what is beta-cret you say?
Well... per promera's bb.com store...
"Beta-Cret is a Micro-Concentrated Pre-Workout Intensifier, delivering (4.3grams) per serving that supports dramatic performance through increased carnosine levels leading to improved muscle gains.* The benefits of BETA-CRET is increased phosphatecreatine concentrations, impact on the build-up of lactic acid and buffering hydrogen ions when training. BETA-CRET has only 125mg of caffeine and contains no 1-3 dimethylamyalamine. Combined with COP (Creatinol-O-Phosphate) and 500mg of CON-CRET allows you to have better focus and concentration to squeeze those extra reps in a workout.* One serving prior to your workout is all you need."

A step backwards is better than a setback.
If this (insert whatever trivial thing that is upsetting me) is the worst thing to happen today, I'm going to have a great day.

WOW! Thanks for the awesome start Smiley!
I'm the other half of this log... here's a bit about me:
My name is Mercy, aka- NewBeginning
As a kid I loved muscles and wanted to be buff. I thought I'd marry Arnold and become an American Gladiator, lol ahh to be a kid again. In High School I was a swimmer and water polo player and hung out with the boys in the weight room. I didn't know what I was doing but had tons of fun pretending. Life happened and 10 years later I found myself married and at my heaviest- 135 all fat. Lost 15lbs with cardio and bodyweight exercises... yep
still unhappy with my body, I stumbled on this site.
After tons of research, reading people's journals, and bodyspace's I regained my love for muscles and realized it's my turn...
Stats:
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 120
Goals:
I'm currently bulking and looking to put on about a good 10-15lbs in the span of 8 months or so. Once, I hit my target I'll then cut back down and see what I've built. If I'm happy I'm considering competing, most likely in figure, or if I still feel too small I'll just begin the bulk/cut cycle again.
Being such a noob I haven't tried any supp's but now that I know how my body reacts to my workouts I was searching for something... and this just fell into my lap! I'm so happy to be able to be part of this opportunity and am excited to see how Beta-Cret will help me kick aZs in the gym! I can't wait to start seeing results!
Thank you Promera and everyone else who tags along for the ride!

I hope everyone had a great time last night!!
I spent mine at home sick lol..... BUT I did make it into the gym before I felt REAL bad Here's what went down...
Stage 4 A2
-A1: Front Squat/ Push Press:
2-3 sets of 8
45x8 w/u
65x8
75x6x2 <--- Damn, I wanted these bad!
next time
-B1: Step-Up (step @ knee height)
2-3 sets of 8
25x8x3 <-- These felt good, going up next time
-B2: Dumbell One Point Row
2 sets of 10
25x8x3 <-- good, but balance still lacking
-C1: Planks
2-3 sets of 120s
2 @ 120
1 @ 105 <--- close, but still didn't make that last set
-C2: Cable Horizontal Wood Chop
2-3 sets of 8
50x8x3
-C3: Static Lunge w/ Rear Foot Elevated
2-3 sets of 8
25x8x3
Overall, a good workout for not feeling 100%. Can't wait to get my box and see these number fly out the window!
