Alphamine/Test Powder/Prime/Anabeta

Nice work. I also enjoy feeling in shape, as you mentioned. Powerful and in shape - excellent! You made me smile with "chicken boobies".
 
Today was tough. Lost some strength. Took BPI "1MR" sample for pre-workout. I would have been better off with just a cup of coffee. Stuff was basically inert. Didn't get much sleep last night, fell asleep around 1AM and was awakened by the smell of cigarettes from my downstairs neighbor at around 6:30AM. Fell back asleep at around 8AM and have to get out of bed at 9:15 to get to the gym. Oh well, good days and bad days I say. Plus I'm stressing over having to go have oral surgery and get a tooth pulled. Also gonna have in laws visiting soon and that week I won't be able to keep up with my log. Trust me, there is no where to hide in a 1 bedroom apartment. Stress and sleep are major factors that contribute to how well anyone does in the gym. Gonna have to take the day off of my surgery so that may help a bit with recovery since I haven't had an unscheduled day off in months.

One bad day doesn't ruin them all though. Just makes me work harder the next time. Rest more, tighten up diet and push harder at the gym. On a good note, I know fit into a Usp Labs T-shirt that previously was tight on me. Body-weight was down slightly last week and strength up. I'm sure my strength is still there, its just hidden underneath weariness and stress. I'll uncover it again soon.
 
Waited too long to eat again after taking my Anabeta with post workout protein drink. Felt dizzy again and was shaky. Gotta make sure I eat a good solid meal after taking Anabeta.
 
Think I may know why I had such a poor workout today. Feeling run down, think I may be coming down with something. Maybe I can ward it off with increased dosage of Gut Health.
 
Head feels super hot too. Stupid jack asses at the gym not washing hands after using the bathroom and then sweating all over the bars and equipment. If more people just followed simple personal hygiene less people would get sick.
 
Had to have protein drink for last "meal" of the day today. Couldn't eat anything solid, stomach bothering me. Hopefully a good nights sleep and I'll feel better tomorrow.
 
Ok I'm now adding in Natural-Efx to my log in place of the alphamine as a fat burner. The fine folks at Fahrenheit Nutrition have sent me a bottle to log. I'll be taking 2 caps three times a day as directed on the bottle. I will be taking two days off a week from using it on my carb up days, Mon-Tuesday. I just don't think it would make much sense to use it on the days I'm loading up with calories and carbs. Plus it will last me a little bit longer this way too. If I was to take it everyday, then it would only last 18 days. However, if a FN rep wants me to take it everyday instead I'll gladly do it that way since they are paying for it. Not much else to say about this product yet, just took my first dose 5 minutes ago.
 
Today at the gym was a night and day difference from yesterday. Last night I got much better sleep and feel great today. Today was a cardio day and I killed it. I had energy to burn. I took a sample packet of Hyper Fx from BSN pre-workout. Also I put 2.5 scoops of Jack3d Micro in with my pond water today. I burned 1016 calories during my 60 minutes of cardio. Usually I burn around 930 calories so that's a pretty big difference. Can't think of much to else to post today yet. Mind is scattered today...
 
I don't know whats going on today but I've got a ton of energy. The only thing different is the Natural-Efx, the Hyperfx by Bsn and the fact I took 2.5 scoops of Jack3d Micro. The Hyperfx was taken at 9:45 Am and I drank the Jack3d Micro during my workout which ended at 11:30AM. It's now 3PM and I'm fully of energy. Took the Natural Efx at around 1:33Pm with a pack of almonds. Did all the dishes today too and usually I'm just too lazy to do them. Wow, what a difference a day makes. Really. Also I always get a bit nervous when taking something new so that could be it too. Maybe I won't need to take 2 caps three times a day for the Natural Efx, maybe I'll just start with 2 caps twice a day. Like I said though I always get a bit nervous when I take something new so...
 
havent felt any stim boost personal from the Natural EFX and i even took 2 last night right before bed. i guess it can be a combo of things?

Probably. Energy spat is finally dissipating after a good solid meal. Angus Rib eye, yum. I think it was just the fact that I took something new and I always get a bit nervous anytime I take anything new.
 
Well I'm feeling stimed again. Not as much as before but I definitely feel a stimulant effect. Not gonna take another dose tonight because I don't want to be kept awake at night. Maybe its the 5HTP?.
 
Confrimed - the prop blend label is correct and was the only formulation released, the Website label is incorrect, and being changed :)
 
Ok well I did take the two carb up days off of Natural EFX and went back on Wednesday. So Mon-Tues will be off days from it. Any I seem to have adjusted to it and I no longer get the stim effect. I do however, get a relaxed feeling from it about 15 minutes after taking it which is nice. Also don't feel too interested in eating much after a dose. So I'm glad to take the two carb up days off of it because those days I want to be able to eat and enjoy myself. So far so good, but it will take a few more weeks before I can really tell how Natural Efx works.
 
Had oral surgery on Tuesday(tooth extracted). Workouts seem to make it hurt a bit more. Was pre-scribed Tramdol HCL 50MG tabs. I usually hold off though and take one to two a day, no more than that. Gonna be finishing up Ursolic Acid in the next 2 to 3 weeks or so. I've been taking it for around 8-10 months. Doesn't do much for strength or fat loss as far as I can tell, but what kept me taking it is the results I've had with it lowering total cholesterol. I'll be switching to Antaeus product for that when I'm done with ursolic acid and when antaeus product is released. Should be only a few more weeks as far as I know. It will definitely be nice to not have to take so many capsules a day.
 
I can no longer continue to take Natural EFX. It is dehydrating me way too much. Workouts have been tough since I've been on it the past few days. Today was the worst and I had to cut my workout short. I kept running the bathroom with the runs!. I was in and out of the bathroom at least 6 times during my workout. Usually I sweat a ton and lose a lot of water so this product I guess is not for me. The few days that I've been on the Natural EFX I have stopped sweating a lot. Very strange for me. I could barely start my workout. It was just so tough, everything felt heavier and I couldn't stop running to the bathroom. In the past I've even had problems with low potassium and have been on and off prescribed potassium pills. I didn't know this product had such a strong diuretic in it, so its my fault for applying to log this product without knowing more about it and considering my own history. Seems like simple logic, but caffeine is a diuretic and I never have had problems with large amounts of caffeine before. So I'll take the blame for this and have offered to ship back the unused portion. Sorry guys. I feel bad I may have wasted your time.
 
Dont get to dehydrated.. that is crazy dangerous!
 
sorry it hit you that way :( Maybe straight 7-Keto? if you want to try something else that should help long term and not have those kinds of sides?
 
Damn pain in the spot where my tooth was extracted on Tuesdays surgery. Wonder how long the pain is suppose to last?. Anyone here have a tooth extracted?. I would guess its highly individual based on how bad the tooth was and other details.
 
Ok finally time for an update. I just started a new bottle of Test Powder. Still running it at 6 days a week. Also started a new bottle of Prime and just upped my dose to 3 caps 4 times a day. Libido is up again. Gonna be finishing up ursolic acid within a few days. I've been using it for almost 1 year straight. It's done a lot for my cholesterol levels but not much for body composition. So I've continued to take it just for that reason. Going to switch to Antaeus labs product for that and it will be nice to be able to take less pills a day.

Body-weight was around 230 on Monday so it's still pretty much in the same range. Strength is climbing, so is endurance. Today I had a great workout. Of note was my deadlift. Was able to get 20 reps today and that is a record for me. Twenty reps at 50% of 1RM. That is continuous reps in 1 set. As little rest between exercises as possible with a focus on endurance as always, never more than 60 seconds. Anyway that's enough detail on that.

Stress has been a bit high because of "the visitors". So it could be that I've used the stress to my advantage taking everything out at the gym. Mind is all jumbled today so I can't think of much else to update....Things are going well despite the stresses of life.
 
Have not got caught up, but no major bathroom trips?
 
Actually I have been having problems with the runs this past week but I'm guessing its due to something else. Definitely not from the test powder. Could be just a stomach bug or virus.

Not as long as I have a full stomach when taking the Test Powder. It has to be a good solid meal though. Nothing considered "lite". In other words a salad wouldn't do, but steak and eggs would be good. Eat first, then take the Test Powder.

Review of LG SCIENCES "EPIC" Pre-workout

Ok this stuff comes in a plastic bottle that looks like a Motor Oil, or some automotive performance enhancer.

"You've Been Warned... EPIC isn't like anything you've ever tried. It tastes like candy but wait 60 seconds and you will realize it's not. It's the hardest hitting preworkout on the market with lots of stimulant power."-Written on the label.

"Standard Dose:1-2 servings in 10 oz of water"

"Insane Dose: 1-2 servings. Pour 1 serving into your mouth and swish, hold in your mouth for 60 seconds and swallow."

"Gleycerol 10000mg

Properietary Blend 3500mg

DiCreatine Malate

Creatine Monohydrate

Citrulline Malate

Beta Alanine

Caffeine Malate/Anhydrous

Fortified Bitter Orange

Rawoulscine"


Ok so I took 1.5 servings(1.5 Tablespoons) and swished and held in my mouth for 60 seconds. An "Insane dose" according to the bottle. I do agree that it tastes amazing. Maybe not like candy but pretty damn tasty!. About 2 minutes after I took the dose a felt a small burst of energy. The thing is it only lasted about 30 minutes and then I felt tired during my cardio. I did sweat a lot more than normal though but I really didn't have any extra energy at all after the first 30 minutes. I did feel a pump in my legs for around 5 minutes after I got off the cardio machine. That was different. Sorry LG guys, I really just have to be honest and I didn't really get much from this product. I'll try it a few more times before I pass judgement though. Maybe its just not for me. Maybe conditions dictated my response and I'll have better luck with it a different time. I'll continue to take it and write an updated review once I finish or before then if I have a different/better experience.


Forgot to say that this product is pre-mixed, which is really nice. You just have to shake it up and pour some in a measuring spoon. Very convenient!.
 
229.8 body weight today. Slow tired workout today, didn't get much sleep last night. Down 2-5 reps on some exercises but I seemed to maintain strength on some and actually gained on seated pulley rows. Mixed 1 packet No Xlplode 2.0, 1 scoop Wyked, 1 teaspoon EPIC pre-workouts.

Well I'm not getting any fatter, so that's a good thing!. Staying the same right now but getting a bit stronger in the gym. If I was to eat carbs everyday I'd be super fat.

That's good news.
 
I'm trying a new protein from NLA Performance called Recover-D. This stuff is pretty damn tasty. I've tried both with regular whole milk on my carb up days and with almond milk on lower carb days. Tastes sweeter with the milk if you like things sweet. I think its good with both, but it's a personal preference. As far as mix-ability goes, I didn't have to scrape the sides of the blender at all. I don't use shaker cups so I don't know about that. One thing I really like about this stuff is it mixes up just thick enough to be called an actual shake. Really don't like the protein drinks that mix up really thin, with water-like consistency. As far as I'm concerned those products can't be called a "Shake". The thickness also helps with satiety. When eating low carb things tend to get bland and I like a protein "shake" as a treat that can help get you through it. When I do have protein powder I only have one to two servings per day. The product has only 4 carbs per serving so that's not bad. I really LOVE the taste of this stuff. It's "Chocolate Eclair" flavor. Really yummy stuff!. It's a whey isolate/Micellar casein mix with isolate as the first ingredient in the list making it the primary protein. I'd definitely purchase this product. Hopefully the price is right.

Please let us know if you continue to see the 2-5 rep drop. That sounds significant. I hope you sleep better.
