You knew this was coming


With the only purpose of reporting my personal
experience - on the same line of my previous and hopefully
useful preworkouts deathmatch thread - here's my take
and reviews on the GDAs I've used, 3 of the most popular GDA products out there:

Slin Sane, Recompadrol and Glycobol

Tadaaaaa!
First thing first, why these three: because I extensively used them
all and I've been experimenting with dose, timing, meals,
and their interaction with other sups (as well as their effects when running them
as standalone) long enough to have a clear idea on how they work *for me*.


I'm a big fan of GDAs/Nutrient Partitioners
is a kind of product that intrigues me probably more
than any other, the reason is - as many of you already know -
my protocol is very odd and the way I use GDAs and what I get
from them is different from how bodybuilders use them.
Incorporating a GDA when in a all-year-round low carb diet
could sound weird, or not worth it and yet, I am convinced - and most important
I got proof - that the right product used in the right way is as beneficial
in a low carb diet as well as during a bulk, if not more.


Quick recap on my habits:
I keep my BF low all year round while aiming for lean gains and strength
increase, I stay in a fairly big cal deficit 6 days a week while training *hard*
at the same time and I do one refeed a week.
This wasn't planned, it happened after time, you cut, you get leaner,
then your body adapts to a certain amount of cals, you need to cut
more in order to get rid of that last % of fat, you need to train harder etc..


So keeping the same diet and the same routine for too long won't work,
after you reached a certain BF I found out that you need to trick your body in order to
A) cut even more fat (or preserving such low %)
B) keep muscle mass and/or gain more while doing that
C) not dying


When you stress your body like I do with intense (AND high volume as well)
training WHILE dieting for such long time most likely your metabolism
slows down, in the end, human body's priority is to survive, not to be a pile of
muscles with 4-5% BF.. So from a certain point fat loss and even more
lean gains start to be not as fast and easy in this scenario.


But the use of GDAs made me understand that they could play key
role when manipulating body composition and speed up lean gains.
Being able to boost calories without storing fat was the key for me
not only to keep muscles without raising BF but as you will read,
but to actually pack more muscle, lean gains style.


Alrite, stage set, hopefully this will be useful for you guys,
I'll get to the details about the products in the next posts,
meantime, keep me company here and subscribe

Glycobol is awesome! Better than Slin-Sane IMO. Haven't tried Recompadrol but have heard good things from various users.

[jwa254]

in for this. gonna be an awesome ride

[AaronJP1]

I'll be down for this because I really like glycobol and I've used slin-sane, but I think I prefer glycobol.

Interested in your thoughts.

[MattPorter]

Are these all unique products or typical over-lap of the same ingredients..gymnema, banaba, bitter melon, na,ala etc.....

Im curious as metformin kills my appetite.

[EasyEJL]

I've kept meaning to try the same, using a bunch of them and a glucose meter.

[houstontexas]

In to see your conclusions. Right now I'm using AI ALA. I tried Glycobol a few days way back when, but it killed my stomach.

[halfhuman]

Glycobol seemed to be my fav. Never tried it on a bulk or high carb diet. Mostly 100 per day tops. Worked great

[Whacked]

In.......good luck buddy

whats in this?
i love need2slin myself

[MidwestBeast]

I'm in. Good idea, man!

I've used a TON of GDAs over the last few years, but I actually still haven't used Recompadrol or Glycobol.

I've used Anabolic Pump, P-Slin, LG Slin, Need2Slin, Slin Shot and Slin Sane.

Interested to hear/see what you think.

Very happy to see this one so populated with friends, welcome guys

Matt, this is the interesting thing about these three and mostly the reason
I did experiment with them to find the best for me and what would be the best use
for it in my protocol: they all have different ingredients/profiles, supposedly
meant to do the same things thru different pathways.
But of course there are differences. You'll see

Not to get too OT but I have to wonder if a guy like you who is uber-disciplined with BOTH dieting and training AND one who exercises regularly in fasted states...would benefot MORE from a product that imparts cortisol modulating to some degree.

Zero carbs + dietary fat along with all the other stressors (named above), I imagine your cortisol levels "might be" thru the roof.:

LeanFX from DS has done wonders for me from a recomp stand point and Im a low carber too.

You OBVIOUSLY look fantastic so this is merely a suggestion to a fellow bro


Good luck man

Heard great things about recompadrol, and have used both slin sane and glycobol with great success. I had a lot of gi distress with glycobol but liked the results. also a tad bit pricey for my taste, but i had gotten them on sale. Excited to see how this progresses!

Thanks bro

You are 100% right, absolutely. As a matter of fact Lean Xtreme IS one of my staples,
you can read several posts I made in here where I point LX as one of the best and most effective
supplements I used and still use.
Not only as a fat burner (the only one I use to date) but exactly for what you're describing,
cortisol levels when you're in a strict as I am, for this long and at the same time you train
with such high volume AND high intensity is your worse enemy.

LX is a great product, I ran it once every other month, regularly at 2cps a day,
I've been doing it for at least the past year and a half

[Whacked]

Smart move

[JudoJosh]

Are you going to be using a glucometer?

[AutoKal47]

Are you going to be using a glucometer?

Right now I use one of them as my staple, but this thread is a report
of the past months experiences and experiments and most important
noticeable results on body comp and also how they worked on refeeds.
So nope

[counterspy]

Curious about your observations.

[houstontexas]

When can we expect your breakdown my good man? I'd also like to hear your thoughts on regular ALA in this regard if you have any to provide.

I tend to be detailed in my reviews and I'll take few days to write down
about them all. I've never used regular ALA but I used Na-Rala, I can report about that as well, no prob
