I affirm that I am a healthy individual and I acknowledge I have been told to seek the
advice of your healthcare provider BEFORE using this or any other supplement.

I will be doing a single entry. My main reason is that I will have minor surgery and
have been told to not exercise - even running - for two (2) full weeks after, to allow
the dissolvable as well as external stitches to heal.

#1 A paragraph about you, your training, experience, expectations from this workout /
month, anything you want to say about you.
I am 47 years old and have been training since I was 13. I originally saw Arnold on TV
with the debut of "Pumping Iron" when I was around 9 and the image of him and
then Lou Ferrigno in "The Incredible Hulk" left a lasting impression on me.
I've been to a couple of Weider's Training Camps, where I've trained with the stars (Cory Everson, Bill Pearl, Lenda Murray, Bob Paris, Jim Quinn, Bev Francis, Shawn Ray, Berry DeMey). I tried this routine first to get a feel of what weight I should use before
actually doing it for the contest. Super pump! Can't wait to try it with No-Beta. That
stuff has the most pump of any NO product I've ever tried!

#2 A statement about Triceps ? your current goals ? your triceps deficits anything
related Since triceps are the larger of the upper muscle, approximately 3/5, more size is attainable by concentrating more on that muscle than the Biceps. My current goal is to build them back to where I was during my "peak" - near 17 inches, flexed. I
think that the lateral head is extremely hard to over-develop. In fact, IMO, Kevin
Levrone had the best/largest lateral head I've ever seen - freaky.

#3 A statement about your first workout and when it?s going to be.
I plan on doing my first workout this weekend. As I stated before, I did a first, intro
session using this routine to guage where I should keep the weights. the 2.5 peak
contraction definitely makes a difference. Workout to begin ain a few minutes on March 7, 2010.

#4 A statement about the workout itself particularly about the techniques to be used.
As I stated here as well as posts on bb.com. This is a great routine. I personally
feel the difference between a V-bar cable pushdown and one with a rope (with a twist) --
it affects the lateral head more because you are pushing out more. The [decline] Lying
Triceps Cable Extension is an excellent choice because it keeps continuous stress on
the triceps, especially the long head. I add the decline, specifically for that added
benefit. Another way to add keeping continuous tension is to push out, and not direct
overhead, where overhead ends the same as a flat bench. In that case, the weight is
not support by muscle, but the bones; however, that does allow blood to flush back
into the area. But we want maximum pump and pain, don't we?? The concept of
three trisets of PC/FRM sets is quite sound and I've used this pattern for virtually all
other bodyparts and have had great success alternating short periods of these with
regular heavy sets.

Finished the Trashing Triceps workout. I had done the workout without NO-Beta about 5 days prior to judge about what should be my weght during the workout. That workout was very good, but it didn't compare with the first set using NO-Beta. Today when I used the NO-Beta ( 6 tabs about 20 minutes before), I had a slight pump after the warmup and felt very strong. I don't get a tingle from Beta-Alinine, but I flush/blush a little, so I can tell it is working. My 11 year old daughter video taped me during the entire routine. I did the first triset and got what I thought would be half my pump for the day. My arms felt real tight - a distinct, noticable difference. Rested a minute and did the next set and the pump was so tight, I had to drop the weight during the full-range movement of the tricep extensions (first exercise). I also had to stop for about 3 seconds in-between the rope pushdowns (3rd exercise) with peak-contraction and those with full-range motion. Finished the second triset and had my full pump (or at least I thought so). My triceps were screaming while being engorged with blood. During the third triset, I again had to drop the weight by 10 lbs in-between the peak-contraction and full-range movement. I also couldn't complete 8, so after 5, I rest-paused for 3 seconds and completed the final 3. Intense skin stretching - felt like helium was inflating my arms, but they didn't feel light - a little heavier than usual. On the second exercise, I also had to stop for about 3 seconds in-between the v-bar pushdowns between peak-contraction and those with full-range motion. On the last exercise, rope extensions, I had to stop for about 3 seconds in-between the peak-contraction and the full-range motion reps. Finished. Triceps were spent - nothing left. I had the fan blowing on me and it was cool, but I was sweating pretty hard. My face was a little flushed - I'm sure due to the Beta-Alinine and my core temp was definetly up. My mind was racing what can I do in-between the sets and I was a little anxious to get the next set in, so I kept pumping between each set and stretching the triceps. I was thirsty about half-way through each triset and was very thirsty after each. (By the way, my thirst continued for about 4 hours afterward - not a dry, parched, thirst, but a desire for water). The pump was euphoric and was primarily on the triceps (obviously), but felt good in the biceps as well as the forearms. I took belore and after measurements and my arms were a solid 1/2 inch larger after the workout! Not only a visible indication of a great workout, but I had, as stated earlier, a euphoric feel in my arms, particulary the triceps. The routine is very thorough and you feel as if you were lifting for an hour. Had a little protein/carb drink. I still felt like I could tackle the world, so I did my back as well as the bulging biceps routine. No, it didn't increase the measurement again, but I still had/kept the 1/2 inch.

24 hours later -

Arms feel larger. but not much DOMS. Unusual for me - I usually have DOMS about 18-20 hours after a good workout, including Double-T routines and ones I've come up with that follow the same pattern.

My arms feel fuller and heavier - as if I'm flexing constantly. I also feel the need for stretching. Maybe I just need more rest or sleep. I'm sure the DOMS will set in before the 48 hour mark.

48 hours later. Not near as much soreness. Could be the stretching; could be hte NO-BETA.
My trial-run (without the NO-Beta) had A LOT of soreness after 24 hours.
Any contraction of the triceps feel full and solid.

So, after 48 hours, I kept roughly 1/2 of the additional pump in size or 1/4 inch.
I'm quite pleased with the results. I'll post final results with a link to the video tomorrow or the following day.

Wrap-up/Summary:

Totally impressed with both the NO-Beta as well as the triceps workout. As I stated before, I tried the triceps workout about 5 days earlier to judge what weights I should use on each exercise. The difference was like night and day. It was the same workout, but with NO-Beta, the difference was VERY-measurable. In fact, I had a pump of a half-inch! I kept this pump even after 48 hours, where it was still one-quarter of an inch.

Confession: During the pre-run of the workout, where I did the routine to judge what weight I should use in each exercise, I was using a different Nitric Oxide product, which I purchased before joining the group or trying NO-Beta for the Bulging Biceps routine. Again, the difference between other NO products and NO-Beta was that different - at least double the pump and far more focus and intensity available.

Pump: 10
Focus: 10
Intensity: 10
Workout: 10
Energy: 9
Motivation: 10

For some reason, the triceps did not have the "oozing-good" soreness that settled in like the Bulging Biceps after 20 hours or so. It is possible that I've become accustomed to these pump routines. Regardless of the anticipated pain, it was thoroughly enjoyable and I look forward to another session with NO-Beta.

When I am out of existing supplements, I will definitely order NO-Beta next.

My thanks to Paul and Double-T for the sample, the workouts, and the opportunity.
