ANGER...Im generally a nice person...but today I go into my gym bag which is left around and find my versa gripps missing after I used them only minutes before...that means someone PURPOSEFULLY went into my bag and took them...that was my first birthday present from Lindsey...I was BEYOND pissed...I am BEYOND ANGRY...I reported it but the fury thats inside of me is BOILING...I hope to GOD I find the a**hole who stole them...those many people who "hate" on me at the gym but you know what, I could care less...hate me all you want, say whatever you feel, but to steal property from me? Seriously? You cant stand me THAT much...we'll guess what...that crosses the line...

Lindsey's First Vlog - Meet the Princess

[The Solution]

Oh Snap. We get to meet the better half.
Eager to see how her progress goes as you keep her motivated in the gym. Girl is a squatting machine

[fittofattofit]

Who'd want to steal someone's sweaty used versagrips? .. there are some low lifes out there. Pretty stupid as well because you'd know them if you saw them on someone

Back to the lifting: I love that 5:2:1 tempo you were using on the bench for the 270s. Those slow negs are the way to grow! Must've felt it in the pecs and tris then, and you still went and hammered them with the weighted dips! So close to 3 plates!
Awesome lifting as always
And you're lucky to have Linsey

HAHA!

Effectiveness: 12/10 - Usually I am completely recovered after using COR BCAA...but this morning I woke up and felt not only recovered...BUT REFRESHED! This is what happened previously when I beta tested the product and gotta say the feeling is incredible! It will be interesting to see what happens as I hit around the 9th or 10th day of using this product straight...even though its more optimal preworkout...I am feeling the increased benefits to beat out COR BCAA intra

[The Solution]

Try to keep the AA as a standalone for your review if all possible. Throwing in c4 and other factors will really degrade the review (and why i sent it to you)

I know you love your stacks, but try to take it as a standalone if possible to gauge it to a greater degree

Thank you.

Effectiveness: 12/10 - Read below for the specifics but MAN! No only was my recovery from yesterday's workout better than when I previously took COR-BCAA but my recovery between sets was better than before as well! Usually take around 1-2 mins between sets on this specific day...today was more around 30 seconds. Also something to note was that my muscles seemed a lot fuller than in past days as well as I hit PRs throughout the session like always (which cant be fully attributed to AA as I hit PRs everyday anyway but still something to note.)

Cellucor Alpha Amino Lemon Lime 15 Day Review - Day 1

[The Solution]

Never got to try Lemon Lime so eager to see how the other reviews come out too!!!

[wrkoutfrq]

PHuck yeah man, can't wait to see how you do in a PL meet, even a lot of big name PLers don't squat to depth until the meet. Plus with a good taper and peak into the meet you ought to make a BIG splash!

[TakedaShingen]

I'm glad you're finally gonna take the PL meet plunge. My man.

I'm definitely in to see you training to depth with EVERY fkn rep. You'll be back up to those numbers in no time at all...all with proper depth.

You know you need to keep me in the loop as far as this meet goes. I'll definitely show up.

IM SO AMPED FOR IT MAN!!!! Honestly, I have a competitive personality so when I do something, I do it to win Even though its my passion...I can't go in with the mindset of "idk as long as I do my best"...I go in knowing i need to push to be BETTER than my best! PUMPED!!!

Honestly the depth is a lot easier to hit than I previously thought and honestly...I'm thinkin a 550 squat shouldn't be TOO hard within the next upcoming months but again thats just speculation on my part. Will keep everyone updated! Would love to get a bunch of people in it!

Cellucor Alpha Amino (Lemon Lime) - BCAA - Intraworkout
Dosage: 1 scoop preworkout / 1 scoop intraworkout
Water Used Per Scoop: Tried 8 oz preworkout and was too strong for me so ended up going with 14 oz of water intra and taste was spot on for my preference!!!!
Form: Shake
Taste: 10/10 - 14 oz per scoop is perfect for a lightly flavored lemonade drink! Any less and it seemed too strong for my liking.
Mixability: 10/10
Effectiveness: 12/10 - Interesting...again pump felt increased as well as overall endurance! Energy levels and focus were typical for me so no increase there. Absolutely recovered faster than ever intraset today even with heavier weights!

~Recovery From Last Session: 10/10
~Duration of Negative Effects: 0/10 - No negative side effects what so ever
~Duration of Positive Effects: 10/10 - Never stopped! Woked up without the refreshed feeling I typically get but may be due to 1 hr sleep haha

Water to Scoop for Desired Flavors
*Per 1 scoop Alpha Amino
8 oz = Extremely strong and tart
10 oz = Moderately flavored Lemonade type taste
14 oz = Lightly flavored lemonade taste and my personal preference when taken intraworkout
