For Starters...
Hey guys, its time to log SizeOn v2 Maximum Performance. I was pretty stoked to be among the first 10 selected to use this. I'm currently bulking which is why I went with Max Performance vs. Pre-Contest. I have used SizeOn before. I ran two tubs once and three tubs the other time, all continuous. By far it was one of my favorite creatine and intra-workout supplements. Wild Berry was my second flavor to Lemon which was great. The best was when you mixed the two

.

Diet and Training Protocol
My Diet as of late has been pretty non-existent. I do a fairly good job at all times of eating the right foods and focusing in on protein. I was a little sick and lost a few quick pounds and had no appetite. When I started feeling better it felt like I was starving and I was just putting down everything in site. Last night I did have some ice cream(cold stone ftw!) so I'll wait a couple days for starting weight and measurements.

Training is fairly simple. Push/Pull/Legs. I've done this split twice before and just started it last week. Legs is always done on Sat or Sun and upper body workouts are M-F.

My Observations
Here is what I'll be paying attention to daily per the Gaspari Expectations:

Quote:

1. Your appearance before and after training compared to "normal"
2. Strength
3. Endurance
4. Your overall energy levels
5. Any training and exercise in detail

Other Supplements
XF Whey
CryoShock preworkout
Amino Acids at various times

Thanks again Gaspari, you guys rock! Any questions, feel free to ask

Training:
Solid day today. Haven't worked out since Thursday and put in some work. Knees are slightly sore now post workout.

SizeOn Observations:
1. My appearance today was great. Between the extra carbs last night and the SizeOn I was looking thick. On leg day my upper body always looks a little better and today it was showing up great.

2. Strength was on par today. The 7 PPS for Leg Press is my PR but I missed it by a few solid reps. I went pretty deep on a rep and had to rack it. Other then that the SLDL might as well of been a PR. Form was perfect and I'm not sure what my previous PR was.

3. Endurance wise I felt great. Just kept going. Once I hit the FST7 Calves I was done. Legs were pumped to the max so I moved on to some Core work.

4. Energy was great. I had a good night sleep, solid breakfast of eggs and sausage, then tore up the gym. Could of easily kept going if my legs weren't pumped and done.

As I said before, I have used SizeOn in the past. This SizeOn, v2 Wild Berry, is easily the best tasting SizeOn I have had. I used 24 oz of cold water with a few ice cubes thrown in. Throughout my workout I was enjoying sipping on it between sets. There is no way someone can not like this. It is one of the best tasting intra-workout supplements out right now. I'm eager to try the orange Pre-Contest sometime.

Training:
Didn't plan on training today but after a slow day at work and me being eager to hit an upper body day with SizeOn v2. Had a great pump going all workout. That's one reason I hit the Machine Chest Press as its half press/half flye. Dig it every once in a while.

SizeOn Observations:
1. I stay pretty covered up in the gym lately so the only thing exposed was my arms from the t-shirt line down. Arms were looking great with a little grainyness to them. Weight was 208 today up from 207.5 yesterday.

2. Could of been a PR on Straight Bar Pushdowns on this machine. They felt real good in that rep range. Pressing was ok, feel like I've lost a little strength with my fluctuating weight lately.

3. Could of easily kept going. I felt great and hit my chest and triceps how I wanted. I didn't want to push my shoulders too hard as its early in the work week and I use them a lot at work.

4. Felt good here as well. I do take a preworkout supplement so its a little hard to gauge.

Taste is fantastic. In 24 oz its one of the best tasting intra-workout drinks I have had. Before with SizeOn v1 I used close to 40 oz of water at times just to dilute the strong flavor. I think this SizeOn v2 will adapt a lot better to those who don't use a ton of water IWO.

I use to train at Xtreme Fitness on 14 and Van Dyke, but he closed down the gym. So I'm at Powerhouse on 14 and Hayes now.

Miss my old gym, was a real gym not a social club. =p

I hear ya. Guy I work with goes to the same gym as you, that's why I was wondering. I try and help him a lot but he's got his mind made and its hard to help people like that. Been good teaching him diet but he's got a ways to go.

Tell him to get with me on here, no homo. I need a lifting partner.

I was thinking about runing iForce's MaxOut on this stack as well.. Giving it time to think about. What you think?
