SoMdHunter's PRIMED and N'Gorge **** Sponsored Log

[SoMdHunter]

I would like to thank **** for the chance to test out their N’Gorge and PRIMED supplements stack. I’m really looking forward to doing this log as it has been 4 months since the last time I was on any creatine or NO supplements.

N’Gorge offers a unique Creatine Ethyl Ester & Nitric Oxide Complex designed for increased pumps, strength and vascularity. I noticed the label on N’Gorge indicated it contained 2g of CEE, whereas **** Cr2 offers 2250mgs of CEE. However, the serving size is 2 capsules per day higher with N’Gorge, so I’m looking forward to seeing how this affects me.

The 2nd part of this stack is the PRIMED, designed to provide energy, focus, stamina and power. The 125mg of caffeine should provide that “kick” for lifting. I’m not a big fan of sugars, and with 10g of sugar, this is a bit more than I would like. It seems supplements that are too sweet do not settle well on my stomach when I’m sweating and working like hell in the gym. I’m however, curious to see how this watermelon flavor tastes, since it looks like really old brown sugar.

My routine generally falls into a 2 day split, although I may lift for 3 straight days before taking a break, depending on the workload with my job.
My typical week of lifting will usually look like this:

Monday Back/Bi’s
Tues Chest/Tri’s
Wed Off
Thurs Legs/Abs
Fri Shoulders/Traps
Sat Off
Sun Off

I may also throw in an arm day in there where I work bi's and tri's using isolation movements if I feel the need.

During this testing, my food intake will remain relatively unchanged so as to eliminate this as a variable. My macro's consist of chicken, lean beef, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and other fresh vegetables, brown rice, oats, salmon, swordfish, tuna, eggs, cottage cheese, multi-vitamins and protein shakes. I'm attempting a slow bulk right now, as I have found out at my age I can add fat quicker than muscle, even on a clean diet. So I keep my calorie intake just a bit higher than maintenance level. I have lost a couple of pounds I didn’t intend to, and as of today I weighed in at 204lbs. So you can see that at 6’2”, I’m no Jay, that is for sure.

When I post my routines, I’ll list the sets and reps with the actual weight I am able to lift. I don’t have an ego to feed, so I really don’t care if someone thinks I’m weak or not. I give each routine everything I have, with controlled movements to make the muscle work as hard as possible. I will then list that routine as easy, moderate, heavy, very heavy or muscle failure effort. These categories are relative to me, and are only provided as a frame of reference so I can tell if I am making progress week after week.

And finally, the product says to take 4 capsules 2 times daily, even on non training days. I’ll start the N’Gorge tomorrow morning, as it is leg day for me. I’ve already done my chest and back routine for the week, but I’m anxious to get this started. The container has 240 capsules, enough for 30 days, while the PRIMED container labels reads 20 servings per container.

At the end of this log, I will post a summation of how the stack affected my lifts, strength, endurance and overall impression of the products. If anyone has questions along the way, don’t hesitate to chime in. Again, I would like to thank **** for selecting me as one of their testers.

Yippee, BB.com erased all my posts last night!!! How fun is that!!!!!

I think I said-

N-Gorge is 4 caps 2 times daily= 8 total caps a day.

Primed- YUMMY, your lucky you got Watermelon! Make sure to look at the scoop! There is a line at the top about 1/4 inch down, thats where you fill it too!

Good luck!

[nosaj03]

Log looks like its going to be good. Ill definately keep up with this one. Ive been a bit curious about Primed. Ive read the write up but Im still not sure what it is. It sounds similar to Glycergrow?

With 125gms of caffeine per scoop, it is a stimulant you take before lifting. It has some other goodies that help with strength, endurance etc.....should be pretty good.

Today was the first day on the PRIMED and N'Gorge Stack. My first dose of N'Gorge was at 10:30 this morning just before my snack. The 2nd dose and PRIMED was taken 35 minutes before I got to the gym.

As for the mixability of PRIMED, it mixes very well in cold water stirring it up with a spoon. The contents in my container were a bit hard and clumped together, like the powder had gotten damp, but I managed to bust up the pieces enough to get 2 level scoops as per the instructions.

Taste wasn't really too bad, but I can't honestly say it tasted like watermelon. It is difficult to say what it tastes like, not unbearable...almost a tangy fruit flavor of some sort. A kiwi maybe? Something like that. After-taste was not unpleasant and didn't really linger very long.

Food today was slightly above normal, consisting of decaf coffee, multi-vitamins, chicken breast cubes, cottage cheese, waffles, 2 protein shakes, a banana, whole wheat crackers, wheat pasta, lean boneless pork chops and mixed vegetables. If I continue to loose weight, I’ll up this a bit.

Ever drift off to sleep and be woken up, only to realize it really is time to get up? Man, what a short night! I needed a rerun just to make sure I got my daily dose of sleep!

Today was a light leg and ab day for me. Reason being is I hurt my left knee 4 weeks ago doing squats, and I wanted to give it plenty of time to heal up. During warm-ups with no weight on the hack squat machine, my left knee was really starting to hurt. I didn’t think I was going to be able to even do a lift, but after 50 or so deep squats, it started feeling much better. I don’t do barbell squats due to a lower back injury when I was in the service, so I use the squat machine. Anyway, after getting my legs ready to go, I started my routine, which went like this.

Squat Machine 12x90/ 12x180/ 12x270 (easy – moderate effort) My left knee was still feeling a bit tight, but there was no pain while lifting.

Leg Curls 10x80/ 10x90/ 10x100 (easy-moderate effort)

Weighted Ab Crunches 12x60/ 12x60/ 12x70 (moderate effort)

Standing Calf Raises 25x200/ 20x250/ 20x300/ 20x300 (easy-moderate effort)

Leg Presses 12x270/ 12x360/ 10x450 (easy-heavy effort)

Leg Raises (Cap’n Chairs) 4x12 = 48 reps (moderate effort)

Hamflexors 12x50/ 10x60/ 10x60 (moderate-heavy effort)

Incline Leg Lifts 3x8 = 24 reps (moderate-heavy effort)

That was the routine for the night. I could certainly tell it had been almost a month since I did legs and abs. The weights were quickly getting heavy to me, even though I was giving it all I had.
Tomorrow will be a shoulders and traps routine for me. Maybe once the supplements kick-in I can get past my DB shoulder press sticking point, but more about that tomorrow.

[SoMdHunter]

There is a line at the top about 1/4 inch down, thats where you fill it too!

Good luck!

LOL! I missed that part. I'll pay more attention to the scooper from now on. First day went just fine. Took today to get my legs back used to lifting again. This should be a good ride though, I'm excited about it!

[fitnfirm]

Hey, Nice log entry!

All the primed looks like that, its not from humidity or anything its just the contents and they pack it tight. Hope you found your scoop ;) I have to leave mine out for a few days to make room for it to fit back in, Ill never understand how they get it in there! LOL

I think the taste is "Zippy" I like it, better than the sour lemon, Viperspit likes both though.

Im thinking the N-gorge being a CEE will take 7-10 days to build up for you, But im sure you will know when it happens!

The pumps, I love them! I get alot more intense upper body pumps than lower body but I do get quad pumps, pretty big, but the upper is massive!!!

[fitnfirm]

LOL! I missed that part. I'll pay more attention to the scooper from now on. First day went just fine. Took today to get my legs back used to lifting again. This should be a good ride though, I'm excited about it!


When I first started using it I felt it was strong, so I weighed it out on a gram scale and realized I was using a full scoop to the top, so I measured the exact grams and it goes up to that line :) Im sure many make this mistake, it would make you a couple scoops short by the end.

[Viperspit]

Great start to your log SMH. Thanks for taking the time to discuss items such as mixability, appearance, and taste. Those are all importanat factors when developing and continuing to purchase a supplement.

Nice Leg w/o, keep hittin it hard :)

[SoMdHunter]

You'll find all my log this detailed, so if you are ever looking for more testers in the future, keep me in mind will ya? My real job is.....ready for this?......Test and Evaluation Manager. So I feel I have a pretty good idea what people are looking for. :)

LOL! Well, you have good taste! ;)

[SoMdHunter]

Today was my shoulder and traps routine. By far this is my weakest routine that I do, so as a data point, I chose to take all the shoulder lifts to muscle failure. This will give me an idea of the gains I see at the end of the test period. Also, since this is my weakest routine, it should prove to be more accurate in seeing any strength gains.

First dose of N’Gorge was at 9:30am as I anticipated on lifting earlier today than I normally would since it was my day off. Food consumption today was oats, 2 whole eggs and 4 egg whites, decaf coffee, lasagna for lunch with garlic toast, a protein shake, tenderloin steak and sweet potato, banana, multi-vitamins and casein protein before bed, but not in that exact order. ;)

Grabbed some more N’Gorge at 2:30pm and washed them down with 2 scoops of PRIMED (correctly dosed this time!), and was at the gym about 3:00pm. I still can’t pin point the taste PRIMED has, but it is indeed most unusual. Not to take anything away from the product, but after mixing it up, it sort of looks like really dirty water. As expected it mixes very easily with just a spoon, so I chugged everything down and headed off to the gym. Here is what I did…..just don’t laugh.

Shoulder DB Presses 15x40 as warmups 10x50/ 10x50/ 10x55/ 6x60 (moderate-muscle failure)

DB Shrugs 15x60/ 15x70/ 12x80/ 12x90/ 10x100 (easy-moderate effort)

Shoulder Press Machine 10x160/ 10x170/ 7x180 (moderate-muscle failure)

Lateral Raise Machine 10x25/ 10x30/ 8x30 (heavy-muscle failure)
This specific machine is a Promaxima Model P126 designed to really isolate the delts. One can google it on the internet if you are interested in how it works. Definitely a strength builder.

Standing Calf Machine Shrugs 20x200/ 20x250/ 15x300 (moderate-heavy effort)
If you have never tried shrugs on a standing calf machine, give it a try. It really targets the traps, and you can go heavy as hell!

Lateral Cable Raises 10x30/ 10x35/ 10x40 (moderate-very heavy)
Seated Lateral DB Raises 10x20/ 10x20/ 8x25 (moderate-muscle failure)

Hammer Strength Shrug Machine 10x180/ 10x270/ 10x360 (heavy-very heavy effort)

Reverse Pec Dec Flys 10x90/ 10x100/ 10x110 (heavy-muscle failure)

That was the routine for the day. My traps and rear delts had developed an incredible pump to them. Endurance was certainly up, as I still had a bit left in the tank, even though the muscles were exhausted.

I plan on doing a short arm workout tomorrow since I really didn’t get a good workout to them earlier this week. I won’t do anything really outlandish, but enough to get a good pump. I want to have something left before starting next week.

Sunday will be an off day dedicated for tanning now that the heat wave has broken. If anyone has comments or suggestions, please let me know.

[fitnfirm]

Yep the Primed looks like Tea to me, If it was green Id still drink it! LOL Im curious to see how you like these products tomorrow on arm day, I must warn you, with my arm training I get pumps so big it hurts, as I do super sets with preacher curl and hammer curl, so take it easy at first!!!!!!

Very nice log!!!!! I like it, I like it alot :D

[SoMdHunter]

Thanks FnF. Below is what occured today.

[SoMdHunter]

Today the wife and I hit the gym late-morning for an arm routine. Nothing too serious, but enough to get a good pump going. I took it easy on the weights so as not to impact my back routine for Monday night. Breakfast was 1 cup of oats, with 4 eggs whites and 1 yoke with low fat cheese, decaf coffee and my multi. After a quick shower, I gulped down 12oz of water, my PRIMED mixed up in 8oz of water and 4 N’Gorge capsules. Here’s the routine this morning:

1 Arm Cable Curls 12x30/ 12x35/ 12x40 (easy effort)

1 Arm Cable Push downs 12x30/ 12x35/ 12x40 (easy effort)

Notice a trend here folks? These were simply warm up sets to prevent injury.

Tricep Cable Pushdowns 12x150/ 12x150/ 12x150 (easy-moderate effort)
This one was with both arms this time.

EZ Bar Cable Curls 12x80/ 12x90/ 12x100 (easy effort)

DB Kickbacks 12x20/ 12x25/ 12x30 (easy-moderate effort)
I noticed I was really starting to get a good pump to my tri’s by now.

Hammer Curls 12x25/ 12x30/ 12x35/ 10x40/ 8x45 (moderate effort)
With this many reps, my bi’s were fully pumped! Man I was feeling strong!

Dip Machine 12x230/ 10x270/ 8x300 (moderate-heavy effort)
I normally do regular dips at bodyweight, but on occasion, I will use the dip machine to add weights for heavier lifting. This specific machine is much like a see-saw we used to play on as kids. Difference is you can add as much weight as you want on the opposite end. Great for mass building!

EZ Barbell Curls 10x65/ 10x75/ 10x85/ 6x90 (moderate-heavy effort)

That was the routine for today. Like I said, nothing spectacular for sure. However, I found I was actually having to hold myself back today. I felt really strong, had some great pumps and could have gone heavier. The PRIMED had kicked in really well, and the pumps I was getting to my arms was great! I wasn’t even tired when I left the gym. My arms felt huge, even though they are still pretty small, but with the help of ****, I’m working on it!

Tomorrow is an off day, catching up on some calorie intake and working on my tan while the weather is still nice. See ya on Monday!

[redvision]

Great log so far, glad to know its kickin in!

Endurance is certainly up. Strength seems to be up a bit as well. Can't wait till you start your log. I'm interested in seeing how you react to the stack.

[SoMdHunter]

Today was dedicated to working back and bi’s. Quantity of food consumed was average, consisting of 1 cup of oats, multi’s, 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs, protein shake, 6oz chicken breast cubed with wheat crackers, chicken breast sandwich on wheat bread, low fat cottage cheese, lean boneless pork chops, 1 whole sweet potato, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, 1 banana, 8 steamed prunes and a casein protein shake.

I’ve been feeling really good the last few days, so I was ready to hit the gym today. I decided to lift in the moderate to heavy range today to give everyone an idea of where my strength range is. Here is what was accomplished at the gym.

Wide Grip Pulldowns 15x140 as warmups 10x170/ 10x190/ 8x210 (moderate-muscle failure)

Straight Arm Cable Pushdowns 12x150/ 12x150/ 12x150 (easy-moderate effort)

Iso Row Machine 10x135/ 10x135 (both hands at once) 10x180 (one hand) (moderate-heavy effort)

Chinups 6x6x5x5x5x3 = 30 reps The goal here is to get 30 reps in a few sets as possible.

Preacher Bench DB Curls 10x30/ 10x35/ 8x40 (moderate-heavy effort)

Seated Cable Rows 10x180/ 8x190/ 6x200 (moderate-heavy effort)

Hammer Strength Iso Back Machine 10x180/ 10x180/ 7x200 (moderate-muscle failure)

Seated Preacher Curls 12x150/ 12x170/ 10x190 (heavy-very heavy effort)

That was the routine for the night. You’ll notice I don’t do dead lifts, and this is due to a lower back injury sustained while in the military. I could put on a belt and go for it, but I’m not taking the chance. Also, I normally do T-Bars rows as well, but I decided on Seated Cable Rows and the Iso Back machine instead for tonight. I like to switch things up every couple of weeks on some of my routines. Next week, I’ll probably return to the T-Bar rows.

I was happy to see strength was up a tad tonight, and endurance was really good. I left the gym feeling really good, with excellent pumps to my lats and bi’s. Tomorrow night will be chest and tri’s, followed by a day off. Hope everyone is enjoying the log so far.

[nosaj03]

Log looks great. How long would you say the energy lasts on Primed. I was thinking about using it preworkout but I usually workout at night and I dont want to have any trouble sleeping.

Thanks nosaj! Appreciate it.

You will be fine taking it. I normally lift between 5:00-7:00pm, depending on when I get off work. But after a good meal, I'm ready for bed. So far, I haven't had any problem sleeping at all. If you work out later than that, you still shouldn't have any problems. If so, cut back on the dosage a bit.

[SoMdHunter]

Food today was slightly below normal for me, as I swapped out some chicken for a good ol’ can of sardines as a meal. It didn’t impact my workout in the least, but I’m jumping ahead just a bit. Here is what I ate today. Oats, 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg, decaf coffee, multi's, chicken sandwich on wheat, cottage cheese, sardines, shark fillet, brown rice, mixed fresh vegetables, and a coupla protein shakes just for good measure.

Training today was dedicated to chest and tri’s. I honestly didn’t really feel like lifting when I got to the gym for some reason. Ever have one of those days? Anyway, I started going through the motions since I was there. Here is what I did:

Incline DB Press 15x45 as warmups 10x60/ 10x60/ 10x65 (easy-moderate effort)

Incline DB Flys 10x40/ 10x45/ 10x45 (easy-moderate effort)
It was about this time that I started feeling pretty good. The sweat was running, the blood was flowing and I was starting to feel strong.

Flat Bench DB Press 10x75/ 10x80/ 7x85 (moderate-muscle failure)
If I had had a spotter, I would have forced out a couple more reps, but I didn’t want to get careless.

Dips 15xBW/ 10xBW+30lbs/ 10xBW+40lbs (moderate effort)

Hammer Strength Iso Wide Chest 10x125/ 8x135/ 6x145 (moderate-very heavy effort)
By now I was in the zone! Strength was surprisingly up, endurance was excellent and I was really feeling good!

Overhead Tricep Extensions 10x120/ 10x130/ 8x140 (moderate-heavy effort)

Chest Press Machine 10x200/ 8x230/ 6x250 (moderate-very heavy effort)

Close Grip Chest Press 10x160/ 10x180/ 8x200 (moderate-heavy effort)

That was my resistance training for the day. My pecs and tri’s were fully pumped when I left the gym. Without a doubt, this was one of the best workouts I have had in some time! I’ve gone heavier on various routines before, but I had not been able to keep my strength up on all my lifts like I did tonight. I’m certainly glad I lifted tonight, I would have cheated myself out of an excellent routine.

Tomorrow is an off day for me, the it will be legs on Thursday. Friday will be dedicated to shoulders, and since I feel I got a pretty good workout in my arms, I’ll be taking the weekend off.

[SoMdHunter]

Today really sucked. I was stuck in meetings all day today, and when I say all day, I mean from 9:00am until 5:15pm. The only food I managed to find was ½ a turkey Subway sub. Other than breakfast (and my supplements of course), that was all I ate today (except for dinner which I am having now). So there is no need into going over food intake today, it was virtually non-existent. With that, here is what I did today.

Hack squats by the boatload with no weight, and up to 90lbs to make sure my left knee was ready for lifting. Total hack squats was about 40 or so, then I moved to the squat machine.

Squat Machine 12x90/ 12x180/ 12x270 (easy-moderate effort)

Leg Curls 12x80/ 10x90/ 10x100/ 6x110 (easy-very heavy effort)

Standing Calf Raises 20x250/ 20x300/ 20x300/ 15x350 (easy-heavy effort)

Leg Raises (Captain Chairs) 4x15 (easy-moderate effort)

Hamflexors 10x60/ 10x70/ 8x80 (moderate-very heavy effort)

Leg Press 10x270/ 10x360/ 10x450 (easy-heavy effort)

Weighted Ab Crunches 10x60/ 10x70/ 10x70 (moderate effort)

That was all I had in me. Strength was surprisingly good tonight for me, even though I had very little to eat today. I really wanted to continue my routine, but I simply ran out of steam. So that was the routine, such that it was. Tomorrow is shoulders day, with even more meetings planned for tomorrow at work. I’ll think of some way of getting more food tomorrow.

[fitnfirm]

Geez.......Dont they realize people have to eat!!!!!!!!!! C'mon!!!!!!!!!! Id be taking a cooler in there with me, what if you were a diabetic or something. Then employers always complain about people not performing, well hell when you get no time to eat properly what do you expect!!!!


Rant over :)


Im amazed at your workout, seeing how your cals were not there for leg day. I prolly would of skipped it, cause I would of hate to get bad numbers on leg day, FnF would cry like a baby!


I bet you sleep good tonight ;)

[SoMdHunter]

Performance is the name of the game love, not being able to eat. I can't think of a single person I work with that goes to a gym for any reason, much less for lifting. So they wouldn't understand the need for keeping a calorie surplus. No worries though, I managed.......dayum near puked (which I didn't mention), but I made it.

BTW......I slept like a rock. :)

[SoMdHunter]

Shoulders and traps was the order of the day. Food was still down a tad, but not as bad as yesterday. I gobbled up some oats, eggs with cheese, multi’s and decaf coffee, 3 pieces of pizza, cubed chicken breast with crackers, 2 protein shakes, and for dinner I am getting ready to have salmon, a baked potato and some vegetables. I’ll also have myself one more protein shake before I get some sleep.

Without further adieu, here was my workout today.

DB Shoulder Press 12x40 for warmups 10x50/ 10x50/ 10x55/ 7x60 (moderate-muscle failure)

DB Shrugs 15x70/ 15x80/ 15x90/ 12x100/ 6x110 (easy-moderate effort)

Lateral Shoulder Raise Machine 10x25/ 10x30/ 9x35 (moderate-muscle failure)
This specific machine is a Promaxima Model P-126 if anyone is curious. It is a delt killer for sure!

Shoulder Press Machine 10x150/ 10x160/ 8x170/ 6x180 (moderate-muscle failure)

Standing Calf Machine Shrugs 20x250/ 15x300/ 12x350/ 8x400 (easy-very heavy)

Seated Lateral DB Raises 10x20/ 10x20/ 8x25 (heavy-muscle failure)
Reverse Pec Dec 10x90/ 10x100/ 10x110/ 10x120 (moderate-very heavy)

That was it for the night. I pushed myself as hard as I could, as evidenced by the numerous muscle failures tonight. Endurance was excellent, but strength was still down a bit. It appears the caloric deficit I have had the last couple of days is taking its toll on me. Regardless, I had a really good pump in my delts, and felt I had a good workout.

I’m taking the weekend off to visit my son, and then I’ll be right back at it on Monday. I also plan on getting more calories this weekend as well! If anyone has any comments about the log so far, just hit me up.

[SoMdHunter]

Today was one of those days. It appears the N’Gorge may be exerting itself on me now. Everything I did tonight felt light, even though I went to failure on some of my routines. My bi’s were fully pumped with I left the gym, and my lats felt so large I could barely put my arms down by my side.

Food intake was good today, consisting of 1 cup of oats, 4 egg whites and 2 whole eggs, 1 banana, multi’s, chicken sandwich on wheat, cottage cheese, cubed chicken breast and wheat crackers, grilled chicken breast, mixed vegetables, sweet potato, and a coupla protein shakes. With that, here was my routine for the night.

Widegrip Pulldowns 10x170/ 10x190/ 6x210/ 6x210 (easy-moderate effort)

Iso Row Machine 10x135/ 10x180/ 10x190 (easy-heavy effort)

Widegrip Pull-ups 8, 6, 5, 6, 5 = 30 reps
This represents 1 set less than last week to get to 30 reps, and a personal best of 8 reps in 1 set!

T-Bar Rows 10x115/ 10x135/ 6x160 (moderate-muscle failure)
The 160lbs is a personal best for me.

Bicep Cable Curls 10x80/ 10x90/ 10x100/ 10x110 (easy-moderate effort)

Straight Arm Cable Pulldowns 10x150/ 10x165/ 10x180 (easy-moderate effort)

EZ Barbell Curls 10x65/ 8x85/ 6x95 (moderate-muscle failure)

Preacher Bench Curls 10x150/ 8x170/ 8x190 (easy-moderate effort)

That was my routine for today. I felt outstanding during the entire routine. Strength was way up, endurance was excellent and the pumps I had were incredible! This by far was the best workout since starting this supplement stack. I really hope it is the supplements working for me. Tomorrow is chest day, so we will see how it goes. Man, if tomorrow is anything like today, it is going to be one dayum good workout, so stay tuned!

[fitnfirm]

glad you are liking your stack, its one of my very favorite things to use. I must admit I am addicted. Its just the beginning, its gonna get even better :D

Ever have one of those nights when you go to sleep, turn over to get comfortable, and realize it is time to get up? Man, what a short night last night was! But I was well rested and in an excellent mood. The morning wood probably had a lot to do with it! ;)

After a day at the office and healthy portions of oats, eggs, cottage cheese, chicken cubes, wheat crackers, multi’s, decaf coffee and all the water I could drink, it was time to hit the gym. BTW….for dinner I am having mahi mahi, a sweet potato, mixed vegetables, and a before bedtime protein shake.

Let me tell ya, today was another great workout for me! Tonight was chest and tri’s night, and here is what my routine consisted of.

Incline DB Press 12x45 for warmups 10x60/ 10x60/ 8x65/ 8x70 (easy-moderate effort)

Incline DB Flys 10x40/ 10x45/ 8x50 (moderate-heavy effort)

Flat Bench DB Presses 10x75/ 10x80/ 7x85 (moderate-muscle failure)

Cable Flys 12x60/ 12x70/ 10x80 (easy-moderate effort)

Dips 15xBW/ 15xBW/ 15xBW (easy effort)
Supersetted with
Tricep Pushdowns 10x150/ 10x150/ 10x150 (moderate effort)

My triceps were pumped like you wouldn’t believe! They felt huge, and man I love that sensation.

Rope Pulldowns 10x90/ 10x100/ 10x110 (easy-moderate effort)

After this much tricep work, my arms were about as pumped as they had ever been. I felt strong and full of energy!

Chest Press 10x200/ 6x230/ 6x240 (heavy-muscle failure)
Supersetted with
Pec Dec Flys 10x110/ 8x120/ 5x130 (heavy-muscle failure)

Close Grip Chest Press 10x160/ 10x180/ 10x200 (moderate-very heavy)

That was it for the night. I left with my pecs and tri’s fully pumped and feeling great! Tonight’s routine was just as good as last night’s, if not better! Even though I took some of the routines to muscle failure, I felt strong all night. I tried to stay with compound movements as much as possible.

During this testing phase I have gotten away from the bench press and returned to the DB presses. The reason I did this is the DB press was what I started out on, and I can effectively gauge my strength using this routine. After the log is complete, I’ll go back to incorporating BP back into my routine again. Right now it is pretty weak as I am still learning to control the bar and make sure my form is proper. But that is another subject for another log.

Tomorrow is an off day, and Thursday I may not be back from Baltimore Airport, so we will see how it goes. In the mean time, I’ll stay on the supplements and rest up.

[SoMdHunter]

Pretty soon you will feel like throwing VW's around :D

I prefer Toyota Tercels! LOL!

[Viperspit]

Nice work SMH, glad everything is going well. The DB Benching is actually a good move. It will really help out your barbell bench in the long run becasue if you have a weak side like most people do, it will work the stabilizer muscles more as well. Keep hittin it hard :)

Yep Viper is right, I did the same thing, and just recently went back to BB benching, it did wonders for me.

LOL! Man, don't tell EME that! Him and I had a slight disagreement long about about that very subject. Specifically about how to improve the one lagging arm. I suggested DB's and EME said Bench Press all the way. Didn't make sense to me then, doesn't make sense to me now.

I'm setting myself up to get the 90lb db's during this log. If I get them, it will be a PB for me! I want to hit 100lbs by Christmas.

[SoMdHunter]

Yep Viper is right, I did the same thing, and just recently went back to BB benching, it did wonders for me.

Yeah, I hear ya. I recently benched 185 after only 4 weeks of even attempting it. I know that isn't much for most people on here, but since I had only done DB presses, I thought I was doing pretty good. The 185 was on my last set, so 225 shouldn't be too far off if I stay with it for awhile.

But for now, I want to keep things consistent so I can judge the effectiveness of the supplements.

[redvision]

Great work man!! 185 is great, it isn't about others, it is you against you.

Keep up the fight, you're off to a great start and there will be a lot more :)

Redvision

Yeah, I only lift against myself. Like I mentioned at the start of this log, I have no ego to feed in front of the women. So if someone is waiting to see me move world record weights, they gonna be disappointed! :)

[SoMdHunter]

As advertised, today was Leg and Abs day for me. Surprisingly I was “up” for lifting today, even though I don’t like doing abs. I was up early this morning to take the wife to the airport, and I took time from work to help a bro out. I managed to keep my protein intake up although overall I was a bit low on total calories for the day. No problem though, I have some fat I could stand to loose anyway. Now, on to today’s routine.

I warmed up with an extensive quantity of hack squats again. By the time I had completed 40+ hack squats, my legs and knees were ready to go. If I do anymore, I may start counting this as a normal routine. Anyway, here we go…….


Squat Machine 12x90/ 12x180/ 12x270/ 10x320 (easy-moderate effort)

Weighted Ab Crunch Machine 10x50/ 10x60/ 10x70/ 8x80 (easy-heavy effort)

Lying Leg Curls 10x80/ 10x90/ 10x100/ 10x110 (easy-heavy effort)

Standing Calf Raises 20x250/ 20x300/ 20x300/ 20x350 (easy-moderate)

Leg Presses 10x360/ 10x450/ 6x540 (moderate-very heavy effort)

Hanging Leg Raises (aka Cap’n Chairs) 5x15=75 reps

HamTractors 10x180/ 10x210/ 10x240 (easy-moderate effort)

Decline Crunches 3x10=30 reps

That was my routine for the evening. This is the 3rd routine in a row in which I have had a great lift! With me standing over 6ft, I find I have to be very careful doing legs since I have such a long ROM. (Or maybe I’m just freaking clumsy) But I had no problem with the routine tonight. I would give this one a 9 on a scale of 1 – 10.

For whatever reason, I don’t get pumps in my legs like I do for upper body. I’m not sure why this is, but it just is. However, that did not detract from a great workout tonight. I wonder if I can make it 4 in a row tomorrow with shoulders? Tune in tomorrow sports fans and find out!

[SoMdHunter]

First off, let me say this stack is pretty amazing! For the 4th time this week, I have had excellent lifts! Strength was up, endurance was way up and the pumps were incredible today. As everyone that may be keeping up with this log knows, shoulders are my weakest part. This is due to the fact I didn’t start lifting for shoulders until a year after I started going to the gym, so they are, in effect, a year behind the rest of my muscle groups. But regardless, here is what I accomplished.

DB Shoulder Presses 12x40 for warmups 8x50/ 8x55/ 8x60/ 8x55 (moderate-muscle failure)
I lowered the reps by 2 and added an extra set, which helped as this is the first time I got 8 reps at 60lbs.

DB Shrugs 15x70/ 12x80/ 12x90/ 10x100/ 10x105 (moderate effort)
I kept loosing my grip on the 105’s, even with straps to assist.

Lateral Raise Machine 8x25/ 10x30/ 8x35/ 7x40 (easy-muscle failure)
The 7 reps at 40lbs is a personal best for me! My delts were really getting an excellent pump already! I felt like I was wearing shoulder pads back in my football playing days in school!

Shoulder Press Machine 8x160/ 8x170/ 8x180/ 6x190 (moderate-very heavy)
Next week, 200lbs on this routine!

Hammer Strength Shrug Machine 10x295/ 10x345/ 8x405/ 8x405 (easy-moderate)

Lateral Cable Raises 10x35/ 10x40/ 10x45 (easy-moderate)
I could have gone heavier, but I didn’t want to take the chance of inducing tennis elbow again, since my forearm has a tendency to come into play on this routine.

Standing DB Lateral Raises 10x20/ 8x25/ 6x30 (moderate-very heavy)

Rev Pec Dec 10x90/ 8x100/ 8x110/ 8x120 (moderate-heavy)
The 8 reps at 120lbs was another personal best for me.

For me, this was an excellent workout! On a 1-10 scale, this was another 9 all the way. I would definitely say the supplements are in full swing now. Strength is increasing for all my lifts, and the pumps I get are really nice. I’m one of those that really enjoy that “pumped up” feeling I get when my muscles are enlarged.

I’ll probably take the weekend off since I want to keep my tan going. But who knows, I may just do an arm routine tomorrow. Guess everyone will have to tune in and see what gives, huh?

[fitnfirm]

Congrats!!!!!!!! I know how great if feels to have an awesome shoulder workout!!!! Im so happy for ya!!!!! Have a great weekend, and work on that tan ;)

Now that is a smilie! Thanks for a great stack FnF!

[nosaj03]

Log looks great. Im glad to see the progress with the satck. Do you think the pump is attributed more to Primed or the N'gorge?

[Viperspit]

Good work SMH, congrats on the PR's. Glad the stack is working well for you. :)

[SoMdHunter]

Log looks great. Im glad to see the progress with the satck. Do you think the pump is attributed more to Primed or the N'gorge?

Without a doubt is has to be due to the N'Gorge since it is a CEE/NO combination and the PRIMED is a stimulant.

[Viperspit]

SMH, the Primed has a NO2 matrix as well, that's why the 2 products stack great together :)

[SoMdHunter]

LOL! I missed it on the label!

[SoMdHunter]

Ever have one of those nights when you just can’t relax and drift off to sleep? It was 11:00 last night and I was still wide awake. Some time after that I finally drifted off, only to wake up at 3:00am wide awake again. By 5:30 this morning I said to hell with it and just got up, did the 3 S’s and went on in to work. I don’t know why I couldn’t rest, just one of those nights I guess.

Food intake today was good, consisting of oats, eggs, cottage cheese, lots of chicken, multi’s, decaf, lean ground beef (in the form of manwiches) and a couple of protein shakes thrown in for good measure. Today was back and bi’s, and with the night I had last night, I figured my routine would suffer. However, I was very pleasantly surprised! Here it is.

Widegrip Pulldowns 15x140 as warmups 10x180/ 10x200/ 6x220 (easy-very heavy)
The 6 reps at 220lbs was a personal best for me!

Iso Row Machine 10x135/ 10x180/ 10x190 (easy-heavy)

Wide Grip Pullups 8/7/6/5/4=30 reps
Three things on this routine. I’m trying to get as many reps in as few sets as possible to get to 30. Two, I didn’t realize 8+7+6+5+4 equaled 30. And three, my lats were really pumped after 30 reps!

EZ Bar Cable Curls 15x80/ 10x100/ 10x120 (easy-heavy)

T-Bar Rows 10x135/ 5x160/ 4x180 (moderate-muscle failure)
The 180lbs was another personal best on this routine.

Barbell Curls 12x55/ 10x65/ 6x85/ 6x85/ 10x65 (heavy-very heavy)
I had no one to spot for me, or I would have been able to go heavier and all the way to muscle failure.

Seated Cable Rows 10x180/ 10x200/ 6x210 (heavy-muscle failure)

Preacher Curl Machine 10x150/ 6x160/ 4x180 (heavy-muscle failure)

That was it for the night, I had nothing left after this routine. This was one of the most intense workouts I have had in a very long time, and I was totally drenched with sweat. Strength was amazingly high tonight, but endurance was down just a bit. I contribute this to the lack of sleep last night, so I’m not the least bit concerned. I may not be able to get to the gym tomorrow since I will be spending 4 hours driving to Baltimore and back, but we will see.

On a final note, I was at my Dr. for a routine checkup earlier last week, and my BP was 103/57. I don't know if the stack had anything to do with that low of blood pressure, and he wasn't concerned in the least. Thought it was worth mentioning though.

[fitnfirm]

WOW, great BP :D Im impressed you still worked out even after only a tiny bit of sleep, Very impressive!!!! Now get some rest!!!!!! You ANIMAL!!!!! :D

[redvision]

Yeah buddy!!!! New PR everyday, way to go!!!! :D

Keep up the good work, you're very dedicated and it shows! :cool:

Redvision

[SoMdHunter]

Animal huh? Not really, but I appreciate it. ;)

I just got back from the airport and finally grabbing some food. I'll hit the gym tomorrow, Wed and Thurs with Chest/Tri's, Legs and Shoulders. Don't want to fall behind ya know!


Yeah buddy!!!! New PR everyday, way to go!!!!

Keep up the good work, you're very dedicated and it shows!

Redvision

Thanks bro. It's easy to stay motivated when you show up and the gym and find most of the weights are lighter than ya expected! It's like, dayum! This is fun again! :D

[SoMdHunter]

Tonight was my chest and tri’s night. I had a pretty good nights sleep although food today was down just a bit more than I like for it to be on a lifting day. I was still anxious to get to the gym though. Work kept me exceptionally busy, but I managed to grab some serious protein (tuna and cottage cheese) just before getting to the gym. This may have hindered the stack from taking immediate effect. Even though strength was excellent, it took a bit longer than normal for the supplements to kick in.

Anyway, here is what I did tonight.

Incline DB Press 15x50 as warmups 10x60/ 10x65/ 8x70 (easy-heavy effort)
The 70lbs ties a personal best for me on the inclines.

Incline DB Flys 10x40/ 10x45/ 10x50 (moderate-heavy effort)

Flatbench DB Press 10x75/ 10x80/ 8x85 (moderate-muscle failure)
This represents a 1 rep increase at 85lbs, which is a personal best for me. I also had some intense pumps going to my pecs!

Dips 3 sets at BW x 15 reps per set
Supersetted with
Tricep Cable Pushdowns 12x150/ 12x150/ 12x155 (easy-moderate)

Rope Pulldowns 12x90/ 12x100/ 12x110 (moderate-heavy)
This wasn’t a personal best, but my triceps was extremely pumped! Combined with the pumps I had to my pecs, I felt huge in the gym. What a great feeling!

Hammer Strength Iso Wide Chest Machine 10x135/ 7x145/ 5x160 (moderate-muscle failure)
The 160lbs represents a personal best for me tonight! For those that aren’t familiar with this machine, the 160lbs is for each arm, meaning total weight being lifted is 320lbs.

Chest Press Machine 10x200/ 10x230/ 6x260 (moderate-muscle failure)
The 260lbs ties a personal best for me on this routine.

Closegrip Chest Press 10x160/ 10x180/ 6x200 (heavy-muscle failure)

Tonight I was feeling incredibly strong and had outstanding endurance. This was a 10 all the way for me! I had excellent endurance and lifted some heavy weight. I know there are others out there that warm up with what I think is heavy, but like I said at the beginning of this log, I don’t have an ego to feed. A lot of people can lift heavier, but I can match them for intensity and effort. And in my book, that is what counts.

Tomorrow will be leg and abs day, followed by shoulders on Friday. I also will have to alter my last week on the stack, but that won’t be until next week. I’ll explain further before then. Hope all the silent viewers are enjoying the log!

[SoMdHunter]

Today was my leg and abs day. Food intake was really good today, and energy was up. I managed to eat me some eggs, cream of wheat, toast, cubed chicken and wheat crackers, chicken breast sandwich on wheat, cottage cheese, a banana, sweet tater, 3 mixed vegetables, 2 protein shakes and a partridge in a pare tree. ;) Just kidding. I wanted to see if anyone is reading this.

After warming up on the hack squat machine, here is what I managed to do in the gym other than visit the men’s room.

Squat Machine 12x90/ 12x180/ 12x270/ 6x320/ 4x360 (easy-heavy effort)
The 360lbs is a personal best for me on the squat machine.

Leg Curls 12x80/ 10x90/ 10x100/ 10x110/ 5x120 (easy-muscle failure)
The 120lbs is another personal best for me.

Weighted Ab Crunches 10x60/ 10x70/ 10x80 (moderate-heavy effort)
For some reason this routine felt hard and more difficult to do.

Standing Calf Raises 20x250/ 20x300/ 20x250/ 15x400 (easy-heavy effort)

Leg Press 10x360/ 10x450/ 8x540 (easy-very heavy effort)

Leg Raises (aka Cap’n Chairs) 4 x 15 (moderate-heavy)

Hamtractors 12x195/ 12x210/ 12x225 (moderate effort)

Decline Situps 3 x 12 (moderate-very heavy)

Overall, this was a really good workout for me. For some reason the intensity just wasn’t there like last night, although the endurance was excellent. I also found the ab work to be tougher than normal. I’m not sure what is up with that, but I still had a good workout. On a scale of 1-10, I would give this workout a 8, maybe a 9.

I plan on getting in a shoulder routine tomorrow if I have time. But with my planned day, it all depends on when I get home. It may wait till Saturday, we’ll see.

[SoMdHunter]

I managed to make it through the Tropical Storm Ernesto. Now all I have to do it clean up the damn mess it created! Only lost the internet for a few hours, and power wasn’t out much at all. But on the good side, we really needed the rain. Just not all within 24 hours. Anyway, on to the routine.

DB Shoulder Press 15x40 to warmup 10x50/ 10x55/ 10x60 (moderate-muscle failure)
The last 2 reps were assisted.

DB Shrugs 12x70/ 12x80/ 12x90/ 12x100 (easy-moderate effort)

Lateral Raise Machine 10x25/ 10x30/ 10x35 (moderate effort)

Shoulder Press Machine 6x200/ 8x180/ 10x160 (moderate-very heavy)
Told ya I would get the 200lbs this week, a new personal best.

It was at this point in the routine I noticed, I had pumps, pumps and more pumps!

Hammer Strength Shrug Machine 12x180/ 12x270/ 12x270/ 12x360 (moderate effort)

Lateral DB Raises 10x20/ 10x20/ 8x25/ 8x30/ 4x35 (easy-muscle failure)

Reverse Pec Dec 12x90/ 12x100/ 10x110/ 10x120/ 6x130 (easy-muscle failure)

Another excellent workout! I would have to give this one a 10 all the way! My shoulders and traps were really pumped and feeling good! Strength was really good, and endurance was excellent. I am convinced **** has a great stack on their hands. It appears I may be leaving next Thursday on family matters, so I’ll try to get in 3 more routines before then.

[redvision]

...Sorry for the storm man, it must suck to have to clean all that mess after, at least you're safe.

Thanks bro.....but as bad as this one was, it wasn't nearly as bad as hurricaine Isabelle that came through 3 years ago.

If it is just now kicking in for ya, in about a week you are going to really love this stack! The only routine I don't get pumps is legs, and that is fine with me.


Good to hear your safe SMH. Also happy you are enjoying the stack. Your workouts are looking solid, keep hittin it hard man!

Thanks Viper. All is well here on the home front.

I have a developing family situation which will require me to be away for about a week. With that in mind, I plan on lifting tomorrow, Tues and Wed doing chest/tri's, back/bi's and shoulders. I would love to do an arms day before the end of this, but I don't have time. This will give me 4 weeks on this stack, enough for me to draw conclusions and make recommendations.

I'll also do a summation of the stack Wed night with some suggestion I think will help sell PRIMED like hotcakes.

[fitnfirm]

Shoulder Press Machine 6x200/ 8x180/ 10x160 (moderate-very heavy)
Told ya I would get the 200lbs this week, a new personal best.



EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SoMdHunter]

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! Yeah, but I kina cheated. I started out at 200 instead of increasing to 200. But I was determined to get them!

[SoMdHunter]

Couple of things I learned today. One, I am not a morning workout person. And two, I’m not a morning workout person. Today was a day off from work for me, and with the gym closing at 1:00pm, I had to get my routine in early. So after a breakfast of oats, eggs, decaf coffee, a banana, and my multi’s, to the gym my wife and I went. Here is what I did this morning.

Widegrip Pulldowns 15x140 warmups 10x180/ 10x200/ 10x200 (easy-heavy effort)
After this first routine, I was thinking….oh cr@p. This is not good. The weights felt very heavy and I had no energy.

Hammer Strength Iso Row Machine 10x135/ 10x160/ 10x180 (moderate effort)
Felt a bit better after this routine.

Widegrip Pullups 10, 9, 8, 7=34 reps
Talk about surprised!! 10 reps on one set was the best I have ever gotten on pullups. The 34 reps is also a personal best that I didn’t really plan on b/c I almost didn’t do this exercise.

Hammer Strength Iso Back Machine 10x180/ 10x180/ 10x180 (easy-moderate effort)

Preacher Curl Machine 12x160/ 10x170/ 10x180 (moderate-very heavy effort)

Seated Cable Rows 10x160/ 10x170/ 10x180 (moderate-heavy effort)

Standing DB Curls 10x30/ 8x35/ 8x40/ 6x45 (easy-very heavy effort)

Barbell Curls 10x65/ 10x65/ 10x75/ 5x85/ 12x35 (moderate-muscle failure)

This was another outstanding workout for me. The pump to my bi’s and lats was excellent, and endurance was way up. Strength took a couple of routines to get going, but I would still rate this routine as another 10! It is time to feed the muscles some protein and carbs so recovery can start.

I really haven’t had a day of rest yet since I lifted Sat and yesterday was spent cleaning up the back yard from TS Ernesto…..and I still have the front to get done. Tomorrow will be chest and tris’, followed by legs on Wed. So stay tuned, there are a couple of routines left yet.

[SoMdHunter]

First off, let me say this has been a real pleasure testing this stack by ****. This supplement stack certainly lives up to all the advertisement on their site. And with that, I will have to end this log 1 day short for a couple of reasons. The most important is I have a family matter that I must attend to, and will be jumping on a plane on Thurs. Secondly, I have a serious injury to the tendon in my left forearm. I did it last night doing curls, but really hurt it good tonight dropping the 85lb db's. I was trying to be careful and not drop them on anyone's toes/feet. I held on to them for too long on the way down and really hurt myself.
So, FitnFirm, sorry to end the log on a note like this, but I'm unable to do my planned shoulder routine tomorrow. After lifting 3 of the last 4 days as well as cleaning up from the T.S. I really haven't had a day of rest, which probably led to and eventually aggravated the injury. In any event, here is what I managed to get done tonight for chest and tri’s.

Incline DB Press 12x50 warmups 10x60/ 10x65/ 9x70 (easy-very heavy)
I don’t know why I didn’t get that last rep for an even 10. Brain fart I guess.

Incline DB Flys 10x40/ 10x45/ 10x50 (moderate effort)

Flat Bench DB Press 10x75/ 10x80/ 8x85 (moderate-muscle failure)
It was while dropping the DB’s that I hurt my arm. Actually it is the tendon that is irritated.

Tricep Pushdowns 12/150/ 12x150/ 12x150 (easy effort)

Rope Pulldowns 10x100/ 10x110/ 10x120 (moderate-very heavy)
The 120lbs is a personal best for me on this exercise.

HS Iso Wide Chest Machine 10x135/ 10x135/ 8x135 (moderate-muscle failure)
I was starting to run out of steam by now. Try as I may, I was quickly tiring.

Dips Machine 10x230/ 10x250/ 20x200 (moderate-very heavy effort)

Chest Press 10x200/ 8x210/ 20x160 (moderate-very heavy effort)

That was it for the night. On the last two exercises, I decided to lower the weight and increase the reps to as high as possible. I really had a great pump going, and if it weren’t for my arm, it would have been a pretty incredible workout. As it was, it wasn’t anything special. The supplements did their part, and even though my heart was in it, my body simply wouldn’t cooperate.

I’ll try to do a summation and recommendations on this stack before I depart. To **** and their entire staff, I would again like to say thank you for selecting me as a tester! You have yourself a winner on your hands, and you can tell’em I said so!

Thanks FnF. Please feel free to use any information I posted for your benefit. And thanks again for selecting me as a tester for ****. Below is my review of the stack.......

[SoMdHunter]

Throughout this log, I tried to keep everything as constant as I could to eliminate variations. My food intake consisted of a high protein diet, with moderate carbs and fats, while attempting to keep my sleep the same each night. With that, here are my thoughts on the stack.

The N’Gorge is certainly an excellent CEE product. The capsules are easy to swallow and certainly easy to identify since they are blue and white. At times, I found myself not drinking enough water while on this stack. The result was obvious; constipation like you wouldn’t believe! So for those thinking of taking N’Gorge, or any CEE product for that matter, make sure you get enough water throughout the day.

As for the PRIMED, I eventually got used to the taste, which I think is a distraction for the user. Sorry, but the watermelon taste just doesn’t taste like any watermelon. I would strongly recommend **** see about altering the taste to something a bit more appealing. How about a Cherry, Raspberry, Orange or Strawberry flavor? I think those would rock!

One other change I would make is the container size. I found I had to loosen the contents with a fork before using the scooper it was packed in so tight. Just something to maybe think about.

PUMPS
I’m one that enjoys getting the “pump” to my muscles. I guess since I easily get that feeling, I use it to judge how intensely I’m working my muscles. By day 6, the pump was in full force! The N’Gorge was certainly doing it job, there were numerous times I left the gym feeling much bigger than I really am.

INTENSITY
This is one area that I feel ones mental attitude, physical fitness, amount of sleep and food consumed has a lot to do with. All the stars need to align, and when they do, the intensity of the workouts can be incredible. During this log, I found I was feeling better and more “primed” for the workouts (no pun intended). Certainly this can be contributed to the “PRIMED” supplement!

STRENGTH
Strength increased really well for me while on this stack. I set at least half a dozen personal bests. I was up 10lbs on wide grip pulldowns; up 20lbs on the T-bar rows; doubled my reps in 1 set on wide grip pullups; added 5lbs on flat and incline DB presses; up 10lbs on leg curls and added 25lbs on the squat machine.

ENDURANCE
The first thing I noticed on this stack was the endurance, which started to kick in by the 3rd day. As this log continued, endurance seemed to be my “yard stick” by which I gauged everything by. I really enjoy giving it everything I can at the gym, and yet being able to leave with energy to spare.

RECOVERY
For the most part, recovery was really well for me. I was ready to go by the time I got back to the gym, even on those days I didn’t get as much sleep as I would like to have had.

CONCLUSION
This is an excellent stack for someone wanting to kick up their intensity level a couple of notches. There were numerous times I took my workouts to “failure”, which for me was to the point I could not do another rep. I really don’t mind taking my muscles to failure. It allows me to judge any strength gains. With this stack, I increased weights or reps across the board. Overall, I would rate this stack a full 9.5 on a 1-10 scale. The only thing I would improve would be the taste, but I guess I’m one of those that wants their cake and eat it too!
