Going Stim Happy with SAN Launch 4350

[polgas]

First of all, thank you to SAN and to Poison, D3Baseball, and Allieninja for giving me this opportunity to log their new version of Launch 4350

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!!!

Initial Impressions:

Taste:

9/10

For a preworkout, Launch taste's pretty good. It's not as good as Fierce Domination but still pretty tasty. It kinda reminded me of my younger days when my Mom used to mix my medicine together with my Tang. It made the medicine tolerable, but it still tasted like medicine. For a pre-workout though, and I've had a lot of them, only Fierce Domination and SuperCharge Xtreme are better tasting.

Mixability:

10/10

Mixed perfectly in 8 oz water with no problem

Effects

9/10

Launch really got me going and it got me going quick. 5 minutes after taking it I was ready to go. The focus and energy Launch gave me enabled me to add reps and weights to my lifts. DS Craze has been a favorite of mine for focus since I first tried it. I think Launch just might equal it. Pumps were pretty good too but not as good and not as long lasting as Fierce Domination. Maybe I can combine them together?

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. 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!!!

Was thinking about trying this too just wanted to know how to go about it in regards to the stims...


maybe .5 scoop Launch and 1 full packet of Domination?

Might be worth trying at some point in your log -- we are mainly interested in your experiences with only Launch, but you can do a little fiddling too. The proposed stack is a lot of stimulants so stay safe out there

Late, but IN!

You'd be better off stacking san cm2.

Had a great workout today while using Dilate. Was able to add 10 pounds to my working set on the deadlift, and also added a set to my PowerTech Lunges. I was also able to do 1 Tabata which is always good. Pumps and endurance were A+ as always.

Deadlift

The above quote is for comparison to today's workout. This was my last legs workout from a log I did for ANS Performance Dilate, which I finished last Sunday.

Awesome workout today!! A good night's sleep plus Launch makes for a great workout!! Amazing focus, clean and jitter-free energy, plus the incredible endurance I got from Launch made for an excellent workout.

One of my goals for this year is to deadlift 300 lbs, and I did it today!! WOOHOO!!! This might not be a lot to some but this is a big deal to me. I'm already close to 40 and I've injured my back 3-4 times in the last 3 years, either from working out, shoveling snow, or just moving furniture around the house. Thanks to the video below, I've been able to strengthen my back and be injury free for the last few months.



I know it was foolish to increase my deadlift by 75 lbs, but I was so dialed in to what I was doing I really felt like I could do more, and I did. I even felt like I could do a couple more extra reps but decided against it. It's gonna be baby steps from now on, promise.

Deadlift

05r 135w
05r 175w
05r 225w

Love Deadlifts!! Well now I do since my form is better.

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!!

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.

We aim to make our pre-workouts effective at 1 scoop

Lol @ Tabata's after leg day. What's your Tabata score after working legs? If you don't know, your score is the lowest number of squats performed in any 20sec Tabata set. If you choke at 9 on your last set, that's your score.

Just curious.

Probably 8-9, maybe lower. I'll probably stop doing them once my lifts go up in weight. Things are relatively light right now.

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.

Chin Ups

6r 27.5w +1 rep
5r 27.5w

I was actually wondering about this too, or maybe a half scoop of Hemavol?

I'm not against this in principle, but either do it sporadically or wait until you're around halfway finished -- our principal objective is to see what you think of Launch by itself. Once you have that pretty clear in your mind, I don't mind some playing around with stacking to see what other ways the product can shine.

you got it boss! I'll wait until close to the end and just hit an arm day with a half scoop of Hemavol!

Same here. I'll experiment with Launch when I get to my 35th workout on it.
