Baller's ATP Log

[smoothballer]

I was given the chance to log Animal ATP Project Stak by Interning in the Cage. So pumped about this. I originally signed up in the thread to try and win, but out of no where was given the opportunity in the Cage. Currently I am dual training. I am doing the Tough Mudder in May with Nix so I am increasing my endurance through cardio (lots of running, which is something I have always sucked at and hated) and faster paced workouts. The second is to continue to build strength since that is always my goal as well as needing it to crush the obstacles during the Mudder. This is a completely new challenge for me and constantly look for different ways to push myself. I am expecting Project Stak to help me greatly in the strength category.

My plan is to take Project Stak 20 - 30 minutes before my workouts and right before bed on an empty stomach on off days. This is how I take the original Stak so I want to do a true comparison. Also I love the deep sleep and anabolic nature of taking this right before bed.

So here we go...

Day 1 - 3/11/13

Project Stak was taken 30 min before bed to get it into my system before the first workout. Some nice deep sleep.

- Working on keeping my button down and my new form where my feet are flat on the floor. I find I have a ton more leg drive this way but seem to be pushing myself backwards where I start to slide on the bench and lose my arch. This is what happened on the 215 and 235. First rep felt solid and before the 2nd rep I was no where near in the right position so I shut it down.
- This was a short workout because of working late, but damage was definitely done.
- Project Stak was taken 20-30 min before the workout

Comments

- Between the deficit and the fact that I haven't been doing deads, these were a bitch but got it done
- Shut it down on the snatch grip on the last set because I started to feel it on my disc. No sense hurting myself
- Project Stak taken 30 min before workout. Going to increase that to 45 minutes next workout.

- This running thing is getting easier. Wait did I just say that?
- Project Stak will be taken before bed. Playing with when to take it on cardio only days.

[Mr. Dead]

Nice work...!!! Except for that running thing... I don't understand that concept of running... It's bad for your health... It makes you short of breath, you sweat profusely, it hurts... Almost the same symptoms of a heart attack...

[Cellardweller]

So you take it right before bed and then again in the AM? Wouldn't you want to take it around the same time every day?

Gotta do what I gotta do to be able to conquer the Mudder.

No I work out in the evenings.

[Cellardweller]

I'm following your example anyway. Off day Project Stak will be about 10:00 PM. Training days about 09:30. Like J-Dawg said in my log, it makes sense for recovery to take it at night on the off days.

I have always had good results from taking it this way.

Comments
- World Gym
- Everything clicked on the last set of floor presses. Felt solid as a rock every rep
- It felt good to have a plan going in. I felt I got a lot more accomplished. Triceps are fried.
- Project Stak was taken 30 - 35 min before working out
- Loving the endurance that this new formula is giving me. Wish I could run 2 cans back to back then follow it up with M-Stak and really go for the gold.
