garb's controlled labs log

[garb]

last week i ordered some of controlled labs's white blood and green bulge. i was planning on waiting till the end of my cycle to compair my results with the testers of these two products, but max had mentioined that it would be a good idea to post my log so people could see how the two work when stacked together.......so here it is

Goals
I am looking to get stronger and gain more muscle mass. i am looking to gain anywhere from 15 to 20 pounds of muscle by around the end of april/beging of may. i think those are resonable numbers to reach, and of course anything more would be an added bonus.

Supplements
controlled lab's white blood
controlled lab's green bulge
on 100% whey
on 100% casien
anabolic pro-line L-glutamine
flaxseed oil
gnc multi
***im considering throwing in some desinger supplements glucophase xr when i start my bulk***

Diet
rite now im on a high protein, medium carb, low fat diet. 50 35 15 and roughly 2800 calories. in two weeks i will rework my diet into 40 40 20 and roughly 3500 calories.

Routine
the powerlifting routine im on now looks like this:
mon: back
tue: off
wed: chest
thur: legs
fri/sat/sun: off

when i start my bulking, im leaning towards this routine:
mon: chest
tue: back
wed: shoulders
thur: legs
fri: arms
sat/sun: off
***abs will be thrown in twice a week, most likely tuesday and thursday

that is what im leaning towards rite now, its not set in stone so any thoughts or suggestions would be apreciated.


ok, im getting kinda tired of typing rite now, so later on tonight i will post my stats, measurements, supplement history, and anything else i failed to mention thus far. plus ill throw in some "before" pictures.

one last thing. this is my first online log im keeping so im kinda new at this. if you feel im leaving anything out or i should change something, please let me know. im excited about doing this log and am looking foward to the expercence.

[pu12en12g]

Great to see that you got this log started ! Good luck man !

[garb]

thanks for all the support so far guys.....

i bought myself a new scale yesterday, and when i stepped on it this morning it said 156. now i know what your all thinking, "WOW 5 pounds in one day...and he didnt even lift yet, this stuff must be amazing"....lol come on now we all know that the only supps. that can do something like that are muscletech's cell-tech and nitro-tech.....it's probobly that my old scale was just a piece, thats all

other than that i'm fealing pretty good. stepped on my scale this morning and it said 156.5...so i gained a half a pound...its a good start. im looking forward to monday, back day, because i love dead lifts

felt really good today. weights were nice. again pumps were real nice and my veins are popping out like crazy. i could have gone heavier on all lifts today, but i held back a little bit because i have a game tonight. i dont need my legs to fall off while im on the ice. especially when someone whos got a good 100+ pounds on me is haulling ass trying to crush me. should be fun....

[garb]

day 13
off

im almost done the second week of this stack. so far ive noticed some really nice pumps and the weights are going up nicely. with the exception of tommorows back workout, ive finished my powerlifting routine. tomorow will be my final workout for that routine. my strength has increased nicely through out the routine. i will be maxing out on my bench on tues to see how much it has increased. my squats and deads have gone up dramaticly, roughly 60lbs on my squat and 70 lbs on my deads. if anyone has any questions about the routine i was following, feal free to ask or email me......

tomorow i begin my bulking. i will be taking roughly 3500 calories a day. im going to use a 40/40/20 diet, aprox. 350g protein, 350g carbs, and 77g fat. hopefully i will see some nice gains coming from these numbers. now im not an expert when it comes to diet, so im sure that im gona have a few questions along the way.

my new training split will be as follows

monday:
back
tuesday:
chest
wednesday:
legs
thursday:
shoulders
friday:
arms
sat/sun:
off

i decided to skip my last powerlifting workout and go straight to the muscle building. im still tweeking the routine a little bit....i think i did the straight arm pulldowns way too early, and will probobly alternate bent barbell rows with reverse grip barbell rows week by week. i did deads last just to switch things up a little. i was trying to hit my entire back today....upper lats, lower lats, mid back, lower back, ect. but i think it would be best to alternate parts here as well. work upper lats and mid back one week and lower lats and lower back the next, for example.

other than that, it was the usual good workout. real nice pumps today. felt good to change it up, and im looking forward to the upcoming months.

on a side note: i never realised how hard it was to eat so much..lol. does anyone have any tips on how i can get those extra carbs, calories and protein with out all of the sugar and fat found in most of the foods/snacks that are in my closet.....thanks in advance

[pu12en12g]

on a side note: i never realised how hard it was to eat so much..lol. does anyone have any tips on how i can get those extra carbs, calories and protein with out all of the sugar and fat found in most of the foods/snacks that are in my closet.....thanks in advance

When bulking (to gain lean muscle mass), I aim for:

- 1lb lean beef per day
- 1 Gallon Skim Milk per day
- Around 2000 cals per day from oats
- Lots of protein shakes (up to 8 per day)
- Lean chicken
- Lean turkey
- Lean beef / sloppy Joes (manwich)
- Hamburger Helper
- Lots of pasta
- Lots of tuna
- Potatoes
- Rice (Note: If you can afford it you can do things like boneless chicken breast, steaks etc.. etc..)
- Veggies (Fresh if possible)

When cutting (to lose fat):

- I eat many of the same foods above, but with a lower TOTAL DAILY CALORIE INTAKE

- I put a emphasis on PRE- and POST-workout nutrition, and the end result is that most of my calories are eaten before my afternoon workout. I have found this to be ideal (for me).

[garb]

day 24

sorry i havent posted my workouts the last few days.....i gota new job and i havent had anytime. my last few workouts werent my best, im not proud of this. plus my diet has been kinda screwed up this week due the the new schedual and the lack of time to get it together.

tuesdays chest work out

bench press
195-x6
195-x6

incline bench press

decline bench press
135-x8
145-x8
155-x7

thats it...like i said, im not very proud of my last few workouts but atleast its better then nothing. let me give some insight as to why my workout/diet was bad here. i woke up and 7:30 for school, had school from 9 till noon. work from noon till 6. got home at 6:30. lifted at 7:15 finished up around 7:45(i know long time for a short workout but i was tryin to do some homework between sets) 8 i was out the door heading to a hockey game. 10:30 game time. got home at around 1:30 and crashed. i didnt want to really tire myself out for my game either.
.....but no excuses, i have to get my act together and straighten it out....im sure theres people on this forum who have it rougher then me and manage to get it done

wensdays legs workout

again...not a spectacular work out as i was again pressed for time. but something is beter than nothing. today im actually going to skip my shoulder work out, because i got home late from work and i have to be out the door soon for a hockey game again. i dont have work or anything after school tomorow so i am going to combine my shoulder and arms for tomorow.

p.s. on a side note, id like to add that tho green bulge and white blood are making me stronger and im gaining size.........THEY DO NOT MAKE ME ANY SMARTER...lol. in my game on tuesday night, i decided i was tough and was going to square up with a guy that was 6'4" 255lbs(im only 5'8" 165lbs). he beat the piss outa me...and now i have two black eyes and a fat lip to add to the increase in strength and size....lol ;)

[garb]

lol yeh i know not the smartest move ive ever made

[max von]

Hey did you notice and stomach discomfort with the green buldge? I have been having alot of gas in the stomach. The only thing that I have changed, is the Green Buldge. Just wondering if anyone noticed that, or is it from something else

[garb]

actually max, i did notice a little bit of excess gas like 10-15mins after concuming the green bulge. i noticed i was belching(for lack of a beter term lol) quite a bit.....and it was not a pleasent taste.....kinda like that capsules. but it didnt really bother my too much. when this occured, i just drank another bottle of water and it seemed to stop.i think the gas comes from the capsules being dissolved and broked down in the stomach, but im not 100% sure. next time you notice this, try drinking some more water it works for me

p.s. i also noticed that it seemed to occur more when i took it within 30mins to an hour of eating.

[garb]

final review

price: 9/10...green bulge and white blood are extremely afordable. bang for your buck, this stack is probobly one of the best out there IMO.

impact on workout: 10/10...this stack gives you some amazing pumps. as far as strength goes, well just look at the numbers. in the beging of my log i was benching 185-6 and 205-x3. my last chest workout i was doing 205-x6, for three sets. thats a pretty big jump in a short amount of time.

side effects: i didnt notice any light headedness that some of the other members have reported. however, i did notice a little bit of gas aprox. 10-15mins following taking the supps. again it was nothing major tho, i just drank some more water and it seemed to go away.

final thoughts: this is def. a great stack. the pumps are amazing and my strength really went up. i highly recomend this stack to anyone. its afordabilty and positive effects make it a great addition to add to anyone/everyones current program.



new stats:

weight: 164.....+8lbs
waiste: 33".....+1"
chest: 40".....+1.25"
bicep(L): 14.25.....+.75"
quad(R): 20".....+1.5"

Great review, these products worked great for me as well
