Thread: Double T-Sports NO BETA workout log

Hey everyone,

This is where i will be logging my experiences with NO BETA.
I'm starting a new regime which i may alter slightly as time goes by but this is the 10 cycle i plan on doing:

Day 1: Legs
Day2: Cardio/rest
Day3: Chest/Triceps/Shoulders
Day4: Cardio/Conditioning
Day5: Back/Biceps
Day6:Rest
Day7: Legs/Shoulders
Day8: Chest/Triceps
Day9: rest
Day10: Back/Biceps

Concentrating very much on keeping my diet healthy and eating small meals every 2-3 hours.

Also i am starting to see a personal trainer as of tuesday next week, i plan on only having a few sessions to kick start me into a more serious workout/fitness regime.

I have also just started taking the bulk nutrients trib/sativa/fenugreek combo aswell as gaba/zma at night time.

other supps include:

glutamine
recoverx
whey protein
multivitamins
CLA (discontinuing after finished bottle)

Also have stopped taking creatine...i figure i will have enough of a strength boost from the other supps including NO BETA.

Day 1 24/2/2010

LEGS:

squats: 75kg - 8,8,8,6,6

leg extension: 65kg - 10,8,8

leg press: 220kg - 8,8,6

toe press:220kg - 8,10,10

calf raise: 90kg - 8. 80kg - 8,10,8,8,8

leg curl - 50kg- 8,7,4 (pooped)


Tablets taken immediatley before workout: 5

I noticed a greater drive than usual, allowing me to perform more reps than my usual 5 sets of 5-6 squats. The weight on each exercise was also increased by 5kg from my previous leg workout. all in all it was a pretty awesome workout. 8/10

It was interesting to note that i felt the beta alanine a lot once i hopped in the car to go home...my hands were tingling quite a bit however i didn't feel this during my workout, i'm guessing this may be normal as i haven't used a beta alanine product for quite a while.

Day 3 26/2/2010

Chest/Tris/Shoulders

Smih Machine bench press: 80kg - 7,6,6,5,4

Close grip bench press: 40kg - 8,10 50kg - 8

DB Flys: 12.5kg -10,10

Lat DB raises: 12.5kg - 8,8,8 10kg - 8

Dips: 7,5,5

Cable cross: 30kg - 10 35kg - 10,10

Smith machine shoulder press: 45kg - 8,8,8

Tri rope pulldown: 50kg - 10 55kg - 8,8

finished with tri rope pumps on low weight with high reps

Took 3 tabs of NO BETA upon rising then 4 before workout at 9:30am (had breakfast about 7:30)

was able to push out a few extra reps on the bench which i was happy about. felt the pump kicking in when i started to do the lat raises. had great pump in shoulders and chest which was definitely pronounced when i positioned myself for the shoulder presses.
i loved the drive that took over early mid workout, it was hard to keep myself from overtraining, but i managed to call it quits when it felt just right...although i could have easily pushed out a few more sets but figured will save it for next time as i do chest/shoulders/tris twice in my 10 day cycle.

great workout

Took 3 NO BETA upon rising then 5 before my workout. i wasn't in the best mood today but i still managed to pump myself up and push out a good workout. By the time i reached my second bicep exercise i definitely noticed a good pump.
I finished the workout with some HIIT and felt great afterwards, biceps were very sore. two thumbs up.

Hey mate, nice work on the log. Good weights aswell.

Is there a reason you split the tabs into 2 servings? Just wondering

Hey Jaiman,

yeh they say on the bottle you can take 3-6 in the morning upon rising (on an empty stomach) then 3-6 before your workout or just 3-6 before your workout. i've just been experimenting with both ways, will try just the one dose before training tomorrow and see how i go, however i think the reason for splitting the dosage may be for when you are working out later in the day, so you get the blood flowing with it first thing in the morning then kick it back in before training. however if you're training first thing in the morning or even just in the mid morning, one dose would be sufficient. the best workout so far has been my chest and tris (where i split the dosage), stay tuned for further reports. :)

interesting. personally it works great with 5 10 mins before, kicks in 2 sets in. I may try your way

Day 7: 2/3/2010

legs and shoulders

Squats - 58kg - 8 78kg - 6,6,6,7

DB front raise - 10kg - 10, 10 12kg - 5

Leg extension - 67.5kg - 8,8,8,8

Smith machine shoulder press - 50kg - 8,8,8,8

Calf raise - 40kg - 15 60kg - 20 80kg - 10,10,8

Upright barbell row - 38kg - 8,8,7

Took 6 No beta right before workout. i noticed a great drive to just go all out once i had warmed up, this was great and could very well be attributed to the No beta, test booster or pure adrenalin....or a mixture of all 3!. I finally worked out perfect squat technique and this was my first workout using the freeweight barbell for squats, although my range of motion is still quite low due to my large thighs and low flexibility, i plan on working on depth gradually as i progress.

I love smith machine overhead (shoulder) presses, i get so amped when i do them and have been steadily increasing my weight by 2.5 kilos every 1-2 weeks, although i may slow this down a bit to avoid any potential injuries.

I am also working closely on calves, as i think they look out of proportion on my body (too small), and i want them to be much bigger.

Didn't notice huuuge pump from this workout (probably because quite low volume) but i definitely noticed increased drive and concentration.

Day 8: 3/3/2010

chest and triceps

Smith machine bench press: 80kg x 5,5,5,5,4

Close grip bench press: 40kg x 10,8

Skullcrushers: 32.5kg x 8,8 35kg x 6,4

Pec deck: 40kg x 10,8,8,7

Incline smith machine press: 60kg x 5
" " " " " " (individual arms) : 20kg x 8

Tricep kickbacks: 15kg x 8,8 7.5kg x 20

dips (bodyweight) : 4,5,5

pushups x 15

Didn't have a spotter this time and i noticed the difference, reps were lower on dips and also struggled more on bench presses, but was still ultimately pleased with the flat bench press.

Took 6 No beta on an empty stomach at 12 midday. upon arrival i did 5 mins on the bike then 2 sets of close grip bench presses on light weight with high reps to warm up. i was pumped with my first 2-3 exercise but then i noticed a bit of shoulder fatigue, probably due to doing shoulders the day before this, making me think i should maybe make this another shoulders/chest/tris day and leave the previous day for legs/abs only.

pump was quite good, quite pleased with the overall result from today.

Really good workout today, took 6 No beta beforehand and completely tore it up in the gym. was pumping out slightly more reps (not aiming for high reps anyway) on heavier weights than usual. i felt a great pump especially on all bicep exercises and bent over barbell row.

I've found a great pump after bicep and triceps work.

Good log, keep it up.

Thanks Rajah,

i'm thinking about upping the dosage a bit, see how we go.

I've just been taking the 6 for now. Tonight is arms so I may take 7 or so and see how I go. Only problem is I cooked an awesome dinner and I'm stuffed at the moment. After digesting for a couple of hours I'll see how I go.

day 14: 9/3/2010

i still did day 12 (legs) but didn't take any No beta or recover x, and im still feeling DOMS in my quads and glutes today!

Chest/triceps/shoulders

Incorporated this workout into my PT session this morning so was very amped to go all out. took 6 no beta 15 mins prior to training. I had a protein shake upon rising to stave off catabolism, took recover x during workout and had another shake after followed by homemade baked beans.

Bench press (free bar) 60kg x 10, 80kg x 8,7,4

DB flys - 12.5kg x 11, 15kg x 11,10

Upright row -(EZ bar) - 30kg x 10,10,10

DB overhead press - 12.5kg DBs x 10,10,10

Bench press matrix sets - flat - 20kg x 40, incline - 25kg x 40, 40

No beta feedback:

i really noticed good pump in my tris after the first 2 sets of tri exercises, the swelling and tightness was accompanied by a painful but satisfying burn. when doing stretched at the end i notice my shoulders and upper pecs were alot more pronounced than usual.
awesome workout!!!

day 16: 11/3/2010

back and biceps

Deadlifts: 100kg - 5 x 5

DB concentration curls (preacher bench): 15kg - 1 x 10 ; 2 x 8

DB rows: 37.5kg - 1 x 7 ; 1 x 6 ; 1 x 5

EZ bar 21s: 25kg + bar - 3 x 21

Wide grip seated cable row: 40kg - 1 x 10 ; 70kg - 3 x 8

Took 6 No beta 15 mins before workout. Felt good and focused doing my deadlifts which was awesome because i was able to perfect my technique. Man did i notice an awesome pump after the last set of DB curls, which amped me up to do 21s and maximise it!. All other back exercises were nice and controlled. i'm becoming quite a fan of the wide grip row, gives me great DOMS in my upper middle back so i know it's working well. i've notice veins are starting to show on my biceps which is great, not sticking out yet though, can just see them underneath the skin...this gives me all the more motivation to really work hard towards my fat loss goals.
