Maverick's ThermaPHORIA - EUPHORIA Log

[Maverick777]

I finally received my 30 day sample of ThermaPHORIA (I'm the last logger to get their sample) - so here the log starts

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/est/thermaphoria.html

Expectations:
After reading the label on ThermaPhoria I expect this product to be a good preworkout supp. The components of it point towards an boosting energy, muscular recovery, and PUMP (vasodilation). As a guy with a small frame, big appetite, and a hard time at putting on muscle but no problem defining it this supp seems counter intuitive towards me gaining the muscle mass I want. However with the increased help it will give towards maintaining LBM (Lean Body Mass) and reducing FM (Fat Mass), I should be able to not only lift harder but eat much more in order to gain the lean mass I am looking for. In 30 days we will see the results!!!

Starting Stats:
Weight: 164.7lbs
BF%: range of 12-15% (lab is closed this week so I have no calipers)

Goals:
Weight: Maintain of Gain
BF%: 10% Flat

Day A: Chest/Triceps/Rectus Abdominus
Day B: Back/Biceps/Interal & External Obliques w/ Serratus Anterior
Day C: Legs/Shoulders (Delts/Traps)
Day D: Rest
Rinse & Repeat

Yesterday was my first day using TPhoria, but I am posting this up today, my workout, macros, and TPhor reflection.

Day 1

Workout - A

Abdominals-
Swissball (SB) Rollouts: 30, 25, 26
Hip Raises: 24, 18, 16
SB Weighted Crunch: 50lbs - 28, 28, 25

Tris-
Skullcrushers: 65x6, 75x6 (2 sets), 65x6 (3 more sets)
Tricep Kickbacks: 20x8 (2 sets), 30x8 (2 sets)

Macros:
Protein: 160g
Carbs: 242g
Fats: 108.5
kcals: 2585
- Note: Cheat Day of the Week (Tues) - had pizza that is why carbs are through the roof

TPhor Reflection:
I switched up my workout a bit today, I usually do 4 sets of 12-16 reps for abs but instead opted for failure on each set, I don't know how that is going to affect them, does anyone have any input on this??? My core is really strong so those high reps may just put me in the 10,000 crunches phase again...

I also did DB Flyes first instead of third which caused all consecutive lifts to drop... I'm trying to get my chest bigger by fatiguing it a bit more.

Onto TPhoria though. I took 4 capsules pre-workout and I felt energized throughout the ENTIRE workout. Which is amazing as I usually start to tire towards my last two exercises. The pills were also easy to swallow, but that is coming from a guy who had constant allergy problems as a kid. On the first day I am impressed with the ability of TPhoria to provide necessary energy.

- Baseline Pictures will be up tonight however I am feeling a bit bloated, I hate pizza so much I need to make sure I never eat it again...haha

[Maverick777]

Posting yesterday's workout today - I passed out after going to a comedy show.

Yesterday was my first day using TPhoria, but I am posting this up today, my workout, macros, and TPhor reflection.

TPhor Reflection:
4 capsules 30min pre-workout again. Was in a bit of a bad mood because of being called out on missing a class the other day (I could not possibly wake up after coughing up green mucus all night). I channeled it into some positive energy and decided to do arse to ground squats instead of parallel. I was quite surprised as I normally rep 225 parallel and did 195 arse to ground today...I might just keep on doing arse to ground.

[Maverick777]

those ATG squats...that is the weight of just the plates...forgot to put that, add 45lbs for the bar that is why I was so surprised lol

edit: fixed

[Maverick777]

Flying to texas for spring break - hopefully the TSA will allow me to carry on protein...

[SwolenONE]

subbed and yes, airlines have never given me any trouble when i take my EST supps with me.

[Maverick777]

I just got back from south padre after a week of spring break. I will be starting to lift again and I really need to.

Note: if you travel with BSN products, they will be tested for coke, regardless of your protests.

wow!!!!!

that must have been a pain in the ass!

[velocityrob]

wow!!!!!

that must have been a pain in the ass!

I'm glad it was Syntha-6, not Lean Xtreme. I'd still be in a Vegas jail.

[Maverick777]

wow I never knew that!!

I was able to get 2lbs of protein on the plan in my check baggage and then 6 scoops in my carry on no problem. However my hotel did not have a gym so I did nothing more than some simple push ups and crunch variations

However I did not take thermaphoria or creatine so I guess those would have thrown some flags.

I just got back in the gym today and below I will post everything

[Maverick777]

I feel like it really helped me get back into the swing of things today after 1 week of spring break hell. My lifts didn't really go down, and in fact flyes went up. I feel a little sick though so I could have done too much too fast

But then, I'm not exactly on a cut.

Good on getting healthy soon.

[Maverick777]

lol oh I can down a whole pizza in a sitting if I wanted to. Appetite has been down. Feeling a little better now and I should be getting back to a Day B workout tomorrow.

[SwolenONE]

Im going to spend today trying to eat as much food as possible, i had the flu over the weekend and am trying to play catch up on all the delicious food I could eat when I was sick.

[Maverick777]

Nice! I'm def feeling better right now. I just downed a pound of salmon, and had half a bagel this morning. I also just got done grilling 2lbs of chicken.

TPhor Reflection:
Some lifts did go down, some went up. I feel like TPhor gave me a little extra boost today since the padre decline. I am really motivated to get back to where I was both lift wise and look wise. I'm very deflated in the stomach right now which is frustrating

[velocityrob]

Hows the training coming along? Any insights to ThermaPhoria to share?

[Maverick777]

I've still been feeling like crap lately.

I had 45min of badmition on Thursday and used TPhor to get a boost as I felt really bad that day. Friday I didn't even go to the gym, went to my 8am Orgo lecture and then left for home (grandfathers and mom's b-day this weekend)

Monday I am getting back into my usual routine, I have been eating more and more and feeling steadily better.


However I can definitely attest to the fact that TPhor will get you off your butt when you use it. You will get things done in the gym despite if you are feeling sick. Its just afterwards you will still feel as before you took TPhor which is to be as expected.

My Macro's have been consistent each day though since I stoped posting them (no lifts no posts) - 40% protein, 25% fat, 35% carbs, 2.1-2.5k kcals

Thanks for the update. Try to get healthy, my man.

[SmokinFool]

UHHHH wow sorry Im late to the party!! SUBBED Now go get healthy all you sick fools

[Maverick777]

it sucks, this is the first time I've actually been sick in ~3yrs. and the last time I was sick it was food poisoning.

About to log some lifts today, not much, was still feeling like crap and I've dropped off a bit. This is a giant mental game, you just need to keep your head on right and muscle through the rough patches.

[Maverick777]

Day 8 - Day 7 was badmittion 45mins cardio

Workout - A

Abdominals-
yet to do - swissball at gym was flat

Chest-
DB Flys: 35x8, 40x6 (5 sets)
Inc DB Bench: 40x8, 55x6 (5 sets)
DB Bench: 65x6 (4 sets), 65x5, 65x6

Tris-
Skullcrushers: 45x8, 65x6 (5 sets)

Macros:
yes to finish eating

TPhor Reflection:
It is frustrating being sick and watching your lifts go down, let alone getting motivation to break down your body by lifting. I'm starting to get better, less drainage, less throat swelling, I don't feel like I'm going to puke all the time now. But it is still rough to lift with the intensity I could earlier. TPhor is probably helping me do more than I actually would without it. Doing abdominals later today and I also have badmitton.

[SwolenONE]

logs looking good!

[Maverick777]

yea I can't edit the above now.

Macros yesterday were 40-40-20.

I have not done abs because I still feel like I am going to puke while lifting sometimes.

Lifted about 2hrs ago, will get that up after I'm done writing this reports intro

[SmokinFool]

Glad to see you back man!

[Maverick777]

Thanks, I have't slept in 28 hours due to class/the above mentioned report.

After I'm done class today I'm going to sleep and then writing up what I did yesterday
