Welcome to Dancebot 2000's BIG YELLOW LOG!!!
:djparty: :head:
No we're not inspecting my feces after a corn on the cob cook off :toilet: ,
We going to be following my month long journey with Yellow Euphoria g2.
Sorry. I always try to open with a poop joke. I'd like to thank Chris and everyone at Controlled Labs for this opportunity. Despite being thankful to them, I'm hoping I can give an impartial and real review of this product, not just glorify it sound I can get more stuff in the future. I promise to to do my best to give the AM community the truth as I see it.
About Me and my interest in this product
I've trained weights in some extent since I was 15, but I've really got into the past 3 or 4 years and have been very aware of my diet for maybe 2. I am a certified trainer and I work in the supplement industry on a retail level (not at GNC, I'm at the only place in Canada that carries stuff like Drive, RPM, AP, Palo Alto and so on). I spend a great deal of time researching supplements as part of my job, and as a hobbie.
My main career is as a professional performer. Though mostly what I do now is acting, I started as a professional break dancer (well, popping, robotics and animate mostly). I've done lots of videos, commercials and live performances with some pretty big names. I don't really dance much anymore, but every once in a while I go on a tear where I get completely back into it. This product makes me want to dance again.
I am constantly on the look out for one off supplements to put me in peak dance mode. I tinker with tyrosine, 5 htp, ephedrine, and other stuff, but Yellow Euphoria looks like it might be the sup I've been looking for. I'm hoping it lives up to my expectations, which conviniently brings me to my next section....
My Expectations
1) I expect performance enhancement on some level. I'm not looking to get high here. I want something that puts me in top form and fully functional (the opposite of me on drugs). I'm hoping it will give me something if I need if I go out dancing, or if I'm going to an audition or some other reason I want to have a great day.
2) I expect to have a hell of a happy month since I'm taking it every day for 30 days. I'm interested to see if a tolerence developes.
3) I expect to lose a little fat. Some of the ingredients in YEg2 are in numerous fat burners on the market. I won't be training to lose weight, but these ingredients, combined with not drinking at all for a month (since it is not recommended) should cause some shift in Body Comp.
4) I expect my strength to go up. This is more due to my program, but YEg2 might help me get through my hellish workouts.
5) I expect to get down like nobody's business:dance:
My program
My program is centred around dancing. My weight program will be centered on strength, but I will also be doing alot of mobilty work and dancing, aswell as MMA training.
Weights: 2 days a week, High intensity training. This programs basically involves trying to move your weight up each session, using low volume of work. My program will look like this;
DAY 1
Squats, 2 warm up 2 sets 20 reps
Romainian, 1 wu, 1 set 10 reps
Dumbell bench, 2 wu, 2 sets, 8 reps
Dumbell row 2wu, 2 sets, 8 reps
Smith Shoulder press 2 wu, 2 sets, 6 reps
DB seated curl, 1 wu, 1 set, 6 reps
Calf Raises, 1 wu, 1 set, 15 reps
Abs
Day 2
Deadlift 2 wu, 2 sets, 20 reps
Barbell Bench: 2 wu, 2 sets, 8 reps
Wide grip Pull Up, 2 wu, sets, to failure
DB Shoulder press, 2 wu, 2 sets 6 reps
Barbell Curl, 1 wu, 1 set, 6 reps
Seated Calf raise, 1 wu, 1 set, 15 reps
Abs
This program is hellish. It's hard to workout only twice a week because lifting weights is not part of your pattern. And also know that every workout has either 2 sets of 20 Squats or 2 sets of 20 Deadlifts, at a weight higher than the previous week, plus increased weight on all your other lifts on top of that. It blows goats.
I've had great success with this program, but I'm not expecting dramatic results because 1) I'm now pretty much at previous maxs, and 2) this program focuses on rest, which my other training is not going to allow. No rest for the wicked:smite:
Morning Work: I wake up an extra half hour every morning to do mobilty training before breakfast. It's nothing heavy, but I'll spend 30 minutes doing various things such as;
Yoga Sun Salutations (every time, about 4 slow and 4 fast)
Free Movement (every time, takes to long to explain what this is)
Isolation exercises (breaking down the body to get better control of it)
PNF stretching (no more than twice a week, for dramatic increases in flexability)
100 kicks (throwing 100 kicks with each leg)
Light stretching
Light dancing
Other stuff
Dance Training: This is the big one. My roommate just move out, and my girl friend and I have turned their room into a studio. My dance training sessions last about an hour and consists of everything from just grooving, to gymnastics, to complex mimes and intricute drills. All in an attempt to come up with new tricks and physical vocabulary. They are physically, but more so mentally draining.
MMA: I try to train 6-10 hours a week of MMA (Jujitsu, Kickboxing and Grappling).
Diet
I don't go to crazy with my diet unless I'm in a cut phase. I just make sure I eat fairly cleanly every 2 or 3 hours, and make sure I'm taking in protien everytime I eat. I normally drink, but I won't be during this log.
Other Supplements
Nothing crazy; Whey, Casien, BCAAs, ZMAs, Multi, Fish oil.
And now, the moment you've all been waiting for.....
If you're interested in what the comapny has to say about it, here's a link to the AM FAQ on Yellow Euphoria:

Now, if you're reading this, you're probobly considering buying YEg2. As a customer, when I see I lable with a lot of ingrdients, especially ones I'm not familiar with, I get a little curious. I though I'd share my research on each ingredient
Acacia Rigidula: This is one of the superstars in the formula. It is a perrinial tree found in Mexico and Texas. Substances found in it are numerous (everything from demethylated mesculine to amphetamine), but it is Phenylethylamine which is the stand out. It's what is in chocolate that gives it that mood enhancement and sense of well being, aswell as appitite control. It has a hard time getting into the brain however without Hordenine, which is coincidently also in Acacia. Phenylethyamine gives a very clean stimulant effect with no jitters.
Isobutyryl-thiamine-disulfide: Thiamine is very effective for creating focus and alertness as well as a general sense of well being, it however cannot pass the blood brain barrier easily. Isobutyryl-thiamine-disufide is fat permiable thiamine, making it able to get into your head (litterally). I would like to point out, however, that this is basically the active ingridient in Biotest's Spike, a product I was disappointed with.
Synepherine: Common in fat burners. It is a defense mechanism for plants to fend off bugs by making them feel full. In humans it ramps up metabolism and suppresses appitite.
Blue SKY- Nymphaea Caerulea Extract : Blue Lotus. Believed to contain aporphine or apomorphine (a dopamine agonist) aswell as nuciferine. I don't need to tell you how a dopamine agonist can make you feel better, do I?
Rhizoma Corydalis Yanhusuo: The under ground stem of a powerful Chinese medicine pain reliever. It contains numerous alkaloids, the most potent being THP. It can create a numbing feeling and a sense of ALLLLL RIIIIGHT! It should be noted that it can be toxic, causing THP poison (which can lead to Hepatitis), but not anywhere near the dose in YEg2 (just in case you were worried:thumbsup: )
Hummulus Lupulus: Hops. It is of the same family as cannibis, and although different it contains lupulinum, which can deliever some of the milder effects of canninbis. I've worked alot with hops. It is almost exactly the appearance of weed, and has varience in quality in much the same way (for you smokers out there).
Nepeta Cateria: Catnip. Although it seems obvious what this one would do, I could find no research saying it was effective on humans. Not saying it's not out there, I just couldn't find it.
Griffonia Seed: 5-Htp. It increases seratonin prduction in the brain. I've used tis product quite a bit a with very good success. It makes you happy, functional, and improves sleep quality. I am concerned however that it is paired with a dopamine agonist (Blue Lotus). Increases in seratonin causes a decrease in dopamine (and vice versa I believe). I never had success with 5-HTP and Tyrosine until I started taking them at different points of the day. I'm going to trust Controlled Labs on this one, but it did catch my attention.
Bioperine: Black pepper extract. Everything should have Bioprerine in it! Well not everything as too much of it can be bad, but it is a catalyst and helps with absorbsion. It makes supplements better.
Dosing Protocol
I'm going to follow the directions and start with 1, then 2 and end up on three. I'm going to try doing one every few hours (up to 3 total), and I'll also be trying lower doses agin after having done higher ones. I'll be experiementing with taking it with carbs, as well as on an empty stomach.
I would like to point out that I woildn't normally take this product for 30 days straight, but rather would take it only once in a while (once every 2 weeks preferably)
Well.... That's it! Can't wait to try my first dose. I hope I do y'all proud!
