Since I started lifting I have considered myself a student of the sport. Good students are always striving to learn more about what they're capable of. This is my chance to explore my potential even further. This will be a log of my trial run with Agent O and I am looking forward to seeing where this new supplement can take my lifting. The test run starts now...

Just picked up my trial run of Agent O. I'll be heading to the gym when I'm done with class and now it's even harder to wait... I'll post on my journey thread and here when the smoke settles

Agent O trial run started today. my first impression was "hmm that's an awefully small scoop" downed it about 15 minutes before I left for the gym. Everything after that was a bit of a blur.

Military press
135x5x4
155x3x2
185x2+3PP
135+tyler gripsx8x3

close grip strict bench
135x5
225x3x2
275x1
295x1 w/pause
295x3
245x2x8(40 sec rest between sets)
245x10 (75 sec after last speed set)

pull ups
15x4

wide grip dips
10x5

alot of lower core work

cardio
elliptical 10/1648

I'm gonna keep this write up quick so I can get to bed in time to wake up at 4 to leave for the ABC in kent at the warehouse tomorrow with seath242, Richvanv, Higa, mr. dead, Zacky boy, and the rest of the crew. my shoulder was hurting a bit from yesterdays pulls so the overheads today were not very enjoyable but the close grip work was phenomenal. I don't usually have the energy to work up to a heavy triple, then do 8 speed sets with short rest, and then do a higher rep set with a moderate weight... My only thought was "this has to be the O" As far as the supplement is concerned... All right universal you got my attention!

ABC at the warehouse today. I was still pretty torched from my last week of workouts, but I sucked it up downed my agent O and had a great time. I managed to do some pretty fun event training.

yoke warmup
Tire flips
500x2x6
700x2x5
700x1x5
875x2 PR
875x1

tire jumps
48 1/2 in x4 jumps (big PR)

atlas stones (to 58")
185x3
255x2
288xmiss (tendonitits in my left elbow)

rope sled drag
sled+290 keg

chain drag
700 for 90 ft
700 for 50 ft

I really felt the O helping today as I only got about 4 hours of sleep last night. The 875 tire was a big mark for me because even when I was training strongman in the past before taking a break from it I never flipped anything more than a 700. stones weren't there tday but the sled drag, jumps, and chain were all on fire. I'm not sure what all got filmed but I'll post them as I find them.

felt really beat up from saturdays session. My back bickeps and legs were pretty drained and even warming up with 225 felt like a challenge. This is why I am convinced that agent O is legitimate because I still managed to hit some big numbers and even a few PRs...'

deads warm up dble overhand alternate stances
135x2x2
225x2x2
315x2x2
405x1 (add suit belt and over under grip)
405x2
495x1
585x1
675x1
715x1 and 8/9ths (I probably should have just hitched and got this rep but I couldn't bring myself to do it)
725xmiss (chalk wearing off, combined with being tired didn't help this pull at all)

Straight legged sumo deads
315x3
405x3 Add belt
495x3
545x4 (PR)

hip thrusts
225x5
315x5
495x5

glute ham raises
35x10x2
45x10x2

lower ab circuit

I came in feeling pretty crappy so I was pretty satisfied with the work that I managed to get in. I used my new flip camera to film as much as I could of this one so I'm in the proccess of finishing up the video editing. I'll post the comprhensive workout vid as soon as I finish it and get it uploaded. last incline/floor press day tomorrow before adding flat benches back in.

had a great session today the last 4 weeks of not benching to work on my weaknesses Plus Agent O equal 1 good max pressing day...

close grip incline
135x5x2
185x5
205x5
225x3
255x3 PR
275x1 (PR and my rear end stayed down)
225x7 PR as far as clean reps are concerned
225x5

floor press
135x5
225x5
275x3
315x1
335x1 (leg drive against a wall turned into a sliding cheated rep but still got good work, 315 is still my official 1 rep max)

flat DB bench
100x9,8,7 (unintentional pyramid)

Single arm seated DB military+tyler grips
60x9 PR
55x10

pull up dip superset
10&10x3

upper abs

I was worked enough for my liking by the end of this. Inclines and floor presses have improved phenomenally in the last few weeks and I know that it will definitely carry over into my Benching. As for Agent O I am definitely liking the stuff more and more, I don't want this alpha test supply to run out!!! I'm putting the vid together now and I'll post it once I can get it loaded!!

Stilll using the O in my sessions and still loving the stuff. I've been really busy with school lately so when I get time to head to the gym I'm usually pretty tired. But after taking the O the tiredness is gone and I feel ready to go. This product is definitely holding it's own
