eating big for big goals with Muscletech Nano Vapor/Amino Build

[draybin]

Thank you team muscletech for choosing me as a logger . I love logs. Helps me measure my progress, and forces me to go over and evaluate each and every day of work I put in towards my goals. It holds me accountable. I won't go into to much detail off the bat but heres a little background:

I fractured my foot about 10 weeks ago and it put me out for 8 weeks. When I fractured it I was on the track&field team just before the season started training for the 100m&200m. The season is basically over now and now i'm just trying to get into condition for next year. When I was in season and before i fractured my foot I was really lean and light, as I was trying to keep BF down for maximum strength to weight ratio. Now its time to gain a few pounds in return for poundage on my bench, weighted pull up, deadlift, squat, and vertical. I'm going to do this by eating a lot of food. I eat mostly clean, but post workout its balls to the wall spiking dat insulin, and i'll have cereal or whatever. Lots of oatmeal, eggs, protein powder, quest bars, salads, chicken, beef, etc.

Today I hit chest/triceps in the AM before having a long day. After 6pm I gave NanoVapor a go for my sprint workout. Mixxed with 1 scoop of amino build

I will say the taste isn't too great. going to give it a 6/10 for now.

I then went and hit up some STAIRS! for sprints. did 5 sets of sprints followed with 3 sets of hops half way followed with sprints the other half. Then 1 set half way sprinting every other stair for half way. KILLED my legs.

Was tired, I had wanted to squat/deadlift but figured i will put that off to tomorrow probably, legs were shot from the stairs. Hit some shoulder isolations instead.

Just a brief intro for now. I will be going into much greater detail soon.

Heres the stairs(amazing):



thanks for following tomorrow I plan to lift so ill update ya guys with more details.

[koweanguy]

IN!
And nice scenery to do stairs

[draybin]

^Thanks bud.

My apologies. Strong updates to the log. Lol.

Today was my 2nd time using nano vapor/amino build since my first post. I was up at 5am and had school till 5pm as well. After school i packed a scoop of nanovapor/amino build with the intent of getting a workout in before going home.

The taste is still not on point. Has a weird aftertaste. But drinkable. 7/10.

Energy: 9.5/10 I noticed a nice boost. Half of it before my sprints then half after prior to lifting. Perfect dosage for me. Long day and kept me going.

focus: 8/10 I was definitely in my zone during my workout. Had the mindset of going hard, and getting it done. Had a good connection to my muscles, despite being so tired.

Todays workout:

Stair Sprints (Same stairs from pic on original post) <3
5 sets all out
2 Sets 2 foot hops half way, then all out the rest of the way
2 sets sprinting every other step
1 set 2 foot hops, then every other step, then every step all the way up.

Sickness. limped back to my car. Haha. We ain't done yet.

[draybin]

Thx men. Always a pleasure logging for muscletech.

Killed the weights today. Just killed the day in general. Had a scoop of amino build during my upper body workout and the endurance was very nice. The taste is really growing on me too.

Later in the day, it was time for sprints and squats. One scoop of nano vapor in 20 oz of water was beautiful. A little watered down, but the taste was there, and pretty decent. 8/10 taste.

I will say i enjoyed the motivation and energy it gave me to hit these sprints and then weights after. 10/10 in that aspect.

Did stair sprints 1 set all the way up to warm up.
5 sets half way up all out sprint (~100 yards)
1 set 2 foot hop each step 1/4 way sprint 1/4 way
1 set 2 foot hop every other step 1/4 way sprint 1/4 way

The stairs then got crowded. I was beat anyways, and it was pretty hot out. Decided to call it at that.

Time to Squat. Oh wait, someones curling in the squat rack.

Time to calf raise :P LOL

Seated Calf raises
70lbs - 3x15

Now its time to squat

BB Squats
135lbsx5
185lbsx5
225lbs - 3x3
Decided to say **** it, time to get my numbers up. Put some more weight on that bar. It don't matter how heavy it is, when I go down its coming back up.
245lbsx1
255lbsx1

Focus is really good with the nanovapor, as well as endurance as a combination with the amino build. Taste really bothered me at first but now I definitely enjoy drinking it. Gotta say the nanovapor is some strong stuff I definitely feel the stims with just one scoop. Good stuff overall.

The taste factor has grown on me dramatically. When I first tasted I was like, damn this is gonna be unenjoyable. It really is tasty and I look forward to drinking it.

Yup, I love that it still has a somewhat intense flavor with like 20+oz of water. amazing!

Didn't get to take my supps yesterday cause I was in a rush after work and had to get chem hw done.

Thanks for the update! I just cracked open some Nano the other day after not using it for a few months. I use two scoops in around 20 oz. of water.
