The “Test” Test: Day 3
There’s nothing particularly interesting to report right now: John just started his new workout routine yesterday. The Hybrid routine he’s doing uses a basic lower/upper body split, that alternates between a heavy, core 5 x 5 or 6 x 6 phase, and a hypertrophy phase with higher volume and reps in the 8 – 12 range . The schedule looks like this:
- Lower body (quads/hams) 5 x 5
- Upper body (chest/back) 5 x 5
- Cardio
- Lower body hypertrophy (quads/hams/calves)
- Upper body hypertrophy (chest/back/shoulders/biceps/triceps)
- Cardio
- Off
So we’re not expecting to see any miracles in the gym this week, as we’re establishing a baseline for his workouts.
As I posted earlier, he’s taking iSatori’s IsaTest. There are a fair number of these herbal testosterone boosters on the market, so choosing one to put to the test wasn’t easy. But iSatori is a good company that puts out some high-quality products – and after looking at the ingredients, we figured if this one didn’t work, then it’s not too likely that any of the others would either. This is what’s in it:
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCl) 7mg
Vitamin C 25mg
Zinc (As Zinc Aspartate) 20mg
Magnesium (As Magnesium Aspartate) 300mg
Isa-Test™, A Proprietary Blend Containing: 1.61g
TESTOFEN™ (Trigonella Foenum Graecum Extract Standardized For 50% Fenuside™ Saponins)
Tribulus Terrestris Extract (60% Total Saponins / 20% Protodioscin)
Eurycoma Longifolia 20:1 Extract [(Longjax™) 20% Eurypeptides]
Epimedium Brevicornum Extract (Standardized For 10% Icariin)
P-450™ Anti-Aromatase [(S)-2,3-Dihydro-5,7-Dihydroxy-2-(3-Hydroxy-4-Methoxyphenyl)-4-H-1benzopy-Ran-4-One]
Ajuga Turkestanica & Rhaponticum Carthamoides Root Extract (Standardized For 11,20 Dihydroxyecdysone, 20-Beta-Hydroxyecdysone And 25-Deoxy-20- Hydroxyecdysone)
Grapeseed Extract (95% Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins)
Isaflow™, 100mg
Microcirculation/nutrient Delivery System [Specially Prepared Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, Ruscus (22% Sterolic Heterosides) & Vitamin C Complex]
I’ll be discussing the ingredients in detail over the next few days.
