Alright, been over a month on this log so I will go ahead with the final reviews of the Muscle Marinade and the D-Pol. Probably won't continue this stack for the remaining 15 days or so left from the two second tubs. If I do continue to use them, it will not be alone, it will be with the bulk cycle I am starting.
MUSCLE MARINADE
Flavor: Not bad but not real good either. At first I had issues toying with the amount of water for 1 scoop but got that worked out. Tried two flavors, the Fresh Fruit and the Cherry Limeade. The Cherry Limeade is definitely better!
Miaxability: This was not too bad considering there are amino acids in here. A little sediment left at the bottom but an extra shake of the cup would get it before the last drink.
Energy: Started out very nice but then I think my body got used to it. Still had good energy but not great.
Endurance: This is not a strong point of this product for me. While the amino acids do help with recovery, I didn't notice much in endurance.
Summary: MM is a good pre for some but for me, there are others that I would use over it. The idea of using amino acids in a pre was intriguing to me but after trying it, I would prefer to have them separate. The stimulant profile didn't seem to agree with me too much. Using it every workout for 3-5 days in a row was not good as it started to give me some bad head pressure. Haven't had that issue with other pre's stimulants so it was a surprise to me that I had an issue with MM! I will not be purchasing this product again.
D-POL
Flavor: While some solid pill supplements have a nasty taste, this didn't. No problems here!
Pump: At first, it was not much more than normal but after a week or so of solid use, it got better. There were a few days that I got some nice pumps sporadicly throughout the day. Not often though.
Strength: I did get some new PRs while on this but as I've stated before, I can't attribute all of that to the DAA in the D-Pol. It did help tthough.
Libido: I normally have a high libido but did notice an increase for a while. It then dropped down below normal for about a week but then was back to normal.
Summary: This is also a product that didn't just really impress me. I was really looking forward to having some great pumps and a nice increase in test but neither was very impressive. I know others enjoy this product very much but for me, it didn't do much. I wish it had but the price vs the productivity of it is not good for me. This is another product I won't be purchasing again.
After seeing the results others had with this stack, I was excited to give it a try and I thank Purus and Grambo for the initial opportunity! Unfortunately, I didn't have the same results as others so I can't say that I really liked this stack. It was not a bad stack because I did get some results just not enough for me to justify purchasing them again. Thank you again to Purus, Grambo and Aaron for this run and sorry that I am unable to give a better review.
