AP in Egypt

[NuruddinZangi]

Well. Just wanted to say that Anabolic Pump has graced the exotic land that has always been associated with bodybuilding, Egypt. And a thank you to nutraplanet: you guys are amazing, as you shipped it out the very same day I ordered (to my sister in canada), and today her friend delivered it to me here. I'm so excited!!

Got two bottles now, and one turned out to be the one with 500mg of P-Insulin (the pill is red). The other has the 750mg thing with the extra ingredient. I'm gonna start with hte 500mg one first. I suspect i might not feel much at first because of insulin resistance, but hopefully not. And if i do have some, then im hoping this will improve my insulin sensitivity.

This supp is great for me because I'm a vegetarian most of the time (but I have fish like once or twice a month). And in egypt, it's very hard being a vegetarian bodybuilder, if you're trying to avoid soy. Everything I eat comes with tons of rice or pasta (or both in the case of the famous egyptian dish Koshari which is made of rice, pasta, lentils, and chilli sauce). Anyway carbs make me gain fat just by looking at them, and so i always get a lot of weight in egypt. Hopefully this will turn being a vegitarian in egypt to my advantage.

I dont reall yknow my stats other than that i'm 171 cm (around 5'7) and weight around 87 kg. body fat percentage probably 17-18%. I dont want to make this into a log or anything, but if i do find a digital cam to take some pics with, and maybe measure my bf%, i'll try to share my results.


now question to nutraplanet, if anyone's reading this: if i really like this, can i order my next shipment directly to egypt?


p.s. My pre and post-workout shakes are ON's After Max, with 40g fast and complex carbs, and 40g protein. I should take AP before these shakes too, right? I'll give it a shot anyway tonight with my post-workout shake, just in case it has too little complex carbs and will make me feel bad. dont want it to ruin the workout. if i'm insulin resistant it might not affect me anyway for now.

in summary: thank you, and let's hope this makes my high carb diet a good thing (or less of an evil).

Well, I've only been taking one or two pills a day so far, before meals with starch or bread or rice or something. I dont really have a good diet so nothing's fixed. And I've been taking it before the pre and post workout shakes.

I'm really seeing a difference. My scale weight is the same, but I'm looking much bigger (especially when I'm pumped after the workout), and I'm getting leaner. I feel it's also improved my digestion, so probably improving my insulin sensitivity. So very happy so far, and can't wait to try the other bottle with the Symmetry.

Now I have a question, I just got a free sample bottle of Muscletech's ThermoGain. I never bought any muscletech stuff (cause I know better) and I know they're a bad company, but I've read tons of great reviews of this product, not as a fat burner but as a pre-workout stimulant. So I wanna be taking 1-3 pills before the workout. Now it has some ALA, but it doesnt say how much.

Can I take it or should I wait until I run out of AP? I usually take AP 15 mins before workout, and start drinking my pre-workout shake right before my first set. Can i take this like 15 mins before the AP?

thanks guys. And again, thanks for the AP, and hope to buy some more soon.

You are trying to lose weight and drinking a shake during a workout?

You are trying to lose weight and drinking a shake during a workout?

no no losing weight is not a priority. drinking a shake pre and post workout is the one thing im sure of in bodybuilding, and it does not lead to fat gain, no matter how many carbs you take. (i take 40g each of protein and carbs, once pre- and mid-workout, and once post).

and i dont think its impossible to keep gaining while losing some fat. i think that's probably happening with the AP.

i wanna take the thermogain only once a day (not the label recommendation of three times a day) because i wanna take it mainly for energy and focus in the gym (which ppl seem to be raving about).


umm,... anyway, what do you guys think? I mean, im never ever gonna stop taking pre and post workout shakes, whether im trying to bulk or lose weight. but i will take a break from AP after the end of the second bottles. should i just wait until then to take the thermogain?
