Rebirth
BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com This will be a log of ~8 weeks of my Leptigen: Rebirth and Sesathin use. I will be carb cycling throughout. I'm going to list my meals probably for just the first High/Low/No cycle, and then list diet only when something changes (which is rare). Training logs will be kept daily.
I'll be taking measurements every week, with pics at the start and end of the 8 weeks. Fortunately for everyone here, the pics aren't gonna get posted... only lucky TP gets those. ![]() Stats - Male, 20 years, 6'5" Weight as of this morning, after yesterdays no carb: 235lbs Stomach, around navel: 40.5" Right arm: 16.5" Left arm: 16.25" Right quad: 26" Left quad: 25.8" Neck: 16.75" BF: 21-23% (using 3 point caliper) Current supplement usage looks like this: Upon waking (30-60 mins before each meal) - 2.4g ALCAR 4.8g Piracetam 1.2g NAC 650mg Phosphatidylserine 300mg Alpha-GPC (will be adding 1st dose of Rebirth here) I'll list how these affect me, as a reference for anything new from the LG/Sesathin: ALCAR - Very noticable effects, highly increased concentration, begins to taper off after 2-3 hours. I've been treated for ADD in the past, and ALCAR seems to give near adderall like effects. Piracetam - Not noticable. My attack dose was around ~7g/day for a week. I'm staying on it for several reasons: 1, its cheap. 2, apparently its effects increase somewhat the longer its used... so perhaps coming off it after a couple months will be more noticable than my initial usage. 3, i dont want to change my supplementation right before i start evaluationg the LG/sesathin. NAC - My liver values have been queer for a while; specifically concerning elevated bilirubin. Had slight cases of jaundice in the eyes come and go over the past couple years. Jaundice has cleared somewhat since i began, but i havent had any recent blood work to confirm anything. Cheap anti-oxidant, too. ![]() Phosphatidylserine - Jurys out on this. I began it because i had a feeling my cortisol levels were out of whack. I was probably just being a hypochondriac... lol. One thing i will say is that it seems to have lessened mood swings. Things that would normally set me off are less likely to do so... or if they do, i dont fester on them as much/at all. I also noticed a bizarre, intoxicated feeling that lasted ~25 minutes when i took 2g of it. Eventually i'm going to knock the dosing down to only on no carb days, see if anything changes. Alpha-GPC - This, along with lecithin and some choline bitrate in my multi is just my choline source. Never taken it on its own, but i wouldnt expect much from it in that case anyway. Also take a multi vit/min with first meal, 6g epa/dha spread throughout the day with 4 meals. Will be dropping this to ~2g/day with 2 meals. Post w/o i take a b-complex with my meal. And 2x daily i take ~6g creatine. Things i take only rarely: melatonin before bed (only if im otherwise wired), E/C pre-workout (only if im otherwise tired) I think thats about it... oh yeah, im also extremely anal. And i tend to babble on. And im fat. Yeah, im done. Enjoy. |

Ha, i knew i was forgetting something:
I'll be dosing the sesathin at 1/2 cap 3x/day. The rebirth will be 1 scoop 4x/day. At that dosing they'll both run out at the 8 week mark. |

Thanks everyone!
Training for 4/19: Chest/Biceps DB bench - 60lbx10 75lbx8x4 65lbx7 Decline BB - 135lbx11x8x9 (slight assist last rep last set) Incline smith - 90lbx14x9x9 Pec dec - 120lbx10x8 100lbx10 --- Alternating seated DB curl - 20lbx10 30lbx12x10x8 Hammer curls - 25lbx10 20lbx10x10 Conc. curls - 20lbx13/11x10/8 (right/left) Jumped in and did a set of hammer machine preacher curls with someone right at the end... like 70lbx9? ![]() --- Eh, strength is in the gutter as usual. I'm getting used to it. Went really fast again today (you're getting to me, P-funk ). Lifted with a buddy doing you go i go for chest, then with bi's the RI's were around 30s.No noticable effects from the sesathin or rebirth during the workout. Although i did feel like i had quite a bit of energy, more so than usual, especially after doing such short RI stuff. The synephrine, maybe? |

Today's (typical) high carb day:
I should also note that im following a High/Low/No/High/Low/Low/No schedule. Also, that 2nd dose of sesathin was too soon, i had meant to take it midway through the day. First impressions... DAMN, LEPTIGEN IS TASTY! I think tossing back a mouthful of piracetam powder every morning had me a bit jaded. I was almost tempted to mix up the whole damn cannister of Rebirth. ![]() The powder is thin, and does seem to puff up a bit if you aren't careful. As for its ability to signal a fed state... well, a high carb day isnt the best day to critique that. Really the only time on a high carb day i feel hungry is around 2 hours after my post w/o meal. Didnt get that today, so.... As for the Sesathin... cant say ive noticed any of the reported sides. I was warm today, and was sweating a bit... but it was also around 80 degrees all day, and i was doing a lot of yard work. Oh, i got some gas about an hour ago. ![]() |

Training for 4/20: Quads
Trap bar deadlifts - 135lbx10 225lbx10x10x8 Incline leg press - 450lbx10x10x10 Hammer unilateral plate loaded leg extensions - 25lbx10x8x7 Squats - barx10 95lbx10 --- What a weird workout. Got pissed at myself w/ the trap bar deads. Was hoping to get 3 sets of 10, but my legs died on the last set. Managed to get it on the leg press, though... which bumps me up a few reps from last week there. First time trying the uni leg extensions, which i stole from P-Funk. While one leg is on the eccentric and concentric portion of the lift, the other leg is holding a static contraction. They felt pretty good. After i finished with that, i realized i still had a shitload of energy. Which is weird, normally leg day devastates me (yeah, even with those puny weights ). I actually figured id do a few sets of squats, but as i was working up the weight, i realized i had an apointment i was gonna miss, so had to haul ass out of there. Ri's were 60-90s.This is the second w/o i've had a noticable increase in energy. I'm not quite sure why... i havent read anything, or can think of any reason, that it would be the Rebirth. The only other thing ive changed somewhat recently is i started taking a digestive enzyme complex with my meals about a week ago (but didnt notice this energy boost w/ last weeks workouts). Maybe its just a fluke... i'll see how it goes for the rest of the week. |

That is horse shit. You let yourself die at 8 reps on that last set and you know it. If you hit 10 for the first to sets I find it hard to believe that you hit ABSOLUTE failure and couldn't get 2 more on the third set. Don't be so quick to give in. Mentally tell yourself "two more...i can do it......pull it together" and at the end of that you can puncutate it with my line that I yell "I GOT IT....C'MON YOU FUCKER..." the I spit on the floor pick my head/chin up decend down, lead with my chest and drive my hammies and glutes through the floor. I bet, if you really talked yourself up, that last set you could have hit TOTAL faliure at 15 reps!!! I know it.

jen- I would love to train with you guys (you, Jodi, mono, Premier..and others). it woul dbe so fun. I think you guys would hate me afterwards though. I am really anal about form and making sure everything is in full ROM. Most people don't like to train with me because I have no problem calling someone out. Come to NYC and see for yourself.
