Heck! I might as well give this entry a go. Though, I will say, that if I am not chosen, I had a supp planned out for the upcoming month before this entry anyhow. I would still like to try this out, though.
I realize that there was some controversy a while back over this particular supp, something to do with an ingredient being/not being in the product as it claimed. Well, I would like to know how this product works.
Y'all at Universal have nothing to prove to me, I know. I just wanna know how this particular product works. It is said that this is not only a test-boosting product, but that it will boost the other four main helping hormones, curtail problematic estrogen, increase energy, and provide valuable micronutrients.
That sounds right up my alley any time of the year. Particularly, now though, I'd be using it for something of a "recomp." And hormones are known to kind of go, in a one-word statement "haywire", when recompositioning occurs. I would like to see if this can help keep them buggers in check and not leave me soft and weak. I am on a sensible diet. I eat naturally. That word is kind of vague, so I guess I'm saying that I eat when hungry. I get hungry five times per day it seems. I only have three rules for myself:
1. I cycle my carbs (eat only from 60g-100g on off days w/cardio)
2. I take in 40g protein per meal.
3. I get small amounts of fat in with each meal. These fats come from fatty fish, egg yolks, walnuts/flax seed, sesame oil.
The program I use is what I call "the meat n' taters" program. I work out only three times per week, since I am not eating what a lot of experts would say "bulking" cals. I do cardio three times per week with moderate intensity. Here is what a week of training is for me:
*Reps are not set in stone; dependent on weight
Monday: Chest/Tris
DB incline 3x10,8,6
Weighted dips 3x10,8,6
DB flat 3x10,8,6
Skullcrushers 4x12,10,10,8
Tuesday: Back/Bis
Weighted pullups 3x10,8,6
Deadlifts 4x10,8,6,4
Rows 3x10,8,6
Reverse curls 4x12,10,8,6
Wednesday: Rest w/moderate cardio
10 minutes ex. bike
5 minutes burpees no pushups/decline situps
10 minutes ex. bike
5 minutes burpees/decline situps
Thursday: Shoulders/Legs
Upright rows 5x12,10,8,10,12
Lateral Raises 3x12
Squats 4x12,10,8,6
Leg Ext. 3x12
Ham curl 3x12,10,8
Friday: Rest w/moderate cardio as above
Saturday: Rest w/moderate cardio as above
Trap Raises 4x15
Back Trap Raises 3x15
Sunday: Rest
**Core work is done on Monday/Wednesday
Decline situps, leg raises, and DB side bend variations
I would use this in hopes of keeping my body "hard" as I continue to shed pounds and gain back strength I had lost. I hope to do what I did at 230+ lbs. at 190 or less lbs. I'll wager this could be a good assist!
If I am not a lucky one, that'll suck!
P.S.- I was involved in that thread a while back when the controversy over the sterone being/not being in this product. If I log this product and it works well, I guess I'd not only have a sock put in my mouth, but I'd be happy as hell. Because when I try a product from a company for the first time and it works, I am happy about it. I'll check back in later, I reckon.
Thanks!
Eric
