    jalfrey--Catching Zzzzz and Recovering with iForce Lights Out!

    As always, I gotta give credit where it's due and give a big THANK YOU to VaughnTrue and the iForce team for selecting me for this log.


    I've used products in the past that promise to help with sleep as other hormone levels rise. But I've never used one with the primary purpose of recovery while sleeping...this is gonna be a fun ride! Sleep is always the component of lifting that I can't seem to get right. I either get to bed too late, or I sleep like crap when I get to bed early.
    Speaking off, it's 10:00pm and I took Lights out about 45 minutes ago. Time to hit the sack and let you guys know what happens tomorrow, I've got a date with the squat rack at 5:30am...nighty-night...

    Let me give a little background on my current training protocol. I'm in my last 3 week cycle of a modified Y3T protocol. I'm hitting my lagging chest twice a week and have done moderately well over the past couple of months. Taking a break the week of Xmas, and then starting another 9 weeks of Y3T before cutting in the spring. I'm bulking and taking in 3500-4000 calories a day. Being the holidays, my diet isn't currently the best, but I'm going to back off the junk food after New Years. I'm also planning on a stim break in January, just because.
    My 1st experience with Lights Out wasn't quite what I was expecting. Took 1 cap and was falling asleep hard (dropping my Kindle on my face hard) by 10:30. But, by 12:45, I started waking up every couple of hours. The funny thing is, I felt great this morning. It feels like I rested, but I distinctly remember not sleeping very well. Could've just been excitement over trying something new, although I did have similar experience logging a test booster back in the summer. I need to compare ingredients and see if there are any similarities.
    But, like I said, I did wake up feeling good and tore it up in the gym this morning--

    12/6
    Leg extension: 2x12x55lbs
    Squats: 2x12x45

    Hack Squats: 4x6x500 (PR!)

    Leg Press: 1x8x928 3x8x888 (PR!)

    Superset:
    DB two-handed swing: 4x8x65
    Stiff Legged Deadlifts--4x8x225lbs
    Leg extension: 4x8x265lbs (maxed the machine out!)

    Tomorrow is my second chest day, I think it's gonna be a good one!

    Here is my wus workout from yesterday. Not real pleased, but then again, I didn't take LiGHts Out Sunday night. I'm only dosing nights that I lift.


    12/10
    Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown: 3x13x70lbs
    Wide-Grip Lat Pulldown: 3x13x190lbs

    Wide-grip T-Bar Row: 2x13x145lbs 1x13x135

    Rack Pull: 3x13x315

    EZ Bar Curl: 1x13x30lbs
    EZ Bar Cable Curl: 3x13x72

    I dosed 1 cap last night at around 9:30. Started reading in bed at 9:40 and didn't get real sleepy until an hour later. I did wake up a couple of times through the night, but damned if I didn't feel rested when I got up at 4:45. This rested feeling is strange to me...I like it!

    Damage Report--
    12/11
    Pec Deck--3x13x95
    Pec Deck--3x13x195

    Smith Incline--2x13x225

    Superset:
    Incline Flyes--3x13x35
    EZ Curl--2x13x60 1x13x80 (making up for yesterday's poor gun show)
    Decline Press--3x13x175

    Standing DB Tri Ext--1x13x70 2x13x65

    Reverse Grip Cable Ext--2x13x108 1x13x82

    Question for the Reps--Does LiGHts Out work better the longer that it's in your system? Reason I'm asking is because I'm planning a break the week of Christmas and am not planning on taking the product during that period. But, if it needs to "build up" in my body, I don't want to stop taking it--knowhutimean?

    well.......lights out can work without taking it regularly. the past month, i havent taken it daily, more or less on nights where i feel like i really need a good nights rest.



    however, you could be missing out on some of the ldopa/humanofort benefits, as those will show a bit more with extended use
    goodbros, always and forever.

    Didn't take a dose Sunday night and my sleep reflected it. I did take it last night after the following workout however--

    12/17--
    Low pulley high row: 3x13x85lbs Superset:
    Low pulley row: 2x16x156lbs (PR)
    Wide-grip pulldowns: 2x16x144lbs


    Superset:
    Wide Grip T-bar row: 2x15x120lbs (PR)
    Straight-arm pulldowns: 2x16x65lbs


    Superset:
    Leverage high row: 2x16x220lbs (PR)

    Inverted Rows: 2x16xBW

    EZ bar Curls: 2x15x40lbs

    DB Curls: 1x16x25, 30, 35, 40, 35, 30

    DB Hammer Curls:3x16x35lbs

    Aside from some tightness, my back feels great! I also can't believe how solidly I'm sleeping with LiGHts Out. I honestly haven't used a product that affects my hormone levels that is also helping me sleep like this! After taking it last night I wore out my chest doing the following--

    12/18
    DB incline press: 3x13x35lbs

    Incline Smith machine press: 3 triple drop sets--3x14x215lbs/
    3x14x195lbs/3x14x175lbs
    Cable Crossovers: 3 drop sets--1x14x35lbs/1x14x30lbs/1x15x25lbs

    Overhead tricep extensions: 2x16x50lbs 1x16x55lbs


    Wide-Grip tricep pressdown: 2x16x156lbs 1x16x144lbs

    Looking forward to going to bed tonight!

    Took one capsule of LiGHts Out last night to prep for the new training protocol and it was honestly the best night of sleep I've had in over a week. This stuff really is great!

    I haven't been sleeping well the past couple of nights. I think it's due to mine being sore with the new training routine. Other than that, I'm not sure what else to report on with LiGHts Out. Here are my lifts for the past couple of days that have made me so sore...

    12/31
    Leg Press--50x388, 40x478, 30x568, 20x58, 10x748. Then all that in reverse!
    Calf Press--40x388, 30x478 and then I punked out. I tried to push more, but my arches were killing me...
    Decline crunch--2x12, 3x8 with 20lbs

    1/1
    Superset
    DB Bench--30x35, 20x45, 10x55, 6x65, 6x75 and then reversed.
    Underhand Row (elbows tucked in)--30x70, 20x90, 10x110, 6x130, 6x150 and then again in reverse.

    Superset
    DB Incline--same weights and rep scheme
    Overhand Row (elbows flared)--same weights and rep scheme.

    Pec Deck--30x100, 20x115, 10x130, 6x145, 6x145 and reverse...

    1/3
    Superset
    Cable Curls: 40x48, 30x60, 20x72, 10x84, 6x96, 6x108
    Overhead Cable Ext:40x48, 30x60, 20x72, 10x84, 6x96, 6x108

    Superset
    EZ Bar Curls: 6x90, 6x80, 10x70, 20x60, 30x50, 40x40
    Skull Crushers: 6x90, 6x80, 10x70, 20x60, 30x50, 25x40 (dude, I was fried...)

    Hanging leg Raises: 3x12 2x10

    Please if there are any questions, ask!

    Haven't logged in this thread in a while as VaughnTrue also picked me to run an iForce Testabolan v2 log http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=150745053

    My workouts are the same obviously, so I'll just update this weekly or so. I'm still dosing 1 LiGHts Out about 30-60 minutes before bed. For the most part, I'm still enjoying great sleep. No grogginess in the mornings either. This is translating to good recovery and I'm hoping to some gains while performing DTP.
