• Focus
• Energy
• Strength
• Pump

Game-Changer, Genius, Revolutionary, Next-Level: These are adjectives thrown around constantly by supplement companies, for every product release. Everything is the next best thing, till it isn’t- you hear these claims so often, they get diluted a little more with each new pre-workout released on the market. Talk is cheap- results are everything- is your “concentrated” pre-workout a diluted mess of clumpy flavors, fillers, and ingredients that you have never heard of? Applied Nutriceuticals wants to change this- we are taking the “fluff” completely out of pre-workout supplementation with a concept so innovative and potent that it will be copied for years to come. Want to add 3-5 more reps to each set, and 25-50 lbs. to each major lift- do I have your attention now? Get to the source, and get rid of the flavored crap- get UNCUT™ from Applied Nutriceuticals. UNCUT™ is 90 capsules of raw motivation in a bottle- a pre-workout pill that provides intense stimulation and focus, while providing animal physical neuromuscular strength- accomplished through a completely unique formulation. With Uncut™, Applied Nutriceuticals is the first company to actually pay attention to ingredient half-lives when formulating a pre-workout- and it will truly take your workout to a whole new level of intensity- F^&K 1 more rep, get 5!! UNCUT™ delivers concentrated contraction within every working muscle fiber (and we mean EVERY fiber) to deliver can-crushing, phone-book ripping strength and intense skin-splitting pumps! Your days of shoveling mounds of clumpy, foul-tastiing pre-workout powder into a shaker cup and chugging it down are over- get to the source: pure, potent, no-nonsense: UNCUT™.[h=3]The Basics:[/h]

• “THE” Only Truly Concentrated Pre-Workout- in a Capsule
• 90 Capsules of Raw Strength in a Bottle; No Powders, Flavors, or Fluff
• Destroy Plateaus and Never Have an “Average” Workout Again
• Laser Focus with Intense L

quick stats, 5'9 160, recently hurt my wrist/hand pretty bad, no break but im hoping no ligament damage, gonna jsut rest it up, it has gottn alot better over the past week but I still cannot grip things well.

first workout on uncut was UNBELIEVEABLE......could be because i was my first time back in the gym since hurting myself but who knows. Took only 1 cap of uncut and sipped on my usual preworkout (lecheek speed exterme right now) while working out, I like to sip a preworkout while working out because my volume is pretty high. Although I was taking alot less sips than normal! My legs got super swole, pumps were great cant wait to try again with weights to see if the pump comes again!!! The focus was incredible@!!!!......took one cap the next day for cardio as well and def. notice the clean energy and great focus, no crash. Focus is the biggest seller for me and im loving it so far.


bad news.......forgot my bottle at the gym today, realized it within 45 min and called the gym to hold on to it until tomorrow if they find it, so I will find out tomorrow if I gt to try it again :-( REALLY bummed about this! I jsut got "the isolator" which allows you to do a decent amount of cable exercises without using your hands so im pumped to use that but really wanted to be able to really gt in a groove with this uncut, hopefully they found it!

 

[jimbuick]

Can't wait to see how you like it.

 

[mkretz]

thanks man, hopefully i get th chance to really enojy it!

 

[Obey46]

Late to the party, but sub'd

 

[thebigt]

good luck-hopefully they still have the bottle of uncut...any news?

 

[Obey46]

Yeah let us know if you got your bottle back.

 

[mkretz]

fortunately I did get the bottle back!!!! took one cap preworkout today.....workout was with "the isolator" and the isolator cuff... due to my wrist/hand injury.[video=youtube;ZQLUCZSZwq4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQLUCZSZwq4[/video] here are some chest exercises.

I actually like the cuff better, it only goes around your wrist on each arm and makes it much easier to hook and and hook out. also was able to do kneeling cable crunches.........ok workout, really looking forward to being 100% again.

focus was really good to start but weaned quickly, I think it was due to me getting frustrated with all the damn straps and put the idea that I cant workout like i want to....once i got out of my own mind, i ended the workout very strong, def no crash to speak of! tomorrow will hopefully be a leg day which is all out baby! if not, ill try some isolator back work which seems more promising although more complicated to hook it up.

 

[Obey46]

hah sometimes extra equipment can be too finicky. those look pretty cool to use though.

 

[mkretz]

[mkretz]

[mkretz]

Definitely take it easy especially w/ your wrist condition. Have you had it looked by the doctor?

 

[mkretz]

[mkretz]

Glad your wrist was alright during the work out. Man I figured out that my sore hamstring is a pulled hamstring. Was wondering why it was sore for 5 days. I even did legs yesterday which made the pulled hamstring go to my glute. Derp. Very painful to sit lol

Awesome workouts the past few days! Glad you think Uncut is the real deal and not just a hype floating around. AppNut definitely delivers w/ their products. Yeah hopefully when your wrist recovers to 100% you give Uncut another shot

As far as ab workouts, other than your typical crunches I like adding cable wood choppers for obliques, cable crunches, weighted hip raises and planks for your core. May sound silly, but I found P90x's Ab Ripper X really good for a burn. The rest of the program is sorta "meh".

 

[mkretz]

Another great leg workout today!!!

worked up to 330 for 1 on squat - new pr! - still got more!

245x5
255x5
265x5
265x5
270x5
295x5 - cluster set 1 rep 5 times with rest in between

Leg ext - 4 sets 10-15 double drop on last 2 sets

Leg Press- 4 sets 15-20 - pr'd on this too! double drop on last 2 sets - all reps were constant tension with slow negatives , crazy pump!!

Hack squat - quads were pretty wrecked by now - 4 sets 10-15 double drop on last set - constant tension with slow negatives again!

1 leg smith squat (foot elevated) - tried a greater range of motion and actually touched my back knee to the ground on every rep, didnt need much weight at all - 4 sets 8-10

Glute Bridge - been a while since i did these but felt good!

185x10
205x10
225x10x2

RDL - been reading that hamstrings response better to lower reps so i went with it but due to my wrist i couldn't go too heavy, just didnt wanna risk it, still got a good stimulus on this

185x10
205x8
205x8
215x6
220x6

Seated leg curl
4 sets 8-10 double drop on last 2 sets - also tried plantarflexed eccentrics to really focus on the hamstrings, tires them out fast!

 

[mkretz]

focus was crazy today and didnt need like any of my pre w/o that i usually sip throughout which is crazy on a leg day, i mightve taken like 4 sips the entire time.........CRAZYNESS

 

[mkretz]

also, im stopping if in hope of mroe muscle....still doin 12 hr fast but will rarely train fasted and will always have post workout carbs/protein then a meal then more meals lol, cals will be around 3600 want to carb cycle I was thinkin 360-400 on high days 200-225 med days and 10-125 on low days what do u guys think? Also, protein like 1.5 g bw or 2g? then rest fat? thanks~!

 

[Obey46]

1.5 is good enough protein if you're bulking. That carb cycle looks good.
Looks like you had one hell of a leg workout! Grats on the PR

 

[mkretz]

thanks man!!! so then if i cycle carbs and do lets say 250g protein which is about 1.5 x bw then the rest is always fats?cuz on low carb days thats ALOT of fat, no problem with me though i think i like fat more than carbs lol

 

[Obey46]

thanks man!!! so then if i cycle carbs and do lets say 250g protein which is about 1.5 x bw then the rest is always fats?cuz on low carb days thats ALOT of fat, no problem with me though i think i like fat more than carbs lol

Sorry I missed the fat part. I take back what I said about getting 250g of protein. As you may need a bit more to compensate to meet your calorie goals. Yeah it may seem like a lot of fat, but remember the lower the carbs, the higher the protein/fats has to be. Think of it as doing a paleo diet for a day or two a week. As long as you meet the calorie intake goal for that low carb day you'll be fine.

I'm going to try this as well as my metabolism is super high. I ate about 450g carbs for the last few months of my bulk and didn't think about my insulin not being sensitive.

 

[mkretz]

yea i think i might keep protein round 300

 

[mkretz]

thats still pretty high fat on low carb days though but its allgood

 

[mkretz]

snatch grip rack deadlift

245x10x4

 

[Obey46]

thats still pretty high fat on low carb days though but its allgood

yeah that seems to be what everyone is concerned about when trying it out. I suppose taking in a few extra protein shakes specifically on that day will help get your calorie intake higher.

 

[mkretz]

ehh im not to concerned, i like fat i like protein i like food, i trynot to have too many shakes

 

[mkretz]

legs didnt fel 100% today so i did not push it, didnt do my crazy double drops all over like usual either lol

225x5x6 sets - pause at bottom, explode up - the bottom of my squat is by far my weakest point - i can have the bar come off my back with my max but it takes a while to get it up, if i could strengthen the bottom id be a monster!

banded squat - for explosiveness - 195x3x10

sum0 deadlift - 275x5x6 - jsut focusing on really squeezing my glutes

[mkretz]

Solid workout. Making me miss doing legs right now lol

thanks man....how come no legs?

 

[Obey46]

thanks man....how come no legs?

Hamstring pulled from 2 weeks ago on my left leg. From the glute down to the calf is tight. Still recovering from it, sucks. Though I can still work out upper body, hard part is walking or sitting so basically took a week off. Driving sucks too. I've got a Jeep wrangler, which is a bit raised and got a stick shift truck.

 

[mkretz]

ahh thats right i remember.....gl with that man

 

[mkretz]

today was chest/tris/abs.....felt stronger today did more on incline dbs than i can remember in a long time, but it has been a while since i used to always start of with heavy flat barbell presses but those bother my wrist now.

55x10
60x10
60x8

[mkretz]

today was a good back workout...started off really focused and strong and hit a pr on DL! Also it was at my school gym where any time in the past i had gone there the weights seemed way heavier, not sure why but my weights always were down there in the past. Today however my DL pr still happened so that means its probably even better than what i did!!!

DL - 425 PR

315x5
325x5
335x5
345x5
355x5

explosive Pause low box squat - really trying to build power out of the hole on my squat , that is by far my weak spot.

185x3x10

Pendlay rows

145x8
155x8
165x6
170x6 PR

Neutral grip cable row ( weird angle, its like a 45 degree inclined low cable row) 4 sets 10-15 drop on last set

Assisted pull ups 4 sets 10-15 drop on last set

A few different hammer strength row machine for 3 sets 10-12

pull over machine 4 sets 10-15 drop on last set 0 been a long tim since i used one of these, felt good!


my body felt weird liek lacking intensity after th squats, maybe it was neurological due to the heavy deads and then squats.

 

[Obey46]

Grats on the DL pr! I tried heavy DL before squats and my lower back was just taxed when it was time for squats. I figure if I want to try and pr on both then I'd do heavy DLs on back day and squats on leg day.

 

[mkretz]

yea i never try to pr both no way....i was jsut focusing on speed out of the hole on the squats , low reps, low weight but high speed, back felt good, suprisingly actually cuz it usually does bother me after DLS.........i have been doin them sumo style too which is new to me but i really like the glute, ham activation and seems much easier on my back.

 

[mkretz]

unfortunately uncut is all gone :-( amazing run though, really enjoyed it....thanks again to dewey and appnut for letting me try this it was awsome!!!

final review will be up soon, swamped with school right now

Appreciate you doing this while your wrist was injured. Hope it gets better bro!

 

[mkretz]

Alright..................FINAL REVIEW!!!

Although it was a short run it was a great one!!!

Energy 10/10- i usually dosed only 1 cap at a time and had excellent energy,never a crackedout feeling but cleanfocused energy. I normally need more than the recommended dosage of a preworkout. Clean energy, never any sort of crash that hit within 15 min fasted and about 25 with food.

Focus- 9.5/10 - only reason it is not a 10 is cuz focus xt beats it, but focus xt is also is advertised as a focus product not as a pre workout. With that said, focus is a deal breaker with me and pre workouts and Uncut is the real deal.....sooo focused, clear sustained for hours!!! one day a guy actually came up to me and asked what was wrong cuz i was like staring at him i guess and didnt realize it lol

Pumps- 9/10- this was surprising to me since Uncut is not advertised as really enhancing pumps like many other preworkouts but i got better pumps on this than 90% of preworkouts I have tried. It was the first time my quads ever felt pumped from doing heavy squats, normally only with with higher rep work.

Strength -8/10 - MY strength consistently went up on this product that is really all I can say about that and I am sure as hell happy it did haha, that is not to say it would not have without it but UNCUT definitely helped me through some tough workouts!

OVERALL- pretty damn close to 10/10 - overall just an amazing product!!! Gained about a pound in the 3 weeks I was using it with no noticeable fat gain and strength went up. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a product to help them take their workouts to the next level. And being a pill it is simple to take anywhere!!!

thanks again to dewey and appnut for this opportunity and look forward to using more of your products in the future and maybe being lucky enough to run another log, i really enjoyed it. It was great having people following along and offering their insight!
