Hey guys, decided to do my first log. Just starting this new stack, and after maintaining weight for a few months, I’m ready to bulk up a bit more and hopefully make some great strength gains. So I figured this would be the perfect time to start a log to contribute to the community and also to help hold myself accountable and stay on track.
Bit of my background for anyone interested: I’m 24yrs old and have had type 1 diabetes for 20 years. Always was pretty active, but not an athlete by any means. In my later teen years I started to get interested in working out, as I was pretty thin (135lb 5’9.5”) but never got consistent unfortunately, and would just work out a little at home here and there. Gained a little weight slowly over my early 20s, and by the start of 2023 I weighed 148 and was getting more serious about lifting and eating to put on some size, but was still working out at home. Definitely didn’t have things as dialed in as I could have, although I was making progress. On oct/6/2023 I decided to finally get a gym membership and I weighed about 157 by then. Since I got the membership, I’ve been very consistent with my workouts, I try to go to the gym daily, unless I’m feeling too sore or had to do something physically active most of the day, then I’ll take a day off. As of this morning (June 27th 2024) I now weigh 173.6 and am still relatively lean although I have gained a little bit of fat as well, which I don’t mind at all right now, as I can still see my veins and abs. I’m very happy with my progress, but I know I could be eating more. I enjoy working out, but recently getting enough calories to keep bulking has been my main struggle and I’ve been in the 170ish range for the past few months. Although the impatient part of me wishes I had kept the calories up consistently, maybe it was for the best that I eased up for a few months to let my body adjust to the new 170ish weight level. Now after having a few months of maintenance, I’m ready to get to 180.
So I will be attempting to increase calories, (and track them, as I’ve been struggling to track consistently). I’m also implementing this sns stack, and will be tracking my workout progress, as recently I have just been going with an intuitive approach these past few months, not recording anything. This log will hopefully help me stay on track with all this!
The stack:
SNS Phosphatidic Acid XT
SNS Prime XT
SNS Amentoflavone XT
SNS X-Gels
SNS PEA Relief
SNS Kidney Assist XT
Today is the third day of PA and PrimeXT, I’ve been taking double the dose of PA and will continue to do that for a few more days to help saturate quicker as recommended by Steve. Taking amentoflavone pre workout. PEA + kidney assist at night (obviously these two won’t help the gains much, but wanted to add them for overall health and hoping the pea helps with little pains here and there). I’ve held off on the X gels so far because I had a little bit of pain in my left elbow and wanted to clear that up before adding the gels in. It already feels like it’s getting better, so I’m planning to add the X gels after a couple more days.
I will be posting each workout as a separate post, on the same day of the workout. Decided to stick to a relatively intuitive approach for now, but track everything so I can gauge progress. This means that I won’t be following set-in-stone rep counts/sets, but most importantly I will always try to do better then whatever I did on the previous workout, and as a bare minimum match it. If I improve on at least one exercise each workout I’ll be happy! Excited to see how fast I progress once the supplements start kicking in. Anyways, this first post went on a lot longer than I expected, hoping to have a consistent and successful log here, thanks for reading!
