The guys at Lecheek were nice enough to give me the opportunity to do a log for their Speed X3 preworkout supplement. I've probably tried around 15-20 differen't PWOs now so I have a good idea of what I like. I'm more of a nootropics guy than a pump guy. So I think I'm gonna like Speed X3. When it comes to stimulant tolerance I'm about average. For this log, I'll lifting 3x a week and doing triathlon training 6x a week. I'll post for each lift day and 1 or 2 other cardio days a week. I read some reviews of Speed X3 and they said to take it easy on the first few doses. Today was a swim + bi/tri day over lunch and I hadn't eaten anything for 4 hours. So to start off, I took half a scoop 30 min pre swim and loaded up a water bottle with another half scoop and Purple Wraath to sip during my swim. I was already pretty antsy to get my workout going so I didn't feel the half scoop kick in right away. I definitely felt the tingles about 15 minutes after taking it. However during my swim, I really got dialed in. I felt like nothing could stop me. Endurance was awesome. My last set was just as strong as my first one. It lasted 35 minutes. By the end of it, I had finished my 16 oz water bottle and was definitely feeling a little jittery with a full serving in me. Ten minutes later and after eating a little fruit, I was absolutely killing my lift. I felt limitless. More Purple Wraath intraworkout. Here's how the 40 minute lift went.
4X wide grip BB curl 110 lbs, 7-9 reps
4x reverse EZ curl bar 85 lbs, 7-9 reps
4x DB overhead tri press 85 lbs, 6-9 reps
4x cable tri pressdown 170 lbs, 7-9 reps
2x cable D handle curls 35 lbs 12-17 reps
SS cable tri kickbacks 17 lbs 12-17 reps NO REST
Again, felt limitless during the lift. It was as if I hadn't even gone for a swim. I was going until failure each set and recovery was outstanding. I was ready for the next set with only 45-75 sec rest. All in all, great first experience with Speed X3. I don't think I'll ever need more than 1 scoop knowing my body. I am still a little jittery 1 hour post workout, zero crash so far. For my straight cardio sessions, I think I'll only need half a scoop, longer cardio workouts I may sip on another half scoop or something else with a little caffeine. I don't want my heart to be pounding before I go for a run/bike/swim. Half scoop seemed perfect for my swim today. If there is anything noteworthy about the rest of my day, I'll post again.
