The Primed ultra is scheduled to be arriving tomorrow, Thursday the 23rd. I plan to start it on Monday the 26th

[AtownKing187]

awesome start man!

[garret]

awesome start man!

thankss

[garret]

The Primed Ultra came in yesterday and as I said earlier, I will still be starting the log and the product on Monday. I can't wait!! This should be a great month of workouts.

[garret]

Day 1

WOW! What a great workout. I took my two Primed Ultra pills at 10:30 and every 3 or so minutes after that I was looking at the clock just waiting for it to be time to workout. Finally 11:00 rolled around and I hit the weights. I was pumped throughout my entire body during the entire workout. Also the mental intensity and focus was great. Normally i take 2-3 minute rests between sets but not today. On average I rested 1-2 minutes between sets. After the workout I was still in the mindset of wanting to do something so got to work and started cleaning my room lol. I never clean my room. Well here were my lifts today. No personal records, but I'm quite sure there will be many in the near future. :)

Heavy
Squat - 5x5- 105x5, 210x5, 240x5, 270x5, 300x5
Bench - 5x5- 95x5, 190x5, 220x5, 250x5, 275x5
Power Clean - 5x5- 90x5, 180x5, 205x5, 230x5, 255x5

[AtownKing187]

awesome.... so how do you like your Primed Ultra so far?

[garret]

Day 3

Another really great workout produced by Primed Ultra. The workout lasted its usual 45 minutes. This workout was just as intense as the last workout. Good thing I workout at home because otherwise there might have been some people thinking I?m crazy lol. Again no PR's but I usually get PR?s on Mondays (Heavy days) when im testing my 5 rep max. One negative thing I did notice though was my knees were hurting a bit from Mondays workout. I had pretty bad knees from baseball (I was a catcher) and I stopped running about 6 months ago. I started using a recumberment bike instead to help my knees out and I havent felt the pain since. This might be a coinsidence that the pain started back up but I will have to see if it continues. The pain might also be from taking shorter rests on Mondays workout. I went back to regular rest periods between sets today so we'll see how thing work out.

Here are todays lifts:

Light
Squat - 5x5 (105, 150, 180, 210, 240 of Monday?s 5RM)
Bench - 5x5 (95, 135, 165, 195, 220 of Monday?s 5RM)
Power Clean ?5x5 (90, 125, 155, 175, 205 of Monday?s 5RM)

[garret]

Day 4

Rest day

The only thing I have to report is a little bit of soreness in my pecs. I love feeling sore (except for when its in my joints). I rarely ever feel sore but it must have been for a pretty intense workout yesterday

[garret]

Day 5

Nothing unusual to report becuase I had another great workout. My knees are feeling better so it must have been from the decreased rest periods between sets. So far, using Primed Ultra three times, I would have to say it has great energy, focus and pumps. I can't speak on behalf of the increased power because I am yet to do another "heavy day". another great quatilty I have noticed by Primed Ultra is the anit-fatigue effect. It feels like I could do an extra 10 sets on each muscle. anyways, here are todays lifts.


Medium
Squat - 5x5 105x5,180x5, 210x5, 240x5, 270x5
Bench Press - 5x5 95x5, 160x5, 190x5, 220x5, 250x5
Power Clean ?5x5 90x5, 155x5, 180x5, 205x5, 230x5

[garret]

Day 6 and Day 7

Rest Days

Day 6
I used Primed Ultra today for the first time with cardio. It was really an extra kick in the ass while i was on the bike (A good thing). I had so much more energy. Most of the time, while I'm doing my cardio, I will start to think about other things and slow down a bit. Lets just say there was no slowing down :D

Day 7
I will not be doing cardio and will not be comsuming Primed Ultra for any reason. No news to report

[garret]

Day 8

Broke through two of my 5RM PR's! It was great, I had so much energy. I was very well rested from the weekend and definatly was in the "zone" while working out. It definatly felt great going up in weight on squats and bench. Here were todays lifts....

Heavy
Squat - 5x5- 115x5, 215x5, 245x5, 275x5, 310x5 +10
Bench - 5x5- 100x5, 195x5, 225x5, 255x5, 280x5 +5
Power Clean - 5x5- 90x5, 180x5, 205x5, 230x5, 255x5

[garret]

So far I'm really liking it. Great pumps, focus, energy ect..... Everyting it claims I have definatly seen an increase of. The main thing that I'm curious to see is if it lasts the whole 30 days. If so, I am definatly going to plan on purchasing Primed Ultra in the future

[garret]

Day 10

Nothing unusual to report. Product is still working great. Awesome pumps, energy focus ect.... Can't wait for Monday to see if I get any new PR's :D

[garret]

Day 11

Rest Day - Cardio Session

Today I decided I would try Primed Ultra before cardio. As on a training day, I got the feeling of alertness and focus about 20 min after taking the suggested dosage. I finished my usually somewhat hard cardio session with ease. My cardio today lasted 30 minutes at an average speed of 15 mph on the recumberment bike. I never noticed the pump in my legs untill I stepped off the bike and could barely walk because my legs were so fat :D It's a great feeling. Well I still havent decoded whether or not I want to use my Primed Ultra on cardio. I will probably only use it on cardio when I need the extra "kick".

[garret]

Day 12

Well, another great workout. My workout lasted about 45 minutes as usual. The weight seems to be going up really easily so I will most likely have some PR's on Monday :D. Aside for my workout there have been some thing that i have noticed since starting Primed Ultra. I usually workout around 5-6pm and go to bed around 930-10pm. I have had troubles falling sleep most nights. usually I fall asleep nearly instantly but ever since I started taking Primed Ultra It take a about 30 min -1 hour to fall asleep. I'm guessing this is from the caffein? Another thing I have noticed is that during my classes I get extremely tired. I am on the verge of falling asleep at almost every class at some point. I dont think this is a result from 30 minutes less sleeping because I'm still getting 8-9 hours of sleep each and every night. Could an **** rep please help me out on these questions. Thanks

Todays lifts:

Medium
Squat - 5x5 115x5,190x5, 220x5, 250x5, 280x5

[garret]

Day 15

As I expected, I increased weight on all three lifts today :) Im pretty stoaked about that. This doesn't happen to me very often. Primed Ultra has definatly been giving me that extra "boost" to pull out those extra reps. Here are todays lifts....

[garret]

Day 16

Rest Day - Cardio Session

Today I needed that extra boost during my cardio so I decided to take Primed Ultra. The cardio lasted 30 minutes at a fairly high intensit. I definatly broke quite a swear. Afterall it's been really hot here in San Diego. High 80's in mid-March. Huge pump in my legs after my cardio and it was a real challenge to walk. :D

[garret]

Day 17

Very good day at the gym. Pretty Good energy levels, and focus. Great pump. Nothing outragous to report. Looking forward to next workout.

[garret]

Day 20 and Day 21

Rest Days- Cardio Sessions

Day 20
30 minutes of quite intense cardio on the recumberments bike. I used Primed Ultra for a bit of a pick-me-up. Wasn't the best cardio session ever but it got the job done.

Day 21
Again, I used Primed ultra for cardio. Its getting addicting :) I feel that if I don't use the Primed Ultra for my cardio session, it won't be a beneficial workout. Well, one thing to note, when using Primed Ultra while doing cardio, it makes the 30 minutes go by faster. Not quite sure why, but it does.

[AtownKing187]

Doing good man! p.s. I hate cardio on 5x5...cuz im sore from the day before..

[garret]

Doing good man! p.s. I hate cardio on 5x5...cuz im sore from the day before..

Yea, I agree. I dont neccesarily look forward to the weekends when it come to having to do cardio.

[garret]

Day 22

Oh man. Today I put Primed Ultra to the test. I had commited myself to be somewhere in the afternoon so I had to workout before clases. I woke up at 5:30am to get my workout in. Yes, I was extremely tired, But yes, I had a great workout. :) I pulled off another three PR's. I was definatly very happy with that.

Heavy
Squat - 5x5- 130x5, 230x5, 260x5, 290x5, 325x5 +10
Bench - 5x5- 115x5, 215x5, 240x5, 265x5, 295x5 +10
Power Clean- 5x5- 100x5, 190x5, 215x5, 240x5, 270x5 +5

[garret]

No use of Primed Ultra

[garret]

Day 24

Today was a pretty easy workout. Latsed about 35 minutes. Had a good pump through and lots of energy and focus.

NOTE: I will be leaving on a snowboarding trip from Thursday to Saturday. I will not but consuming Primed Ultra.

Todays lifts:

Light
Squat - 5x5 - 125, 175, 205, 235, 265
Bench - 5x5 - 115, 160, 190, 220, 245
Power Clean - 5x5 - 100, 135, 165, 185, 215

[garret]

Day 25, 26, 27

Snowboarding Trip :)

There was no comsumption of Primed Ultra or any workouts, but I did have a great time.

[garret]

Day 28

Rest Day- Cardio Session

I did use Primed Ultra for my cardio today. The cardio session lasted 16 minutes of all out intensity. I was soaked is sweat. It was a great cardio session.

[garret]

Day 29

I know that your not supposed to go over the reccomended consumption of 2 caps per day but I did it anyway. I thought that there should be at least one trial of double dosing Primed Ultra so I did it. I took 4 Caps today 30 minutes before my workout. Energy levels were somewhat higher than normal. Focus stayed about the same. The real noticable eefect of double dosing this product was the pumps. The normal pumps I get would get a rating of about 7.5/10 but with double dosing PU, I would have to give it a 9/10. I also broke a few PR's.

Heavy
Squat - 5x5- 135x5, 235x5, 265x5, 295x5, 330x5 +5
Bench - 5x5- 120x5, 220x5, 245x5, 270x5, 300x5 +5
Power Clean- 5x5- 100x5, 190x5, 215x5, 240x5, 270x5

[garret]

Day 30

Rest Day- Cardio Session

Once again I used Primed Ultra for my cardio session. The cardio only lasted 20 minutes because I was pressed for time. The 20 minutes definatly was enough to kick my ass though :) Over good focus but energy was a bit lower than usually. I think I might be getting a bit used to the caffein.

[garret]

Day 31

Bad news guys :( I pulled my back muscle helping lift a new refrigerator into my parents house. There is an extreme sharp pain in my lower back whenever I move a certain direction. I went to the doctor and she confirmed that I pulled my back muscle. I cant have any exercise for 10-14 days which is a huge bummer for me.

I only have 4 or 5 more days or primed ultra, but I'm going to leave it up to you FitnFirm. Would you like me to do my final review on Primed Ultra now (withing the next few days) or would you like me to finish up logging the last few days and finishing the log then (That would be about 20 days from now).??

*Primed Ultra Final Review*

http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/2961/primedultralg1vg2.jpg


Energy & Focus (8/10)
The energy and focus was definatly noticeable. Whenever I took Primed Ultra I always found myself thinking about the next set. Even on those days when I just didn't feel like going to the gym, Primed Ultra picked me up so I could get through with a pretty good workout. From the few Pre-workout supplements I have tried, I would have to say it gave, me personally, better energy than Body octane, yet less energy than the original formula of NO-Xplode.


Stamina & Power (8.5/10)
Another above average quality of Primed Ultra. I was doing a 5x5 program while on Primed Ultra, and went up in all of my lifts. The energy combined with the stamina and power enabled me to shoot through old PR's almost every week. Here are how my lifts increased.

------Beginning-----End
------(2-26-07)---(3-26-07)
Squat - 300x5-----> 330x5 +30lbs
Bench - 275x5-----> 300x5 +25lbs
Power Clean-255x5--> 270x5 +15lbs


Muscle Volumization (9/10)
I don't know anyone that doesn't love a good pump. Well, Primed Ultra does just that. On the 5x5 program you wouldn't expect to get a very good pump considering that you are doing very low reps and barely ever go to failure. This was a different story with Primed Ultra. Even though I'm not working my arms directly while on 5x5, I still felt a solid pump throughout my workout. One minus is that I didnt feel the pump much after the workout. The pump is good while it lasts, but it dies shortly after the workout. On one day out of the log I tried double dosing Primed Ultra. Most everything stayed about the same, except the pump. When double dosing Primed Ultra, the pump is a 10/10. Enough said. Here are my size increases:

Measurements
-------Before-------After
Weight: 180lbs---->185lbs +5
BF: 10-12 %------>10-12%
Height: 5'10.0" --->5'10.0"
Waist: 32"-------->32?" +?
Thighs: 30"------->30?" +?
Calves: 16"------->16"
Chest: 50" ------->50?" +?
Forearms: 14"----->14"
Arms: 16" -------->16? +?
Shoulders: 24''---->24?" +?
Hips: 32" --------->32"
Neck: 14"--------->14"


Anti-Fatigue (7/10)
This is a decent product for anti-fatigue. It was difficult to tell because my workouts were anything but high volume. Although ,I did notice myself taking shorter rests between sets. Usually ever friday I would throw in some arm work if I had time (3x8). I never had to lower the weigh during those three sets. Before I used Primed Ultra occasionally I would have to lower the weight about 5 pounds.


Price (8/10)
The price is about average for Pre-workout supplements. Although 30 servings at $1.17 a piece, with such a solid product, it turns out to be a pretty good deal.



Overall Thoughs:
I would definatly purchase this product again. It might just become a staple of mine :D I truley believe this is in the top 3 best pre-workout supplement I have ever purchased. Well, sorta purchased ;) Thanks again FitnFirm for letting me have the opportunity to log this great product.
