Had a solid shoulder blast session this evening. Worked in some standing OHP, slight incline paused CG Duffalo bench, DB rear delt flies, and Duffin upright rows. Gear cream keeping the intensity up and recovery smooth! I do not take any pre workout for training, I prefer caffeine post workout with a meal to help shuttle nutrients, and I have noticed an uptick in energy during training. Once again, vascularity and pump are quite enhanced. Still no negatives in regards to this transdermal formula.

I haven't heard of this one before. That's interesting. I may have to do some more homework. Typically i've always consummed caffeine 15 to 30 min pre workout.

Give it a try one day. Might be surprised. Might not lol. But, caffeine is a vasoconstrictor.

This is the main reason why someone pursuing hypertrophy would consider not using it pre.
If your focus is strength/performance, you want to use it. It is a tremendous PED. But overuse can alter perceived fatigue/RPE, so considerations like what is an optimal routine dosage vs a competitive scenario should be weighed. If you double-dose preWO to train when you probably shouldn’t because you didn’t sleep or eat enough, you can mask your way to an overreaching scenarios, or even potential injury.
Caffeine preWO also increases shuttling of your periWO nutrition, and GLUT4 expression from hard training will handle nutrients post for about 6 hours, or a couple meals worth, typically.
Main thing is, don’t load up pre AND post. Pick one that meets your lifestyle needs for the day. If you are going to be training strength/sympathetic work in training, taking it post is going to delay recovery by maintaining that fight or flight state longer. If you are doing hypertrophy only & then need to go to work or be productive after, taking it post is probably much more beneficial.

That is the main reason I stopped stims pwo many many months back. I was guilty of using it to mask lack of proper nutrition during hectic work weeks and achieve a desired effect via stimulants. It was eye opening once I dropped them and became more in tune with eating habits. A cup of coffee or green tea post workout with food has me feeling much better all around and my CNS is also thankful. I’m not saying there isn’t a time and place for them, I just believe as a whole they are abused as a result of stressful life situations and form dependency.

Couldn’t agree more. And unless someone is close to a contest where you need to just find a way to get through, the focus should be on sustainability.

Will have to give this a try. I'm going on vacation here soon and taking a breaker from supps + training just to rest up. Once i return for vacation this might have to be my new routine if I like it.

Weight at 218.5 this morning (more dehydrated than normal I slacked on water intake pre bed). So probably closer to 219. Had a solid back and Bi session this morning and applied to pumps to inner biceps after my shower. Gear cream post workout keeps a nice pump for hours and really helps recovery when application is localized.

It was really amazingly potent per mg. 150mg of the old Finaflex oral wasn’t nearly as strong as half that dose in here.

Can't beat some good ole sushi! Of course I'd prefer a nicely cooked steak over sushi but sushi does hit the spot every once in a while.

I must consume everything! I was really craving sushi that day so just went for it.

I crave it every once in awhile. For me there has to be so much stuff on stop and sauces that I don't even think about there being raw fish on it

I had a great run with Gear Cream from Iron Mag Labs! Honestly, nothing short of phenomenal and this exceeded my expectations on all accords.
I used this product as a mini-cycle bridge before heading in to a full blast. Hence the doubling of the daily dose. Final weight came in at 222.4 lbs. Initial weight was 215 lbs. increased weight on all lifts throughout this run (even with all the volume specific work). Highly noticeable aid in recovery and lessened DOMs post training and on rest days.
Another great perk of this product is the transdermal arimistane. ZERO AI was used during this run (I cruise at 200 mg test E). Typically I need 12.5 mg aromasin every other week whilst cruise dose is in effect. I’ve used oral arimistane successfully but it does have a more drying out of the skin effects. This product did not and I found it more effective.
All in all, I will 100% be using this in the future it creates a good environment to break away from AI dosing and produces nice gains. Next go around will be the suggested dose to prolong use and gauge it vs this log. I will post link here in the future for comparison.
Thanks again for the opportunity to log this gents!
