OK guys here goes. I was lucky enough to be selected by the Synergy Muscle guys to be a tester for the new stack. I received my quite interesting package but I was waiting until this morning when I had some blood drawn to begin. Usually I would begin on a Sunday of Monday but I couldn't wait until next week. The bloodwork was done this morning before I had taken any dosages of any compounds. The bloodwork is really comprehensive including all the basics and just about all Endocrine parameters. Currently I am not on any supplements besides some higher dosages then regular of the basic vitamins (nothing to extreme) and Cissus. I will likely drop the Cissus a few days into this stack so as not to confound any results I may have and also to see if the new stack has any ancilliary benefit of keeping the joint pain at bay.
BASIC STATS
31 years old
5'8''
198lbs
13% - 14% bf (Planning to get it tested later this week)
15 years of training with rare breaks (longest was recently a 2 month break)
Mesomorph/Endomorph (easy to gain muscle but also easy to gain fat, in cloths always look pretty athletic but carry fat around mid section that doesn't go away without extreme effort. Poor recovery from exercise and volume tolerance. Overtraining always possible.)
TRAINING HISTORY
When younger my main goals were size and strength. As the years have gone but I have decided that recomp is really more what I am looking for at this stage. Have gone through various training styles and different types of reps, sets, volume, intensity, etc. Decent background in exercise science (B.S. in Exercise Physiology).
Currently main goal is to reduce body fat and maintain or slightly gain lbm. I am competitive in amature boxing (definately getting old for it so it is purely a hobby). So the body recom is my main goal with a focus on exercise performance also. But really this is the beginning of planning for the summer.
BEST RECOMPS SO FAR
Last year lost 28pounds in 6 weeks and ended at 170lbs and 6% lbm.
One time gained 19 lbs in 4 weeks (not too extreme but it was on PH/PS rather then AAS)
DIET
Currently I will be eating a maintenence calorie diet with a plan to revisit the total calories each week. If I start to gain and it is lean I will increase slightly or maintain. If I truely start to lose and it seems like some of it was lbm I will definately increase.
Diet is mainly moderate carbs, with moderate protein and fat as low as possible. I usually use a low carb diet for recomp/fat loss so even the fact that I am now eating carbs and recomping will likely create some different effects. I have not cut on a low fat diet in years. As a matter of fact I have not been on a low fat/high to moderate carb diet in years excapt when I am in "free eating" mode (periodically when motivation drops, luckily not to often). Basically just decided I need to have the carbs because my recovery and exercise performance really suffers.
SUPPLEMENT/AAS HISTORY
Over the years I have used just about every supplement I could possibly get my hands on. I have also used some items that you might purchase through a friend. At different times in my exercise "career" over the years I have been pretty ripped (at least single digits bf) at weights as low as 155lbs and as high as 220lbm. I have pretty much experienced both extremes and I think I have very good insight into what works and doesn't for my body. Also I am very sensitive to changes in my body so many of the reactions to this stack you hear from me may not be as pronounced for most of you.
Haven't used any PH/PS or AAS since August. After that I went through extensive PCT and am sure I have been fully recovered for a while.
WORKOUT
Boxing training 4-5 days pers week for approximately 12 rounnds each workout (36min on/47minutes total workout) Abs and core strength exercises 4 times per week.
Strength training each body part 1 time per week. I know this seems very infrequent but for me with all of the boxing training I seem to get best results in strength and recovery from infrequent, intense weith training sessions. 9-12 sets per body part, 8-12 rep range (I usually follow a periodization model so this is roughly a hypertrophy phase). This is my third full week back in the gym after an extensive layoff due to a brachialis injury on my left arm and some other problems.
TODAY:
I took my full dosages of each of the supplements just as outlined in the "How to dose" thread. 3 of each cap morning, pre workout, and night. 7.5 grms of white powder in the morning and after workout.
As far as today goes I did not notice anything. (not surprising since it was not even a full day "on").
I will try to make daily updates. Weekends are rough because I ususally spend them at my girl's house and I don't have high speed computer access. Please let me know what you guys want to hear about, what you want me to look out for.
Also suggestions are welcome.
