Which natural sups here are better for strength?

I think maybe after this cut I’d rather focus on strength. I think I’d like to hit 3, 4, 5, plates on the bench, squat, and deadlift while trying to maintain my composition.

Then again, if none of them are a real focus on strength and they usually come with bothI guess that is fine too.
 
Can’t go wrong with anabolic xt, amentoflavone and phosphatidic acid xt. If you wanna take it a little higher still you can add in some prime xt.

(auto correct on my phone is being weird, I meant to write anabolic xt but must have mispelled it and it autocorrected to "anabolic still" haha. I just changed it.)

I think creatine is gonna be top of the list for over the counter strength supplements, If you are looking for things specifically from this forum SNS new ATP creatine product and PA is a good strength combo.

Also, I know this isn't the question that's being asked, But if your primary goal is getting stronger then gain weight. Getting bigger helps with leverage and weight moves weight. My bench press goes up a pound for every pound I gain. That's been fairly consistent throughout most of my training.

I'm not saying I never get stronger without gaining weight I'm just saying that it seems like he sure-fired way to get stronger very fast is just to gain more weight. Food!

PA definitely but I don't believe amentoflavone is a gonna do anything for strength. It's a antioxidant and anti-inflammatory product

Yeah, I know weight gain is the easiest to do that. I’d just prefer to be stronger and leaner than fatter and leaner. I’m 31 and been lifting awhile, so not any real room to put more muscle on.
 
Creatine...

No "test booster" or similar (natty supp) is going to help with strength. (If youre a seasoned trainer at least).
Noobs can improve on anything, especially food...

Just not true at all. I added 30lbs to my incline bench after 3 weeks when taking PrimeXT. Yes, incredibly hard to believe I know, but it’s all documented in the Prime thread. Gained more strength on Prime than I did on any of my prohormone runs

Prime XT has a lot of great feedback for strength gains. Some people get nice and steady increases and others see pretty dramatic strength gains from it.

ATP Elite is great for strength gains - it has ingredients with great human clinical studies for strength and real world feedback as well. @Hyde is a powerlifter and has posted about how he likes it.

I train more for consistent strength gains in rep ranges rather than maxing, and I like Anabolic XT a lot because my numbers go up consistently on it and it just feels easier if that makes sense.

Amentoflavone is actually great for strength gains depending on the dose.

It's good for pumps at 250'ish mg range but a lot of people will dose it higher when going for strength gains.

It was pretty interesting, we never promoted it for that (actually didn't know it myself), it was something that people playing around with the dosing on Amentoflavone XT noticed and it caught on.

Really! I had no clue. I've always thought it was just a antioxidant and mood supplement, Ive seen some research showing it's good for anxiety and improving mood, that's actually the only reason I've done any research on it, I'm always looking for natural means for those issues, later I found the antioxidant stuff
 
Amentoflavone is great for strength. But you might have to dose it at 5 or 6 caps pre-workout to really get the most out of it. Which is why now is a good time to stock up on stacks: memorialday25 code now working on SNS site.

what kind of size gains did you get from prime? any other benefits like recovery, sleep, being able to train longer or harder?

As far as I know its more of a pre workout strength booster since it draws more calcium into your muscle cells and helps them contract better.
 
I made incredible strength gains on Prime, Alpha One Stack, added creatine and my strength gains were insane and I am a very experienced lifter.

My weight trended upwards but that’s to do with your caloric management, i don’t think prime itself helped me add size. However im sure it helped in the density/structure of the mass put on.

Benefits I got from prime were strength & very strong alpha feeling. When I went up to 9 caps I felt it here the most. Definitely felt like I got agitated more easily but also gave me insane confidence inside/outside of the gym

This is a nice set up! SNS overload stack for the gains :)
 
Since many years ago a preworkout supplement with brand name uncut was very famous in EUROPE
The main ingredient was amentoflavone ideal for strength gains
so Noxpump from Dorian yates with creatine and geranium extract 60mg every dose plus
with uncut pre work out with amentoflavone was excellent choice for natural lifters
usp labs a little later with asteroid stack which includes p-slin anabolic pumb and prime
was exellent choice for strength gains
for the moment
amentoflavone, urolithine-b both overdose only as preworkout and only for training days
creatine monohydrate before and after workout
tmg before workout
coctail of stimulants before workout i will post later my own coctail and doses about stimulants
arachidonic acid stack
duravol retibol from atletica sweden
and
Anabolic effect, PA 1500MG, Anabolic xt, Alpha one, Basis and formeron all these complete cycle
and not only training days
and finally...
Yes i will agree with Steve
Atpelite a big surprise about strength gain results
Needles saying that eaa powder 60 gr daily
and of course FOOD AND STRENGTH GO TOGETHER
ALL ABOVE ITS ABOUT STRENGTH GAINS NOT MUSCLE GAINS
 
BLR Androgin is my go too in my strength cycle. More effective than anything out there (and I have used them all up to date).
 
How do you usually dose that? 2 caps pre-workout? Or 1 AM, 1PM?
I actually take both caps before bed - it seems to really help my sleep / recovery.
I actually use it in the Winter months (in Canada) to help with sleep (which I suffer from in the Winter months).

I gained crazy strength like you did and said it was prohormone like as far as strength went and one dude flipped out and called BS. But seriously, I gained strength in all major lifts by a lot, very close to my all time highs in a lot of categories.

Now that I’m off of Prime for a while, I def feel less of that alpha feeling, but also way less aggravated in general lol. That alpha confidence feeling is hard to describe but very nice, almost like the feeling you have when you are getting yourself up before trying to do a PR lift, except feeling sort of like that constantly. That is definitely missing from my workouts now besides the strength enhancement.
 
I would like to clarify what is guaranteed to work for strength
1. Creatine
2. Arachidonic
3. Phosphatidic
4. Amentaflovone as a pre-workout
5. prime xt
6. anabolic xt
Yes?

Phosphatidic acid and anabolic xt for sure, at least for me.

Creatine probably works pretty good aswell but I haven’t logged it to see how much it actually helps, it has a more subtle effect but definitely helps with size gains long term.

I would add Anabolic Effect to that list for sure and I like that the strength gains seem to kick in around week 3 for me and are nice and consistent.

I would also add Pepti-Bolic and MPC-185 to the list as well.
 
Bump creatine and anabolic effect - thats what i've tried and can recommend. Didnt feel any visible strength effect from PA, didnt tried AA due to load of opinions about its impact of joints.

From my experience - good preworkout meal and good preworkout supplement can (and will) also be very effective. Also ... good music, motivation (glory to the good preworkouts with dmha, eria jarensis etc) are essential and can do the job.
 
ATP Elite is worth consideration. Strength and more intense reps. It's explosive. Stacked with BASIS and I get the above plus great endurance. This combo has changed how I train. I can do way more and recover just fine, never digging myself into a hole.
 
Supplements that gave me the biggest strength boost

1. Prime XT
2. Anacyclus XT
3. Creatine
4. 2g ARA
5. Double dosed PA
6. 1000mg tums combined with Amento preworkout
 
I have got limited budget for supplement - after creatine and ara - what is most effective for strength?

tbh, you really don't need to add anything else. There is so much natural supplements can do, adding 10 different supplements won't give you more.

Agree. But I have no desire to buy 10 supplements. I don't even know if they will work. Creatine and ara have definitely worked for me at some point. So I'm definitely buying them. And the rest? Which of the list works best?

ah sorry, I thought you were already using Creatine and ARA.
Definitely keep creatine, I doubt there's anything better. And just pick anything from the suggestion here. If budget is limited, just pick the cheapest.

The feedback on strength gains with ATP Elite has been great. Even people like Hyde that are enhanced really like it. It would cover your creatine + much more.

My favorite overall natural anabolic is Anabolic XT. I get great results from it and good consistent strength gains and I really like the other benefits from it.

Prime XT is excellent for strength for most people that use it. We discuss this a lot in the thread on it that for some people they get nice and consistent gains, for some it takes 3 to 5 weeks to start working and those get unreal type gains when it kicks in, and then like any natural single ingredient there will be a few that it won't work as well for as others.

For me, if I was doing strength focused training exclusively and picking 3 products, it would be:
ATP Elite
Prime XT
Anabolic XT

X-Gels are great for strength too. I personally just can't use them bc I have an autoimmune condition.

Yeah prime XT is one of my fav for stregth

Stacked with Atp elite

If budget only allows one .. id day atp elite should run year around and in future hopefully can throw in primeXt

I would encourage you to take the time to read our product write ups. They are very in depth and often talk about the studies done on the ingredients.

You made the comment "Only almost plant extracts here" - most of what you listed are very specific and specialized extracts, many of them are patented branded ingredients, and most have numerous clinical studies on them.

If you have specific questions, I'm glad to answer them. But there are so many studies on that list of ingredients, it would take me a week to type and explain it all - and much of it is covered in the product write ups.

May I ask you to use your undoubtedly richest experience of all of us, and summarize all of these studies in a hierarchy of strength gain effectiveness?
For example
DL-185™ patented Dileucine Peptide - 23% strength gain
Anacyclus Pyrethrum DC (Root) Extract - 12% strength gain

With 100’s of different studies you can’t compare like that. Some on College men and others on 75 year old women. Some on 24 hour studies, some on 8 week studies. Some on untrained individuals, some on experienced lifters. You’re just going to have to try what people have mentioned for what budget allows.

I'm sorry, but you're asking me to go through dozens, if not hundreds of studies, and summarize them for you; and there isn't enough hours in the day and there are too many variables for it to be accurate regardless.

We provide the most detailed write ups in the industry, many of which take dozens of hours to compile and write, and many of which do what you're asking for - discuss studies, summarize data, etc.

For example, you mentioned DL-185 and the MPC-185 write up discusses the study on that in great detail.

That's why I encouraged you to read the write ups if you haven't.

Here's are several reasons that it isn't possible to accurately do what you're asking:
  • Almost all clinical studies are done on single ingredients.
  • Percentage increases are averages across studies and the studies are done on individual ingredients, not on many different ingredients used together.
  • Many of the products that you mentioned contain multiple ingredients that have clinical studies on them individually, and then the products are formulated to contain ingredients that will work well together and compliment each other via method of action pathways.

It's impossible to tell you how much strength you're going to gain off of anything, even Creatine and ARA, because it depends on a number of variables including your diet, training, genetics, training experience, etc.
  • There are tons of studies on creatine and creatine is great, but the studies if we look at percentages are completely different if we look at people with years of training experience versus beginners.
    • Example 1 - someone new at training is likely going to see higher % increases than someone like @Hyde, who is enhanced and a competitive power lifter. Yet for someone like him to get the results that he has from ATP Elite (Creatine HCI, PEAK ATP, ElevATP, Senactiv, & AstraGin) is actually more impressive than a for a person new to training to gain a lot higher % - because he is already so advanced.
    • Example 2 - for people new to strength training, strength and muscle come quicker, so the gains may seem more impressive, but its actually more impressive when things work for people like @Resolve10 and @TheMrMuscle who are lifetime natural athletes/bodybuilders. The % numbers may not seem as impressive, but that's because they are so advanced and accomplished in their training that its much harder to make progress.

I hope that all makes sense. I'm glad to help, but its not possible to make it a simple accurate % chart.
