Are you going to log this bro

 

[Amino89]

Haha, one of those days.I have had some of those myself lately. Rest, eat and you have enough knowledge to know it's a phase and the body just wasn't ready for it today. You have had some awesome gains and can't be distracted by one day.GOOD LUCK BRO
Knock it out tomorrow

Thanks zombul, appreciate it, today I bounced back a bit and workout was great.

I'm thinking of logging it. I am undecided as of yet. I have already been taking the anabolic pump for about 2 weeks so the log would not be totally from scratch but I think I will log the first 5 days just for myself and see if it looks good then maybe post it and keep it going!

 

[Lost Grizzly]

Good job on the hard work and training.

Even though the scale only shows 2 lbs increase you have to consider your strength went up and you BF dropped so your lean mass was probably more that 2 lbs.

Sounds worth it to me and keeping it safe.

Cool, how is the AP treating you?

Thanks, I'd definitely run it again in the future it has been very worthwhile for me.

Strength
Strength up again, set a couple PR's.

Pumps
Pumps were insane! I measured them, and arms swelled up to 17.5" post-workout! A full inch bigger, it looked like they were flexing when relaxed.

Adverse Side Effects
None.

DOMS
DOMS haven't been too bad this weekend.

Mood
Mood has been elevated the past couple days, definitely enjoying this aspect of the stack. The alpha male mentality is better then any pre-workout supplement, feels like you want to lift all the time.

Overall
Overall this workout was a good one, I've got 1 week and 1 day left on this stack, and I've been very impressed so far. I'm hoping to set quite a few PR's and gain 2 or more lbs. this week, we'll see how it goes.

 

[workingatit43]

Looking great bro. This has been a very detailed log

 

[GOtriSports]

Hey Amino once again thanks for the great log. You asked how the AP was treating me so I will let ya know! I took it for about 2 weeks just by itself and it was pretty good. I was having decent pumps. The more you eat (especially carbs) the greater the pumps have been.
Today is the third day I have been using the AP, Activate Xtreme, and Stoked. I have to say each day it is getting better and better. I was amazing at the pumps I had today at the gym. I was doing arms/chest (mostly combo movements) and it was really just insane. Most interesting were my forearms because I do not do anything to directly affect my forearms but by the time I was leaving they felt so massive they might explode. I also had some great chest and bicep pumps.
And you are right the Alpha male feeling is great with these products. I didn't expect to see it so fast but in between sets at the gym I noticed I was pacing around and scowling. Not because I was in a bad mood but because I wanted to beat the crap out of the weights. Anyway, the stuff has been great for me so far and I am only 3 days in!

Thanks bro! Only 8 days left, wish it was longer.

Nice! I'm glad your liking the stack so far. It just gets better and better from there, the alpha mentality is awesome! I tried P-Slin for pre-workout and loved it, AP looks very impressive as well. Keep us updated bro.

[size=+2]6 WEEKS IN! UPDATES! [/size]

[size=+1]Weight Gain:[/size]
173.0 lbs. I'm up 1.5 lbs from last week, Calories were at 4200 this week, and I managed to gain some pounds! I'm going to up the Calories to 4400-4500 for the last week on this stack and hopefully be up to 175 by the end of the 50 days. I'm not one to spike the Calories real fast just to gain weight, I'd rather take it slow and keep the majority of gains LBM, so it will be a big accomplishment for me to gain a full 5lbs. off this 50 day run.

Pumps:
Pumps have been nothing short but awesome this week, not too much that it has restricted ROM which is good.

DOMS:
I've still been feeling the pain of the DOMS, nearly every muscle is sore until about a day or two before working it again.

Mood/Alpha Male Mentality:
Mood has been great, and alpha male mentality has been very good, I look forward to the next workout all the time, and it's hard to get out of the gym after an hour.

Sleep:
Sleep has been good this week, still having VERY vivid dreams.

Strength:
WOW! I've been setting PR's all over the place this week, that Leg session was intense! I'm loving the strength gains and hopefully I can keep it up after this cycle.

Libido:
Definitely above normal, this part of the stack is finally starting to kick in.

Side Effects:
Increased sweating intra workout, DOMS.

Appetite:
Slight increase.

Overall:
Overall I'm happy about the 1.5 lbs. I gained this week, and the strength gains. I'm looking forward to hitting the weights hard the last week of the stack, and hopefully gaining another pound or two.
