Big thanks to Formutech and Alecto42c for hooking me up with a full 30 serving tub of PERFORM, their BCAA supplement!
About PERFORM:
*(According to Formutech) With PERFORM, Athletes get the absolute most out of every minute of training. When intense training sessions deplete your natural energy stores, your body WILL turn to its own muscle for fuel! Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are metabolized from your muscle tissue, degrading hard earned mass and weakening your training performance. The ONLY way to prevent this is through BCAA supplementation.*
*PERFORM by Formutech Nutrition is specifically engineered to:
-Reduce Muscle breakdown during training and recovery!*
-Delay Muscle fatigue!*
-Help reduce delayed-onset Muscle soreness!*
-Promote Muscle growth!*
-Promote faster tissue repair!*
-Support optimum growth hormone levels!*
-Promote energy during intense training sessions!*
About Me
I am a D1 College baseball player and our first game is Friday! I am currently still finishing up my rehab from a torn meniscus so I am not quite cleared to play yet however my lifting has been intense and hardcore (only thing missing is squats).
Training
I follow a modified version of Arnold's philosophy from the Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding. Basically...
-Abs Every day
-Muscle Splits
-20-25 sets for big muscle groups & 10-15 for smaller groups
-Most exercises will consist of 5 sets each: 15,10,8,6,6 (or 15,12,10,8,8)
-60-90 sec rest between sets (mostly 60)
-Will throw in supersets, drop sets etc.
-Also I am currently Incorporating 2-a-days
My split:
M: Chest/Triceps/Calves
T: Back/Biceps/Forearms
W: Legs
TH: Delts/Traps/Calves
F: Bis/Tris/Forearms
S: Off-cardio/abs (or lagging body part)
S: Off-cardio/abs (or lagging body part)
I will be taking Perform post workout in each of my workouts (on lift days) and sipping on it in my gallon jug on non workout days. Since I do workout consistently more than once a day, I don't expect this 30 serving tub to last me an entire 30 days.
I have already taken my first serving this morning for my Chest workout, and I will be going back to the gym tonight to hit triceps, calves, and abs! I will do my taste test video ASAP and upload it here!
*also just as a note, I will be trying to use my brand new polar heart rate monitor for each workout so I can give specific info!

Day 3
Workout: Delts & Quads
Well I decided to change things up today. It is usually a full on LEG ATTACK day but I decided to switch it up because my hammies were tight as hell and sore (from my rehab the previous day... **** ton of running, agility, etc). I chose to pair Delts and Quads together because for the most part these are "pressing" movements, whereas traps and hams are more "pulling" (made sense in my head, hah). My quad work is still pretty limited but just wait for my hamstring day

Superset:
