So I'm a little late getting this up here, but better late than never. New to joining here, but have been active over at PHF for a while. Here's my first posts from my log over there, and I'll be updating here as well now too. This is a log about a sponsored run of SDMZ 3.0 thanks to heavyiron and the boys at IML.

First post from Mon (gives some insight of plan/split outline currently)...

Oh Yes it finally came!!! Got my package of Super DMZ 3.0 last night as I had been out of town. Great present to come back to!! Thanks to all the boys at IML, Heavyiron esp for giving me a chance to take this on a test drive.

The product:




It comes in a pretty bottle and a nice red cap. Took the first dose this morning and am looking forward to getting started with this run. My current goals have been focused on strength and diet lately has not been great, esp with the holidays. For this run, I will be keeping the strength focus, but will be dialing in the diet and dialing up the cardio.

Training split is heavy power days Mon/Tues/Wed and Explosive training on Fri/Sat. Going to try and mix in cardio for 30 min each day, with double session on Thursday and additional cardio on Sun.

Splits for Power Days:
Mon - Chest/Bis/Forearms
Tues - Legs/Tris/Calves
Wed - Shoulders/Back/Traps

Splits for Explosive Days: (50% max, 5,4,3 reps with 2 sec negative and explosive up)
Fri - Chest/Bis/Forearms/Legs/Tris
Sat - Calves/Shoulders/Back/Traps

I'm hoping the SDMZ is going to allow me to add some strength and cut down on the waste I've accumulated while doing so in a caloric reduction. I will be taking Organ Shield along side this to help protect my liver a little lol.

I'm stoked for this and hope that this is as successful as my last great experience with IML.

Did 10 min of cardio post workout. Had intended to do 20-30 min but life required that I leave the gym and go home. Tomorrow is a scheduled off day from lifting, but will be doing double dose of cardio tomorrow.
 
Today's work is purely cardio. I will be trying for 30-45 min this afternoon depending on work schedule. AM session was cancelled here due to weather.

If anyone has questions or wants more detail on anything, I'm glad to answer.
 
You don't wanna see the before pics bro. LOL. I'm probably close to 25% bf right now.

I know, most ppl will say not to use ph/ds/ass/etc at a high bf, but I'm willing to accept that my "gains" are not going to be readily visible at this time.

I have a lot of work to do to undo my last 18 months or so of life and I'm slowly finding a balance with work/life/gym. Cliffs on that is I have a 3 kids (10, 6, 13 months), just graduated college last yr, and am balancing full time work with full time work and a wife in school for nursing. Many bad meals have been eaten because it has been easy. I'm working to regain what I had been. My goal for this year is to end the year close to 230, currently at 275.

Yeah. I started reassessing about a yr ago. Since then I'm down about 10 lbs overall. Strength is way up, but I did get down to about 255 and have come back up since wife went back to school. I'm certainly happy to be back in the game and lifting regularly again.

Then 20 min of cardio on the elliptical. Freaking pump was crazy today. 2 caps of LCLT and my slintropin carb routine pre-workout had my arms and chest bursting today. It was awesome. Think I might like this little variation of routine.
 
So as slightly indicated above, I'm making a few small modifications to my routine. Going to stick with the basic power movements for strength, but am going to start supersetting work together to increase pace of workout to start hopefully shedding some weight while I work on strength.

Example:
-Power Movements- Warm-up, working, fail superset together with 1-2 min between superset (aiming for least rest possible)
-Accessory Movements - superset together, 30 sec to min rest between supersets (aiming for speed of workout here and increasing pump)
-Cardio to follow each workout

Hopefully this will leave me with the same time in the gym, but will help focus me more on shedding some of the weight I've been carrying. I'm going to be tinkering with diet as well to help dial that in as well.
 
Initial comments and thoughts on SDMZ 3.0:

Positives:
-It has been a quick hitting oral for me so far. I began feeling the effects maybe day 5.
-Feeling more focused/aggressive at the gym. I want to crush weight the whole time I'm there and have no desire to care about anything else going on.
- Recovery time definitely feels quickened. Both between sets and after workouts.
-Small increase in endurance for lifting so far. My prior experience with M-sten leads me to believe that this may continue to increase as the cycle goes on.

Negatives:
-Had a small bout of lowered blood pressure on Sat morning. Slightly dizzy in the morning, but passed as the day went. Had wife check my BP (she's halfway through LPN school) and it was 119/70 and with larger arms, I know the reading was artificially higher. Thus indicating that my BP was likely low. Seems like a one time deal as I have had zero issue since.
-Slight increase in appetite (this is negative for me as I'm not trying to eat more)
-I have had no back pumps to report as some as seemed to have experienced.
-No lethargy at this point
-No effect on libido at all so far

Initial impression is that this is a fantastic compound. I think it can be a very versatile compound and could pack some serious muscle on for people.

Nice to see a DMZ run with a different approach to the log leaning out and all. Weight ain't noth'n but a thang. It's all bout body compesition.
 
Due to new "issue" about work time with boss...I'm going to be splitting workouts up in order to reduce time spent at lunch in hopes of keeping boss conflict to minimum...


Today's AM Work:
Bench - WU(135, 165, 205x10,5,3), Working (240x6 (x4)), Fail (190x8) (1 min rest periods, fail set as dropset)
Incline Bench - 155x7 (x3) (1 min rest periods again)
Incline DB Fly - 40x10 (x3) (45 sec rest periods)
Decline Hammer Strength - 70x12 (x2), 80x12 (x2) (45 sec rest)
Cable Cross - 15x12 (low), 15x20 (high), 15x12 (low) (all done as 1 set)


Then 20 min on elliptical. From time I left house to time I returned, 1 hr and 5 min with roughly 5-7 min travel time. Close gym is close lol. Had a pretty solid pump this morning despite some lower rep ranges to start and training fasted with only my scoop of aminos and my scoop (2 servings) of black powder ultra.


To those that know me from other sites, you know that I've been following an IF style diet for quite a while now. However, if I'm returning to training twice a day, it kind of throws a wrench in that. So until further schedule changes, I will be returning to more of a standard diet. In this case, it will look similar to as follows:


Amino/pre shake
-workout
amino shake with post workout carb foods
-2 hrs later or so (around 10-11 am)
pre-load carbs for next workout
-12pm
amino shake with lclt
-post workout
post workout carbs and shake
-1 hr or so post workout (hopefully 2-3 ish)
lunch meal
-end of work
protein shake or high protein snack (this will be to ensure that I get something between 3 and whenever my dinner is
-6-7pm
dinner
-8-9 pm
nighttime protein shake or late night food sources (PB occasionally, yogurt maybe, glass of milk, etc)

I agree. I have no anger at my weight number right now...just at the results I see in the mirror. I let myself use excuses for far too long. That moment when you realize that you took the easy way instead of the correct way.

Preacher Curl DB -15x8 (x3) (alternating, no rest)


Superset a little abs into the middle for some light ab work. Added 15 min on the elliptical to cap everything off today. Pump made my biceps feel like they were balloons about to pop today.
 
PM Work:


CGBP - WU(155,185,205x10,5,3), Working (215x6 (x2), 225x6 (x2)), Fail (190x6) (1 min rest)
