How to Condense the AminOD muscles (sponsored)

[lukehayd]

Hahaha that's unfortunate buddy. On the other hand if your going over 5 minutes that's your own fault

Lol! Yeah. I was always told that women are like horses. You don't just take them out of the stable and get them on a dead run right away. You have to start with the walk then the trot to get things warmed up properly before you can get into the run. The walk from the stables to the track is the fore-play part. I never even got out of the trot! Lmbo!

Still have some chest congestion today but able to do more without getting winded so easily. We'll see how it goes at the gym today. I'll probably be the douchebag that's coughing all the time. On the bright side, it might make it easier to get equipment since nobody will want to be around me.

Had an awesome back/shoulders day yesterday! Energy was really kickin' from the Condense more than normal. I was starting to think I was going to have to up the dose because I was getting used to it -- not yesterday! I'm sure that the weather change (warm-up!!) was part of it but I was already feeling good and ready to lift before I even took the Condense. Then the Condense kicked in and it was definitely GO TIME!

BB rows: 1x10, 4x5
Upward face pulls: 6x10
Low pulley 1 arm cable rows: 5x10, 1x3, 1x2 (P.R. of 190 lbs!)
Pullbacks: 5x10
DB raises (front then side): 5x10

Have you tried two scoops yet?

 

[lukehayd]

Yep Aaron, sure did! Been thinking about adding in a half scoop of custard creme D-pol prior. I don't think that should be too much of the Nitratean™

Day 4 in the books. As stated above, 2 scoops really was a big improvement from 1 scoop on the Condense. Veins were popping out in arms and shoulders as I worked my chest again. I even overheard a couple teen boys saying that I had to be on roids the way my veins were sticking out! LOL!! It was just perfect timing that they said that right in the break of songs on my mp3 otherwise I wouldn't have been able to chuckle at it. While 2 scoops was awesome in the gym, about 3-3 1/2 hours later, I was starting to crash pretty bad. Not completely sure if that was because of the Condense or just that I was really tired from being out in the cold and some added stress from some other stuff. I think I will back the dose down to 1 1/2 scoops and see how that goes.

Chest:
Flat bench: 1x10, 3x5, 1x3, 1x5, 2x15
High pulley crossovers down to hip: 5x10
Low pulley crossovers up past shoulder: 5x10
DB flies (flat): 3x10, 2x5
Dips (BW): 4x10, 1x8*

*Tendinitis in right elbow started to flare up pretty bad and about made my arm buckle at the top of rep #8. Decided to call it quits for the day and go home and ice it.

Definitely not too much. That combo has completely replaced my morning coffee. 1 scoop Dpol, 1 scoop apple condense, 1 scoop AminOD and 1 bronkaid= breakfast of Champions lol

 

[lukehayd]

Well, I will try it Thursday then as tomorrow is an off day from the gym. Might go ahead and give it a go with splitting firewood and loading it in my truck. Hell of a workout there!

 

[AaronJP1]

Don't do half a scoop, do the full scoop. I think the one scoop of each d-pol & condense should be enough.

Had a pretty good leg day yesterday. Energy was good but for some reason, they had the gym a little on the chilly side (worse than normal). It was actually warmer outside (got up to 72!!!) than it was in the gym! Had one of the "hover" dudes on my squats just standing there waiting for me to get done. Kinda pissed me off because when I would get done with a set and go to add more weight, I could see him get a disgusted look on his face and roll his eyes in the mirror. I just kept on doing my thing. I only worked up to 315 lbs and I saw him laughing with his buddy when I put the weight on. They stopped laughing when I started to rep it for full reps. I guess it didn't compute to them that even though I am shorter than them, I'm still bigger than they are! Sorry, I'm ranting a bit. Anyways, here's the routine.

Plate loaded squat press machine: 2x20, 2x10, 1x5
Good mornings: 5x10
ATG squats: 2x10, 3x5, 2x8, 1x10
Calf press: 2x20,3x15

And just because I wanted a good stretch on my shoulders/abs, I did 5x10 DB pullovers.

 

[lukehayd]

So yesterday I tried doing 1 scoop of D-Pol and 1 scoop of Condense. The custard creme and the mellon do not mix well imo. It was not a pleasant taste but at least it was only in 8 oz of water and easily chugged. I then mixed 1 1/2 scoops of the AminOD and 1/2 scoop of the Condense for my intra drink and went to the gym. Was not feeling the greatest but I wasn't going to miss a lifting session over a little headache. Halfway into my lifting, my headache started to really throb but I kept going. Then, about 3/4 of the way done, my eyes were pounding right along with my head. I don't think that the nitrates were probably the best thing for a headache. The pump and vascularity were rather nice though.

Chest:

Flat bench: 1x15, 2x10, 1x5, 1,4, 1x20, 1x15
DB flies: 5x5
Low pulley cable crossovers: 5x10
High pulley cable crossovers: 5x10
High pulley double cable flies: 5x5
And that is as far as I got when I finally had to say enough with the headache. It was NOT caused by the D-pol/ Condense mix or either of the two, I had it prior to dosing them. I do however believe that the nitrates in the two products and the straining that I was doing make the headache worse.

Quick update: stacking D-Pol and Condense pre and AminOD and Condense intra on an arm day is insane!!! My arms are so freakin' pumped my skin my start to burst! Had to cut sets down to only 3×5s instead of 5×10s because the pump was just that intense! DADDY LIKES!!

Now that's some stacking I can get behind.

 

[Airborne42]

Hmm I may try this. Usually I take 2 scoops PWO of condense but u may take 1 pwo and 1 intra for sustained even energy. Condense kicks in 10 mins for me tops

 

[AaronJP1]

Yup so you definitely respond.

:bigok:

 

[lukehayd]

It is definitely better not to mix the Condense and the D-Pol in the same bottle at the same time! I have been dosing the D-Pol about 15 minutes prior to the Condense and the Condense 15 prior to lifting. That seems to be the right timing for me right now as it all seems to kick in in a cascading manner that way. It's more of a gradual build up and not a hit in the teeth with a sledgehammer. If that makes sense. LOL! Yesterday was leg day and it was going pretty good other than the amount of people in the gym at that time. We got our hours at work bumped up to 10/day so now I get to the gym around 4:45- 5 pm. when everybody else seems to get there. It was a little difficult to keep any kind of pump in the legs going when I was having to wait for equipment. I was the pacer yesterday! Had to cut it all short due to my knee "popping" on my last working set of leg extensions. I thought I would just tough it out but the more I tried to do reps, the worse it hurt. Regretfully I unloaded the machine and left. Went home and iced it for a while and then put some absorbine on it. Woke up today, put some more absobine on and came to work. Seems to be feeling fine with no problems so that is good news!

Hit at the teeth with a, sledgehammer now that would suck.

Lol! It was meant to be a metaphor for how some PREs hit you. Hard, fast and leave you hurting. I've had some that just flat hit hard and fast but then don't last, made me crash bad and left me feeling sick. I'm glad that most of those were samples that I tried.

 

[lukehayd]

Scraping the bottom of both tubs. I think I might have enough for one more scoop of AminOD and a few more of the Condense. The AminOD is so tasty that it was very difficult to just have it as an intra to make it last with the Condense. I think the flavoring of the Condense could be a little stronger but it's not bad the way it is. I've gotten some PRs while using these two products and gotten back to where I was before my tendinitis in my right arm kicked my butt in a few lifts. My bench isn't what it was yet but it's getting there quickly. :bigok:

I'll go ahead and post up my final review since I don't think my opinions on the two products is going to change.

CONDENSE

Mixability: 10/10 I had not problems with it not mixing completely just by shaking in a water bottle.
Taste: 7/10 It has a decent taste. I would have liked it to be a bit stronger on the melon flavor but for a PRE, it's not too bad. It mixes well with other flavors but not the Custard Creme D-Pol. Lol
Smell: 10/10 Smells like a watermelon jolly rancher!
Energy: 8/10 Dosing it with a double dose was very reminiscent of the DMAA days but not quite as good, that's why I only gave it an 8. It worked best for me to dose it at 1 1/2 scoops pre and then mix 1/2 scoop in with the AminOD intra. That kept me going good and steady.
Pump: 6/10 While at first it was really good, I adapted to it rather quickly and the pumps weren't what they were at the beginning. Adding in some D-Pol prior to lifting remedied that and made the pumps painful which was nice!
Vascularity: 6/10 Pretty much the same as with the pump.

AminOD

Mixablity: 10/10 Mixed great with very little effort.
Taste: 10/10 Taste was very good!!
Smell: 10/10 Smelled as good as it tasted
Recovery: 8/10 Still had some minor DOMS after some days but for the most part, my muscles felt more or less just tired and not sore. When not using an intra or post amino supplement, I can really tell the difference with the DOMS and the recovery time.


Now for the real question: Would I recommend either of these products to someone? And the answer to that is YES, I already have and would again!

Thanks for the log and review brother. Glad you enjoyed condense. You gotta mix the apple condense with Dpol if you wanna go that route. If you still have some dpol around I've got some apple condense samples I can send you. Hit me with your Addy and I'll get them out to you asap if you'd like to try it. It'll only cost you a bow hunt on one of those big muleys or white tails you got running around there lol

While it is tempting to try the apple condense, the cost of it is a little steep for what I would be getting out of it.

I do however have a buddy that runs a guide service that would be glad to take you out for a big whitetail.

Thank you and the whole PURUS team for allowing me to run another log of great products for you guys!

Final review of AminOD is up and then copy and pasted to the second post of this log.

Haha fine. I'll let you try it for free then I'm making a trip to the post office today to mail out some sample packs if you'd like hit me with your Addy and I'll get them out bud.
