Core Test Log

[jaredmus]

So first off HUGE shout out to Core Nutritionals and Allgenetix for the great hook up!


I am a huge fan of Core Products and have been using them for over 3 years now. The ABC, ISO and Fury are my favorites in the line as far as flavor, and profile go! I have used Core alpha- another test boosters and the original core test. And they were good , I think as a whole to see any result from natural test boosters you need to use them for a prolonged period of time.

I will be starting this up tmrw and be running it for 8 weeks , and If I like it may even pick some more up on black friday and maybe throw in some alpha-who knows

Thanks again and here is the profile

[jaredmus]

ill ask doug what max dose would be

Thanks. Also just went to the DR. I will be taking 5-7 days off of weight training do to a hip/lower back strain. I will be doing the bike for about 20 minutes each day. Still using core test pre cardio. First Time I have been injured it some time.

[superhuman67]

I was waiting for this log to go up and sorry to see you have an injury after a great start but better to take
a few days of to heal up than to continue training and causing more harm. Looks like you have 2 containers
so that should last you for a good two months and looking at the dosages of the ingredients I don't think
you'll need more than 1 serving a day cause the Bulbine is dosed well and that's an herb that if you take
to much it cause the opposite effect that you want.

I'm a big fan of Bulbine and Long Jack and I run them each at different times of the year but I've never
run them together so looking forward to see how this works out for you. I was gonna throw up and app
when I saw the promo but AllGenetix stated he didn't want anyone doing any other logs while on this one
and I'm always logging some thing whether sponsored or unsponsored so I'm in for the ride and see how
this works for you.

Nice poundage for just easing back into it and I've got Jefferson's planned for my very early a.m.
workout tomorrow and I like doing those occasionally as a finisher for my quads but it also hits other
areas of the legs.

I try to force my knees out and keep my back straight and scapula retracted and really focus on the glutes!

I think this split will work well for me A- bc its less time in the gym then I was doing. B- its structured C- the way I am setting it up is a hamstring glute/deadlift day and then a quad glute day--hypertrophy focused which I believe will be less taxing on my lower back/hips

[jaredmus]

HAd a good workout today -- Hit the back and rear delts with some decent volume

Pendlay Rows(25's plates for a full stretch and you never let the bar rest) But still fully Bent over-- 185(10)195(10)205(10)
Seal Rows- 165(12)175(10)x2 185(10)
1 arm cable row- 75(12)x4 sets
Leverage High row- 2pps(12)x3 sets
2 set of 10 deadstop BW pull ups
Rear Delt Fly- 20(10)x3
Rear Cable Fly- 3 sets of 12
Rope Face Pulls - 3 sets of 10
T Bar Pulldown-200(10)x4 sets

good pump, good endurance, left the gym because IT was time ... still not really training to failure or doing many drop sets but going to start next week on hypertrophy days should get good

[jaredmus]

So... Today workout called for chest and arms... My right elbow was giving me some problems so I kept a slingshot 2.0 cuff on it for the entire workout. I think some of this is coming from ArA from the OG x-factor-- great pumps but sometimes gives inflames the joints. Also side note when I train chest I don't bounce reps I come down and give a slight pause

45 degree incline Dumbell press- 100(10)110(8)x2
Flat Barbell Bench- 225(10)265(8)x2
Bench to the neck- 135(8)x3 sets with 45 second breaks--- if you can do these pain free they are great
Incline Fly-- 40(10)45(10)--- I've stated in other logs I do these and Its incredibly slow and controlled

French PRess-90(10)X2--- had to stop at this weight elbow was on fire
Kneeling rope ext- 55(12)x3 sets

Dumbell Curls- 40(10) 45(10)x2
Cable Curl(facing away .. simulating incline curl) 3 sets of 10
Leverage Preacher Curl- 2 sets of 10

Overall nothing wild as my elbow was hurting but still worked around it and did what I could. First week of Phat complete loooking forward to the rest day tmrw

[superhuman67]

I've had that elbow pain you mentioned and it's NOT fun especially on chest and triceps work so
you gotta try to pick exercise that don't aggravate the elbow until it heals. Cissus usually is what
I use for that type of injury or prevent it and SNS is the brand I like.

Thanks... I am 99% sure this is from x-factor but I will look into it thanks!

[jaredmus]

whats biggest improvement you've felt on TEST?

So far, Workouts feel good.. I need TBH I have noticed maybe not improvement but I have been having some stomach issues about 90 minutes after I take this product....about 3 weeks in hoping I really start to see some more strength progression in the next 2-3 weeks I find with natural tboosters you need that prolonged use to see a difference.
