 Day 1 (monday 1- 30 -06) Morning Weight: 175 Supplements taken: Multi Vitamin CL-Carnitine3 super EPA's (throughout the day) 22g BCAA (around workout) protein (post-workout) Okay, so I'm a junior in college studying finance. I started to work out in high school but got really into it when I got to college....this year more than any other year. Currently I am cutting from 200lbs to about 165lbs for my schools bodybuilding competition. As I stated above, I wanna come in at around 3% bodyfat. Only 4 more weeks of dieting!! Sure hope this Stim X gives me the edge i'm looking for. 8:45am Woke up and really excited for the first day. Weighed myself at the apartment and was the lightest i've been in like 3 years. Made breakfast (the biggest of my 6 meals) and popped 1 capsule of the Stim X. So far, so good...got class at 10 but i'll report back. 11:00am Eating meal 2 now. Still feeling pretty good. I feel awake and alert. ThinkI might have a 2nd dose pre-workout...we'll see how I feel then. 3:00pm Still feeling good after a day of a couple classes and a meeting. Just finished my 3rd meal and gonna head to the gym in about 30min. I'm feelin hyper and ready to hit the gym hard. I'm taking my second dose of Stim X (1 capsule) Lets see how back day goes!!! 5:00pm Pretty good day at the gym. Felt amped throughout my workout. Also seemed like a constant flow of energy. My lifting partner described some of the stuff I was doing between sets as goofy but all in all it was a fun day at the gym. Here's what my lifts looked like today... Monday (back day) pull-ups total of 50 BB bent over rows (usually at 225 but since i did pull-ups, started lower) 205 x 8 205 x 8 205 x 7 Lat pull-down 210 x 7 200 x 6 V-bar pull-down 200 x 7 200 x 6 seated v-bar rows 225 x 5 205 x 7 DB heavy one-arm rows 100 x 7 100 x 5 8:00pm Had my 5th meal about a half hour ago. I'm def. not as hyper or jumpy as earlier but never the less, I'm still feeling good. I seem to still have energy to do things which is cool b/c this is normally the time I start to die down and get lazy. Whatever, maybe it's just the higher carb day. On the weekends, I go very low on carbs so come monday, my body is loving the extra carbs. Well, since I'm still goin, I might as well get some hw out of the way. p.s. I don't think i'm going to be able to get pics up tonight, but sometime this week, they should be up.

 Day 2 (1-31-06) Morning weight: 175.8 Supplements taken: Multi Vitamin CL-Carnitine3super EPA's (throughout the day) 22g Xtend (around workout) 100% Whey protein (post-workout) Casein (before bed) 7:45am Didn't sleep all too good last night at all. Hope it wasn't from the Stim X. Will report back on that tho. As for now, Cardio morning...just had my first dose of Stim X. Off to the rec for some light stretching and then 20min of HIIT. 9:15am Just got back from the gym. Warmed up and then did 20 min. on the stairstepper. Burned 456 calories!!! Felt good throughout except i felt the chills coming on a few times. Nothing too bad tho. We'll see how it goes Thursday morning. 3:30pm Just finished with class and now eating my 3rd meal of the day. Plan to have my 2nd dose (1 cap.) of Stim after eating. So far today i've been a little tired but i believe its just from the lack of sleep and then starting the day with cardio. All in all, the Stim seems to be doing good keeping me going. Gonna head to the gym within the hour. Shoulders and Abs today....should be a good day. 6:15pm got back from the gym about 15min ago and i'm ready to eat. Although i was a little tired, i still had an okay day at the gym. I think that 2nd dose of Stim X might have helped me get through my workouts today. Here's what today looked like... Tuesday (shoulders / Abs) Seated BB military press.... shitty 8 x 165 5 x 175 DB Arnold press 10 x 65 8 x 65 kneeling one-arm cross cable laterals 15 x 40 13 x 45 one-arm behind the back cross cable laterals 12 x 40 9 x 40 Front DB raises 8 x 45 10 x 40 Seated bent-over DB laterals 10 x 40 8 x 40 Abs Db leg raises 15 x 30 13 x 30 10 x 30 7 x 30 Cable crunches 17 x 200 15 x 200 10 x 200 12:30am Still up...just finished hw and now its shower and off to bed.

 Day 8 (2-6-2006) Morning weight: 173 Supplements taken: SAME Multi Vitamin CL-Carnitine3 super EPA's (throughout the day) 22g Xtend (around workout) 100% Whey protein (post-workout) Casein (before bed) 9am So i'm one week into using the Stim X. I have so far enjoyed using it. I feel a constant stream of energy when i take it first thing in the morning and then when I have my 2nd dose right before working out, it gives me that extra kick i need. For me, I find dosing it 1 capsule, 2 times per day works best. I do plan on trying different doses in the near future tho. On the down side, I often feel crabby. I truly dont believe this is the Stim X but it very well may be. Also, I sometimes notice the chills coming on. I haven't got the chills yet to where its unbareable , just to the point where it has been uncomfortable. They only seemed to last a short period. (less than 5min.) So, got up and made breakfast. Had my first dose of Stim immediatley after i ate. My weight in the mornings has been the same now for a while. I'm hoping a i'll be able to drop this come competition time. Only 25 days left!!!! 5:45pm took 1 cap. of Stim around 3:30 and went to the gym around 4pm. Before I went, I stopped in at the ATP lab and had a BF% test done. I was 4.58% @ 173lbs. Not where I wanna end up but happy none the less. The guy working there was confused b/c his records show that I was 200lbs only 8 weeks ago. HAHA okay, so back to business, here was my back day today. About the same as last week. Monday (back) pull-ups (total to 50) BB bent over row 7 x 205 9 x 205 8 x 205 Lat pull-down 7 x 210 8 x 200 V-bar pull-down 8 x 200 7 x 200 V-bar cable row 8 x 205 7 x 205 1-arm DB row 9 x 100 8 x 100 7 x 100 10pm just about to have my last meal and hit up the bed. Cardio tomorrow morning...should be a good time.
