Adding a lil update to this since today it was the first time
I've actually been able to test Recompadrol on a refeed and I think
it deserves to be reported.
I decided to go for clean carbs for my refeed for two reasons,
first, we all know a refeed based on carbs (as opposed to fats and protein) is
better at boosting leptin and my metabolism needs that badly 'cause of my very
strict diet, second because I've never been able to eat more than 70gr of carbs a day
in the last 4 years without having stomach problems and I wanted to see if Recompadrol
was helping with that.
Chest day today, workout was "to oblivion" (btw Lit-Up/E-bol still kicking a## as day 1, incredible combo)
For this refeed I went for a simple thing (i didn't want to add variables): fat free oats&whey pancakes.
I made 5 big pancakes which have 100gr of oats in them (total not each) , the rest of my food is the same
as every other wo day but I will consume some more greek yogurt w/whey and most likely
some more clean carbs because.. well because Recompadrol worked very well.
I took 2cps 25 minutes my first meal and I had a - for me - big meal consisting
of 80gr of chicken, 50gr of fat free cottage cheese, some fat free mayo and a low fat cheese slice,
then two oats pancakes with just a bit of sugar free jelly, some greek yogurt w/whey and a bite
of my cappuccino home made protein bar.
Not only I didn't feel bad (ONE pancake like that was usually enough for me to feel like hell)
but I actually felt very good, AND I passed out for two hours after it lol.. I know this is because
I'm very insulin sensitive - which is good - and I actually like it when it happens (that's why i refeed on sunday..)
it tells me it's working.
My muscles feel full and tight and I have lotsa energy.
Second meal was the same but with a whey cinnamon roll added to the meal, still feeling great and this time
no crash/passing out.
I will have two more meals before the day is over, calories are gonna be roughly +300/400 more than
the normal day, and since I'm not feeling bad eating with Recompadrol I think I will try to push it a bit more
and maybe try to have another 20/40gr of clean carbs before the end of the day.
Next week, I will try it with a fat based refeed,
but so far here's my take on Recompadrol:
You need to eat with this to make it work. My meals are very lil usually, they very rarely exceed 400 cals,
no carbs and mostly protein (like 70%).
With my BF Recompadrol doesn't really seem to have a big effect on food, but it acts as a fat burner
(i mean, working out with my intensity while being in a cal deficit there's not much effect to be expected
on that lil food..) but if you eat that's where Recompadrol really shines.
2cps, decent (not even big, just normal lol, is big only for me) meal and there you have it!
I kept taking it pre-bed and in between meals these days and my cuts got even deeper,
I got bigger (will get the weight soon but size is noticeably increased, full body) and fat is - if anything - less
Still I don't get vascularity with Recompadrol which has been explained in some earlier posts, but that doesn't really matter, is more a psychological thing.
So this is my take on the two more talked-about GDAs, Recomp and Glyco:
I will keep using both, Recompadrol at night and for refeed days, Glycobol for my minimeals
during the weeks, this way I will get the best of both, Na-rala on one side (this way even the rumors
about fat storing if spilling would not happening) and Recompadrol with its several good ingredients
when eating more and as straight fat burner.
We'll see then how it works with fat based refeed next time, but this is definitely gonna be a personal
preference, I wanna see if a carb refeed works better or worse on ME than a fat&protein refeed.
I will monitor my BF this next week to see if there's any effect on my BF after this refeed,
that's gonna be important to check
One thing is nice tho', being able to use Recompadrol with fats makes it very versatile and useful for sanity
as I'm not a big fan of carbs, plus so far is the only thing that allowed me to actually EAT carbs without
getting bloated and/or feeling bad.
On the other hand, I like Glycobol food pumps and the fact that I can feel it and get vascularity even
just with a chicken sandwich.
Two amazing products that most likely will always be on my sup shelf.
Will update this again soon with weight and new PR (they will come I'm still going up with weights),
workouts are going great, bad mood is gone away (might really have been the
missing refeed on that week), effects of Lit-Up and E-bol give no sign of wearing out, still there, still strong,
I wish I didn't have to cycle these off ever.
