Ms_Mac's MyoSynergy Log

First off thanks so much to the boys at EvoMuse for giving an old white woman a chance to log this product. ;). I am so excited to try this. I (like most women) have a hard time gaining some muscle size so I am hoping this will help.

A little about my workout\diet protocol:

I am currently running a GVT program found here:

Invalid Link Removed

So my split goes as follows:

Mon - Back, Bi's and abs, 20 min cardio
Tues - Cardio only - LSD run
Wed - Chest, Shoulders and Tri's, 20 min cardio
Thurs - Cardio only - sprints or tempo run
Fri - Legs, 20 min cardio
Sat and Sun - rest

I am currently eating at maintenance and am planning a mini cut beginning end of May (going to Vegas mid Aug). Maintenance for me is around 2000 cals. Macros I don't really pay too much attention to, but I make sure to get at least 130 grams of protein per day. The rest just falls where it may. I weighed as of Fri - 128lbs.

Supplements:

Ripped Freak pre w\o
Vitamin C - 2 grams per day
Biotin - 6 grams per day
Niacin - 1 gram per day
Vitamin D - 6 grams per day
Calcium - 3 grams per day

I may not continue with the pre w\o now that I have MyoSynergy. Would like to try this stand alone first before I add anything with it.

I train first thing in the morning, empty stomach, so MyoSynergy will be taken without food. Hoping this will not be an issue.

So without further ado - I took my first dose this morning even though today is a rest day. Nothing to report as of yet. I took it at 10 am and I usually have my first meal around 11. No issues so far.

There you have it, folks. If there is anything else I am missing or anything that anyone would like to see added, let me know.

Looking forward to this party.:)

Welcome.:)

So I popped all 8 caps about 45 min pre workout. Todays workout was Back, Bi and Abs:

Rack pulls - 155lbs
5*10
3*7
1*6
1*5

BB Curl - 50lbs
3*10
1*8
1*6
2*8
1*5
2*6

Decline Sit ups - 3*15
Oblique weighted side crunch 35lbs - 3*10

Cardio - 10 min on the stairmaster and 10 min on the crossramp.

I had a body fat analysis done at the gym this morning. I will have this done again at the end of my MyoSynergy run. Results:

WEIGHT - 128.6LBS
WEIGHT OF LEAN BODY MASS - 116.36LBS
WEIGHT OF BODY FAT - 12.24LBS
PERCENTAGE OF BODY FAT - 9.5%

This was done using the electronic impedance measure. I realize these things are not very accurate but it does give something to measure against.

As far as MyoSynergy - I have noticed over the last 2 days I have been extremely thirsty. I usually have a hard time getting in 3 litres of water daily. Yesterday I had at least 4...probably closer to 4 1\2 litres. Today I have had 3 1\2 litres and still drinking so I am guessing I will have another litre or so. I have also had a slight decrease in appetite. Could be just coincidence but I thought I'd note it anyway.
 
Day 3 April 29th 2014

Just a cardio day today. The weather here is still freezing so I have been running on the treadmill. LSD run today - 6.75 miles in 1 hour. This is my longest run in almost a year....I have been battling some injuries that hopefully have subsided. Anyway, I really felt great....felt like I could have kept going. last week I ran 6 miles and was pretty damn glad when I was done. This week - feeling awesome. MyoSynergy perhaps??
 
Day 4 and Day 5 April 30th and May 1st 2014

Wed workout - Chest, Shoulders and Tri's:

Cardio - 20 min stepmill

3.5 miles total - 31:09

A couple of things:
- thirsty all the time
- appetite slightly decreased
- endurance seems to be better than normal
- veins popping during\after yesterday's workout.:)

Thats about all I have noticed so far, but its still early days. Most of the other loggers have noticed an increase in DOMS....I have not had that effect. Not sure if that is a bad sign or not. Tommorrow is leg day and I always have major DOMS a day or 2 later, so interested to see what happens...
 
I'm following.. Love that there's a bunch of people starting MyoSynergy around the same time!

Thanks for stopping by.:)

Today was leg day:

9*10

SLDL - 100lbs
3*10
4*8

DB Calf Raise - 50lbs each hand

cardio - 20 min treadmill 8%, 4mph

I take weekends off from training but dosing won't change - all 8 caps first thing in the morning. I have been reading other threads and some are splitting the dose - 4 am, and 4 pm before bed. Is there a benefit to dosing that way on off days?

Fri is typically a weigh in day - if I choose to. Today I did and was surprised to see 126.2....interesting...

Notes:

-weight is dropping even though I am at maintenance.
-endurance elevated especially during cardio

Thoughts? Any of you done this before?
 
Day 13 May 9th 2014

Legs today:

Cardio - 10 min stairmaster

Squats - 95lbs

2*20 - toes straight
2*15 - toes in
2*12 - toes out

125.2 lbs this morning - down about 3 lbs since the start of this log. Food intake has not changed, no additional cardio....this is interesting to me, since I am pretty sure that weight loss is not supposed to happen. Could be just a fluke, but worth mentioning.

I am still dosing all 8 caps first thing pre workout. I know some loggers are splitting the dose - 1\2 pre workout, 1\2 pre bed. Any benefit to doing that?
 
Day 16 May 12th 2014

Back, Bi's and Abs today:

BB Row - 80lbs
10*10

10*10

5K - 2*12

Nothing new to report. Yesterday being Mothers Day, was a nutritional disaster. A gazillion calories consumed. Meh, not sweating it....back to regularly scheduled programming today. This week's weigh in should be interesting.

LOL!! I certainly enjoyed it, thats for sure. Wishing I'd had some Defuse left though. Although I was feeling good this morning, no bloat or sluggishness from all the junkie stuff.


Run day today - 7 miles in 63 minutes....felt great!

Was wondering if you were going to make an appearance.;) Welcome!

Yesterday's workout was total crap. Wasn't feeling it and was weak sauce.:(

Bench - 89lbs
2*10
1*9
1*8
1*7
1*8
1*7
1*6
2*5

OHP - 50lbs

OH DB Ext - 25lbs

Cardio - 20 min Crossramp

Today - Sprint day:

ran 5 - 1\4 mile sprints at 9mph and 1 -1\4 mile sprint at 9.5mph

Total miles - 3.5
31 min.

Noticed something out of the ordinary this morning when I woke up. My tri's are sore! I can't remember ever having sore tri's before......good sign??
 
Day 20 and 21 - May 16th and 17th 2014

Yesterday was leg day:

Cardio - 20 min treadmill, Incline 8%, 4mph

Squats - 111lbs
3*10
2*8
3*6
1*5
1*3

HS Leg Curl - 55lbs
10*10

DB Calf Raise - 50lbs
6*20

Today and tomorrow are rest days.:)

Week 3 update:
-thirst is at an all time high, easily drinking a gallon+ of liquids
-no increase in appetite...still slightly decreased, never really hungry, but never really full either....if that makes sense.
-I had not had any increase in DOMS ......until a few days ago. Did Tri's on Wed.....Thurs they were very sore and tender. And almost immediately following leg training yesterday, I could feel pain setting in.:) Got progressively worse as the day went by, today much worse.....but in a good way..:)
-weight is down from the beginning - started at 128 and as of yesterday 125....
-significant increase in endurance, especially cardio.
-muscles are looking full and hard..

Still dosing the full 8 caps pre w\o. On rest days pre breakfast. Any reason to split the dose as some loggers are doing?

So far, I am really enjoying this product. I think this could be a staple year round...bulk, cut, recomp or maintenance.:) Any reason why this would need to be cycled?
 
Day 23 May 19th 2014

Back, Bi's and Abs today:

No cardio

BB Row - 85lbs
10*10

BB Curl - 50lbs

Russian Twists with a 10lb plate
3*12 either side

Crunches with a 20 sec hold at the top
3*20

Not too shabby.:)
 
Somehow I missed this, great log so far. FWIW I did not see the type of Doms everyone else talks about yet. Increased, but not exponentially. Biggest changes for me are endurance, leaning effect, and full muscle bellies.

I did not notice any change in DOMS until about the 3 week mark. But it is not unbearable like some are reporting. I agree on the endurance and leaning effects though...definitely happening here.:)

Yesterday -
Cardio Day::::

LSD run on the treadmill - 7.5 miles in 65 min...speeds from 6.7-7.8mph. Running a half marathon in Aug - I better get the hell outside for my runs soon. Kinda scared to hit the pavement - still nursing a quad injury from last year. Treadmill running I do okay, but hard surfaces seem to aggravate it. But I better start soon....even a couple of miles to start would be ok..

Today-
Chest, shoulders and Tris today. Was not feeling GVT so I winged it today:

I always train in these babies:

Been wearing this brand for 4 years.....tried to run in a couple of other brands, but no dice. These are the bomb! Pricey but so worth it.

Today was sprints day:

6 - 1\4 mile intervals at 9.5mph

Total mileage - 3.5 miles in 30 min.

Tomorrow I am having the first of a 2 part minor surgery, so no gym.Invalid Link Removed Means I didn't train legs this week...Invalid Link Removed I guess the 2 hard runs this week will have to suffice. Then on to something new on Monday. Was going to take a 1 week break but I am feeling okay, so I'll ride it out. Was also going to start a cut next week too. Not feeling that, either.Invalid Link Removed

Asics Gel-Nimbus is a great shoe. Should provide protection if you're doing a lot of pavement running.
 
Day 27 and 28 May 23rd and 24th 2014

Fri, Sat and Sun rest days:

Week 4 update:
-thirst is still high

-weight is down from the beginning - started at 128 and as of Fri - at the 27 day mark 124.8
-significant increase in endurance, especially cardio.

I have Vibrams that I sometimes lift in, but I really don't like them. I need a good cushy shoe.:)
 
Day 30 May 26th 2014

So I decided not start a hard cut phase - I figure I have about a weeks worth of Myosynergy left so I may wait until this run is over then cut.....or not.;) We shall see. Not really feeling like dieting at all at this point.

Day 36 June 1st 2014

Sundays are normally a rest day, but my 6 yr old wanted to go hit the trail for a bike ride. So I ran while he biked. Just a small 5K but it felt good to get outside running instead of the treadmill. No hip or quad pain afterwards so thats a good sign.

I have 2 days worth of Myosynergy left, so will give a final review Wed.:)

Awesome workout! I feel like I am just hitting my stride after 4 weeks of Myosynergy. Loving the cumulative effects on strength and endurance. The bad news is I only have 1 day left. I will be placing an order for more but there will be a break in between bottles. Hoping strength and endurance don't slide back...
 
Final Review

First off a big thanks to all the boys at EvoMuse for selecting this old white lady to log this product.:) I had high expectations for this as all other EvoMuse products that I have used, I have loved. So without further ado here we go:

-just to note that I dosed all 8 caps at once pre workout, empty stomach.
-first few weeks I was extremely thirsty. Easily drank a gallon or more of water daily. Toward the end of the run, this seemed to level off where I was satisfied with about 21\2 to 3 litres.
-no increase in appetite at all. At the start appetite was actually slightly diminished. Also should note that I did not change cals\macros throughout the log.
-No increase in DOMS until a couple of weeks in, but nothing that was unbearable. This last week DOMS back to normal.....weird?
-weight is down from the beginning - started at 128 and as of today after 38 days weight is 122. Pretty sure this was not supposed to happen?
-significant increase in endurance, especially cardio. Rest between sets was minimal - usually I need a at least 60 secs..
-muscles are looking full and hard, veins popping everywhere.

If there is anything that I have missed or anything that needs clarified let me know. I had BF testing done at the beginning of this log, and I will have another done this Fri. Will add to this review with those results. Can't wait to see the numbers.

This will absolutely be a staple in my arsenal. I was in a maintenance phase for this cycle, but I can't wait to try this in the fall when I start a full on bulk again. I think with increased calories this product will really shine.....based on this cycle I think fat gains would be minimal, and muscle gains will absolutely be optimized.:) I am going to stay at maintenance , maybe a slight cut for the summer....will be placing an order this week.:)
 
Awesome log! Interested in those final numbers as well.

I think with increased calories this product will really shine.....based on this cycle I think fat gains would be minimal, and muscle gains will absolutely be optimized.:) I am going to stay at maintenance , maybe a slight cut for the summer....will be placing an order this week.:)

BF testing done today:

START:
WEIGHT - 128.6LBS
WEIGHT OF LEAN BODY MASS - 116.36LBS
WEIGHT OF BODY FAT - 12.24LBS
PERCENTAGE OF BODY FAT - 9.5%

END:
WEIGHT - 124.4LBS
WEIGHT OF LEAN BODY MASS - 113.75
WEIGHT OF BODY FAT - 10.65LBS
PERCENTAGE OF BODY FAT - 8.6%

So there you have it folks. Keep in mind that these numbers are based on my eating at caloric maintenance. Interested to see what would happen in a surplus. Order has been placed for more. I will be doing a slight cut from Mid June til Mid Aug, then will do a bulk from mid Aug til probably around next April - Mayish. This will definitely be a staple for me:)
