Hello again, David Hardy, LG Sciences sponsored Athlete.  Well, it’s all coming to an end for me…the competitive season for 2010 that is!  I am both relieved and saddened that it is all going to be over with on Saturday.  It has been a lot of fun, but there has been a lot of suck ass in there as well.  I would like to take the time to place my final review on a few LG Sciences products that I used over the past 6 weeks to help me get into the best shape of my life.  Here they are in no particular order:

1- Lipotropic Protein:  I really like the flavor of the vanilla; the chocolate isn’t bad at all, but the vanilla is simply amazing.  I like this blend of proteins for any time of the year, offseason or precontest.  I was able to use this product while on a ketogenic diet with not problem, and it’s hard to find a great tasting protein with minimal carbs.  I give it an 8 out of 10.

2- BC&EAA:  Absolutely love this product!  Amino acids are so important to the dieting bodybuilder!  I like the fact that it’s L-Leucine content is higher than the typical 2:1:1 ratio and it also has glutamine in it to aid recovery that much more.  I personally took it as soon as I woke up, right before my morning cardio session, and during my workout, before my other cardio session.  I give this product a solid 10 out of 10!

3- Speed V2:  Great fatburner in my opinion.  I didn’t get any crazy surges and crashes like I have gotten from a few other fat burners on the market.  My fat loss had stalled a tad, but when I added this supplement into my arsenal, it picked right back up.  I am now in my best shape ever, and this product deserves partial credit for it.  I give it an 8 out of 10.

4- E-911:  Wow!  I would take this stuff during the day when I needed a boost, and it delivered!  It wasn’t like an energy drink where you go crazy for an hour or so then come back down harder than before, but it gave me smooth, sustained energy for a good 2 hours.  After I felt it wearing off, it didn’t leave me in the dump either, so that was a big plus.  I would take these before my cardio session and before I knew it, it was time to go shower and get ready for work.  Personally, I think it tastes awful, so I’ll rate it a 9.5 out of 10.

5- T-911.  I didn’t start taking this product until after my 1st show, so I only took it for about a week and a half.  The reason that I started it was that my strength was starting to decline somewhat.  I was doing more of a high rep style training between shows and I just couldn’t keep up.  This product all but eliminated that problem.  I noticed an immediate boost in my strength after taking it.  It also worked wonders for my sex drive, which had been gone for a few weeks.  I did notice that it I took it too close to going to sleep, that I would fall asleep, but wake up about an hour later wide awake for at least an hour.  I simply stopped taking it so loate, and that problem went away.  I rate this product a 9 out of 10.

Well that is it for the products that I took during my prep, but I cannot wait to try the others that are geared toward the offseason.

Until next time,

Hello everyone, David Hardy, LG Sciences Sponsored Athlete again.  I hear it all the time from my buddies, and I’m sure you do too; "I bet your girl can’t keep her hands off of you"…I’m three weeks out from a show and you can see every muscle in my body, a young woman’s dream right?  Maybe so, but it doesn’t do you any good if you HAVE NO SEX DRIVE!  You know exactly what I’m talking about; at the end of the day, you’re so damn worn out from all of the training and posing and low calories that sex is the last thing on your mind.  I mean you’d love to, but you just don’t want to.  "He" just sits there unresponsive and your unwanted abstinence last yet another day.  Enter T-911, a great product from LG Sciences.  I had absolutely zero sex drive for the last 3 weeks of my prep into the NGA Florida Championships.  Now, after the show, with another one in just 10 days, my sex drive is the same as it was 10 weeks out!  I incorporated the T-911 into my supplementation to try and hold as much size as I killed myself coming into the Mt Rogers and to my surprise, my sex drive is back and in full force!  I haven’t changed anything else; calories are still minuscule and the training is still grueling.  I owe it all to this amazing product from LG Sciences!  So, if you and your partner are suffering from the pre-contest blues of no action, get your hands on this product and you will find yourself back in the game in no time!  Thanks LG Sciences!

Hi everyone, David Hardy, LG Sciences Sponsored Athlete.  How many times have you just wanted a damn cookie throughout your contest prep?  I don’t really even eat cookies that often, but the other day when my girlfriend baked some, the smell was just too much for me.  Instead of breaking my diet and eating her freshly baked, amazing smelling oatmeal/cinnamon/raisin/honey cookies, I decided to venture out and give this a try.  These cookies were a little dry, but they did the trick and satisfied me, delivering a whopping 40 grams of protein, 13 grams of good fat, and just 4 carbs!  Here’s what I did:

1.5 scoops LG Sciences Lipotropic Vanilla Powder

1 egg white

Cinnamon to taste

Stevia packet

1/2 ounce crushed pecans

Mix it all up and put it on a piece of parchment paper over a pan and slap it in the oven on 350 for 8 minuets and enjoy!

If you find that it’s a little thick, just add a few drops of water, or if you want some more good fat, add a tsp of olive oil and make it 18 grams of fat and it will also be a little more moist.

These are a Godsend to the dieting bodybuilder, but don’t take my word as the gospel, give them a try for yourself; you will not be disappointed.

Simlpy put, this stuff is great for an energy boost whenever you need it! Sometimes throughout the day, I can get extremly low on energy and need an extra jolt, but then again, I don’t want to be going crazy for hours on end and then crash and I don’t have time to brew and drink coffee. I just pop an E-911 in my mouth and chew it up and within about 5 min, I have amazing energy for the next couple of hours. There is no huge rush, but it is more of a smooth energy surge that keeps you going and doesn’t leave you crashed later. Also, taken before early morning cardio makes the session seem effortless. With right at 200 mg of stims a pill, it sure beats the hell out of drinking an energy drink with over 2 grams of stims and a ton of sugar! Get a bottle of your own for under 30 bucks here: http://www.lgsciences.com/Nitric-Oxi…ences-s/25.htm

75 pills will go a long way and you will not regret this purchase.

Wow, a vanilla protein that actually has a great vanilla flavor! It isn’t overly sweetened and actually possesses a strong vanila flavor to it that isn’t found in many powders out there. I have not tried the Species vanilla, but the LG Sciences Lipotropic blows the ***********, ON, and Vitamin shoppe brands out of the water when it comes down to flavor. It has a slightly undesirable aftertaste to it, but it’s nothing that a piece of your favorite sugar free gum can’t clear right up. The mixability isn’t an issue with this particular protein either, so there are no nasty clumps that would be expected from a protein blend that has casein in it. I have also not noticed any bloating when using this product. Don’t just take my word for it, get your own and try it out:

Hello once again.  I am David Hardy, an LG Sciences Sponsored Athlete and NGA competitor.  If you are anything like me, then you absolutely loath waking up in the morning and jumping on the damn stepper, elliptical, treadmill, bike, or anything that doesn’t remotely resemble the kitchen table!  Well, get ready to put your hand down, because LG Sciences has came through yet again and made this once daunting task much easier to the athlete.  Introduce yourself to two of your newest best friends; BC&EAA and E-911.  This morning I was dreading waking up at freakin 0430 and jumping on the stepper by 0445.  I rolled out of bed, strolled into the kitchen and said, you know what, I’ll give this a shot.  After all, cardio done fasted is catabolic versus cardio done with some aminos floating around in the blood stream to spare muscle.  So, I ingested a serving of the amazing tasting Kiwi-Strawberry and chewed up an E-911 and off to the stepper I went.  Within 5 minuets, I was feeling the E-911.  That is one amazing product!  It got me through the cardio session almost effortlessly!  Before I knew it, it was time to chug a Lipotropic shake, take a shower and head to work.  The E-911 didn’t make me all jittery like some of the other products out there that I’ve taken in the past, but instead it was and has been a smooth boost since I chewed up the tablet 2 hours ago.  Thanks LGS for these two amazing products that no longer have me dreading early morning cardio!

What is the point of training???  The point of training is to beat yourself each time out!  To keep pushing yourself beyond human limitations and force your body into new growth!  To get in there and lift poundages that any "normal" guy only dreams about.  The point is to ACTUALLY look like your idols rather than DREAM about it!  There is no possible way that you can reach your full potential by just simply going to the gym and doing a cookie cutter routine and calling it a day!  You must push yourself beyond your limitations each day that you step foot through the doors of the BATTLE ZONE!  Get in there and declare WAR with the iron!  If you did a 500 single on the deadlift last time out, you better not even THINK about leaving that gym until you pull that weight twice or add an extra ten pounds!  After all, IT’S JUST A FREAKIN NUMBER!  IT’S ALL IN YOUR HEAD!  Put some HEAVY ASS weight on the bar, walk up to it with the best song Slayer has to offer, take your grip, look yourself dead in the eye and tell yourself….PUT UP OR SHUT UP!  Ignite your inner fire and make each muscle fiber in your body work in unison and GET THAT DAMN WEIGHT UP!  Envision yourself on that stage standing there with just one other person awaiting the results.  Did you give it your all?  If you can answer this question with a FIRM yes, then nothing can stand in your way of your utmost potential.   Leave NOTHING on the battlefield the next time that you wage war with the iron!  Leave no doubt in your quest to become a champion! Now walk your asses through the doors of your local gym and SHUT UP the mocking glares of the iron and PUT UP SOME WEIGHT!!!

I am very grateful to my newly acquired sponsor LG Sciences!  This is my first sponsor and I cannot wait to start taking their products.  I am going to be using the Lipotropic protein, BC&EAA, V2, and E-911 for the last 3 weeks of my prep.  I am currently prepping for the NGA Florida championships November 7th.  I am really needing something to help me with my energy in the gym and I think that the E-911 is just what I’ve been looking for there.  I also think that the BC&EAA taken in during training will keep me anti-catabolic during my final weeks which is crutial at this time.  Also, I am needing to strip away just the little bit of stubborn fat that I have left on my body and the V2 will definately help me with this.  If I win the show on the 7th, I will be doing one more show two weeks later in Virginia and hopefully I can do well in that show too.  I must do well in my first show to qualify for the second though, so I will be pulling out all the stops these next 4 weeks and try to bring a win to the stage for Team LG Sciences in Coral Springs, FL on the 7th of November.  These products will be a tremendous help to me along the way.  Once I start taking them, I will continue to blog about their use to include likes/dislikes of each product.  Later guys.

I was thinking about trying out some prohormones, but I am having a hard time deciding between Mass FX, Hyperdrol X2, and Methyl Masterdrol.  I am planning on following up a 6-8 week trial of either of the two with Ergopharm’s 6-OXO for 6 weeks.  I am not stuck on those two brands, but it seems to be what everyone uses that I talk to.  I took Hyperdrol and Mass FX about 1 1/2 years ago, but my diet wasn’t as good as it is now, and I didn’t use any PCT.  I noticed the aggression and some really good workouts at the time, but like I said, my diet wasn’t the greatest, so my gains were minimal.  I’m not usually really big into supplements, I just eat a lot, so I’m ignorant on the subject. 

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
