The boys over at Genomyx are starting to get hammered with questions as these summer months approach(glad you guys know where to look
) and although we love that you guys are coming to us I figured a larger post on the subject would help you guys a lot more. I'm talking specifically in regards to our topicals
Abliderate Advanced and
Eviscerate(Smolder & OG).
What are they, like really, how do I know which one to try?
Let me preface the answer with an explanation of body fat. We have two types of fat in the body, gynoid(lower) and android fat(central). The android fat being the concern of most of us here, is also made of two parts VAT and SAT. VAT, or visceral adipose tissue, is located in between your organs, under the musculature of the abdomen. SAT, or subcutaneous adipose tissue is located just below the skin, above the abdominal musculature. Most people tend to have a solid mix of both but they're many variances.
A large amount of VAT within the core will lead to a protruded belly and this can easily kill a built physique. An easy way to tell if you have a good but if VAT is to turn side ways in the mirror, if your gut is extended further than your chest you likely store a good bit of VAT. You can also measure your waistline an inch or two above your belly button where SAT is much less of a factor compared to VAT in circumference and if you're >34" in waistline you likely store a good bit of VAT(really depends on genetics somewhat too here, I'm making very broad generalizations). For SAT it will likely be much more obvious of how much you're storing based on the definition you hold.
I tend to recommend Abliderate Advanced at the higher body fat percentages for this specific reason. You'll likely have plenty of VAT of to get rid of and will profit greatly from getting rid of it in terms of aesthetics. Specifically referencing how you would look in a shirt would change quickly by bringing the gut in by lowering VAT %. Once you get to the lower BF percentages like 12-13% then I tend to recommend people should ask themselves if they still have some VAT to lose and maybe do one run with Abliderate Advanced to make sure it won't be an issue once they do lean out. If you're really confident SAT is your only issue then Eviscerate should be your go to.
Key Notes
*Abliderate Advanced->Helps cut VAT
*Eviscerate(Smolder & OG)->Helps cut SAT
*Green is SAT, Red is VAT
Another thing I really like doing with Eviscerate Smolder(I like the Aloe extract in it as it helps fade the bruising from my weight belt after leg day) is applying it before training to whatever body part I'm training, like chest/arms before upper power. Myself and many others included notice a huge pump when applied prior to training, its honestly very surprising the first time. Its also simultaneously brought definition out in those areas much quicker(likely due to the increased lipolysis in the region and then increase in demand during training for ATP fatty acids are more readily converted in those regions and in general improved blood flow, these are just my thoughts however). This is just a suggestion for some to try, I apply it about 10-15 minutes before every upper body day now.
When/where should you apply either?
*I personally prefer to apply Abliderate Advanced before bed to combat the rise in cortisol that happens in the hours
before waking. It's hard to combat that if you're asleep
. This could lead to some mild morning grogginess I found but about a few minutes of being up and I generally feel very refreshed.
*You can apply eviscerate whenever you please but the topical solution should be delivered by the carrier over a 12 hour window so keep that in mind. You'll notice this yourself after using it for a while.
*Abliderate Advanced should be applied specifically to the core region. Eviscerate can be applied anywhere.
*In general when using either, rub in thoroughly and preferably shower before hand and exfoliate the region you wish to apply it.
Think I covered everything but if I missed something let me know, thank you and enjoy.
