Over on bb.com, I've been logging my 3 day sample of Designer Supplements Adrenalean. I haven't seen too much feedback for this stuff over here on AM, so I figured I'd post up a bit of a review thread for the folks over here. Anyways, I'll just cut and past what I've got over there for now...
Thanks to DS for the Adrenalean samples. I'm quite the stimulant junkie, and am always looking for new ones to play with. I'll start the thread off with some info about myself, and a bit of a supplement "resume".
AGE: 26
Height: 5-10
Weight: ~185
Personal Background/Experience: I began training in high school for football and cross country. I was a distance runner, and trained mainly for endurance. Freshman year of college I really began to change my training protocol and adopted more of a powerlifting routine. Currently, my goals have evolved to a more of a constant recomp. I'm more interested in maintaining a good physique and healthy lifestyle than achieving the really heavy lifts.
Education: Currently have a BS in Exercise Science, an MS in nutrition, and am in my 3rd year of medical school.
Diet: My diet is typically right around the 40 carbs/35 protein/25 fat ratio. I tweak it every once and a while depending on how my body responds to the current training protocol. If I'm dieting, I'll usually lower the carbs a bit and increase the protein/fat numbers while lowering total calories within a couple hundred of maintenance.
Current Routine:
Monday: Back
Tuesday: Chest/Abs
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Shoulders/Abs
Sat: Biceps/Triceps
Sun: off
Cardio around 4-5 days per week, right after resistance training.
Current Supplements:
Whey protein
Multivitamin
Fish oil
Sesamin oil
Creatine
Clear Edge
Whatever caffeine/stimulant I grab in the morning.
I've got quite a bit of experience with both OTC (supplement) and pharmaceutical stimulants.
