Papi93's Ongoing Supplement Log

[papi93]

I would like to start out this log by thanking 360CUT for sending me a free container of 360CUT 360POST from one of their company promos:

"360CUT 360POST Post-Workout Recovery Powder - Promotes Lean Muscle Mass Production, Muscle Repair, and Fat Burning"

"BENEFITS:
Great tasting recovery matrix optimizes post-workout anabolic window, all natural MCT oil promotes lean muscle mass production & fat burning, and fast-absorbing protein supports muscle repair and accelerates recovery."

"KEY INGREDIENTS:

Waxy Maize Starch
is a rapidly absorbed, sugar-free complex carbohydrate that delivers much needed post-workout protein to refuel, replenish and reenergize muscles without bloat or cramping.

Buckwheat Protein
a high quality protein that is high in the essential amino acids lysine and arginine. Buckwheat is not a grain and contains no gluten—the source of protein in true grains—and is therefore safe for people with gluten allergy.

MCT Oil
a lower calorie fatty acid, has been found to increase the body's calorie burning potential while helping improve the body's ability to repair muscle tissue after a grueling workout.*

Whey Protein Isolate
one of the highest quality protein powers available, provides an easily absorbed protein critical for building and maintaining lean muscle mass and supports rapid muscle recovery after tough workouts.

Egg White Protein
a high quality and absorbable protein which contains complete makeup of essential amino acids, branch chain amino acids, and glutamic acid and also low in carbohydrates and free of saturated and trans fats."

360CUT 360POST can be purchased in the bodybuilding.com store: http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/360cut/360post.html

What effects did you experience with MRI: EO2 EDGE Topical Punch (Advanced Endurance Optimizer) consumed during your workout?

Decided to take Supremcy before lunch instead of breakfast?

[Curl Master]

How much AB Igniter do you have left?

[papi93]

What effects did you experience with MRI: EO2 EDGE Topical Punch (Advanced Endurance Optimizer) consumed during your workout?

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/mri/eo2-edge.html

Last week's leg workout had my quads so fatigued that my knees were shaking while trying to stabilize during Romanian Deadlifts (Good Morning according to Bodylastics). While my quads were very fatigued after leg extensions (third quad dominant exercise), Romanian Deadlifts were so much easier to perform without having to concentrate on stabilizing my knee joint.

The bb.com store rating for the supplement is too low IMO. It was a solid intra-workout supplement but the taste was about a six of out of 10.

[papi93]

Decided to take Supremcy before lunch instead of breakfast?

I eat breakfast immediately upon rising and the instructions say to take it 15 minutes before meals.

[papi93]

How much AB Igniter do you have left?

Including today, I have seven days left. After that I will put up a store review and finish my bottle of Arnold Iron Cuts.

Do you have headaches still when using it? Or did adding fruit back solve it

How did it compare to purple wrath? Was stability any better this week? Or did split sq and front wear you out again

[papi93]

Do you have headaches still when using it? Or did adding fruit back solve it

The headaches are still there. I am going to try to do my best to finish out this last week. I am very glad Top Secret Nutrition gave me the opportunity to try it but the having a headache everyday is not worth the results: strongly suppresses appetite. I could be wrong but it seems my vascularity has increased during the run of Ab Igniter.

Store review up for Top Secret Nutrition Ab Igniter: http://reviews.bodybuilding.com/Top_...nic_Fat_Burner

[papi93]

How did the citrus punch taste

MRI: EO2 EDGE Topical Punch (Advanced Endurance Optimizer) tasted like when you burp and accidently barf in your mouth a little. It's not quite that bad but you get the idea. It did not give me an upset stomach, it just tasted bad.

iSatori RESTORAID Citrus Punch? It did not live a bad impression on me or I would have remembered that. It was not so good tasting (like Controlled Labs Green Magnitude Sour Green Apple) that I remembered wanting to drink it everyday. I will try it again tomorrow but I think it was decent and not a chore to take.

[papi93]

8/17/14

No active rest day. Needed to take the day off to recover but still spent it walking all afternoon at the Milwaukee County Zoo...keeping up with a three year old.

Took 1 capsule of Supremacy 2.0 15 minutes before supper. Since I was unable to time out Supremacy properly with the other meals of the day, I took two capsules of Analyzed Supplements Forskolin-95 (50mg total) before bed to get my Forskolin-95 in.

These are the guidelines I have been using for my diet:

As far as macros go, i try to meet these ranges:
