DaveGabe puts BLUEPRINT to the test!

Info on BLUEPRINT:Anabolic Support Nutrient Partitioner Featuring Agmatine!

Blueprint? features the ingredient Agmatine. As a metabolic byproduct of Arginine, Agmatine goes beyond Arginine and works its wonders by stimulating the release of pituitary hormones such as Leutinizing Hormone (LH) and Growth Hormone (GH). Agmatine is an intermediate in polyamine biosynthesis.

Blueprint? also integrates R-ALA (r-alpha-lipoic-acid) with Agmatine because it is an antioxidant, and it is also a very effective supplement for anabolic and ergogenic effects.

BLUEPRINT? Key Product Features:

• * Goes Beyond Arginine, with The Revolutionary New Breakthrough

Compound -Agmatine!

• * Dramatically Improves, body composition and muscle fullness
• * Keeps muscles pumped and full around the clock
• * Stimulates The Release of Pituitary Peptide Hormones, LH and GH!
• * Supports an Anabolic Environment
• * Modulates Nitric Oxide

Info on Me: Training Westside, with one off day for GPP work. I lift Mon - Tues - Thurs - Fri. Rotating the Max Effort exercises. Diet is basically "see-food" so to speak. I keep it clean for the most part, but if I'm craving 6 pancakes and a cheesesteak at 12PM, then so be it

GoalsThe goals for now, are to continue packing on size and strength, and hopefully reach my goal of at least 230 by the end of the year. I am hoping BLUEPRINT can help me in at least one of these two departments (strength or size).

Miscellaneous Info:I will try to post up some good lifting videos here or there so you guys can see how I perform many of the movements. If you have any questions on a certain exercise I use, why I use it ,etc... feel free to ask.

Before/After pictures WILL be provided...within the next day or so.

Any other information you guys would like to know, feel free to ask. I just wanted to get this log up because I just received my BLUEPRINT today and will start my dosing tomorrow morning upon waking, 30 mins before my first meal.

Today, being Tuesday, is DE Squats for me...so I'm going to lift in a little and then I'll post it up afterwards so you can get an idea of how things are done.

So let's...
SET IT OFF!

Good to see this up and running! I am sure just like your last log, this will deliver in all aspects and 230 is a DEF!

Good luck with this bro!!

Haha sorry, I'm not big on sending out PMs and stuff like that. I just hope that the regulars see the log and stop on by


Always appreciate the support bro, my training has recently been brought to a whole new level as of late. Very happy with the direction things are headed.

Good to hear!!

What's your current supplementation going to consist of (besides BluePrint)?

Great question


Mostly staples to be honest, the list looks this:

• IntraXcell
• IntrAbolic
• PreSurge
• Whey Protein
• Joint Support
• Bulk Leucine (only for certain shakes)

I used to go crazy with a supplement for everything, it just gets tiring being at school having to try and stay on top of everything. I ran out of fish oil and I've been VERY sporadic with my multi.

I just make sure to lift heavy and get in my protein...everything else is really just icing on the cake, and helps me be more efficient in various aspects.

April 7th
DE - Squats

Box Squats [8'' box, 45 sec rest]

• 135 x 5
• 10 x 2 @185

Dimmel Deads

• 3 x 20 @ 135

BB Lunges

• 2 x 12 @ 95

Pullups

• BW x 10
• +35 x 10

Pulldown

• x 12

Abs

• 2 x Failure

The box was 2 aerobic steps (2'' each), and the bridge-connector thing (4'')..so the box was roughly 8''...and just BARELY high enough for me to still explode up with my hips. 185 is less than 50% of my 1RM max, but I wanted to keep it light enough to perform the box squats with less concentration on my quads, and more on my hips/glutes/hams.

Unfortunately, it's either this 8'' box or a bench which is like 14''. I need something in between, but I may have to wait till I build my own after school to do that.

The dimmel deadlifts were GREAT, felt like cardio/plyometric work...and will hopefully help strengthen my hips along with the box squats.

The lunges owned me...my glutes are fried. Using these with light weight to help build ankle stability, and as burnouts for my legs.

The pullups felt really strong, until I felt a *twinge* my right forearm and stopped there. Did one pulldown burnout set, since I stopped the pullups early.

Overall, FANTASTIC workout. I'm REALLY on top of my game lately with my diet and lifting. Later tonight will be a quick PM prehab session involving my blue rehab band for my upper/middle trap work, and some foam rolling.

I like it! Simple is the way to go.

I know you spoke of recently you bought a 25lb protein, may I ask which one? American Whey?

[RB12]

looking good. best of luck

[donoh]

Dave doing it big as always! I was glad to see you get this log so I could follow along. 8" Box Squats?!? That's sick!

[bigla2004]

Good luck w/ zee blue print

Bought the recession whey from tp.com. Then some bulk flavors for it, it's not bad cause I have like 6 different flavors, but from now on I'm just gonna stick with XF/ATW/American Whey to be honest lol. Didn't save much money in the end.

looking good. best of luck

Thanks RB.

Thanks man, good to have you followin along as usual. The 8'' box owned me, and the lunges were the nail in the coffin. Hurts everytime I sit down (no homo?)

Good luck w/ zee blue print

Don't you think taking AEN PreSurge along with MAN BluePrint would hurt the accuracy of your assessment?

[Psychonewb]

Hitting it hard like always! You know Ill be following. Hit that 230!

[DaveGabe24]

Good start,I'm in!



Don't you think taking AEN PreSurge along with MAN BluePrint would hurt the accuracy of your assessment?

Not sure what overlap of results there will be. Going off PreSurge means taking creatine out of the mix. Not sure what benefits BLUEPRINT will be offering that I may confuse? If I see numbers start shooting up, and BP is the only supplement introduced recently it will most likely be the culprit imo. You're initial strength gains from a pre-workout become consistent over time, so my numbers now are factored in with PreSurge, to take it out may effect the accuracy.

Hitting it hard like always! You know Ill be following. Hit that 230!

Thanks man, gonna be tough...but we'll see what I can do.

[Psychonewb]

Thanks man, gonna be tough...but we'll see what I can do.

Knowing you, you won't quit until you do. Gotta say though, for my first bulk im on its been fun as hell so far so I know why you love it .

[donoh]

You're gonna be huge at 230 Dave. I hit 230 this winter(bulked of course with 8 lbs water weight) and I plan to get there lean and hard over the next couple of years. I'm chasing you! (little homo)

[blackcatt]

Dave...I'm in!

I am very interested to follow this one, and see what you think of Blueprint.

Good luck!

Thanks man, dedication is something I really pride myself on. So 230 or go home basically

I hope so man, I just don't feel like I have the size I want right now. Hopefully at around 230-240 I'll be much more thick/solid, cut probably to 215-220 and then bulk back up

Dave...I'm in!

I am very interested to follow this one, and see what you think of Blueprint.

Good luck!

Sounds good BC, glad to have you followin along man...I'm very curious to see how this pans out.




I'm very curious to see the various benefits of Agmatine, I've read quite a bit of promising literature on it on my own...the carry over to strength/size is what has me a bit skeptical though. Should be an interesting trip, for sure.

[RyanGrob]

I'm in. yoyoyo

Nice note about the diet. My life's too short to be counting cals all day. As long as you're eatin clean and adjust accordingly, no need to count anything.

Yep, and protein first in every meal.

The pump effect.Though since you're experienced & know what to expect from PreSurge that'll be alright.

[DaveGabe24]

Yea, seems like an interesting product..I'm very curious to see how effective BLUEPRINT really is. I must admit I am a bit skeptical despite having read the positive feedback throughout the boards. I'm holding out until I experience things first hand.

How's it going in here

Good good, nothing too crazy yet

The pump effect.Though since you're experienced & know what to expect from PreSurge that'll be alright.

Yeah, to be honest...the pump aspect of any product is not of any real significance to me. I know many others rank the "pump" high on the list of priorities, but I am more into focus, fullness, strength, size, etc.

The pump is merely temporary fun, and a false sense of size
