MUSCLETECH is about to get KISSed....with CreaCore & Test HD

[KissIcon]

After a bit of a snafu and a little wait, I have received, from the kindness of BlueRev and MuscleTech, CreaCore and Test HD. I greatly appreciate the being selected to try these products out to see what benefit they may be to me.

A little bit about me: Age, weight, ect. is listed with my avai so no need to list that. I am still on the meand, yes still, after almost a year out from double cervical fusion surgery. I lost alot od strength and some size in a short amount of time as well as picking up some unwanted body fat. My strength has been a slow process in recovering as my nerves were damaged quite a bit and some of my muscles do not "fire" like they should. Hence, I also am a bit off on symentry.

I do not have a training "plan" per sey', I just change things up every so often. My severe OCD prevents me from doing any kind of plan, unless it is written down and forcebly given to me along with demos if I amnot sure what is being spoken of, therefor, I do alot and have learned pretty much all on my own.
I am only back at dead lifting after almost a year and weight being pulled I hope to improve, however I still cannot DL on a regular basis yet.
I only attempted squats for the first time in almost a year as well and I already know, this will not happen anytime soon but I do what I can do when it comes to legs.

What I am hoping to accomplish on this short run with CreaCore and Test HD is a little bit of recomposition, drop a bit of body fat, get a more full look and feel to what muscles I have and boost some of my body's natural energy and strength. The training may be a little boring and light-weight to some, but I do work none the less. I post music vids from time to time as whatever comes across that helps me lift, motivate and pretty much kick the chit out of the iron. Be fore warned, my music is uncensored (when I can find it) and may offend, or motivate, either way, it's what I like.

Questions, comments, feel free to drop a reply. That's what this is all about.

So, without further ado, let it begin............

Thoughts - Session was ok. Didn't seem to be as brisk of a pace this evening. Had alot on my mind though so may have been one reason. I am also self rehabing a shoulder snafu as well so strength is down from that too. Dr. visit?...........meh....as soon as I have time. Struggled with it during my last log so I can make it through this one.

As for the Test HD, obviously nothing to comment on about that as this is only my second day.

As for the CreaCore, first taste of it this evening. No format here but first impressions for now were average. I got the Orange Fusion. It defenitly popped my eyes open. It had an after taste of an orange creamcicle. Not a favorite flavor but will man up amd use it anyway. Besides, not all things that are benificial for you are always going to taste great. It's managable though. Mixed fairly well. No problems there. I will have more about this a little later in the log.

For now, I have to finish up as my hands are tired and I am not spelling or typing worth a chit right now.

Tomorrow; cardio.

Thanks for coming on in bro.

Well, Saturday was a bust for most anything. Nutrition was not good, although beit not all that bad. Was out all day long from 6:30am-7:30pm. A typical workday is like that but the weekend is supposed to be a little more laid back. At any rate, nothing done on Saturday.

Today, Sunday, managed gym and a little yardio to make up for the lack there of of cardio.

Back & Bis

2 scoops Volatile
1 cap Test HD

Intra
1.5 scoops Amino build

Post
1.5 scoops CreaCore

Treadmill - 10 minutes for cool down

Done

Thoughts - As far as the Test HD and CreaCore go, not much to say as of yet. This Orange Fusion is going to take some getting used to though.
Deads was a spur of the moment decision. I was going to lay off of them for at least another week or two but the gym was empty and it was like, "what the hell, why not". Hence why I only did a few sets as I did not want to push it too far. My left arm is still weak as phuck and don't know if it is ever going to get back to normal but I keep trying. Curls were weak at best but at least this time I was feeling the contractions better in my left. I was going so slow and trying to focus so much on the contraction, reps were not many at all.
All in all though, wasn't a bad session, especially since I didn't have one yesterday.

So, Cardio and abs will end up being on the menu for Monday evening.

Thanks 911.

Glad to have you along.

[furyhockey]

in for this one. Subbed!

Solid last couple of sessions. As for the Creacore, use more water. I recommend this for almost all MT products except Phase 8 because the flavoring is strong with most of them.

I noticed that with the Amino Build as well. But I had to cut the serving back on that because my shaker is only so big I use 1.5 scoops of Amino Build.

I use two scoops in a little over 20 ounces with that product.

yeah, that's the size shaker I have. Guess it is the flavor of the Amino at the moment; White Grape, a bit too sweet for me. Green Apple is next once I finish this batch.

try mixing your creacore with the aminobuild you will like it

I would try that but I don't think the sweetness of the white grape would go too well with orange fusion.......

Thoughts - Went pretty well. Had to stop myself as I wanted to do more but no time, which was a good thing. Save a little for tomorrow.

Still not much to comment on the Test HD or the CreaCore as of yet, although, just in my opinion, it takes some helluva taste buds for the orange fusion flavor

finished up cardio to this:



felt a little like this walking out of the gym:

Doing it again tomorrow........

[koweanguy]

Very detailed workout routine & experiences!
But one itty bitty question.. why is CreaCore the only thing that is highlighted?

And wooohooo! DTP is one hell of a routine!

Also, sick cardio song! Especially "Disturbed- Meaning of Life".

[geoffers12]

In on this one to see what you think...good luck man

Thanks brah.

lol....I sometimes try to highlight in a color that resembles the flavor, in the case Orange Fusin

I like DTP, especially if short on time. I really have only done it for chest and back though. I throw it in from time to time to mix things up a little.

trust me bro. I us the two post training mixed together and the tartness of the orange creacore balances out the wg AB

I've tried that chest/back workout. I also used the same principle and spit both those parts up. I like it.

[KissIcon]

Sorry no update yesterday. I just have a ton o' chit happening right now, some of which I will go into later as it may effect the log a little.

I did get a leg session in yesterday evening and will try and get this update in later today as time allows me as I am at work and have to bounce back and forth between things so be patient.

It was a decent session though, except my knee feels a bit off this morning. I'll be back a little later...........

Oh, and I almost forgot, it's.....................

Post Training
vitamin C, 1.5 scoops CreaCore / Orange Fusion

Thoughts - Squats suxed but in some own self defense, I was trying for more form than anything. That's phucked at the moment. Add to that I just can't take the pressure of the bar on my traps and squats tend to be suxy. Believe it or not though, I didn't mind and was rather pleased as I can live to fight another day. Rest of the session was good though. I figured, since I legs got as tight as a snare drum, pumping like mad and all I could manage to do was a hobble, it'll do.









playing catch up so another entry cming right up.

nothing wrong with working on the form and not some heavy azz weights
