First of all, I wanted to thank Matt for the opportunity to run another log for him. He's a great guy, easily accessible with questions, and very supportive. I realize I'm getting kind of a late start on this, but I've been rather busy the past couple of weeks, and I didn't want to start until I could devote my full time and attention to making this successful. Without further adieu, here is some information about the product and myself...
The Product
Cordygen5™ incorporates 100% organic, highly concentrated extracts of five strains & four species of cordyceps for maximum oxygen utilization, cellular energy, stamina and ATP production. Cordygen5™’s oxygen utilization enhancing effects have been touted by many users as a natural, legal and effective alternative to EPO.
Cordygen5™ is the strongest performance enhancing cordyceps product on the market and may provide up to 30% increases in ATP and up to 40% increases in oxygen utilization. Cordygen5™ is perfect for anyone who wants to increase their ATP levels but doesn’t want to consume creatine due to its common side effects. Cordygen5™ is also ideal for anyone who is a non responder to creatine products but still wants reap its benefits. The added bonus is the tremendous increase in oxygen utilization that Cordygen5™ provides. Cordygen5™ will allow all athletes, amateur or professional to break through their aerobic and anaerobic plateaus, maximizing strength and endurance. Whether you are a bodybuilder, powerlifter, martial artist, triathlete, cyclist, runner, swimmer, skier, snowboarder, hunter, climber, wrestler, golfer, tennis, football, basketball, hockey or baseball player, you’ll maximize your performance with Cordygen5™.
Cordygen5™ is a pure, solid state fermented, super potent blend of extracts from four strains and five species of cordyceps including Cordyceps Sinensis Alohaensis Hybrid, CS4 strain Cordyceps Sinensis, Cordyceps Militaris, Cordyceps Sobolifera and Cordyceps Ophioglossoides. The Cordyceps Sinensis Alohaensis Hybrid strain contains the highest HEAA (Hydroxy Ethyl Adenosine Analogs) levels ever measured and biological active ingredient levels about 5.3 times higher than the best wild collected samples. The potency of the Cordygen5™ cordyceps blend comes from the proprietary combination of cordyceps strains and the way these strains are cultured and extracted.
Almost all cordyceps strains are cultured in a process called liquid cultivation or fermentation. This process uses a liquid substrate to grow the cordyceps mycelium in a very speedy 5-18 days, yielding low levels of active constituents. The cordyceps mycelium is then harvested by filtering out the liquid medium, drying it and grinding it into a powder. By filtering out the liquid medium many of the quality compounds secreted by the cordyceps are lost. It is usually further processed using hot water or solvents resulting in the loss of nearly 90% of the active constituents of which it had few of to begin with due to the fast liquid culturing process.
Cordygen5™ is grown using a solid state (solid substrate) or biomass method. This is a much slower culturing method where the cordyceps is grown on a sterilized solid medium such as organic grain. The cordyceps is allowed to consume the solid substrate while being subjected to temperature and gas changes (O2 and CO2) to simulate its native high altitude conditions. This process typically takes between 22 and 24 weeks (nearly 6 months) before the cordyceps is ready for harvest. When the cordyceps mycelium is ready to harvest it has consumed more than 98% of the solid medium in which it was cultured on. The residual substrate is then removed yielding 100% pure, super potent cordyceps material with extremely high concentrations of active constituents from every facet of its life cycle. The cordyceps is then extracted & concentrated to increase it’s potency up to 20X. This process allows Cordygen5™ to exceed the potency of other cordyceps products on the market by up to 95%.
For Thousands of years Traditional Chinese Medicine has used cordyceps to support healthy kidney, lung (respiration) and heart function, low male and female libido, fatigue, immune disorders, for general health and appetite and for promoting longevity. Tibetan Sherpas use cordyceps to enhance energy production and oxygen utilization when climbing Mt. Everest. In 1993 the Chinese Women’s National Track Team used cordyceps to set nine world records, three by staggering margins.
In this country its use has been researched for it’s enhancement of energy production with applications in athletic performance and fatigue. Cordyceps has been clinically proven to enhance ATP production, increase oxygen utilization, improve VO2 Max, increase SOD (Super Oxide Dismutase) activity, support immune function, support healthy kidney function, support healthy cholesterol levels, protect the liver and improve glucose metabolism*. One study even suggests that cordyceps may improve testosterone production in leydig cells.

Before hotasice2003 jumps down my throat for taking other supplements, I would like to point out that I've been on these supplements for roughly two months now. If I stopped taking them now, I wouldn't really be able to tell how much the Cordygen5 is working, as I don't really have a baseline to test from.
Training:
-----------
I have recently introduced some Olympic style lifts and negatives (twice a week) to my routine, and believe me when I say they're rather exhausting. I expect the Cordygen5 to give me increased endurance to power through these sets with energy to spare. Training split is as follows:
Monday - Chest, Forearms, & Abs
Negative Bench Press
Incline Bench Press
Incline Dumbbell Flyes
Ez Bar Wrist Curls
Reverse Ez Bar Wrist Extensions
Weighted Crunch
Tuesday - Legs & Calves
Front Squat
Leg Press
Stiff Legged Deadlift
Leg Extensions
Standing Calf Raises
Seated Calf Raises
Wednesday - Shoulders, Traps, & Abs
Push Press
Seated Dumbbell Press
Side Cable Lateral Raise
Rear Cable Lateral Raise
Jump Shrug
Front Shrug
Weighted Crunch
Thursday - Back, Biceps, & Calves
Barbell Row
High Pull

Thanks Matt.
Today went much better. I didn't eat much yesterday so my weight is down, but I felt very strong throughout all of my movements and had enough energy that I could've done the workout a second time. As I've only been taking the Cordygen5 for 3 days, I don't know yet if this is the effects, or merely a placebo and a desire to thrash myself for coming up short yesterday. Only time will tell. Here are today's numbers...
Day 3: Shoulders, Traps, & Abs
Weight: 176lbs
Push Press
--------------
10x65lbs (Warmup)
10x65lbs (Warmup)
6x95lbs (Warmup)

6x135lbs
6x135lbs
6x135lbs
Hammer Strength Military Press
----------------------------------------
10x140lbs
10x160lbs
Note: I had planned on doing seated dumbbell press, but all upright benches were in use. I tried these instead and instantly fell in love with them. I will continue to do these throughout the rest of my log.
Side Cable Lateral Raise
------------------------------
10x35lbs (Each arm)
10x35lbs (Each arm)
Rear Cable Lateral Raise
-------------------------------
10x40lbs (Each arm)
10x40lbs (Each arm)
Jump Shrug
---------------
6x225lbs
10x185lbs
10x205lbs
10x205lbs
Note: 225lbs felt relatively light, but I'm still trying to get the form down and was having a hard time controlling the weight. I moved down slightly, and will work my way back up and beyond next week.
Dumbbell Shrug
--------------------
10x120lbs (Each arm)
10x125lbs (Each arm)
Note: For some reason, I felt the urge to do dumbbell shrugs instead of barbell shrugs. This was a stupid idea and I will probably never do dumbbell shrugs again. What a worthless movement...
Weighted Crunch (Machine)

I've frequently been feeling sick after downing 17 pills on an empty stomach, which has been affecting my workouts (and suddenly I'm very thankful that I didn't get the AnimalPak). I've decided to modify my supplement intake to accomodate this. As of today, I'd been taking all of my pills roughly a half hour before lifting (6 Kreaceps, 4 Citruvol, 3 Cordygen5, 2 Glucosamine, 1 MultiPro 32X, and 1 Fish Oil Cap). From now on, I will take the MultiPro, Fish Oil, and Glucosamine immediately upon waking, 3 Kreaceps, 4 Citruvol, and 1 Cordygen5 a half hour before lifting, another Cordygen5 in the afternoon, and 3 Kreaceps and the last Cordygen5 before going to bed. I believe this will alleviate most of the nausea I have been experiencing lately. If Matt or anyone else has any feedback on this plan (especially if it's not a good idea to take the pills this way), please let me know.

CH, I think this will help a bit. The multi, fish oil and glucosamine alone can be hard on the stomach so combined with the Kreaceps, Citruvol and Cordygen5 could be nauseating for sure. Always take your multi and glucosamine with food, not only to avoid stomach upset but to aid in assimilation. The fish oil if not enteric coated can cause some irritation if the oil is turning rancid at all. A good way to tell the freshness of a fish oil is whether or not you burp it up. Fish burps=rancid oil.
Upon waking with breakfast
Multipro, fish oil and glucosamine
60 minutes preworkout (if possible) with food if needed.
3-6 Kreaceps, 4 Citruvol, 3 Cordygen5
Post Workout
3- Kreaceps (if only 3 were taken pre workout)Millennium Sport Technologies Rep.

Ah, thanks for the advice Matt. I'll start taking them that way tomorrow.
Overall, very good workout today. Had energy to spare and I believe these effects will continue to increase over the next couple of days.

Day 5: Chest & Triceps
Weight: 176lbs
Another good workout. Stamina has been incredible. Recovery times are down. I have been making a few minor adjustments to my workouts as I go along to try to get the most out of it. I feel that the Hammer Strength negatives are very effective, as they're easy to spot, I can handle more weight, and there's a much lesser chance of injury.

Over the past week or so, I haven't been feeling very well. I have been nauseous and uh... "not right" in the lower abdomen, if you catch my drift. I'm not worried about it yet, although my appetite has been impacted very negatively. At this time, I do not yet attribute it to the Cordygen5, but I will keep close tabs on it for future updates. So far, I have noticed no decreases in strength, though I have lost weight. The decrease in weight has actually made me look bigger, as my body fat is also down and I am perhaps the most cut I've ever been.

Ha, thanks spaceclown. Glad to see you here.
Day 9: Legs & Calves
Weight: 176lbs
Gained back a couple pounds since yesterday, hopefully my weight will continue to climb back up through the rest of the week. Didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night (good friend found out one of their family members is dying of cancer), but still had energy to spare during today's workout. Had to cut down my rest periods a little bit today so I can make it to work on time, but wanted to be sure to post today's numbers before I go in. Here they are...

Note: Warmup and acclimation sets are standard back squats, working sets are front squats. I don't think my shoulders or collarbone could handle that many sets of front squats in one workout.
Cybex Leg Press
---------------------
10x420lbs
10x420lbs
Note: Though I'm feeling somewhat better, I didn't want to chance being put under 550+lbs on a standard leg press. The Cybex machine allows me to stay more upright and keep pressure off my digestive system...

Forgot to mention that I probably won't be lifting on Friday. I'm taking an overnight trip to Philly starting tomorrow afternoon (so I'll still lift in the morning), and will probably have to push my routine back to Saturday. I imagine my chest workout on Monday will suffer due to the shorter recovery time, but you have to make sacrifices sometimes.

I was not expecting to have to do anything like this, but because it's happened so many times, I guess I'll address it. DO NOT PM ME AND ASK ME TO DO GAY WEBCAM SHOWS FOR YOU. First of all, that is straight up disrespectful, and not what these boards are intended for anyway. Second, why would you assume I'm gay (Which, btw, I'm practically engaged, so I'm not)? Does lifting automatically make me a homosexual? Third, get a life. If you have nothing better to do than search these boards and the photo galleries like personal ads, you have some serious personal issues. If you PM me for any of these reasons, I'll report you to the moderators. End of story.
