AminoLean Energy Formula from RSP Nutrition Log

[graysonthacker]

This log will follow my daily health routines with the addition of RSP Nutrition's AminoLean Energy Formula, a stimulant-infused weight management and amino acid supplement. I would like to thank RSP Nutrition and their rep (jpfaherty) for the opportunity to log this product!

In this log, I will detail my diet, exercise, sleep, and supplementation regimen so that followers have a thorough idea of what to expect from AminoLean! I will provide my thoughts on the products throughout the course of the log.

THE TUB


Introduction

GOALS: I am looking to add some lean mass and trim up any excess fat, especially in my core, so I can get bigger, faster, and stronger.

To provide some other personal details, I am 5'10" ~200 lbs and hover around 12-14% body fat (I would like to get that down to 10%). I have been power lifting and bodybuilding for about three years. Eventually (like mid 20s), I hope to possibly compete in natural competitions and stay healthy and fit throughout my entire life! I have run programs like the Arnold Blueprint, Get Swol Plan, and Shortcut to Size in the past.

I try and eat around 3,000 calories a day, but there is daily variation. I try to do 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, and the rest will be mostly complex carbohydrates, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables.

AminoLean Energy Formula

AminoLean Preview
The blackberry pomegranate flavor is great! it's super refreshing and has just the right balance of sweetness and tartness. I am a fan, and I am sure I will enjoy it throughout the rest of the log.

The AminoLean formula is pretty simple. It delivers 5 grams of a proprietary mix of a ton of amino acids and a 1.5 gram dose of "weight management" ingredients and 130 mg of a stimulant blend, which appears to be mostly naturally extracted caffeine. I like the formula and that the low stim quality makes it easy to use for different times of the day and for different applications.



Sub up to the log because much more is to come!

AminoLean has a great flavor love drinking it. Used two scoops today in order to push the energy level up for a lift. It was a solid arm day. No huge pump but really felt the lift. Decent mind-muscle connection.

Had a small breakfast of eggs and toast this morning and then hit the gym. After I snacked on an apple and a banana and a protein shake. Grabbed something quick from Chipotle for lunch. Planning out dinner now.

AminoLean has been fun to use! I have tried it in a few different ways over the past week. As a pre-workout product AminoLean definitely leaves some to be desired. It doesn't pack a punch with the low stims or with ergogenic aids or NO boosters so it isn't going to really add a ton to a workout, but it is great as a mid-day pick-me up or as a stack to a low-to-medium stim pre-workout, which can be done intraworkout (my preference) or before the workout. I really like the flavoring on AminoLean. It's pretty much as good as one could hope for from a flavor perspective. Exotic but not overly artificial and the flavoring isn't overpowering. It has just the right amount of flavor.

This was my workout from today. I am totally fried from it right now and will sleep like a rock tonight. For my workout today, I stacked AminoLean with C4 Ultimate. I used the C4 Ultimate 30 mins before my workout and then used AminoLean continously throughout my workout. The additional stim hit and the amino acids for support was really handy during this tough leg workout. I'm really going to feel this lift tomorrow.

Preworkout: 1 scoop C4 Ultimate (Apple Berry) in 16 oz of water
Intraworkout: 1 scoop of AminoLean (Blackberry Pomegranate) in 10 oz of water

8 x 100 meter sprints
Plyometric work and stretching

FOOD
Definitely ate dirty this weekend. A lot of pizza and a good amount of dessert. Still ate a ton of protein and fiber from fruit and veggies so hopefully some of that caloric surplus ends up as muscle! Will re-focus on diet for leaning up soon. Spring Break is soon!

Still loving the blackberry pomegranate AminoLean! This has definitely been a lean out week for me down five pounds and look harder and tighter! Was feeling majorly sore today so went straight cardio and other dynamic stuff. Continue with the same stack of product with a little less pre.

Intraworkout: 1 scoop of AminoLean (Blackberry Pomegranate) in 10 oz of water

30 minutes on stationary bike

FOOD
Still keeping the diet clean. I don't think I had a single refined/simple carb today.

You pretty much summed up how I enjoy AminoLean as well! I'm also glad you enjoy the flavor so much. RSP has a great history of high flavor ratings. I tell people if they flavor sounds appealing on the label, you'll probably enjoy it!

Thanks for the posts so far. Really appreciate the log!

Log looks good in here. The different flavors available for AminoLean look great. I would love to get around trying all of them, starting with the blackberry pomegranate.

Awesome! Nice to be in agreement on those points.
