Taste: 9/10
For some reason i thought this was going to be cherry flavored maybe due to the red on the label. So i was pleasantly surprised with the refreshing lemonade...and it was very refreshing LOVE the lemonade! Great taste...but like anything it can get better so a 9.

Thoughts:
Incredible. I felt the back pump after just the first set of BB Rows. It only got better... With the biceps i started to feel the incredible pump from the Alt. DB Curls...I never really get insane pumps from BB Curls...I noticed more veins than usual in my right forearm. I was looking real vascular and felt real solid.
Energy was very good as well throughout the whole workout. Nothing like i get a spike of energy then i'm dead tired. It was steady stream of energy.

I dont usually do the DB Hammer Curls, but i was still energized and i was bored waiting for my freinds to finish so i just did 3 sets.

Starting Weight: 185.6 lbs. (taken pre-workout after lunch and the pre-w/o shake)

Dosing:
1.5 hours pre-w/o:
1 cap anabolic pump taken
1.25 hours pre-w/o:
pre-w/o shake: ~50g oats, ~30g protein, 4 caps fish oil
30 mins. pre-w/o:
2 scoops VasoXplode in ~16 oz. ice cold water
Now going to eat dinner took 1 cap 15 minutes prior.
Will take 1 cap 15 minutes prior to a MRP bar around 8pm tonight

[matic-]

should i add oats to my pre-bed shake? how much? Right now i only add milk, ~25g protein, and natural pb.

Thoughts:
I felt great today! Definitely had great energy and it was apparent right from the getgo. Last week i just started doing 50's for DB Military Press...Now i got 5 reps with 60's. So im making good progress here. Also the shrugs feel like they are getting easier...I jsut started doing BB Shrugs not too long ago.
The Delt Pump was very good also. Rest times were really short. I felt recovery was good. And again i was really energized.

Dosing:
1 cap anabolic pump 15 minutes prior to breakfast
2.5 hours pre-w/o:
1 cap anabolic pump; 15 minutes later lunch
30 minutes pre-w/o:
1 serving of VasoXplode in 16oz. of water. (Felt some tingle today as opposed to none yesterday, and my face flushed on the right side alittle)
1 cap anabolic pump 15 minutes prior to dinner later

Thoughts:

Good workout in the beginning...In the end right after starting abs i felt terrible i felt like i was going to throw up any second...i couldnt finish the last workout of calves it got so bad.

Throughout the whole workout i was sweating like an animal. I felt great on the ATG Squats...got some really good pumps and by the time i got to the leg extensions they were beat. 100 lbs. on there felt like a ton. Good energy up until abs when i felt like throwing up...its not really loss of energy though, just the feeling that i would throw up any minute...

I felt stronger on the squats than last week and I got more and better quality reps in on each set.

Like i noted above i also started feeling cramps in my hammys on the leg curls. Maybe its dehydration...but i was drinking alot of water all day...IDK

dosing:
15 minutes prior to breakfast: 1 cap AP
2 hours pre-w/o: 1 cap AP, 5 minutes later MRP Bar (i forgot to take the pill during class)
45 mins. pre-w/o: 1 serving VasoXplode
Dinner soon: 1 cap AP 15 minutes prior

Thoughts:
Good workout! I had good energy and great pumps...afterword my chest was looking huge as well as my tri's. Rest times were pretty short 15-20 seconds for the most part. Felt somewhat weak on the DB Bench Press but i'm still happy with the numbers. the 70x10 for the DB press is either a PR or a tie with PR i cant remember and bb.com won't let me use search atm...

solid workout! Had great pumps all around. My back workouts felt especially good today. I was literally sleep walking all day and through class but soon as i got in the gym i was energized focused and ready. Im really liking the clean energy on VasoXplode. Sick pumps in my arms. Im still feeling it.

Thoughts:
Another solid workout. Got a PR on the seated BB presses...strength is definitely steadily increasing right now. Good pumps and good energy. I even got a slight biceps pump on the upright rows.

*funny story: after i finished the 2nd set of lying rear lat raises...This kid decides to set up a bar for skullcrushers on the bench i was using; i just looked at him. He showed no idea that i was using the bench even though 5 seconds earlier he saw me using it and my weights were still next to it. After he finishes his set, i sarcastically ask him "can i jump in bro?" and he cluelessly replied yea sure, no problem...IDK i thought iwas funny

[got6rings]

Great log man, keep up the good work. I cant wait to see what this stack can do, I feel we will have some good results by the end of three weeks.

[Mickfootie]

Thoughts:

Welp, I'm extremely beat and exhausted right now. My legs are demolished esp. my hammys.

This is week 3 since i started squatting, and i set a goal of 225 for today. Im siked that i got it up for 6 although not a atg squat except for the last rep which was atg.

First time doing deads. To be honest, i got a pump more in my lower back than anywhere else. Although im certain i was using good form. Still felt it really in the hammys. Maybe i was using my back to much....

Not really any huge pumps in my legs until after the leg ext and curls. Energy was good but like i said i was exhausted by the time i got to abs.

dosing:
1 cap AP @9:30am, 15 minutes prior to breakfast.
1 cap AP @ 4:45, 15 minutes prior to din din.
1 cap AP @ 8, 15 minutes prior to protein bar.
30 mins pre-w/o: 1 serving VasoXplode

I forgot to take a cap AP to class to take in bet classes with my protein bar so tats why i dont have a noon dose.

[matic-]

Dosing:
1 cap AP @9:20; 15 minutes before breakfast
1 cap AP around noon 15 minutes before lunch
1 cap AP around 5; 15 minutes before dinner

I love the feeling of not being able to walk after leg day

DOMS in my calves, quads, lower back, and most predominantly in my hamstrings

[matic-]

off today...I did some light cardio and core training.

dosing: 1 cap AP @ 10am, 1 cap AP @ 2PM, 1 cap AP @ 5PM, 15 minutes before food

Thoughts:

Woo...Crazy workout! When i woke up this morning, i didnt feel like i would have a good lift...i was feeling really tired. But soon as i hit the vasoxplode i was ready!

Good chest pumps. Incredible tricep pumps...After the Overhead Tri. Ext. I had a temporary painful pump which was an incredible feeling.

Great energy and rest times were really short; i'd say the average was 15 seconds. I got a few PR's on the DB pullovers and tri ext.

After this log, i'm gonna switch up this workout (well im gonna change alot up) but im thinking of focusing on either DB INCLINE BENCH or BB BENCH PRESS...what are your comments/opinions on this??

dosing: 1 cap AP @ 9am; 1cap AP @ 1:40pm; 1 cap AP @ 5pm, all 15 minutes before a meal.
1 serving vasoxplode 30 minutes pre-w/o at 10:30am

Quick comment/observation on the mixability of vasoxplode: MIXABILITY 11/10
This was the first time i'd pre-mixed my vasoxplode about 1.5 hrs pre-w/o
I pulled out the bottle in the middle of class and was VERY surprised to see that it did NOT settle on the bottom...I was expecting to have to shake it up even a little. but i didnt even have to swirl it or anything. So i thought that was reallly good

Solid lift! I got a pretty good pump in the delts. Good energy and recovery. I feel that my Delts are really coming along nicely.

DOMS in my back started hitting me this afternoon right before lifting. Nothing too bad buti got it.

[Mickfootie]

Looks like things are going good so far for you matic. Nice to see.
Some good workouts and good lifting too.

Best way to deal with DOMS is to do 10-15 mins stretching the day after your workouts. Works for me..... Keep it going mate...
