Thanks.
I've ordered 3 bottles, that will last about 8 weeks.
Can I occasionally go for 6 pumps? E.g. every week one or two days, would that be ok?
I've decided, before going full stack with products you recommended, to try them separately first to see effects of each one on myself.
Bought All Out Sweat and Ultra Edition first, honestly I have mixed reaction.
Don't feel much change in energy, more sweating or pumps in case of Ultra Edition.
Maybe because I've received them basically as clumped blocks which I have to carve and they have lost potency... or maybe my body doesn't respond to them.
On Ultra Edition tub I can see LOT (240601) and expiry date (10/2024) but on Sweat tub there is nothing, no LOT or EXP info.
Next I've started to use EndoAmp Max and logged it, next week is the end of the cycle and then I'm gonna run Sustain Alpha.

got your emails and decided to follow up here - have been swamped and haven't had much time to get on AM.
You should use sustain alpha daily - the ingredients in sustain alpha through a number of mechanisms to increase testosterone, but one of the main ways is by modulating estrogen - by lowering estrogen, we can trick the HPTA/HPG into increasing testosterone production. this gives you higher testosterone and lowered estrogen. Overweight men tend to have higher estrogen and are also more sensitive to estrogen...this makes losing weight more challenging. Using a tool like sustain alpha should help get those hormone imbalances back on track so you can lose the weight.
Per your other thread, it looks like your estradiol is about 3-4x where it should be and your testosterone is well below reference range
Copied E2 and Test from your other thread:
Estradiol (E2) - 134 pmol/L (I believe the healthy range should be 10-50)
Testosterone - 7.28 nmol/L (I believe the healthy range should be 10-35)
Using sustain alpha occasionally will not be effective at achieving this. Also, you really don't want to be bouncing your hormones around throughout the week.

For the pre's:
All of our pre's should have a lot code and date on them. These do have clumping issues - if I'm not mistaken the combination of ALCAR and Citruline Malate has caused the sweat ones to get pretty hard. This isn't a problem of efficacy, but a symptom of the combination of ingredients. The Ultra edition has a boat load of GMS (hydroprime) and although we used the patented non clumping version, this still remains a problem - for almost all pre workouts containing large amounts of GMS.
How is your normal caffeine intake? The pre's are all dosed with 225mg caffeine - this is a moderate dose that should give about as much caffeine as 2.5 cups of coffee - this should be plenty to get you moving. We do use a significant dose of theanine that also smooths out the stimulant effect - the combination of theanine and caffeine is great for mood and focus, without making you feel jittery...if you're used the jittery effect of caffeine, this may make it feel too smooth to you. But, you should still notice a bit of focus and energy. Some guys don't like the combination because they want that caffeinated feel. This was formulated with the intention of making the energy really smooth, without the jitters.
Sweat: Frankly, at this stage of the game, you should be sweating your ass off in your workouts anyway. I'm not much of a sweater when I weight train, but the combination of BAIBA (MitoBurn), GBB, Theobromine, Synephrine, and grains of paradise (Caloriburn) will usually get me sweating during any workout. But, some people still don't sweat, but these ingredients are working to help promote fat loss.
Pump: the pump ingredients in there are designed to draw water into the muscle and increase blood flow to the muscles. this may be something you'll need to continue training before you'll really notice.
