Kenpoengineer Sleeps While Lifting Hard! Formutech Recover ZMA

[kenpoengineer]

Really, did you really think that I was sleeping while lifting? Kidding. Thanks for joining in. In the following pages is my 30 day log of Formutech's Recover ZMA. Here is my final review:

Big thank you to CSWALCZAKNY for providing a bottle to log. I've included some details about the product below.



I was skeptical about such a simple product as Recover ZMA. After 30 days use I'm a believer!

Sleep:
Sleep rebuilds muscle and this stuff works well in that department. Had consistently good nights of sound sleep during the entire log. Woke up refreshed and not a bit groggy.

Workout Quality
If you sleep well you rebuild muscle and are able to have quality workouts. I had 16 new PRs while on this supplement. I couldn't believe it myself as I thought I would become immune to its effects! Well you can't argue with science!

Thanks again for looking and "get some great sleep so you can lift something heavy"!!!!

nice volume there! I usually do burnouts with leg extension on leg day. squats get me so winded!!

I slept like a log last night. Took Recover ZMA at around 9 PM and hit the bed at 10. No dreams this night just sleep. Woke this morning feeling really good and rested. DOMS from leg volume yesterday is lower than expected.

Boxer's Workout this morning.

Crunches, leg lifts, timed speed bag sets, inchworms and timed heavy bag. HR was up to the max during heavy bag. These drills will kick your butt!

nice, high intensity workouts are killer. I'm getting some more recover zma in shortly I've been out for a while and really feel the difference.

[kenpoengineer]

I'm really liking Recover ZMA. Slept so hard last night, didn't wake up one time and that's unusual for me. Woke up again a little groggy but able to shake it off pretty easily. Feeling rested and restored.

This Recover ZMA is still giving me great sleep. I think this could replace melatonin as far as a sleeping aid. Feeling rested and restored again this morning.

With all my heavy lifts normally i want a recovery day but I feel good. DOMS is low. I'm attributing this to Recover ZMA.

[kenpoengineer]

Big and boring workout. Recover ZMA still knocking me out for the night. I figured I would build up a tolerance by now but not happening. Still feeling good upon waking.
