    Prime xt or alpha one for pure strength and growth in 12 weeks?

    I did a 3 bottle run, 6 caps off days, 9 caps workout days, after 3-4 weeks strength jumped about 10%, which went away about 2-3 weeks after stopping. Perhaps the strength boost is neurological. But you cannot put a lot value on my experience of the strength dropping off after till you hear...

    Prime xt or alpha one for pure strength and growth in 12 weeks?

    Just as it hadn’t been mentioned yet, arachidonic acid (SNS X-Gels, 6 caps/day) works very well for me in terms of strength, muscle fullness, and pump. XPG Carnitine Gel (4 pumps pre-workout) provides a very big boost in workout endurance and power. The combination may be synergistic, as...

    Opinions on this approach? (Comparison to a conventional scheme included): Scenario Comparison for Body Composition 1) Even macro split (35P / 35C / 30F, protein all day) Pros • Constant amino acid availability → minimal muscle breakdown. • Frequent protein → keeps mTOR...

    Pre-workout: A fruit-heavy, low-protein meal → FGF21 rises. FGF21 increases insulin sensitivity, enhances nutrient partitioning, and raises energy expenditure. Muscles enter training in a state primed to pull in glucose and store less fat. Training: High-intensity lifting further boosts...

    Would be a fun bulk wouldn’t it lol 😜 I forgot to post this table I found to be useful for a quick reference:

    Yes I read that study, the reason why this is beneficial for me is the increase in energy over the day. Even just 10 grams of WPI, or 2 eggs added to my now standard morning smoothie, reduces my energy for several hours in the morning with another dip in the afternoon. This effects my work...

    It remains an interesting angle to explore though, even if currently it doesn’t entirely deliver. A few interesting angles: Carbohydrate push (also raises FGF21, with trade-offs) 3 days of carb overfeeding (80% carbs; protein not restricted) → ~8× FGF21, leg glucose uptake +62%, hepatic...

    Yes indeed, this diet, for me, is not enjoyable, and therefore unsustainable without some specific supplementation, likely addressing some key deficiencies. The amino acids I do supplement (with timing) do not blunt fgf-21 release to a significant degree, but simultaneously I have strong...

    I’ll just leave this here if any of you wants to have a go at it again sometime. Non-essential amino acids with evidence for satiety: Glutamine Converted in the gut to glutamate, GABA, and glucose precursors. Oral glutamine has been shown to raise GLP-1 and insulin, both of which reduce...

    In my experience you do need to supplement to support mood, energy, feelings of well being, sleep quality to make this work well. For mood I absolutely need Omega 3, Vitamin D, choline. Necessary amino acids: glycine, 3-5 grams 2-3 times a day, l-serine is a good add to this, as is sarcosine...

    A log with vague goals

    Just a quick chime in from my own sugar experiments, it does indeed appear to boost metabolism, which I guess is not strange considering the high carb intake. My maintenance is somewhere above 2700 kcal now, appeared to be around 2300 kcal before. My sugar fast limit is about 36 hours, shorter...

    Oh man really? I cap it in OOO caps. It borderline burns my tongue 🤣 I’m not a fan of sour foods in general though. Do completely agree on the benefits. I take the sns bulkpowder daily with breakfast, probably works out to ~800mg, and sns elite choline pre workout. The bulk powder gives me more...

    I just keep thinking this can’t be right lol 😂 Goes against decades of learning/programming. But then I thought, ah screw it. I’m over 50, let’s live a little. Maybe this is my midlife crisis, some people buy Harleys, I’m just hoarding marshmallows. At least my teeth are shaking, even if my...

    A log with vague goals

    Thinking about it some more it’s could also just be from the increased workout intensity, perhaps recovery is compromised, however, would it be more or less compromised then for example IF? .. Yesterday (Sunday) I had a rest day but today I still have relatively strong DOMS from both my Friday...

    A log with vague goals

    Curiously I have gained strength, while also noticing stronger DOMS, maybe there’s some kind of increased adaptation response? I cannot find anything other than the high sugar intake and FGF21 provide some protection against catabolism.
