Supplement Review:

I took 4 caps of Hypertrop-x 30 minutes before my workout, i got a beta alanine flush! Haha i got that ichy feeling but within 5 minutes it subsided.

So far so good, it will take a few weeks before i start to really notice the benefits. Its just to early to tell!

7/3 Chest and Arms

Ciao Everyone

Today I hit up some Chest and Arms Hypertophy Style!

Heres my workout

Incline Cable Flyes
60lbs for 10 reps PR

Incline DB Press
105lbs for 5 reps????? Last week i got 8???

Dips
Bodyweight (bw) for 12 reps
BW for 12 reps
BW + 25 for 12 reps

Incline DB Curls
50lbs for 6 reps ?? I got 8 last week? Rest Paused til getting to 10 reps

Lying Tricep Extensions
135lbs for 8 reps

Seated Alternating DB Curls
40lbs for 15 reps

Cable V-Bar Pushdowns
80lbs for 15 reps

Notes: I was shocked when i couldnt get Incline DB for 8 reps, i dont understand why i missed my attempt? I felt really good, today was my re-feed so i was nice and full. I was pumped to the max! I went lighter on the missed attempts and focused on feel.....Chest was always a weak bodypart for me to bring up. I lack thickness. Bench pressing is a hard movement for me because i have long arms, i think i will focus alittle more on dips and flyes to help bring up my chest. Decline presses might help because it will stop my front delts from taking over the movement

All in all not a bad workout! Diet is 100% Buts thats a given!

Supplement Review:

Well i took my first dose of Hypertrop-x today and i must say the pills are kind of big.

I didnt really notice any difference in my strength (but then again i am dieting) I did have a crazier pump then normal

Its to early to tell how the supplement is working so i will see what happens tomm!

Hypertrop X Review



As everyone knows i have been selected to represent Advanced Muscle Science's Hypertrop-X. First off i want to thank Advanced Muscle Science for giving me the opportunity to test drive this new product, I promise i will not dissappoint them!

I will give the product a full HONEST review.
I will be taking 4 capsules 30 minutes before a workout and 30 minutes before a HIIT Cardio session

Ingredients:

Beta Alanine
L-Leucine
Yohimbine HCL


What a great combination of ingredients

Beta Alanine to help get stronger
L-Leucine to prevent muscle breakdown
and Yohimbine HCL to shred some fat and increase intensity
Appearance: Bright Orange caps, very cool looking
But i have never taken any beta alanine product that was in caps form so we will see what happens



anyone has any questions please feel free to ask!

7/2 HIIT just a quicky

Hey everyone
Things are going really well so far

Today i started off Posing before cardio
I did 15 min of posingf
ollowed by 15 min high Intensity Intervals
and 5 min cooldown

After cardio i looked at my quads and i am starting to see some new veins surfacing!!!!!

Just about 7 weeks left!!!! Keep Pushing!
