==================================================

MAX-OT Workout - So far I seem to be liking it. I know this isn't a log about the workout routine so much but I think the way in which someone works out is vital to the results they will get from the supplements. I am keeping the weight light as it states too in week 1 so next week will be closer to my max weight range.

As well the way I am weight lifting, as MAX-OT suggests, is to do a warm up set (I chose 10 reps) then find a weight you can do to failure 6 - 8 times or 4 - 6 times depending on the exercise. This is totally different from the way I used to work out doing a hundreds of reps and a ton of sets. I understand the logic behind MAX-OT and can't wait to see how it works for me.

During the lifts I would go twice as slow down (or to the starting position) as I would go up (or do the lift). with only 4 - 6 reps (or 6 - 8) this was achievable and each rep was a near perfect rep.

Supplements
Since this is a stack I will be evaluating them as a whole since I could not tell you which gave me the "pumps", "energy", "focus" etc. As well I will only be going over taste the first week, I do think this is important but results are more important then the flavor. The reason I think this should be taken into consideration is nausea could be a product of a bad flavor or aftertaste and that is something you DO NOT want during a workout.

(the categories are borrowed form ncangey's log - hope you don't mind!)

Taste (Week 1 only): (10/10)
Now now what do we have here? A 10 already!!! Your probably thinking I was paid off huh? Well guess what... I wasn?t. I can't comment on White Flood or Purple Wraath alone but combined with 32oz of ICE COLD water OMG! it was a pleasure to drink esp. early in the morning. I am not sure how v3 of Purple Wraath tastes but I love this version. You really don't need it any more sweet then it already is. Id almost say the two combined taste almost too sweet... but I won't. - Green Bulge, well I can say there wasn?t a horrid smell like you get from some of the "pressed" pills since its in a capsule and the taste.... tasteless!

Energy/Focus: (7/10)
Energy I gave a 5, but this is biased for a few reasons and I think could of easily of been a 10. Now for the reasons why Energy was only a 5 (partly my fault). Well when we got back in town last night we found our AC wasn?t working! and living in south Texas this is a huge problem lol. Luckly it got down to 73 last night and I was able to sleep about 4 hours. As well I started working out 30 minutes earlier and didn't realize the sleep I was missing out on. So tomorrow should yield closer to the actual results on a proper nights rest. Now for the focus, easily a 10! ... Whoa wait a sec another 10 you say. Yes a 10! I did not once look at the timer on either cardio exercises or care who was in my way at the weights I was in the mode that you either working out in the same gym as I am or in my way. There was no waiting or moving out of other peoples way. I was on a one way track and never left it. All in al la great workout!

Pumps/Vascularity: (8/10)
Pumps/Vas is an 8 which again could of been a 10 but I think due to lack of sleep this caused my body to tire even more. I noticed on cardio that my rotations on the stationary bike where much hirer then normal, so I was pumping out the rotations much faster then I usually did. That is a plus for sure. When lifting weights to me a pump is when your lifting the weight and you don?t think you can get it up then BOOM you get the strength to do so kind of like a runners second wind. I must have gotten this feeling like 10 times during my workout.

Stamina/Endurance: (8/10)
Well as I said before I completed my entire workout on 4 hours asleep :clap::clap: Great product so far.

Recovery: (*/10)
I cannot comment on this are yet as this is only day one.

Side Effects:
A few things need to be mentioned.
First - I think I took the WF/PW a little to early as it kicked in about 5:15am and my legs and arms where full of tingles. Not bad ones just like random spots having that "sleep" feeling. Since I didn't get to the gym until 5:30am I was a little wierded out. Once I started cardio though all was good.

Second - my heart rate was normal on the machines but I noticed once I got it up (normally about 125) on the same settings, my heart rate was stable about 133 or so. I figured this would happen as its a stimulant just something to mention.

Third - As with other takers I have experienced some bowel irritation. Seeing I have borderline IBS (just never diagnosed with it) this doesn't surprise me. As well my system usually takes a week or two to get used to the supplements and higher level of protein intake. I noticed the irritation about an hour after my workout. Again just something worth mentioning.

Overall:
I am so far, only day 1 remember, very happy with the stack! There is nothing I can really ask for more except the gains which I hope are coming. STAY TUNED!

Hello Blog Readers and welcome to my transformation!

It's that time again, time to hit the weights and make my wife proud, and I am going to be logging my physical adventures for you all to see. Please note this is a NON-SPONSORED log, therefore all the supplements will be scrutinized on all they promise.

What to expect from this log:
1. Posting of daily supplement usage
2. Posting of daily workout routine
3. Posting of daily diet
4. Effects and feelings supplements give
5. Above all an honest an unbiased review of the supplements and my results

Here are my stats:
Age: 25
Sex: Male
Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 202 (according to the gyms scale this morning)
Body Type: Mesomorph (according to http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker3.htm)

Goals:
I think in order to explain this I have to explain about where I am coming from. Throughout my childhood my dad was really cool about letting me play any sport I wanted to. I started off in soccer and shortly after our first game I realized there was way to much running involved (age 5 or so, chubby little dude). In the 1st grade I had a huge growth spurt, which put me near the tallest in my class so of course basketball was next. This was the mid to late 80s where kids wore the short shorts (talking like boxer brief style shorts) so I didn't care for that sports attire after a season. Then came the sport we all love... football! I played football from the age of 8 to my freshman year in high school (15). It wasn?t until my 7th grade year (first year to play football for the school) did I ever lift a weight. I was unable to even do the bar even though I was a very active child.

To speed this up some I began lifting weights in school and mostly on my own, as I look back now I realize I feel into a pattern after I started to lift. I will lift weights until I see improvements and then just quit. It?s not that I plateau (since I have never gotten to that point) its simply that I just stop working out. The last time this occurred I went on a "keto diet" and got into the best shape of my life, to date. I went from 220 to a nice 185 and all of my daily aches and pains (chest pains, rib pains, heart burn) went away. Then boom, just like that I stopped and I am back to an inactive 202. I now have a drive and motivation to get back into the gym like never before.

So with this log and some help from yall I plan to overcome the obstacle that makes me just stop and finally get into the body I have been wanting since my freshman year in HS. My problem areas seem to be my gut and upper thighs, other than that I usually stay pretty damn lean, (even went I got up to 240 with my wife's first pregnancy!).

So onto my goals for this log:

Short Term (1 - 3 months):
Cut weight down and build muscle (improve BF %age!)
Build a stable and constant workout regimen
Improve Diet - more smaller meals, healthier food, less junk
LOG!

Long Term (3 - 12+ months):
After Cutting out the fat - Bulk Muscle on the right way
Maintain workout regimen
Maintain controlled diet

as you can see my goals are simple cut weight, improve my bf %age and then build muscle gaining weight the correct way.

Training:
I will be using the principals that make up Max OT with the help of Fitrex.com exercises.

Supplement Schedule:

Workout Days:
Pre-Workout:
- White Flood
- Purple Wraath
- Green Bulge
* Was told by Controlled Labs and Pu12en12g that since I was working out in the AM on an empty stomach to mix White Flood with Purple Wraath in a drink and take Green Bulge as directed (which is before working out). So that means 30 minutes before the AM work out I will have taken Green Bulge and downed a drink of White Flood / Purple Wraath.

Post-Workout:
- Isopure Zero Carb Protein Shake (mixed with water)

Pre AM Meal:
- Diesel Fuel V12

Pre Mid-Day Meal:
- Diesel Fuel V12

Pre Evening Meal:
- Diesel Fuel V12

Before Bed:
- Multivitamin

Non-Workout Days:
Pre AM Meal:
- Green Bulge
- Diesel Fuel V12

Pre Mid-Day Meal:
- Diesel Fuel V12

Pre Evening Meal:
- Diesel Fuel V12

Before Bed:
- Multivitamin

* Again please note that until I cut out the body fat I am looking to lose and start to bulk I will be holding off on adding in Blue Up. Blue Up will be added in when the bulking/mass muscle add on happens.

That should get me ready for next Tomorrow... more updates to come! Comments and Suggestions always welcomed! Thanks
