1/7 - Monday
Today is the first day on Versa - 1. Took it 30 min pre workout as the label says. not sure whats in it because this is the beta testing bottle so i cant tell you guys anything lol
Back
BB Row - 1 warmup set of 135 x 6 185x10 205x10 225x7
Lat Pulldown - 160x8 145x10 130x12 - for these, i really try not to sway back. focus is on form. go as far up with it as i can then pull with my back coming down and let the bar come as close to my chest as possible.
T Bar Row (on the hammer strength machine) - 90x8 80x10 70x12. really try to pull up and make it hit my chest almost and squeeze my shoulder blades
Rope Pull - I use the tricep rope extension on the cable crossover machine at the highest setting and pull it. kinda like a high row
50x15 57.5x12 65x10 - i ended with 3 drop sets each for 10 reps with 3 second negatives

well, the only thing that i noticed different compared to using everything without versa 1 was the pump in my arms and i didnt even do any isolated arm movements. vascularity was down a little bit but the temp here has been colder

Apples to oranges, IMO, man. Much smoother energy and BIG pumps. I take 2 scoops about 3pm and usually have no issues being asleep by 9pm.
Not the case for me when I'd do more than 1 scoop OG Jack3d. That was for the double headers for college ball and when you wanted to party when you got back from a road trip and stay out until 4am lol.
Both serve their purpose ;-)

1/8 - Tuesday
Today i hit chest. this was probably the best workout i have had in a long time. walked in and was ready to go. not sure if thats the versa 1 focus effect or placebo effect but something was there. Also hit a few PRs!!!!!!! I have taken Prime in past before and loved it so this is no surprise, but the surprise it its only been about a week and my strength gains are flying up.
Chest
BB Bench
135x10 - warmup. really slow, held at the bottom to get a solid stretch
225x8 - wanted to start at the same weight as last time to gauge where i was at and how it felt compared to last week
250x7 - PR - last week - 245x5 - up 5 pounds and did 3 more reps (7)
260x4 - PR - last week - 255x4 - up 5 pounds, same reps (4)
DB Incline
90x10 - PR - last week - 90x8 - same weight but 2 more reps
80x10 - last week - 80x10
70x12 - last week - 70x12
Machine Decline
3 sets 15,13,11 with 5 second negatives - no weight change
Machine Incline
3 sets 12,10,8 all drop sets - no weight change
Machine Seated Flys
2 sets. 15,10 - no weight change. Did a static hold on my final set for 9 seconds to end on a solid stretch
Today was great as you can see. I will keep BB bench and DB incline in my routine as my first 2 lifts but i may change the machine work up a bit throughout the log. I dont log those numbers b/c i do different things (drop sets,super sets, DC style..etc) but i will tell you what i did with each one like i have been doing. Back is not sore today so I may be changing an accessory lift next monday and see what results i get and how i feel a day after. i love being sore, although i realize the lack of soreness does not mean nothing is happening.
My preworkout supplements:
Prime - 4 caps
Compound 20 - 2 caps
DAA - 1.5g
G Fuel - 1 scoop
Creapure - about 3g
Beta Alanine - 1 scoop
Swoll N - 3 caps
Versa 1 - 1 cap
im really surprised my DB incline numbers were up a bit after going pretty heavy (for me at least) on BB bench. Im usually shot after my first lift because i have the most energy and go the hardest on that lift. I will weigh in on Thursday. Diet hasnt changed.

How cool would it be if PES gave you a free bottle to log with all of your free stuff you got. (BIG HINT PES

Perhaps a future nutra stack.. I'm excited for the pes pre bc I'm assuming it will be different / synergistic with alphamine

I've added extra caffeine and ALCAR to my pre workout dosing (with Versa-1). I'd suggest that if you have it on hand. Workouts are amazing.

the only thing designed to be pre workout that i have is G Fuel and agmatiine. looking to get jack3d micro in a trade or sponsored or wait for PES Enhanced. Natty would probably hook me up if i log

1/10 - Thursday
Today I did legs. Am not allowed to go heavy yet. i did lower reps on a few things, but i did negatives when i went low reps. numbers arent impressive, but with my back, its all i can do for now till its 100%. I really like the focus. it doesnt blow me away, but i def notice it. may be that my pre workout isnt that strong. looking to get something stronger maybe. especially since my G Fuel is running out. would love if USP hooked me up with some! ;D
Legs
Sumo Deadlifts
135 warmup - 10 reps
185x10
205x8
225x6
Front Squats - did negatives on these
135x12
155x10
175x8
Also did some lower leg work, all drop sets. Did 4 sets of lunges with drop sets of hammy pulls. First time ive really done legs in a while b/c my chiropractor hasnt allowed it in some time. felt good.
Tomorrow I will blast arms. I will try to do the same lifts as last Friday so we can compare. I will also weigh in. I feel larger and more lean, but we will see.

I'm pretty sure you didn't miss the IC deal man. I know they extended the sale because of the initial server issues, and it still looks active when I go to the site.
