AMS Triangle Stack
Pump Fixx- preworkout
hyper TROP-X- preworkout (leucine, beta alanine)
Body Mortar CF

I want to thank AMS for allowing me to give this review, it is perfect timing as I finished an AMS cycle & pct so I am taking time off from anything hormonal and herbal.

I am 42 yrs, 5-7, and 172lbs and have been training seriously for about 8 yrs. I will be focusing on an endurance routine as I prep for triathlon season coming up, so reps will be 12-15.

My diet is pretty consistent with chicken, fish, and STEAK along with red potatoess, brown rice, and veggies. I do not count calories because I am not concerned with getting "cut" just staying lean. I am always active with coaching multiple sports along with my wt training. Now my cycling, running, and swimming will increase my workload.

I had my first workout on Monday after having about 12 days off so it was a nice warmup for the log.

• Pump Fixx had a nice fruit punch flavor along with some effervescence.
  
• Body Mortar is a lemonade flavor I HATE lemonade, but it was tolerable so that is a compliment in a way since I dont like the lemon flavor ever.

The workout was pretty good overall, but I felt light-headed early on. I am sure it was because of a lack of carbs since I dont eat well on days off . . . . I get lazy since I am home alone. I will see how I feel next typical workout. Also, sweat was way up along with body heat. I will assess the impact of the stack in these areas as time goes by.

First. Your log hit my twitter feed fast!

[R1balla]

Workout 2

I took care of back and triceps today and I felt pretty good, strength was consistent from pre-break and intensity was up as always. I am not sure if it is the stack but I am exhausted between sets, like I was running/sprinting, I get winded FAST! I will keep this in mind to compare over time.

Back- deadlifts, wide pulldowns, db rows
Triceps- skullcrushers, close grip bench, rope pushdowns

I tried to do some cycling post wts but I had ZERO breathing!

Oh, my Pump Fixx was all clumped and solid, I am breaking it up in my mini-blender so that I can get the proper dosage. Anyone else experience this?

That would only happen if it was exposed to air. Make sure to seal it up tight!

That's how it arrived . . . . I transferred it to another container so that it seals in the freshness

[R1balla]

yeah i had the same problem but i just put it in another container and its fine now

In on this

Should the HyperTropX be taken ONLY on workout days? Are there any benefits for non-workout days, maybe like on cardio days for swimming or cycling?

Workout 3

Chest/Biceps today and things are going well: strength and endurance are still consistent from my AMS Growth Kit cycle and PCT. My strength has dropped slightly but that is to be expected, but I am still pushing similar wt at slightly fewer reps. My weight has stayed consistent from PCT and I will be increasing cardio this week as I prep for triathlon season.

I am liking the Pump Fixx with clean energy, got a nice bicep pump and increased vascularity as I dropped the wt a little bit at the end for incline curls with a great stretch of the muscle . . . they were aching.

The HyperTropX gives a great BA tingle, I forgot it has BA and was wondering what was going on the first few times. Still wondering why the SWEATING/HEAT! I was not as winded today, we'll see the next few workouts.

I am getting used to the lemonade flavor of Body Mortar, not my fave but it is not too bad. I know many like the flavor so it is not a knock on the flavor but just personal preference.

I mostly hope I can maintain wt while increasing endurance training so this is the big test for the stack. I will take the HyperTropX pre-cardio tomorrow and see how I feel.

Workout 4

Worked out on back/triceps the other day and some consistency in energy and heat/sweat. I felt great as I warmed up and then hit the deadlifts. I was gonna go moderate wt and go for reps at 225, but it seem to come with ease so I kept upping the wt and finished with sets of 315x4, not bad for me at 170 lbs.

I have adjusted my pre-workout intake to include more carbs so I am not getting exhausted so quickly since I amused to my intra-workout including carbs.

Overall my wt is sticking while I have adjusted to hi-rep endurance training. I am just hoping for consistent strength in hi-rep with minor increases in wt for the long haul.

It's designed for muscular endurance. So yes to both situations. Or even when you are trying to add leucine to a meal. Beta-alanine is also better when you spread it out a bit so taking like a tab with a meal can be helpful.

The sweating may be from the Yohimbine hcl in the Hypertrop-X.

You can actually mix the BM carb free with regular body mortar if you want. Tastes good still.

I have added a bit of pwdered lemon-lime gatorade for the carbs and the flavor, but it is minimal.

One of my gym buddies mentioned me bulking, looking bigger. I have not gained any wt but he says the size is showing as I lean out.

Workout 5

I had to get in a quick workout because my wife had Angel tix, right behind homeplate! Got it done in 30 mins but I def feeling it a day later, good intensity.

Worked the shoulders with a tri-set: military press, lateral raises, front raises. I took about 45 sec between sets but strength maintained. I like the energy I get from Pump Fixx, I will use it tomorrow before a swim session.

4 Tri-Sets
Mil- 135x12
Lat- 30x10
Front- 30x 8

[Royd The Noyd]

That's one the nice effects of getting leaner....looking bigger.

Workout 6

I worked the chest and biceps today and had a phenomenal workout! My strength is improving slightly since post PCT where you expect to lag a bit.

Last heavy chest w/o was pre AMS stack and I was pushing bench 3x225x6, today's w/o I put 3x225x8, then 3x235x6. I followed with incline DB for 3x70x12 with ease. I didnt want to go too heavy on DBs since I havent used them in a while, now I know what I can do and increase the wt next w/o.

I also had solid #s on db curls with 3x50x8 followed by 3x40x12 in hammer curls. I was doing 3x50x10 while on the AMS Anabolic Growth Kit so this is not to bad while going natty for a while.

I did up the dose of Pump Fixx to 2 scoops, it is a nice energy without the aggression associated with some pre-workouts like Anadraulic State, my fave! But Pump Fixx is a solid replacement while not using AS for its anti-E/test boost properties. My endurance has improved since I have been using the Triangle Stack, not sure why I was dying the first few workouts, just ZERO endurance now I am taking shorter rests and still feeling fine.

Wow, definitely an intense w/o yesterday because I felt it this morning, I usually dont feel it until the 2nd day. My chest is aching and my biceps are still throbbing AND vascularity is still a plus the next day. On benching I forced the last 2 reps so I used everything I had, def felt it in my back as I re-racked the bar, now I feel it in my neck and traps . . . . that's intensity. I did do deep stretches and held for 5 sec on the db flies, I know that always tears me up. And on DB curls I held my arms turned outwards and did a very concentrated curl, only used 20lbs on the last set because it hurt so much.

I am sucking down extra BCAAs today to add in the recovery.

Usually one of the first things I drink in the AM.

Yesterday I hit back and triceps and had a good workout, endurance is improving and I am taking less time between sets. I kept DLs at the same but upped the DB rows, I like doing 2-arm db rows over single, feel like I am more focused on the proper form and contraction. I see too many people using more tricep than back usually. On skullcrushers I increased the wt yet maintained the same rep routine and followed with close grip bench and v-bar pushdowns.

Another buddy at the gym commented on my size, so that is good news since I wrapped up my cycle in late Feb and I have maintained, if not gained more size.

Muscles seem harder and vascularity is maintained for hours post workout. It is still early in the stack but this is looking like a solid supp stack for between test-booster and/or cycles.
