The CON-CRĒT Log & Review you just have to see! (now with BETA-CRĒT & GLUTA-TRĒN!)

[RyouBakua]

Starting December, I will be logging Con-Cret from ProMera Health.
I havent seen noticable gains from regular creatine before,
so I am excited to be a part of this and promise to work out hard!




Some info:
- Age: 29 years old
- Ht, Wt: 5'10'', 235lbs
- Bodytype: Endo, so I tend to keep the carbs low.
- Training: 5 days a week, 1st thing in the morning
- I hit Chest, Back, Shoulders and Abs every week.
- I hit Legs and Arms every other week.
- I will be using Fatburners and Protein with Con-Crete.
- I have 72 caps


I frequently use 100lb Dumbells so lets blow this up!

[storm1507]

So is this going to be your log? Or are you just serving notice that you will be here?

Welcome. I'll be stepping it up a notch or two beginning in Dec. myself.

[RyouBakua]

Yes, this will be my log.

What is on tap for tomorrow's beginning?

[RyouBakua]

What is on tap for tomorrow's beginning?

well, i did 120 db rows for 15 today

and that wasnt on con-cret



ill pick a day to start fresh and light it up

[conradcrow]

ill pick a day to start fresh and light it up

thats impressive i can only do 120 for 8 and thats with straps

[RyouBakua]

thats impressive i can only do 120 for 8 and thats with straps

i use straps too



now if i was fresh i could probably do it

but by the time i get around to db rows my grip is gone


(Order: pullups/pulldowns, BB rows, then DB rows)

[RyouBakua]

Wanted to give some info about how training is gonna go
(that way I dont have to repeat myself everyday)


I train first thing in the morning on a empty stomach
I only take supplements on days I train (with the exception of Con-Cret)
I take 3g of Taurine + a fatburner of my choosing
I warm up by doing 15-45 min of cardio
I train one bodypart per day
I take 2 scoops of Xtend Aminos during my workout
I take EAS Whey + Muscle Milk after my workout
I take Benadryl at night to sleep
I usually train with freeweights but I will add some machines in from time to time
I train solo using gloves and straps
I never use a weight belt


and lastly,
I tend to pick a weight and see how many reps I can do

that will be the true test as I work to break through those numbers


Edit: I took out Carnivor for EAS+MM due to extra creatine

I'm 46, you may need to copy/paste that for me.

How do you like the Carnivor Protein?

[RyouBakua]

carnivor is great

i created a thread where i solved the foaming problem it had


the only concern is that there is 5g of creatine in Carnivor
(not a huge concern but its something think about)

hmmm definitely would be something to consider since you will be taking the equivalent of 5 grams of mono from the con-cret any way you can switch protein and use one that dosent have creatine in it?

[RyouBakua]

i dont really feel the creatine in Carnivor


ive taken a few creatine supplements in the past with no noticable gains

time to get hard with Con-Cret!

It may be best to drop the Carnivor (creatine) while on the Con-Cret just to make sure YOUR GAINS are from Con-Cret. You are going to gain, aren't you?

When do we get to see your first Con-Cret workout?

[RyouBakua]

Thats the beauty of it, Im trying to get leaner...

but STRONGER!




But in lieu of this, I will switch out my protein shakes for this log,

which starts in...

Great shoulder work and excellent write up.

I guess you super setted the presses w/ the laterals?

90's & 45's on these are big time wts.

thanks. i was hoping to create a want-to-read format.

it wasnt a true superset

i would do a set of presses
stretch out my shoulders for a few minutes
then go into the laterals
stretch more and repeat


all of that was solo and without a spot

and if i was working with a partner i would have went heavier

[conradcrow]

i have the same problem i cant get heavy dbs into postion unless i have a spot

[RyouBakua]

i have the same problem i cant get heavy dbs into postion unless i have a spot

yeah, i could wrestle up more weight

but i feel the effort really taxes potential reps and full range of motion



stay tuned for tomorrow!

[storm1507]

Hey I've been meaning to ask about "whatever the thing is called under your user name". Are you wrestling now?

[RyouBakua]

update soon!

[ian0789]

Damn man, that is some massive Shoulder Press! I always train solo these days so I tend to never go to crazy on the Shoulder Press. I feel like every time I try to get up a PR with the DB's I over do it trying to get them into my starting point and waste a **** ton of strength.

i agree
when i try to break PRs, i chose a slighly lighter weight then add extra reps

example: 80x10
maybe next time ill try 80x15



a good spot (for maximum muscle development) should take all
pressure off your body so you experience nothing but full range of motion
