-Weight: 186.47 (1 week average)
-Bodyfat: 14.2 (1 week average)


Training experience
For a good 6 years I was in a bodybuilder mode on and off but never had any desire to compete but just gain a lot of size. I went from around 135lbs to peak around 185lbs. I then started to get very inconsistant with my workouts and waveried anywhere between 165 - 180lbs. I never considered myself strong compared to the size that I gained. Then I started a Westside Barbell program back in November 2006 and have moved entirely over to the Darkside for good. I'm now training for a powerlifting meet in April of 2008.

Present diet
Currently for the past month I've been eating between 4,000 to 5,000 calories a day. Percentages split up somewhere around 40c/30p/30f.

Training outline
Typical Westside so far

Day1: DE Bench
Day2: ME Squat/DL
Day3: ME Bench
Day4: DE Squat/DL

Then throw in some GPP work here and there.

Current Bench, Squat, Deadlift
I did my 1RM 9 weeks ago now and was planning on waiting a good 12 weeks before I did it again. But I will go ahead and shoot for a 1RM again on my Squat, Bench, and DL. Then I will go for another 1RM in another 9 weeks after doing my test with IntraXCell and Steeledge and be able to compare. I know it probably wont be as large of a gain in weight increases as increases probably wont come as easy in the future.

Previous Max: (With creatine)
Squat: 355lbs
Bench: 255lbs
DL: 325lbs
Total: 935lbs

Current Max: (No Creatine)
Squat: 405
Bench: 270
DL: 385
Total: 1060

Goal Max in 2 months: (With Steeledge and IntraXCell)
Squat: 430
Bench: 280
DL: 405
Total: 1115

Any other relevant information
I've been off creatine now for over a month and can feel the effects on my endurance and recovery. I haven't lost any strength as I have consistently lifted PR's the past month. My muscles seem to get sore quicker and for longer periods of time. I was going to go back onto creatine by April before I saw the opportunity to test SteelEdge and IntraXCell and decided to try something different that is supposed to help with exactly what I'm feeling.

Will updated regularly the following information:
- My workouts
- How many calories, macronutrient (protein/carbs/fat) amounts
-Any cardiovascular or other exercise ? include intensity and duration: Cardio? What's that? I'll list any GPP work that is done.
-Any comments that I have on the product including side effects, impressions of the product, etc. even if they are possitive or negative
-Answer Any questions anyone might post or PM

Awesome man, looking forward to it!

Wow, that was a quick reply. Thanks, I am eagerly waiting to see how it can help with recovery and give me more energy for my workout in the early morning.

[Jason2459]

My first workout taking IntraXCell and SteelEdge will be this coming Monday so expect many updates from that point forward.

I think you will really enjoy the way you focus during your workout after taking SteelEdge. Most users start to notice the effects of IntraXCell around the two week mark, and your "old/normal" workouts will feel easier and much less tiresome.

[Jason2459]

Goals and How I plan to get there:
in another 9 weeks.

Bench: 280
I'm getting stuck on the bottom now so get some 1 and 2 board presses in my workouts. I'm thinking I also need some more delt and lat work to help out. Maybe throw in some ME OHP work. I also feel like I am going to slow on the decent so I'll speed up the decent on speed days instead of take is slow on the way down.


Squat: 425
I felt it was really hard to get down into the hole and feel if I was below parallel. I figure some more low box squats will help here.


DL: 405
Still having a hard time getting it to come up off the floor. I think I need more work with the DL off a platform or using 25lbs plates. Also need to add in some good pullthroughs and maybe some GM Squats and Zercher Squats.

[FORCE RECON]

Great goals Jason! Very well thought out plan on how to acheive those goals too

Week1/ Day 1

Comments
First day of taking SteelEdge and IntraXCell. Didn't know what to expect but was waiting and preparing myself for the "tingling" feeling that people talk about. I did notice more a rush feeling probably from the stimulants in SteelEdge which I'm not used to taking early in the morning or at all really. It felt like a drank two cups of coffee which I might do on occassion. My foot tapped quite a bit between sets and my body temp felt slightly elevated earlier in the workout. Normally I feel really warm after my workouts. Never got any tingling sensation but I took everything together this morning with my normal 3 scoops of Real Gains and 2 cups of milk. The taste wasn't as bad as I was expecting as I mixed a citrus flavor with chocolate flavoring. I did feel the buzz of stimulants well after my workout was over but I do a pretty quick and intense workout.

Solid first day

Thanks, didn't do any supplement work and kept it kind of easy on the assistance work. Sometimes I'll throw in some heavier supplemental work but not all out ME on my DE days after the DE exercise. I'll also do my bi's on this day occassionally.

EDIT: On those days I'd say my after workout energy levels would probably be somewhere between 2-5.

I just figured out what i'll be eating the rest of the day so I updated my food intake for the day in the above log entry.

[NKWulf]

Week1/ Day 2

Comments
A little about the experience taking the products. I wanted to mention a few things again about the taste. I said yesterday that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be and it's not. I wasn't saying that is was like drinking koolaide because it wasn't. I've just had much worse when it comes to supplement drinks. I might try it out tomorrow morning even though I don't workout by itself with water and see how it really tastes. Also wanted to mention that the scooper in the SteelEdge has way to long of a handle. Pain in the butt to pull out at 5:30am when you're still half asleep. I guess it's like that so people don't have to get their hands messy when it gets to the bottom but they still have to stick their hands in there to get it out. I said I was going to mention everything about these products in the log. The intraXCell caps are just the right size and I can pop all three in at the same time.

I was really tired this morning and didn't feel the kick from the SteelEdge as strongly this morning but did start noticing the blood rushing a little more than normal by the second set into my first exercise. I had a really tough workout and felt extremely drained by the end. One of those days where you just sit down in the locker room and try and decide to either hit the bathroom to throw up or hit the showers to cool down. My body temp was pretty high and I felt like I had steam coming off me coming out of the showers and sitting back down. I noticed my head was throbing a little on my way out of the gym. Not painful or a headache but just feel like the stimulants were still trying to kick in.

Finally starting to gain back my composure after todays workout now about an hour and a half to almost two hours since leaving the gym. This is typical for a really good intense Max Effort day for me.

I haven't done these in a long time. I figured I'm due to do them again. Watching the westside squat workout tapes I noticed how much explosive power they have in their hips when doing these and standing with a wider stance. Last time I did these I used a shoulder width or so stance. So, this time I brought my stance out like a squat and did them concentrating on exploding my hips into it. I can really feel them now.

I'm FREAKING HUNGRY... Although I'm hungry a lot of times but today before lunch I was ready to just devour anything in sight. I’ll be interested if I’m like that again just before dinner time. I do plan on snacking on a couple hard boiled eggs before then.

[Jason2459]

Well, I just realized it's started. I'm HUNGRY!!! I ate the eggs around 2:30ish and I'm now really starting to feel my stomach calling for more food. Now, I'm usually getting hungry by the end of the day and ready to go home and cook some food and eat by 6pm. But this feeling is different some how and hard to explain how this hunger seems different then before other than saying it is different. Also, I noticed I've a lot more water to drink than normal today. I'll be curious if this type of hunger continues on for the next few weeks. This will be GREAT if so and I'll boost up my calories to please the beast.

[FORCE RECON]

Very good detail Jason. Seriously, you do a great job of explaining how your day goes, from start to finish!

Increased hunger and thirst has been noted by many of our testers in the past. I personally like the fact that I am hungrier when I am on IntraXCell......it makes it easier to eat enough to gain

[Jason2459]

OFF Day

SteelEdge by itself:

I went ahead and took the SteelEdge this morning by itself to see how it tastes and feels by itself and not going to the gym. I mixed SteelEdge with a glass of water and the results so far... The taste is a citrus bitter taste. Not the best but not the worse, doable. I was waiting for it to kick in this morning and got to work with no affects yet which would have put it at about 20m after taking it. I was like hmm... no rush yet, no temperature rising, nothing.. Then about 10 more minutes past and I started to notice I was starting to talk faster and faster to people and realized it had in fact started to kick in. Then the buzz hit me about 5 more minutes after that. My head feels buzzed. Again, I can feel the blood going through my head. Not a headache or anything just a rush. I would say I'm talking fast and have a rush like drinking a couple cups of coffee but this deffinitly feels like there is more going on than just that. I don't feel any body temperature rise though.

In about an hour I'll be eating some oatmeal and taking the IntraXcell. I'm hoping this rush that I have now will start to subside by then so I can see if I feel anything special with just the IntraXcell by itself.

[Jason2459]

OFF Day Continues with IntraXCell

By about 10am I started to feel the effects of the SteelEdge starting to die down which was good because I wanted to try out the IntraXCell with my Oats and have as little of the SteelEdge effects still going on. By about 10:30am I had already started to eat my Oats and popped in 3 caps of the IntraXCell. I was really hoping to feel the tingle. In about 18 minutes out of no where I started to feel something and was really hoping to feel the tingling. But the tingling never happened. I was feeling my body temprature rising. By about 30 minutes into it I was feeling slightly light headed but didn't last long and never got any more serious than that. I didn't get my hunger cravings like I did yesterday either.

Yesterday's hunger cravings were as if I hadn't eaten all day. Like not just my stomach was on empty but my entire body was seriously demanding food.

As for a recovery from yesterdays ME workout, my gluts started to get sore last night. Today I have some serious DOMS going on back in my gluts and hams. This usually lasts until Friday just in time for my SQ/DL DE day.

Week1/ Day 3

Comments
After taking the IntraXCell last night with dinner I really didn't notice anything for a while. It was maybe 30 or 40 minutes after taking it did I notice a little throb in my head, nothing painful.

I still have my DOMS in my gluts/hams and walk fairly stiffly after standing up.

I was just so tired this morning and didn't want to get up. I hit the snooze once and waited for the alarm to go off again. I almost felt like giving myself a double scoop of the Steeledge this morning but didn't and kept it at a single scoop.

I got to break out my 2boards for the first time today. Luckly the SteelEdge kicked in by the time I got to the floor and started my first set. I started to feel the rush again and was ready to pound out another intense ME day. By the second set I could feel my temperature rising. Still no tingling but something else has happened and I can still feel it. Nothing that I've been trying for or really need but I got a "PUMP." I feel dirty now... I was doing some Straight Bar Tricep Extensions and I could feel my triceps just exploding. My shirt is filled out in the arms area and it's been at least two and a half hours later and I can still feel the pump and my shirt is still slightly streached.

By the time I was done with my training I was just ready to passout and couldn't wait to get into the shower to cool off. Again it took almost two hours to gain my composure and skin color back from look all flushed and drained.

The hunger bug got me tonight. I didn't get the super hungry before lunch but it sure hit again by dinner time. I even got a little bit of an acidic feeling in the back of my throat. I must eat more.

Thanks, I really enjoy trying something new. I've never been more than just a creatine and protein guy. I've never been into heavy supplementation and have pretty much always stayed away from them. There's way to much hype out there and to many things that want to play around with the hormones. This stuff looks very promising and doesn't try and do things your body isn't suppose to do.

Week1/ Day 4

Comments
Woke up this morning at about 3am really thirsty and kind of hungry. So drank a glass of milk and ate a few slices of ham wrapped with a few slices of cheese. Woke up with much more ease this morning compared to yesterday.

The DOMS in my legs started to easy up last night and my gluts/hams were ready to go this morning. As usual perfect timing for my next session. By the time I got on the floor of the gym I was ready to go and do some DE box squats and explode up with energy. I found that my foot was tapping a lot today also.

Took maybe an hour at most to regain my composure today from the workout. The pump in my tri's yesterday went away sometime in the afternoon to be replaced by some DOMS and also by last night it was there in my Lats also and still here full force this morning.

The Workout

DE SQ/DL
Parallel Box Squats @50% 1RM
12x2@205

Started off slow for the first three sets or so as my muscles warmed up but after that I got some really good speed and explosion off the box. I love making the bar shake and the weights rattle.

Assistance Work
Hypers
4x10@90

Pull-Throughs
4x8@90

DB Side Bends
3x10@80

My lower back was so freaking stiff that I had to lay down and curl up on a bench half way through the pull throughs. I looked like a dead bug. I probably looked like I had a broomstick up my ass on the way back to the locker room I was so stiff.
