First I would like to thank Palo Alto Labs for choosing me to be a tester for their Incarnate product.
Here's a description of Incarnate -
Ever wondered what makes world class athletes as explosive, massive and dominating as what they are? The simple answer is a much higher ratio of explosive fast twitch muscle fibers to endurance driving slow twitch muscle fibers compared to the average or good athlete. It's a cold hard fact that only 1% of people are born with the genetics to be a pro-athlete or competitive bodybuilder. This elite group was born with a significantly higher percentage of fast twitch muscle fibers, allowing them to get stronger, run faster and put on leaner, denser muscle than you.
Unfortunately we don't have the ability to change our own genetics, but we certainly have the ability to dramatically enhance them and force them to perform at their absolute peak levels. If you've ever felt that you were overmatched by other bodybuilders or athletes because of "better genetics", then listen up. Now is the time to finally level the playing field. Introducing INCARNATE, the ground-breaking new product designed to radically augment explosive performance, promote extreme muscle growth, strength and endurance while encouraging joint, ligament and muscle recovery through the Introduction of KETOSTERONES and the substantial boosting of Carnosine levels in fast twitch muscle fibers.
Fast twitch muscle fibers are the explosive power plants in our muscles that allow us to pack on ultra dense muscle quickly or outrun another player down the field. The greater the ratio of fast twitch fibers to slow twitch fibers determines how powerful and muscular we can become. The ultimate goal of people with normal genetics must be to train their existing levels of Fast Twitch fibers to their peak levels. The ability to effectively train our muscles is greatly controlled by the Carnosine levels in these muscles. Increased levels of Carnosine in fast twitch muscle fibers act as buffers and aid in dramatically slowing down metabolic acidosis which is the leading cause of muscle fatigue - the killer of the intensity and duration of your workout sessions.
Step 1: Fast-Twitch Muscle Amplifier
Incarnate saturates your existing fast twitch muscle fibers with Carnosine, delaying metabolic acidosis (the biological process behind muscle fatigue) which allows you to train at much higher intensity levels and for much longer duration. Two recent clinical studies have shown that supplementation with the key components of incarnate enables athletes to increase strength by more than 70% compared to creatine while increasing maximum workload and intensity by more than 16%.Another clinical study of Carnosine supplementation versus Creatine supplementation has shown that Carnosine boosting of fast twitch muscle fibers produces 300% greater gains in lean muscle mass compared to creatine alone.
So what does this all mean? In short, use of Incarnate will translate to amazing gains in size, strength and explosive power. It also guarantees the end of Creatine as we know it. Creatine was incredible discovery for bodybuilding, but its had its day. Incarnate and Carnosine Supplementation has made creatine a relic of the past.
Step 2: Anabolic Activator - Stimulates Joint & Ligament Recovery
Incarnate introduces KETOSTERONES, a potent steroidal like compound, that stimulates anabolic activity and produces increased muscle growth, all the while promoting an ideal environment for ligament, tendons, bone tissue and joint support and repair.
When training with Incarnate you will be able to train longer, push your body through exhaustion and pump out those extra reps that you could never do before. Incarnate will help you break through those infuriating training plateaus by allowing you to blast through fatigue and train longer and harder. So now you're rapidly building more muscle mass and power, but what about those little connectors that we call joints, tendons and ligaments? Injuries are the black sheep of sports... leaving you on the sideline and keeping you from the iron or playing field for days, even weeks. Unfortunately, muscle fiber grows faster and stronger than the fragile ligaments and tendons that bind muscles together in order to provide us with complex movement. Incarnate employs the introduction of KETOSTERONES into your body to make it a fortress.
KETOSTERONES are potent steroidal like compounds that stimulate anabolic activity, but unlike anabolic steroids, KETOSTERONES actually help to nourish your valuable ligament, tendons, bone tissue and joints. Incarnate promotes an environment for optimal health of joints, ligaments, and cartilage. What makes these KETOSTERONES so special is that they not only promote joint health but they also have anabolic properties that will help drive testosterone levels allowing you pack on lean dense mass. KETOSTERONES are exclusively found in Cissus Quadrangularis and Incarnate use an extremely potent version standardized to 20% KETOSTERONES.
With Incarnate those aches and pains you feel in your muscle and joints will be a thing of the past. Now you can train harder than ever and have the back up you need. Pack on pounds and pounds of lean dense muscle mass and never worry again about the pain that follows those sweat drenched work outs because Incarnate has your back.
Once you train with Incarnate you will never train with another strength and recovery product again!!!
With Incarnate you will experience:
Dramatic Increases in Explosiveness & Raw Strength
Significant Lean Muscle Gains
Increased Intensity & Capacity During Workouts
Stronger, Healthier Joints & Ligaments
Substantially Decreased Muscle Fatigue
- My goal for this run is to increase stength and size. I just came of a 12 week diet and while I did lose bodyfat, I also lost size and strength.
For measuring stength increases, I've chosen the following movements to measure before and after:
1. BB Bench Press
2. Sumo Deadlift
3. Weighted Dips
4. Weighted Chin-Ups
I workout alone, so I will not be doing a 1 rep max, but will be doing a 5 rep max for these 4 exercises. I know some of you noticed that I didn't have squats as an exersise to measure. I pulled a groin muscle about 6 months ago and it's still bothering me. I play a lot of basketball and football so I probably haven't gave it proper time to heal, but it is getting better. It really doesn't bother to much now except when I try to go heavy on squats and lunges. So during my workouts, I will be doing legs, but not heavy.
As far as workouts go, I was digging through my filing cabinet full of old routines and found one that I have done a couple of times in the past few years but haven't done it recently. It's called Power/Rep Range/Shock or P/RR/S for short. It's was created by Eric Broser or GOPRO. I always had success with this routine and thought I would give it a try since I haven't used in the last year. Also the core routine goes from 1 week being Power, the next being Rep Range and the last being Shock. This alternates for a total of 9 weeks. Since I'm focusing on strength, I'm altering the routine to Power/Rep Range/Power/Shock.

Supplements I'll be taking during this run will be limited so I can give Incarnate a fair judgement.
List includes:
Whey Protein
Creatine
Fish Oil
Multi Vitamin
Occasional Pre-W/O supplement when needed (more than likely RPM)
That's basically the breakdown, I'll post other relative #'s shortly.
