Notes:
Fresh Rest Day!

I'm using this final week before my bulk to drop a pound of weight or so, but most importantly I want to lose all the water weight I absorbed to have a good idea of what my calorie maintenance will be for my bulk.

At this rate I will average just below maintenance for the month, with wiggle room of about 350 calories or so.

Calorie Targets For Bulk:
2,443 <- I don't want to get much lower than this, but it's not a huge deal for now
to
2658 <- aiming to average here before I go into full bulk on June 8
to
2873 <- If I feel like I need the extra energy, I'll get here

I'm feeling a BIT drained from cutting this week, I'm guessing my glycogen stores got depleted and that's what I'm feeling. I'll take some BCAAs before I workout to try to make up for it.

I love Decline French Press so much!!!!!!!! My favorite exercise right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really exited today because I'll be trying out the C4 Ultimate On The Go Sour Batch Bros that I won last week!!

I could sure use it because even though I'm alert, this week long cut is already making me feel a bit drained and just, kind of cloudy feeling I guess? Probably from depleting all of the glycogen, dropping extra water weight, and transitioning to fats as a fuel source. AKA the Keto flu. Yuck.

Flavor - I love it. It tastes more like sour gummy worms which I also love, but if you don't like sour gummy worms, forget about it. I asked for this flavor because I love Sour Patch Kids and thought if it tasted similar it would be totally worth it. It is!! But don't expect it to taste like sour patch kids. Again, more like sour gummy worms.

Caffeine - I haven't had caffeine for MONTHS [maybe for over 150 days now], so I was a bit worried, but 300 mg is safely below maximum dosage per day for humans. Maybe 3 cups of coffee. I've had VERY strong coffee in the mountains where it is grown and had panic attacks from that caffeine rush. This caffeine, however doesn't have that affect on me thankfully. I can DEFINITELY feel that I'm much more alert now (25 minutes in)

Focus - I had brain fog before taking this, now I'm SUPER alert (about 25 minutes in) with no more brain fog. I'm sure that I can now put 100% of my focus into my lifts which is awesome. I REALLY NEEDED THIS RIGHT NOW. I'm doing a week cut right now l, transitioning into ketosis so this extra bump of focus is awesome!!!

I'm going to wait about 45 minutes total before I start lifting so its digested and I can feel the full effect.

Overall first impressions are very very good and I didnt realize how awesome this would be.

Maybe this is TMI, but I think the caffeine induced a healthy solid BM before I'm leaving to lift. I monitor my daily fiber intake to ensure healthy levels, but I still appreciate this side benefit of the pre-workout.

Mid workout notes:
My body feels like it kind of tingles with ecstacy, not sure how else to phrase that. It feels amazing.

Edurance:
An hour 15 minutes after taking the preworkout. Feel amazing!!! I keep doing extra MAIN LIFT sets because it feels so good. I don't know how else to describe it. My body FEELS good performing my sets, and I'm super amped to do MORE sets!!! I've never felt this before. Its like better than sex.

Recovery:
I normally wait 3-5 minutes between sets. It feels like I unlocked my hidden strength and I'm just going after 1 to 2 minutes of rest. Which is weird because I know I'm depleting my glycogen stores on Ketosis right now. I don't know where or how this extra energy comes.

2 and a half hours later:

My workout lasted longer than usual for 2 reasons:
1) My body felt amazing doing exercises and I had more energy
2) I was working in sets with another bro at the gym who was also on a preworkout and we were both amped and excited

After training had another healthy solid BM, probably from the caffeine working it's way through. Not uncomfortable at all, it's actually a nice side benefit.

I'm still VERY focused and amped. I'll take a shower and measure my blood pressure and pulse around 3 hours in, and then 4 hours in. Should bear in mind, again, that I don't drink caffeine so I'll be a good case study for people who don't drink caffeine.

I have a theory on why my body feels so good right now as well.

This is my theory:
I believe the preworkout ACTUALLY increases my body temperature. So when I'm walking or performing exercises, the movements create the slightest air flow that causes a fleeting reaction of cool air on my hot skin. It's almost orgasmic to be honest, it feels so good. Is there any proof or anecdotal evidence in this?

Effects:


Nausea - No


Increased Heart Rate - I'm not certain, but my heart beat itself feels like it's beating STRONGER if that makes sense?


Pulse 4 Hours After - 
67 BPM, this is in the normal range

Blood Pressure 4 Hours After - 108 / 62 , this is normal after strenuous activity, if anything it's healthily low

Drowsiness - No


Headache - No


Anxiety - No


Flush - No


Tingles - No


Jitteriness - Kind of? It’s more like my reflexes are enhanced and my fast twitch fibers are ready to go, which is exactly what I want


Focus - Yes, 100% focused on the lift. Took away my brain fog I was feeling from ketosis on a calorie deficit


Body Temperature Increase - Yes (at least it felt like it), so my muscles felt warmed up for my sets. Also made the slightest breeze from performing reps feel soooooo good
. It’s the opposite of uncomfortable, it feels orgasmic.

Energy Level Increase - Yes. I was… REALLY hecking amped lol! Blasting through reps like it was lightweight.


Endurance - Yes, I could do extra sets, and I wanted to do extra sets. I don’t know how or where the extra energy came from considering my nutrition has me with depleted glycogen stores right now. My workout lasted longer than usual because I wanted to keep going.


Diuretic - Yes, but not uncomfortably so, to be expected with caffeine. Drink lots of water and stay hydrated or you will probably suffer the side effects of dehydration!
 Not just DURING your workout, but also BEFORE and AFTER your workout too! Be responsible, stay hydrated, and be prepared to urinate.

Digestive Upset / Stomach Ache - No. I literally took 42 g of protein, fish oil, multivitamin, and the preworkout, waited 45 minutes and then started lifting, and no stomach upset for the entire time before, during or after.
 If there ever were a recipe for upset stomach, this WOULD be it, but thankfully this wasn't the case. That's quality.

Laxative - Yes, but not uncomfortably so, to be expected with caffeine, so make sure you hit the toilet before and after your workout depending on your interactions with caffeine!


Diarrhea - No. Maybe TMI, but healthy solid BM.

5 Hours Later - My pulse and blood pressure have been normal, but it feels like I'm finally coming down now. It's not a crash. Again, I don't drink caffeine and this is my first Pre Work Out ever, so the effects are almost certainly exaggerated on me. It may take another hour to completely be done with it, but I've noticed I have been urinating more than normal, and so I've been hydrating more than normal to compensate. Feels just fine to me though. No headaches etc.


6.5 Hours Later:

Crash - No. All of the effects finally wore off about 6 and a half hours in. It's such a nice feeling coming down from it too. Bear in mind, I am HIGHLY susceptible to the effects of caffeine as I don't drink it.

Restlessness - No. I can't imagine how I would feel restless after going 101% at the gym today. The effects of the pre workout definitely wore off before I'm going to sleep. I feel super super relaxed now.

Insomnia - No. But again, consider the half life of caffeine before taking it. If you take it too close to your sleep time, that's on you.

No excuses!

Workout: REST DAY

Notes:
I'm ready to ramp up my calories to start bulking now!

I'm going to ramp up towards 2,800 - 3,000 calories a day starting today.

Week 1: 2500-2750 calories a day

Week 2: 2600-2850 calories a day

Week 3: 2700-2950 calories a day

Week 4 - Week 20: 2800-3000 calories a day

I think 20 weeks of bulking should get me to around 200-205 lbs with carbs water weight and creatine.

Actually, combined with previous month data, my daily maintenance may be 2,521 calories.

Which would place my bulk at: 2,733 to 2,946 calories a day.

So I'll err on the side of caution and cap my calorie ramp up to daily 2,950 calories, updating the ramp schedule now.


HAPPY BULKSGIVING!!!

I was a bit tired but this preworkout saved me. I'll write my condensed review on the C4 Ultimate On The Go tomorrow after having used it for seven (7) training sessions.

My form with overhead press using dumbbells is getting absurdly bad. I can tell I'm bending my spine and leaning back to force out the reps. Soon I'll switch back to barbell overjead press. Maybe in 3 or 4 weeks.

GOTTA REMEMBER: PERFECT FORM, SLOW AND CONTROLLED!

I love this preworkout!! It's so good; it's what I imagine a performance enhancing drug feels like.

I feel the effects of cumulative fatigue. I need more sleep, more calories, or both. I'll try bumping up my calories a bit faster and I'll try to sleep longer. Perhaps related, on an emotional level my state of mental fatigue is also becoming unpredictable. The current events are beginning the weigh heavily on me; particularly the isolation, the fear, the anger, and the uncertainty. I would prefer to use that energy on my efforts towards progress instead of despair, but it does feel overwhelming sometimes.

To combat the cumulative fatigue, and perhaps lack of calories, I decided to go into an unusual surplus. It may be that my metabolism is adjusting to my higher level of intensity and higher level of activity.

I finally listened to my body, ate more calories, and slept more. No surprises, I woke up feeling great! I have a feeling my calories should be closer to 3,200-3,400 anyway. I'll adjust the calorie ramping schedule below accordingly, but honestly I'll probably just find myself eating closer to 3,200 - 3,400 calories a day out of 'feel'.

It feels like I'm eating like a maniac right now. I'm trying really hard to get more than enough calories in order to recover fully and to not feel tired. I can tell that the extra calories helped A LOT with recovery and growth. Wow, I think I can already see and feel noticeable increase in LBS of lean muscle mass (although I know most of that is water stores and glycogen stores from creatine and carbs)

Especially on bent over row and overhead press!

I feel surprisingly energetic for only 7 hours of sleep. I'm going to try this workout without the pre workout.

Missed 2 reps on my first set of weighted pullups. I could understand missing 1 rep due to weight gain, but 2 reps feels like an effect of not taking the pre workout this morning. I've gained about 9 lbs of muscle, water, and glycogen stores, so MAYBE that extra weight caused me to miss 2 reps? I don't really know. But ill keep on keeping on anyway.

Missed 1 rep on my first set of weighted dips. This feels like a raw strength issue, not an endurance issue. I beleive I've just gained a lot of weight in the last couple of weeks. Simple as that. Well, I gained back the lost rep in the second set so... wtf??

I may have pulled something around my right rhomboid during rows. Something to keep in mind for next week. I think by exhaling on the eccentric portion of the row I exposed my back ribs and outer muscles, and something got bruised or pulled in that exposed state.

GOTTA REMEMBER: PERFECT FORM, SLOW AND CONTROLLED!

The extra calories, and the extra sleep seems to have helped tremendously. I gave what my body wanted and now my body is cool with me. I was worried I was gaining too much weight too quickly. Maybe that's a valid concern, but my goal is to put on as much muscle as possible in the next 18 weeks or so, and I can't do that by being afraid of putting on body fat. I have to remind myself that fat comes off easily in the cutting phase. In any event, I'm noticeably bigger, but my body fat % isn't noticeably worse, so its all in my head for now.

The workout today felt SOOO easy. Going up in weight and down in volume [squats, bulgarian split squats] is the programming breath of fresh air I needed at just the right time.

Notes:
Feeling pretty good.

The process of constantly and dramatically changing my body composition requires a crazy amount of physical and mental energy and it just takes a lot out of me. One of the main things I'm trying to do is hit my minimum daily calories and comfortably shoot past that minimum. Going above the minimum has been resulting in some pretty awesome looking gains. I can feel the boost in recovery and gains, but most importantly my body feels better. I'm probably ramping up in calories faster than I intended, but I'm following what my body needs.

Notes:
Time to relax.

The process of constantly and dramatically changing my body composition requires a crazy amount of physical and mental energy and it just takes a lot out of me. One of the main things I'm trying to do is hit my minimum daily calories and comfortably shoot past that minimum. Going above the minimum has been resulting in some pretty awesome looking gains. I can feel the boost in recovery and gains, but most importantly my body feels better. I'm probably ramping up in calories faster than I intended, but I'm following what my body needs.

I noticed some pain on my palms during weighted dips today. It may be an issue of grip form.

The extra weight feels good on me. I feel stronger, less fatigued, and just better mentally. That may also be an effect of having gone up in weight and down in volume for my lifts, so it's a bit refreshing.

Notes:
I noticed that I was feeling exceptionally fatigued despite my caloric surplus and the extra sleep.

I REALIZED THAT THE CAUSE WAS LIKELY DUE TO MINERAL DEFICINCIES!

I HAVEN'T BEEN GETTING ENOUGH CALCIUM!!!!!!!!!!

So I added some calcium supplements.

Boom, already feel better.
