First of all, shout out to Grambo for hooking me up with the opportunity to try out SlinShot. Here is just a brief rundown on me and what I'm doing. I've been lifting regularly since age 14. In June of 2009, I transitioned into a bodybuilding training style from more of a recreational weight-lifter and started to learn nutrition and that has made all the difference. I just finished an 8 week bulk (about 80% clean) and put on 21 lbs in that time. Highest weight reached (upon rising) was 241. I am now hovering between 236-238 in the mornings and have very slowly transitioned into cutting, making minimal adjustments weekly to ensure that I don't stall out sooner and that I can preserve as much muscle as possible.
If you read my post/application from the initial thread, you'd see that my main reason for wanting to try this is because I am quite carb-sensitive and put on weight (both muscle and unfortunately fat) relatively easily. In fact, I went on a bit of a keto diet for a couple years except I never did refeeds (again, the whole not understanding nutrition side of things completely hindering my progress). A friend turned me onto Anabolic Pump about 8 months ago or so. Ever since that point, I have relied on a nutrient partitioner / insulin sensitizer regularly for fear of ballooning back up.
I never really felt anything when taking Anabolic Pump or P-Slin. I saw a cheap deal on SlinSane and purchased/tried it. What I realized is that despite not feeling anything on the other 2 products, they were in fact working better than SlinSane did for me - I felt bloated and sick after carb-filled meals when using it, unlike I did when using the other two.
I received my bottle of SlinShot just as I was about to leave work on Friday. I promptly tried my first dose with my post-workout whole-food meal an hour and 15 minutes after workout (whey shake with no carbs is taken 15 minutes after my last set; whole food 1 hour later). I didn't notice anything with this dose.
Saturday and Sunday (unless my workouts push over into the weekend) are low-carb days, as I started carb cycling as I came off of my bulk (legs and back day are high-carb, other lifting days are moderate). So my only meal with any substantial carbs was breakfast on Saturday and Sunday (whole grain cereal with a bit of skim milk). SlinShot was dosed before both of these meals. Not much was noticed on these days, either.
Yesterday was a moderate carb day for me (arms). I dosed SlinShot before each carb-filled meal (4x: breakfast, lunch, pre-workout, post-workout). It is very noticeable now. What this made me realize is that Sunday I was starting to notice, but I wasn't as sure about it. My veins are much more prominent after dosing SlinShot. I will be very interested to see how things play off in leaning out while using this.
Today is a high carb day (legs), so dosing will be 5x and total carbs will be up significantly. I will post on this regularly and if there are any questions, please feel free to ask them. Dosing has been 2 caps (1 serving) before all carb-heavy meals which are at a minimum 40g of complex carbs and upward of 100g at breakfast (dosing has been 2 caps for all; if any reps feel I should change any of my dosing, please let me know. I've been doing it this way to maximize bottle duration).
For more information on me, feel free to check my training log (which has body measurements and such) or my BodySpace (same user-name).
