Chimpinzo's :Straight Jacked - Black China Labs: Log

[Chimpinzo]

For all those who don't know me, as I seem to lurk solely in the Supplements / Teen Bodybuilding forums. Here's a little about me.
Age: 18
Sex: M
Height: 5'11

Weight: 166.25 (empty stomach, morning) 11.9% BF -Got electronically read a few hours ago

Bodytype: Ectomorph

I was introduced to lifting in 6th grade by my dad. Knowing nothing about dieting, I worked out with little gains in mass. I took weights for my freshman year of highschool, which renewed my interest in weightlifting. Sophmore year I spent on the Air Alert jump training program to try to increase my vertical jump height. Junior through Senior year of highschool I was weightlifting and learning about nutrition.
Finally I am in my first year at college, I have been lifting weights intensely for my college experience, and plan to continue to do so.
You may check my progress pictures (which I have uploaded) or on my bodyspace to see my progress.
Freshman year I was roughly 90lbs, underweight in my wrestling weightclass, now I am 166.25 lbs exactly, as I have a scientific scale in my bathroom xD

I have currently began a bulking cycle, and am attempting to get to 180~190 pounds, depending on my %bf, as I would like to cut down to 180 lbs


Current Diet and macros:

Diet:
9:00-9:30 AM (Morning) (it's a varied time because I shower before I eat sometimes)
1 Bowl of oatmeal with a spoon full of peanut butter
1 Scoop of Optimum 100% Whey Protein mixed into a full glass of milk

10:30 AM-(It's right before school, gotta have my protein)
1 Scoop of Optimum 100% Casein Protein in a full glass of milk

---Workout begins @ 1:00
---Workout Takes 1 hour

2:30 PM-(I have to race home to get to my food)
2 Slices of white bread
1.5 scoops of Optimum 100% Whey Protein with 1 scoop of Optimum 100% Casein Protein in a full glass of milk
Assorted meat I throw into my bread / Can of Tuna
Peanut butter (to coat the inside of my bread)

4:00-5:00 PM-
Leftovers from dinner
(Broccoli/Cream Spinach/Asparagus/Salad-no dressing/Artichoke)(I always eat about a cup of whatever remaining veggie is there)
(Steak/Tri-tip/Pineapple Chicken/Pot Roast/Chicken)
Almost always one of those, our dinners are quite predictable)
Bowl of oatmeal

6:30-7:00 PM-Dinner
(Broccoli/Cream Spinach/Asparagus/Salad-no dressing/Artichoke)I always eat about a cup of whatever veggie is there
(Steak/Tri-tip/Pineapple Chicken/Pot Roast/Chicken)
Almost always one of those, our dinners are quite predictable

Usually 1.5 Scoops of Optimum 100% Whey Protein with a full glass of milk around 9:30-11:00

Then 1 scoop of Optimum 100% Casein Protein literally IN bed right before I fall asleep.

Rinse & Repeat

I admit to the occasional cheat meal (estimated:4 times a week), though it's fine for me, as I'm bulking anyways, and I still eat all my other meals anyways.


Short Term Goal:
Bulk up until
Bodyweight x (1 - %bf-decimal-) = 180

Long Term Goal:
Cut until I reach 6-8% Bodyfat (after my bulk), then train for strength.


PreWorkout / Intraworkout:
Straight Jacked (Black China Labs ) 2 Scoops, half right before workout begins, sip rest through out workout.

Post Workout:
2 Scoops Anator P70
3 Scoops Anabolic Halo


I am EXTREMELY precise and methodical, I update my weight just about every day in my bodyspace, therefore you can check by at any time. Hope some of you follow my log

First Day: 1 Scoop (scoop 1/30)
I signed up at Fitness 19 also today, so my dosages were off sadly... I took it expecting it to be a quick form to sign, unfortunately, I had to fill a bunch of paperwork etc, therefore the timing was off. I was quite hyped up on the car ride over and while waiting for the paperwork, the hype lasted assumedly.... 25 minutes into my workout?

Bench Press
45's/10's/10's------------- 175lbs - 1x11
45's/25's ----------------- 185lbs - 1x8
45's/25's/5's ------------- 195lbs - 1x8
45's/25's ----------------- 185lbs - 2x7

Squats
45's/45's ----------------- 225lbs - 3x8

Deadlifts
45's/35's ----------------- 205lbs - 3x9

Squats
45's/45's ----------------- 225lbs - 2x8

Pulldowns
--------------------------- 120lbs - 1x11
--------------------------- 140lbs - 1x9
--------------------------- 120lbs - 2x10

Dumbell Flys
-------------------------- 22.5lbs - 3x10
-------------------------- 20lbs --- 1x11

Barbell Curls
------------------------- 50lbs ---- 1x8
------------------------- 60lbs ---- 3x9

Crunches
------------------------- 35lbs ---- 4x10

Russian Twists
------------------------- 35lbs --- 4x6

I was pretty tired after my deadlifts, my back aches a tiny bit, but other than that I feel pretty damn good. I think I should take the drink closer to my workout (as I seem to always find...) I'll post more detailed information about the supplement on the third day, as I don't want to jump to conclusions from my first sampling of it. -Though I will say, this is probably the tastiest supplement I have EVER had, I found myself literally licking my lips on the way to the gym because it was so delicious


-To any BCL reps
How would you recommend the dosage? I have an EXTREMELY strong tolerance to stimulants, so I normally dose most supplements quite high (probably raising my tolerance even higher...) 2 seemed to work quite well for me. I'm thinking about putting 2 scoops into my aminovital drink, drinking half pre workout, then sipping the other half during my whole workout to keep the stimulants flowing in through my workout

While using Straight Jacked, you will not need to use Black Powder or animal pump. In fact, I highly suggest against this. Look at the ingredient profiles: Simular ingredients in each. There is plenty of creatine in it as well so you don't need to use anavol pre-workout.

How do you expect to test the effectiveness of Straight Jacked while taking all of these different products? The only product I want you taking pre/intraworkout in this log is straight jacked. Mixing two scoops together and drinking it pre/into your workout is my preferable choice.

[Muscle Mania Malky]

Remember, one of the restrictions where:

-Testers must NOT add additional supplements to their pre/intra-workout routine.

No if ands or buts bro.

[Chimpinzo]

I thought it was to, "not add additional supplements," as in. Do not start taking new supplements during the course of the log, I believed that you could continue the usage of supplements you were already taking.

If it's any better, I didn't take black powder, or the red pill out of animal pump, so I didnt take any stimulants my last workout. But I will discontinue the usage of all other pre/intra workout supplements for my next workout.
-Updated my previous posts to be correct

Thank you.

[willip]

NO biggie bro. Just up your dosages until you find where it works best for you. As your tolerance is higher, one scoop for you is not the same as one scoop for everyone else. You may need 2 or 1.5.

[Chimpinzo]

Yeah, I'll try 1.5 next workout. I'm assuming tomorrow

[Chimpinzo]

Second Day: 2 Scoop (scoop 3/30)
Went straight to fitness 19, seemed like a great workout. I mixed up the Straight Jacked in the gym, chugged half, then sipped the rest through the remainder of the workout, I had some pretty good endurance and no real crash, seemed to work fine

I was pretty happy with this workout, I got pretty tired through the end, but overall it was expected seeing as how much I did... I'm starting to like straight jacked, I'll post more about it as I continue this log.

Don't want to jump to conclusions, now do we?

x2...Good start!

[Muscle Mania Malky]

looking great! you are pretty ripped!

[Chimpinzo]

Third Day: 2 Scoop (scoop 5/30)
I have been in the mountains with my friends for the past few days. There is no gym up here, so I figured that I'd sneak in a little bit of working out.

Push ups 5x20
Crunches - Till Fail

Snowball Fight / Hiking / Wrestling - I'm tired.



Fourth Day: 1.5 Scoop (scoop 6.5/30)
Just got back from the mountains a few hours ago, so figured I'd welcome myself back with some more pain. Back/Arms are too sore for the normal routine

Dumbell Flys (Lateral Raises)
---------------------------- 25 ------ 3x11
---------------------------- 22.5 ---- 1x10

Barbell Curls
---------------------------- 60 ------ 3x9
---------------------------- 50 ------ 1x8

Weighted Lunges
---------------------------- 75 ------ 4x9 (each side)

Roman Chair
-------------------------------------- 7x12

Leg Extensions
---------------------------- 130 ----- 4x12

Leg Curls? (Calf)
---------------------------- 110 ----- 2x10
---------------------------- 130 ----- 2x9

Weighted Toe Raises
---------------------------- 125 ----- 4x12

Upright Barbell Rows
---------------------------- 60 ------ 2x10
---------------------------- 70 ----- 2x9

Considering how amazingly shot my body is. I'm very happy with this. I'll wait a bit longer to post a review of the product, as I've been in the mountains. Lets give it a few straight days in a row to see.

[Muscle Mania Malky]

good stuff! some good lifts there.

[rizzog466]

Snowball fight FTW

[Chimpinzo]

Thanks everyone.
I'd say that the main thing I was surprised about was the 7x12 roman chair. I HIGHLY doubted that I could have done this. I just kept cranking out the reps. Maybe it was just a good day for abs, could be the straight jacked, could have just been the time my abs had to recover in the mountains, but nonetheless, that's definitely a personal record.
Progress is going great

[BCLabs]

very nice. Keep hard work up

[Chimpinzo]

Fifth Day: 2 Scoop (scoop 8.5/30)
Today I didn't feel too sore (besides my lats / calves) so I figured it would be ok to workout if I just took the weight down on some of my exercises. Not too good of a call, I realized that my body was completely shot when I began benching

Bench Press
45's/10's/5's---------------- 165 ----- 2x9
45's/10's------------------- 155 ----- 1x8

Close Grip Bench Press
45's/10's------------------- 155 ----- 1x9
45's/5's-------------------- 145 ----- 1x8

I'm still not quite used to the benches at fitness 19 (as opposed to 24 hour fitness) so spent most of my bench time figuring out my positioning


Dumbell Flys (Lateral Raises)
---------------------------- 25 ------ 2x12
---------------------------- 22.5 ---- 3x12

Dumbell Curls
---------------------------- 22.5 ---- 3x8
---------------------------- 20 ------ 2x7

Squats
45's/45's------------------- 225 ----- 3x8

Pulldowns
--------------------------- 120 ----- 2x8
--------------------------- 110 ----- 2x7

Resistance Crunches
--------------------------- 60 ------ 3x8

Roman Chair
-------------------------------------- 4x12

My body is absolutely shot. I really need to take a few days to rest haha. Once again, this doesn't look as bad on paper as I had expected, and comparing my lifts to one another, it wasn't as bad as I had thought xD. Honestly though, I'm VERY tired.

Straight Jacked:
So far this supplement has been treating me quite nicely. Because I work at GNC, I have TONS of supplements all over my room, which I load up on before every workout (which I have stopped for this log), but now only using this supplement, I've still been having some pretty nice lifts and like the energy from this.

I'll post an update on the product later in the future as I continue to use it.

[BCLabs]

Sound great. Keep it up. Great log

[Chimpinzo]

Sixth Day: 2 Scoop (scoop 10.5/30)
A little bit off (intended on working out yesterday), today I had no spotter so had to take it a bit easy on my bench. Other than that, I didn't feel too shot from this workout. Getting more used to focusing pulldowns towards my back muscles, which I have decided need more work.

All sets/reps today were very slow, focused, and controlled. No extra movement


Close Grip Bench Press
45's/10's------------------- 155 ----- 12/10/8/8

Machine Chest Press
----------------------------- 110 ----- 8/8

Pulldowns
----------------------------- 130 ----- 10/8/8

Roman Chair
-------------------------------------- 12/12/10/10/10/8

Barbell Curls (Some kid was hogging the 50, bastard)
------------------------------ 60 ----- 12/10/8/8

Leg Extensions
------------------------------ 150 ----- 10/10/8

Seated Leg Curls
------------------------------ 130 ----- 12/10/8/8

I intend on trying to workout to hit my thighs/chest/delts/upper back tomorrow, so I will be posting once again.

Apologies on the lack of progress pictures, I've been slacking on the posting o_O, so here you go. *I think I look better than I should today for some reason, but I don't think I should be complaining xD*

[Chimpinzo]

Seventh Day: 2 Scoop (scoop 12.5/30)
Decided I'd make up for last workout with this one, finish up the other muscles. Today was AMAZING. Shrugs, Flys

All sets/reps today were very slow, focused, and controlled. No extra movement

ATG Squats
45's------------------------ 135lbs - 12
45's/25's------------------ 185lbs -- 10
45's/35's------------------ 205lbs -- 7/7/7

Shoulder Shrugs
45's/35's----------------- 205lbs -- 12
45's/35's/10's------------ 225lbs -- 10
45's/35's/25's------------ 255lbs -- 7/7/7 -Grip nearly gave out on last sets

Dumbell Flys
20lbs ------------------------------ 12
22.5lbs ---------------------------- 10/10/10 -Some kid was hogging 1 25lb dumbell
25lbs ------------------------------ 7

Lateral Pulldowns(Palms Away)
140lbs ---------------------------- 10
120lbs ---------------------------- 12

Pullups(Palms Away)
------------------------------------- 8/7/6

Today was a freaking 5 set fiesta, I like the idea of doing 2 smaller sets to start, because it helps me warm up before I do the last 3 sets which burn out the muscle. Ignore the weights on the exercises, these reps were so slow it was absurd. I'm very happy with this workout. Perhaps it was carb timing or something o_O. 2 cups blended oatmeal + Weight gainer this morning.

I think I may have done more exercises today that I forgot to list... The list seems short, no progress pics, next time.
On a better note, I weighed in at 169.2 today . I know my weight will fluctuate downwards tomorrow with all probability, but good to see high #'s.

Ah yes, vital lesson reguarding Straight Jacked.
Time it so you finish it before you're done working out, probably 10-15 minutes before you're done. I had maybe... 1/4th-1/5th of my serving left after I had finished working out. Maybe it was just because I had just finished exercising, the stims in it RAPED me though, I was tired but energetic at the same time. It's enjoyable, but I couldn't relax and calm down even though I was all tired haha

[Chimpinzo]

Eighth Day: 2 Scoop (scoop 14.5/30)
Extremely shot during this workout. Not quite sure why, I felt REALLY shaky after my deadlifts, like I had a cold or something. Either my body's getting really messed up / tired and I need a break or something, I need to adjust my pre-workout nutrition, or something, but it worried me a bit.

Close Grip Bench Press
45's/10's-------------------- 155lbs -- 12
45's/10's/5's---------------- 165lbs --- 10

Rows (Bodyweight resistance)
--------------------------------------- 12/10/10/8/8

Seated Rows (Something similar)
------------------------- 105lbs ------ 10/8

Captain's Chair
-------------------------------------- 10/10/12/12

I'm at my friend's house for now, so I will put up post workout pictures later I assume (If I find the time)

I think I may be getting a little sick, I have been feeling tired recently, and I was shaking a lot after I finished my deadlifts.

*Uploaded Progress Pics*
-I look considerably smaller than last progress pic, I'm guessing it's the 'shine' thats on me from standing under my light. Stupid lighting T_T, nonetheless I don't mind too much, as I assume I haven't shrunk...

[TheBigEasy]

Nice log bro...I'm very impressed with your detail.

Same thing happened to me a few weeks back. Got a nasty cold and felt shaky during my lifts. Give yourself a day of rest and come back and kick some a$$. Listen to your body...it knows best.

No kidding. Hit up the gym today- first time in a week. Had some killer strep throat and apparently I am allergic to the antibiotics they gave me. Rough! Just keep at it.. that strength will come back!

[Chimpinzo]

Agreed, still going to keep hitting the gym just as hard / harder if I can to make up for it. I'm going to try to supplement with a bit more sleep, stack it with some healthy food, and maybe top it off with some R&R. That stack sounds pretty bomb.

-Any suggestions on things I could add to the log? Never did one before so I always feel like I'm missing something...

[willip]

If you wanna go all out on the log then you could always add your diet to it. However for the sake of this it is fine, I love straight jacked!

[Chimpinzo]

By the way... I know I should keep the same routine, but would I be able to throw in occasional split routines ?

Sometimes I'm just not feeling the full body workouts if you know what I mean. Body's too tired, or other whatnot reasons

[lambpasty]

Subbed, this looks to be an awesome log

[BCLabs]

Log look great. Keep up great work.

[Chimpinzo]

Ninth Day: 2 Scoop (scoop 16.5/30)
Just received permission from a BCL rep to change up my full body workout routine to a split (more recovery time). I needed it, so to shoot off my new workout routine, I NUKED my chest. No legs / back / etc because I have a prom to attend tomorrow xD.

Today's workout was GREAT. No nauseousness. I believe that I was getting the feeling from getting a near full body pump and lack of blood overall. Loved it



I heard about stretching / flexing your muscle between sets so tried it this workout. I feel like I need more of a rest between sets, but I got a crazy pump during this workout, so I'm a firm believer now xD.

Bench Press
45's/10's-------------------- 155lbs -- 12

Captain's Chair
-------------------------------------- 12/10/10/10

Today, the workout doesn't seem overly impressive down on paper, but I have to say, it was GREAT. It's just a feeling, when you know you've had a good workout or something, my triceps were dead SHOT when I began dips. Had my first real chest pump today, was interesting (I attribute this to the focus on chest today / flexing-stretching between sets)

I would have worked out longer, but don't want to be dead during prom. I'm excited, I have a newfound love for focusing on set muscle groups

*Just compared progress pics /w the other pictures. The difference is it looks like I had a bicep pump on the 3/25/08 picture, the past two, I don't believe I have any pump to speak. I'm fine with the pics xD

*Threw in an additional tricep shot for kicks today
