[[[[[.....controlled labs green magnitude **watermelon**.....]]]]]

[taher123]

HUGE shoutout to Dracoy and Controlled Labs for giving me this WONDERFUL opportunity to log their newest Green Magnitude flavor.....**WATERMELON**!

Little About Me:
I am 5'4ft short
25yrs old
Just your average gym go'er who's trying to live a healthier life (not ripped or buff like most of you on here)

This will be my first time using GREEN MAG so I may be somewhat helpful for the fresh minds who's interested in wanting to try this product.

initial weight before I started being dedicated to working out was 214lbs
2 years later after some slacking off....current sitting at 168lbs and counting

Diet:
currently on a cut and eating at a deficit with emphasis around IIFYM + IF-ing

Workout Routine:
currently trying Kris Gethin 4wks DTP workout
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/kris...um-muscle.html



Test: 10/10

This thing was just simply tasteful! with or without water, I LOVED it! ..I sampled the powder for the first time and WOW..reminded me of my kid's bottle pop candy powder that came along with the bottle pop I occasionally buy for him at the store..I wouldn't mind taking GM Watermelon in dry form if I had to


Mixability: 10/10

I gave it 10/10 because the powder mixed almost instantly with a little swirling and shaking. The Color reminded me of cocktail drink "Incredible Hulk" LOL..so I'm going to call it my "Hulk" drink whenever I drink this



For Curious purposes, on the label it said 1 serving scoop weighs approx. 10g and that sounded about right. Below is my measurement I got (Scoop itself weighed 5g for me)



Looking forward to this journey with GM Watermelon and many of CL's product in the future to come. Will post up first day with GM tomorrow since its late already.

Love the taste CL !

Update to yesterday's WORKOUT #1:Chest/Back

Been doing Kris Gethin's 4wk DTP workout for a week now and I don't know if I just got stronger or it was the MAG that helped me but man!.. I feel like I can pump and pull those dumbbells with less struggles than I did before.

I took my "Hulk" (GM) drink in 10oz. water right before I left the house and then took Purple Wraath intra.

I didn't want to go too heavy that I couldn't finish the program's recommended repetition so I stayed within my comfort zone and how the weight felt during my lifts and adjust the weight when needed.

Superset 1:Incline Dumbbell Press & Bent-Over Dumbbell Lat Rows

Incline Dumbbell Press/Bent-Over Dumbbell Lat Rows
1x50 @30 for both
1x40 @35 for both
1x30 @40 for both
1x20 @50 for both
2x10 @65 for both

Superset 2:Dumbbell Bench Press & Bent-Over Dumbbell Trap Rows

Dumbbell Bench Press/Bent-Over Dumbbell Trap

1x10 @70 1x10 @40
1x20 @60 1x20 @30
1x30 @50 1x30 @20

I had never done this much rep for the same muscle group! lol...so far so good with Green Mag..today was a cardio day so nothing interesting...will update everyone on the next weight day.

Upgrade on WORKOUT #3:Arms

Been feeling good lately on Green Mag. Workout 3 was arms and lower abs..POWERED through the workout and felted good!. I'm doing IF as well so went straight to the gym after work and worked out fasted.

Superset 1:Standing Biceps Curl & Cable Rope Overhead Triceps Extension

Standing Biceps Curl/Cable Rope Overhead Triceps
1x40 @60 for both
1x30 @80 for both
1x20 @90 for both
2x10 @100 for both

Superset 2:Barbell Curl & Skull Crushers

Barbell Curl/Skull Crushers
2x10 @45 same weight for both exercise
1x20 @30
1x30 @25
1x40 @20

I was really feeling the burn after the first superset so I went lower on weights for the second round of superset that's why the weight dropped dramatically. Still got that good pump though. I'm going to try to push myself and increase the weights come next week for the exercise.

Hanging Leg Raise

I did 5 sets to failure

[taher123]

Workout #5: Shoulders/Upper Traps

This is another fasted training on Green Mag and Wraath. Trying to push myself with higher weights because I want to GROW!! lol ..

Superset 1:Behind Neck Press & Upright Barbell Row

1x30 @70 1x30 @30

Felt drained after the last few superset of my Arnold press and shrugs so had to drop the weights more..it's ok though because I adjusted my weights so I wouldnt fail my sets which I didn't.. starting to feel stronger now..I am positive my reps will only get better!

WORKOUT #7:Chest/Back

I was out of town this weekend and was busy so didn't get any chance to workout but I got back into it yesterday. Mondays are legs but for some reason I wanted to do chest and back so below are the numbers

1x40 @35 1x40 @30

Lat Pull down

Overall..I had gains in reps, sets, and weights..If you want a reliable creatine, that bang for the buck, this is it. I will definitely get this product again because it simply DELIVERS!
