After 2 weeks of anxious waiting (and constant over-the-phone-abuse :aargh: of the supplement store for doing a major stuff-up with my order), my USP stack finally arrived. I have never been so excited to try a supplement stack before (and believe me I tried sooooo much stuff it HURTS my head just to think about it…not to mention my bank account). This was a scary feeling because great expectations always come along with an even greater risk of disappointment.
After being ONLY 2 DAYS on RECREATE/PwFULL/AP, I can only say this: USP Labs :box::box::box::clap2::clap2::hammer:
First of all I've been suffering from Adrenal Fatigue for A VERY LONG TIME, due to overtraining and caffeine abuse. In fact, I can’t remember a day in the last couple of years where I’ve managed to escape from the mid-afternoon abyss of lethargy. In the past, the thing that would get me going in the gym was coffee…and lots of it. Outside of the gym by and large I used to feel like a total lazy slob and getting through the day was generally a major challenge. :sad:
I followed the USP instructions and planned the supplementation as follows (starting with 2AP&3PwFULL/day in the first week, will increase that to 3AP&4PwFULL/day in the following weeks, Recreate will stay at 3/day)
1. 30min b4 morning cardio: 1PwFULL +2Recreate (cardio 20-30min, HIT)
2. Following cardio and 30min b4 breakfast: 1AP (protein shake+40g complex carbs)
3. 30min b4 workout (approx 1hr after pre-WO meal):
1Recreate+2PwFULL
4. Immediately Post-WO & 30min b4 post-WO meal: 1AP
Post-WO meal: same as breakfast
OK, so after 1st day on RECREATE/PwFULL/AP I felt like jumping out of my skin !!! I had an energy rush throughout the day without any crashes. It wasn’t steady though, to my uttermost surprise, it peaked right at the “usual crisis time”, mid-afternoon just after lunch (~4-5hrs after taking the first Recreate dose, forgot the morning PwFULL, oh well…). I was totally stoked, I couldn’t wait to hit the gym !!! There was a second peak in energy around 9PM (~4-5hrs following the pre-WO Recreate/PwFULL dose). Interestingly, on day 2 of supplementation, the timing of the two “energy peaks” was EXACTLY the same as on day 1 !!! Addition of PwFULL had an interesting effect: euphoria :woohoo: :head: :woohoo: :head:, it was like being on alcohol but without side effects (like I said, on day 1 I forgot the morning dose of PwFULL and I wasn’t euphoric). The effect of the stack on the gym workout was more noticeable on day 2. The drive to lift weights and to go further out of the comfort zone was increased. This is something I’ve experienced before however, NEVER on an EMPTY stomach. Which brings me to the appetite suppression effect of Recreate. It kicked in from the first dosing !!!! I usually workout around 5PM and have a big pre-WO shake 1hr before. After taking Recreate hunger was diminished, I had lunch @2PM and then @4PM I basically FORCED myself to down ½ of the usual pre-WO shake. I took the 2nd Recreate/PwFULL dose as planned, 30min b4 workout and I was amazed at the endurance I had in the gym. The workout was legs and back (very basic stuff: deads, front squats, leg curls, leg ext, pull-ups). 2nd day, out of curiosity, I decided to omit the pre-WO shake altogether, instead I just had a cup of decaff with some milk. Same thing happened, endurance was great and I was smashing the weights (decided to do legs and back again cause I felt like self mutilation, :saw: haha ! started off with walking db lunges, then superset: Pendlay Row+Overhead squat, deads superset with db jumping lunges, unilateral leg press). With AP, the effects really kicked in on the 2nd day, after dose 2 (post-WO). Approximately 1hr after the post-WO meal I got severely hypoglycemic (even though the amount of carbs was the same as with previous dosings). Usually, if I’m hypoglycemic I am as pleasant to deal with as a cornered cobra. Not on this occasion, I was still euphoric from Recreate/PwFULL and was dancing and jumping around like a lunatic :dance: :fool2: as I was preparing my dinner (USPlabs reps, are you sure all substances in this stack are legal ? :lol. Not sure yet if I’ll start a proper log but I will definitely be posting updates on this ! I’m so ecstatic to be officially a part of the USP supp addict crowd :thumbsup:
