And is this okay with you?

Man, I've never had a chick that I could talk supplements with. How awesome would that be to ask your girlfiend, "Can I use some of your beta-alanine and RPM?"

HAHA, I never thought I'd like the idea of someone calling me an insect :lol: ....then if that someone is Mr Ripped with power-pentagon-veins, I guess it is a compliment :D

Got to warn you though, I'm having a bit of a personality crisis at the moment Shaddow....


....ooops, don't mind my hair in the morning...

Now, I know that I look a bit “thicker at the moment but let’s NOT forget that:

a) I am on a bulk !!!

b) I went from < 50g carbs/day to ~ 180g carbs/day (I was at 240g at one stage but decided that was a bit toooo much - I was getting’ too thick :lol:)

c) I reduced Recreate from 3/day to 2/day (after 2nd week, DAY 15)

d) Not doing any more morning HIT cardio (since …f.#ck, can’t remember :rofl: , still riding to work of course but that is hardly HIT :)

e) Looking at the table above, think it is mostly “good" thickness: :bb2: :D​

..but I'll leave that judgement to ALL OF you ;)


If I had to pick THE FAVOURITE supp from above, I’d say without further thought :

POWERFULL !!!!!! Invalid Link Removed
 
DAY 43

...AND NOW POSTING THIS IS GOING TO MAKE ME SICK !

1st. : suffering from heavy DAY41-inflicted DOMS !

OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK IT IS TIME FOR A BORING "EXECUTIVE SUMMARY" :), SINCE :

a) we are more than half way through the log
b) there are quite a few very recent additions to the stack​

* AP, P-slin: de-sensitization yet, notice increased hunger within 20min of taking the pills, P-slin (introduced on DAY 21), is an absolute sink for the carbs !

* AP on few occasions, taken pre-fasted cardio, went so hypo I was shaking and after 45 min I was devouring everything in sight ! :food::food:

* Recreate: same, no de-sensitization, love the clear&steady energy, unlike stims that let you down with a grace of a smashing pumpkin :lol:

* PwFULL: deserves a separate review :D

* RPM/Drive(introduced DAY 35), as a stimulant kick on weight training days (that was after I had started a new job and my sleeping schedule was thrown out of whack, GRRRRR !!!)

Worked well :thumbsup:​


DAY 41 ADDITIONS:

* Rhodiola

Now, that was AMAZING, I noticed substantial effects within first day of using it.
Happened to be the day I did one of the hardest sessions since the beginning of the whole stack (DAY 41), and I felt like a freakin’ bomb after it! Invalid Link Removed

So much I went for an extra 15min of HIT cardio!!! :dance::dance::dance: Crazy stuff !!! :hammer::hammer::hammer:

Bottom line for Rhodiola: decreased both physical and mental fatigue, Endurance went up to the roof !!! Also, increased feeling of happiness (I wasn’t exactly depressed of late but I’ve been absolutely freakin’ ecstatic since the addition of Rhodiola). The later is definitely not a placebo, Wikipedia quote : “Rhodiola rosea's effects potentially are related to optimizing serotonin and dopamine levels due to monoamine oxidase inhibition …”

I only found out about thin 5min ago ! :lol:

Sleep is improving as well, but most importantly I function well on less than 8hrs. Think the body is definitely adapting better to a changed biorhythm and resulting stress (different sleeping/waking hours and later workouts), and is quite capable of taking more training-related bashing with a BIG SMILE ! :D


* Astaxanthin: for those of you who may not know…

Wikipedia quote : “A is a carotenoid, a powerful antioxidant; 10 times more powerful than other carotenoids. Research shows that due to astaxanthin's potent antioxidant activity, it may be beneficial in cardiovascular, immune, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. It also crosses the blood-brain barrier, which makes it available to the eye, brain and central nervous system to alleviate oxidative stress that contributes to ocular, and neurodegenerative diseases.“

* CLA/Supercissus: too early to comment, don’t think I need to provide any background info on these


* Nimbus SWELL, comments ?

Nimbus: Swell™ is a combination of Poseidon Complex™, coupled with a very specific dose of Beta-Alanine and Citrulline Malate. The combination of these 3 distinct, USP grade compounds has revealed another extremely synergistic effect that Nimbus Nutrition is quickly becoming known for in the Sports Supplement and Nutrition Industry. Poseidon™ has already been proven among athletes in the real world time and time again. Now, with the incredible fatigue reduction and improved physical working capacity associated with Beta-Alanine supplementation and the ability of Citrulline Malate to increase aerobic energy during exercise (not to mention an incredible pump), Swell™ takes your intense athletic activity to a whole new level. On top of that Swell™ also includes 3000mgs of L-Leucine to improve muscle recovery. Swell™ is much more than a “NO Booster”, it is a “Potential Energy Releaser” for Optimum Performance Enhancement. Swell™ is intended for only the serious athlete that expects as much from a supplement as they do from themselves.

Just as Nimbus says :D

I am COMPLETELY blown away! You look amazing! Huge difference in the before and after pictures. Your legs have so much more shape, and your delts/arms look much leaner and more defined. Incredible! I'm having a hard time wiping off that stupid grin guys get when they see a really attractive woman.

By far, without a doubt, 100%, positively, best looking scientist ever.
 
Great log Dragonfly and the pictures look fantastic. Just starting my own Recreate/PowerFull/AP/Super Cissus stack today and if my results are any where near as good as yours I'll be more than happy.

how much Rhodiola do you take per day?
Click to expand...

I was right, EXECUTIVE SUMMARY was TOO BORING to read :yawn:

Here it is- condensed :lol:

* With breakfast: 1Rhodiola

* PreWO shake: 1Rhodiola

500mg caps, standardized to 3% total Rosavins and 1% Salidrosides (Now Foods)

The stuff blows me away, did 2 cardio sessions on the weekend, I hammered 30min longer than usual (1hr30min total)
I seriously wondered what happened to my "off button", 'cause I was just stuck on fast forward :head:

It is an AWESOME STACK and IT WORKS as long as you know HOW TO USE IT :thumbsup:

I did a hell of a lot of background reading and research before I decided to go for it.

I tried A LOT of stuff before and nothing,

I REPEAT, NOTHING COMPARES TO USPLabs :box: :box::box: :box: :box: :box: :box: :box::box: :box::box: :box: :box: :box: :box::box: :box::box: :box: :box: :box: :box::box: :box:

Yeah, good point about knowing how to use it. I've done a fair amount of research my self that last few weeks before deciding on this stack and with these products it's not just a case of throwing the tablets down your throat and expecting the gains - you definitely need to know how to get the most out of them.

HAHA, missed it ? Maybe you've just been hiding :)

I was curious about the 2600 or so viewers of this thread and why so few came forward (not that it matters, quality is more important than quantity),
but maybe I was scaring people off, with all those weird GIFs :think:

Now at least everyone knows that in reality, I am NOT a DRAGON, or an INSECT! :rofl:

DAY 46

STILL recovering from DAY 41 :eek: I CANNOT BELIEVE IT !!! :confused:

I must have been so doped on Rhodiola Invalid Link Removed, that I didn’t even realize what I was doing to myself :saw:Invalid Link Removed

I’ve done 2 cardio sessions since (which were awesome but didn't contribute anything to recovery), and a gym session (today), which was totally pathetic. I just wasn’t with it :ntome: I felt like a corpse. I shouldn’t have gone in the first place, I felt so run down :sad:


STOP OVERTRAINING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banned:

I need MORE TIME to FULLY RECOVER before I can seriously mutilate myself again with weights. I may even take the whole rest of the week EASY, depending on how I feel. I’d rather do that than have another half ar$ed waste of a workout.
:aargh::aargh::aargh::aargh::aargh::aargh::aargh:
 
....forgot to mention I've been running (more like CRAWLING), on 6hrs of sleep for last 3-4 days.
I NEED MY 8 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or else I have irresistible urges to nap at work :nono:

That's always rough. 9.5hrs has been my sweet spot lately. If I get any less, I don't operate too well.

You do all your cardio outdoors? must be tough in that heat and humidity....
Click to expand...



Yes I do and it is F Invalid Link Removed .ED , but you get used to it, eventually…took me 4 years :D

We have this hill called Mt Stuart here, there is a 7km road that goes to the top, takes 45 min to ride up if you are riding at the intensity of spewing your lungs out :eek:

The top of the hill (584m) is the coolest place in town and there are some rather spectacular views. I used to ride up there 4x a week in my pre-gym days. I remember one particular day in summer (although according to London standards it is summer here every day :), at the bottom of the hill my fancy bike computer was reading 40C!!!
I bought a computer with a thermometer so I could bail out from riding if it was too hot HAHA, but for some reason :fool2: I decided to ride up the hill that day.
I have no idea how high was the humidity but it felt like a freakin’ sauna (so probably ~80%) !!!
I feared my brain was going to melt down and start pouring through my ears and nostrils Invalid Link Removed, come to think of it, the grey matter must have overheated ‘cause no person in their RIGHT MIND would have kept going! :confused:

I thought if I make it to the top alive then I’m indestructible ! Invalid Link Removed :head:
The bike suffered too, got corrosion marks from all the dripping sweat !
Anyways, when I got to the top (584m), after 55 min of torture, the bike thermometer read 23C!!! I soooooo did not want to descend back in HELL ! Invalid Link Removed


the "rather spectacular views" :rofl:
