Official bio-gro loggers thread!

[ScottRoland]

Another fantastic review and the only think missing is Meow-Pow

Thanks bro!
I'm saving the Meow-POW for the REAL final review...most likely a video.

[aaaaaaaaaachooo]

It's not that bad to just scoop it in your mouth. That's how my last dose usually is taken. I have just gotten use to it.

If it's at the end of the day for last dose, I'd prefer it with casein or bcaas.
When I did scoop it in my mouth, it was a little odd. It seemed like it "warmed up" real quick. (ever experience this?) - and yeah - it definitely stuck to the teeth. lol
Since it blends in and mixes so easily with practically anything but water...I prefer to throw it into/onto food, and in the shaker.

[ScottRoland]

scott- awesome review brotha thanks so much for that. Bio-Gro is good stuff

Hey... no need to thank me. I owe you and all the reps a big HI-5 for introducing me to all these wonderful products. It worked on me.... I don't ask to log for anyone else... don't need to try any other brands ... I'm sold. Color me all iSatori now !

Mix this.

Eat Smart (2 scoops)
hand full of ice cubes
BioGro (2 scoops)
Milk 1 cup

Blend it up and enjoy. I have also done it with less milk to make a frosty like consistency

[demonwareltd]

lol well that too. Still thinking this might just be another "magic supplement"?

Ha - so far so good. I'm only a handful of days in but really no complaints thus far!

You should try mixing it with your BCAAs sometime. The Director of Science and Education at iSatori says to get the true benefits of BG to mix it with Restoraid (iSatori plug) or some other form BCAA supplement. I still haven't tried it with milk yet but may have to in the future.

I may give that a shot coming up soon. Just a bit leery since it doesn't really mix well.

I've never had issues mixing it with my BCAAs either... or are you just saying mixing issues in general with Bio-Gro? What specifically was it that it didnt mix well with for you?

Day 16 Bio-Gro

5/28/2013
Chest and Triceps

Chest

BB bench press: 190x8 (4 sets)
Decline DB bench press: 60x12 70x10 80x8 90x7 100x6
Incline Smith press: 135x12 185x10 185+ ~40lbs of chains (3 sets of 5)
Machine fly: 3 sets of 12

Some nice insight on the bench press:




Triceps

Flat bench skullcrushers: 65x12 75x10 85x8 95x6
Tricep push down with rope: 4 sets of 10
Dips: 2 sets until failure. probably about 15 reps each.

Cardio

15 mins on StairMaster at 60 steps per min. ~152 cals burned.


Workout thoughts: Felt thick, solid, tight the whole way through. I plan on just adding 5lbs a week to my 4x8 bench press each week. For the first time in a while I have been really enjoying the movement. Although I know it is hard to get specific part of the chest to grow, I feel like the decline db bench presses do a good job shaping the lower chest, giving that "U"shape. Got some chain work in with inclines for the first time. Didn't notice a huge change in resistance other than overall lbs probably because it was on the Smith, but they look and sounds cool so they must work. Right guys? Right. 8 solid sets of tri's, a couple sets of dips to polish off the chest/tri's, and some cardio to make up for a hefty day of eating yesterday. Solid day throughout.


Bio-Gro thoughts: Second day of BG at 6 scoops. Tossed the 3 scoops in my oats today for breakfast, mixed very well. The fullness/strength continues to grow and DOMS have been kept at bay, although I was admittedly a bit sore after sumo dead lifting for the first time. I honestly have 0 complaints to date.

[gallagnm]

KO: sumo deads are nice, good change from just regular deads. I like to switch between conventional, sumo, and the hex bar for deads.

[TiffGarrett]

I'm actually waiting on my second tub from this log to come in! I was one of the "detailed loggers" that was selected to receive a tub of bio-gro on the house!

And thank you!

Ah, that's right. Congrats on the free tub!!!

Great to hear that you still have no complaints to date with BG! I mixed some the other morning with Proats and was very nice indeed.

As far as lifting with chains goes.. I am with you! If it looks cool then it has to be working! haha

If branch warren does it it must work right? Really just tossing in some variety to keep things interesting.

KO: sumo deads are nice, good change from just regular deads. I like to switch between conventional, sumo, and the hex bar for deads.

No doubt. Will be giving them another go next leg day (probably Thursday). Taking things nice and slow for the sake of form.






















And oh yea...

probably cant follow your log anymore because of that blackhawks remark...

dayum lol. But they will be losing tonight, redwings are my team

Redwings got this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aaaaaaaaaachooo]

BS-ass call. Penalty shot? Get real. This is hockey - & that was NOT worthy of a "penalty".
Chode-refs. Nuff said. LOL!

By rule, it was. Had a clear cut break on him and a slash to the hands took away a clear scoring opportunity. Does not matter how soft or hard it was. Have to look at the product, not the process.

61.1 Slashing - Slashing is the act of a player swinging his stick at an opponent- Check

Rule 24.8 4 conditions apply, 1) Infraction took placing in attacking zone- Check

2) Infraction must take place from behind- Check

3) Must have been denied a reasonable scoring chance- Check

THOUGHTS:

Back was wrecked after all this work. Will be interesting to see how sore I am tomorrow or maybe not at all. Forgot how damn tiring all this volume is when doing higher rep sets. I miss Sheiko and sets of no more than 5 reps

[demonwareltd]

I mix it with BCAAs daily and have no mixing issues

first tub - bad mixing
second tub - 100% mixed. Not sure what happened but it doesnt bother me

I've never had issues mixing it with my BCAAs either... or are you just saying mixing issues in general with Bio-Gro? What specifically was it that it didnt mix well with for you?

Alright, alright - settle down now, settle down

I did mix it with my BCAAs during workout and it was fine. Didn't even notice it was there except for a small amount of gummy residue on the inside of my shaker lid. Other than that it was money cash!

[LiftToLive19]

Chest/Tricep day for me. Usual "do whatever machines/lifts I want until I am sore" kind of day. Only thing I kept track of was barbell bench at the beginning of my lift. Was able to do my usual 5 reps of 245lbs, but it was actually quite easy today.

I seemed to have a little less DOMS. I did do a lot of walking around over the weekend at the zoo and in the city, which may have helped get the blood flowing and promote healing, but I do think that Bio-Gro had something to do with my muscles repairing a little quicker than usual. Felt great in the gym today.

[gallagnm]

it WAS a penalty shot and it was a good call by the ref but doesnt mean he HAD TO!!

thats fine. If redwings dont win tomorrow prepare the neg train for KO

[iREciProcate]

Pushy Push Push
Didn't have much time. lifted early before work, but I got a good workout in in about 50 minutes time. Just had very short rest periods. Dat dere hypertrophy.
today I mixed things up and did it a little different than my normal push day...
1. Military press.
Used strict form. every rep all the way down to my chest and lockout straight above my head.
---warmup---
-2x12 @45 lb's
-1x5 @ 65 lb's
-1x5 @ 75 lb's
---Working sets---
All at 95 lb's
-1x10
-1x10
-1x8 (failure)
-1x7(failure)
-1x5 (failure)

I felt good about this. my first working set of 10 was very easy, def had a few more in the tank. but I wanted to save it for my last 4 sets. Like i said, short rest periods, so I fatigued and you can tell with my reps per set at the same weight

2. Narrow grip DB bench
-2x8 @ 25 lb db's
-2x8 @ 40 lb db's
-2x4 @ 55 lb db's
---Working sets---
5x8-10 @ 60 lb db's
got my tri's feelin right! nice chest pump as well...

3seated cable flies
5x15
after this, my chest was juicy brahs.... very juicy...

4. front delt raises
3x20 SLOW and controlled on concentric and eccentric movements
boulders for shoulders

5. tri cable pulldowns
3x12 narrow grip
3x10 wide grip

Not many movements today.
I know I didn't touch on some of the major traditional "push day" movements, but I did alot of sets/ reps and definetly got a good workout. incredible pump today!

for me there were very big chunks and it would stick to the side of my water bottle a lot. May I had it exposed to some moisture? Idk but it doesnt matter now its over with and the second one was fine

[KoHuskie]

My CP is ready

Nice workout man! I have always found high rep shoulders to be most effective. Really prefer working in the 8-12 rep range in terms of both size gains and injury prevention. Whenever I have gone in the 3-6 rep ranges for things like DB lateral raise and military presses I feel like I am one bad rep away from snapping something up. A hurt/aching shoulder makes both pulling and pressing movements.

[Sean26607]

Sounds like you have a new favorite technique. I was a little worried when I didn't hear from you. I figured you were curled over a trash can. I'd love to train legs with you guys sometime. I want to do tempo work - I think.

Anytime!! It was Nics first visit to APG too...I think he enjoyed it.

Here's my Isatori Stack Log...
