WilMan70's **** Pro-Anabol Sponsored Log

[wilman70]

Hello Everybody,

This is my first post here. I usually post at A M.

I have been given the privilege to run a test log for ****?s new Pro-Anabol. Thank you to **** and Reps. I will begin today on Thursday, May 31, 2007 and my last dose will be on June 29, 2007. I will post at least 3 ? 4 times a week, but likely it will be daily.

I have no doubt that it?s a quality product from a quality company; but I don?t know what to expect. That should provide for a pretty objective log. I would like to see a 5-7 lb increase in LBM.

Again, a big thanks to FitnFirm and ****.

My Stats:

Age: 36
Sex: Male
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 166
Body type: Closest to Meso (according to an online quiz ? What is your body type?)
Est. BF% : 12-13%

Measurements: I will post my measurements and pics at least 3 times during this test. At the beginning, after 15 days, and after 30 days. The initial pics and measurements should all be up tomorrow.

Dosing Protocol: I will be running the recommended dose ? 1 cap (400mg) 2x a day for 30 days. I will take one in the morning about 45 minutes before my workout along w/ Applied Nutriceutical's RPM on an empty stomach. Approximately 30 minutes later, I will take ~10g of *********** bulk BCAA. This will be my routine daily unless otherwise noted.

Diet: My diet has been for the past 2 weeks or so at 3000 cals a day 40/40/20. I am hitting close to 300 grams of protein daily. Most of my protein comes from turkey, low fat and no fat dairy: milk, cottage cheese, yogurt. Most of my carbs are from oats, whole grain bread, etc. I eat every 2 -3 hours.

8:45 AM - Cardio and Abs - my knee was still a little sore, so I decided not to do sprint intervals. A girl that works at the gym told me they had 3 treadclimbers in the back so I decided to try it. No impact, fun, and burns a lot of cals. Be warned ? I almost fell off 2 or 3 times LOL!!! If you are not paying attention and the "treadles" change height, you may lose balance! When I got off, I felt like I was on a boat - needed to get my sea legs!

[Eyedentify]

I like the format of your log bro

Great details and easy to read

[SSW]

Log looks great so far. Just a quick question, I'm assuming you just recently started RPM since it's fairly new. Do you think it might skew the results of this log a little since it's not just an energy booster?

[wilman70]

Yes, I just started maybe a week before PA. Yes, I was concerned about that the RPM would skew the results, but FitnFirm said I could use it for the test. It's hard to give up that RPM!

[fitnfirm]

Wilman has a nice log !!!! Keep up the great work bro !

[SSW]

Thanks Eye!

[strester]

i'll be following this one ... finally, someone else who does early morning workouts ... btw, what time of the morning do you have your first meal?

[wilman70]

Hey Strester...as soon as I get back from the gym around 8 AM, I have 8 oz skim milk, 1 cup dry oats (soaked in milk) and 3 scoops of whey (51g). Then about 90 mins later (at work) 8 oz skim milk and 1 cup Kashi Go lean cereal. Then another 90 minutes later, I have some yogurt and cottage cheese...so by 11 AM I've had about 1000 cals and 100g Pro. I'm trying to hit 3000 cals and ~300g of protein so I am constantly eating.

The pumps will keep coming and muscle hardness, strength. You may notice a feeling of well being as well, I did

[strester]

looks close to what I usuallly do, but I have a shake w/ 1cup oats and 21g of whey in the morning about 1hr before my 5am workout to get things started

so the "~10g of *********** bulk BCAA" is the only thing in your stomach for your workouts and then you start feeding afterwards?

[wilman70]

Wow! Stres!!! You wake up at 4??? That's why I do the BCAA...5:45 or 6 is just about the earliest I would want to wake up! LOL Yeah, that's it until after the w/o. I have a cup of skim, cup of fat free CC and some PB before bed.

6:30 PM 1 Pro-Anabol

Impressions:
Weight is down to 165.75 today. I seem to be very irritable, somewhat angry and aggressive. I catch myself driving almost 90 in a 70, getting mad at other drivers, etc. I also seem to be a bit frustrated with everything. I have a lot of life changing issues going on, so I assume that is the cause. Just wondering if the Pro-Anabol or RPM is winding me up?

[wilman70]

The pumps will keep coming and muscle hardness, strength. You may notice a feeling of well being as well, I did

It's weird FnF...I'm just constantly ticked off! I hope that feeling kicks in soon!

[gsxr150]

This might do a little bit for ya, but it's still a weak a** herbal supplement. Just like BAM and JW...it was all in my head.

[Eyedentify]

What exactly is a feeling of 'well being' while on a supplement? Can someone describe to me how does that feel?

[wilman70]

6:30 PM 1 Pro-Anabol

Impressions:

Well, weights are up and MY weight is up again to 167.5. I have fluctuated every day, but overall I was 1lb heavier than the day I started the log. My shirtsleeves feel a little tighter...that's always good! LOL Main thing I have noticed is that I am constantly hungry. Without the Pro-A, I had started to put on some fat at 3000 cals. I think that my body is using the food more anabolically. Now, of course at this point that is mostly conjecture. I was thinking about upping my cal intake. I'm at 40/40/20 right now. Any suggestions?

Oh, my knees still hurt! Oh well!

[wilman70]

This might do a little bit for ya, but it's still a weak a** herbal supplement. Just like BAM and JW...it was all in my head.

I assume you mean in comparison to something hormonal? What would be your suggestion for productive cycle? BTW, that is not sarcastic at all even though it may "sound" that way. Just looking for feedback.

What exactly is a feeling of 'well being' while on a supplement? Can someone describe to me how does that feel?

Not sure...I had the opposite effect. But as I wrote, it may be unrealted to the supps. But, it is a good question.

[gsxr150]

OK being up or down a pound or two is normal with or without supplements. I'm just finishing up a cycle of BAM and JW (both are from the same manufacture). I firmly belive that a lot was in my head. I mean I cranked it up in the gym just becuase I "thought" I was going to get big from this stuff. It's kinda fun, but does it really do anything...not sure on that. I know my strength and weight were up a bit, but it may have been from me hitting the gym so hard. Worth $80...I don't know. I think JW helps lean you out a tad, so I could consider that again, but not for a while.

It's frusterating trying to find the best of the best.

How long did you used it for? From what I know the effect starts to kick in around week 3 or 4. Most people usually recommends 8 weeks cycle so when it kicked in around week 3 or 4, you get another 4 weeks of enhanced effect.

I agree that the main thing is diet and exercise, but at my age...I'll take all the help I can get!

Regardless of the outcome of this log, I am planning something hormonal afterwards. The EVO stack as possible part of PCT - THAT will depend on results of this log.

6:30 PM 1 Pro-Anabol (posting this early today, so I still haven?t taken this dose obviously )

Impressions:

OK, this was a really great workout. I felt very strong and energy was there even though this is a fairly brutal w/o for me ? I love it!!! The pump in my delts and forearms was great. I could barely write because of the pump in my forearms. Knees feel a little better. Lower back is a little stiff from squats and SLDL. Noticed a few tiny pimples on my forearm. I jacked up the calories to around 3500 as of yesterday, so I will try to keep that up. I will shoot for 350 to 400 g of Protein.

My weight is up to 169 as of this morning.
