So far 5 is really nice for me. I may try 6 some day but for now 5 is doing me really well. It is a little hard to rate against each other with the fact I was doing different workouts and eating differently. However I will do my best with a few of them. On one or two of them to give a good comparison i may need try them on this slower light weight workout.
Anadraulic Pump / Hemodraulix - It is hard to compare the two as Hemo does not offer any energy and I was on a lower carb diet when using it. However pump-wise at this point they feel very close. Hemodraulix got better as I went along and so far so is the AP so if that continues I think we may see AP pulling out ahead of Hemodraulix regarding pump. Obviously it wins in the energy department hands down.
Anadraulic Pump / White Flood - Anadraulic Pump has this one hands down. No comparison in my eyes.
Anadraulic Pump / NO Xplode - are these even in the same category? No comparison....
Anadraulic Pump / SuperPump250 - Honestly I used to love SP250 it was my favorite for a while. However it was the freight train energy that I loved even more than the pump. What I didn't like was the crash that followed. Well the energy from AP is great, nice smooth and consistent, it does not hit like a mack truck nor drop off quickly. As far as the pump goes AP definitely has SP250 beat for me.
Anadraulic Pump / Vasocharge - I dont think a lot of people have used Vasocharge but it is a great product. I got great pumps and tons of energy from it however I feel Anadraulic Pump is still a better product at a much better price.
Anadraulic Pump / Black Powder - Although I liked Black Powder I like the energy better from AP and the pump definitely is superior.
Anadraulic Pump / Jack3d - Honestly for me these two are the best that I have used so far with Vasocharge and Hemo tieing for the next spot. I would be hard pressed to choose one of these over the other. On one hand I love the feeling of Jack3d, the high levels of BA in it just make me "Feel" the rush. Energy for me is a little higher on Jack3d. Anadraulic Pump is a very smooth intense constant energy also. Of course they come from the same ingredient so the similiarities there make sense. However when it comes to Pump they are pretty close. I think this is another one I may need to revisit later. I think I will try one dose of Jack3d with this lower intensity workout to compare the 2 better. I didn't do any light weight slow reps type of lifting on Jack3d and it may very well have been the intensity of the lifting making me feel I had more energy with Jack3d. However other than that from what I am seeing the pumps are comparible at this point. The feel of the pump is just different due to the BA. Now I think if I tossed in a tad of bulk BA in with my Anadraulic Pump I may be in heaven. I have become a BA junkie... what can I say. We will revisit this one later also after I go ahead and kill one good intense workout on AP, just full force it then take some ibuprofen and chill. I know my elbow can handle that. So I will have to do that and see just how intense AP can be if I PUT MYSELF in intense mode. Lets be honest right now I am holding back a little for safety but we can squeeze out one hardcore lift day just to seee if that is a mental situation. Here comes the test. Saturday I will go balls to the wall hardcore on upper body and see how well AP handles that intensity. I honestly think it will bump itself up a notch.
Sorry for the lengthy explaination. Just trying to be as fair as possible to the product. I think my forced low intensity level is keying down some of the intensity available from this product. We shall have our answer Saturday.
That is why there hasn't been much going on in here, I have gotten boring haven't I?
You may not have meant it that way but honestly I am a little Blah from not being able to be me in the gym. I am also kind of suffering a loss due to not doing the show. I guess I am in mourning. It really takes a lot of mental and emotional commitment to choose to do a competition. Then having to stop the prep and what not there is actually a void there. I feel like a Warrior without a battle. Kind of like Major Payne, "Got to be somebody who needs some killin." No Major you have killed them all.
I think Saturdays planned intensity will pick my spirits up.
