yesterday was a great workout, i felt really energized(way to jittery, but energized). here it is:

One-Arm Row- 50, 55, 60, 65

Close Grip Pulldown- 165, 165, 172.5

Wide Grip Pulldown- 150, 157.5, 165

Cable Curls- 110, 110, 110

Cable Crunches- 190, 190, 190(all x10)


i felt really supercharged for my one-arm rows. i did 50 and it felt light, i moved my way up to 60 and it still felt light, than i went to 65 and it still felt light, but it was already my 4th set, so i stopped. i felt like i couldve easily gotten 75lbs, which i think is amazing, seeing as how i was doing 50lbs only 2 weeks ago for 8 reps.

im not gonna hold any punches so i gotta say that Revitalize X tastes terrible. but if that energy boost i had yesterday can be attributed to the Revitalize X, it might be worth suffering through. im hopin thats the case

[HardNutrition]

Actually you will get a 30 day test supply as you will get another bottle with your Quick Cleanse. The taste everyone talks about is the aminos. My suggestion is use less water or mix in Gatorade. We are improving the taste, but don't want to add a lot of sugar to it. The energy you felt I am sure is from the Revitalize. It is great pre and post workout. Hope the suggestions for taste help.

[Avaric3]

i use it once in the morning and once pre workout or when i get home from school on off days. thats cool right?

ya, i figured the taste was from the aminos, i made the mistake of trying bulk leucine once

[HardNutrition]

My feeling is use it when you feel you want. Those are just suggestions I gave.

[Avaric3]

i felt energized again today and was still pretty jittery, must be the Revitalize X! heres my workout, all for 5 reps except for the dips which are 3x8:

Bench Press- 145, 145, 145

Dumbbell Incline Bench- 90, 90, 90

Dips- 3x8

Upright Rows- 75, 85, 85

Leg Extensions- 200, 215, 215

Deadlifts- 225, 225

Shrugs- 300, 300, 300


i improved on my bench a lil bit, and on the leg extensions, so it was a good workout

heres the product ill be logging and reviewing for the next 15 days:

make that 30 days

[GPG]

I've been following your log. Nice increases! Do you feel like your recovering better between sets or overnight?

[Avaric3]

i definitely feel like im recovering better. ive been working every muscle once every 4 days(2 day split), which is a big change for me cuz i used to work each muscle once every 6 days(3 day split). im assuming that the reason my strength is going up so much is because my recovery is up. ill keep at the strength training until the end of this log to see how much i can advance while using Revitalize X. ill also post up another back pic when im done to see if theres any difference size-wise, although i dont except a big difference since i am shooting for strength right now.

[Avaric3]

heres todays workout, nothing special to report, i actually felt a lil tired. i left school at 10 and went to the gym at 12 so it was an early workout for me, thats probly why.

Dumbbell Bench Press- 110, 120, 120

Incline Bench- 135, 135, 135x3(failed on the 4th rep)

Pec Deck- 150, 150, 157.5

Lateral Raises- 17.5, 20, 20(per hand)

Shrugs- 320, 320, 330

Leg Extensions- 200, 215, 215

Deadlifts- 235, 235


i improved on the dumbbell bench a lil bit, my incline bench was a lil better, my lateral raises improved by 5lbs, leg extensions are up and deads area a lil bit better too. im very proud to say that ive improved on at least 2 things every time ive gone to the gym this month!! its been great

[Avaric3]

christmas eves workout was a good one. i felt really energized, was a little jittery too:

One-Arm Row- 65, 70, 75

Close-Grip Pulldown- 165, 180, 187.5

Wide-Grip Pulldown- 165, 165, 165

Concentration Curls- 35, 35, 35

Cable Crunches- 190x12, 200x12

Weighted Crunches- 20


my wide-grip pulldown dropped a lil bit today, but its no surprise to me, the other times i pulled 172.5, i was really killing myself. i improved on the close-grip pulldown though by 7.5lbs. also concentration curls were up a bit.

[Avaric3]

im almost done w/ the first tub of Revitalize X, will i be getting the 2nd tub and the quick cleanse soon(about 3-5 days)? my weights were down a lil bit today on everything but i can attribute that to my lack of food yesterday while i was snowboarding for nearly 9 hours and a total of 4 hours on the road. also my legs were still so sore from yesterday that i skipped my leg workout today:

Bench Press- 155, 155, 160x4

Incline Bench- 100, 100, 100

Dips- 2x8, 1x6

Upright Rows- 85, 85, 85

Shrugs- 320, 330, 330

[Avaric3]

todays workout was nothing to special:

T-Bar Rows- 100, 105, 105

Seated Rows- 150, 160, 160

Pullups- bodyweight 2x5

Wide-Grip Pulldown- 172.5

Barbell Curl- 80, 80

Decline Crunches- 20, 25, 25(all x15)

Cable Crunches- 200, 200(all x12)

the bodyweight pullups felt very easy, where as a month ago i couldnt even do 2.

[Avaric3]

todays workout was pretty good:

Dumbbell Bench Press- 120x6, 120x3, 120x6(i was imbalanced on the second set and my right arm lagged behind so i stopped)

Incline Bench Press- 135, 135

Cable Flies- 40, 50, 50(per hand)

Lateral Raises- 20, 20, 22.5

Leg Extensions- 215, 215(my knees cant handle more weight)

Deadlifts- 235, 235

Shrugs- 330, 330, 330

t'was a good workout, my dumbbell bench press was up(in both weight and reps), my cable flies are up, and lateral raises are up

[Avaric3]

well i finished the tub yesterday and it lasted a lot longer than it says it should. on the tub it says 30 servings @ 2 servings a day=15 days. it actually lasted me 25 days @ 2 servings a day. i think Hard Nutrition should update the label. also wasnt i supposed to recieve a 2nd tub and quick cleanse? i guess it really doesnt matter cuz 1 tub lasted almost 30 days anyway.

[Avaric3]

MY FINAL REVIEW:

well i never recieved the second tub and the quick cleanse, which would be due to either it got lost in the mail or they just forgot(thats a company i wanna buy something from*sarcasm*). aside from that, i dont feel i gained anything i couldnt have done w/o Revitalize X, so im never going to be buying it again, especially at the $40 price tag. Everything in it seems underdosed far to much to do anything. Also it tastes like **** mixed w/ some more ****. I felt a lil energy boost from it, but that was only the first day i used it and that couldve been from something else. I hate to give a bad review, but people, save your money and put it towards something worth it like x-factor.

[HardNutrition]

Your second tub and Quick Cleanse are on the way. They are for everyone. We were hit with some nasty snow storms here in Colorado, over 46 inches in 2 weeks and it delayed everything. We do apologize for that.

[Avaric3]

well 10 days later, i still havent received my 2nd tub or quick cleanse, so i think this log is done
