I had a good pump going after the supersets. It was stronger than the last few weeks when performing the same exercises. This is most likely from the combination of ABE and Agmatine (from TPwder). However, I haven't had the greatest results with "pumps" when dosing Agmatine alone in the past. The majority of my training isn't geared towards it either.
I had 2 caps of ABE with my post workout shake (1.5 scoops Muscle Milk Graham Cracker/1 scoop Trutein Choc PB/1.5 cups ground oats) on my ride home.

Day 5
I woke up with 2 scoops of FP Alphamine and a cap of EP. I was pretty hungry at first, but the Alphamine completely took the feeling away. At this point I'm confident that its suppressing my appetite. Since I didn't have to be at work, I waited a couple hours before having my breakfast/pre workout meal.
I had 2 caps of ABE and 2 scoops of TPowder with my meal. I decided to go ahead and start dosing X-Gels today as well. I took 20 gels with 2 Tums, as I need to pick up some calcium and had them on hand. 3 scoops of GlyerGrow were poured directly in my mouth and chased with some CF Focus XT. I popped 2 Black Cats, which I forgot I had, for an additional energy kick as well.
I skipped my morning Cissus/Orange Triad and stopped fish oil altogether.
After tasting Alphamine, TPwder, and CF Focus XT I'm wondering if I really do like fruit punch. I'm surprisingly pleased with the flavor of all 3. FP CF Focus XT was delicious. It was a richer, more "classic" tasting flavor, compared to the other 2 supps. It reminded me of the fruit punch I used to get at the snack bars of hockey rinks when I was a kid.
Today's workout will be back focused. I curious how I'll do with deads because I skipped them 2 weeks in a row after tweaking my back at work.

I had a great workout overall. The combo of CF Focus XT and Black Cats had me extremely focused which lead to an outstanding mind-muscle connection.

I was sweating like crazy after the high rep deads. I basically looked like I went swimming. The girl working the front desk asked me "what happened?".
I didn't notice any immediate effects from the X-Gels, such as increased pump. I rarely achieve much of one while working back so that would've been a decent accomplishment.
I had 2 caps of ABE with my post workout shake (2.5 scoops RVC Protean/1.5 cups ground oats). This was my first taste of RVC and I was impressed. It doesn't top XF UP 2.0 Mint Choc though, which I'm currently addicted to.
I haven't eaten since my shake and will have a scoop of Alphamine shortly. My last 2 ABE caps of the day will be dosed with dinner.

This stuff makes me sweat like crazy. Yesterdays off day I took the morning dose right before work. It wasn't even that hot there but I immediately had to jump in to a high stress situation and was drenched in 10 mins. One of my coworkers said dude why the hell are you sweating like that. I said cause I'm focking alpha you got a problem! Then I explained to him I was on the best fat burner on the market!

Day 5
I'm not feeling very good this morning. I woke up in the middle of the the night with a massive headache which is still going strong. I had 2 scoops of RL Alphamine and a cap of EP which actually seemed to dull the headache slightly. Hopefully I'm not getting sick. I have a feeling I'm going to be working a really long day and the afternoon dose of Alphamine is going to be needed to keep me going. Less than 5 hours sleep is no good.
I weighed 212.2lbs (+4.8lbs overall) this morning. I believe the large increase is due to the lack of (physical) work this week which has me holding some water. Despite what is shown on the scale, my appearance is still looking fairly lean. Muscle fullness and vascularity have both started to increase as well. I'll credit this to the combination of ABE and EP.
I had a really tough time finishing my breakfast. It was a battle to get down all 1600 calories which is usually pretty easy. My first 2 caps of ABE were taken with my meal and the remaining 4 will be taken around my workout if I have the time/feel good enough to hit the gym after work.

Day 5 continued
I had a long 12 hour day of physical work, but actually feel better now than I did the majority of the day.
I dosed my third scoop of Alphamine (FP) with a scoop of CF Focus XT around 2PM. It was exactly what I needed as I was both physically and mentally drained at that point.
I just had my pre workout meal with 2 caps of ABE and 2 scoops of TPwder. I'm about to down 20 X-Gels, 3 scoops GlycerGrow, 1g calcium, 2g ALCAR, and some White Flood. Today will be an arm focused workout with the possibility of some light chest work thrown in.

I was actually going to bring up the pump in my workout update. It was pretty intense tonight. Much greater than I've experienced in a while. With my first set of hammer curls my biceps blew up and my left one started twitching for a minute. This was definitely an unusual occurrence for me. I'm not much of a pump guy, but if this is what I can expect from "X-Gels and friends" going forward I'm pretty excited. I experience an increased pump from ABE as well, but this was different. Having run ABE a month ago the effects are still fresh in my mind.
I don't appear too bloated at this point, but my weight just shot up after one day's use of GlycerGrow. Either way, I'm not concerned about it at this point in my run. I'm planning on starting out in more of a mild bulk, transitioning into a recomp, and possibly dropping calories further the last couple weeks based on my body composition at the time.

Day 6
My headache has improved a good amount, but the amount of sleep I'm getting hasn't. My lack of sleep isn't supplement related. There just hasn't been enough time in the day to get everything accomplished as well as a decent night's sleep. Thankfully the weekend is approaching and I should have the chance to relax.
I dosed 2 scoops of FP Alphamine and a cap of EP right when I woke up. A big breakfast was had with 2 caps of ABE about 40 mins later which was once again a challenge. I had no desire to eat and battled through it. I actually skipped 2 of my morning meals yesterday because I simply didn't want to eat (I made up for it later). This is something I never do and really speaks to the effectiveness of Alphamine as an appetite suppressant. I have minimal experience with appetite suppressing supplements, but Alphamine is the only one that has had a real impact on my eating habits.
I weighed 211lbs (+3.6lbs overall) this morning. My weight came down a litte, which I expect will continue after working today.

Day 6 continued
Alphamine was a big help with getting through the day. I thought I would be tired after not sleeping much, but I feel fine. I noticed that my afternoon dose of 1 scoop doesn't have the same appetite suppressing effect that 2 does on me. I'm glad that's the case because I probably wouldn't hit my target calories otherwise. There's the possibility that the appetite suppression could be noticeable with 1 scoop without ABE in the mix. During my last run with ABE I had sporadic hunger increases and was never full, no matter how much I ate.
I just had my pre workout meal with 2 caps ABE and 2 scoops of TPwder. I'll be heading to the gym after dosing 20 X-Gels, 3 scoops GlycerGrow, 1g calcium, 1g ALCAR, and a scoop of Focus XT.
Today's workout is legs. I'm short on time and may have to switch up what I had planned... found out I have to work tomorrow.

Day 6 continued
My leg workout was a change of pace from what I'm used to. I didn't have as much time as I would've liked and wasn't sure what exercises I would fit in. I started with squats, like I normally do, and ended up doing a lot of them. I basically just squatted my legs to death.
BB Back Squat
225x12
315x12
405x10
455x6
475x3
405x10
315x15
315x13
-I was exhausted after the big pyramid sets and started feeling my lack of sleep once I caught my breath.
Calf Extensions (machine)
310x35 (straight)
310x17 (toes in)
310x17 (toes out)
310x19 (straight)
Seated Leg Curl
205x15
205x11
-I ended up stuck sitting on the machine for a minute after several failed attempts to stand up and having my legs lock up.
Leg Extensions
265x12
250x10
I've never attempted this amount of volume with squats, but was happy with the outcome. Strength and endurance were both pretty good considering I was on my feet all day.
I had 2 caps of ABE with my post workout shake and did some quick grocery shopping. I had my eye on the scooter shopping carts, but managed to hobble around on my own lol.
I'm shooting for about 6 hours sleep tonight which will feel like 10 after the last couple days. I normally have Saturday's off, which is why I moved my leg workouts to Friday. Tomorrow has a strong possibility of being a tough day at work.

Thanks fumoney! I have a feeling you will enjoy it.
Yeah it was a nice to swith up my approach. It definitely took a toll on my legs. I'm starting to get tired of the daily physical labor. What started out as helping a buddy turned into a fulltime job. I have to start going back to my office job (my actual career) daily pretty soon and I'm somewhat looking forward to it.
