Custom Capsules New Joint Supplement
Preface
I will be competing in a bench press and deadlift meet tomorrow so the past few months of training have been rough. I have been having some aches in my ankles and my left elbow and I am hoping Custom Capsules new formula is going to get my feeling 100%.​
Other Supps
Fish Oil and Muscle Pharms Combat Powder​
You Might Like To Know
I train westside, follow the anabolic diet, and I am in a maintenance phase with my weight so diet will be consistent throughout.​
How the log will run
I will be using the formula for thirty days straight at two capsules a day. Rather than giving daily updates about trivial workouts I will just update on days where my Elbow or ankles are feeling achy. This will most likely be my Dynamic Effort Upper days and possibly my Dynamic effort Lower days.​
Final Review
I was pretty impressed with this product, it did exactly what it was suppose to without any weird side effects. The Joint Support formula really seemed to lubricate my elbows and knees fairly quickly allowing me to keep up with my heavy training. I noticed a decline in headaches while I was using the formula as well, which is something I wasn't expecting. The biggest downside I had with the formula is that I could never remember if I took it or not. I know there were days when I doubled dosed the product but it didn't seem to make a noticeable difference. For me this product was more effective than a cissus only product and it seemed to work really well with my fish oil regiment.​

Thoughts On Joint Support
Well my wrists felt good during the presses and extensions, but my right elbow is still pretty dry and achy. During the Prowler trips my ankles starting taking a beating, mainly because I tend to over pronate my left. The joint support seems like its starting to lessen the dull aches I have in my ankles so I am happy about that but I cant fully attribute this to the Joint Repair yet.​
Other
Still deloading from the meet but starting monday I will get back into my heavy training. This week is more or less to introduce our assistance exercises for the next few weeks. I am going to get some new shoes to squat in this week so hopefully I will find something with good ankle support. I have been using a pair of Chuck Taylors that I had modified with a solid heal elevation but they are just not giving my the support I need and I feel like I always sliding around in them. If anyone ever wants a cheap pair of Olympic shoes though I can't think of a better option than getting a pair of chucks and having the heel added on.​

I have been trying a lot of different things lately to increase strength and mobility in my ankle and I have found marching on foam to be one of the most noticeable movements to do. Also if you can use jump stretch bands to traction your ankles they help decrease joint pain in my experience.

Thoughts
Today was used to get use to the accessory work for our upcoming dynamic lower body days. The Joint support seemed to make my elbow feel good today as well as keeping my ankles feeling not horrible during the rdls and sled dragging. My joints are starting to feel like they are getting back to a normal level of lubrication which I attribute to the Joint support and my high fat diet.​

Joint Support
Elbow felt great both yesterday and today, very impressed with how quickly it relieved the dryness. My ankles felt ok while lifting this morning but they are bugging me know. I feel like the Joint support formula is helping keeping everything lubricated but I am just starting to notice an anti-inflammatory effect acutely after dosing. I have also noticed that I don't feel as rigid as usual when I first wake up in the morning. In other words, so far so good.​

Joint Support
Well my elbow was a little tender after my first couple sets of bench but once it fully warmed up it was feeling good. I am definitely noticing better joint lubrication since starting the joint support formula. I braced my ankles todays before doing the prowler sprints and that really made a huge difference in how I preformed there. I am impressed with the formula so far because its seems to be getting more noticeable by the day.​

Thoughts of Joint Support
My hips were a little beat up after friday but that went away pretty quickly. My elbow is feeling almost 100% now, with absolutely no dryness today. Ankles have been feeling pretty bad the last couple days, mainly because the weather is changing a little bit which always gets them sore. I am pretty impressed with the Joint Support so far, its seems to work a little quicker than any of the Cissus products I have tried, and the dosing is super simple. I can definitely seeing this being a staple supplement for anyone with joint issues.​

Pretty much my whole body felt like a giant tird today, but all my joints felt good. I usually end up with my knees killing me after front squats but today they did not bother me at all. I just did the two light sets because my back was fried from the Good mornings, but my ankles and knees could have handled a lot more.​

My ankles are absolutely killing me today, but my elbow is feeling ok. The prowler usually beats up my ankles anyways so Im can understand why they hurt now.

Joint Support
Ankles felt absolutely horrible today, I don't know what triggered it but they were locking up on me all last night and this morning the were aching pretty bad, probably a 7 out of 10. Elbow has still been feeling great though, and after a little trigger wheeling to loosen up my ankles they are feeling alright now but still not great.​
Rant
Why can't I ever remember how to squat. Every week I make at least one mistake that kills my form. Today I did a couple sets without my lats tight at all, then once I got tight there I realized I wasn't setting my hips right (balls to the box). Finally on my last set I realized that I was pushing my knees out, but not spreading the floor at all. Who knows maybe one day I will get it together and be a real power lifter lol.​

Everything felt pretty good today, and thus far I am happy with how quickly the joint support helps my joints get lubricated after they feel dry or achy for a couple days.

Joint Support
Everything is feeling great today pain wise. My elbows seem like they are pretty much 100% now and my knee hasn't bothered me at all lately. My ankles have been hit or miss but that is something I am going to deal with my whole life. One weird thing I have noticed from this product is a reduction in head aches that are usually associated with seasonal allergies. For the first week I used the problem I noticed they were starting to get less severe , they are usually not bad to begin with but still noticeable, and now they are just about non existent. The prowler headache made me realize this today because that is the only headache I have gotten in the past week or so.​

Joint Support
Ankles felt great today, they did not give me any problems what so ever. I think I messed something up in my right hand today while I was squatting so hopefully the Joint Support will help alleviate any inflammation that may arise from it. I think it was because of where my grip is on the Giant Camber bar. I am starting to notice that my muscles are recovering quickly since I started using the joint support. Usually after lifting in the morning I will begin to feel beat up at night, but with the joint support I don't really get that feeling. I am guessing this is all related to the anti-inflammatory effects of some of the ingredients.​
