X gels?

[dougeefreshh]

How do you dose? says 4 a day but only 100 gels?

 

[Woody]

Take 4-8 on an empty stomach preworkout. Start at 4 and work your way up. Most people use 6. Only use them on workout days. And run for 50 workout days (2 bottles @ 4 caps, 3 bottles @ 6)

If you eat before you workout, take them at the gym after you've warmed up.

ALCAR and/or GMS/SL are also a very useful addition(s) to get the most bang for your buck

why is this?

why is this?

From Jiigzz

"It is also suggested to take Arachidonic Acid either completely fasted or 45 minutes Pre-workout. The reason for this is that both scenarios favour the depositon of Ara into skeletal muscle which is what we want (for its effects on building muscle). Pre-workout is favoured even more as eicosanoid biosynthesis begins when a body cell is activated by mechanical trauma, or in this instance, exercise. Ara also has the ability to act as a vasodilator which further solidifies its use pre-workout. Avoid taking with food as insulin will deposit Ara in adipose tissue and the effects of the compound will be wasted"

interesting so i can eat prworkout.. do a couple sets then pop the ara and still get the benefits?

Correct.

 

[LiftWithDonuts]

Would these be best on a bulking diet vs a caloric deficit? How would they be for preserving muscle?

Useful for both situations. It's not really a muscle preservation supplement though.

I personally enjoy it more during a caloric surplus though.

Agreed. Better suited for a bulk. If you're going to spend the money while cutting, I'd go with an (-)epi supplement

 

[LeanEngineer]

Yep. X gels are excellent on a bulk. Toward the end my joints did get alittle achy but if you grab a good joint supp there should be no issue.

I'd personally go with Forskolin.

 

[LiftWithDonuts]

Thanks you guys, I have two bottles coming to me. Would hand out reps but I'm on the app

 

[Woody]

I'm running Epi and X-Gels on a bulk ?

 

[BRUstrong]

Ah, I always forget about forskolin

 

[criticalbench]

6 gel caps 4x per week pre workout..

 

[MidwestBeast]

Yep, I went with 1.5g pre-workout on my 5 lifting days out of the week. 6-8 weeks in length and a nice little run.

I ran that on a cut and it was awesome. Kept me pretty full even though I should have looked depleted and ****ty as ****.

I might be taking it for my cut. Did you feel it hurt fat loss?

Won't negatively effect fat loss.

 

[warbird01]

Nope, it helped me maintain muscle. And I think even more importantly, I think it helped me psychologically deal with a cut cause usually when I cut I'm flat as hell and it's depressing, but X gels gave me epic pumps at the gym even on low carbs which kept my spirits high so I could keep pushing.

ughh.. ARA actually helps fat loss.. hence the reason why you should increase your caloric intake when bulking..
