Gettin' Focused on Gettin' Big with SNS

[sns8778]

Yes, I am fully aware of this and not comparing it to a stim any longer. I am just rating it as any added energy or alertness it gives me beyond my natural state. Just trying to give an honest review.

However, I should say that I have a HIGH tolerance to stims. Some say 1-2 scoops of Jack3d makes them feel horrible -- 3 is just getting me awake. I can throw down a couple energy drinks back to back and feel fine. I have a really high tolerance to stims so as far as that goes could be my lack of -- as most other logs I have read they did feel a boost in energy.

Good information about the tolerence levels.

I completely understand that rating part, I just wanted to make sure you were expecting the right response for it and that people reading were looking for the right thing from it. Being that it is for the mental alertness aspect of things, delivering too much energy would kind of go against the primary function of the product.

That is a great explanation as when I have too much energy I am all over the damn place. I am pretty sensitive to stims, but I am intrigued by Focus XT. Any samples available by chance?

I am the same way. I think that stims definately have a time and a place, but they arent exactly for great 'focus' - i think the key is to have just enough without it being overkill.

We are hoping to have samples in the future, but dont at this time though.

That is a very good point actually and I never thought about it that way -- maybe I am an energy junkie.

Missed my second serving of creatine last night but oh well. Popping a dose of both and off to the gym now..

Day Four:

Pretty much the same as the other days. Focus was not QUITE as good in the gym today but I wasn't feeling the best neither so I would give it a 8/10 today.

The creatine is rocking. I am busting ass in the gym and not feeling tired. It is awesome. Look bigger in the mirror but weighed down a pound today at 180.6. Kind of disappointing but I am eating cleaner than over the summer so could be why. Going to try and shove even more food in my mouth.

samples would kick ass!

Day Five & Six:

Saturday was an off WO day and a recover from Friday night day. I did pop some Focus XT just as an experiment. I ended up reading a whole Business Week magazine -- I can really see the effects of this stuff when doing things you normally would get ADD with. I will probably have a lot more homework in classes this week and am ready to put this stuff to the test outside of the gym.

I will keep you updated -- back in the gym tomorrow.

Also, I am coming down with a nasty cold. Felt like complete **** yesterday and although a little better today -- definitely not well. I don't feel like eating but am going to make myself because I don't want to end up losing weight. Hopefully it dies out by tomorrow. Going to pop some DayQuil and watch my Bengals whip ass.

WHO DEY!

Day 7:

My Bengals got fluked out a W! Oh well!

Still not feeling 100% but decided to hit the gym anyway today for some chest and tri. Working out when I am a little under the weather always makes me feel better so I don't usually take time off.

I have to say the Magnesium Creatine Chelate is getting a 10/10 right now. Make sure you have a spotter when using this stuff -- it makes you feel like you can lift all day. I noticed this especially today. My muscles simply do not feel tired even though you can tell when you are wearing down. Through my whole work out I never get that burn out feeling and it allows me keep going and going. This brings on a mental aspect as well -- if your muscles don't feel tired you don't tell your brain your tired which could equal one more rep, one more set, etc. Lovin' it.

I noticed another thing about the Focus XT today. Beyond focus -- it gives you drive. I was sitting at my computer browsing AM about 45 min. pre-WO and took some Focus XT. A couple minutes later I was looking for jobs online, checking what HW was due tomorrow...WTF? I think if you took this everyday you couldn't help but get **** done! Same focus in the gym as well -- just makes me feel good.

So far -- loving both products.

Weight was 180.8 today. Still need to shove more food in my mouth!

[warbird01]

Yeah dude Focus XT is very good for studying too, a lot of people use it for that, I definitely will be!

You feeling better?

[mattikus]

Feel better Kevin! Both products seem to be treating you very well!

[Kevin R]

Feel better Kevin! Both products seem to be treating you very well!

Thanks! I feel lot better today. Still not feeling amazing but taking a lot of Tylenol Cold to combat whatever is going around campus.

Day Eight:

Got up in time today, 6:30am, for my 8am class unlike last time. Gulped down my breakfast bulk shake I am taking in the morning now from the Recipes section. This cleaner eating is taking its tole on my mental growth as every time I get on the scale the weight is down even though I am eating a **** ton more food -- but I can see that I am leaner. Dosed both MCC and Focus at around 7:30 and headed off to class. Focus XT did not have quite as strong effects on me this morning -- be in the cold or what -- but I found myself dosing off in class.

Took both again pre-WO -- leg day! Moved it to Tuesday this week instead of Thursday as I will be doing my Friday WO Thursday because I am heading home to see a good friend before he heads overseas to Iraq (there will be some drinking going on -- but in this case it is okay )

Anyways, back to the WO. Had good focus today despite the sniffles. Oh yeah, I guess I should mention that I finally hit my deadlift goal of 300. I was psyched. Felt like I could have even went heavier if the grip would have been there. Couldn't even budge that two weeks ago. I have only been working out my legs consistently for approx. a month and a half so I am very pleased with this so far. I guess I can thank SNS.

Day Nine:

Back and shoulders in the gym today. Feeling better as far as being sick goes. Passed as my colds usually do in a few days...

Popped both MCC and Focus XT as usual before the workout today. Focus just wasn't as good as the previous gym visits. Caught myself doing old things and couldn't concentrate on the reason I was there -- could have had too many things on my mind but just didn't feel like I did other apps of the product. Hopefully this isn't building a tolerance and was merely an "off day" for me and XT.

The creatine is still doing its job. Not tiring through workouts. Did legs on Tuesday and had some crazy DOMS today. Really liking this stuff thus far.

Forgot to weigh myself to day but will update tomorrow.

Day Ten:

Good day today. Feeling better all around. Time to head home and wish my boy a proper goodbye before headin' overseas.


FOCUS XT:

I don't know if I am getting used to the product or not but I don't seem to feel the same "focus" I did before. Now, this is pre-WO for me. I still can't wait to use this product before I study. I am going to have a HEAVY homework load next week so I am really going to put this stuff to the test. Might work better for me for this purpose rather than for workouts, as explained earlier, I have a HEAVY tolerance to stims. Now, don't get me wrong, nothing about this product says it is a pre-WO supplement. I am just trying to cover all the bases someone might buy it for and give honest feedback.

Magnesium Creatine Chelate

I am really diggin' this product. Today I worked out the bis and arms and I must have done a thousand sets trying to burn out. It is insane the endurance I have in the gym now. I can only compare it to the cycle of H-drol I did. Now, not the weight or strength gains, but the endurance is solid.

Today's Weight: 181.8 Gained a little back.

Probably won't be reporting much this weekend so I'll update Monday.

Day 14:

Woo. What a weekend -- was a good time. Ended up going out Saturday night and got into a little scuffle with a guy who pushed my best friends wife. I feel kind of bad now but guy was well deserving. Almost got into some police trouble but the entire bar backed up my story -- was a relief. Lets just say my hand hurts really bad.

Anyways, had a pretty crappy workout today due to the cheat weekend. Took both Focus XT and MCC pre-WO today. Focus wasn't quite as pronounced as normal but I also worked out with my roommate today so spent more time talking about the weekend than focusing on the weights. Still have great endurance in the gym.

My workload this week is ridiculous so I can't wait to put Focus XT to the test for some paper-writing and study sessions.

I have been following your log and I know you are running a review for Focus XT but
when you take the same stim supplement everyday before a workout I guarentee
that after 7-10 days of running the same stim your body will build a tolerence to the
ingredients and it won't work as good as the first few times you used it. I have 6 different stim supps that I rotate and they each have different ingredients so that I
don't get use to the ingredients. I might use one stim today and I might go 2 weeks
before I use that same stim again and thats what I always recommend to other people I help train. I will continue following your log because I am interested in trying Focus Xt
in the future as a preworkout supplement.
