Should Bullet Proof be cycled?
To get the maximum benefits of Bullet Proof we recommended cycling the product so that you body does not build a tolerance to the Nootropic ingredients in Bullet Proof. Bullet Proof can be used two ways:
During extra hard training periods or contest prep Bullet Proof can be used everyday for 22 days straight. After the 22 days you should cease usage for two weeks before starting another cycle of Bullet Proof.
Alternatively Bullet Proof can be cycled by using a 5 days on 2 days of regiment. With this dosing scheme you can use Bullet Proof for up to 8 weeks before needing to take a two-week break from the product. Optimally you would want to take Bullet Proof on Your workout days and not use it on your off days from training.
This was the approach I took the 5 days on 2 days off. I remember that first dose.... I was like, “well Orange Raspberry.... very innovative product with the flavor to go with it.” This stuff mixes in no matter what temperature you decided to use. So I took my first sip and thought...”damn, this taste like Orange baby aspirin!” Of course, I had to figure out what the taste was... Orange Raspberry is very unique... so trying to pinpoint an exact taste was difficult. It wasn’t really Orange and not so much Raspberry. I was sitting there drinking it one night and it hit me (no pun intended, cause when this kick’s in nite-nite.. see below) Cantaloupe! That’s right, for me it tasted like Cantaloupe and from there on out I couldn’t get enough. So on my non-workout days... I was really missing my nighttime mix.
Should I drink Bullet proof during workouts since it has EAA?
Although Bullet Proof contains many ingredients that are very productive when taking around training times, its also contains ingredients that will strongly relax the body and induce sleep. Therefore it is not recommended to take Bullet Proof before a workout or during the day, but as a nighttime recovery aid.
Will Bullet Proof help me fall asleep faster?
Yes! The ingredients in Bullet Proof not only induce deeper and more restful sleep, but also to relax the body and mind while still awake. Shortly after dosing Bullet Proof users will notice a very relaxing and calming feeling taking over there body which will lead to users falling asleep anywhere from 30 - 60 minutes later.
Wow, 30-60 minutes is an understatement! I guess it all depends on the individual. The first week, it hit me in a matter of 15-20 minutes. It felt like I took a muscle relaxer (sp)! I could seriously feel the relaxation setting in. Then in the second week, I started to just hold a little in my mouth for 20 seconds or so to see if it would absorb quicker (you know... a little experiment). Great stuff…
Why is sleep important to a bodybuilder/athlete?
Contrary to popular belief, athletes and bodybuilders do not build muscle in the gym but they actually build it while sleeping. When training you cause micro tears in your muscle fibers that trigger the body to repair and strengthen itself so that you can become stronger and adapt to your training. The catch is though, that the body will only repair itself while you are at rest. Also while you sleep you are allowing your body's central nervous system to refresh itself and prepare your body for future training. Without proper rest an athlete will never fully recover from their training and will eventually not be able to progress to more intense and productive training sessions. Finally proper sleep will allow your body to produce two of its most anabolic hormones, Testosterone and Growth Hormone. These two hormones greatly influence your body composition and athletic ability, which will allow you to achieve your goals not only faster, but also naturally.
I feel the highlighted/bold sentence in here is what a lot of us take for granted. There are so many companies out there with products to get us “huge” during workouts, it’s finally nice to have a quality product (packed with amazing ingredients) that not only helps you sleep, but force feeds your muscles with the HGH and Night Growth Matrix.
Overall:
Once again, this product does everything it promises! As for recovery, I’d have to say this has been one of the best product’s I’ve used. If you look at my log, I’ve push my body beyond anything I thought I could accomplish (thanks to Assault). By doing this, my body would have been sore as hell if it wasn’t for Bullet Proof. Granted, I was still sore…. but not near as bad as I would have been if it wasn’t for this supplement. Seriously… look at the log, started off simple, very basic… then hooked up with a PT and took it to the next level.
Key Points:
Taste: Orange/Raspberry – at first really took me back a bit, but love the taste!
Ingredients: Perfect for someone looking to either cut/bulk, what else could you ask for…
Price – once again, for what you’re getting in the product, the price is damn inexpensive!
Wish I could take this every night to help me grow/repair/sleep…etc
As I sit here sipping on my last serving…. That’s where this log has to end… time for bed!
