ProMera Sports: Peak 400 & Con-Cret Log with Genesisgin and Dnas for Team CP

[Dnas]

Hi Guys, First of all i would like to thank Promera for the opportunity to try and review these products, and i will do my best to diligently record my results.

I also want to apologize for joining in a little late. I spent the last 3 weeks out of the country, and unfortunately i was unable to touch a weight the entire time. I will be back on the grind tomorrow and ready to smash some legs.



My name is Josh kaplan. I am a 21 year old college student from southern california and soon to be moving to Indiana to attend Indiana University. I have a love for fitness, and it has been apart of my life for about 8 years. I was a wrestler in high school which gave me my first introduction to weight lifting. I was a mediocre wrestler but i always noticed my body developed better than most of my peers. When high school was over i decided to step my game up a notch. Slowly but surely with much trial and error i began to progress and i am still doing that. I am not an expert but i am learning every day and applying that to my training. I was fortunate enough to compete in my first NPC physique show this year at the age of 20. Here were my photos from April:



Since then i have bulked extremely hard. Gained loads of strength, and a bit of muscle. Also quite a bit of fat unfortunately. Here is my current:


I will be working from this point forward to gain lean mass, and may even do a short cut.

In terms of supplementation in the past i have kept it quite simple. I take Multivitamins, Fish Oil, and Flax Seed Oil and Creatine. i eat a mostly clean diet with cheat meals whenever i feel like(When i am bulking of course). I am quite excited to try the new Promera Supps.

My current Lifts are:
Bench 315x3
DL: 405x3(I have never 1rm)
Squats 315x5(i have a hurt knee and have not been comfortable pushing past this yet.

I will be checking in tomorrow and logging my workouts for the next month.

Thanks again! Hope you guys are as excited as i am.

135x4x10 Slow and Controlled using full ROM

Thanks again!

In on this thread! Fellow MISCers and Physique competitor brahs!

Thanks for the support man, glad to have you along for the journey.

Workout today: Legs
PWO: Peak400 and prework

6 sets of leg raises till failure.

Squats:
135x20
185x15
205x8
And this is where the bad news starts

Halfway through my last squat set i felt a huge pop in my lower back and immediately racked the weight. I could immediately not move my back and walked straight out of the gym. This is not heavy weight for me so i don't know what happened.

Will be going to the DR tomorrow to get some information.

Wish me luck brahs, I really want to build my wheels up and get better.

[oakleym26]

Good luck at the doctor dnas. Hopefully nothing to serious!
