After 2 weeks of anxious waiting (and constant over-the-phone-abuse 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

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.

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 , 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, 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 as I was preparing my dinner (USPlabs reps, are you sure all substances in this stack are legal ? ). 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

Haha, they're legal.

Thank you! I ruptured my hamstring 11 days ago. Gonna be a bit of a process getting back to normal, but I'm finally off bed rest this week, and I went back to the gym yesterday for the first time since my accident. One day at a time...

Great stuff so far DragonFly - as far as I know you're the first female to log this stack!

I'll be following the adventures of the Alpha-Female for sure!.

I am now at the beginning of DAY 5 of the stack and feel an urge to give some updates.
The addition of PwFULL to Recreate definitely gives an euphoric kick.
Within 30min of PwFULL dose it feels like an atomic bomb of willpower, positive energy and excessive happiness had been unleashed. This effect does not ware out significantly after the morning HIIT cardio, I’m actually getting concerned that I payed big bucks for high quality capped booze
USPlabs

Seriously, I’m planning on cutting back the dose because it is a bit too much to handle at the moment, especially in the morning, when I get to work (my colleagues have already asked me to share my secret “drugs” with them) So, instead of dosing 2Recreate/1PwFULL I’ll experiment with a)1Recreate/1PwFULL and b ) 2Recreate only, and see if that results in a "more down-to-earth" me. Otherwise I'll have to change my signature 'cause I have no attitude problems now The pre-gym afternoon dose will stay the same 1Recreate/2PwFULL.

Now, about sleep patterns. For years I’ve had difficulty falling asleep. Usually toss and turn for 1hr before coming down with a shallow, restless sleep. Quite often I’d be waking up at odd hours for no particular reason. Because of this, if I had gotten ANYTHING LESS THAN 8hrs of sleep per night (and I literally mean that), the day after I’d have the mental clarity and energy of a retarded turtle ! A shot of coffee would kind-of-fix that (non-retarded turtle).

Adding PwFULL made falling asleep easy. Also, sleep has been deep and uninterrupted now. Interestingly, to my outmost astonishment, sleeping time has dramatically DE-CREASED (since beginning of the stack: 7.5hrs, 7.5hrs, 6hrs, 7hrs) with no decrease in energy . Quite the opposite, I’m more switched on than EVER b4 in my life !!!!!!! I feel like :

This is a cool log.

[jakellpet]

haha - now you know what we're all on about!

Just wait until the techno-graphic dreams kick in - often, erm (hushed voice) a bit x-rated!

I'm not too sure if PowerFull or ReCreate dosages are weight dependent, but perhaps initially dropping down the dose is the way to go. I found with PowerFull you do start building a tollerance - the new 5/2 dosing protocol helps mitigate that effect to a degree.

Thanks !!! So is your meal log! The pressure's on now, it looks like it will be a proper log Let us know how your gf responds to PwFULL, if she decides to take it. Some alpha FE-MALE competition would be most
