Kenpo MAN's Up with PF3

[kenpoengineer]

I am amazed this morning. Painting job yesterday should have left me sore and complaining. This is not the case. I feel great. Even the normal DOMS in the back muscles from the deadlifts the other day is not being felt. PF3 kicking in and boom! Hmmm!!!

Wondering if you're sweating more because the PF3 is allowing you to work harder and longer in the gym? Amping up your intensity perhaps?

Thanks Reggie. That medieval mechanical contraption kills the abs. Work it by rolling out at different angles and it kills them! I love it so! Lol

I know of the one you speak of or at least I think I do and your right its an AB beast lol

[chefbo]

Interesting observation: I'm sweating more during my workouts. Any one else seeing the same? Is PF3 showing any thermogenic effects?

Me too. I am working up all kinds of sweat in a very short amount of time
Didn't think it was anything until I read thus.

Today is squat day. In preparation, since I'm always in a super DOMS state the next day, I'm taking 2 scoops PF3 pre and another 2 scoops post.

I'm a fan of machine squats

Interesting; doubling down on a heavier, more challenging day...why didn't we think of that before? Good call!

[kenpoengineer]

This is day 7 taking PF3. I'm noticing endurance, more sweating and improved recovery. One surprising thing that I'm noticing is weight loss. I'm down 4 lbs in 7 days. I'm not cutting calories in any way but I've lost weight in the stomach area. Placebo effect? We will see as time goes by.

Leg soreness from squats is there today but usually I'm walking with legs of rubber. Not the case today.

[Piston Honda]

Thanks for the one week check-in! That's very encouraging news; interesting news also on the weight loss.

Thanks to MAN Sports for selecting me to log their new recovery product called PF3.
Attachment 87708

There has been quite a stir of interest here on AM about the effectiveness of this product. The only real effect that can be logged is muscle recovery.

Because of this, I'll only be taking my PWO and 1 scoop PF3 before my workout, 1 scoop protein isolate intra, followed by 1 scoop PF3 immediately post workout. Even though MAN was generous enough to include leucine, I decided to not use it to see only the effects of PF3 by itself.

I perform workouts on a daily basis in my garage gym. They are generally 1 to 1.5 hours long and utilize combinations of machines and free-weights:

I train with a HR monitor to time when my HR returns to a point that I can begin the next set. I'm a nerd engineer, what can I say!

Thanks for joining in. Let's get to it.

Added 1 scoop fruit punch PF3 then 10 oz of water to my shaker. Shaking vigorously resulted in a foamy head and undissolved PF3. Will try swirling next time and adding PF3 to the water to see if it dissolves better. Taste is acceptable, meaning it's the typical sucralose and acesulfame sweetness we all know but don't love.

I am envious as hell about your gym . that is awesome1

Thanks Chefbo. I'm blessed that's for sure. Great place to relieve tensions.

It's amazing how good of a stress reliever it is

[pete8407]

This is awesome about the weight loss, what an amazing aspect, PF3, what a great supp

Had one of those mornings that time flew by but I was in slow motion. So, PF3 is not a cure for DOMS from squats but I can say that the pain is not as bad as it usually is. I dosed 2 scoops PF3 before workout this weekend and 1 scoop after.

I concur 100%. Like you said, doesn't eliminate soreness completely, but sure as heck helps A LOT with recovery in not feeling a ton of the usual soreness even the next day!

[kenpoengineer]

The double dosing of PF3 resulted in "loose" BMs. Sticking to 1 scoop pre and 1 scoop post. Still noticing recovery is better than just regular protein isolate.

So far 2 scoops post is sitting fine for me....extra recovery is consistently being reported, good stuff

[pete8407]

Tomorrow starts my first day with PF3 and no whey! Hope my recovery is as good as you guys are reporting!

I'm going nuts with my PF3 dosing. Loving the taste; might be addicted to it

still no leucine but allnatural said it was shipping out Monday (which po was closed so maybe the next couple days ) no atter pf3 is doing its job.

Agree with this. PF3 is performing for me all by itself. Just ask the reduced DOMS in my legs from the squats on Sunday. Day 3 and I'm healed. Usually I'm still wobbling on day 4. Lol

You should have it any day I would think

Just replied, got it sorted out. Been a tad chaotic between pf3, email issues, and moving from Philly to Dallas lol

Absolutely. Same here!

Well, except I have been using the Fermented Leucine as well

Your a busy guy! You buy a cowboy hat yet

No iron workout these last 2 days. Finishing that painting job and the workout is intense! The shoulders and lower back is sore. Still taking my daily dose of PF3. Recovery is still good.

I can't perform Dim Mak, but I've seen it done. Amazing! Dropped a 200 lb guy in under 3 secs.
