Dustin07's All Out - Sweat Edition Log - Sponsored by Iconic Formulations

[Dustin07]

Thank you @delsolrob / Iconic for the opportunity!

I've never done a formal log dedicated to just one product before so forgive me for starting off by somewhat following the format that Hyde and AK already started here:

Hyde’s All Out Ultra Log - Sponsored by Iconic Formulations - AnabolicMinds.com

Big thanks to Iconic Formulations for the opportunity to use & review their flagship preWO, All Out Ultra (Blue Hawaiian flavor). You know it’s going to be interesting when the serving size is a 24 GRAM scoop! This thing is loaded: Still, mixed up my very first serving this morning in 12...

I've been a preWO junkie for the better part of 2 decades and what caught my eye about this product is the ingredients within their performance matrix, which I often now days find in some of the nootropics products I've enjoyed. So these in particular got me excited to try. What's even better is I got notification that nootropics I had ordered off Amazon were cancelled the day that my All Out arrived, so that was a coincidental blessing!

Since I already have my main log here:

I'll try to keep this thread focused around the lifting and preWO and keep out the side chatter a bit.

 

[Dustin07]

...reserved...

Week 1 Note: This stuff hits hard. Novel ingredients tend to have a great impact the first time you use them, but I would not necessarily share this with my boy. He's 15 and same size as me, but I normally give him maybe a half a scoop of a more mild product. I might give him a 1/4 scoop of this to let him taste it, but I definitely wouldn't give him a full scoop. I'm loving this product already.

Week 2 Note: I have been able to use both the All Out Ultra, and the All Out Sweat. I feel strongly that the All Out Sweat hits harder. It really gives me a bigger push, I am sweating like crazy in my sessions and my body stays warmer for a while. Another note I want to mention, is I do feel like I have greater mental faculties postWO when taking this product, similar to nootropics I have taken to clear brain fog in the post covid era.

 

[Dustin07]

First off, the artwork is dope.
The safety seal was easy to peal off. The scoop was easy to access. So far all good.
The smell hit me immediately. I grabbed coconut smells and even though I'm back in the very cloudy and dismal PNW today, it definitely reminded me of being on the beach in the Caribbean!

Mixed up incredibly fast, tastes great! Pounded a shaker with about 10oz of water at work then jumped in the car and headed to the gym. I find that the 10 minutes or so it takes to get from work to gym locker room is usually enough for the beta alanine to kick in.

Notes
Weight 196
I've been on business for 1 week in Vegas. a couple of late nights, and 3 hotel gym days. Last night I flew home at 11pm and my alarm went off at 4:30am so I did not expect to have a stellar session. I have not focused on squats in over a year, since 2023 was a purely deadlift + bench centric year for me. Just recently started bringing them back and to squat 305 today felt awesome. I've never been a great squatter, I think my PR is only like 350.

I felt very focused and energized. Like I could essentially push myself to the point of passing out if I wanted to. Almost OG Jack3d style, but without the tingly brain (LOL).

Initial impression is pretty solid! Obviously have to hit a few more sessions to see if there is a trend but so far so good!

 

[Dustin07]

Another note:

10 x 225
20 x 135

Squats really do destroy me. I have many times found myself yawning while on the progression upwards with squats before I hit my top set. there was a fire in my belly today to chase some more volume and it felt great. When I'm deadlifting or benching I never want to stop, so to have a squat session like this was a real treat.

 

[Hyde]

In!

I noticed the inner seal was really good too, which is very important with the glycerol. Keeps the moisture out so when I got mine (the Ultra edition, not sweat) it wasn’t already hardened. Makes it way easier to scoop.

 

[delsolrob]

subbed - thank you! Yeah, I'm such a huge fan of the Blue Hawaiian!

 

[akboom87]

Following along! I’m glad I’m not the only one who pointed out how nice the safety seal was

I don’t squat heavy either. I do it for the flexibility aspects. I found out quite a few years ago that if I squat and deadlift heavy at the same time it kills my back. I hate squats anyways. Takes me forever to warm up.

I see so many guys who barely do 1 warmup set and then jump into working sets on squats - I just can't imagine. I have to do like 5-6 warmup sets before my hip flexors/etc are ready and I can get full ROM

Following along. The Blue Hawaiian flavor is really good.

In on this for sure!

I don’t squat heavy either. I do it for the flexibility aspects. I found out quite a few years ago that if I squat and deadlift heavy at the same time it kills my back. I hate squats anyways. Takes me forever to warm up.

I brought them back because after a year+ of deadlift efforts I could tell that I was losing some size in my legs despite my deadlifts hitting PRs in 2023. I tried to treat my pull days as lower+back days but it wasn't enough. so I started gingerly with low weight sets of 10 this year a few times and yesterday had a bit more desire to test and push it.

I truly think I'm already seeing some improvement in the quad size with only a half dozen or so squat sessions this year as I make it a priority again.

I see so many guys who barely do 1 warmup set and then jump into working sets on squats - I just can't imagine. I have to do like 5-6 warmup sets before my hip flexors/etc are ready and I can get full ROM

me too, it's both mental and physical for me. I'm trying to improve my ability to warm up with less work capacity spent at lower weights, but it honestly just takes me a bit of time to get the body firing on all cylinders, warm, loose, and aggressive, before I can go heavier.

 

[Hyde]

I see so many guys who barely do 1 warmup set and then jump into working sets on squats - I just can't imagine. I have to do like 5-6 warmup sets before my hip flexors/etc are ready and I can get full ROM

Most of those guys are very young, rather weak, or squat pretty high.

Or they already did their mobility work before they got to the gym I try to go that route sometimes in summer, trying to loosen up at home in the AC so when I get into the garage/barbell club I can get to business faster and save some sweating. But there’s still going to be 5 warmup sets for sure.

 

[Resolve10]

Ya I don’t really need to do the warm ups to really open up my mobility, but I can’t imagine not working up weights to a starting weight. I’d feel I’d have to be pretty weak to be able to jump right into it or be sacrificing something.

 

[Dustin07]

Went ahead and tried about 3/4 scoop today before a round of golf in the rainy PNW today. About 55f and I can say to start the game I felt like I had some serious mental clarity and at no point did I feel cold. Definitely feel warm....

Also prolonged energy. A round of golf can be tiring to be honest and at no point did I feel any fatigue mentally or physically.

Man 55 degrees and rain…I’m in 90 degree weather at the beach camping. Not tent camping! Pulled the camper to Conway, SC near North Myrtle Beach for my wife’s 50th.

I might be sweating for the rest of the day now, time to go throw myself over a bank and cut down some trees in the middle of blackberry bushes.

 

[Dustin07]

man I feel thoroughly worked today after yesterdays session and 4hrs of cutting down trees down the bank. Not sure if I'll get a session in today because I have a customer visit that might last 36hrs but really looking forward to my next one.

Notes
Felt good! Haven't pulled over 400 in a while, went "all out" today

425 was a grind, won't lie, but I'm grateful for it cause I pushed through and that's something I'm bad at. So hitting hard reps even if only at like 88% of previous PR is a major mental progress.
Felt naked without my knee sleeves today so that's why I focused more on back and arms versus knee joint accessories.
More than once a big breath of air out my lips sent sweat flying off my lips lol.

Definitely a sweaty session.

over the weekend I had posted this at 10:51am from the gym. Hours later while I was playing lumberjack over our bank, my core was very warm, I was sweating so much I was starting to get cold from the soaking wet under shirt. product lives up to its name.

Notes
That 300 was a crazy miss, I'm like 90% sure that's a mental thing I have to just get over. My cadence out of bottom position was off, my bar path sucked, I hit an instant wall like 2" off my chest. And this was after 285 moved like butter. Dropped back to 290 and no problem. 300 out of the rack felt smooth. 305 for a triple was no problem with sling shot. So I'm pretty sure it's practice / mental.

All Out Notes: really did not want to stop today, felt fire and energy enough to push more volume if I had time. great session.

 

[LeanEngineer]

That 300 was a crazy miss, I'm like 90% sure that's a mental thing I have to just get over.

I was the same with 315. It was awhile before I actually hit 315 due to mental. I've lost some strength since then and typically stay at 225 for working sets now.

 

[Dustin07]

yeah I was telling my buddy I'm pretty sure once I break 305, that the mental block will be gone and I'll see a few PR's come in play. I mean 285 was so fast and easy, I really sat there for a minute to decide:

do I hit 295, then make a 10lb jump
or do I just go to 300 since I haven't hit 300 in a while.

I really didn't think 15lbs was going to cause a fail by how fast 285 went, but maybe I just got a bit greedy. I have a plan though...

 

[Dustin07]

Today's session was actually on the Ultra Edition rather than Sweat. I could definitely see the difference too. Somehow less tingles even though I think the beta a is the same, but definitely nowhere near the sweating.

Notes
295 was clean. Sticking to my plan. Just incremental progress.

320 went faster and smoother than 315, need a session with my boy tho cause rando spotters do make the handoff awkward.

Very sodium filled meals this week, tipped the scale at 204 this morning.

Also dosed up one more day of epi cause I didn't see a reason to stop with barely 1.5days worth in the bottle.

Up about 6lbs since I started cutting.

 

[Hyde]

Now that’s a solid-ass session

 

[LeanEngineer]

Up about 6lbs since I started cutting

I'd say convert to a bulk! It's more fun anyways!

 

[Dustin07]

Now that’s a solid-ass session

I love weekend sessions, more time to get a few more things done, no rushing, just enjoying the moment.

I'd say convert to a bulk! It's more fun anyways!

ahahaha sounds like the last 24 months for me.

 

[Dustin07]

Back on the Sweat version today. Walked in not expecting a huge day, but did at 10lbs to my top rep. Now that I have sampled both the Ultra, and the Sweat, I feel like the sweat hits harder!

Did it again. Found my lifting belt in the lost and found...wtf. the part that made me most nervous was breaking in a new one.
I did not give myself enough credit on that 315 attempt. That was smooth
235 x 10 was a grind for real though.
My legs were legit shaking on that 405 lol.

I’ve been using the same lifting belt for like the past 10 years. Once you find a good one you don’t let go!

I’ve been using the same lifting belt for like the past 10 years. Once you find a good one you don’t let go!

for real. I bought my inzer off a guy at my old gym for $40 because he wanted to move to lever style and I preferred the single buckle. this was like 2016 or 2017. it was still new so I had to break it in. The prices have gone up now quite a bit but even more than the cost of buying a new one, the idea of having to break in a thick ass inzer all over again was a devastating thought! lol

Notes
Was not feeling it, but the preWO hit, the tunes popped, the weights started moving. Feeling pumpy.

Pretty much kept pushing it till I felt the pump fading.

On a note of hygienic fails, I should have swapped out my shoes and shorts from yesterday. I had the pleasure of starting today's workout with pre sweated clothes lol. Even my shoes .... This Sweat version preWO is solid

 

[Dustin07]

I'm really enjoying the Sweat product. Could be placebo effect but today I went into the gym HOPING to hit about 290. I did not think my linear work was going to continue as it's been a bit of a long week and I was not feeling strong. but, alas, PR Tie. Back at work afterwards, and I do feel like I have some improved mental clarity vs this morning.

Played with my warm up and progression a bit today.

300 was butter!

That 230 PR caught me off guard. Might have had 12+ in me with a spotter.

Easily had 15+ on the 205 but again didn't wanna get pinned while that hot chick across from me was leg pressing. Plus that set honestly made me light headed. My body is still trembling a bit from the 230lb set.

Today's dinosaur is the Peckasaurus Rex. It's diet is thought to have been Phosphatidic acid xt, anabolic effect, xpg alpha gel, dhea, and when the Epiandro trees are in blossom, a healthy dose.

It definitely wouldn't have trouble packing on muscle with that line up!

It definitely wouldn't have trouble packing on muscle with that line up!

man something is working. My wife is making more comments, and I feel like I'm leaning up even though the scale is STUCK at about 198/200. which is super heavy for me after ten years keeping at about 180-183. Last night I honestly felt like my arms looked big (for me) which is huge because among body dysmorphia folks like myself, I have always always felt like my arms were by far my weakest point and super hard to grow.

 

[Dustin07]

Yesterday; 6/9/2024.
lol, 6/9.

So after reading Hyde's post about weighing out preWO I did the same thing yesterday. I'm guessing it came out to roughly a scoop and 1/3. I also used All Out Ultra, rather than Sweat for this session. I wanted to see if the All Out Ultra hit harder on a serving measured by weight.

Squats
5 x 135, 185, 225

Front squats

Notes
this wasn't really much of a training session because it was the first time my boy took an interest in squats so we skipped our normal sunday bro bench sesh and started the teaching of the squats. He's crazy strong. I will say that measuring out the All Out preWO by weight instead of scoop definitely lead to a better experience.

 

[Dustin07]

I really was not sure what I was going to have in me today. I took a little over one full scoop of All Out SWEAT today, and I have decided that is not necessary. My body is very warm still, 2 hours later, but I do feel like I had sweat a little less during my workout. SWEAT is a potent product and 1 scoop is fine.

So I kinda got into my own way here today, again playing with my progression, then gym math got confusing on the fly, lol. I should have left well enough alone and stuck to my normal progression
