Alright guys, time to go to work. Applied Nutriceuticals is backing me, so its time to give back and show how well these products work. Age:31 Weight:218 lbs Goals: Strength, Size, and on to getting Leaner. 1st Stack of Supplements: DriveRPMNeoVar: Recomped Other Supplements: Whey ProteinMulti Vitamin Fish Oils Water: about a gallon a day Dosing Protocol AM: 8:00 3 NeoVar: 15 minutes later Carb/ Protein loading 9:30 3 Drive/ 2 RPMDosing Protocol PM: 6:00 3 Drive/ 3 RPM6:45 1 RPM8-8:30 3 NeoVar upon WO conclusion: 15 minutes later Carb/ Protein loading and recovery WO Schedule: Chest, Delts Bi's, Tri's Back, Traps Legs, Calves Off Repeat and on to (with no time restraints) Chest, Tri, Delt Bi, Back, Traps Legs, Calves, Abs Repeat Off Repeat First Workout: Chest/Delts Chest Flat: 135x15, 225x12, 275x8, 295x6, 295x6, 225x10 Chest Incline: (225x8)x3, 185x12 Decline Fly/Press: (55DBx12)x3 followed by Pressesx10 Delt Front Cable raise: (30lb on carriagex12)x3 Delt DB Press: (80DBx10)x4 Delt Bent 1 Arm Raises: (10lb on Carriage)x12)x4 Overall Workout: Great, feeling good. For first workout on new supplements felt great, pump seemed strong and lasting, though not insane yet but better than normal. Mentally to smash weights felt awesome, clear and on a mission. Pump: Felt alittle fuller than normal, woke up this morning fuller in chest and delts. Sweat: Sweating off the hook in 70 degree basement. Like a forehead water fall going on, usually brushed off inbetween sets! Sides: Alittle stomach discomfort at first, but still recovering after eating church food over weekend. Overall a good start to the log, feeling alittle better already but only a taste of things to come. Workout was good, took just about the past month off with planning my daughter's birthday and other spring house duties so for my first real balls to the wall workout I felt great to be back giving 100%...well almost as with dad duty I missed my dinner but made up for it after my workout with some extra protein/carbs! Well enough type...Quick pic after Inclines, set up the camera and jumped back for a quick shot...LOL not enough time to get a smile down I guess!!  Oh well gotta start somewhere.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. I respect everyone here, sometimes more than my friends! So I really do appreciate it. Shakes I'm standing at 5'8" maybe 9". My weight maybe alittle off, I can fluctuate between 218-225 pretty easy just by how much I eat and my water intake. Its weird it can jump like that but it does! Also I've been getting in more steak cooking, now that summer is kicking off and I'm grilling more and making steaks to take to work with sweet potatoes. Hopefully at the end of this stack, I'll be further along. I can tell I've lost some size this past month with being busy around the house doing dad things and housework, so my workouts have been every other week it seems, and then just enough to pump up and be done. So even the days I have gotten to workout its been rushed. Now things seem to be slowing to normal which is still busy but I'm getting more time and a bigger urge to Smash some Heavy Weights!!! Heck theres been days this past month were I wasn't getting my nighttime protein shakes in and really just drinking a morning shake, so it'll be good to get that going again. I have been eating here and there decently though so that helped with not losing too much. But I'm confident I'll build it back up with help from Applied's supplements, hence my thread title!  I'm real excited to show what these products can unleash with consistency. This stuff is the real deal.

Checking in quick with ya bud. Thanks for the invite...I will make sure to follow along. Another good way to keep everyone posted is to do what you did to invite everyone...send out an e-mail to all of us to keep us posted. One major thing I notice....your upper body development is great. Curious to see if you can put it all together though bud. Tighten and tone your upper body a bit more and your close to a competition build up top at least. Anyway, since your goals are strength, size, and leaning out a bit. A good training program suggestion for you is to follow the 10x3 training style. If you want more detail on that hit me up anytime bud and I'll be glad to share with you how it works and what the layout is. Your a part of the team...so I'm always available especially to help my fellow team members out. Cheers bud!

Lookin deez as always brutha. Will be following this log fo sho. Quick question about RPM/ Drive. What is the proper dosage, in your opinion? They break it down by weight on the bottle. I weigh 260, but I don't wanna run through these bottles so fast! What would you recommend for dosage on off-days too? Every company will tell you to take a full dose on off-days, but part of me thinks that's just so they'll sell more pills. Thanks for the advices bro! Keep SFW, I'll be watchin! MOD EDIT

At your size bud I recommend doing this type of dosing protocol. On training days...2 or 3 caps upon waking 45 mins prior to eating, and then 3 or 4 caps pre-workout. If you take 2 caps upon waking then take 4 caps pre-workout, or just do a 3-3 split. On off days...Take 4 caps total (2-2...upon waking and then 6-8 hours later). Also with RPM...you don't have to, but I personally like splitting my doses of RPM so I am taking my RPM with my DRIVE both times...I notice better effects that way and also better results. I take RPM and DRIVE @6 caps a day on training days and off days I take 4 caps...this way your getting the most out of the products as cumulative effects are what the products are all about, and both products will run out at the same time. I'm around your size so hence my recommendations...I'm just a touch bigger@ 6'4" 275lbs. Got anymore questions...post em up and if I am around I'll do what I can to help you otherwise Big Ben should have ya covered bud. Cheers!

Thanks guys, nice answer SMS to JDub's question, exactly what I'd say to a T! I've always taken the same amount of Drive on my off days, but lower the RPM alittle since I don't need the intensity since I'm not lifting...unless I wake up tired though. Many companies tell you to take the same dosage just to keep a constant flow of product with no dips, but as SMS said dropping a pill on off days won't make a big difference to make a product last compared to not taking it at all! Have you taken Drive before JDub? SMS, how is 10x3's on your joints, I've heard a few guys do this which is 10sets by 3 right? I tried a 5x5 once and after a few weeks my left elbow started to ache upon full extention. So I decided to keep reps alittle higher. Bi/Tri'sExercises done back to back, unless drop sets Warmup: Cable Ez Curls: 40lb on Sledx14 Dips: Bodyweightx12 Barbell Curls: 65x12 95x10 (115x8)x2 drop set 75x10 Cable Tricep Extension: 40lb on sledx14 50lbx12 (70lbx10)x3 Standing DB Curls: (55DBx8 ea arm)x3 Cable Rope Extensions: 50lb on sledx10 (60lbx8)x3 Preacher 90 Degree Ez Bar Curls: (85x10) (85x8)x3 Skull Crushers on Decline: (85x8)x4 Finish Pump: Cable Hammer Curls: (50lb on sledx10)x2 (Dipsx12)x2 Overall Workout: Back in the saddle baby!! Workout was great, its good to be back hitting it hard. Mental strength was up thanks to RPM, didn't get too low of reps on tri's as after chest I was getting those extension pains. Didn't hurt during workout both nights just after? Maybe time to hit up the Osteo-C?!! Pump: Off the hook tonite, took a pic of my bi's that I gotta get up soon....but made my chest and delts look small they were in swole mode! Not an insane pump but darn close, and it only gets better! Vascularity looked good as well. Sweat: Yup can tell its summer, RPM really drives it to the max it seems. I was sweating before I even started! I'm not a guy that sweats alot either! Sides: Noticing that my deuces are getting a bit softer, but that always happens when I run Drive. I don't think my GI tract does so hot with the Forslean. Thats as far as I'm going on with that one! I'll have to see what I can do about getting pics up, my pic posted yesterday was at the end of a disc in my digital camera. For some reason my computer only wants to read finalized discs, which the camera takes those 3" mini discs and holds around 150 pics! I'm at 6 on this new one. On to Back/Traps!

Nope, not yet. Vitruvian hooked me up though, gonna start the Drive/ RPM stack soon, perhaps next week. What're the bi's measuring these days broski? Any new PR's on the bench/dead/squat to report?

First, Big Ben...yes the 10 x 3 can be tough on the joints, but thats why you take your EFA's in abundance along with a Cissus product. If you want to really make sure you have no joint issues I always recommend getting Controlled Labs Orange Triad (Best Multi-V formula out there as it also provides joint support) and stacking it with a Cissus Product like AN's own Osteobolin-C. Second, I'll provide the science behind the 10 x 3 training method...check the link out! If you guys want you can take a look at my personal 10 x 3 training program layout as I have at the end. My style is a variation of the typical 10 x 3... Anyway, a quick credit to Derek "The Beast" Charlebois as I am taking the science aspect of things from his words in the article "The Power To Be Pretty". I have done the 10 x 3 training style for a while, but I like his approach as far the science aspect goes. Check out the article on BB.com. Here is the link... http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beast54.htm. Anyway, fellas if you want to take a look at my way and style of doing the 10 x 3 Here it is for ya to take a gander at: Here is a sample of the 10 x 3 Training Program: This is my own version of how I do things. It is six days per week, period. No turning this into a five-day program or a four- day program. If you cannot commit to six days, forget about doing this program. If you can suck it up and do this for twelve weeks then you will enjoy great results and realize all the dedication and sacrifices are worth it in the end. If you want to be a massive and powerful beast it takes relentless dedication…no ands, ifs, or fuss about it. Either commit 100% to it, or find a different program that suits your schedule better…everyone does have their own life to worry about and this program is only recommend for experienced and more advanced type trainers so if it doesn’t suit you, don’t feel bad…its not for just anyone and everyone. Monday - Morning Cardio (30 mins…low to moderate intensity) Abs Squat: 10 sets of 3 reps After session Cardio (30 mins low to moderate intensity) Tuesday – Morning Cardio (30 mins…low to moderate intensity) Squat Assist 3 sets of 8-12 Reps of EACH Leg Press Leg Extensions Lunges Wrist Curls Calves Wednesday - Morning Cardio (30 mins…low to moderate intensity) Bench: 10 sets of 3 reps with 2 second pause at bottom of each rep Abs After session Cardio (30 mins low to moderate intensity) Thursday – Morning Cardio (30 mins…low to moderate intensity) Bench Assist 3 sets of 8-12 Reps of EACH Shoulder Press Straight Bar Shoulder Shrugs (I alternate every week between front shrugs and behind the back trap shrugs) Wide Position Weighted Pushups (2 45lb plates balanced on back) CGBP Incline Wide Angle Dips (feet positioned on bench with only edges of heels touching, Hands positioned on elevated platform, pause for 3 seconds at bottom of movement) Pressdowns Wrist Curls Calves Friday - Morning Cardio (30 mins…low to moderate intensity) Abs Deadlift 10 sets of 3 reps with a complete stop and 2 second "reset" at bottom After session Cardio (30 mins low to moderate intensity) Saturday – (The day that separates the men from the boys) Morning Cardio (30 mins…low to moderate intensity) Back Assist 3 sets of 8-12 Reps of EACH Pullups Lat Pulldowns Standard Straight Bar Rows Low Rows or Reverse Rows (I alternate back and forth between each week) Straight Bar Bicep Curls Hammer Curls Reverse Curls Leg Curls Wrist Curls Calves Sunday OFF (If you want to do something active…do nothing more than 30 mins of low to moderate intensity cardio)

Decided to give upperbody a rest since I'm pretty sore, so I'm putting off back/traps till tonite! So last night I hit legs. LegsHack Squats (Barbell behind legs): 135x15 185x12 225x10 225x10 275x8 275x6 Woohoo, legs are feeling hot! Squats: 225x12 225x12 275x8 Extensions: (100lb on attachmentx14)x3 Curls: Same Calve raises: (275x14)x4 Overall Workout: Another great workout, didn't go as high as I would on poundage with Hack and Squats since legs haven't been hit as hard as I like lately being busy. And I still gotta walk today, but still did my 9 second reps, 3 down, 3 up and 3 second flex at the top, so pump was good and getting hot! Its great to be back on RPM! Pump: Good, there was a difference in size quickly as my boxers started to pinch into my legs! But I love it when it does that, you know you are getting full muscle pumpitude!!!  Sweat: Not bad, alittle later workout tonite so it was cooler outside, still had to shower after the workout otherwise I'd be going to bed sticky. And I worked out in shorts so it was alittle cooler. Sides: Going to knock back my morning dose of 3 Drive to 2, getting alittle noticeable stomach discomfort but nothing intense. Legs are hammered today, glad I didn't hit back as my bi's did need a rest after those BB curls and preachers. Atleast I can walk, if I had bumped to 315 I'd be in trouble I think. Oh well, gotta save alittle for next time anyway. I'm feeling great, and noticing things are getting harder and feeling fuller so I'm loving it. Its good to be back, and looking forward to killing it tonite! Back will be: Wide Pull ups (warmup) Reverse Grip Pulldowns Bent T-Bar Rows BB rows/Possibly Deads Seated T-Bar Rows Traps: BB Shrugs/superset DB Cable T-Bar Shrugs
