Thanks Wasme!

Oh yeah, amazing pumps! Its by far my #1 non-stim pre-workout. I typically mix it with stim pre's. I have even mixed it with my Intra-BCAA's... the lemon flavor is great!

barbell 21's - sprints around track

Perform a set of 21's then a sprinted lap?

 

[804]

Perform a set of 21's then a sprinted lap?

Yeah, I think some of that got cut off. I was doing a set of 21's with a barbell, then 2 sprinted laps (5 circuits total)

What is your current supplement protocol?

I missed some pages and want to catch up.

 

[804]

What is your current supplement protocol?

I missed some pages and want to catch up.

Currently:

AM: 2 Multivitamin + 1 cap PES erase + 2 fish oil + 1 gut health (Will be adding Anabeta again when my next shipment comes in)

Mid Morning: 1-2 scoops Alphamine

Pre-workout: one of the following: (Enhanced, Focus XT, Mr. Hyde, Hemavol, Conquer, Craze, or Jack3d micro) + 1 cap agmatine (500mg) + Sns Creatine Mono (5-10g based on preworkout) + 1 cap USPlabs AP (Will be adding Anabeta again when my next shipment comes in)

Intra: Modern BCAA+ sometimes I add a 1/2 scoop of OEP powder

Post: ~25-35g protein powder (OEP, Protean, or Trutein) + anabeta (soon)

PM (dinner): 1 cap multivitamin + 2 fish oils + 1 cap erase

PM (1 hour before bed): Casein shake


I probably forgot a few things. Think I need anything else?

 

[aceroni]

I usually take my post workout Anabeta with my actual next whole food meal, preferably one high in calories

 

[bdcc]

It looks thorough.

I like having pre workouts which don't contain nitrates for me to use between Enhanced cycles. Minus Enhanced and Jack3d Micro, how would you rate the others in terms of preference?

Thanks bro!

Obviously Enhanced and Micro are two top-tier preworkouts

I'm actually a pretty equal fan of all of them for the right reasons. I like to rotate PWO's just out of my own preference. Here's my breakdowns:

Hemavol: Love it for a great non-stim pump. Has great pumping agents like Agmatine, citrulline malate, and norvalline with no added stims. King of explosive pumps

Craze: The tunnel vision king of PWO's. Mild amount of caffeine. gotta have those days in the gym where there are no conversations and the headphones stay on the whole time.

Focus XT: Great for mental clarity with a good amount of caffeine. Great on a day where I want to focus on smaller muscle groups and really focus on hitting specific fibers and the angles that best work them. I'm not a guru on the ingredients of this one, but based on something Coop posted a while back I was sold on the actual "focus profile" of this PWO

Mr. Hyde: really more of a high octane "mainstream" pre-workout. Some days when I'm really exhausted or fatigued, Hyde is the best pick-me-up. High volume of caffeine, agmatine, L-leucine, and Beta alanine is sure to get me going after a long day. Probably one of the better mainstream pre-workouts. People have hated on its profile, but I like it when the time is right.

Conquer: Probably the only one that I don't care for as much as the others. Good ingredients in the prop blend, but for some reason I don't get too much out of this one. (I got the bundle from NP with Hemavol) When I take this one with hemavol, its a different story - great stackable pair!

 

[wasme]

Still haven't tried Hemavol... I was going to order through the planet, shipping was crazy..

Yeah I don't place an order unless the total is over $100, so I can use a coupon code

Shipping to Canada is the problem I think. Plus when it arrives there is fees at the door. I am going to Myrtle Beach in October, I dare say my suitcase will come home FULL lol
