I've got to admit that as a single solo more or less natural supplement I haven't had anything quite give the pumps and apparently strength gains as the APS Creatine Nitrate.

People doubt until they actually try it and then become believers :D

Creatine Nitrate is the REAL DEAL

I'll pour some salt on it :D I told everyone so!!! :D lol

I love Creatine Nitrate, for the people who havn't tried it they all keep saying it's the CEE, but in all honesty once you try Creatine Nitrate you know there is no comparison!
 
196 today
Deadlift 225*10 275*10*4 could have done more but I had over caffeinated and heart was racing
Hammer flat press 180*10 230*4 stop due to shoulder pain 180*6*6
Incline db fly 55*6*6-45*10
Triceps pushdown 150*15*10*5 was funny that I dropped by 5 each time, all,sets were to failure
Military press 115*10*6*4 95*6*5
Hack squats 180*15*12*12
Hammer preacher curls 60*12*11*8 5-6 second negatives, full extension to straight arms
Seated leg curls 95*10*10*10 easy, but I've strained my hams too many times do I'm cautious

The upper body pump was extreme today, so was my sweating

good workout-hopefully you will get the strength gains i got from creatine nitrate-should be noticeable around day 14.
 
It's really hard to gauge strength gains with full body as I'm basically wiped out all the time. But I think I'm seeing some.

a good sign that strength gains are happening are increased doms. around day 14 when strength gains started happening i got some really bad doms, fortunately they went away quickly-increasing intra bcaa's/eaa's seemed to help.
 
197 today

decline hammer press 180*10-270*12-320*4-270*6-180*8
hammer preacher curl 70x12x12x12
incline fly 60x7x8x8
tricep pushdown - 160x14x13
single arm db press 60x7x6-50x7 both arms at same time 50x6
hammer pullover machine 230x15-270x9-230x8

and done, already was running late so skipped legs, i'll do them tomorrow
 
Ah crap. Just found out that the bodybuilding show I was considering in August has only 1 weight class for Men Over 40. I'm a little concerned still that i'll be on the pretty small side relatively speaking for my height - guessing between what i'll put on between now + then plus what I need to lose fatwise i'd come in between 180-185 at 5'9.5". The Open category is broken into a few groups, but then i'd be up against all the young whipper snappers ;)
 
197 today legs only this morning

single leg legpress 270x10x10-360x8 - wow I thought I was going to blow out a blood vessel on these
legpress calf raise 360x20x20
seated leg curl 110x12-125x12x12
leg extension 240x8x8x8

and done. barely could walk out even after stretching my quads were so tight and pumped. veins all over my shins + calves. Its funny, i'm happy about any amount of vascularity above the waist, vascularity below the waist grosses me out.
 
slept relatively like crap last night, I think i'm going to have to work on paring down my caffeine intake during the day.

incline hammer press 180x12-230x5-180x7-140x9
upright row (using cable machine) 100x12-110x12x14
seated row 160x12x12x11
flat db fly - 55x7 and almost lost it from shoulder pain 40x12x10

tri-set - reverse curls/curls/rope pushdown all on cable machine - 80x10/100x10/140x10 70x10/110x10/140x11 70x9/110x11/140x14

and that was enough. bicep pump was awesome after that
 
todays workout felt extra long

incline hammer press 180x10-230x6-180x7-140x9
hammer shoulder press (weight is per side) 45x10-55x10-65x9-75x9
hammer pullovers 180x10-270x8-230x7-180x9
single leg press superset with single leg calf raise 180x10/180x10-270x10/270x8 - 270x9/both legs for calves 270x20
reverse cable bicep curl superset with rope pushdown superset with bicep cable curl superset with rope pushdown 70x18/160x9/110x14/160x7 70x10/140x10/120x10/140x9 70x12/140x8/130x8/140x6

bis + tris felt pretty good walking out of the gym :) the pump was really incredible. I was pretty surprised to be even cable curling 130 so relatively easily at the end of the workout.
 
tried something a bit different for workout, made it shorter but really intense. Basically doing my normal workout, and each exercise followed with less than 30 seconds rest attempt to hit 30 reps with a lower weight. skipped legs/bis/tris as I was wiped out

(on smiths its just plate weight)
smith incline press 140x12-180x5-140x10x9-90x28
smith behind back military press 50x12-60x12-70x10x9-50x26
cable fly 40x15x12x10 20x29
hammer high row 180x12x12x11 90x30

and wheeew pump was crazy and I was beat. I may go to doing a more conventional split and do the 30 rep followups/burnouts after each, that felt good.

Interesting idea. I'm willing to bet that pump was crazy! Those high reps seem to really pump you up with the CN. My chest was flat out swollen after doing cable flies last night.
 
yeah, it was definitely crazy, and part of why I didn't feel like working bis/tris, as they were both pretty pumped too.

I left out that for no real particular reason i've only had about 30-40g carbs in the last 48 hours, which also didn't really help my endurance any :)
 
thebigt said:
did you give up on full body workouts?
Click to expand...

not yet. I had planned on full body today (yesterday had meetings at my daughters school so couldn't work out) but didn't have the energy to do legs after what I did this morning, and bis/tris were wiped out already too. I may just do legs tomorrow and see if I can manage to pull off full body with this sort of structure friday.
 
Its definitely good stuff. I may drop back to only taking it workout days, and dropping to 4 or 5 caps preworkout (and none post) just to see how it goes. I can fill in the off days with creatine mono which I have a kilo of or hmm I think I also have some bulk tricreatine malate. I'm already pretty broke right now from taxes, and then heading into the summer I go extra broke. vacation after school ends, electric bill doubles for air conditioning and the 6 year old has to go to some sort of day care/camp while she's out of school. So I doubt i'll be buying much of anything through the next 4-5 months. Wish I woulda picked up some of that bulk CN the few days it was available :D

yeah, i thought that bulk cn was too good to be true-so i didn't mess with it. no matter though i am working tons of ot and the aps cn lasts a long time, so it is really a good value for what you get.
 
Yeah, normally I wouldn't care but right now i'm like $3000 behind between taxes + other stuff, which I can just barely catch back up on right in time for summer vacation to go back in the hole again. Normally at this time of year i'd be $3000 ahead and feel free to spend on whatever I want (which invariable too much would be on the kids birthdays, all in april + may)
 
**** forgot to log down yesterday's and todays workouts till just now

yesterday legs + short bi/tri

today all the rest
incline db press 70x12 80x9 90x4 70x10 40x16 (was shooting for 30 but just couldnt)
cable machine fly (used the goofy cable machine not the normal one so the weights are goofy) 12x12x10 29 at lower weight

A little ;) no I'm just so broke I have to figure how to stretch it. I might have a little spare $ for supplements in may, then not again till September. Sucks for sure

lol-box factories are miserably hot in the summer, but that is our busiest time-go figure. always have a ton of ot in summer.:yup: money money money.
 
this morning I ended up taking 6 creatine nitrates and 2 ALRI primed ultra. Worked nice

cable machine flys 50x12 60x12x11x9 20x31
hammer decline press 180x12 230x5 180x9x7
smith seated behind head military press (just plate weight) 70x12x12 100x9 50x15
pinwheel db curls superset with v handle tricep pushdown 50x12/160x12 50x12/160x13

and I forgot to do back Doh! stopped at an organic grocery on the way home, bought a gallon of raw cows milk ($10) and some organic eggs, natural minimally processed bacon and organic supersharp cheese. All of which made for an awesome breakfast, but probably cost what eating out would have.

Do yo really think there's an advantage to taking CN on non training days vs. mono? I ask because I've done that with Ancient Strength on training day and mono on non days for the last year. It's worked nicely for me. I've been considering doing it with my CN too.

I hear you on the tax pain Easy. :( Ugh!
 
was 201 today

wide grip pulldown 160x10x10x10
hack squat 180x10-270x10-360x4 (almost blew a blood vessel on this, had a horrible headache) 270x10 90x30
db curl 55x5x5
ez bar curl (was hoping for 30 reps) 70x9 whew, my bis were worn after the db curls
seated leg curls 110x15 125x12

and that was enough. my quads are still tight and sore 6 hours later.
 
202 today

cable machine flys 60x12 70x10x7 60x9 30x21
incline reverse fly 25x15x12x11
incline hammer press 180x12x7 140x9 50x16 (was shooting for 30)
hammer pullover 230x12x7 180x10x7
preacher curl superset with ez bar triceps extension 70x15/70x12 70x13/70x11 70x10/70x10

and I had a great pump after that, felt fantastic walking out.

I havn't tried mixing the mono and CN but I'm really not a fan of Mono, bloats me like crazy!!

What I plan on trying in the next couple months in CN pre-workout and Nos Ether post-workout and Nos Ether on non-training days.

The Nos Ether has Kre-Alkalyn and Magnesium Creatine Chelate, I seem to react better to thsoe then Mono.
 
I had been talking about trying the vpx power shock, and my wife agreed to buying a tub. So now I've got that as an intra with nitrates as well to work in. Funny she didn't want me to spend $ on the 7ke or mesomorph but was ok with this :dunno:

LOL. Never question female logic. It's dangerous. :firedevil:

I just ordered some "Creapure" from PP to try as my non training creatine. Mono doesn't bloat me horribly anyway but it does bloat me. Figured I'd try it it's cheap enough. If it's no different than anything else I've used I'll call BS on all the hype over it. :D

Nope! Luckily I have plenty of beef isolate here anyhow that I wasn't using because it tastes like crap. But I never was a fan of the quick post workout sugar loaded shake anyhow

dude my whey

24g pur whey iisolate
1g carb
0 fat


yum?!
 
Yeah, for a while I was using the ON platinum hydrowhey, but ran out, so now i'm down to a little dymatize elite which is pretty low carb, or the beef. Luckily, the beef isolate is bad enough to make me make sure I get in plenty of protein from solid foods so I don't have to drink it :D
 
Looks like this is my last update in this log, as my bottle of 7ke came for a sponsored log! So i'll be starting a new one. Woke up at 202 today and managed to skip legs at the gym

cable slight decline fly 40x10 60x12 70x10x7 60x10 20x30
hammer iso shoulder press 45x10 70x12 80x8 90x8 100x8x6 25x30
seated row 165x15 190x12x9x6
incline hammer press 180x11x7 140x9x8

and that was it, bicep tendons felt a little wishy washy so didn't work bis, triceps were pretty pumped and it was late so I skipped legs.

Heres an end of log picture

for comparison, although a different pose, here I was at 189 or so mid feb

Invalid Link Removed

So i've pretty well tacked on the pounds with next to no fat
 
wow man sweet gains, i remember some of your starting pictures. huge progress over time. Do you like the fasting thing that is becoming so popular here?
 
Well, I sort of naturally do intermittent fasting as my first meal of 3 is at 830 am and my last at 630 pm. I did try alternate day fasting for a while and although it was difficult it did work nicely for fat loss

If you know of datbtrue, his forum has many advocates of fasting for body composition and overall health.

Either way, good progress!
 
There are lots of benefits healthwise, plus with full alternate day fasting is the fun of stuffing down 2 days of calories on your eat days
 
glucuronolactone has 2 basic functions. It adds some amount of energy, as well as softening the crash that usually comes along with caffeine and other stims. Its added to some of the energy drinks. It plus rhodiola was one of the reasons I really liked Sobe's sugar free Adrenaline Rush, but they stopped selling it. The only thing I don't like about alpha fury is that with 300mg of caffeine thats a bit on the high side. Not a crazy level, but if it was 200 i'd be happier.
