BIGGER, FASTER, STRONGER: Snag's Recipe for a [NATURAL] Recomp, Competition Style!

[DaveGabe24]

Not the products that are on sale but the overall discount is good. I tend to save my orders up and make larger orders to save on shipping cuz I live in Canada. So 15% off 500 is nice savings. Plus some of the products being offered are nicely priced.

Yeah good point...the only thing I really need is protein. However, people are definitely going to be making some good savings here!

And about storms.....you know for sure that I love 'em!!
As Lord of the Living Lightening, and Sire of Storms, I (the Thundergod) want to see some tempests from you in 2009 rivaling the intensity of these that I have sent:

Day 7 Arms/Back/Abs

Arms (first)
EZ-Bar Curls: 5x12-15

Pulley Curls (standing): 5x10

Lying Extension: 4x12-15


Back
Chins: 4 x as many reps possible

Pulldown Behind Neck: 5x20/15/10/10/15

Straight-Arm DB Pullover: 3x20

Abs: 200 reps total

Notes: Ran fasted format again this morning, offsetting couple of cheats last night with the intent to burn that excess off. No more cheats till Valentine's Day, when I'll take my wife out for dinner, and even then it'll be fairly clean (but I know I'll get into some bread and some serious saturated fats that day, ahaaa).. AWESOME workout to begin the New Year, pump was killa..
Yes, on this day my intent is to fatigue the arms first, which forces me to concentrate more on my back exercises. I get some of the best back pumps when I switch things up like this, really feel the mind-muscle connection going on. I ran this format today with 90 second rests thruout until I got to the straight-arm pullovers, at which time I began supersetting them with ab sets, taking 30 second rests between those supersets, then finishing up ab work with 45 second rests between sets following. I usually will do this day in the routine a couple times (with the lowered 90 sec. rest periods) in straight-set fashion, then hit abs at the end by themselves (w/ 45 sec. rests between), before I start shifting to supersets, but I just felt good today, plus since I was in fasted state I wanted to finish as quickly as possible.

New pre/intra/post training supplementation look:

45 minutues prior to training:
3 PowerFULL
2 scoops Jacked
2 Recreate

20 minutes prior to training:
2 TBS Plasmavol (prop. blend creatine/mannitol/glutamine, w/ Phosphatidylcholine)
4 tabs GNC Beta-Alanine (3.2g BA)

5 minutes prior to training:
6 caps GNC Leucine Activator (3.1g leucine)
+ shake (comprised of):
2 scoops Ultimate Nutrition BCAA 12,000 (12g BCAA)
1 scoop GNC Anabolic Leucine Stack (7.3g leucine, 3g creatine, 195mg cafffeine)

begin sipping shake, and finish within first 10-15 minutes of training..

immediately following training:
10 tabs MNT Nitro-E8 (13.3g EAA complex)
3 scoops MRI Anabolic Switch (4g EAA, 6g blended creatine, propietary amounts beta-alanine, maltodextrin)

15 minutes following training: 1 Pslin

30 minutes following training: food (2:1 carb/protein ratio)


The reason for the slight tweaking: picked up a couple items yesterday at insanely cheap prices, utilizing the BOGO 50% off "sports supp special" that GNC's rolling out (+ my discount), made it a deal I couldn't pass up.
So, adding in the Leucine Activator now (which has 195mg caffeine), I had to adjust the Jacked intake to allow for that increased caffeine intake -- especially since I am planning to add that 2nd cap of Recreate (instead of the 1 cap I take currrently) to my afternoon dose.. don't wanna be all stimmed out and losing sleep..
I eliminated the 5 tabs Nitro-E8 prior to training: this just made intellectual sense, since I'll have plenty of leucine & BCAA's to use for pre/intra timing; and, since these (Nitro-E8) are the most expensive part of my arsenal, it allows me to get longer use out of them. Theoretically and philosophically, I believe EAA's are more effective at the end of a workout anyway; I think using BCAA's prior/intra is not only more cost effective, but more importantly, the body will use the muscle-specific BCAA more efficiently. Simply put: EAA in this timeframe is overkill.

Had somebody ask me why I wasn't using creatine.. so I've outlined above the amount of creatine I'm getting in some of the products I'm utilizing. Jacked of course also contains creatine and beta-alanine.. so there is no need for additional.

This timing isn't perfect, but I feel it's pretty darn good. I still don't quite like the 25-minute timeframe between dosing PowerFULL & Plasmavol, as I don't wish to disrupt the GH-releasing properties of PowerFULL; but, I am already taking it 1 hour after my carb-loaded breakfast, and I don't wish to push my workout any further from that first meal, so this is what I've settled on..

We threw up a few sneaky specials up late last night Hopefully you managed to pick some up, a few are still left. The Atomic Meltdown for $10 disappeared fast, and DS Activate for $30 went quickly too. The Neovar, GutHealth, MVP/ZMK and Kreacaps are still up there, same with the Scivation Way.

Also Snag, I'm not sure if I clarified those UniLiver tabs I mentioned on the first page for $15, but I was referring to these Invalid Link Removed .

My thread's become a billboard for NutraPlanet, haha..

Yeah, those are what I thought it might be. On a personal note - not a fan of the UniLiver my man, I crapped those things out in partially digested form, on 2 different occasions when I tried them. I stick with Beverly's, no problems with them. And to explain the cost difference: Beverly uses true liver (4x) concentrate - which is 45x greater than the nutritional value of whole beef liver; whereas Universal's is dessicated bovine with cheap whey filler to give it an amino profile, with some added B vitamins.. really, there's no comparison:

BEVERLY ULTRA 40
500 Tablets
Supplement Facts

Not trashing Universal here (I love their AnimalPak!), but I find that particular product (Uniliver) worthless.

Yep, sounds great and all..nothing I need though





Nice point on the Liver Tabs Snag, never a huge fan of them myself. Could also just buy Lean beef aminos from tp . com.

You're a fan of Animal Pak?? Of all their products, I'd have to say that's one of my least favorite.

As for vitamins and minerals I'd recommend ACES + B. Dr Dana Houser recommends that...and he's by far one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry.

Just kinda thought it was funny that you knew enough to pick apart UniLiver but you like the outdated multi :lol:


Hope you had a fun and safe New Years big guy.

Just looked at this.. without knowing anything of the quality, and still matching up the price for comparative servings -- this makes Bev's look like an even better deal dude!
I'll stick with Bev's, tried & true for me for years now..

I know, I know, I've had these discussions before. I've also been critiqued for my allegiance to Bev's SuperPak (specifically due to their iron content), but here's the thing: these have been tried & true for me, for years. I rarely get sick (1x in three yrs. now), I feel good when I take these, and -- call me crazy -- but I like old-school. There's a reason these two formulas have been around for years.

Hope you had a fun and safe New Years big guy.

Safe as hell, stayed at home & had a few friends over. Low-key family gig. My exciting celebratory parties are the days of old.. :sigh:

I agree there's a reason those two formulas have been around...and I don't necessarily think it is quality or the ingredient profile Animal does have some of the best marketing out their though, can't argue that.

Yeah, I just hung out with the family myself. Not a big party guy either.

 

[Steveoph]

Reps for the info on the UniLiver tabs; I did some reading & comparisons before, but nobody hammered the difference between Bev & UN like that before! So I was going to add that to my order instead... but we're out of stock! [Insert NP link here] Did you buy them all :trout:

The MVP/ZMK deal got my interest; and I try most products we carry atleast once because I like to be able to honestly tell customers my impression of various products. I haven't noticed a difference between multivitamins though; from nothing, Costco, ADAM, Orange Triad. Other factors in my daily life have a much larger impact; and I eat a ridiculous amount of veggies & leafy greens so I think my diet is quite sufficient. I still want to get my Vit D, Zn & Mg levels checked one day though.

 

[Irish Cannon]

I almost bought MVP but decided against it. I think I'll stick with the cheap multi-vitamins. Like you said Steveo, I don't notice much of a difference.

 

[snagency]

Couple reviews to kick off the New Year..

Diesel Test Hardcore
Holy Hell! I am quite digging this stuff.. I have always liked Epimedium, and the Avena Sativa/Trib/Longjack/Maca Root are all familiar to me. This stuff is no joke tho; ingredients are obviously quality thruout.
I am dosing this along with my AP/SuperCissus, 15 minutes prior to meals #1/3/5. I started with the recommended 1 tab/dose, have since gone to 2.. Libido has been raging, performance (in that same area) has been improved and is more intense. Random wood sightings are common, as is the morning wood as well (for you females present, just close your eyes at this part.. oops, I guess it's a little late!)
As for the product's claim of increased nitric pump: well, honestly I cannot isolate this aspect. My pumps during training have been outrageous, sometimes painfully so, but I am taking other products (Plasmavol, Prime) that also enhance this aspect. I do carry around an all day pump, and I will attribute some of this to the Diesel - simply because when nighttime rolls around, I get a second boost of "pump" from out of nowhere, and it's after the last dosing of the product, and well away from my training sessions, and different from the Prime 'wanna-be-flexing' type body pump.

Early rating: 10 out of 10. :thumbsup:

Hahaaa! Nope, wasn't me! :run:

Glad I could help on the liver tab issue tho. I do swear by them; I notice strength to be increased when using them, and I just feel fuller (musclewise) somehow..

 

[snagency]

Plasmavol
According to the company, bodybuilding's first 'plasma expander'.. Powered by Mannitol and Creatine Glycerol Ester. Mannitol (a pharmaceutical-strength compound used in hospitals to control brain swelling in critical patients) cranks up blood plasma volume by pulling interstitial fluid into the blood for an increase in plasma volume..
Again, according to the company, this is the only formula in existence that has creatine glycerol ester. Glycerol allows creatine to be easily absorbed, and creatine allows glycerol to be practically forced into the muscle cell to create a fierce anabolic environment for vascularity, muscle pumps and growth that’s off the hook..
As for the pump, I cannot argue here. Massive pumps, and you can literally feel it shortly after you take 2 TBS of the product. I have taken mass doses of straight glycerol before (ughh, sickly sweet), and this stuff is right on par with that crazy pump. Taste is not an issue, not sickly sweet at all, goes down well. Creatine and glutamine as well are welcome additions. Phosphatidylcholine is a nice add (I'm a fan of this & Phosphatidylserine as well -- gotta build the mind along with the body y'know..), but in the prop blend I'm not sure how much there is.
But I take this product specifically for that glycerol-induced saturation - i.e. the pump - and it delivers in that regard. Hugely. And it was one of those ridiculously insane deals I got.. so for the price I paid ($10), it's a steal. Even at online pricing (comparable to N.O.-type products), it's decent -- as long as you get the 2-bottle packaging (they market this as BOGOF I guess), because there are only 9 servings in each bottle.

Early rating: 9 out of 10 - it takes a hit because one of my bottles had a seal issue apparently, some of the product was coagulated around the dispenser, so I lost a serving or two.

 

[Irish Cannon]

That sounds interesting.

As you know, I'm taking GlycerGROW by Controlled Labs and LOVE it!

...and you just reminded me again about Bev's Ultra-40s. I used to take those all the time and completely forgot to order some more. I second what you said about the increased strength. Those liver tabs are great. Much better than Uniliver. Definitely a great supplement that many people have never heard of.

 

[snagency]

Anabolic Switch
This formula has intriqued me for awhile. 4g EAA, 6g of 7 different kinds of creatine, added beta-alanine. This looked to be the almost perfect fit for my postworkout needs.. and it has not disappointed. Taste is decent, doesn't have mixability issues. I've even gotten over the fact that it has maltodextrin in it.. not a bad thing actually, in this timeframe I'm using it in. 3 scoops postworkout only, so the 20 servings last me awhile. I will add tho - if you're using this as a preworkout supp as well (MRI recommends this dosage, before & after training; and I'll mention that it does contain AAKG, if you're looking at it for preworkout) - it'll go quick. MRI also recommends 2 servings on off days.. ..overkill.. Personally, it doesn't work for me in a preworkout timeframe, as I don't like maltodextrin there (same reason I don't use NOExplode or SuperPump250, etc.).

So.. 2 ratings:

(in my protocol): 9 out of 10.
(as recommended): 5 out of 10. Takes a severe hit for cost/benefit ratio.

 

[snagency]

That sounds interesting.

As you know, I'm taking GlycerGROW by Controlled Labs and LOVE it!

Yep, saw your feedback. The glycerol-induced pump is no joke. Did you have any nausea from that?

..and I saved this for last, didn't want to be accused of biased reviews.. (you guys who are 'in the know', just know that I'm kidding here - you know who you are).. :lol:

Jacked
Great name for the product, cuz that's what it will do.. get you Jacked! Really grooving on this stuff.. one of the purest (if not the purest) preworkout powders on the market. No fillers. No magnesium. No maltodextrin. Just Y-RD, creatine, beta-alanine, and AAKG. Easily the best-mixing formula I've ever used. Taste is crisp, fresh, clean. 3 scoops rocks my world! (Will now be dialing this down to 2 scoops however.. ) Nice handy, small container. By the way, I should mention, you need to shake the container prior to each serving, mixes the ingredients up better, ensures you get even distribution and level effects. The really weird thing is, Y-RD in cap form did absolutely nothing for me (altho my wife really loved it); I wasn't expecting the results I got from it. Must be something different in the formula.. but I LOVE IT! This is the best thing I've tried since Core ZAP.

Rating: 10 out of 10! :thumbsup: (call me biased if you wish..)

 

[Irish Cannon]

Is Y-RD just Jacked, capped?

Edit: just read your post. :lol:

 

[snagency]

And a little tweak on this meal: had some Confucious shrimp egg rolls left over that didn't get made last night, so I threw one on in with this meal. Macros were on: 110 cals, 11g carb, 10g protein, 2g fat. Crust made from whole wheat. Shrimp, lobster, cabbage, carrot, onion, celery.. went very nicely with my stir fry/tuna mix..

Been a great first week back in the saddle, got some baselines established, some fat-loss & recomp accomplished, ready to rock going forward after this day of recharge. It's well needed - having some serious DOMS in my legs today (heck, they were there yesterday), hammies are tender. Feeling the back work from yesterday as well.. but of course I like all this!

So, Hurricane Snag has ebbed & flowed, and receded for the day.. but there are reports of a high-pressure system building, winds whipping madly, lightning and thunder accumulating.. the Storm is regrouping and gathering strength with Tornado-like force, ahahaaaa!! :twisted:

Explanation:

Anabolic Pump is often conceptualized as merely a supplement of glucose homeostasis. While that's true in part, its true identity is one of energy metabolism as a whole; specifically, mitigating energy expenditure and transfer in both fat and muscle cells, via the modulation of energy storage and production mechanisms.

During a long bout of exercise (i.e., an hour long resistance training session) your body's energy homeostasis mechanisms need to take on a more oxidative (the B-oxidation of fatty acids) as opposed to glycolytic (GLUT4 translocation and glucose storage) role. This is due in part to the inability of the body to produce the fuel (glucose) for anabolic processes at the rates needed for anaerobic exercise. In response, your body has in place several mechanisms which prevent the accumulation and synthesis of triglycerides and lipids, and release them into the bloodstream to be oxidized.

These lipolytic processes actually contribute to the majority of energy transaction in a bout of anaerobic exercise - the oxidation of fatty acids and plasma triglycerides, primarily, provide the energy for resistance training.

The reason I mention all this is Anabolic Pump's fascinating ability to regulate one of the vanguards of oxidative and glycolytic energy consumption - AMPk. AMPk works as an essential gate-keeper of energy production, reacting to extracellular fluctuations of various downstream energy messengers (AMP:ATP ratio included). Its activation is responsible for various roles, including all of the above mentioned.

Using such a product in conjunction with fasted cardio simply utilizes energy which would have been stored anyway. The mere presence of AMPk ensures that the liberated fatty acids and triglycerides will be oxidized as it plays a primary role in not only lipolysis, but the inhibition of lipid, triglyceride, and cholesterol synthesis.

In terms of blood glucose, you should have circulating plasma levels which are enough to stave off hypoglycaemia, even with the use of Anabolic Pump. As carbohydrates have not been ingested, the presence of Insulin (the main inducer of hypoglycemia) is not necessarily present. Anabolic Pump works through Insulin-reactive, though not dependent, pathways of energy metabolism. The lipolytic role is also enough to provide ample energy.

USPLabs AnabolicPump™ - 1 to 2 caps as needed
USPLabs Recreate™ - 1 to 2 caps as tolerated
SuperCissus Rx™ - 1g cap x 2

Explanation:

What annoys me, is i so want to use anabolic pump, a year ago i bought to bottles, i was half way through the first one, and i got bad flu, so i had to stop, then when i restarted i got the most terrible bad stomach, not naseau, but terrible pains, vomitting, sweating, and increased heart rate, i took it 3 times, and each time was worse than the time before, the only explanation is that once opened, do the capsules degrade, or cause the ingredients to degrade? Its a shame, i gave the other bottle to my brother who liked it and bought more, do you have any theories mullet?

Perhaps you want to post the recipe for how to make that eggroll?

Actually that was a pre-made concoction, that's why I said it was a 'Confucious' egg roll - no slant on the origin of the delicacy (..but yes, the pun there was intended back to you Sam! )

I do make homemade egg rolls, maybe I can lay out a recipe at some point. My time to be available on here is going to be dwindling tho unfortunately, very soon, so we'll see what time allows..

Well Berberine [can] cause peristalsis, RR. This is a rhythmic relaxation and contraction of smooth muscle - i.e., vomiting and forceful excretion of the bowels. Much like many compounds, at lower standardizations, Berberine is used to combat nausea, diarrhea, and so on due to its anti-microbial effect. However, at our standardization, it may induce these effects; this is similar to compounds such as desoxymethamphetamine being used to promote focus and attenuate mental stimulation when used properly, in therapeutic doses; but causing jitteriness and overstimulation when abused in recreational circumstances.

I know some have used a probiotic with AP to combat this effect, but I do not feel comfortable suggesting it to you again with your side-effects!

Mullet, it's either desoxyephedrine or methamphetamine Not desoxymethamphetamine. That would be methylmethamphetamine

Oops, I meant dextroamphetamine. No need for the **** , though.

Desoxyn (brand name meth) is used to calm and focus those with ADHD. It actually has the least number of reported sides.

Thanks very much, i had a feeling it might be the berberine, as i could taste it very strongly, what i have decided to do is purchase one more bottle to give it a try, as you and a few others rate it very highly, i say a few, just meaning the guys im friendly with here, they all speak of it very highly, so i will see, and just hope i dont get those effects again.
