Had a pretty nice leg & shoulder workout today. Went pretty high reps today & the compete definitely helped me push through that. Quads were pumped doing slow rep leg extensions with a negative the last few reps. Vascularity in my delts were still popping when I got home from the gym a half hour later. All & all, happy about today. Here's what my workout looked like.

Forgot to post my Saturday Abs & cardio workout. Had my pre shake of 1 scoop compete & Hemavol, & sipped one scoop compete throughout my workout. Couldn't really notice the effects on pump & vascularity but endurance helped me almost double my usual cardio time. Here's kind of an outline on how the workout went.
3/9 Abs & Cardio
Start time: 10:15
Start weight: 199.3
5 minute jog & stretch
Kneeling cable crunch (70lb)
(SS)
Romanian chair leg raises (30lb DB between feet)
(SS)
Decline Bench twists (35lb plate)
3x20
1 minute front plank
(SS)
30 second each side plank
3 sets
3 minute treadmill jog
15 minute HIIT (30 second sprint/jog intervals)
2 minute cool down walk.
End time: 11:00
End weight: 199.5
This is shock week of my PRRS & I'll be hitting the gym shortly for chest & tris. I have a approximately 10 scoops of both products, so I'll probably use 2 scoops Hemavol from here our to end them at the same time. That way I can judge the effects between 1 & 2 scoops.

Wow.. That's all I can really say right now. If you read my last post, I said I would be dosing Hemavol at 2 scoops & man.. Was that a great idea. The combination of the double dose & supersets/drop sets I did today honestly gave me the best pump I've ever had in the gym. Muscle fullness was out of this world. I could barely wash my hair in the shower. Pump was so intense in both my chest & my triceps. Endurance definitely helped me push through the grueling supersets. Taste was even better with a combo of 3 Lemon Drop scoops. The local county fair lemon shake up is the only thing that comes to mind to compare it to. Absolutely delicious. Anyways, here is a outline of what I did today.

70x15, 80x15 , 90x13

Sup guys? Forgot to post up my workout from yesterday so I'll go ahead & do that now. Just gonna get some fasted LISS in this morning on my off day. Anyways, about yesterday.. Went with 2 scoops Hemavol & 1 scoop Compete pre-workout & 1 scoop Compete intra. Had Back & Bis and it was shock week so supersets and dropsets. The pumps at 2 scoops are ridiculous. The muscles involved get so swollen up and full that it's a love/hate feeling. lol vascularity is the most profound on this day. Doing Incline DB curls is my favorite now just because of the veins. Endurance is definitely contributing to pushing through my workouts day in & day out. Here's a layout of how yesterday's workout went.

Sup guys? Forgot to post my workout earlier. Ran some errands & played some basketball for a few hours. Anyways, getting down to the end of both tubs.. 
sad story.. lol anyways. Hit legs & shoulders today with 2 scoops Hemavol & 1 scoop Compete pre, then another scoop of Compete intra. As stated in the last 2 workouts, this is shock week of PRRS which is kind of taxing on the endurance, but this combo definitely helped me push through that. This is the first high rep let workout I've done in awhile & without this stack, I doubt I could have done it. Leg pumps were pretty brutal. One of those pleasant pains though. Shoulder work was nice as well. Here's how the workout went.

Probably have enough powder to get in 2 more workouts & then I'll post a final review. If any of the iForce guys wanna stop in & let me know where all I should post a final review, that'd be appreciated. Once again, thanks for letting me run this.

Alrighty guys, so this will be my last workout post before I give a final review. I'm officially all out of Hemavol & Compete! (well, the log-provided tubs :haha: ) Have enough for a little less than 2 scoops Hemavol & 1 scoop Compete pre-workout, & then had about a scoop and a quarter Compete! intra. Today was a power chest & tri day of PRRS. The low rep/high weight is definitely taxing on stamina, but not with this combo. Usually when i would go anywhere under 5 reps, I would take 3-5 minutes between reps just to recover. Today, I didn't wait more than about 90 seconds between sets before i felt recovered & wanting to hit another set. Pump has always been prominent with this combo, no matter what weight & rep range I was hitting. Vascularity is always there as well. Anyways, here's a layout of my last workout with the iForce stack!

Hemavol & Compete! Final Review:
So today marked my last servings of this iForce sponsored log. In this review, I will be covering all aspects of these products, along with an honest numbered score on its effectiveness. I will start by explaining about each product first, & then kind of score them together.
So let's start with the Hemavol. When I first joined this board about 6 months ago, I read through about every thread that I could, & I remember that any thread I clicked on that was related to pre-workouts, Hemavol was always mentioned. So when i came across this promo & a chance to log it, I checked out the profile & it seemed pretty promising. The thing that sparked my interest the most was that it was a non-stim pre & prior to this, I had yet to have tried one. Also, I had never tried a product with GMS in it as well. The thing that I liked the most about Hemavol was it wasn't proprietary blend & it had ingredients that I had used in bulk that i enjoyed (Citrulline Malate, Agmatine, Niacin, B12)
Next, for Compete, the only intra supplement i've used prior was Bulk unflavored BCAA's & a few workouts with Fruit Punch Modern BCAA. The most interesting thing about the Compete was the fact that instead of BCAA's, iForce decided to use whey hydrolysate. Also, the 2 different forms of L-Carnitine & electrolyte formula was very intriguing. I also like the addition of Citrulline Malate in addition to the Hemavol content.
Taste: 9.5/10
For my stack, I received both tubs of Lemon Drop. I have always been a fan of lemon(ade) flavored drinks, but had yet to have a lemon flavored supplement, so I didn't really know what to expect. Let me just say, the pre-workout shake of 1 scoop Hemavol & 1 scoop Compete was hands down the best pre drink I've ever tasted. I honestly looked forward to drinking this every day just for the taste. My initial thought was that it tasted like a lemon shake-up from the county fair, & i continued to think that until the end. The intra shake was just as good, just not as profound of a taste because it was only 1 scoop. I would refill my shaker bottle up at about 1/3 way empty & it still tasted good being even more watered down. I followed a few other logs of this where people had different flavors, but i decided to re-order lemon drop of both. Too good to pass up!
Vascularity: 8/10
I actually really enjoyed this aspect of these products, mainly from the Hemavol. During this log, I saw veins I had never seen before, even during a bulking stage, mostly in my delts, a few in my legs & even more on my forearms. The best thing about this part was that the veins were popping all day long, no matter if it was an on or off day. I had several people eye me heavy in the gym when curling & what not, probably thought I was on the juice. lol
Rest Between Sets: 9/10
This combo alone helped me cut down to about half of the rest between set times I had previously had to use before running these. Not only did this help in between sets, but it cut down my overall workout time. That alone would make me run this again because I hate sitting there trying to recover. I'm already an impatient person so that does not help.
Endurance: 10/10
Probably my favorite effect of these products. When I got the the gym each day, I never wanted to leave. I added more reps and more sets almost every work out, just because I didn't get tired nearly as fast as I did before. This not only helped me do more reps, but it actually helped me bust through a few plateaus, which i would assume was because of the added sets.
During DOMs: 8/10 Next Day DOMs: 5/10
As I stated with the rest between sets, this combo definitely helped me recover faster. No matter if it was a warm-up set at the beginning of my workout or the last set at the end of my workout, I always felt like it was the first set. It was kind of crazy. I was obviously pretty wore out by the end but this helped me push harder through workouts than ever. The reason I gave the next day DOMs a 5 is because I honestly didn't see a difference from before I used this. I was pretty much sore the day after a workout, no matter which group.
All in all, this was an amazing run. I would highly recommend this combo, or each product on it's own, to anybody looking to push further in their workouts than they ever have before. I ordered more of both of these products before I even finished my log. iForce has definitely added a customer from this, & I want to thank VaughnTrue & the entire team again for the awesome opportunity to run their products.
