Kenpo gets Stimul8'd

[kenpoengineer]

First off a big "thank you" to Finaflex for picking me as a beta tester for their new PWO called Stimul8. The tub I received is enough for a couple of weeks testing and is apple blast flavored.

This is my first day of testing. I lift in the morning so I'm always looking for a good PWO. I'm stim tolerant and have tried/used 12 different ones over the years including Ignite 2.

I took my first dose (directions say 1 heaping scoop which measured at approx a heavy 1/2 teaspoon) with 8 oz water about 15 mins before workout. I train with a HR monitor so as to start my next set at optimum HR decrease.

Smell reminded me of a Jolly Rancher. Taste was perfect with no after-taste. Mixed well with no residual powder left.

At 15 mins no effect, same for 30 mins. At 45 I noticed HR was climbing and taking longer to drop. At 45 mins .... Holy Mother of God! This is the most intense feeling I've ever had from a PWO. Nose running like a faucet, sweating more than usual, HR up and feeling invincible.

Decline BB Bench
195x8
215x6
235x4
250x3 PR!!! What?!

Spider Curls
70x8
90x8
100x10 PR for reps! What?!

Hammer DB Press
80x8x3 PR for reps! Unbelievable!!

I ran out of time but felt I could go on forever! Measured BP right after workout 144/90 and 45 mins after it was 131/86. My normal is 116/67.

Tomorrow will dose 1/2 scoop. Guys, this is some powerful stuff!!

That's the engineer in me! I'm telling you Steve that with Stimul8 I'm going to be killing some weights in the next few weeks (loading up on joint support of course and being safe).

 

[iparatroop]

This stuff sounds like it packs a major punch.

 

[snagencyV2.0]

[kenpoengineer]

This stuff sounds like it packs a major punch.

I'm genuinely amazed with Stimul8! You've got to try this. Major punch is an understatement!

Agree. J3D used to leave me lifeless. Lol. Another side was the inability to have "full flow" while urinating. MM does this to me. No issues at all with Stimul8.

 

[MrKleen73]

When you want to take the MM or other stims that do that to you get some Nettle Root extract NOTHING does better for it. Saw Palmetto, has been proven not to do much for it and it actually has a higher affinity to breast tissue, as a matter of fact the Grow Bust type pills for women are simply high doses of Saw Palmetto, scary it is one of the most used ingredients for prostate support when studies show it is ineffective and worse has negative effects on gyno and sex drive.

Thanks Kleen. I did not know this, and sadly have been supplementing with it. Shiiiiiit!

My TRT Dr actually puts saw palmetto in the arimidex caps he prescribes...this is a reason I never have filled a prescription.

Insane numbers on the spider curls brother!! Nice work!

Reggie, thanks but I'm thinking I might be executing them incorrectly. I'm going to research for a video later.

 

[Montego1]

They should be called praying mantis curls if you do them with a reverse grip. Training in the heat can be tricky. I don't understand how people can do it in Texas...it was 103 yday!

If you are doing spider curls correctly that is beast mode. Even if not damn good numbers!

Sorry Ken and thanks Kleen

 

[kenpoengineer]

I felt that there was no way that I could have spider curled more weight than Reggie! He has 17+ inch biceps and mine are only 14+. I was right! I'm bringing the bar up and to the chest and proper form is to the neck. Thanks guys for the help.

Smashing the deads. Quick observatiion here. Over the last couple weeks I've notice your lack of motivation... Think it might be time for a break to get the mind and body on the same page?

Agree with you Monte. I'm thinking it's time to take a break for a week and get my passion back. July 4th weekend will be heading to Niagara Falls area for anniversary (wife and I were married about 10 feet from the edge of the American Falls). Thanks brother for pointing this out.

Good stuff on the much needed break, and where does one make the donations?
