First I want to thank Anabolic Innovations once again for selecting me to run STOKED, I have used STOKED before as part of the SWOLE Stack after having already run TestoPro. Let me tell you as good as TestoPro is stand alone STOKED made it that much better. I will be running this product to keep my natural hormone levels optimized between stacks. I just came off of a test boosting stack of TNA and TForce, I want to keep my Testosterone levels maximised without affecting me negatively while keeping my libido up as well. STOKED fits that bill perfectly, see below for the information listed at NutraPlanet.com
Get Stoked!!!
Compare to Anabolic Innovation's Post Cycle Support!
1. Would you like to increase testosterone and decrease estrogen naturally with NO steroids and NO prohormones?
2. Are you between cycles and/or looking for something natural to bridge until your next cycle?
3. Would you like something to increase muscle mass and strength naturally?
4. How about something which requires NO post cycle therapy and NO support supplements before during or after?
5. Would you like to increase libido and sexual function?
**If you answered yes to 3 or more of the above then STOKED may be the product for you!
* Increase Testosterone
* Naturally Increases Sexual Function
* Reduces Estrogen
Trans-Resveratrol
This compound is like sliced bread to the supplement industry. There are many different health benefits to come from resveratrol, but we picked it up for one in particular. Resveratrol is capable of modulating estrogenic receptors as well as controlling aromatase, giving it that One Two Punch for estrogen control.[2][3] Research has shown its estrogenic modulation capabilities to increase sperm production by stimulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. [1]
Horny Goat Weed
Horny Goat Weed (HWG) is a great source of the testosterone mimetic, Icariin. Research on Icariin has shown it to increase circulating testosterone levels as well as improve reproductive organs, making it a great therapeutic for hypoandrogenic states (like right after a steroids cycle). [4]
On top of the testosterone mimetic capabilities of icariin, it also has some very interesting metabolites. In vivo research has shown icariin to metabolize into icaritin and desmethylicaritin. [5] What's great about these guys is the fact that (like resveratrol) are very strong estrogenic receptor antagonists. [6][7]
Quercetin & Piperine
Well we've got our pretty sick post cycle therapy stack going here, but there poses one small problem, and that's absorption and bioavailability. Icariin and Resveratrol do not have the greatest bioavailablity in all the land so we gave them a little help with Quercetin and Piperine. Quercetin is used because it is the most potent natural inbitor of estrone sulfanase which degrades compounds like resveratrol. [15] This makes not only aids in absorption, but enhances antiestrogenic activity. Piperine is another addition because it enhances the ability of your intestines to absorb nutrients and phytochemicals. [16] Additionally, piperine may also inhibit the glucuronidase enzyme, another enzyme which degrades resveratrol.[17]
:hitit: :hitit: :hitit:
Now that you have seen the product info here is a little more about the plan of action. I am in between stacks, allowing my body some down time from straight up Test boosters. Yes this will naturally elevate my testosterone levels but will not negatively effect my hormonal axis. I have my eye on a few other products that I might like to run with this during the time. Maybe a good GH booster would be a nice addidtion or something like PSarm. I would also be curious to see if running this with Natadrol would keep me from needing a PCT. If not I will be moving to the SWOLE Stack directly after if things go well so that would not be a problem either.
However at this point, other than STOKED! I will just be running my staples... Jack3d, ALCAR, EAA's, Various Oils, Cissus, Creatine, Protein Powders. I will also be looking for the next diet pill I am going to use. I have exhausted my time alottment for OEP and ReCreate now and I am just not sure what else out there is going to make me as happy as these two do. Open to a few recommendations.
I will be in recovery mode during this one which is also a great time for me to have the extra Resveratrol it just has so much to offer. Although in recovery mode do not expect to come into this log and find less intensity. This is the program I will be running during this month. It is a conditioning based program designed to cut fat without cardio. I will be adding in cardio on the days in between anyway. Here are the basics and the layout of the program.
These are not my actual maxes I lowered some of them to accomodate my healing. and keep weight changes down. The goal on this workout is no rest between exercises only enough to get the weights or move stations which is why I changed some of this over from a Barbell to DB Workout. The writer had one of these an all barbell plan and the other was all dumbbell. Mine will be all dumbbell. That way I am not spending time fighting with weights, as well as being able to do most everything from one adjustable bench. My wife will probably be doing the other circuit right next to me. I have done this workout before and it is a friggin beast.
Basics of workout are 20 reps no rest between exercises do 3 non-stop rotations of the giant set. Weights are increased in percentages of a previously obtained 10 rep max on all lifts in these increments of 10 rep max:
Weights listed below are Week 1 30%, Weeks 2&3 40%, Week 4 50%, Weeks 5&6 60% of 10 rep maxes

As you can see this keeps me quite light for 6 weeks and will cut me up with minimal if any LBM loss and my conditioning will go through the roof.
Diet will be as follows:
Calories will be be between 2400-2600, the actual calories as figured are on the plan but depending on actual meal used to meet these requirement there will be a 100-150 or so calorie variances in either direction of the target calories listed for each day.
