Unleashing the ****ing BEAST (CL STACK)

[Surive123]

BECOMING A BEAST



+ = ... props to cboesger for the pic



A little about myself:

You will notice that this is very similar to my last logs as this one is a continuation (the last ones were for me to get a "feel" for the whole log process), therefore having a similar introduction...ooo that sounded intelligent


Click here for past Log

I am a motivated, I am focusing on areas of strength rather than size, however size is second priority. I am 5' 8.5", 183 pounds with a 13% body fat (this was taken early in November though). I can be seen as an endomorph. Since August I have been on a clean/moderate type bulk and have gained a near 30 pounds. I have come far when reflecting upon my past. I used to wrestle in 7th and 8th grade weighing in as 88 pounds at the beginning of 8th grade. I am now a sophomore, a mere two years later and I am weighing in as 183. Within that time I became dedicated to not only food, but to the process of tearing your body apart, in order to become stronger. I focused on lifting. It became a daily part of my life once I began to play football freshman year (could not play any earlier do to knee complications, however I am now fully healed). As like almost everyone, I began lifting as a scrawny kid barely able to bench 135. I find myself today being able to bench 265lbs, squatting, 365lbs, and cleaning 205lbs. I have stayed a dedicated lifter and now want to bring my strength, speed, size, and endurance to a whole new level.


For organizational purposes:
Sex: Male
Height: 5' 8.5"
Weight:183
Water Intake: 300 oz = approx 2gallons
Calorie Intake: 3000-3500 calories
Status: clean/medium bulk w/cardio (sprints, dice, stadium), however will begin shifting to a cleaner bulk = watching fat intake and upping the cardio

Current Lifts:
Bench: 265lbs
Clean: 205lbs
Squat: 365lbs
Curl: 115lbs, need to max out once again
40 Time: 5.0, 5.1
Mile: 6:52

My stack:
Within the course of the last three years I never really used any supplements, but it is only recently that I have decided to do so. I used a little last year, consisting of the staple protein and about 2 weeks of NO-Xplode* (pretty sure every noob has), however I found myself sick with abdominal discomfort. Within the last two months, I have used various other products as well; depending on my likeness of the product and then returned them... lol,I love GNC. In that time I have tried Cell-tech*, Gakic*, Eclipse Vanadyl Sulfate, Universal Nutrition Liver Tablets, Higher Power Bulk AAKG, Supplement Direct Micronized Creatine, and Optimum Nutrition Whey protein (tropical punch). Those items that I have listed are the ones that shall be in my current stack along with some others. Due to my financial situation, I was unable to have any plan on creating of a stack but because of a generous friend donating much of his unused/used supplements, I can create one. These items are the ones planned to use in my stack:

Good luck with it !

Nice start man! Good luck with it I'll be following


BTW Very Nice Pic

First Taste

WhiteFLOOD-

Taste: A LOT better than the last version. The taste, when watered down is very similar to a type of lemon type drink.

Wow..so I just got the PW and WF combo from BB.com today..and I must say that the WF is amazing. It is so much better than the past version. The "anti-caking", and improvement in taste is amazing. I am literally in awe. I wish I could trade my other "sandy-brick one", for this amazing new version.

Congrats CL, another satisfied customer.

Mixability: 10/10, a couple shakes and BAM, its dissolved

Purple Wraath-

Taste: 8/10;I mixed it with 20oz of water, and I can say that I didn't think it was "candy". It was in no way a disgusting type taste, it was just not as good as I was expecting, but still good overall (run-on sentence anyone?, lol). This is most likely my personal preference due to the many other reviews saying that it does in fact, taste like candy. I will still continue to experiment with the amount of water/Purple wraath ratio.

Mixability: 8.5/10;The most part, rather well. However, there were bluish/purple specs on the bottom of water bottle...nothing a few shakes can't fix.

GG-

Mixability: -4/10, didn't mix well at all, Down 2 scoops and chase with water or pre-workout drink for teh win.

Vascularity: 9.8/10;This product is ridiculous for vascularity. Within two weeks I have been able to see veins that I never seen before. I looked as though my body was one big pattern of random bluish/green lines. It was crazy.

"Sense of fullness": 7/10; I get this feeling occasionally/not everyworkout. Today I did, and wow, my pecs felt ridiculous. It is a feeling that honestly, i cannot describe and you cannot know, without experiencing it yourself. You may think you have experienced this feeling, but after taking this product, it is so much more.

Energy: 9/10;I know GG isn't known or used for energy, but the psyche of downing sand gets me every time!

My review of Proteins, check:
http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=2662301

Initial Review (tasting etc..)

PROTEIN
Universal Nutrition Liver Tablets
-I found this to be a convenient alternative of protein, rich in Amino acids, all types of Vitamin B and protein. I recommend taking 3 after meals, as the best time to take B vitamins is after meals.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/univ/liver.html

Optimum Nutrition Whey protein (tropical punch)

Taste- At first the taste isn't all that amazing, however I found that my tolereance to it increased. It was no way, bad or disgusting, I just had to get used to it. When having shakes, I am used to chocolate, so having it as fruit punch it definitely mixed things up a bit. Overall though, after a few sips, it was good and I look forward to my next one.

Mix- This protein mixed extremely well, however I noticed that in my "Bodybuilding.com" shaker it became a little bit clogged in the strainer a little bit, but nothing a re-fill and shake couldn't fix.

Overall- Overall this is an extremely good option for those on a budget as it is at an extremely good value at 5 lbs for less than $30. Rich in BCAA's and EAA's this product is an extremely convenient and inexpensive source of protein.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html

Lifetime Fitness Fast Fuel

Taste- One word...delicious. This is probably the best tasting protein I have had, and it doesn't shortchange you with a decrease of protein etc..for that. It has over 43 grams of protein per serving, and is rich in vitamins and minerals.

Mix- This protein mixed not as well as ON but for my preference it made it even better. There were like small brownie tasting chunks in the shake,making it even more delicious. *adding more water could in turn improve mixability*

Overall- This is a delicious protein shake with all the essential vitamins minerals, and an abundant source of protein etc... However, it is more expensive than ON, as it is $35 for 20 packets. Luckily for me I got 35 packets for free!! If you had the money I would go with this protein, as it is delicious and beneficial to nearly every aspect in regards to health and a source of protein.

Rose Acre Farms Dried Egg Whites 10lbs-

Taste- It was very plain, and honestly not that good. I recommend mixing this with another source of protein. I mix this with the MHP Probolic to reduce the taste/blandness.

Mix- Decent, but seriously...bubbles? What? There was so many bubbles caused by mixing this and it made it very difficult to down. Again another great reason to take it with the MHP Probolic.

Overall- This is reasonably cheap, and I would recommend this to those that have a current Protein supplement and want their "Main" source to last longer.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/rose/egg.html

2 4lbs MHP Probolic SR

Taste- Trying this protein in powder form * got it, and stuck finger in to try it*is extremely deceitful. It tasted good, but when mixed with milk or water = nasty crap. I disliked the taste of this protein;it was like bitter/sour almost, however it was still bearable for consumption. Cold milk tastes the best with this.

Mix- MHP Probolic...also mixed like crap. There were chunks all the time and they would always float to the top. (Mixed like Hot chocolate packets when you want to add it to milk) There was also many pieces of powder that stayed unmixed, and stuck to the sides.

EDIT** With mixing this with the egg whites, it actually makes this shake enjoyable. Also over time you begin to get accustomed to the taste. It is much better. I also recommend getting the mixer from BB.com the next time your order is over $75 ( I think, it might be the $150 mark). It honestly makes this shake taste better, and mix much more easily.

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mix/v3.html

Overall- If this product says what it does, then it is all worth it as I wouldn't mind drinking this for the results. I drink supplements for aid in results. not the taste.

"This pharmaceutical delivery system is designed to provide a continual supply of amino acids for up to 12 hours! The Micro-Feed Technology works like an IV drip continually supplying a "metered dose" of high concentrations of Critical Five Amino Acids so that you always stay in an extremely anabolic muscle building state and never slip into a catabolic state. This technology also increases bio-availability making full 100% utilization of every gram of protein. "No Wasted Protein-No Wasted Muscle!"

Goal Keep my mentality, and continue with progress

WhiteFLOOD- Within the last few weeks I have been taking White Flood, and I must say that everyday, the results intensify and I feel better each day.

Purple Wraath- I must say that the taste, for me is not "candy", but it is still tolerable. I think I love my PW. Breathing seems so much easier today when I took Purple Wraath.

GG- Vascularity is ridiculous. I am seeing those bluish veins all up and down my body (mainly in shoulders). I have also seen them down my sides.

[Surive123]

Nice start man! Good luck with it I'll be following

BTW Very Nice Pic

Wow, strong incline for your age IMO !!

Yeah, I luckily have really broad/big shoulders so it was easy for me to pack on more mass/muscle there than normal. I just naturally have strength in my shoulders. For the last set of 4 though, they were all forced reps with a spotter, i forgot to mention that. I was so beat after the workout yesterday.

Good to have you guys following along, and thanks for the support

CARDIO

Treadmill speed 10.5, 5 minutes?sort of a fast run

Overall-
Strength being down, was definitely a bummer and might have effected me mentally with the other lifts; but I tried to pull through and not let the phycological aspect get to me. I did back-to-back sets/circuit with shoulder press, Triceps Extension, and dumbbell curls and wow, my muscles got so exhausted. I could only do like 2 circuits and then needing a break, because i just couldnt push any more; it didnt burn, i felt the pump, but i just couldn't lift dem weights!

Goal To increase endurance, just fight through it

WhiteFLOOD- The pump today was good, maybe a lil bit more than good, and I didn?t feel a the ?painfull? burn that left me in ridiculous amount of pain. And see, I normally like that type of pain, but for some reason that other day, it was just crazy. Today was good though.

Purple Wraath- I feel that I am able to breathe easier still

GG- Didn't notice much from GG today. ( have been taking for over 2 weeks btw). Then again i have noticed that I appear a lil bit bigger, and i have a stretch mark on my left bicep! haha, got that sometime last week. The feeling on fullness tho, idk. Hard to judge right now.

[Surive123]

Rest day: Wow, DOMS is not bad at all today. Recovery may be increasing.


and ^^ past post was from yesterday's workout

[Skull Crusher Chris]

Great workout yesterday man! Yeah gotta love the recovery aspect of PW I has made a huge difference for me. But you gotta watch out for DOMS when GG really kicks in...thats when the fun begins!!! Keep it up bro enjoy the day off, I'm off to the gym now LOL

[Surive123]

Gahhh mothers day...

Rest day:

Couldn't go to the gym today because of obligations to the family. Practically did nothing all day, so i did what i could. I offered up biking as an alternative to just laying around, so I got the family to get out of the house and we actually did something. I guess today could be seen as a bit of cardio. We biked in a forest preserve for nearly three hours, taking a break to throw around football-i was running off line and stuff, i was gassed.

DOMS- not bad a little soreness in triceps and achey

I am definitely feeling the "sense of fullness" today tho.

[Surive123]

Purple Wraath- Same as above, perhaps I should do a Purple Flood combo instead of PW and WF seperate? What do you guys think?

GG- I actually didn't do this today, didn't have time was rushin all over the place.

Overall-
Workout was good, I hit a few bumps (tired, sore, tight), but worked through it which definitely felt good.

"No one who gave their best, regretted it"

I am also planning on changing around routine/the days I do specific exercises, so that way I am not doing a 3 day split. I found the 3 day/week split worked best for me with strength but I want to be back in the gym more often, like I used to be. I'll be postin something up later soon.

Overall-

Pretty good workout. I needed to get back into things and I noticed lifts went a bit down, but its alright. Give me a day or so and I'll be back on top.

[PowerBuilder08]

Lifts fluctuate from time-to-time, just keep working.

You're definitely a tweener between full-back and MLB based on stats alone...tell me a bit more about your strengths and weaknesses when you get a chance (sorry for hijack)

looking good, keep it up, what is the main benefit of glycergrow i don't really get the concept behind it?
