Good day all, I just got my package in the mail yesterday (thanks D :thumbsup: ) and I was drooling to get started today. Once the Cissus and Symmetry arrives I'll be adding that into this log also to note if and any synergistic effects take place.

Age- 29 (30 next month :D)
Height- 6'2"
Weight- 207

I am currently bulking and will probably continue that for the rest of the calender year, I do one muscle group/day and in preparation for the little one that I have on the way I've changed from afternoon workouts to mornings. Mornings usually look like this:
515- Wake up and eat 1 cup oatmeal and ON 100% shake
600- gym, 8-10minutes on bike for warm up and then:
Monday- Chest, Abs
Tuesday- Back
Wednesday- Legs
Thursday-Shoulders, Abs
Friday- Arms
Saturday- Cardio
Sunday- Off

I plan on taking 5 caps pre-workout and 3 caps on days off after waking. Calories will be between 3500-4000 daily from mostly clean foods.

I will do weekly updates and put up my current measurements on the weekend :D

Low Pulley Rows

Wednesdays:

Leg Curls or SLDL's
Standing Calf Raises
Seated Calf Raises

Thursdays;

I took my first serving of the "MM" last night about 1 hr prior to working out and then had my oatmeal and shake 1/2hr prior. While driving to the gym I noticed a few things, it might be a bit of placebo but these are the things I felt:
Felt an energy surge, couldn't wait to get started
Temperature increased slightly and started to sweat a bit
During the workout:
Did have a really good pump and a little more focus
No real weight increases in the gym but all and all a good first go at it. I am really looking forward to adding the Cissus and Symmetry at a later date so I can really gauge the effectiveness of these "MM's" and how they will interact with the other USP Products :D

Stay Tuned.........

May 25/06

I was feeling burnt out and extremely tired at work, at about 1600 I took 5 caps and 200mg of caffeine on an empty stomach and 15min later it was like I got kicked square in the nuts :nutkick: It was like someone turned on the lights and I was raring to go. There was a noticeable increase in alertness and energy, I can say that it was not due to the caffeine as when I feel like this normally and just take caffeine the effects are not this pronounced.
So, on to the workout. Overall it was a decent workout, went up a few lbs on the first few exercises and the pump was fairly decent the one thing that I really noticed is that the mind muscle connection has been a little bit better, I feel that normally I already have a pretty good grasp on it but it was just that little bit better at the apex of every movement, the squeeze and contraction was just that little bit better. I really am looking forward to the anabolic effects that are due to kick in at day 7 :D

One question I have for those of you taking the "MM's", has your doms increased/decreased at all ? Mine has increased slightly but it might be some extenuating circumstances.

Sunday-

Here are the measurements from yesterday, all are cold:

Chest (43")
Stomach (40")
Waist (37")
Hips (42.25")
L Quad (24.75")
R Quad (24)
L Arm (15.75")
R Arm (15.5")
L Forearm (13")
R Forearm (13")

I've also decided that my current training plan is no good and it's time for a change......a good change. Hopefully most on here are familiar with DC's plan so I'll post up what I've changed my workout to.

Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, Back Width, Back Thickness
Workout 1a:
Chest________________Incline Smith
Shoulder______________Smith Presses
Triceps_______________SkullCrushers
Back width____________Pull Downs to Back
Back thickness_________T-Bar Rows

Workout 1b:
Chest________________hammer strength press
Shoulders_____________hammer strength press
Triceps_______________Reverse Grip Smith
Back width____________Rack Chins to Front
Back thickness_________Smith Rows/ Rack Deads

Workout 1c:
Chest________________flat dumbbell press
Shoulders_____________Shoulder Press DB's
Triceps_______________Dips
Back width____________Pulldowns to the Front
Back thickness_________Bent Over Rows

Biceps, Forearms, Calves, Hamstrings, Quads
Workout 2a:
Biceps________________Barbell Curls
Forearms______________Hammer Curls
Calves________________Standing Calf Raises
Hamstrings_____________Lying Leg Curls
Quads_________________Leg Press

Workout 2b:
Biceps__________________Preacher Curls
Forearms________________Pinwheel Curls
Calves__________________Seated Calf Raises
Hamstrings_______________Stiff Leg Deadlifts
Quads___________________Hack Squats

Workout 2c:
Biceps___________________DB Curls
Forearms_________________Reverse Grip Cable Curls
Calves___________________Calf Leg Press
Hamstrings_______________Seated Leg Curls
Quads___________________ATG Squats

The method to it is as follows, I'll be doing these workouts like this Sunday, Tuesday and Thursdays:
1a,2a,1b,2b,1c,2c,1a,2a,1b,2b,1c,2c.......etc etc. I'll also be in the gym on Mondays for some core strengthening and HIIT Cardio so I don't end up on Beezles back at the end of my bulking cycle (if you don't get that joke, read Glen's sig :think: )

All warm-ups will be noted in () and the working sets reps after the (). So yesterday,

Workout 1a:
Incline Smith BP- (20,15,15,12) 8+2 Rest Pause
Smith Shoulder press- (20,20,15,12) 6+3 Rest Pause (60sec Stretch)
Skullcrushers- (20,18,15,15) 6+1.5 Rest Pause (30 sec stretch)
Pulldowns to Rear-(30,20,15,15) 8+4 Rest Pause (60 sec stretch)
T-Bar Rows- (15,15,12,10) 5+1.5 Rest Pause (30 sec stretch)

Part of the reasoning behind the change in workout plan is partially due to the MM's and the Cissus/Symmetry that I'll be using.These supps in conjunction with the diet I've been sticking to should yield some pretty favourable results :D. Today's workout was awesome, I was shaking at the end of it and felt like I was gonna puke :head: The MM's gave me that intense focus that I really needed when I was doing my rest pause reps. The pump I had was intense in my back, tris and chest.

May 30/06

I will be logging my workouts including the weights I'm using, I am a little bit self conscious about posting up numbers especially with some of the monsters who post here :whip:

Workout 2a:
Weight x Reps
BB Curls
55x20
65x15
75x15
75x12
95x10+2 rest pause
30sec stretch

Hammer Curls DB's
25x20
30x15
30x15

270x25
450x15
720x13
60sec stretch

Lying Leg Curl
60x30
70x20
80x15
80x12

Standing Calf Raises
Bodyweightx50
120x40
200x20
240x15
260x12 (my calves suck) :(

Notes:

MM's gave me a kick ass energy rush this morning, I had to take them (5 caps) with a protein shake and then hit the gym at 0600. My vascularity is improving quite a bit and that is with some weight gain that I've experience, pretty weird if you ask me ??? My recovery between sets is improving and the lactic acid build up is not as severe as I would expect with the change of my workout plan........thus far I am giving the MM's two thumbs up :D

I do have one question for the USP guys though.....should I be taking this on my days off and if so should I drop the dose to say like 3 caps.....you know just to speed up the anabolic effects that are supposed to come through after 7 days ???

thanks guys

Notes:

Bad workout tonight, it was a terrible day at work and I had a splitting headache when I left but I took 6 MM's, 4 Cissus and had a Rockstar drink on the way to the gym. When I got to the stoplights at my gym I was cranked and ready to go still had a headach but I was ready to take out all my frustration on the weights. The focus was amped, my heart rate was up and I was sweating like a pig.....all and all if I hadn't had my USP supply I sure as hell wouldn't have gone to the gym :hammer:

100x15
150x12
190x10
240x13+3rp
100x20 (widowmaker, paused at 16 for a few breaths)
60sec stretch

I'm not too happy with any of my leg work, I still have problems with my left hip flexor that has been in rough shape since I was playing Varsity Hockey 7yrs ago :( So I guess I'll just keep the weights low and make sure I keep my form in check.

SLDL
165x18
185x14
195x12
215x12
245x14+3rp

40x15
65x12+5rp

Observations:
Overall the energy is consistently high 15 minutes after taking the MM's and Cissus. My vascularity is quite noticable even when not training, I'm not sure if the MM's are causing my BP to elevate slightly but after finishing the widowmaker set on Hack squats it felt like my head was gonna explode on the left side but it just as well coulda been that last set took it all out of me :lol: As for weight and appearance, I'm up 2.8lbs from the start of this trial but I really like the way I look in the mornings when I get up, I look quite a bit leaner than normal and some abs are slightly visible :D

June 5/06

No workouts today but I gotta say that test levels are increased. My face hasn't been this oily since I was a teenager, I'm only taking my regular dose of 8-10g of fish oil a day and generally the oil isn't this bad. Some other things I've noticed is a feeling of well being even at my work where it is stressful as all hell right now. I also am just so pumped to be using this stuff that I really look forward to hitting the gym to see what kind of lbs I'm gonna put up........I love it.....but if anyone else is noticing any extra oilyness give me a holla let me know I'm not alone :D

Ahhh tomorrow I can't wait :dl:

BWx8
BW+(25)x10+3rp

Observations: I made a big mistake this morning, I was dead tired at 0515 when I woke up (the wife and baby that's on the way kept me up too late :( ) so I figured 6mm's and 200mg of caffeine would do the trick in addition to the 4 Cissus........wrong, I was really jittery and had stomach cramps. I also became drained after my 3rd set of pulldowns :whiner: Oh well, live and learn. One thing is for sure though, it looks as though my muscles are getting fuller and my strength is kickass (for me anyways :lol: ). My grip is not the greatest so I'm going to pick up some straps this weekend before my next back day and it should help me go heavier.

Definately my fav too, when I tried Cissus for the first time I had a pretty decent limp due to my hip flexor but within a few weeks the sharp shooting pains were gone. I am really looking forward to adding the symmetry in on Wed :D Gonna be pumped.... :dance:
