USPLabs Recreate - a review by flu1d

Original link: USPLabs Recreate - a review by firest0rm (I'm firest0rm on MT)




What is it?

Recreate is classed as a 'fat burner' although I think this description doesn't do it justice, or even describe it fully. It is made by USPLabs who were I believe the first company to bring the herb extract Cissus to the sports supplement market. USPLabs make products which give real gains, and in that sense I would compare them to Anabolic Xtreme. Non-steroidal supplements which do actually do something, not just give you a lovely pump.

I would describe Recreate as a 'recomp' supplement. It's description states it not only burns fat but also helps to build muscle. In fact its description says quite a lot, so check out the link above. It also helps to convert T4 to T3, which not only helps speed up the fat burning process but in small doses the hormone T3 is anabolic, which is what I'm assuming helps to build muscle.


Does it work?

I can imagine most of you think it's complete bullsheiss, a supplement which burns fat and builds muscle? Crazy! I will state right away that in terms of fat loss alone it is not the best out there, but it had several other effects on me which I really liked, and will outline them below:

Fat loss: I had a good diet and training plan, so I was bound to lose fat anyway. Did it actually help me burn more? I think with how it affected my body in other ways it did help me burn a little bit extra. This is of course my opinion and cannot really be backed up by any evidence.

Muscle gain: I ran this while on a low dose Epistane cycle, and ran another bottle afterwards. Even though I was cutting my strength remained quite high and I also retained my 'bulk' very well. When I came off the Epistane I was expecting a bit of a drop in both LBM and strength, as you're not meant to cut during your PCT, but neither of these things happened.

Strength gain: I didn't really appreciate just how good Recreate was at keeping my strength up until I finished my last bottle. Within a few days of finishing I was struggling to get the same weights up. It hasn't been too bad a drop, but it is there nonetheless.

Mood: My mood on Recreate was very very good. In fact, let me try to explain what my life has been like; I have a baby son, and me and his mum have broke up. She's a bit nutty, and I've been getting loads of threats from her and her family, and I've had to go to a solicitor. On top of this my new girlfriend Teresa has 3 kids, 2 with autism. To say my life is hectic is a grand understatement. Not once during my time on Recreate did I lose my temper at anything. I sometimes have a paddy at an innanimate object, never a person, but even this didn't occurr while on Recreate. Since I stopped Recreate I've kicked a few of my possessions around my bedroom lol.

Appetite Suppression: This wasn't amazing, but there nonetheless. I found I struggled to eat breakfast if I took the Recreate beforehand, so had to wait until after I'd eaten to take it.

Cardio fitness: When I changed my dosing regime and started taking 2 pre-workout I noticed a dramatic boost to my fitness, and my strength. Recreate can definately be used as a pre-workout boost.


Final Thoughts

I was very impressed with Recreate in all fairness. I really like USPLabs, I think they bring new and innovative products to the market which actually work. Recreate will do far more for you than those fat burners which just contain a load of stimulants.

Oh and so we're all clear, I did actually pay for my Recreate. Well I'm lying, my girlfriend did! lol. She had a bottle for herself, so stay tuned for my Recreate for Women review.

I think if you had been running calories around maintenance you would have really experienced how good a recomp product this is. I believe a lot of people are missing the boat on this product. I have been able to completely maintain my weight and slowly burn fat. That is an amazing result. It took over 6 weeks but I lost about 2% body fat without losing any weight.

I have to be honest, I never really thought USP Labs products did that much for me, the original Cissus was just ok for me and I got very little if anything out of the old Powerfull. You better believe that I was somewhat skeptical about recreate. As I am in what I call a perpetual recomp situation I guess I was lucky to be on just the right diet when I began taking it. I was close to maintenance and as I had not made many recent adjustments I was probably heading for a plateau in fat loss. Enter recreate where I continually saw significant changes without loss of weight. I was really perplexed, I was doubting what I was seeing thinking it must be wishfull thinking. I would ask my wife who would confirm my findings. Well let me tell you after 6 weeks and I stand here about 2% lower without loseing any weight at all that there is no longer any doubt. Recreate has done something I have never been able to do. I am more muscular by far than I have ever been at this weight.

I agree with you on the fact that it maintains weight and losing BF%. I am about one week away from 60 days worth. the 2nd month I comboed mine with DCP. I have had people tell me that I look bigger up top and I have also noticed a slight decrease in weight size. Not huge, but over 2 months down about 2 - 3 pounds and less BF.

Anyways, good review man!

Don't take what I wrote wrong, it is GOOD for fat loss. I did indeed stay around maintenance level, and I dropped my bodyfat and retained lean muscle. I simply meant that in terms of fat loss alone it isn't the best out there, for instance I'm having a more pronounced loss of fat on Leviathan Reloaded, however all of the 'other' things Recreate does such as strength gain etc isn't present with it.

Yes it is the best recomp product I believe. Best fat loss for me too. Leviathan was pretty good my results with recreate are a bit better. What really freaks me out is I have been injured for a lot of this six weeks and still I get these kind of results. I just have to wonder what would have happened if I was rockin full force. I would have gained weight.

Yes I stand corrected. What is really funny is I have no intention of gaining mass, and yet I do.... Drive and IGF2 have a say in this as well.
