I would like to start by thanking Smitty, Vicesoldier and Genomyx for selecting me to do a sponsored log of Slin Sane V2. This will be mice first time using a GDA, so I am really looking forward to seeing what it does for me. Here's a little background on me:

Age: 37
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 236 lbs.
BF%: Estimated 23-25
Training: Lift 4x per week, but going to try going to 5x per week during ArA cycle. Cardio (LISS and HIIT) 3x per week.
Diet: Shoot for 2100-2200 Cals daily - 225g protein, 150 carbs, 70g fat
Goals: Looking to continue recomping as I have come down from 293lbs. in early February to 236lbs. now. Also only been back in the gym for 5 months after a couple years off recovering from 3 knee surgeries.

Current supplements (all taken preworkout except for Cissus):

SNS X-Gels
PrimaForce bulk ALCAR and Agmatine
GlycerGrow
SNS TTA-500
Genomyx DCP
MAN Clout

Bulk Cissus powder

My goal for this log is to see what Slin Sane V2 can do to improve my vascularity, nutrient uptake and to keep insulin levels under control so my body can burn more efficiently. I will try dosing SSV2 at different times of day with varying amounts of carbs in order to see just what it does for me. I welcome questions as well as comments from other users as well.

July 27th:

1st dose: 1 pill 20 minutes before breakfast with 35 grams of carbs
2nd dose: 2 pills before before lunch with 130 grams of carbs (huge burger and fries cheat meal)

The first day went pretty well. I didn't feel any sides such as bathroom issues which I was a little worried about. I was obviously very full after my huge lunch, but didn't seem to have the normal carb crash that would be associated with that much food. I was able to go to the gym and have a good workout (without stims) only 4.5 hours later.

I weigh myself every day and was pleasantly surprised to find that I was actually down this morning. Obviously weight fluctuates from day to day, but I was worried I would gain weight after that epic lunch. So far so good.

I am going to shoot for two caps per day. That should be more than enough as long as I am eating right. I will play around with when and how many to take throughout the log.

Day 2

July 28th:

1st dose - 1 pill 20 minutes before lunch containing 38 grams of carbs
2nd dose - 1 pill 30 minutes before dinner containing 62 grams of carbs

2 days in and no sides to speak of. I am not noticing any huge difference so far other than heavier carb meals don't seem to leave me as tired as they normally would. I expect the effects of SSV2 to intensify as I get further into the bottle.

I lifted first thing in the morning and really didn't notice any difference in the quality of my workout or pumps. I expect this will change as well.

Will be cool to see your feedback on this. I got a bottle and started using it yesterday. Plan on starting my X-factor/X-gels run tomorrow as well so looks like we have similar stacks going on. :cool:

Is it true this new stuff is good for up to 60-70 carbs for 1 cap? That might be very cost effective if so, thought I read that somewhere.

Yes as Smitty put it one cap can cover 60g but as long as its clean complex carbs not then dirty riding carbs

Day 3

July 29th:

1st dose: 2 pills before eating 108 grams of carbs during an ill-advised trip to Red Lobster
2nd dose: 1 pill before bed at about 9:45 PM.

This was my second huge cheat meal in three days on this stack. I'm not usually that bad, but do tend to cheat on the weekend if I am going to cheat. For the purpose of this log that might not be a bad thing. I'm a normal guy eating a normal diet and it will give people a chance to see what the product does when you aren't strictly adhering to the perfect diet. While we all know that there is no supplement that allows you to eat bad and not suffer the consequences, I think we all hope that SSV2 can at least let us minimize the damage from these cheat meals.

I have heard a lot of talk about taking SSV2 pre-bed, so I had to give it a shot. It has only been one night, but it seemed to make me get up to pee more frequently during the night. I usually go once and last night it was three times. I did notice some effects of SSV2 in the mirror this morning though. I seemed dried out and more vascular than normal. I had veins in my arms that were prominent even though they are usually only like that during exercise. I am going to use SSV2 again tonight pre-bed to see if it produces similar effects.

Just started SS v2 today. Great ingredient profile. I'll be running blood glucose tests as well.

20 minutes pre breakfast (90g carbs) / 20 minutes pre meal 4 or 5 (60g carbs)

I may dose it with a carb meal 2 hours pre workout and see how that goes.

I'm a big fan of AP and have had outstanding results and constant gains with it. I've never used this form of ALA though, and looking forward to see how a 1mg CA from 100mg Banaba works in comparison to AP's.

AP will always be a staple for me for pumps and lean muscle gains. Interesting to see what SS 2 can do, looks very promising.

Good luck to you, I'll be following.

Day 4

July 30th:

1st dose: 1 pill before eating 38g of carbs at lunch
2nd dose: 1 pill before eating 74g of carbs at dinner (late for me - around 8:00 PM)

I decided to skip the pre-bed dose last night as I ended up getting home late and having a heavier meal (2 small chicken and bean burritos)around 8:00 PM. No notable effects from SSV2 yesterday. I was incredibly busy and may not have noticed anyway.

I may or may not be experiencing my first side effect though. I am normally very regular, but have not been so much over the last couple days. It may not be the SSV2, but I have eaten a lot of food over the last two days and had almost nothing come back out. I even had over 50g of fiber yesterday and still nothing. It could be something else, so I will keep an eye on it. Sorry if this falls into the TMI department!

Day 5

July 31st:

1st dose: 1 pill before eating 38g of carbs at lunch
2nd dose: 1 pill pre-bed around 9:45 PM

I worked out last night after work and definitely seem like I am starting to show better vascularity. The veins in my arms and even my lower legs seem more pronounced.

As far as my little regularity issue, I ate plenty of fiber again yesterday and had to kind of "force the issue" last night to get things going again. Who knew that Dewey's log would end up having a double meaning?

Day 6

August 1st:

1st dose: 1 pill before eating 38g of carbs at lunch (can you tell I eat the same thing every day?)
2nd dose: 2 pills before eating 127g of carbs at dinner

I took two pills before dinner because it was a very carb-heavy meal. Some bean and chicken burritos as well as some chips and salsa. After this meal I did not feel full even though it was more than I usually eat. I also woke up very hungry this morning. I'm glad I was in a hurry to get to work, otherwise I probably would have over-indulged.

While my bathroom issues are not necessarily as bad as they were a couple days ago, things are not normal. More TMI, but here it is in a nutshell: I'm a very regular guy. I basically go every morning and some evenings too. The last few days I have either not gone or gone very little. I have tried the last couple mornings and nothing. I am getting some out in the evenings, but not nearly enough for the amount of food I am taking in. The weird thing is that I haven't felt any differently because of it. No real bloating, no cramping, nothing. At this point the impact is more psychological.

I thought about starting some Gut Health as I happen to have a bottle or 20 on hand. I have avoided that because I want to be able to evaluate SSV2 without adding something else into the mix. I'm hoping my body adapts and things get back to normal soon. The good news is I am going to weigh myself one morning and see like a 3lb weight drop on the scale!

Day 7

August 2nd:

1st dose - 1 pill before 45g of carbs with lunch
2nd dose - 2 pills before 140+g of carbs with dinner (Chips/salsa/tacos/more chips and salsa...)

I don't know why I have been craving Mexican food all the time lately. Maybe SSV2 does that! Just kidding.....Mexican and pizza are my weaknesses. Luckily I don't really care for sweets otherwise I would be sunk. I went with two pills again before dinner because I knew it would be so carb heavy. I have been trying to stick with one pill for meals that contain 30-80g of carbs and 2 pills if I go over 80g. This just seems to be what works best for me at this point.

Pleased to report that bathroom issues seem to be easing up a little without having to add in Gut Health or any other supps/meds. I'm very happy about this!

Thanks man! Just announced yesterday. I will be focused primarily on another forum but will definitely be on AM too. I really respected the way they handled the rep thing on here and it made me feel even better to join the team knowing they weren't going to do something unless it was right for everybody involved.

I never got anything out of Anabolic Pump (self experience) , Glycobol and Recompadrol I like (Though they act more like carb blockers for me) , and Na-R-Ala is my favorite GDA by far :) however by itself its nothing compared with this nice formula lined up. I really liked the formula, all proven ingredients (hence I said GDAs they are multiple ones in it) and I wanna see them play out together :D!

What do you mean a call out?

Great log so far Dewey!

You noticing any changes in body comp/strength/endurance/vascularity?

I'm about a week in and noticing a little extra vascularity and leaning out. I usually eat between 60-90 grams carbs 15-20 minutes after taking 1 cap. Either brown rice or OJ/Oats.

Also just got my test trips so I'll be running blood glucose tests as well.

Keep it up bro!

It's interesting that you were experiencing the opposite of stomach issues I have experienced with some other GDAs. It's good that it cleared up on it's own, maybe it's the mexican food? :)

I also do not have a sweet tooth but Mexican food is like crack.

The stomach issues were weird and I had gone into this thinking if anything I would have the opposite problem too. That's the great thing about these logs though; they let us see what people are experiencing and in this case I was relieved to find out that a couple other people were having similar issues. Either way, it does appear to have normalized and it did so without me cutting back on the SSV2 dosage or adding in a supplement such as Gut Health.

Thanks Clemenza! I am actually noticing some subtle changes in body comp as well as vascularity. I am seeing veins in places like my legs that I haven't really noticed before. The biggest thing I have noticed is that I am able to eat bigger, higher carb meals and not really notice any bad effects such as feeling stuffed or getting tired.

Day 8

August 3rd:

1st dose - 1 cap before lunch with 38g carbs
2nd dose - 1 cap before dinner with 32g carbs

Today was a good day diet wise. I knew I needed to get back on point after over-indulging the day before. Since both of my meals were pretty low carb, I didn't really notice any immediate effects from SSV2.

As noted above, the bathroom sides have disappeared and things are flowing smoothly now. Also please to report improved vascularity, especially in my legs. I am pretty happy with the results from SSV2 after taking it for a little over a week now.

Seems like that would be my issue with this product is I have such a low carb diet it would probably go to waste. My high carb meal for most days stay below 40g lol

I honestly didn't feel anything from the SSV2 with the lower carb meals. That is not to say it isn't having an effect, just not a noticeable one. There are some cumulative effects from taking SSV2 too, so that can't be discounted. I do still feel the best use of SSV2 is with high-carb meals though.

Seems like that would be my issue with this product is I have such a low carb diet it would probably go to waste. My high carb meal for most days stay below 40g lol
I could see you not get the same benefits out of it if you eat really low carb. For you, it might be useful before bed which creates a nice leaning/drying effect in the morning. That and when you do have a cheat or re-feed meal. A bottle could probably last you a couple months being used this way.
