Hi Everyone,
I tried Anabeta a few months ago and it was the only strength-building supplement that has ever worked for me. I found that it made me able to eat a lot more without gaining fat, gave me an increase in strength, and made me look leaner and stronger despite doing way too much late-night snacking. The only disappointment was that I aggravated an old hernia repair after three weeks and had to finish my run without any lifting while I waited to see if I had reherniated or not (turned out I didn't...yay). Now I am starting my second bottle, and I am planning to take my diet much more seriously. I am currently living in Taiwan and recently got engaged. I will be taking my wedding pictures in about four weeks (I don't know if this tradition is popular anywhere else in the world, as I have never been married before...but I think it's not a common thing in the states). I thought that was a good enough reason to get serious about this and really see what it could do. Today is my first day back on it and I am excited. I am always using BCAAs when I work out, but I have taken a couple of weeks off everything else. Now I am starting the following:
-Anabeta-4 pills/day
-CEE- 3~4 grams/day (mixed with BCAAs on workout days)
-iForce Maximize V2- about 0.25 scoops pre-workout (I stopped drinking coffee last year and am now VERY sensitive to stims so this dose gets my amped up)
-Citrulline Malate- 3-5 grams mixed with the MV2 preworkout (not sure if this does anything for me, but I had it lying around from years ago so why not?)
-Yellow Gold- 0.5-1 gram before any carb meals that I eat at home (if I remember to take it, I still have some slin sane that I can take outside with me and will do that)
-BCAA (a mix of Xtend, bulk modern BCAA, and bulk leucine (tastes better than straight bulk modern BCAA))- about 20 grams mixed into about a gallon of water intra-workout (plus the CEE)
-Nutraplanet bulk cissus- 2-3 grams each morning and then 1 grams of supercissus when that runs out
-Costco fish oil- 10 pills upon waking each day
-Amazing Grass Green Superfood- 1 packet upon waking
-Costco Multivitamin- Not sure if it does anything, but it is like 2 cents a pill
-Costco B-Complex- Same thoughts as the multi...
I am also planning on adding some ATD to this, but I want to make sure that you guys agree that it could be of some use to me. I have two grams that I bought before it was banned (I think it was banned, right?), so I read around here and decided to take one gram and mix it with 40 ml of tequila (I know, I know, but it was all I had lying around). In retrospect, I should have used half olive oil I guess, but at 1ml/day I guess it won't hurt anything except my taste buds. When shaken up, this suspends evenly (I read that androstenetrione dissolves in alcohol and mistook it for ATD, so I used all alcohol...oh well). I am thinking that taking 25 mg per day could provide benefits to me (trying to get as cut as possible while not losing much muscle), and wouldn't put me in much danger of sore joints or anything else.
What do you guys think about adding the ATD? My specific questions are:
1. Is it too old to be effective (about 5 years BUT it has been in cool, dehumidified rooms in the dark)?
2. Would it, in your opinions, do anything for me at that dosage (25 mg/day)?
3. Am I too young to be using it (I tried a test-booster that I still have bottles of before realizing that they are generally for people over 30, so it didn't do anything for me)?
4. Are there any possible dangers/side effects from that dosage that any of you have experienced (I searched and didn't find too many problems, but give me your impressions from your experiences)?
5. I read that the best time to take it is at night, before bed. Do you all agree with this?
I will post later on tonight or tomorrow (Taiwan time...12-hour difference from US EST) with the details of my diet and workout routines, so I can get this log started right! I didn't want to add it to this post, since it is already waaaaaaaaaaaaay too wordy (sorry about that).
