I want to gie a HUGE thank you to purus labs for giving me the opportunity to log this product. I have heard nothin but reat things so far about Condense and truely cannot wait to try it. Also thank you AAronJP specifically for puttin up with sum bs from me and putting the faith in me to make a great log. Purus is a great company and i have loved every purus product i have tried and expect nothin else from condense.

148lbs, 5'9......... one little twist with me is that i have very low test and was just put on test cyp injections this week for 100 mgs per week, so hopefully i will be able to put on some more muscle now! on the other hand i am ery worried of possible side effects so if anyone knows of anythign to take to try and keep any negative sides at bay, they woudl be GREATLY appreciated!
Training style: 5 day split chest/tris, back/bis, shoulders/traps, arms, legs, repeat
i do a power and speed move to begin every workout then move into hypertrophy type work with reps anywhere from 8-15 but trying to hit failure on every set and will do drops on the last set alot......also, trianing is pretty high volume. I probably do too much sometimes but hopefully the extra test will help
Diet: I am following a IF style diet, basically cuz i really liek to have huge meals lol.....im not gonna lie im probably addicted to food so bein able to have huge meals where you can be a little lieient on your diet is really cool to me! calories will vary depending on activity levels....for exampletoday id id alot of working and also cardio plus weights so cals are at 4500, other days tehy may only be 3600....on off days they ary from about 2400-3000 once again depending on activity levels. I usually try to do cardio and/or abs/calves on "off" days as well.....
my preworkout experience is pretty lengthy, i really have tried almost eery preworkout out to date....I love a good pump and great focus in a preworkout and expecting exactly that from condense,.....i wish it wouldve come a day sooner cuz i was going to take tomorrow off and today was an arm day so the pumps wouldve really shined!....no i must decide if i want to do legs tomorrow now that i hae Condense or take the day off and work .......... damn i just dont know haha.....thanks again purus and lets get this thing rollin!!!
also, i will try to taek soem pics tomorrow night or at least soon and get them up here asap!
[h=2]Purus Labs' NEW Condense: Oxygenating Hemodynamic Catalyst![/h]Condense™ is a novel approach to preworkout performance-enhancement designed to expand performance capacity, utilizing patent-pending nutrient technology and peer-reviewed, human- validated, orally efficacious dosages, rather than merely and temporarily increase acute performance as with most short-sighted, stimulant-laden products currently on the market. Purus Labs® has revolutionized the preworkout category, once again, by actually achieving what other companies only claim: that is, eliciting extreme vasodilation through truly enhancing endogenous nitric oxide production. This, in turn, causes a cascade of welcomed anabolic and physiologically enhancing benefits to athletes of all cloth through enhancing blood-flow, heightening substrate utilization (i.e. better nutrient absorption), preserving ATP stores, propelling oxygen delivery to myocapillaries, and reducing overall exercise oxygen cost allowing you to handle greater workloads (e.g. more weight) and exercise longer before exhaustion (e.g. more reps) .
[h=3]Nitratene™[/h]Inorganic nitrate found in beets, spinach, etc…proliferates nitric oxide through a novel biological pathway, nitrate→nitrite→nitric oxide, converted through entero-salivary circulation as opposed to the more traditionally known arginine→NO synthase→nitric oxide pathway. Although nitrate, as related to exercise performance, is still in its infancy, the results on performance parameters are nothing short of salivary (pun intended)!
Nitrate has been shown to be a powerful aerobic and anaerobic ergogenic aid by reducing the oxygen cost of exercise, translating into lower perceived exertion and/or a greater maximal workload capacity. Astonishingly, the increased work comes without an accompanying increase in blood-lactate, meaning your muscles actually become more energetically efficient. This increase in mitochondrial efficiency (P/O ratio) is due to the reduced cost of ATP (muscular currency) to produce muscular force.
[h=3]Beta alanine [/h]This non-proteinogenic amino acid is a constituent of muscle-carnosine (beta-alanine-l-histidine), however, myocarnosine content has been shown to be significantly increased through beta alanine supplementation alone. Carnosine, which supplemental beta alanine enhances the muscular concentration of, helps stabilize muscular pH levels by buffering the hydrogen ions produced through intense exercise. Intuitively, this stacks nicely with nitrates as they synergistically work through different modalities to achieve the same endurance effect.
[h=3]Betaine anhydrous[/h]Betaine, or trimethylglycine, is an interesting compound found in beetroot juice as it serves as an osmolyte (protecting cells against dehydration), an antioxidant, and a methyl group donor serving to lower homocysteine levels. Human performance studies involving betaine found it increases power and force performance measures amongst trained individuals and was elucidated through these exercise protocols: bench press throw, bench press force, squat force, and vertical jump power. Another larger study concluded betaine aided in high intensity anaerobic training, allowing individuals to achieve more squat repetitions at 75% of their 1-RM with more repetitions achieved at ≥90% peak power.
[h=3]1,3,7-trimethylxanthine[/h]Obviously, caffeine is a widely used and highly efficient aerobic and anaerobic performance stimulant. Its effects are as highly acute and pronounced as they are vast. Caffeine improves cognition and alertness, antagonizes adenosine receptors, inhibits phosphodiesterase (PDE), increases epinephrine/norepinephrine/dopamine release, and enhances intracellular sodium/potassium pump activity.
[h=3]Electrolytes[/h]Ionized salts are abundantly found within our bodies and serve the chief primary function of maintaining specific concentration and charge balances across cell membranes. We include the electrolytes sodium, potassium, and chloride within Condense™ to aid in maintaining optimal hydration status and blood volume during strenuous physical activity thereby blunting a rise in cortisol and quickening recovery.
[h=3]Summary[/h]As with all Purus Labs® products, only ingredients with human, orally-efficacious research are used, AND each ingredient is included at the research-validated dosage. Utilizing patent-pending Nitratene™ nutrient-technology, Purus Labs® continues to revolutionize the sports nutrition industry and offer consumers a light in an industry shrouded in darkness.
