and if you ever can't make it to the gym, you can just curl the bottle, or do one arm snatches with it. The WF bottle is quite girthy.

Its cool Im used to girth..(no homo?):lol:

Thanks 3clipse! In case you're not aware of what a Viking Grip is, it's grabbing the machine by the outer rail, off the handle.

I see i see.. hhhmmmm.. Like a hammerstrength high row machine or the likes? May have to try that!

YES!! You would think that Viking Grip on that hammer high row would be a width movement, because you grip out so wide, but it actually really hits the two train tracks that are the rear traps REALLY well.

Those two pythons slithering down from the base of the neck down the upper back contracts the hardest in that movement. My workout partner and I had a muscle touch test. (no homo) I like to "feel" and see which muscles are contracting when I do new movements, so I was checking different parts of my workout partners back on his turn and those two rear rail roads contracted the hardest and peaked out the most during that exercise.

haha cool bit of info, weird way of discovering it. ill have to try the viking grip on back moves.

sam, you know the hammer strength row machine at la verne la fitness. next to the t-bar i think. id just like to say, that i really miss that machine. the equivalent at 24 hour doesnt compare in my opinion.
 
Awesome intro / first day Sam. I have a question. Do you think the slower onset of parasthesia has any benefits??? Perhaps prolonged enhanced nutrient uptake???

Bam, day 1 in the books.

The paresthesia was slower to come on then the powder. Of course the powder (white) floods the system all at once, while the pills sort of dissolve like a drip.

Powder paresthesia usually kicked in as soon as 10 min on an empty stomach and would spike around 30 min. Caps paresthesia kicks in around 20 min, but its slow to peak. I don't think my paresthesia fully kicked in until 65-70min. I felt all the positive symptoms intra workout, but the blunt of the paresthesia didn't fully bloom for me until post workout (this time). Of course I didn't time my ingestion to the suggested 45 min pre-workout, it was more like 15 min pre.

Good day today. So far so great.

Grueling and inspiring workout as always Volcom!! :clap2: I have something to ask you. On those numbers I underlined underneath the Incline Machine Presses and the Incline Bench Presses, are you fatigued by the prior exercises or is that Incline Machine Press just hard as all Hel? You always seem to be able to lift more lbs. on the regular Incline Benches over the Machine variety. I know some machines are just plain hard. I've got a neighbor who likes to argue that machines are easier. I told him I could put him on a few machines that I have used in the past and they would prove harder than free-weights. I feel that a person needs to utilize both free-weights and machines to fully develop one's physique. Of course, most of you guys know that I'm a big Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates fan. Both utilized a lot of machine and cable work. So do I. Is it the Beta-Alanine in the WF that is causing this paresthesia? I haven't had any problems with BA yet. Keep up the awesome work Volcom. U Da Mayne!! :afro:
 
Good first day Sam. Geez, your first workout and I'm already like the 113th post (hope that's not like bad luck or something..actually 13 is my lucky #!)

Looking forward to your descriptiveness to come, love the beginning comparison to ECA stim. Keep doing this madness!
 
Solid workout and great detailed feedback and comparison with the WF Caps.

Not sure if I missed it, but do the caps contain the same exact ingredients as the powder WF?

In addition, how big are the caps and how many did you have to pop?
 
Good question
 
Awesome chest session, Volcom, and a kick-a$$ introductory day in the gym using White Flood ! Getting hella strong on them Hammer Inclines by now, man. Can you envision handling 5 plates each side soon !? $iiiiick !

I bet you'll have a fun time with the White Flood tabs. Personally, it's the most brilliant solution for pre-workouts, imho. So many drinks screw with my stomach prior to working out, that I've had to eliminate about half the pre-workouts out there as a result. I'm looking forward to trying the White Flood tabs myself; the same bang fo yo buck, and no stomach issues !

Anyway, keep it up, Sam ! We've got another eternal thread here, I believe. Lol

Click to expand...

Does a slower onset offer any benefits? Yes, in one perspective. Because the tablets dissolve and behave like a drip into your system, rather then a spike, the CAPS offer a kind of an automatic drive, intra-workout ingestion effect, which is hugely popular with this supplement.

One might bring up the concern, what if I prefer to experience the full effect BEFORE I go into the gym and not an intra-style effect? (As was my preferred method) Easy answer, wait 45 min post ingestion before arriving at the gym as the bottle suggests. I took my serving only 15 min pre, so I felt the effects onset as if I were "sipping" on White Flood Intra.

I think Thomas (Viking) liked doing both. He would take a serving pre, then take a serving intra. I believe that same idea can be achieved with the CAPS. Take a serving 45 min pre, let the CAPS mostly dissolve and be in full circulation, then take another serving right before you walk in the gym. Like I said, automatic-drive, intra effect.

Thanks Thunder,

To answer your first question about the underlined exercises, "Generally" as my routine progresses, my strength declines, and the only time my numbers on a "machine" may surpass my opening free weight lifts, are on hammer strength equipment. I started with hammer incline this time around, but the chest workout I performed prior to this session, incline hammer was my third exercise and I still crushed my opening exercises numbers.

With compound movements like chest or back, I really push myself to the brink, so my strength must inherently decrease as my workout progresses, otherwise, I'm not truly giving my 100%. Natural fatigue from giving it my all set after set.

Again, apart from Hammer Strength equipment, my machines performance will decline as I proceed further in my routine.

One of the great things about AM, is that people actually take the time to read what you write, perhaps not EVERYBODY, but a healthy enough amount that it makes it worth the time and effort to be detailed :cheers:

Thanks for taking the time to read, it's more then worth it to delineate for inquisitive minds.

I believe at the very least, the ingredients are exactly the same, I may have read somewhere or am mis-recalling, that there is a greater amount of nootropics, (more LSD for the fit), but don't quote me on that. I don't recall if I read that from a post by a rep or just from another Joe Plumber.

The CAPS are the same size as Blue GENE, perhaps a bit smaller, if that description does not work for you, then I'll compare them to pre '00 Amino Acid tabs, but not quite THAT big. The CAPS literally look like they had the powder filled into a forge of a pill, solidified it and whalla, (but I say that mostly because the pills are solid white, which reminds me of powder).

The FULL serving is 8 caps, so it takes me two swallows to get it down (that's what she said!... I had to get that out the way). The caps are larger then the norm, very reminiscent of Get Diesel caps, but the Caps are smooth and go down very easily (that's what she said! I know, i know).

Thomas (Edison) of the Viking Grip, at least for me, and hells to the yes I can imagine pushing 5 plates. The moment I successfully completed a set with 4 and a Quarter I was seeing 5 plates. I'm sure I could push out 2-3, maybe, maybe 4 reps right now, but what a waste of a quality set, unless I was currently, solely concerned about making strength adaption(s) (which is not the case) I will hopefully manage to pull off a quality set with 5 plates on that bless-ed incline hammer by the end of this log.

In case you missed it, I mentioned to everyone how you like to do WF pre workout and WF intra, and I mentioned how the CAPS behave in an intra manner, because they dissolve and slowly (by slow, I mean in comparison to drinking it all at once) go into circulation. Therefore, in order to achieve the same pre and intra effect, you could take your CAPS 45 min pre workout and again right before you walk inside, that way you have the full effect, and a continual drip (intra) effect while you're at the gym.

Reminds me of how I took the AEN IntraXCell. I'd do four caps 15-20 minutes pre-workout, and another four caps 20-30 minutes into my workout. That way, the Beta Alanine would be ready and absorbed by the time my cardio came about following my weight training sessions. Each time I did this, I would get a spurt of energy within the first 3-4 minutes of sitting on the stationary bike, I swore by the technique ! Now, this was for IntraXCell (Beta Alanine, NAC, ALA and Vit E. only), so I can only imagine how good it's got to feel and how potent its effects have to be having all them goodies in there White Flood as it is !
 
Volcom, a man I trust, you've got the option of either L-Glutamine or L-Leucine. Which do you choose, why, and how would you dose it?
 
Day 2 ..... What...The...Flood

I need to preface this session with two critical elements that may increase your appreciation for what went on today.

#1. I almost didn't workout today, because my day started at 5:45 a.m. I interned from 7:30am-11:00am, work from 11:30am-3:30pm and at this point I was still going to fight it out, but I had to run an errand for work which caused me to be stuck in hot, overtly congested, Southern California traffic for 3 hours. I caught rush hour at its peak. I had severe, traffic induced lethargy, I mean severe. I thought I wouldn't workout, but after taking my "final" dose of White Flood, something turned on mentally and I ended up going.

#2. What do I mean by "final?" I split my dosing today, 2/2/2/2. 2 caps at 5:35am, 2 caps at 11:15am, 2 caps at 3:00pm and 2 caps at 6:30p.m. Why did I split the caps? Because I "NEEEED" to let my body adjust to the Beta Alanine. I am ultra sensitive to paresthesia. If I were placed in a category of people labeled "hyper-sensitive to paresthesia" I would be considered sensitive in that group of hypers. Initially, I thought this split would have a less then optimal effect on my workout, but I this was not the case.

I am no newbie to Bulk Beta Alanine or White Flood. I understand that Beta Alanine like Creatine, has a saturation point where optimal benefits begin to take place. Therefore, I did not expect any kind of positive lactate threshold benefits to occur for another one to two weeks. At least nothing significant. However, I will say that I did not experience any lactic acid burning today, where I traditionally would have, and by traditional mean as recent as last weeks bi's workout.

For those who are not in the know. Lactic acid will prevent or severely inhibit your muscles ability to further contract, therefore, often times, lactic acid build up will be the cause for the ending of a set, rather then true muscle fatigue.

Please also note. For the past 4 days now, I have been double dosing Blue UP and I stopped Blue GENE 4 days ago. Any and all strength or muscle endurance benefits have long reached a stalemate and I don't mean that in a derogatory manner, it just means my benefits have been at a steady pinnacle for weeks now. Therefore, these new gains today are attributed some perhaps to the increased dosage of Blue UP and definitely, the lack of lactic acid as a result of the White Flood.

Lastly, I want you guys to know that I did not set up my opening exercise for success. Meaning, I did not set a beginning weight that I knew I would climb so drastically from. I will post a contrast from my previous Blue GENE log at the end, where I logged the exact same exercise, the last time I opened with this same exercise.

I'm going to post the same opening exercise from the last time I recorded that same exercise as an "opener" from my previous sponsored Blue GENE log.

A note about my dosing split and intra gym effects. Although I was not AS pumped, immediately pre-workout, once I got moving, the benefits I received, including focus felt as if I'd taken my full serving pre workout.

I will eventually build up to a full 8 caps pre workout, but right now, I need to build up in this split dose fashion.

This contrast I'm about to post is not actually an "opening exercise," however, it was the best performance I had on this exercise up to that point from this previous log. You can all double check me, but 99% of you were already there.

This is from page 59 of my previous log, which puts this about two weeks ago.

3 things changed from this last session to this. #1. I've ceased the Blue GENE, #2. I've double dosed the Blue UP, #3. I've started WF Caps.

I theorize, my previous performances at this machine was stopped short by lactic acid, not because I've gotten SO MUCH stronger in two weeks. I recall talking about how my bi's would burn at the start of this exercise and the burn would subside. I did not experience ANY burning today, only an integral lack of ability to contract.

I'm chalking today's mystery to some effect on the lactate threshold, because I don't recall these major boosts in strength in any other kind of reality.

What The Flood, for sure.
 
For those of you who are new to my logs and foreign to my training style. I have a tendency to hit an abnormally high amount of volume in the vertical preacher. WF Caps did not all of a sudden give me super man endurance out of the blue. I'm going to post a 3 workout progression so you have an idea of what I "normally" do, that way my numbers don't seem so far fetched.

When I first performed these, I started my first set at 60lbs and built up to 140lbs I believe.

I found it, my first attempt at this, this was not easy to dig up, but I felt it was necessary in order to show some legitimacy to my "story" pg. 21 of my last log if you want to check me. This was probably week two of my original sponsored 30 days of Blue GENE.

Again, it could have been a culmination of many things. If Blue GENE did in fact have an effect on mitochondria development/adaption, then I would have developed mitochondria in volume, rather then size, as a result of my training protocol. Would BA have an effect on exploiting that? I don't know, but it is what it is. I hope I've tried enough to show I'm not BS'ing. I don't want to over hype WF and lose all credibility as an objective tester, which is why I'm trying to brain storm and include any other factors, such as increased mitochondrial volume (from Blue GENE), and increased Blue UP intake that may have aided in today's extraordinary performance.

Thanks guys,

Looking at these numbers and the potential that I shocked MYSELF with, it looks like a good starting weight might be right around 150lbs, which I'll try next time. My "aim" when it comes to volume is normally 4-6 sets, usually 4, but when I feel myself performing better then I expected, then I'll generally continue that exercise set by set until my repetition range drops too low.

I can usually push further into a set with isolated movements such as bi's, but chest, back and legs usually stick around 4-5 sets max.
 
Volcom, that's some of the largest weight increases in such a short period of time that I think I have ever heard of. Absolutely incredible. A 40 lb. jump in 2 weeks??!! You and viking are gonna make me destroy myself in an attempt to keep up with you youngbloods!! LOL I've still got some divinity down deep that I have never attempted to tap into. Emergency reserves if you will. I guess it's time that I use more of the Odin-Force!! :box: Way to go Volcom. You are a huge inspiration to many of us here. Your knowledge is very valuable to all of us. Keep up the outstanding work my brother!! :thumbsup:

Thanks Thunder, you're still AM's biggest encourager! I'm not sure how much of that jump was sheer strength. Perhaps an increase in muscle endurance and/or increased confidence/perceived ability to perform or a combination of all and everything. The lack of lactic acid really allowed me to press on to the heavy weights without diminished ability to perform repetitions. It's an outrageous improvement to myself!

I'm taking 6 grams of beta-alanine (plus a sh!tload of other stuff) in my Lightening Strike pre-workout drink. I'm already noticing this lactic acid buffering you speak of. It's very nice. I'm already pumping out more reps. I'm turning some of my back off sets into "widowmakers" of 20 reps even on stuff like leg curls, leg extensions, arm curls, etc... It's great fun. This BA stuff kicks stuff like arginine and creatine right in the balls. :nutkick: I can't believe I haven't tried it before now. :fool2:
 
Jeez man, 40lb increase in a few weeks on curls??? Your a beast... oh, and after that long day you had... I would've thrown in the towel and hit the sheets. My hats off to you for steel determination
 
Day 3

I hit shoulders today and since I'm trying to transition to heavier load lifting, my shoulder exercises had a big emphasis on strength and stability, so please excuse the lack of isolation movements.

Seated Military Press
135lbs x 12 reps
155lbs x 10 reps
185lbs x 8 reps
205lbs x 6 reps

Seated Military Press - Behind The Neck
135lbs x 8 reps
145lbs x 8 reps
145lbs x 6 reps
135lbs x 8 reps

Hammer Shoulder Press
180lbs x 12 reps
200lbs x 12 reps
220lbs x 7.5 reps
240lbs x 6 reps

Neutral Grip Shoulder Press, machine
130lbs x 12 reps
150lbs x 10 reps
170lbs x 8 reps
190lbs x 6 reps

Behind The Neck Shoulder Press, machine
150lbs x 12 reps
170lbs x 10 reps
190lbs x 8 reps
210lbs x 6 reps

Shoulders are notorious for the burn and an after burn, which I call residual burning. Residual burning is when your shoulders continue to burn for 20-30 seconds after you've completed the set. Again, there was the lack of burning or lactic acid based, diminishing of reps.

Today was not a "What The Flood" phenomenon like bi's last night, but it was still good. I did do a split dose again, but much closer together. 2 caps@6:30am, 2 caps@8:20am (my 8:30a.m. client didn't show), 2 caps@9:00a.m., and intra at 9:45 a.m.

Due to the proximity of my doses, I really payed dearly in paresthetic torment. I really hate my uber sensitivity to BA. Oh well, once I get used to it in about a week or so it won't be so bad.

My next split dose phase will be 2 caps@AM, 2 caps@afternoon, 4 caps@pre-workout, and eventually work my way up to 8 caps pre.

Thanks RR, but again, there HAS to be plenty of other mediating variables to explain that dramatic increase. Perhaps I simply was not giving it my full 100% effort the past few times, and the focus effect from the WF helped me to truly give it my all. It has to be SOMETHING, I've been lifting too long to swallow THIS drastic of a sheer strength improvement MYSELF.

Maybe I was swinging too much or over-drawing the weight with my upper back or over elevating with my front delts, I don't know.

I'm not complaining, I just don't want my log to seem like Mythology Hour at AM, although Thunder might be okay with that.
