MyOatmeal Review

COOKIE MONSTER OATS

Hey guys, it’s been a while since my last blog. I’ve been busy with schooling and working. But I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to try MyOatmeal and review three different flavors. I’ll be reviewing each of these right here on my blog. You have the option of ordering small bags (1lb), medium bags (2.25 lbs), and jumbo bags (4 lbs). Without further ado, let’s get started with the review of my first oatmeal.

If you’re like me, then oatmeal is a staple in your diet – being a complex carbohydrate.  After a while, some of the combinations of flavors like honey, peanut butter, cinnamon, etc. get old and boring.  I heard about MyOatmeal which is a company that allows you to create and customize your own flavors.  There’s over 22 billion different combinations at Myoatmeal.com.  I’ll go through and list the different categories and the options that I chose!

Choose Your Oats:
You can pick different types of oats as follows…

Quick Rolled Instant Oats  +$2.99
5 Grain Rolled Oats & Flax  +$3.99
Steel Cut Whole Oats  +$3.99
Signature Smash Blend  +$3.99
Gluten Free Quick Oats  +$4.99
Organic, Gluten Free, Thick Rolled Oats  +$5.99

I picked the Quick Rolled Instant Oats since I like to eat my oatmeal in the morning when I am restricted on time.  I like to just microwave my oatmeal, since it’s easier clean up and the process is much more simple.  The oats themselves taste delicious, and are the smaller oats which I prefer.  Of course if you have any intolerance to gluten or just want the organic, steel cut, oats, then that option is also offered!

Time for Some Flavor!
You can add up to three different flavors, each costing $1.50.  There are a large amount of flavors that you can add – about 40 different flavors!

With this bag of oats, I decided to choose Cookie Dough, Sugar Cookie, and Snickerdoodle flavoring. Let’s just say I was NOT disappointed by this whatsoever. . Also, check out the crazy selection of flavors by visiting the website, www.myoatmeal.com.

The flavorings that I choose were AMAZING.  Honestly, I normally have to basically choke down my oatmeal with honey or peanut butter. But after I smelled my Cookie Monster Oats after they finished cooking, I knew it was love at first smell! But in all seriousness, I ate 80 grams (2 servings) of these oats and I instantly craved more.  It literally tasted like I had mixed together some cookie dough and was about it cook it – but it made me feel like I was eating sugar cookie dough.  Definitely not disappointed with the flavorings at all.  Also, I forced my mother to try the oats (who doesn’t normally like oatmeal at all) and was impressed by the flavoring and even asked for more.  The Cookie Monster Oats are even mother approved.

Pick Your Fruits:
After picking the flavors, you want to pick the fruits that you want in your customized oatmeal.  I’ll give you a range of what they offer (if you want to see the full list, just like the flavors, please visit the myoatmeal.com website).  They offer apples to banana chips, currants to figs, mangos to blue berries, and even more.  Keep in mind that the fruit you pick also has options of the amount put into your oatmeal mix – light, regular, and heavy.  I chose the blueberries and put them in as light dosing.  I was surprised when I opened my bag and saw that I had a large amount in there – so there are not stingy on dosing!  Next time, I’m going to do the heavy dosing since I know that they are fair when it comes to the fruits.

Let’s Sweeten the Deal!
This is recommended if you added the flavoring, options are – Brown Cane Sugar, White Cane Juice Crystals, or Sucralose.  I picked the White Can Juice Crystals, and it really makes the oatmeal taste sweet.  It was a fantastic combination with the cookie flavorings that I had picked.  When I first got the bag, I just had to shake it up a bit  for the flavorings and the white cane juice crystals to thoroughly mix, but the oatmeal probably settled during shipment.  And regardless, that isn’t an issue.

Nuts, Seeds & More
This gives you the option to add in any type of nuts and seeds.  There’s many different options for single options. For example, you can get flax seeds ground up or whole flax seeds. For this option, I picked hemp seeds and quinoa flakes.  Both being extremely beneficial in micronutrients and healthy for a wide range of reasons.

Overall, I would give the Cookie Monster Oats a huge thumbs up! I enjoyed a cup of healthy oatmeal, feeling like I was eating cookie dough. Myoatmeal is going to be extremely helpful this winter when I am trying to bulk. I wasn’t even full after my cup of oatmeal since it was so delicious, and craved more.  Just so you guys know, there is also a full nutrition panel on the back of your customized oatmeal.  For the guys out there who track their macros, do flexible dieting or IIFYM, then this can be great for you.  You can create a customized oatmeal that fits your certain guidelines when it comes to macronutrients.  I absolutely love this brand and I certainly am excited to have the opportunity to work with them! You can also have certain bags shipped out more than once, so you can pick to have it shipped once a week, twice a month, and so on. A huge shout out to http://www.MyOatmeal.com and please go check them out and try a bag!  I’m going to be utilizing this simple yet effective way to consume my oatmeal from now on.  Thanks for listening guys!

EnergyCare USA Products

Lucky enough, I received an EnergyCare USA bracelet and an EnergyCare USA dream pillow. In this blog post, I will be reviewing the EnergyCare USA bracelet, and saving the dream pillow for the next review. First off, I had a small size ordered for me which should fit a 6 1/2 inch wrist (which is what I have), but if you are on the borderline like I am, then go for the size higher. It fits very snug, I don’t have an issue with it, but some people might.

ENERGY – You should not be expecting a sufficient energy boost or anything along those lines just by wearing this bracelet. I just want to say this: since I have been weight training with this bracelet, ALL of my lifts have continuously gone up. I don’t know if this is just a coincidence, or my strength, flexibility, energy actually has been increased. There is no research to back up any of the claims made by EnergyCare USA, but they are currently conducting research in USA and Brazil. Either way, whether I am being affected by the placebo effect or if the science behind this really does exist, it’s definitiely worth it.

SLEEP – This is what has made me a true believer. I sleep SOLID, and continuously throughout the entire night. I dream like crazy, vivid dreams. It’s almost like a second life now. The biggest thing is that I can get six hours of sleep and feel like I’m ready to go at any time. Once again, since there is no research backing it up, I have a notion that it could all be in my head (placebo effect), but regardless, if a placebo effect will allow you to sleep this DEEP, then I think it’s really worth the money. Absolutely blew me away the first couple of nights of solid sleep.

Overall, the EnergyCare USA bracelet is definitely worth what they are asking for it. Plus it looks cool right? Probably one of the coolest bracelets out there. They do offer more colors than just the white one I have shown you. Also, the white one is starting to discolor sadly – pick a color that won’t fade and discolor! Everyone always asks me where they can get one. ENERGYCAREUSA.COM. Any questions, feel free to email me at adamneth@rocketmail.com or follow me on twitter @adamneth. Thanks for reading!

Developing the Chest

Pre-Workout:
45 minutes before I consumed 1 scoop of 100% Gold Standard Whey Mocha Capp. It was delicious, you cannot go wrong with ON supplements. 15 minutes before I downed 2 Scoops of Scivation Novem Pre Workout. And since I received free samples from ON, I sipped Amin.o. Energy throughout my workout, supplying me with 10 grams of Amino Acids! I felt great!!

Chest Workout:

Incline Barbell Bench Press:
20 x 45 lbs
12 x 95 lbs
5 x 135 lbs
5 x 170 lbs
5 x 180 lbs
5 x 190 lbs

Pull-Ups Varied Grip:
1. 22 Medium grip
2. Close reverse grip
3. Neutral grip
4. Wide grip
Note: Performed as many reps as I could possibly do. I threw pull-ups in because on Saturday I have a pull-up competition. If any of you go to the Dayton Air Show, they have pull-up stations where you can win t-shirts and what not.

Dumbell Flat Bench Press:
10 x 70 lbs
8 x 80 lbs
6 x 95 lbs

Hammer Machine Bench Press:
10 x 45 lbs each side
6 x 90 lbs each side
6 x 125 lbs each side
6 x 135 lbs each side
Note: Focus on the contraction at the top, but still trying to push some heavy weight around. Trying to get stronger, so my rep range can increase, thus increasing hypertrophy.

Pec Dec Machine:
10 x 50 lbs
8 x 100 lbs
8 x 120 lbs
6 x 130 lbs – 6 x 90 lbs – 8 x 50 lbs – Drop set.
Note: Really felt this one, my pecs were burning and felt cramped at the end of each set. Really pushed through and accomplished good things on this today.

Lower Chest Cable Flyes:
10 x 50 lbs
8 x 60 lbs
8 x 65 lbs

Performed as a superset
Dips: Overhead Rope Extensions (Triceps):
10 x 50 lbs hanging 15 x 70 lbs
8 x 50 lbs hanging 12 x 80 lbs
15 x bodyweight 8 x 90 lbs (Performed this 3x)
Note: Triceps were pumped, even though it was their first real working set the whole workout. My idea is that I pound my chest heavy and hard on Monday, and barely hit my triceps. My triceps will grow back stronger and faster, since they weren’t demolished early in the week.

Abdominal Session:

Hanging Leg Raises X Cable Crunches with Rope: 3 supersets
Did as many leg raises as I could each set, and for the cable crunches I had the rope at 90 lbs and performed 15 reps.

Legs on Ball, Hands on Ground X Russian Twist: 3 supersets
Performed 12 reps on the ball rolls, and then over 20 reps on the twists each set.

Frog Crunches X Flutter Kicks (Both performed on Bench): 2 supersets
Frog Crunches 15 reps each set, and flutter kicks until I died out.

Dumbbell Pullover:
10 x 60 lbs
12 x 50 lbs
12 x 50 lbs
14 x 40 lbs
Note: I threw this into the abdominal session because I love the feel of it right at the end of an abs session. Feeling my serratus muscles squeeze and contract along with my chest. I love doing these, and I did a different rep scheme than the rest of the work out.

While trying to gain weight, I’m maintaining a lean physique and I’m pretty satisfied with my results!
