E_P_C logs Clear Muscle, The Most Detailed Log of All Time!

[E_P_C]

Welcome to the most detailed log in the history of Supplement Logs

Im here to log Clear Muscle from MuscleTech for 12 weeks using the same Training Protocol that they used in their recent study.

The Study: http://www.jissn.com/content/9/S1/P5

*** I am not affiliated with MuscleTech in anyway, In fact im not a fan of the Company so you can expect a very unbiased opinion of this Product ***

I am planning on logging pretty much every damn thing, every damn day, every damn week.

This will be one of the most rigorous training protocols I have used and my diet will be on point for the entire duration. I will be attempting to replicate the study to the best of my ability and capabilities. The study calls for 3 training days, 3 other days will be recovery/stretching days, and 1 off day per week. Due to my work schedule sleep periods and workout times will be very different for most of the log.

I dont need an about me, you know who the **** I am.

Pretty much everything is below. Daily posts will contain the daily details. Workouts change after Week 8 but I will add those in later.




Lift Goals:

Two categories here, Goals based on the Study averages and Goals that I think are a little more attainable for a 12 week period. As far as physique goes "I want to redefine my physique" since this is not a weight loss product and I have no idea how to calculate LBM and BF Lost in comparison to the Study.

Start---- End Goal Based on Study

Squat- 345lbs ----- 425lbs
Bench Press- 290/265lbs ----- 318/293lbs
Deadlift- 495lbs ----- 558lbs

Start---- End Goal Based on Reality

Squat- 345lbs ----- 375lbs + 30lbs
Bench Press- 290/265lbs ----- 305/280lbs + 15lbs
Deadlift- 495lbs ----- 525lbs + 30lbs


Diet:

According to the Calculator I should be consuming 2800 calories

I will start with that and adjust as needed.

Fats- 30%- 94g's

Carbs- 40%- 280g's

Protein- 30%- 210g's



I will post updates daily. Im not gonna eat the same thing everyday for 12 weeks


Supplements:



MuscleTech Clear Muscle
Dose 1: 8 AM Breakfast
Dose 2: Pre Workout on Training Days, Lunch on Off Days
Dose 3: 6 PM Dinner

Multivitamin
Pre Workout


Workouts: Week 1-8

http://www.muscletech.com/trainhard/

The first week will be more of a test since without doing these workouts beforehand Im not 100% sure of the weights I would be able to lift on limited rest periods. Im sure in the Study they did not do these beforehand and started with more of a base week of workouts.

Its 3 Workouts per week, 1 day of rest between, so M-W-F or T-T-S, will more than likely not be the same for me every week

[adamsz]

in on this. Not too many people I would trust for an unbiased review of a supp on this site, but you're definitely one of them.

I will start with that and adjust as needed.

I'm guessing you're aware Wilson said the subjects ate "slightly above maintenance and enough to support anabolism", is this what you will be aiming to adjust to?

I love detailed logs, so I am really going to enjoy following this one. Great setup going on!

[gachase21]

In for reality

[Jinx8402]

In for this log. Definitely going to be the one I follow the closest. Between your thoroughness and skepticism of the product, this should be a good way to see if CM works and how much. What would you consider a successful result due to the supplement, and not what you could have obtained through regular training? Anything between what your "reality based" goals & the "study based" goals?

[KaiSchafroth]

very ready for this one, cheers!

[Dewey99]

E_P_C, I noticed you plan on taking your second dose of Clear Muscle post-workout. The dosing instructions say to take the second dose 30 minutes pre-workout. Is there any reason for the change?

Thanks brah, hows your training going?

I based my calories of off interpreting that. Without him saying exactly how they calculated the number mine is merely my best estimation. 2800 calories is a lot of me when "clean" eating. Not gonna just eat Pop tarts and Gelato all day, as much as I want too

Thats really hard to say. I think the "reality based" goals would show this to work. My bench and deadlift have stalled so I think breaking through that and adding some good weight would show something for the product. I dont wanna say that I want a 160lb increase to show the product works. More than anything I think consistent results across the board would be the best indicator of the success of the product. Idk if that makes any sense

Good catch, fixed, should have been Pre Workout on Training Days and then second meal on Non Training days

Are you talking about TheReverend or BlueRev?

BlueRev doesn't even lift so I suspect you are are talking about the former and not the latter.
