Workout #1 chest and abs

Incline DB bench: 80x12 90x10 100x7
Incline BB bench: 135x8 155x8 185x6
DB bench press(palms facing): 60x8 70x7 80x5
Incline flyes: 40x12 45x10 50x7

Weighted abs crunches with rope: 110x15 120x15 130x15
Bench crunches: 3 sets of 20

Overall tone of workout was solid didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in terms of feeling but I didn't expect to either. Chest has always been one of my stronger parts so I'll see how pronounced the effects are when I hit my arms and back.
 
See first post, I'm very anal so its just easier for me to stick to this type of program rather then add a different food here or there. If anything I'll add an extra serving of oats and chicken if its back or leg day.
 
Well its safe to say that I am definetly feeling the effects of yellow gold, back workout was off the freakin hilt. Started off with deads and my traps and rhomboids felt swole as hell after just one set. Its not a Nitric Oxide type pump but a more substantial and denser feeling that I can feel in the contraction of the muscle. I'm looking foward to hitting arms and seeing how they feel after some close grip bench and preacher curls.

Workout 2
Deads: 225x10, 275x8, 315x6, 400x3

Close grip pulldowns: 110x10 120x8 130x7 140x6
Single arms cable rows: 80x8, 90x6, 100x6
 
workout 3

Arms

Reverse grip bench: 135x12 185x10, 225x6
Hammer curls: 40x14 45x12 50x10
Rope Pushdowns: 60x10 70x8 80x6
Cable curls:80x10 90x8 100x6
Machine Dips: 180x14 190x12 200x10

Effects are definetly becoming more pronounced muscle belly's feel full and pumped a good 4-5 hours after workout. One side effect that I've noticed is that my appetite has increased after each dose so I've decided to add in a quarter cup of rasisins before and after workout dosing. Its only been 6 days but I am really enjoying this product, every day is like I've just finished carbing up after a depletion workout and I'm loving it. :bb:

Im loving it as well. I find if I wait longer then 15mins before eating after the dose I get really hungry. I havent been waiting longer on purpose just happens that I get a phone call or something and im delayed about 10minutes.
 
Workout 4

Leg Day

Squats: 225x12 275x8 315x6
Leg Curls: 120x12 140x10 160x8 180x6
Hack Squats: 180x10 270x8 350x6
Leg Extensions:120x14 100x12 Drop set (90x10 80x9 70x6)

First Week impressions: Not taking taste into consideration, I must say I really feel this product is your best to date and thats saying a lot. I cannot overstate how great it is to feel full all day long thats one of my biggest complaints about dieting. Being lean is great but being lean and flat makes a person look small, just the other day I got a comment from someone in my bio class that every time they see me I'm getting bigger, that was a definite ego boost. I'll be posting week one picks tomorrow morning stay tuned.
 
Workout 5

shoulders

DB Press 80x10 90x8 100x6
DB Laterall raises 30x14 40x10 50x7
Upright Rows: 85x14 125x12 135x8
Incline Laterall Raises: 20x12 25x9 30x7


Nothing new to report as of yet other then the fact that I'm still experiancing the feeling of fullness so it definetly isn't a placebo effect. Weight is down 1.5 lbs which isn't that much but I like to keep my weight loss slow and steady that way I don't loss any strength in the process.
 
Workout 6

Chest

Incline BB press: 135x14 185x12 205x10 225x7
Decline BB press: 135x16 155x12 185x9 205x7
DB pullovers: 60x12 70x10 80x7
Incline flyes: 35x11 45x8 55x6

Everything is going smoothly I'm excited for this coming week because I seem to really get into my fat loss groove after a week or two of getting acclimated and if I can keep pushing the same weights throughout my cut then I'll be very pleased with YG. Also on a side note I've found that if I pound the yg with hot water then chase it with sprite zero there is no after taste whatsoever.
 
Workout 7

Back

Dead Lifts: 225x10 315x8 405x3 455x1 PR
Cable Rows: 140x15 150x13 160x10
DB rows: 80x9 90x7 100x6
Machine BB rows: 225x14 275x12 285x10

Thoughts:
Best workout I've had in a long time, I was so freaking pumped after I got that last dead off the floor it felt great. Back was feeling freaking swole the rest of the day especially my traps, weight is down to 185 not to bad. And since I'm retaining my fullness it is a lot more evident since when I cut weight, early on I kind look soft due to the fact of carbs.
 
My apologies for the lack of updates I had been experiancing some minor computer problems, but now that they are worked out it should be smooth sailing for the remainder of the trial.

So far its been three weeks on a reduced cal diet and I haven't lost any strength as far as I can tell, although I don't max out often if at all I am tempted to try it in the next week or two. I try to cycle as through as many rep ranges and excercises as I can so I don't stall in my progress. I always took for granted glucose disposal probably because it didn't seem as flashy as many of the other so called cutting edge supplements to hit the market. So far yellow gold has made me reconsider my stance.
Also on a side note exactly how many days worth did each tester recieve because it seems like I've barely made a dent and its going on three weeks at 3x a day dosing.

How many mg per serving/day are you using?

How are you feeling your recovery has improved? Both between sets and sessions?
 
I'm dosing 1/4 tsp 3x times a day.
The thing I've noticed about recovery with yg is that in normal circumstances when I usually diet I look and feel very flat, after lets say a intense back or leg workout. With yg however I have not noticed this flat feeling as am able to take in a greater amount of carbs without them messing up my diet. As for recovery inbetween sets its hard for me to say mainly because I really like to blaze through my workouts and keep my heart rate up, the most I'll take is a minute between sets and thats usually squats and deads.

I'm dosing at 500mg (1 rounded 1/4 tsp) 3x a day and I'm about to start week 4 and I almost have none left. After my log is done I have about a weeks worth left. And yes I capped and measured the YG. Are you using a rounded 1/4 tsp? Unless USPLabs sent ya the "Bucket O Gold" size :)
 
I'm not using a rounded scoop rather I level it off so that makes it easier to understand why I have more left.

workout 11

Deads 22x10 275x8 315x6 405x2 :sad:
Cable rows: 140x15 150x12 160x9 170x6
Smith Machine Rows: 180x12 235x10 255x7
Close grip pulldowns: 120x14 140x11 160x8

Was a little pissed off that I didn't match last week deadlift numbers, I think a may start doing them every other week don't want to overtax my system so I'll rotate another back thickness movement in. Weight is down to 182 and I'm begginging to see the cuts and veins that I had when I did my contest 2/12 months ago at a heavier body weight so I'm optimistic on how the rest of the log will turn out, if I'd had to guess I'd say I have 2.5-3 weeks of product left.
 
Workout 12 legs

Leg Extensions 120x14 140x11 160x8
Front Squats: 135x12 185x10 225x7 245x4
stiff legged deadlifts: 100x16 150x14 175x11
Leg curls: 120x15 140x12 160x9
Abductor Machine: 120x18 140x15 160x12

Had something a little weird happen to me while during my workout today right after front squats I got very light headed and needed to take a 5 minute break to compose myself, I'm guessing that my blood sugar dropped to low and doing legs certainly didn't help either. Other than that the workout went pretty well after I got some additional carbs in me, I definetly give this product props because when dieting I am usually very carb phobic when it comes to losing weight and while it does work in peeling the weight off, my energy levels are not exactly through the roof and my lifts tend to fall off a bit, with yg this hasen't been the case yet.
 
Workout 13

Shoulders

DB presses: 80x10 90x8 100x5
Incline rear laterals: 20x14 25x11 30x8
Side laterals: 35x14 40x12 45x10
Barbell front raises: 80x15 90x12 100x8
Cable laterals: double drop set 25x15,35x12,45x8

Shoulders have always been one of my better parts when it comes to feeling the "pump" even more so then arms, I noticed that at the end of my workout I definetly was seeing more veins peeking through then normal. At this point in testing its easy to take for granted the fullness factor I am experiancing on a daily basis and am interested to see how quickly this dissipated after stopping this product. Picked some up from nutra and probably will get a capping machine also, even though I've been taking it for 3 weeks I still can't get over the damn taste and capping it will definetly make it an easier process.
 
Today I tried something a little different in regards to my training and did a full body circuit workout, I must say that I enjoyed it quite a bit and in terms of fullness my whole body felt like a rock.

Workout went as follows.

Incline BB press: 135x12 185x10 225x6
DB Shoulder Press: 70x10 80x8
Cable rows: 140x14 150x12 160x10
Preacher Curls:70x16 80x14 90x10
Tricep rope pushdowns: 60x14 70x12 80x10
Deads:225x14 275x12 315x10

Weight is hovering around 183 right now and am sure I'm storing a lot of glycogen with the yg so actual weightloss might be higher once I come off of the yg I'll get a better idea.
 
workout 15 legs

Squats 135x18 185x16 225x14 275x12 315x8
leg ext: 120x12 140x10 160x8
Leg curls: 140x12 150x9 160x8

Had to cut my workout a little short today due to the fact I nearly fainted after squatting, I really need to remember to take in more carbs around leg day as this is the second time this has happened to me. I will say that before I started getting woozy I was pumping out my reps pretty easily and I felt I could've gone up with the weight if I wanted to so I'll definetly up my carbs next time and see what happens. Weight is still at 182 but I'm a firm believer in cutting slow and steady so I don't drop off in strength quads and looking and feeling dense as hell and now that I started tanning again I'm starting to see more and more seperation in them.:bb2:
