Glycemyx beta run

[Rodja]

I want to thank Matt and Genomyx for allowing me to test out their new gluten-free carb blend called Glycemyx. I got it in on Saturday and the powder is, in a word, interesting. It has a nice purple hue to it and each 70cc scoop is almost 40g of carbs. I mixed it with some of the USP Modern BCAA that I got form NP last week and, after about 60s, it mixed quite nicely in 24oz of water. Gave me some nice energy for my workout about an hour later and kept everything full.

What I'll be assessing for this run is using it as a pre-training carb source. Ever since Supercarb/Palatinose went away, I've been looking for something to use pre/during training. I'll be looking at recovery, energy, muscle fullness, and endurance.

Glad you got yours already! I Will be using mine in a similar fashion most likely pre / post.

Any comments thus far on taste or texture?

[Rodja]

It's got a bit of a weird texture. It's not gritty, but it more of suspends that completely dissolves.

[AZMIDLYF]

Is it flavored?

[Jorsn]

Interested in this stuff since its gluten free.

[Rodja]

Is it flavored?

There's a little flavor to it, but I have no idea what it is supposed to be. I wouldn't exactly say it is "flavored" per se, though.

[AZMIDLYF]

Ok Thx

Mixed with Modern BCAA's should be very mild taste i'd think.

Yeah, it was.

I used a scoop with my usual intra-training mix of strawberry lemonade MAP and BCAA along with the Glycemyx. I increased the amount of water to 32oz to dilute the mixture so it would be less thick to drink while training. One thing that I have been noticing lately is that my relative level of conditioning has been kinda poor lately due to me having to take some time off and having to re-adjust to the CNS demands. However, I have noticed that I'm not running on sheer will towards the end of my sessions and actually have a little in the tank. Not quite enough to make it through a Prowler session, but I'm not running on fumes either.

IN. I primarily designed this as a meal replacement, but have been using it preworkout with Protocol. Man, the pumps and energy and un*****ed. I'm blowing through these workouts like nothing, setting 2 PRs this week alone.

Looking forward to reading more.

I had a freaking awesome session today. I'll elaborate when I get home, but I got the, "you look swole" comments that I haven't gotten in awhile.

I started cutting for the Arnold at 240. After dropping to 230 I brought in the Glycemyx. I'm now leaning noticeable but my bodyweight has not changed at all.

I have a test that I use to gauge either the nutrient repartitioning or cell volumizing effect of a supplement and that is my delt fullness. I've always had very average, at best, delts, but I get a nice, full look when everything aligns properly. Yesterday, I got that long coveted fullness. My session was standing military, lat pulldowns, DB shoulder press, Tate press, and TYIs. Everything was done in the 6-12 range with a moderate TUT pace and the fullness stayed for over 2 hours despite eating very low carbs for the day and have been battling some URI symptoms.

Nice update man.

And I'm subbed.

[AZMIDLYF]

Sounds like it is doing it's thing.

For those interested, we've released the ingredients on FB earlier today:

Posted by Matt - Glycemyx is already a powerhouse, as both an meal replacement and workout adjunct (loving it preworkout.) write up and full release coming soon, but the product is a blend of whole oats, a special whole purple sweet potato powder with high anthocyanin content, and glucomannan (konica). Time to jettison the maltodextrin, and the insulin rollercoaster.

[Rodja]

Decided to pop a SS prior to taking the Glycemyx today (I used 1.5 scoops instead of 1, too), which I took about 30 minutes prior to training (along with my usual BCAA) and holy epic pumps Batman. I did traditional deads, uni leg press, hypers, and standing cable crunches and my erectors felt like twisted steel at the end. I'm only about 1/4 of the way through the bag, but I am very impressed with what I've noticed so far from the product.

Logs lookin good Rodja, im excited to give this stuff a go.

[AZMIDLYF]

This supp is getting some very positive results. Get this stuff to market guys!

[Thepaul7]

Very interested in this product. A gluten free carb source to go along with my Primal Diet may be just what I need to bulk a bit. Good log and subbed!
