was red and stretched (awesome feeling)! Went to class with arms still looking all swoled up haha :arms:

*I don't really train arms this time of the week but my gym partner bailed on me and I didn't wanna waste my WF so I just did some arms and cardio. gonna have to do legs next to let my arms heal up.

Notes: I've been weak spot training my outer bicep/tricep area since my natural form form favors the inner arm muscles.

Warmup-

Hammer Curls w/ fatgripz- alternating hand position to Reverse Curls halfway thru- 20 reps 2 sets

Working sets-

Close-Grip Bench Press- 4 sets 10,10,8,8 reps

Straight Bar Curls- 4 sets 10,10,8,6 (w/ fatgripz)

Flat Bar Tricep Push-downs- 3 sets 10,8,6 (w/ fatgripz)

Reverse-Grip Cable Pull-downs (single hand)- 3sets 8-10 reps

EZ Bar (inner grip) Curls- 3 sets 10,8,6

*ABs- Upper- 50 crunches X2 Twisting crunches 50/ X2

Supp Layout:

White Flood: 1 scoop in 8oz water 40min before warm-up set swishing each sip

Purple Wraath: 2 scoops in 32oz water sipped on from beginning to end of workout

Reduction PM shot: 1 shot 30 min before last meal of the day

Orange Oximega kit: 2 fish oils with lunch and 1 scoop of greens with either preworkout meal or post workout meal.

Thanks! Going all out in this one. Trying to get back in that hardcore lifestyle.


Some info I pulled earlier thought it was good :

Beetroot juice has been shown to lower blood pressure and thus help prevent cardiovascular problems. Research published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension showed drinking 500 ml of beetroot juice led to a reduction in blood pressure within one hour. The reduction was more pronounced after three to four hours, and was measurable up to 24 hours after drinking the juice. The effect is attributed to the high nitrate content of the beetroot. The study correlated high nitrate concentrations in the blood following ingestion of the beetroot juice and the drop in blood pressure. Dietary nitrate, such as that found in the beetroot, is thought to be a source for the biological messenger nitric oxide, which is used by the endothelium to signal smooth muscle, triggering it to relax. This induces vasodilation and increased blood flow.[3]

Update: considering switch to the Leangains diet

One pre-workout meal

This is the most common setup for my younger clients that are still in college or have flexible working hours.

Sample setup

12-1 PM or around lunch/noon: Pre-workout meal. Approximately 20-25% of daily total calorie intake.
3-4 PM: Training should happen a few hours after the pre-workout meal.
4-5 PM: Post-workout meal (largest meal).
8-9 PM: Last meal before the fast.

What do you guys think?

Nice log so far, subd in. How's the flavor on the H2Omelon? I did a container of white raspberry, and compared it to a nice fruity shampoo. I really liked the results of white flood, more so than NOexplode and jack3d. I also like that it doesnt have creatine which opens the door for better supplementation. Good Luck

Thanks for the sub!

I've only really sampled the two flavors of the new formula: fruit punch and watermelon. The watermelon is honestly the best tasting preworkout I've tried to date. Closest thing I can compare it to is a watermelon Jollyrancher but in my personal opinion it tastes better than the candy. I'm typically not a fan of artificially sweetened drinks so for me to say it's drinkable on a daily basis, is quite remarkable.

Looking forward to comparing the before and after pics of your cycle!

Chest/Calves/Cardio :smite:

Killed chest yesterday! Had good focus and 1 scoop is still giving me enough energy so no need to bump the dose yet. Still not going to start Hiit cardio, plan to wait a couple weeks so I can better adjust my cals.

I'm also starting the LEANGAINS style of eating. I'll be using the One pre-workout meal approach since my time for the gym is usually 2:45-3:15.

Sample setup

12-1 PM or around lunch/noon: Pre-workout meal. Approximately 20-25% of daily total calorie intake.
3-4 PM: Training should happen a few hours after the pre-workout meal.
4-5 PM: Post-workout meal (largest meal).
8-9 PM: Last meal before the fast.

I'm going with a 25%/50%/25% split for my macros. Will post meals up soon.

Warmup-

Hammer Strength Incline Bench Press 4x 10-12 (increasing weight each set)

Working sets-

Bench Press- 4 sets 10,8,6,4 reps

That's crazy your still on 1 scoop, that's amazing and a really good sign. This product has basically been a homerun for you so far :)

Yeah, I think I found my new stim-based preworkout to alternate with Ultima! :thumbsup: All others so far have been one-time buys...

One question, can you disclose how much caffeine there is per scoop?

No I cannot :)

It did not change from the old version, though.

OK, ok...how about an over/under? is it under 150mg per scoop? Just wanna gauge my daily caffeine intake.

EDIT: Nevermind I have a general idea from some old posts I found.

Bro, you got me craving some h2omelon flood ahhhh!

Back :smite:

Did pretty good despite the fact it was so damn packed yesterday. Some buttholes were hogging the cables so I couldn't do my SA pull-downs. I did notice that it took a little more effort to fall asleep and I had to fully expose my back otherwise i would feel pretty warm... I think the PM shots are kickin' in! Once asleep I had no issues so no complaints here.

*White Flood is still proving to be effective. I noticed some improved mind/muscle connection going on with some of my exercises and in return I was getting really nice form. Pumps were on point once again and the flavor is still rockin' my tastebuds.

Warmup-

Hammer Strength Lat Pull Down- 3x 20-12 *Working sets-

Deadlift- 4 sets 10,8,6,4 reps

One-arm DB rows- 3 sets 10,8,6 (first two sets w/ fatgripz, last set w/ straps) *

Bent Over BB Rows- 4 sets 12,10,8,6 (underhand grip w/ fatgripz)

Close-grip Upright rows- 4sets 10,8,6,4

I was going to do Legs today but didn't get enough sleep last night so I'm taking the day off to rest up.

The LeanGains diet is feeling good so far muscles feel exceptionally full all day today :)

gonna weigh my self monday to see where I'm at since the diet change.

~7/7~​

Chest/Calves

So after weighing myself today (7/8) I'm down 10lbs which is more than expected but not crazy considering how much stricter my diet has gotten. Strength
on my first exercise was down a little, I think it's cause of the long break+ dieting. Also, I had no spotter so I had to change up my workout a little... Well my summer semester is over next week so I have nothing to get in the way of my goals after that.

Working sets-

Incline Hammer Strength Press- 4 sets 10,8,6,4 reps

Weighted Dips- 4 sets 10,8,6,6 (+30lbs)

Cable Crossover Flys- 3 sets 12,10,8,8

Calves-

Still haven't bumped up the dose, one scoop seems like my sweet spot. :) I've been adding a gram of LCLT and about 5g of instantized BCAAs to my WF to see how well the Watermelon covers up strong tasting bulk powders. So far nothing I put in has overpowered the watermelony goodness!

Will update when I get back. Just letting everyone know Lake George is amazing right now! Fish aren't exactly jumpin' but the women are hehe ;)
 
Ok, back from my trip. Time to get back on the ball!!

I didn't go crazy with my diet but I didn't eat unhealthy. Just a lot of eggs, steak, and seafood with some potatoes and salad here and there. Did a bunch of rowing, swimming and bodyweight exercises to keep any fat gain away. Going to eat regular today then it's back to the Lean Gains method.

I did bring my tub of White Flood with me just for the hell of it and ended up using it before my swim/rowing cardio sessions. The extra energy definitely helped me when I was rowing against the wind haha I intentionally let myself drift away with the wind so I'd have to struggle to get back to camp ( I hate cardio). I used 1.5 scoops for these days. I noticed my energy levels skyrocketed with the increased dose and I was sweating up a storm on the lake. I don't think I'll use 1.5 for the gym as I think being overly stimmed would hurt my lifts and the effect of 1 scoop is still noticeable to me.
