Oh and good idea to split up the doses to avoid the parasthesia. Does it help with your focus / mental clarity during the day as well?
Thanks RRROFL @ Mythology Hour. You've got a great sense of humor bro.
I don't think you give yourself enough credit. Sure sure, it's okay to blame the CL products , but I think most of that was your will to win, especially after a long day like that.
It's hard to give a definite yes or no, but more yes then no, because for myself, really solid focus only manifests in conjunction with physical activity. It needs to be triggered per se. I seem to be more mentally energized, meaning, I don't feel mentally beat and lethargic throughout the day, which is common for my butt crack of a rooster's dawn schedule. But the real focused & creative mental acuity occurs mostly intra workout. I do get pre-workout mental excitations from the WF, but the bulk of it manifests once I get moving.Oh and good idea to split up the doses to avoid the parasthesia.

Yes you would. The full serving of WF CAPS actually feel a little more intense then the two scoops of powder (in terms of paresthesia). I can't explain the logic (or mere subjective perception) of how dissolving drip CAPS can be more intense then a powder spike, or perhaps I'm misconstruing intensity for plain duration.... hmmm... either way, I had paresthesia for a good 3 hours, whereas, the powder usually last about 1.5 hours.Man, I'd love to be dosing that White Flood at a full 8 caps pre-workout ! mmm mmm mmm . . .
Damn, man, I've never seen more pressing for a deltoid workout . . How'd ya manage ? When your tris fail !? DID THEY !? Man, I've got deltoids coming up myself today, just got to have a PSlin and a carb meal . . and an Endorush . . and 6 grams of Beta Alanine . . and i'll be good to go ! I believe we got viking war-footage happening today; and from all this damned pressing, Volcom, I just MAY have met my match ! lol
Excellent descriptions as always, Volcom. I'll jump in here and study up.It's hard to give a definite yes or no, but more yes then no, because for myself, really solid focus only manifests in conjunction with physical activity.

Good to have you Brightside.Excellent descriptions as always, Volcom. I'll jump in here and study up.
Thanks Thunder, and luckily for you, you don't get any of the less desired effects of BA (IMO), such as paresthesia. Some people have it, some people don't.:goodpost: Excellent stuff there Sam. Very good info. And I concur with your conclusions. I also feel it is a combo of BA and Arginine (AAKG: the "alpha keto-glutarate" is best) that is changing my own workouts for the better here lately. I was able to gut out a few extra reps on most exercises this morning. Those extra reps with heavy ass weight are growth-inducing for sure. I'm almost at the 2-week mark on BA and AAKG and the effects are starting to snowball into some big results. Thomas and metroba say that BA just keeps getting better the longer you use it. I used 5 grams pre-workout this morning. I'll slowly add an extra gram until I'm up to 8. I think Thomas used 10 grams (5 pre and 5 intra) for his workout yesterday. So I'm placing another order for another 500 grams tomorrow. Thanks for a great post Volcom!! :clap2:
:goodpost:
I believe taking the full 8 cap serving pre-workout is the optimal way to go. The only reason I'm splitting up my doses is for building up tolerance to the paresthesia, because I'm hyper-sensitive to it. If paresthesia does not bother you, or like some here, you don't get it at all, then definitely go the full 8 cap serving. I'm weaning my way upward to that, but its out of necessity, not strategy.Dude, your shoulder day is insane. Lol. I'm finally starting my log on Monday. Any advice for dosing? I'm about 170 basically and I plan on working out at 630 P.M. I wake up at around 8 a.m.
Also, if you have the time, you mind checking out my final review for Cre-02? The link is in my sig if you are so inclined. (I'm taking you up on that buddy invite if you can't tell. Lol)
Occasionally eh? Mr. Forearm basher himself says occasionally..Occasionally, I like to really blast my forearms, with the emphasis on the brachioradialis and forearm extensors. Today was one of those days.

LOL sounds about right, but i love that sensationi had a friend of mine try BA for the first time and he had to leave the gym because he said, and i quote, "roland, my skin feels like its crawling off of my bones...." and he was scratching his arms and face like tyrone from the chappelle show haha. is your experience similar to this?
Geeez I hope not man. Isn't a pedastool one of dem stool's that pedophiles have to sit on when they get caught? lol, okay okay, I tried..I’m not the smartest guy here by FAR, so I don’t have myself on an intellectual pedastool where people must accept and agree with my personal ruminations.
Painfully so. The first time I took BA, I was using the Bulk Powder. I didn't know exactly how to dose it, so I used my creatine scoop, which I would learn later that it was way too much. I was at the gym in Grand "trying" to work chest with my workout partner when the paresthesia came on more and more intensely has our workout progressed. I kept scratching and scratching at myself until i looked like a Bengal Tiger, but with red claw lines across my legs, arms, chest, back, face. From then I always took my BA with protein & maltodextrin.i had a friend of mine try BA for the first time and he had to leave the gym because he said, and i quote, "roland, my skin feels like its crawling off of my bones...." and he was scratching his arms and face like tyrone from the chappelle show haha. is your experience similar to this?
Thanks Snag. Is it me or do you look extraordinary tan in this avi? (no homo).Occasionally eh? Mr. Forearm basher himself says occasionally..
LOL on Forarmacide! :lol:
Keep bringing the sickness dood! :thumbsup:
It seems most people do. The CAPS are working out great by the way :thumbsup:LOL sounds about right, but i love that sensation
Thanks Shaddow :cheers:Man, you guys have really got me wanting to try out BA!! Good stuff, V!!
Better yet, just pick up some WF! :lol:Man, you guys have really got me wanting to try out BA!! Good stuff, V!!
For the double edged sword effect, I concurBetter yet, just pick up some WF! :lol:
:toofunny: :rofl:Thanks Snag. Is it me or do you look extraordinary tan in this avi? (no homo).
I originally placed the "(no homo)" before the question mark and then I realized, that would almost imply homo-osity, so I had to adjust.
very naaaas:toofunny: :rofl:
I've been using the tanning beds since mid-September bro. :afro:
I can picture that I think. That'd be a good one for fasted 1st thing upon waking training.I don't know when, but one of these weekends, just for $hit$ & kicks, I want to do an Ephedrine, Aspirin, & White Flood pre. I'm not sure what to expect from it, because the true energy-synergy stems from the caffeine & ephedrine, but I'm going to try it once for fun.
Definitely a morning workout. Ephedrine after 2pm = no sleep until 2am parami. That means, "for me" I use a lot of Spanglish in real life, but I forget you can't hear the culturally inclined rrrrrrr in parami, so it sounds like, pa-ra-me, which sounds more like a sushi of sorts. I don't know why I elaborated on that...I can picture that I think. That'd be a good one for fasted 1st thing upon waking training.
I feel like 'no homo' in general is kinda homo in and of itself since this isn't exactly a gay dating forum, but I know a lot of people like throwing the whole 'no homo' thing around. I wasn't gonna say anything...Thanks Snag. Is it me or do you look extraordinary tan in this avi? (no homo).

I'm betting that you will like that EAWF combo. You know I'm taking even more stims and sh!t than that with my Thundergod Lightening Strike pre-workout drink plus extra BA and an ECAY stack with extra Yohimbine HCL on top as well. So I'm tweaked for my workouts now. I'm vibrating across the floor by the time my session starts.

I'm not sure what to expect from it, because the true energy-synergy stems from the caffeine & ephedrine, but I'm going to try it once for fun. Other combinations I'd like to give a single run are
- 5 caps RPM/8 caps White Flood
- RPM/White Flood/Ephedrine(aspirin).
The latter two are just hypothetical ideas, but the EAWF is a definite one timer I plan on trying, maybe even as soon as this Saturday, depending on my schedule.
Sweet! Yeah, it surprised me when I first realized how much that particular grip seemed to stimulate the traps.ive never tried white flood, but i think rpm and white flood would be a tremendous combo. i dont really get the stim effect from rpm, just the aggression, focus, and strength, and then having the energy and focus from the white flood, i think it would make for the ultimate pre w/o boost.
oh i tried using the viking grip hammer strength move you talked about, where it was mostly working the traps. i did that supersetted with db shrugs, and it was intense. it was almost starting to hurt like a concentration curl does.
reps for recommending that!
Geeeze, you're a worse stim junkie then I am! :fool2::fool2::fool2: nice.....I'm betting that you will like that EAWF combo.

Haha, yeah I feel ya (uh, no homo) on the "no homo" thing. I never was hip to it till I came (no homo) on this site, and I noticed it runs rampant around here. Thanks for sharpening my head (NO HOMO!) with the history of the phrase. It's all good..I feel like 'no homo' in general is kinda homo in and of itself since this isn't exactly a gay dating forum, but I know a lot of people like throwing the whole 'no homo' thing around.
