DAY 28
Decided to try my 3 mile run today. Started out hard charging, but again died halfway through. Not keeping up with the running + the extreme heat/humidity did me in, but honestly I don't think the RPM helps my cardio at all. It made my heart beat too hard and made me too hot. I can't blame the crapping out on the run on it, but I don't think it helped. I'm going to try the run next week w/o the RPM.
Even once I started walking I couldn't cool off...
My legs felt good, which is abnormal for me. Usually my legs wear out on a run before anything else. I think I can possibly get my goal time next week, I just need to try and run at dusk.
so anyways, it was still some solid cardio, although I'm upset I don't have a solid time to give for my one month goal.

Tomorrow is my one month test on deadlift. Really hoping to pull 315.
unfortunately I can't find my "before" photo. I thought I backed it up onto my usb drive, but I guess not.

DL test day
I took 5 RPM, and holy crap was I bouncing off the walls annoying the crap out of my wife, who in turned pissed me off by being mean about it.
otherwise, dosing the same

So I fell short of my goal of 325, but I am fairly happy. I added 30 pounds in 30 days to my deadlift
This was a 2 month small competition amongst friends. Last month I only added 20 pounds, so it looks like this stack had a significant impact!

Good advice, it is just too much on the same day. I tried it for a bit, but always ended up with a sore lower back.

DAY 32/33 off days, moving (almost done)
DAY 34 (yesterday)
I had to work really late, so I didn't make it to the gym. Seemed like a good time to go on that run I have been trying to get in.
3 Mile time: 25:15 ! My goal for the month was 25 flat, so in my mind I basically achieved it. Very pleased with that run. I've dropped all of this time with very little actual cardio work. I think props have to be given to cordygen.
Day 35 (today)
Stats
weight
180 lbs (-2lbs)
waist at naval
36" (-1")
Body fat:
11.3% (-2.6%)
Saw some really great stats today. Very pleased with that progress! The few runs I have put in, plus not eating pizza in over a week (lol) must have helped.
My goal was to drop 2% and I did it. Good day other than my workout.
Workout (lunch time), mixed results. Main movement saw a slight drop, but support lifts saw slight increases.
seated mil press
95 x 6
115 x 3
120 x 3
125 x 3
130 x 3
135 x 2 (down 1 rep, and I struggled)
140 x 1
Dumb bell flat bench
75s x 5 x 3 (this was actually a little better than last time)
weighted pull ups, straight grip
+20 x 5 x 4 x 4 (this too was slightly better)
bent over rows
135 x 6ish x 3 (basically unchanged)
bent delt raises
15s x 12 x3 ( dropped the weight, but increased the reps)
and as an added boost the ego, someone asked me for advice on losing body fat at the gym. I must not look that fat anymore (I mean why would you ask a fat guy how to lose fat?).

DAY 35, off
DAY 36 (today)
Stats:
181 lbs (+1 from last weigh in)
I **** you not, I have stretch marks on my back. I wish I knew the exact name of the muscle group. The muscles that line the spine towards the upper half of your back. There are stretch marks running down one side. Insanity.
I have some java soap, but lathering back there isn't too easy :lol:
ok enough of that, on to the workout.
Dosing was standard, 4 RPM, 3 incarnate, 3 kreaceps, 1 hour before. Forgot my cordygen, and my post workout cardio actually felt more strained (I didn't even think of it until I was feeling more tired than usual and realized that I had forgotten the cordygen).

Workout was good, numbers on bench seemed to improve slightly, and my incline bench was definitely better than last (I rep'd 115 last time).
Left knee has been having discomfort since the run on monday, so I'm taking it a little easy on it. I couldn't tell you if cissus is helping it any or not. This means no doing my favorite compounds (squats or DLs) for a week or so.
I'm not sure what my goal is for this last half of the log (and I'm a week in...). I think I should try to hit 175lbs (work on slow cutting), and keep the cardio up. I'd like to see my overhead squats go way up as well, its hard to work them in though.
overall I'm feeling great, still loving the stack, and the changes I have seen in my appearance are excellent. I couldn't be much happier about it.

DAY 40

My diet has been pretty bad. A ton of cheese, beer, and a few cookies (I almost never eat junk food, but my wife made some really good cookies... ). But the weight still dropped some :shrug:

Changing the workout for this week. My knees are still hurting some, and I want to take it easy on them.

DAY 41 (yesterday)
Weight: 180
I will try and get measurements again soon, I seem to have lost my calipers and body tape. Visually I'm continuing to lean out the fat, and filling in with muscle. I'm very happy with the results, although there is plenty of work left.

Should have taken 4 rpm today, it was a lackluster performance in the gym.

I've narrowed my knee pain down to my left ACL. Not sure what to do about it, trying to take it easy on the knee. I've never experience any joint paint before this latest attempt at getting back into shape, and that includes years of soccer, cross country, and wrestling. Guess I shouldn't have let myself get out of shape... (or is it the getting older thing? probably both).
I have no way of knowing if cissus is working. My fractured hand seemed to heal fast, and when I initially went on cissus, some joint discomfort seemed to go away, but after a few hard pavement runs its back.

waist: 35.5 (-1.5")
weight: 178 (-4)
looks like the weight is starting to come down.
dosing: standard, 3 RPM. I definitely don't get a huge kick in the pants off of 3RPm like I would with 4, but it is enough to get me going and in the gym. I like that at 3, my sleep schedule isn't effected at all. I forgot the cordygen again for some reason, and again it was noticeable at the end of the workout when I had no desire for cardio. I really like the cordygen.

Question (on the off chance people are still following along).
I have some resveratrol (50%) coming in today. My options:
1. Add it right away in the high dose (oxo extreme kind of dose).
2. Add it right away in standard long term health supplement dose.
3. Wait until this stack is out altogether, then do one of the above.
Good news this morning:
BF: 10.7%
Waist: 35.3 "

Going to keep working at it, and I'm glad to see some weight coming off even though I haven't changed anything.

Closing out this log now. RPM is out, the rest is almost gone, and I'm ready for the end review.
dosing: 2 RPM in the day, 3 RPM before workout, rest was standard
workout
Felt great, very driven. I had a very fun, but very bad weekend (ie the long weekend was fantastic but I didn't workout at all). so I was ready to get back to the gym.

So some up, some down, main movement stayed the exact same.
I loved the stack. Saw great improvements in both strength, cardio, and body composition. I'll post the starting and ending stats soon.
Closing out this log now. RPM is out, the rest is almost gone, and I'm ready for the end review.
dosing: 2 RPM in the day, 3 RPM before workout, rest was standard

Felt great, very driven. I had a very fun, but very bad weekend (ie the long weekend was fantastic but I didn't workout at all). so I was ready to get back to the gym.

Thanks RMS 
Here is the final review.
STATS:
---------starting--------ending-----total change
DL max: 285------------315----------+40
3 mile run: 28 min-------25min-------- -3mins
BF:--------13.9% ------- 10.3% ------- -3.6%
weight: 182 lbs---------- 177lbs-------- -5lbs
right arm: 14.75"---------15"------------ +.25"
waist (at navel): 37"-----35.3"--------- -1.7"
Bench 2RM-----2x185-----2x215--------- +40lbs
mil press 2RM--2x130----- 2x135--------- +5lbs
Heading into the 6th week or so I started to lose some steam. I have a number of theories, but despite motivation the numbers kept improving for the most part.
Those numbers should speak for themselves. It simply would not have happened without the help of the stack.
RPM: I would call this backbone of the stack. When I didn't have motivation, it gave me motiviation (you can't get results if you don't actually go to the gym). This scenario played out many times: I would come home from work feeling worn out with no interest in going to the gym, but I would pop some RPM anyways. After a half hour I would suddenly become EAGER to go, and when I get there the workouts would be intense. I had a little bit of interference on my sleep, but it was very minor. I also noticed some of the libido enhancing effects. RPM is a winner.
Cordygen5: I felt noticeably stronger on my runs after starting this. I also noticed a very good mood altering effect, similar to poseidon. When I forgot to take it before the gym, I noticed my endurance would be down and I would get more tired towards the end of a workout (and even skip things like the cardio or abs).
KreacepsXS: I can't say unequivocally that this is better than any other creatine out there, but it certainly worked for me. The addition of cordygen5 and rhodalia rosea makes a very potent blend.
Incarnate: Cissus couldn't save my knee pain that flared up suddenly in the middle of this log, but overall I had no other joint issues. The beta alanine/betain mix must have helped me leaning out, as I don't think I would have lost that much fat otherwise. I also noticed an improvement in my endurance. Excellent product.
The only drawback to this stack is that it was fairly expensive. I would be interested in running a month of similar bulk products to see what results I get then.
I will likely run these products again in the future in spite of the price, I'm very pleased with the results. I'm a healthier happier individual because of them. I will have a metabolic panel to post up as a comparison to this time last year. I had the blood drawn on friday. If the results are of any interest I will post them.
I hope everyone enjoyed my log, I thoroughly enjoyed it myself. My next log won't be for a long while, as my funds are too tight from recently purchasing a new home.
