I will be using Launch 4350 as my sole pre-workout for the next 45 workouts and will be dosing it at 1 scoop max. This is supposed to be one of the stronger pre-workouts out there so this should be a fun ride.
I will be working out 4 days/week:
Tuesday - Chest/Triceps
Wednesday or Thursday - Legs
Saturday - Shoulders
Sunday - Back
Other supplements I will be taking:
SAN's iBCAA MAX
AI Sports' RecoverPro
CL's Orange Triad
CL's Oximega
Universal's Storm
Universal's Torrent
Gaspari's Myofusion Elite
Gaspari's IntraPro
MusclePharm's Combat
BB.com's Foundation Series Whey
BB.com's Foundation Series Ultimate Mass
ON's Performance Whey
Thank you for checking out my log, and more gains to me and to all of you!!! :D
Launch 4350 Day 3: Shoulders
[QUOTE=polgas;1012632983]Today was Shoulder Day. I was away from home and only had my brother's dumbbells to work with so I wasn't able to lift as heavy as I wanted. Still felt pretty good with my workout though. Lifted to failure on my Shoulder Dumbbell press, and also added reps and weight on all my shoulder raises. Pumps as always were great!!

The above quote is again for comparison to today's workout. This was my last shoulder workout from a log I did for ANS Performance Dilate, which I finished last Sunday.
Another GREAT workout!! Was pretty much able to add reps or lbs to all my lifts. Focus was again A+. Still doing just one scoop of Launch. I don't think I'll ever go beyond that.

Launch 4350 Day 4: Back/Biceps
For Back/Biceps, I follow a high rep/low weight, med reps/med weight, and low reps/high weight scheme, but only for the chin ups. I do high reps/low weight 2 back/biceps workouts in a row, then switch to med rep/med weight for 1 workout, then low rep/high weight for 1 workout. Then back to high reps/low weight to repeat the cycle.
I did med rep/med weight today and had another great workout!! Really liking Launch a lot. Focus and energy were great, as well as the endurance, despite lacking sleep . Added sets to my chin ups, from 3 sets to 5. Loving the gradual increase in strenght and endurance I'm having. The pumps were good as well but definitely could be improved upon.
Is it okay if I add l-citrulline and/or agmatine to Launch to see if I get better pumps?
Really looking forward to next week when I go heavy and strap on a 45 lbs plate while doing chin ups. I can only do 3 max. Hope I can do more.

Today's workout was really really really good!! Launch really hits and it hits quick!! I was ready to break sh*t (gingerly) after 5 minutes of taking it. :D Reps and weights went up easy. One of my goals is to one arm db bench 100+ by September. I think I might just reach that before this log is over. Wooohooo!!!

But the lack of sleep just caught up with me and the energy and endurance was just not there anymore. I had to cut my workout short. Still happy with Shoulder Dumbbell Press though.

Yes!! Had a good night's sleep last night and had an awesome workout!! Added 2.5 lbs to my one arm dumbbell bench press, and to my flys, and also added reps to my lying dumbbell tricep extensions. Launch is still as potent as ever!! Wish it helped with my memory though since I forgot to do Tabata push ups again. I guess you can't have everything. haha
