R1 puts X gels to the test /endosurge turbo and Anabeta

This may be weird, but how was the acne on Anabeta? The only thing that has stopped me from taking anything with Anacyclus in it was that fact....haha.

Have you tried it to see if you get acne? Or is that just what you've heard?
 
ma70 said:
It's just what I've heard in many reviews of AB/ABE. I'm sure not everyone gets it.

Exactly. I've only seen a few people report increased acne. I personally do not get any signs of acne from AB/ABE.

You're right. Now that I think about it, I don't really get sore joints/DOMs from ArA either (and I dose it pretty high). Guess I'll be trying it soon :D

I never get acne from anabeta but everyone is different. It does boost test but that's not it's primary function

At first, yes. But it's been almost a month and it's just back to my normal soreness. Pumps have decreased but vascularity is rising

very nice!!!

i am almost tempted to try ara again!!!
 
Do it!

Sorry for lack of updates. Been crazy spending time with friends from out of town and everything. Still got all my lifts in. Will update today or tonight
 
Sorry for the lack of updates. With the holidays and all its been crazy but i was able to get all of my lifts in. Back on schedule now. Starting Friday I will start updating numbers again. Havent seen strength increases with the new schedule yet but they should be coming. Pumps are still there along with vascularity. I will weigh in again on Friday to see where I am at.

So far I am LOVING this stack. By far the best stack I have used to gain weight but keep the fat gain at a minimum. I think the reduced fat gain is credit to endosurge. I wish i had another bottle of Anabeta though! Missing it already. I still have a ton of ArA left so this log should be long.

Surgical tech program starts the 13th...kinda nervous all over again haha When i first started nursing i was scared as crap but as it went on i loved it. hope this is the same.

Thanks man.

Today I had another great lift. My endurance is so low when doing full body workouts. Gotta get used to it. Will post numbers tonight. Got a little stronger on 2 lifts so that's progress

Ok so after this post, I will go back through the log and see how long i have been on everything then update it. Havent weighed in this week. Looking to weigh in tomorrow or Friday. Monday's workout was the best training session i have had since the start of the log. Enduance was very high. I have been struggling with finishing the workouts. I usually go to the gym between 2-4 and thats when i am very tired usually (wanna nap!) so i decided to change my training time to at night. I lifted around 830 last night and it was awesome. i was wide awake. With school starting back up next week I am not sure what time I will be able to go.

oh, quick thought on those BB Rows:

Ive found them more effective when my back is almost parallel to the round as long as my back is straight and not curved. Gotta arch those shoulders back and with heavy weight its hard to do that but you get such a good stretch on the negative portion of the lift when doing this.
 
Yup. I love doing Barbell Rows. They actually target my lats and I can do them safely since I dont have to support the weight with my lower back for awhile.

yeah man. my lats arent sore today but my upper back is. i just love going lighter in weight but get at that 90 degree angle almost and really get good form and squeeze my scapulas together.

I mainly feel it in my lats, but I guess it depends how wide your hands are from eachother and if you are managing to row to your upper abdomen or chest. I manage to row about 10 lbs less than I bench. I think after doing them for awhile and getting used to the MMC you will probably be hitting up more weight

Very true. I go overhand grip shoulder width apart. I db row pretty good numbers (if that's my first lift of the day). I can hit 100s all day. BB row is low tho. Then again I haven't done them in quite some time

Yeah. I remember when I stopped doing Bent Over Rows and tried Barbell Rows. After I got the form/technique down, I think i increased the weight pretty quick (like 10-20 lbs a week....of course, until it started to get near my bench press weight)

Hahahaha well I'm far off from my bench weight right now so that's good
 
Had a great lift today. Working out at night has seemed to help my endurance a ton. Will update tomorrow. I can't wait to weigh in. Most noticeable growth is in my arms maybe back thickness as well.
 
Wednesday night's lift wasnt anything special. Felt sick. had a low grade fever. Still went though!!!! numbers are the same or close to last wednesday's workout. I am going to the gym in about 2 hours or so then ill post an update tonight.
 
1/14

do you starve a cold feed a fever or other way around...webmd says neither, food is important in the healing process!!!

eat up, my friend!!!

Yeah. According to webmd and other sources, low volume intense training is good for you when you are sick. They say you are stronger while sick, but endurance is compromised.

no i eat whether im sick or not sick. I have such a hard time putting on pounds and when i do gain, i wanna keep it.
 
I've decided to stop logging numbers and start focusing on form and really gaining weight. This will help me save time also for school. I will post 3 to 4x a week on my weight and some numbers
 
Thursday 1/16

Today was B day. You can go back and see what I lifted. I listed what I do for A B and C. Man, today was awesome. Changing my workout time from 2 PM to 8 PM has really helped. Idk about PRs, but going off from last week's numbers, I out lifted every single one of them. Either by increased reps or increase in weight. On 2 lifts I did both. Very pleased. Saturday gonna weigh in!!

sounds like progress!!!
 
Ya. Saturday at the gym I went up 5 pounds on incline DB. Hit 95 for 8 reps. Previous time was 90 for 8 reps or 6 reps I think. People are saying I look thicker. Loving it
