Quigs' USP Labs powerFULL 8-day mini log

[quigs]

First of all I'd like to thank USP Labs for the opportunity to test their new product: powerFULL.

With that being said, I would also like to emphasize that this will be an honest/straighforward log. If the product works as advertized, you'll all know. If I get nothing out of this 8 day trial, I won't hide it.

As you can see below, I am on almost no other supplements, so therefore any and all changes in the next 8 days will be due to this product.

I have been asked to pay attention to the following:

- Sleep
- Sexual desire and erection strength
- PUMP
- Muscle Endurance--quick recovery between sets and lactic acid buffering
- Strength

I will be using this supplement with the following protocol:

AM: 2 caps
Preworkout: 3 caps
PM: 2 caps
Total: 7 caps/day

A little background information on myself:

Stats:
Age - 23
Sex - M
Height - 5'10''
Weight - 193


Training experience: 5 solid years weight training (since I was a senior in high school and straight through my 1st year of medical school). Before this, I was a distance runner.

Training Schedule/Protocol:
Mon - Chest
Tues - Back
Weds - off
Thurs - Legs (squats, stiff legs)
Fri - Arms/Shoulders
Sun - Deadlifts (also good mornings and possibly old fashioned hack squats)

I am more interested in adding size/strength and I therefore do a lot of power movements, with almost all of my exercises being closed kinetic chain. I waste little time with single joint movements as I feel that they do little to nothing for me.


Other supplements:
Dymatize Whey protein
Multivitamin
Fish oil

Current Diet:
Protein: 275-300g/day (lots of lean red meat, chicken breast, eggs, fish etc)
Carbs: 300-350g/day (mostly oats, veggies, fruits, some wheat bread)
Fat: 70g/day (fish oil (salmon a couple times a week), some from the red meat/eggs, olive oil, enova

Today's Dose:

2 caps AM
3 Pre-workout
2 Bedtime

**All dosages were taken on an empty stomach as directed.

Thoughts: Well it's the first day, so don't expect much. Can't say that I noticed a difference nor did I expect to.

I did shoulders today, and a bit of arms. I did feel a good pump, but I usually do anyways on arm day. So really nothing new to report.

I forgot to mention earlier that I was also provided a few caps of USP Lab's C2 -- which I plan to give a shot for a pre-workout boost tomorrow (deadlift day ).

Sleep - N/A
Sexual desire and erection strength - Nothing noticable
PUMP - average (maybe slightly above avg)
Muscle Endurance--quick recovery between sets and lactic acid buffering - average
Strength - average

Today's Dose:


3 Pre-workout (as I was off today so I trained right after breakfast)

Hey guys...

Just wanted to update. I came down with quite the cold on my third day and haven't trained since. I stopped taking the product day 3 so that it would not be wasted when I wasn't training. As soon as I start to feel better I will finish the course of the product and continue the log.

Ok, I came down with a wicked case of the flu just before exams. I lost about 10lbs in a little over a week as I couldnt eat without it coming back up.

Anyways, I allowed myself to get back in the gym and train normally for about two weeks to get my strength back up. Now, I've restarted the powerFULL and feeling great. I have plenty of the product left as I began to feel sick about the 3rd day and discontinued it. I'll get about 6 days full dosage out of this.

Day 1 (again):

Today's Dose:


3 Pre-workout (as I was off today so I trained right after breakfast)
2 afternoon
2 bedtime

**All dosages were taken on an empty stomach as directed.

Thoughts: Average workout as this was the first day. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Sleep - same
Sexual desire and erection strength - Nothing noticable
PUMP - average
Muscle Endurance--quick recovery between sets and lactic acid buffering - average
Strength - average

Thoughts:
Today was a bench day. I had a great workout. I felt that I had much more energy today and a pretty good pump throughout. My strength on bench had gone up since the previous week and I finally hit my PR on bench again after not reaching it in the last 3 months.
I increased my training volume quite a bit today as I did feel much stronger and my stamina felt much better.

Sleep - same
Sexual desire and erection strength - Nothing noticable
PUMP - good pump today
Muscle Endurance--quick recovery between sets and lactic acid buffering - Noticibly more better than average.
Strength - INCREASED felt stronger today than I've felt in a long time

As an added bonus, I've felt that my mood has felt a lot better in the last few days.

dude, did you just get this stuff recently?

dude, did you just get this stuff recently?

No,

I recieved it back in the begining of December. My second day using powerFULL I came down with a wicked case of the flu. I couldnt train for well over a week and lost a **** load of weight. I just got back to where I was so I figured I'd give it a go. I wanted to make sure I followed through with it as I was chosen as a product tester (even though it is a bit late).

Check out the 1st post...its from Dec 3.

Thoughts: I was really sore today but had to force myself to train with the gym being closed the next 3 days due to the holidays. This will be my last day training on powerFULL as I will run out of caps before the next day that I train.

Even though I was sore, I had a pretty good deadlift day. I still felt a really good pump from this product. Its really a shame that I wasn't able to take today off and train a day or two on the weekend...but what you going to do...

I did enjoy using this product as I really felt that it had a definite effect on muscle pump. I do however feel that I really needed to take it for a longer period of time to feel the full effects.

Would I use it again? Yes. I would not pay too much for the product, but if you can find a good deal its certainly worth a shot. I myself am curious as to how a full bottle would serve me, so I will probably pick one up in the future at some point to run a real cycle.

Overall, these are my thoughts on the effects taht I felt:

Sleep - NONE
Sexual desire and erection strength - Nothing noticable
Pumps - Good pumps even when not training on this product
Muscle Endurance - I did notice an increase in endurance between sets at points while using this product
Strength - Slight increase, but its tough to tell with only using this product for a few days.
