X-Gels all hype?

Yeah, photos can be very helpful, but in cases like this it's the self-reporting of the individual that provides the best insight.

I can only imagine. Get ready for questions like

"Bro. What protein do you use?"

5 to 10 lbs is a substantial amount of muscle. At least in my opinion .
 
Does injectable testosterone work? I used it for 7 weeks, albeit not consistently and didn't train much do to injury, but the test didn't really do anything. I say it's bogus.

Maybe you worked out TOO much. I heard you're supposed stay inactive, reduce your calories by 50 percent and watch marathons of "good Times" episodes for it to work.

Sounds like a personal problem. Stop buying bunk ****. Sarcasm not appreciated, piss off
 
As I said I took it consistently for 4 weeks and didn't notice anything, you'd expect to see some difference

80% of things herbal (made up stat) take time to "work". Whether it is a build up of the compound in tissue, cell walls etc some things do take time to show noticable effect.

For people that eat a lot of fish or fish oil, the time may be longer for Ara due to competition in cell walls; of course the effects may also be more pronounced in these people as well.

If you are not happy with the cost: benefits you saw, there are plenty of options available where effects may be more immediate but a lot of decent natural anabolics unfortunately do take time to show effect.

Another way is to use 1 bottle at a higher dose (1.5-2g) and 1 at a lower dose (500mg-1g). The higher dose shoudl give you more immediate amd felt effect and the low dose should be enough to maintain.

But you need to decide whether it was worth it for you or not

Ran them for about 4 weeks, however, didn't get to take them too consistently due to injury....

Here's your problem... Inconsistent dosing, injury, and I assume due to this injury, inconsistent training. Nothing will work properly under these conditions.
 
guys I bought a bottle of Xgels and rubbed the bottle all over myself for 4 weeks and it did absolutely nothing! I then PIITB cause my bro told me it enhances absorption and still nothing. The bottle has been up there for 3 weeks now and I'm occasionally training and eating like sh!t but still nothing! This supplement seems like all hype to me!

Yeah good call thanks, I eat a lot of fish so I was wondering if that's effect it so I'll probably dose it quite higher

Specifically, I did not train for 3 straight days due to a minor lower back injury. There you go. We can get that out of the way finally. Two weeks on, 3 days off cause of injury, back on 2 more full weeks. Slight pump differential is all I really felt as I said. I don't believe in miracle pills or whatever, I get that. I've been training for years. The way people hyped I figured it would be more like creatine in the fact you can feel its effects rather quickly and it helps significantly

Sooooo, you were lying when you said you didn't dose consistently?... I'm confused. First you didn't dose them regularly, now you only took off 3 days... Pick a story, man.

You can "feel" creatine???? I think you've got some serious bs issues...
 
I want to try an ara + pa stack here soon, just waiting a bit longer

Ara has sooooooooo many people saying they had great results on it op, you didn't give it a good chance, I would recommend waiting until you are 100% then giving it a shot again

What you're "feeling" is placebo there

Especially since creatine works by saturation. There are no acute effects that you can "feel" besides placebo effect

I ran a 50 day 'cycle' of ArA last year, and I honestly wasn't all too impressed. I did notice a good pump from it, but I feel that a lot of reviews and logs blow the results out of proportion. It is possible that I didn't respond well to ArA, but a lot of what I read made it seem as though I'd be making noticeable gains in size and strength, which wasn't all too accurate. At the end of the day, there's really no natty product that's going to produce DS or AAS results IMHO

A lot of reviews and logs blow TONS of supplements out of proportion. That being said, for me, ArA isn't one of those, it just works

Lol dude if you've never felt bloating from creatine or immediate strength gains you aren't doing something right. And yes not training on 3 days i normally would=inconsistent

Have you guys never loaded creatine????? 5g's multiple times a day for 4-5 days.....you feel that ****..just ask your kidneys if you dont get enough water
 
It doesnt take too long to feel that creatine is in your system and doing something...you want to talk 100% placebo you take tribulus

The placebo is STRONG with this one.
 
My first run with ArA was a phenomenal success. I added 7lbs of muscle and lost 4lbs of fat. I took measurements via 7 point caliper tests under the same conditions and had roughly 7 years of training experience at that time. There aren't a whole lot of non-hormonals with both data and anecdotes, but ArA is one.

But ...dood...it gave me 17 lbs when I chase it with a Chinese buffet. Ur saying I'm just imagining things? Creatine +Chinese buffet =gains.

It's science. I took one class that lasted for 10 minutes. I am kind of a expert.

Pro bodybuilders do it! They just inject their creatine.

Serious face
 
The title itself made me do a double take because the company that probably hypes the least is SNS. They do have pretty banners though :D
 
Same with that car I bought...they had chicks standing next to it in the picture...where the hell are they now?

We try not to hype but we think our products speak for themselves :D. Plus we usually have rock bottom prices and great promos
