MrMuscle getting lean and mean with SNS Thermo Scorch and TTA-500

[TheMrMuscle]

OH YEAH! I can't wait to see what you think of this... definitely one of the most structured logs/critics around here so your thoughts will truly be a test

Thank you man. Yeah im really curious as to how i will react to this! Im hoping increased recovery and some growth, time will tell!

Very nice .. i just finished my 8 weeks run and love this stuff.

Interested to see how the 3 dose split treats you.

Nice one. Yeah like discussed the timing doesnt seem to be a big factor when it comes to the ingredients. But I like the idea of having it in the bloodstream all thru the day.

Wicked physique

The log aside, It's VERY clear that you've got diet and training in check

Keep kicking ass!

Thank you brother, very kind of you to say so! I absolutely will continue putt boot to asses!

Weekly Report 02.March - 08.March

Body Composition: (Weight and body fat measured on a FitBit Aria Scale every morning)
So Sunday last week i had that Asian buffet and even though i didnt eat that much, the extra weight stayed with me most of the week. Pretty weird for me as i usually drop the extra weight after a day or two. Maybe some kind of inflammation from all the oils used? Who knows, but its back to normal now!

No changes in body measurements this week either.

Neck: 37 cm (+-0)
Shoulders: 121 cm (+-0)
Chest: 102 cm (+-0)
Biceps: 38 cm (+-0)
Forearm: 30 cm (+-0)
Waist: 79 cm (+-0)
Hips: 85 cm (+-0)
Glutes: 93 cm (+-0)
Thigh: 56 cm (+-0)
Calf: 36 cm (+-0)

Diet: (Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)
This was one of those text book weeks. No extra food and everything was a 100%

Activity: (Caloric expenditure measured by my FitBit Blaze that I wear all day and night)
New training block with very high volume!

• Monday - Rest day (RomWOD at home)
• Tuesday - Legs, Core and RomWOD
• Wednesday - Chest, Triceps and RomWOD
• Thursday - Back, Biceps, Core and RomWOD
• Friday - Shoulders and RomWOD
• Saturday - Legs and RomWOD
• Sunday - Chest, Triceps and RomWOD

No cardio as usual, i just do 2-4 ten minutes walks after meals each day.

This is the highest ive seen my caloric expenditure since i started using a FitBit!

Recovery: (Sleep measured with my Fitbit Blaze that I wear all day and night)
Sleep was back to a more tolerable level this week!

Supplementation (Here i comment supplements im trying that arent part of my staple)

Cel Anabolic Effect Week 1:
This is probably what most of you are interested in! First week is over and ive taken all my servings as planned. One cant really expect something huge to happen just after one week, BUT there has been some things.

• Firstly, increased frequency of night/morning boners. No doubt about it that this week has had much more of that!
• Secondly, I got a zit. Yeah yeah, I know. But im 41, I dont get zits. I also got this one on the traps and if we go down the rabbit hole we know that there are alot of androgen receptors in the traps. Or maybe i just had a sweaty night and thats why i got it.
• Thirdly, crazy amounts of gas. Now for those who read the other stuff in here about food etc know that i structure my diet on nutrient dense and easy digestible foods so that I wont have gas. Which mean i normally hardly ever pas gas. But this week has been nasty. Almost constantly AND smelling of pure death. We will just have to see if it continues OR if it was another reaction to that Asian buffet last sunday. Time will tell!

Excited to keep going and see if I get some more performance/recovery based results.

Weekly Overview
Great to be back from the Deload and high volume training is my jam! Had tons to do at work this week as well which covers for alot of the extra calories i burned. Looking forward to another week!

 

[Resolve10]

You jinxed me I read this and was like "ya I got some acne last time I used AE and have been ok so far", then today I have a pimple on my biceps. My bicep! haha

Haha i guess thats what you get for calling me old

biceps wants to expand lol

If thats the case im ok with it being on my trap as mine needs some extra size!

 

[sns8778]

The only time we've had any reports of gas or GI discomfort with Anabolic Effect so far has been people taking it without food or in people with very sensitive stomachs. If it is this and not the Asian buffet as you said haha, I would expect it to go away after 1 to 2 weeks.

Im more like a billy goat when it comes to food sensitivity, so nothing really bothers me.... except that Asian buffet apparently!!

Great Friday the 13th workout! The volume on this block of training is like ive said crazy. But im a volume guy so i absolutely love it. Gym was completely empty this am maybe because of Corona or maybe because it was friday, I figure its best to get as many great workouts in before they decide to shut everything down.

Im heading to the movies tonight with my fiance to see Bloodshot with Vin Diesel. They have limited the audience to max 100 people per viewing, so it will be pretty empty in the theater. Ive heard mixed opinions on the movie, but i usually enjoy some Diesel action!

 

[sns8778]

^^^ Considering taking my daughter to a movie tonight and everyone acting like I'm crazy for going. To me, its about finding a balance between taking precautions and trying to be safe but still living your life.

Yeah its obvious that a lot of people are scared. I have around 90 minutes left before i close the store for today and usually fridays are booming. But its been a total ghost town today. Will be interesting to see how tomorrow will be.

Weekly Report 09.March - 15.March

Body Composition: (Weight and body fat measured on a FitBit Aria Scale every morning)
Weight is back down to where it was before my Asian Buffet incident! It still boggles me that it took a week to go back to baseline!

No changes in body measurements this week either.

Neck: 37 cm (+-0)
Shoulders: 121 cm (+-0)

Diet: (Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)
Made a little tweak to the diet this week. Instead of eating a salmon meal twice a week I now eat one every other day. I feel the extra omega-3 will be beneficial. Plus I found some great line caught salmon.

On saturday me and my fiance had some ice cream. Halo Top has come to Sweden so we had to give it a try. The Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was quite nice, the Strawberry Cheesecake was ok.

Activity: (Caloric expenditure measured by my FitBit Blaze that I wear all day and night)
Had some amazing workouts this week. Everything just feels great when im in the gym.

• Monday - Rest day (RomWOD at home)
• Tuesday - Back, Biceps and RomWOD
• Wednesday - Shoulders and RomWOD
• Thursday -Legs, Core and RomWOD
• Friday - Chest, Triceps and RomWOD

• Sunday - Shoulders and RomWOD

No cardio as usual, i just do 2-4 ten minutes walks after meals each day.

After the crazy high caloric expenditure last week im back to normal levels now.

Recovery: (Sleep measured with my Fitbit Blaze that I wear all day and night)
Not the best week of sleep, but ive woken up rested every day.

Supplementation (Here i comment supplements im trying that arent part of my staple)

Cel Anabolic Effect Week 2:
Very low key effects from week 2.

• I have noticed some enhanced recovery and even if my sleep amount hasnt been the longest, ive still woken up recovered and ready to go.
• Bit early to expect any strength increases imo so we will just have to wait and see.
• No more gassy stomach and no new zits!
• But my nightly boner situation seems to be constant.

Weekly Overview:
All in all a great week where ive just had tons of energy, felt healthy and had fun at the gym.

Mail Bag

Got these beauties in the mail yesterday!

Focus XT

When it comes to pre-workouts i have to loves: Focus and Pump. For the last 4 years or so Prolific has been my go to for the focus part. Ive of course tried all kinds of other PWOs but I always end up returning to Prolific. Even though I train in the AM i dont need much stim, so ive been 1 scooping it as well.

I do always stack it with a pump product and High Volume has been my prime choice. But lately ive been mixing it up with VasoForce XT, Ghost Pump and Super Swole.

Ive been interested in Focus XT for a while as it looks great on paper, with an more extensive focus blend.

First use review:
Tried it for the first time this morning before my Back, Biceps, Core and RomWOD session.

Taste:
Like i said i stack it with a Pump product, BUT i took a couple of sips of the pure Focus XT before i added it (High Volume this time). I was a little suprised by the consistency as it mixed a little thicker than I would have though. Now i only used like 250ml water so that might be the reason for that. But it had a nice and not to sweet mango and pineapple taste that really stuck with me for a while. So great mouthfeel and taste for me.
Also my go to flavor for High Volume is Paradise Cooler which is an orange and pineapple taste. So the two together was a smash hit as well.

Effect:
By the time I was done with my warm ups i was really in the zone. I just felt "on" and could really perform to my fullest. It does also give a great energy boost i feel. For me that dont really need high stims this felt pretty perfect.
Its now been 6 hours since I took it and there hasnt been any sort of crash or feeling of "coming down". Which is perfect as I work in retail and I dont wanna look tired at work.

Verdict:
Great product for those of us that really is looking for that focus aspect of a PWO. I will keep trying it out for the next 29 days and come back with a final verdict when the tub is empty.

Question:
I like to do what I call my "Afternoon health drink" which has the following in it

- Greens
- Cranberry Juice
- C-Vitamin
- PES Alphamine or ON Amino Energy
- Joint Complex Powder

Would it be a bad ide to do a second scoop (or half a scoop) of Focux XT here instead of the Alphamine or Amino Energy?

Immune Support XT

So this just seemed like a good idea to start taking in the times we live in just now. For those that read my log you know i eat close to 2 kg of fruit and vegetables every day. So I dont feel like my immune defense is that bad, but as i work in a store i meet people all day and I think a little extra protection is warranted now.

I cant really give a review on this as its more preventive than anything. But ill be taking 3 caps with my forst meal of the day (pre workout meal) and my fiance will take 3 caps with her last meal of the day. Hopefully this will help keep us healthy and safe.​

Shoulder days are always fun! They are also the shortest workouts of the week so on those i do the Warrior Routine on RomWOD which are close to an hour long. RomWOD is a cross between yoga, stretching and meditation. So we do long holds in positions that stretch both muscles, tendons and joints. Today for instance we held a seated straddle for 10 minutes.

Because i do these every day, a focus PWO is also very nice because you can more easily zone out and just focus on your breathing and not as much on the pain you are in. Focus XT passed that test perfectly! Really enjoying it so far.

 

[LeanEngineer]

Nice man! Shoulder routine is definitely making those delts pop.

Ill be digesting and absorbing EVERYTHING with this stack.

Symbiont-GI

One of my passions is Gut Health and im a big PES fan, so ive been wanting to try this out for a while.
Luck has it I had to restock my GlycoPhase and the distributor had Symbiont-GI in stock as well!
ive been taken different Digestive Enzymes and Probiotics for a long while, so I have some experience. I also eat fermented food every day. I make my own Kefir that i eat once a day, use Kimchi with two of my daily meals and have sourdough bread for two meals as well.

I dont have any gut problems but I do think that having an optimal digestion is important for both by bodybuilding goals, but also when it comes to health.

I will be dosing this 1 caps with 3 of my daily meals:

- 1 cap with me pre workout meal
- 1 cap with my post workout meal
- 1 cap with my pre bed meal

GlycoPhase

I just had to restock on GlycoPhase as im loving the effect. Im almost done with my 2 first bottles and felt they benefited me enough to as i wanted to continue with them.

There are several school of thoughts surrounding using a GDA when being as lean as i am. From my experience, pushing as much nutrients as possible into the cells helps me recover faster. I do also feel a bit fuller during the day, but thats such a subjective feeling I cant really put that on any supplement.

I take 2 caps, twice a day:

- 2 caps with my pre workout meal
- 2 caps with my pre bed meal

The pre workout meal dosing i think gives me the extra benefit of a stronger pump. Especially since I mainly use the EY version of High Volume for my pump PWO and that doesnt contain any Agmatine (as its a novel food here and illegal to sell). So im glad some of the UK distributors dont care about that rule.​

Weekly Report 23.March - 29.March

Body Composition: (Weight and body fat measured on a FitBit Aria Scale every morning)
I have no clue what my weight was doing this week. I havent seen it peak like that in half a year! I did have some extra food the week before but nothing that should spike it that way. Sunday spike was because we went out to eat at an asian place.. again.. that stuff just doesnt sit right with me haha.

I did notice some bloat sunday morning when i did my measurements. Which i think is the reason for the increases.

Neck: 37 cm (+-0)
Shoulders: 121 cm (+-0)
Chest: 102 cm (+-0)
Biceps: 38 cm (+-0)
Forearm: 30 cm (+-0)

Hips: 86 cm (+1 cm)
Glutes: 93 cm (+-0)
Thigh: 56 cm (+-0)
Calf: 36 cm (+-0)

Diet: (Everything tracked in MyFitnessPal)
Saturday me and my fiance went on a date to a Asian place (yeah... you know what happens then to me...)

Activity: (Caloric expenditure measured by my FitBit Blaze that I wear all day and night)
Incredible weeks of workout again. I feel kinda bad that my gym is still open when i see how it is in all other countries.

• Monday - Rest day (RomWOD at home)
• Tuesday - Back, Biceps, Core and RomWOD
• Wednesday - Shoulders and RomWOD
• Thursday -Legs and RomWOD
• Friday - Chest, Triceps and RomWOD
• Saturday - Back, Biceps, Core and RomWOD
• Sunday - Shoulders, Calves and RomWOD

No cardio as usual, i just do 2-4 ten minutes walks after meals each day.

Recovery: (Sleep measured with my Fitbit Blaze that I wear all day and night)
Sleep have been amazing this week. Ive fallen asleep the second i put my head on the pillow.

Supplementation (Here i comment supplements im trying that arent part of my staple)

Cel Anabolic Effect Week 4:
This week is the first week where ive "felt" like something is going on. If this is how its going to be for the next 8 weeks then im even more excited. I just feel good! Which is saying alot with all the bullshit going on! My workouts are outstanding, recovery is improved, sleep is awesome. Yeah, bring on the gains.

Other added supplements this week:

• SNS Immune Support XT - Just for overall health benefits. Dont think this will affect my gauge of how AE works.
• PES Symbiont-GI - Again for health and well being. Dont think this will affect my gauge of how AE works.
• SNS Focus XT - I love high focus PWOs and hadnt tried this before. One week in and im absolutely loving it. I stack it with PES High Volume most days and its a wicked combo.

Weekly Overview:
Ive had a great week overall. A little flabbergasted over the high body weight and how it seemed to increase during the week. I dont think adding any of the above supplements had anything with it. But you never know? We will see how this upcoming week turns out. I will be taking a deload for a week now. Let my joints and CNS rest a bit. But ill still go for that mad pump!

 

[sns8778]

Glad to hear that you are enjoying Anabolic Effect. While some benefits are noticeable the first few weeks, most people report starting to notice a really nice benefit around week 4 that continues to get better for the remainder of the cycle

Deload is almost over and its been a good week. I absolutely prefer to go hard, but my body always enjoys these weeks. BUT looking forward to next week and see how the programming evolves then.

Im still lucky when it comes to having a gym to work out in. Some might have read that Sweden is doing it completely opposite of most other countries and keeping the gyms open. Hopefully that wont come and bite us in the ass in the future.

Weekly Report 30.March - 05.April

Body Composition: (Weight and body fat measured on a FitBit Aria Scale every morning)
Another week where the weight stayed high, im wondering if its the AE because the calories havent changed. We just have to see where this is heading!

Recovery: (Sleep measured with my Fitbit Blaze that I wear all day and night)
Kept it over 7 hours this week as well!

Supplementation (Here i comment supplements im trying that arent part of my staple)

Cel Anabolic Effect Week 5:
Not much to report here this week. Because of the deload the training wasnt taxing enough to require super recovery. I do feel nice and full all day. Hunger is starting to ramp up as well. But that might just be out of boredom as the days at work are really slow now with very few customers etc.

Weekly Overview:
Good week for recovery. Really looking forward to going hard again in the gym.
The weight staying almost 1kg over where its been stagnant for a while is baffling, especially since there are no changes in measurements. Will be fun to see where this goes.

Saturday we were at my in laws and had easter dinner. So i had a bunch of pork chops, potatoes, vegetables, fruit etc. But I also had a bunch of dessert so ice cream and ice cream cheesecake! Sunday me and my fiance went out to eat and i got a badass roastbeef salad. Later I made a home made pizza that ended in tragedy (but i ate it all) and finished the evening off with a couple of pints of ice cream haha. If nothing else the workouts this upcoming week should be sick!

Weekly Overview:
I had a yet another good week. Im lucky that the gyms seems to be staying open here so I get my 2 hours in every day. It is good for both body and soul. I didnt plan on eating as much as i did this weekend, but it was easter and ive been feeling hungry for a while. So i just let it rip and we will see how that impacts stuff.

Cel Anabolic Effect Week 7:
This week I had some great strength increases in the gym! Hopefully this is from the AE. I am thinking that i might wanna increase my run by 1 bottle. I havent seen anything about that being a negative, but maybe some of the CEL guys can chime in?

Weekly Overview:
Yeah boy this was a GREAT week no doubt. Training was awesome, recovery was awesome, food was awesome. I still get to train and go to work, the sun even came out a couple of days. More weeks like this please!

 

[sns8778]

Glad to see that the results from Anabolic Effect are kicking in and doing well.

Most people run Anabolic Effect for 12 weeks and 16 weeks is starting to become more and more common and popular. My next cycle of it will be 16 weeks myself.

Amazing workout! Because it was a sunday and my fiance had to work i got 2 meals in me before the workout where i usually go after 1. It made a world of difference when it comes to how I feel during the workout. Energy is always good, but mood and just sense of well being is so elevated.

Loaded 100kg on the bench press for the first time in ages and managed 2 reps (which was what my programming told me to hit) which is amazing when you think i struggled on 2 reps on 94,5kg 16 days ago.

Pump was also ridiculous!

 

[aaronuconn]

I wasn’t aware of what a key press was - that’s an interesting movement for sure. Watched a couple videos of people doing it on a decline bench

Yeah i really enjoy the feeling of that exercise. It gives a great stretch in the bottom and if you really squeeze it out on top the contraction is amazing as well.
