DaveGabe back in action with SNS / CEL

[DaveGabe24]

First cap of Thermagize and I am loving it! Maybe I am more stim sensitive than I realized but this is the perfect amount. Didn't give me that "over-stim" nausea but definitely has me in that "ok what can I do now mode, what else needs to get done, etc"

My new fave stim hands down. All I need is either GlycerPump, Vaso6, or Swole and Im good for workouts...one more go-to product added to the lineup. Very very nice product.

Wifey is trying it, I told her it's going to kick her ass....I'm afraid she's going to love it too and each bottle is going to last half as long. ugh

 

[DaveGabe24]

Yesterday

Bench (only listing AMPRAP sets as usual)
230 x 12
220 x 12
210 x 8

*Cant wait for this weight to go up, probably do 10lb increments until it drops to 8ish more.

DB Press (6-8sec negatives)
45 x 10
45 x 10
45 x 10

DB Rows
85 x 15
75 x 15
75 x 15

JM Press
85 x 10
85 x 10

Felt great! Continuing to love ThermagizeXT lol

 

[DaveGabe24]

This morning rowing session...LISS.

32min 5km roughly

 

[DaveGabe24]

Man...empty stomach Thermagize kicks my ass in the morning. Seriously need a list of things I want to get asap done otherwise I have too much time to think about how friggin amped I am haha

Thermagize + Vaso6 is pretty kickass for an easy 2 cap preworkout.

Going to start doing 10lb increments because these 12 rep sets are killer.

 

[DaveGabe24]

Splits are getting a bit tighter. Loving this for active recovery and some off-day blood flow.

 

[DaveGabe24]

What a lift ! Added weights and reps, things are clicking.

Rowing has me feeling good, Joint support and Cissus has eliminated every pain I can think of, and my other health support have me feeling healthy and strong!

 

[DaveGabe24]

Yesterday and today

 

[DaveGabe24]

Last night - one of those workouts where I just wasn't feeling it but HAD to move some weight.

10 rep deadlifts

Do you tap and go or full reset between reps?

 

[DaveGabe24]

Full stop. Bounce is considered a partial rep in my book, unless it's an intended style just to get in high rep work, full resets are the only way I pull.

Yes, I'm going to be adding +10lbs per week until my reps get back down to 6-8 weekly lol I keep surprising myself and its getting painful

 

[DaveGabe24]

Somewhat of a deload....this week. Still adjusting to being home with Wifey and kids. Back at it next week.

 

[DaveGabe24]

Next few weeks is time for Mtest and/or Anabolic Effect. Initially I was going to just run them at the same time but now I may do 2 bottles AE and then into 2 bottles of Mtest....then I was thinking of BMP down the road.

Thoughts??

 

[DaveGabe24]

Day 1 of second phase/cycle. Wasnt feeling it, yet when push came to shove, the weights moved. Will be fun to get back to 4 plate sets for reps. Thatll be a nice mental milestone that I'm sort of back " in it " so to speak.

Hope everyone is staying safe out there.

 

[DaveGabe24]

Pushing forward....dropping cals a few more weeks to get to that lean 185ish weight, then it's full on strength/muscle gain focus.

 

[DaveGabe24]

Just grabbed a 3rd bottle of AE to make this run 12 weeks. I may start MTest at the 8 week mark though, not sure.

Also grabbed a few tubs of EAAs / Glycofuse to start using intraworkout. I want to start increasing volume a bit to really lean out and I dove back into the peri workout nutrition a bit. Figured I'd start basic before getting too crazy with betaine, OKG, adaptogens etc...my training is still relatively "light" given my cal deficit.

If you ever do get back into wanting something a little more "premium" look at Morphogen Nutrition's Hexagen. It is loaded.

That said I don't recommend over-complicating before we need to (even though I am guilty of it too haha) and the benefits of peri-workout nutrition are probably highly individual depending on training style, etc.

Agreed. I've gone so far down the rabbit hole over at Intense Muscle with Skip and Scott reading all of their articles and published literature over the years. My conclusion tends to be one of self awareness and the realization that I just don't train hard enough to justify splitting hairs and over-complicating as you said.

I was going to grab some Nutrabio SuperCarb and Intrablast, those two seem interesting as well. Their AlphaEAA is a neat looking product too. I'll keep the MN one in mind thanks man.

Btw, what proteins you use these days? I'm currently using Select, Olympus, and Nutrabio - looking to get back to some sort of blend that uses Micellar / MPI though. Used to like Trutein but I found out the owners scummy apparently (??), XF UP2.0 was one of my favorites and Dave was a flavor god lol Open to ideas ! May just continue with Select, but I'm always looking for new flavors and options to try. The Protizyme stuff was incredible - if I can grab it at 20% that'll probably be it actually.

Intrablast is one of my favorites. Hexagen doesn’t have any aminos it’s just carbs, electrolytes, and performance and hydration enhancers. Sythagen is MNs EAA, which is solid too.

I don’t buy much protein powder, I’m always hungry so I eat as much of my protein as possible. I usually rotate between Select and Superior Protein when I do and haven’t branched out in forever.

 

[DaveGabe24]

Volume on the way up finally.

Glycofuse (mango) + Primeval EAA mango = wowww, delicious LOL

 

[aaronuconn]

Rule 1 is a great option if you haven’t tried it. Not a casein/MPI blend, but good flavoring (banana and vanilla specifically) and reasonably priced.

My go-to blend is still Select

 

[DaveGabe24]

Yeah I think my next orders will be Select and/or Protizyme.

 

[DaveGabe24]

Probably write up something more formal on my SNS experience at some point but Thermagize has quickly become an integral part of my dieting. Its borderline too strong but if I have enough things to get done and channel the energy towards, it works out. Even better? Crushesssss my appetite. Makes fasting almost too easy and that's coming from someone who has never ever felt the appetite suppression of a supplement before. This is a huge win imo and sets it apart from anything I've tried in the past.

On paper, Thermagize looks outstanding.

I say on paper, because that’s way beyond what I’m capable of handling lol

To be honest if it wasnt the guys in here pressuring me, I would have never ever touched it. I'm not a big stim-fan myself, try to preserve my adrenals and keep the doses lower with more frequency etc.

Turns out - it's an exception to the rule for me lol

Todays workout (supposed to be an off day but I want to start incorporating a 4th workout per week)

Dips (100 total)
BW x 10
BW x 15
BW x 20
BW x 20
BW x 15
BW x 10
BW x 10

Row - 10min @ 1614m

 

[GQdaLEGEND]

Thermagize will exceeds the expectations on paper lol

Haha glad OP you are enjoying it .. I can’t handle that stuff and I’m like you ( mostly try to avoid stims since I’m doing focusXT and amino’s

 

[DaveGabe24]

Life has been crazy (who's isnt these days) so I'm sorry for the lack of updates however!! I came back to say that Anabolic Effect, in the 15 years I've been trying non-PH supplements, is the first one that's ever had me feel an undeniable enhancement. Strength, vascularity, frequency of arousal (TMI), its exposed all of the other supps I spent $$ on over the years. Incredible and that's with a suboptimal diet and training regimen.

Beyond happy with this product.

Xgels and Mtest still in the cabinet but I'm afraid to even try em with the bar so high now. I'm about 5.5 weeks in, so almost 2 bottles left in this 3 bottle run.

Well done CEL.

 

[GQdaLEGEND]

Agree anabolic effect is way better then anything out there for non hormonals .. glad you reacted well to it.

Best of luck .. that mtest stack will surprise you

And hope all is good on your end.. I know crazy times we are living in.

Cant complain, just hectic. I work in synbio so I'm busy af since we sell antibody libraries, RNA controls, etc. Busy is good tho compared to alternatives.

Home all day with a 4 and 1 year old is a whole different kind of exhausting tho lol. Makes widowmakers seem easy xD

That's great to hear. I'm glad that you are so happy with Anabolic Effect. And the best part is that I think you'll be even happier as the cycle continues because most people find that the results get better over time.

 

[sns8778]

I just wanted to let anyone following know that we extended the SNS and CEL Memorial Day sales thru Sunday.

 

[DaveGabe24]

Id hop on the Joint Support but looks like its sold out. Grabbing a bunch from A1 fortunately. Thanks for the heads up - hope you and yours are safe and well!

 

[DaveGabe24]

Last day of my 3rd bottle of AE yesterday...I shed a tear.

However I cracked open a bottle of MTest and I am equally excited! If I can keep the trends going of how training has been progressing, then life is good!

Hit 405 for a triple in deadlifts, 275x5 bench, 315x4 squat, yesterday was 175x5 for 2 sets in OHP. So all in all, weight is static but strength is on the up and up.

AE is 10000% going to be a near-future purchase for me and possibly 3-4months or more if I can snag a bunch on sale.

Another one on my radar is BMP as I've heard some nice recomp effects from that formula.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it so much. My next run on it will be a 4 bottle run.

I hope you'll enjoy M-Test.
