Bioforge v3 first T booster 8 week log

**blackrain35** · 10-10-2011, 03:24 PM

Took my first 3 caps today of bioforge v3. Going to take 3caps every morning for about 8 weeks, i have two bottles.

STATS:
158.4lbs
5'10
20 years old
13-15% bf

GOAL: bulk

Exercising:

MWF 0600-0700 ROTC conditioning. i will not really post any further info regarding this. just be assumed that MWF mornings i have conditioning which consists of a mixture of jogging, sprints, body weight squats, push ups, ab work, lunges, planks etc.

Monday- Back/Triceps + weighted abs + ROTC
Tuesday- Legs + forearms
Wednesday- Shoulders + Obliques + abs + ROTC
Thursday- Off
Friday- Chest/Biceps + weighted abs + ROTC
Saturday- Legs + Forearms
Sunday- Off

Diet + Supps:
I will not keep track of my diet as I am a college student and barely have time to keep track of this. I will be eating mostly chicken, brown rice, eggs, egg whites, mozz cheese, wheat bread, peanut butter, jelly, milk, bison, hamburger helper. Just whatever I get my hands on. It will most definitely not be a clean bulk, but a bulk indeed.

Other supplements consist of:
CL Fish Oil (2 at dinner)
CL orange triad (3 at breakfast, 3 at dinner)
Xtend (if i am really hungry before gym, will drink intra)
ON whey (30 minutes after waking up/bioforge v3, post ROTC, post work out)
ON casein (before bed)
Superpump max (before gym 5 days a week)
Creatine mono on 2 off days (in AM with whey 30 minutes after wake up/bioforge v3)
Bioforge v3 (3caps at wake up)

NOTES:
I am mainly using this to keep record of my lifts and how they improve. I just started using this program so they should improve as I am not exactly sure what weight is good to start on so at the beginning I should notice a steady gain and hope by the time bioforge kicks in I will keep the improvement up.

I also will not be starting my work out until Wednesday, skipping the first back/leg days. I hurt my calf pretty bad on saturday 10/8 so taking it really easy to help get back on the horse. any comments or questions appreciated.. there are no rude questions, as long as productive.

I am coming off of a month SS program. Low reps higher weight with hemavol + no creatine.

In. Interested to see how it goes for you, considering we have similar stats.

**blackrain35** · 10-11-2011, 10:46 AM

didnt really notice anything different yesterday or with my first night of sleep. didnt expect to as i just started bioforge. my calf is still really sore and am starting to notice black and blue around my ankle so i am hoping i didnt hurt it too bad because i still want to squat and work out my legs. guess i will find out how severe tomorrow when i try to run. just a little info for today as im not lifting yet. will start tomorrow.. just trying to post every day.

**TheHulk305** · 10-11-2011, 10:57 AM

Youre gonna love it bro, it will be my third week on it on Thursday and so far it has been incredible. I sleep MUCH deeper, that part didnt happen till about the second week. Also every time Ive been in the gym, i have broken a PR in EVERY lift. Enjoy man !

**THEHUGE** · 10-11-2011, 12:41 PM

In for the ride

**blackrain35** · 10-11-2011, 09:34 PM

So my girlfriend just broke up with me and I am not in the best of moods.. and my hurt leg really upsets me when i can run and participate in my ROTC conditioning.. is this still a good time to start my cycle? will my negative mood damper the results or would the bioforge really help me get back into a better mood so maybe this is the perfect time to start?

any input helps.. thanks. Day 3 tomorrow! finally hitting the gym after a couple days off.

EDIT: second night i woke up every 2hrs for no reason

**FromTheStretch** · 10-12-2011, 12:39 PM

I'm in. I say kill it for 8 weeks and see what she thinks when you look different, a good different, then date her best friend

I've heard good things about mood on V3 so this is the best time.YOU time.

Hard to say...a nasty mood won't help for sure. Serious stress kills. Sorry to hear that.

**blackrain35** · 10-12-2011, 04:26 PM

well im pretty good at blocking most the stress out. i think its just bad right now because i also have two midterms coming up.. i feel a lot better now also after attending the gym! thanks for the input. and fromthestretch, that is my motivation! hahah should work out well. i am not very good with logs so different format tips is greatly appreciated!

First gym day felt good.. as always superpump max kept me going strong throughout. not much notice in BF yet but only third day..
Note: first day with this workout in like two months so figuring out the correct weight. I also would normally do deadlifts but my TA is hurt so didnt even want to attempt anything involving my leg.
The way i record is:
Exercise - first set - second set - third set @ weight used
Shooting for 12-12-12 then i move up weight next time.

Shoulder/Oblique day:
Standing Military Press 12-10-10@75
Side DB raise 11-9-8@20
Front DB raise 11-11-10@20
Rear DB raise 12-7-7@15
DB shrugs 6-6-6@80
Cable Twists 12-12-12@60
Side DB extensions 12-12@45 (Not sure proper name.. just taking db and almost rub the side of your hip from knee to ab area.. hah)

Ab work:
Decline crunches: 6-6-6@20
Leg raises 6-6-6@Body weight (leg hurts, didnt wanna put weight on ankle)
Rope pull down 10-10-10@120 (i have trouble feeling this in my abs. any tips to help focus abs would be nice or alternative ab work out)

overall - not noticing anything yet.

Yea man, a break up 2 years ago started up my gym days, now I'm addicted.... and yea.... she really wanted to come back a few months later, and I had already started seeing other girls. The world turns...

**blackrain35** · 10-13-2011, 04:57 PM

feeling pretty good today. midterms coming up in school so little overwhelmed but positive mood not sure if from it or not. i have noticed i havent been sleeping as long in my naps during the day and i dont really have the desire to take the naps as much as i did before. not sure if from bioforge or if from the caffeine which i am not used to in the superpump max.

Day off from gym tho. tomorrow is chest and bicep!

**blackrain35** · 10-14-2011, 05:28 AM

I have noticed slight headaches after taking the bioforge in the morning. within 5-10 minutes and goes for about 25 minutes. How much water should i drink with the three? Also, they seem to be tasting worse and worse haha but i did notice a deeper sleep. Didnt wake up at all.

One problem i seem to have is not eating for 30 minutes after. Is eating(protein shake) 20 minutes after that big of a difference? I guess i shouldnt be asking questions in my log haha

EDIT: work out

DB bench 12-12-12@45
BB decline (didnt have time to do this, too many people were on it and had to catch a plane)
BB Incline 12-12-12@85
Cable Flys 12-11-10@50
BB curl 10-10-9@65
1 arm DB preacher curl 12-12-12@17.5
Hammer curl 12-12-12@22.5

Still kind of figuring out where I am starting and what not.. should be able to improve rapidly for the first couple of weeks if not the whole time..

Will edit with workout later today. Off to ROTC i go..

20' would be ok but...can't you really resist?
12 oz of water are fine.

**blackrain35** · 10-16-2011, 08:41 PM

went out of town for the weekend. Day 5 and Day 6, starting to notice dreams in my sleep! I have not been a dreamer for months or over a year now so this is new and good signs of a deeper sleep.

Def a sign something is happening. I got that when I started Tri/AX. I went as far as to research it because I wasn't sleeping through the night well, and when I was asleep it was just vivid dreams. REM sleep, where you remember dreams most, is actually a light sleep. With that said, I was never really too tired the next day. I still felt strong as hell in the gym and almost never felt like my body needed a deep sleep. I'll be trying bioforge next...

**THEHUGE** · 10-18-2011, 05:20 AM

Deep restful sleep = recovery.

**blackrain35** · 10-18-2011, 07:29 AM

fromthestretch - i think you should.. hopefully i can get some more info on it with my experience as time goes on but week 1 and i definitely see the sleep improvement. i also seem to have a more positive attitude even with my situation. im 20 and my father passed away almost a month ago and its been hard taking care of my mom(not 24/7 but just helping her talking to her more etc.) and being in college and losing a gf.. i have two tests today and i still dont feel too stressed out. ive been very positive and i think it might be from this cause from all the factors i should be in a negative mood i would say haha but ill post my workouts later today after my tests.

first leg day is today! back/triceps yesterday

Note: what is thoughts on splitting back/tri instead of back/bi ? my view is that my tri will be less sore and be able to lift more weight on back day compared to chest day.

**FromTheStretch** · 10-18-2011, 07:50 AM

Glad to hear you're feeling good. My best friends father just passed, very close to me. Keep you're head up, you seem like a stand up guy.

As far as your splits, I've always seen good results from keeping my pulling motions together (back/bi) and pushing together (chest/tri). I usually hit them early in the week (Mon/Tues) so my arms are good to go for shoulder workouts later in the week (Fri). If I throw in bis/tris on shoulder day I've hit arms twice in one week. Noticeable arm mass is tough for a tall guy like me though... that's why I push for arms twice a week.

i definitely agree with you on that one. i think i posted my split at the top but this is my first time trying back/tri because i was looking into ronnie colemans bulking routine he posted. figured it doesnt really matter as long as i work them all out. i do back/tri monday then shoulders wed and chest/bi friday. i would probably get a some extra arm work in on wednesday. maybe ill add in a exercise or two to each muscle because i am definitely slacking in the arm area.. as i am everywhere actually haha

**blackrain35** · 10-18-2011, 08:03 AM

Back + Triceps

pendlay row 12-12-10@115

How's your appetite these days?

^ This is about the time I got really hungry. Like... tapeworm. Probably from working harder from motivation too.

**blackrain35** · 10-20-2011, 07:47 AM

Diet isnt as good as i wish it would. i am pretty picky eater and cant eat a lot of the same thing so i get bored of eating. i have noticed i am able to drink a lot more water without using the bathroom as much as i used to.. but i am trying to work on eating more so i can see improvements.

Sleep: I have also noticed the past three days i have work up 20-45 minutes before my alarm. not sure why.. but i am dreaming still which is new and good!

Recovery: I think it is because its a new high volume workout for my muscles and not used to it but i have been sore in each muscle for at least two days after i work them out.

Overall mood: I would say my mood has been pretty positive. at the gym and after i just want to wreck someone's sh!t but in the evenings sometimes i get pretty down because of my situation with my father, gf/ex, and just boredom so i get upset. i have noticed a boost of confidence. excited to see how i feel after two weeks!

Shoulder Day

Standing military press 12-11-7@80
Dead lift 2x5@80, 1x3@120, 1x2@160, 1x5@205
Side DB Raise 12-12-12@20
Front DB raise 12-12-12@20
Rear DB raise 12-10-10@15
DB shrugs 6-6-6@90 (will have to switch to barbell in squat rack because i just couldnt hold onto the dumbbell long enough to do 6 the third set with my left hand)
Cable twists 12-12-12@60
DB side ext. 12-12@45

Pretty good improvement from last week's shoulder day ^^ wasnt just a rep or two

**rdslide** · 10-20-2011, 09:26 AM

Try picking up some straps to help your grip on those DB shrugs, they really help out!

**justfive** · 10-20-2011, 09:53 AM

what is your reasoning behind running this stack at 20? Not saying its bad or anything, just interested in why you chose to run it.

Good luck with keeping it all together though. I would say go with the stack for one reason: the log will keep you focused, preoccupied, and it will provide some sort of foundation and structure in your life.

I use the gym as a means of resetting myself when things arent going that well. Its a place where I can always go back to and reflect on many things that happen in my daily life. Its a way of realizing that some things dont change, and that I am still capable of achieving all of my goals. Keeping my bioforge log has allowed me to take things to the next level (as cliche as that sounds) with it comes to all of this.

Good luck to you

**blackrain35** · 10-20-2011, 03:35 PM

as far as the straps go.. i think i will. but i might just go back to 80lbs and increase the reps instead. i like how it builds my forearm and hand strength. im still deciding what to do with that but straps is a good idea!

and yes the log is good to keep me on track with the gym and my progress and just take some time off my hands.

I decided to try bioforge mostly because of the overall mood increase.. i know i can increase my strength with just working out and eating im not at any point to actually "need" a test booster as i am only 20 years old. but i was just hoping to increase my sleep, overall mood to be more positive, and things like that. i have noticed better sleep and more confidence which is what i want mostly.. i was falling no where fast and i wanted a mood enhancement..

i know it wont effect my test too much but i think it will/is enough to just get me back on track in the right direction, in the gym, and just in life in general. i do not plan on cycling any other test products anytime soon. but i might enjoy the results too much and be "addicted" we will see.. i always take things to the extreme and a pre workout and protein wasnt enough.

**justfive** · 10-20-2011, 03:41 PM

theres a lot of stuff which will help with mood and sleep. check out the SNS line

**blackrain35** · 10-20-2011, 06:11 PM

as stated above.. i always take things to the extreme. go big or go home.. so i just decided with bioforge because of its reviews in all categories.
