It takes anywhere from 2-4 hours to completely empty stomach contents. You're prob good at 3-4 hours.
 
For those who have taken Ara. Have y'all dosed on off days if u only got to workout say 3 or 4 days of the week?

Ik it's only on workout days. Just curious

4x a week would be fine. If only 3, I would dose on an off day in the morning. Personal preference though.
 
I have done a run of X-factor before with great results, and never noticed my pills smelling weird at all. I had my pills in my car the other day for a few hours, probably got up to 45 Celsius in there, and now they smell really strongly of fish. Not sure if I just didn't notice the smell before or something happened to them. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Oil in the sun will likely make it rancid
 
Erm, probably one of those overthunk questions but i accidentally took my DCP at the same time as my X-Factor - will the TTA compete for absorption with the Ara?

Due to the heat or UV exposure? They were kept out of the sun but definitely really hot. Would they still be usable if they did go rancid?

Poke one that was near the bottom and smell the oil. If it snells bad you might not want to use it

Likewise. Haha. Xgels still work for me :)

I'm unlucky enough not to be able to use them. Arthritis in both knees, cervical spin, and probably elsewhere also. Those are just the places that have been confirmed my a doctor after x-rays and an MRI. Plus I've got irritable bowel syndrome. No meds for Arthritis but I was on dicyclomine for IBS for several years. Went off of it because they had to keep raising the dosage for it to be effective. No as long as I take Psyllium husk daily everything stays "somewhat normal".

Could it cause GI issues? My ara really smells bad, I find it hard just to pop the 4 caps pre workout, and I don't remember it being that bad.

It could, depending on whether or not there is something wrong with it.
 
I get mad GI issues with mine. I'm pretty sure they're done. I'll see what I can do about it :/ there goes like $160
 
Second day into Xgels I did my normal back routine. Two days after that I could barely get up I was so sore and my back never gets sore, even when I first started I don't remember it being that intense. Anyway 2 weeks into it now and the soreness has dissipated. Still running 4 preworkout so that might be it but I was so excited for the DOMS tbh.

DOMs dont indicate a good seasion ;)
 
I managed to stretch my left gluteus muscle yesterday. I can still walk and have minor pain, so its not that bad. But can I still use ArA even tough its pro inflammatory and my butt is inflamed at this moment? :D

Oh this just has all the potential in the world to be ruined haha... In all seriousness though, might be smart to skip a few days while the initial swelling and such goes down. Can't be helpful for healing time to have something pro-inflam.
 
Only 32 dude

I am hardcore, did ArA yesterday with my workout. My butt feels fine today, but going to probably take a few days to heal.
I just got sickening ArA DOMS from legs I did on sunday. That pain.

I posted a thread about it. It's happening in other threads also. So I don't want to derail this any longer...X-gels are the coolest. Too bad I can't use them. It's like some cruel joke being played on me!.

Stack with Growth Factor XT for the LCLT. Reduce the DOMS.
 
I need some help here math brahs. I am going to start a stim break and going to use 1 scoop of Hemavol which has 1g of GMS. I currently use a serving (8.3 grams) of Glycergrow for my GMS source. How many grams of Glycergrow should I take now?

I think you get 6g from 3 scoops of Glycergrow and you want 6g with you ArA so I would just take 2 GG and get 1g from hemavol.
 
currently using xfa with alphamax, adding test powder and natadrol shortly
 
I'm using xgels with Alphamax and some added forsk and other goodies. :-)

So far I'm liking x gels. My first run.
 
if all goes well it will be my go to bridging stack

Ya man by far the best natural supp in my opinion. Im going to try out EP1C (epicatechin) here in the near future and will see what all the hype is about.

My guess is EP1C + X-GELS = EP1CX times ahead
 
In regards to the GlycerGrow and L-Cartinine, how long after dosing XFactor do you take these? Immediately after workout?

Also, is 1 scoop of Glycergrow a day enough for the beneficial affects of taking 1g of ArA a day?

You dose them with your ArA pre-workout.

You want 3-6 grams of GMS.
 
Joshlm69 said:
Looking at GlycerGrow, it has 7g unless I'm reading it wrong, so 1 scoop is fine?
Click to expand...

Is the 7 grams just GMS or is a prop blend? I believe is has Taurine and others in the blend?

GlycerGrow Complex™ 7500mg
Glycerol Monostearate (GMS From Vegetable Source) and L-Taurine

How am I supposed to know how much of it is GMS, to dose properly

Serving size is 3 scoops correct?

There's only 2 ingredients in the blend so there should be 2.5 grams of GMS and Taurine per scoop I believe.
 
Quick question. I'm about to jump on an 8 week bulk with X-gels and OG anabeta (along with 6gs GMS and 1 1/2gs ALCAR) I've been doing an intermittent fasting carb cycling diet for the past year while doing a few cuts and recomps. I've had great results doing this style of diet. I thought about switching my diet up for this bulk by eating 6-8 smaller meals throughout the day to ensure I have a steady supply of food in my system to get the most out of this stack. After reading this tread tho, I understand that ArA is best utilized preworkout fasted. So I guess my question is would it be more beneficial for me to keep on an IF style diet while increasing my cals to about 500 over maintenance, or wake a bit earlier to workout fasted and eat 6-8 smaller meals throughout the day after my fasted workout? I workout first thing in the morning. Just trying to make sure I eat a style of diet that would best utilize this stack.
