I took my first serving of Amped this morning along with breakfast. After about 20 minutes, I really wasn’t feeling very Amped. The only thing that I noticed was a slight change in my breathing pattern (as though my lungs could take in more air). Over the next 4 hours, I was literally trying not to fall asleep.

My 2nd serving of Amped came around late-afternoon, so I headed out to the park for a run. Again, my lungs took in more air and yet, not a whole lot more energy than normal. By the time I hit my 2nd lap around the track, I was ready to take off. I sprinted for a Lap, and jogged for 3 more. I suddenly felt like pushing myself harder. Awesome feeling!

Once home, I mixed my 3rd serving of Amped, wrote out my workout to follow and then, I hit the weights. Because today was a Light Full Body Workout, I really had to do my best to slow down, concentrate on the reps, and hold back from adding more weight. I kept thinking to myself, “Oh my goodness, I feel so strong…This must be a placebo effect.” I’ll add more weight to my routine tomorrow and compare the response of both days.

Honestly, if I feel half as pumped tomorrow as I did today, Met-rx Amped is going to become a staple in my diet.

Good luck with everything. You've got a great physique in which to work from. If you stick with your diet plan and working out, you'll hit your 18% bf goal fast.

[beer20]

good luck.
you shouldnt have any problems reaching your goal.
hard to believe you just started working out regularly in october

[MCWTRAINER]

As far as dosages goes... Splitting it up into 3 dosages throughout the day is not going to give you the same effects as what the directions say to follow. Please use it as a preworkout supplement. There is no need to use it later in the day after your workout or with breakfast unless you are doing weights shortly after. Also, you don't need to use it on cardio or off days as the creatine and arginine that is in the product will not do you much good. So please use 2 scoops preworkout, drinking half of it 30 minutes prior to your workout and the other half during your workout. Also, there is no need to add that 3rd scoop of AMPED. Good luck and I'll be following your log!

I would like to say, my apologies to the readers of my original post if I was not clear in how I used the Amped.


Directions:
For adults, take one (1) 20g serving (3) times per day. Before workouts, mix two (2) scoops (40g) with 16-20 fl. Ounces of water or juice and consume as follows: one half 30-60 minutes before and the balance during the course of your workout.

Directions Paraphrased:
Serving size may vary
Serving is based on a 165lb. individual
Do not exceed (2) scoops per workout or more often than 3-4 hours
Do not exceed more than (3) scoops


Because a serving size is based on a weight, I use 15g of Amped which is roughly equal to ¾ of a scoop or 1tbs.

I chose to use 3 servings per day. My first serving was 4 hours from the time of my workout and coincidentally the same time I ate breakfast.

I do not have cardio days. I run approximately 30 minutes before I workout (everyday).

I consumed what was equivalent to one serving 30 minutes before my run (which is 60 minutes before my weight workout). After my run, I consumed the balance of the recommended serving during my weight training workout.


MCW
After today, I’ll go ahead and drop the 3rd serving of Amped in the morning if you truly feel it’s not necessary.

The directions on the label are a little wordy which makes it a little confusing... This is how you are supposed to take AMPED for this log (or basically for anyone who is using the product):

Mix 2 scoops of AMPED with fluid of your choice. Drink half of it 30 minutes prior to your workout. Then drink the other half throughout your workout.

There is no need to take it 3 times a day, it is a preworkout supplement so using it at breakfast or later in the day really has no benefit. You are taking it correctly as a preworkout supplement but please drop the 2 extra dosages at breakfast and later in the day. 2 scoops is all you need in a days time (preworkout).

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

[Mr. Aries]

dragon princess, you look awesome.. But if I may inject a tiny bit of criticism.. You are pretty short, and your thighs being 23" at that height, seems to me like it's overpowering the rest of your body...

please dont' kill me

[nithos]

Unless she is planning on competing in fitness, there is nothing wrong with being a little asymetrically thick in the thighs. As long as you still maintain "the gap."

[Mark1T]

Hi Ms. Princess,

Great going on your log. You do look great. Looking forward to keeping up with your progress.

She's at 20% bf. Her thighs will shrink up faster than other areas of her body as she loses weight. If she does compete, and gets her BF to competition levels, I think she'll be proportionally just fine on stage.

I was full of energy during my workout and I am convinced that it helps my muscles lift more weight and last longer before reaching exhaustion.

Today, I finally got my Squat attachment for my Vectra. As you can see from my Squats, I was trying to get accustomed to my “new toy” as well as, find my weight. Considering that I haven’t done truly weighted Squats for more than a year, I was pleasantly surprised by how well I did.

On my actual Leg and Shoulder day, I will go heavier.


Well my loves, goodnight.

I'm not a nutritionist, but I fully believe that, unless you're dieting down towards a specific date and haven't yet achieved the goals you require of yourself, having either a cheat day or planned out cheat meals HELP a person when they're dieting.

They're less likely to crash (since they know they're going to get a splurge), it gives the body a little mix-up to keep it from adjusting completely to your normal diet, and it helps to maintain focus and postive moods.

So while you think you're acting naughty... a little naughty may have never been so good as it is when you're dieting. =) Enjoy!

I do the exact same thing. Right now I am actually doing a cut thanks to Pu and Controlled Labs. I use the weekends for recovery and to keep what sanity I have left to splurge a little on the foods I crave throughout the week. I still make great progress even with my weekend splurge. I don't see anything wrong with this. You are keeping a great log thus far, keep up the good work!

Great start- good luck!!

Damn, how long does that take? Could be inducing catabolism.

[dragon*princess]

My Full Body Workouts usually last about an hour. This particular workout lasted 15-20 minutes longer because I was trying to figure out how to use my new Squat Attachment.

xoxo xoxo

[BiggJohn]

Sounds good, your workouts move at a relatively fast pace compared to mine. That much work would take me significantly longer.

[Blap Blaow]

hey d*p, just noticed that your workout is VERY high volume- esp. squats. Any particular reason? I'm not sure I could stand up after a single 50 rep set!!!

Actually, I KNOW I'd be flat out on the floor!!

[dragon*princess]

In regards to Squats, my warm up sets are usually “very light or no weight’ and I push myself until I reach total failure. Gosh, It hurts sooo good!

I agree that my first set is unusually high, considering I just added Squats to my routine with “no weights” (11-21-2005) and I could only pump out 60. As for Friday (12-02-05), I think it was a combination of the Met-rx Amped plus, the fact that my body adapts extremely quickly.

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to see the results that this stuff can help me attain.


xoxo xoxo

[Blap Blaow]

I'm not sure I like the idea of doing a warm up set to failure!!! ideally it should be just a light warm up to get the blood flowing to those muscles, not a full working set. Do you do a warm up for your warm up???

All the best- I really hope AMPED helps you take things to the next level

[Mr. Aries]

princess you work out at home or at the gym?

trying to hide from us?

[Big Bad Dog]

Has to be a home gym to move through that workout in such a short time. I workout at the Y and they have great equipment but the wait to get on the smith or some of the other things can definitely slow down the intensity of your workout. I could never afford the equipment on my own that I use there so I just have put up with it.

[Warnerve]

I'm almost down with my first bottle of amped. I have to say I love the stuff. My veins are Practically exploding through my skin when im done with a workout!! I haven't noticed a strength increase, but I have noticed i've been much more focused. Good luck with your goals.
