Test Powder+Anabeta+Muscle Marinade

[1ifeblood]

Okay Bro-lympians! I'm looking for something to run for 8 weeks to finish up my bulk before hitting a cut cycle in April (which will consist of Alphamine to be sure). Thought this sounded like a good stack but then I'm not an ingredient genius like you AM masterminds! So naturally, I wanted to get opinions from those in the know before doing anything.

And for those interested in where I came from...this was the first thread I started to introduce myself and where I tend to update my overall progress.

You picked a good one!

Many have reported great gains with the TestPowder/Anabeta stack. A lot recomp on it so even adding extra calories shouldn't be an issue.

You should have an excellent run, sir. Look forward to your results!

 

[Airborne42]

Great stack! Muscle Marinade will have you hittin PRs all day

 

[Mack411]

sounds good to go!

 

[kbayne]

Add Erase/ Erase Pro . Otherwise... nice stack you got there. Should be a fun 8 weeks.

 

[1ifeblood]

Solid! Thanks for the feedback Broman Gladiators!

Add Erase/ Erase Pro . Otherwise... nice stack you got there. Should be a fun 8 weeks.

Was planning on starting this during my cut into summer...here, this is what I was thinking for a recomp cycle:

AnaBeta 1-20
MM 1-20
Test Powder 1-4, 9-12, 17-20
Erase Pro 13-20
Alphamine 13-20

Reducing calories to cut beginning week 13...this gets me through June in which I'll have July and August to enjoy a ripped physique and probably a break from supps until September...then, who knows?

 

[Airborne42]

Solid brother! Looks fun

BROmetheus

 

[kbayne]

I like your set up . Looks very solid. Enjoy the ride.

Nice pick on the stack. Should get real solid gains OP.

 

[1ifeblood]

Anabeta and Test Powder is a great combo.

Getting fuggin STOKED for monday! Got my diet on point and motivation is through the roof! Still recovering from a pinched nerve I had in my neck a couple days ago. Immediately went to the chiro but damn is it sore. I've got a lot more mobility now and the pain is subsiding. Gonna kill legs tomorrow then rest up for monday when I start this killer stack!

Looking forward to seeing what this stack can do for you bro. Sounds like all the pieces are together for an amazing run! Kill it!

 

[jjblacksheep]

Ordered Testify stack myself this morning. Having run AB twice last year, alone and with Erase, cannot wait to run it with Test Powder. Hope you kill it bro and log it or at least some review/updates.

 

[1ifeblood]

And kill I did! First thing I'll comment on if that I've never felt the need to puke after a workout...and I pushed out right to the brink. I had to will myself to keep it down! I dosed the MM and 2 caps AB 30 min pre w/o, as I was getting dressed for the gym I noticed a sense of anxiousness rising inside me until finally...I HAD to lift some weights or I would explode!

Totally crushed shoulders today:

HS Shoulder press (PR 180x3x1):
180x5+2(negs)x3
90x15
Lat delt raise (machine):
40x12
40x10 (slow and focused)
40x14 (fast, burnout)
BB front raise (PR 35x10)
20x15
45x12
45x10
Upright cable pulls
55x15
65x15
65x12

I seriously felt like I had the energy to keep going, but my body was obviously telling me it was enough.

Post w/o pic of swole shoulders

 

[Airborne42]

Smashed it I see! How did you like MM?

 

[1ifeblood]

JW...I took my test powder with my protein shake but only used 1 scoop, later realizing that dose is 2 scoops. Any reason why it would make a difference whether I take 2 scoops at once or spread them out over the day? Should I get the second scoop in asap our is it okay if I wait til about 3pm?

You can split the doses

Loved it! STILL loving it actually! Took it at 5am and still feeling alert at 10am. PrWO stops are very important to me because I workout in the morning...so I ned something to wake my ass up AND get me fired up. MM definitely did that. I've been taking C4 which has done me good but MM really kept my drive and focus on point. Definitely gonna be my new PrWO staple!

Yea brother! Glad you like it!!!

I'm off work on tuesdays so I slept in until 830. Got into a fight with my wife about stupid **** (she's 7 months pregnant) so didn't actually get out of bed until 930. Dosed MM and AB about 10am on empty stomach then made breakfast for wife and daughter so didn't actually get to the gym until 11am. Stomach got real queezy for about 10 min while I was at the gym but I just waited until it subsided then crushed an awesome back w/o!

Superset
Straight arm pushdown w/ v-bar PDs
60x12 / 140x8
70x10 / 140x5
70x8 / 140x4
Deadlift (no straps)
225x7
315x3 (PR 315x2)
225x10
225x8 (grip gave out)
HS Iso row
100x10x3 (per arm)

In hindsight I should've had a protein shake as soon as I woke up then taken the supps about an hour later. Probably would've negated the queeziness. That is assuming that MM and AB should be taken on an empty stomach? Does taking it with food limit it's potency?

 

[1ifeblood]

Oh...here is a back shot for today

Sorry for the sideways shot...didn't realize my wife took the picture that way. Lol

Ideally you'd be taking both scoops pre-workout but some people have split the serving up like that, mainly those who were experiencing digestive issues with it.

K, wasn't sure if the benefits from taking it came primarily after dosing it or if it was something that just had to get into your system...like creatine. Thanks for the input btw...yesterday was day one for me which I did end up having stomach issues all day, but today I've been fine. I might stay on the split dose this week and then start taking a full dose PrWO.

It's a little bit of both really, but for the items for which timing isn't so important it doesn't hurt to take them pre-workout like that.

Sounds like a good plan. You may adjust to it after a few days but if not then by all means split the daily serving up. Taking it with a small amount of food may also help.

Gotcha! I actually went ahead and took the full dose this morning PrWO. I woke up at 4am for some reason and felt wide awake. Laid there for about 20 min before deciding I wasn't falling back to sleep. Can I expect to have more beneficial sleep on this stack?

Upon waking I took some xtend with the TP and ate a banana. At 5am I took MM+AB and went to the gym at 530.

Worked arms today and they blew up like freakin' balloons!

Incline alt DB curls
20x10, 30x8, 30x7
Dip machine
165x12, 180x10, 195x8
HS preacher curls
92.5x5, 82.5x5+2, 72.5x5-drop set-47.5x8(failure)
V-bar pushdown
130x12, 150x11, 150x10
Cross body hammer curls
*I did these but I didn't have much left
20x10, 30x8, 20x5

Shortly after my workout I had that feeling like I was going to throw up. Not sure if that's a good thing our a bad thing, I hear that's a sign of over training. Either way, it was an awesome workout and I've the pump to prove it!

 

[breezy11]

Solid workout man. Improved/deeper sleep could be a benefit with your stack. Test Powder does the same for me. It's most likely the inclusion of mucuna pruriens (l-dopa) leading to a better quality sleep. Some people report the same from DAA alone as well.

Well I'm gonna like that a LOT! Some nights I don't get home from work until 9-930pm and need a couple hours to eat and unwind. If I'm not going to sleep until 11pm, then I'm getting less than 6 hours of sleep. If I can wake up feeling like I did this morning on only 5 hours of sleep...I'll be very happy!

 

[1ifeblood]

Day 4 - chest

DB incline press
55x10, 65x8, 70x7
HS decline press
270x8, x5, x6 (failed on rep 6 of set 2 but set my mind to getting 6 on set 3, and did!)
One-arm low-pulley cable x-over
30x12, 40x12, 50x12, 60x10 (i bring the handle up and across my chest. Really hits my upper/inner pec. Never did these before but I reply like them)
Pec deck
100x15, 80x15, 60x30 (Pumped them up!)

Felt really good today. Took full dose of TP with MM+AB PrWO and didn't have any stomach issues. Great energy and focus. Spent an hour in the gym and could have kept going. Woke up again at 420 this morning but dozed off until 5. I'm definitely needing the sleep now for recovery...my whole body is SORE! And I'm loving it!

^There's your answer! It's definitely a possibility that you're sleeping better with Test Powder.

We're off to a great start in here! Glad to hear you're not having the stomach issues any more 1ifeblood. The regular pics are a nice addition. At the end maybe we can put together a timeline of pics from before to after.

My intention was to take a pic of the muscles I worked that day during this first week and then again during my last week.

Also, to make note, my libido is off the charts today. I don't lack in that department anyway, but today is noticeably more intense. I wasn't really expecting any signs of test increases so soon.
