Hey guys,

Heard too many good things about Poseidon complex to ignore it - just placed an order from NP.

So I need a little help to fit it into my training & supplementation programme.

My current supps: PSlin (preWO), AP, Mono, PFull and usually some sort of stim.

Im thinking of adding Posiedon:

1)with my PSlin meal (early AM) about 1.5 hrs preWO
2) post WO shake
3) before bed

Does this look OK? or should I have a scoop periWO with my BCAAs?

And what about non-WO days - just wake and bedtime doses?

Any help greatly appreciated fellas.

Your outlined plans looks good. You may want to add another dose in with your bcaa's to sip on during your workouts though(as you mentioned). Those two go really good for some reason.:D

As for non workout days, just stick to a standard morning dose, a dose to sip on mid/through out the day, and night dose and you should see some great benefits from utilizing Poseidon.

Make sure to keep us informed my friend. We are always interested in customer feedback.:thumbsup:
 
Looks good to me! :D


Also, you may want to start with half scoops at each of those times as the magnesium content can cause stomach discomfort and you may need to ease into it..
 
Much appreciated fellas - It takes roughly 7-10 days to get stuff sent out here.

Im doing a lot of high-intensity supersets with short recovery, so Im thinking this will give me the edge.

I'll keep you all posted with my thoughts and progress.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback.:thumbsup:
 
Would be keen to hear your feedback. I love this product and find that it works great with BCAA's / EAA's and often carbs pre and peri workout. I use a scoop with relatively low dose amino's ( 5-8 g ) pre and then another scoop with them intra and find this a great combination for recovery and performance.

Poseidon is a very versatile supplement. I have been using it for almost a year now and am still finding new ways to reap the benefits. I think it is definitely worth experimenting with dose timings to find what works best for you.
 
Team Poseidon -

Product has arrived to Australia - I've had study/exams this week without workouts, but I started taking it immediately.

1 scoop gave that 'blushing' feeling - I like the flush. It would be a good combo with BA, as I like the tingles too.

Anyway, I run at a high body temp for some reason - especially when I sleep. I can wake up in sweats no matter how cold it is.

Ive found the pre-sleep dose mitigates some of the effects of waking mildly dehydrated.

Also, the wake up dose kick start me straight away. I was getting up at 4am to cram for exams yesterday, and boof! Straight into it, focussed - and it was as cold as a witches t^tty too!

Got my first WO tommorrow, so look forward to see how things run.

I have no stomach sensitivity issues, is there any point/benefits to multiple scoops pre, peri or post WO?

Thanks for the feedback so far and glad you really like it!

Just play around with the doses around your workout to see what you like best. I personally get an added boost pre and i like it during to replenish electrolytes as i lift.

PS take it with BA on an empty stomach and enjoy :D

Thanks Bolt - do you stick to the 1 scoop protocol, or bump it up some?
 
Poseidon is some great stuff and you can definitely benefit from higher dosing. With that said its best to find your sweet spot with it depending on daily activity levels and such.

I've been so impressed with Poseidon, Ive just brought some Swell on special - that's a good price guys!

Really glad you are enjoying it man! Swell is some great stuff as well. Poseidon has been really impressive for me during this summer running in the heat.
 
Everything looks good! Poseidon is the one supplement that I can't go without. For a month now, I've been using it with Reset-AD right before bed. I don't use STIMS, but the syneregy between the two is great!

bro, i've been using Poseidon since day one,

Here's my best thread ever!
http://anabolicminds.com/forum/nutraplanet/57938-any-chance-stocking.html

my good man at nimbus prld2gr8ns can vouch for that.

I haven't seen Workin around lately though, he's top notch if ever anyone was!

i love this stuff

:thumbsup:

You know it b unit - Ive been trying it in a number of combos - a staple is on waking before I even crawl out of bed, which is always going to co-inside as a preWO dose - and another as Im hitting the sack.

A peri WO with BCAAs is working out well too - especially with my big legs/shoulders split, and my back/chest split when im needing a bit of extra recovery. Looking forward to having the extra goodies in Swell added in that I picked up in the sale.

Im trying to steer away from empty calories, so my postWO shake is rolling like this (PreBlended as Im heading out the door):

40g whey
20g unprocessed honey (warmed to liquidation)
1 banana
1 scoop Poseidon
5g spirulina powder

:thumbsup:
 
I am a HUGE fan of Poseidon. But here lately, all the new ones that I buy are not as effecetive. Even the color is different. When it is pink, it's great; when it's light brown, it sucks. And yes, I do shake the container... I think I'm going to have to stop buying it.

That problem has been resolved IL. You must have purchased the clumped Poseidon that circulated a few months ago. Though I never noticed a loss in effectiveness, it was a pain trying to get back into powder form.

Anywho, that stock is depleted now and the new batch is clump free, pretty and pink.:D

This is where you are incorrect. The bottle that I have sitting on my Fridge was purchased on Wednesday of this week. It is not clumpy... The color IS NOT pink, and it is a NEW TUB.

The company you purchased it from must still have some inventory of the old bottles.

Was it a 450gram bottle?

I ask because the 450gram bottles with the old batches seemed to have suceptibility to condensation, which caused the color change, and also the clumpyness. I never personally seen this with the 900gr containers.

If you feel the product is not working as well for you, then please I encourage you to contact the company that you ordered it from and see what their guidlines are for returning the product.
 
450g tubs from Nutra... I've bought 5 in the last 6 weeks and all except one has been this way. Although, i can not report any clumps. And plus, the labels are brand new, with some of the lids being different. Yeah, I'll email CS about it.
 
Have had an interesting feature occur with the niacin flush.

After taking it the day after a gruelling arm workout, I got a flush concentrated in my upper arms (I wouldn't call it a rash, but it looked like one)

Another time I got it in my forearms.

Any of the reps care to comment?

Increased blood flow + increased dermal arterial dilation = massive flushing to the body parts that where worked.:thumbsup:

Yep, I remember getting those early on. After a small layoff from both Beta-Alanine and Posidon, I ended up dosing both simultaneously. Was tingly as a mofo for a good 5 mins, and I noticed a few blotches on my arm. Completely harmless though man, just like the flush feeling.
 
...right thanks guys. Wasn't thinking it was harmfull, just curious (as I am).

As mentioned, I got some Swell on the way, so I'm going to be getting the duel pleasures of tingle-flushes haha!
