ArA

Cissus and fish oils far away from ARA dose, lifesavers.
 
I never get that bad of DOMS on ArA, but get ridiculous results.
 
Yeah I do both cissus and fish oils. Cissus was a miracle worker helping me get over a shoulder injury. But the DOMS ARE manageable. Reminds me of when I first started lifting.
 
When I had the 1st batch of X-Factor way back when, the DOMS were just enough to make me sore but weren't way too bad to keep me from the gym.

I think it was the first time I had unquestionably awesome results from a supplement, haha.

I'm thinking about picking up an ArA supplement again in a week or 2 actually.
 
Love me those X-Factor DOMS, had a hard time getting used to it when I did my first cycle about 8 years ago... now I very much welcome them as soreness is harder to come by as a veteran weight lifter.

I am enjoying it. One week in the pumps are noticeably better and seem to last for days.

I notice this as well. I'm currently on a break and I notice the all-day pump has gone :( can't wait to start again.
 
I couldn't sleep for two days after I first took x-gels because the doms in my hamstrings hurt so bad. I'm a week and a half in and they're pretty much gone though

Wow, that sounds extreme. Haven't heard of DOMS that bad before. Sure it wasn't some sort of injury?
 
yeah I was actually going very light that week because I was coming back from being sick. I sleep on my side so all the pressure on one leg made the doms exponentially worse
 
I'm wondering if other supplements or perhaps diet or amount of cardio may have an effect on the intensity of DOMS on ArA.

Diet sure does. I notice ArA allows me to increase carb count quite a bit.

Also the effects are noticeable already and im astounded by how well its working. I'm 6 weeks into my cut and today benched and OHP'd more than I was able to do even when bulking. And that's after having to drop my lifts all by around 10 lbs because I was getting weaker from the cut before starting ArA
 
I set a new deadlift PR and went up on calves, extensions, and leg curls. And I'm on a cut. Hell of a leg day this stuff is amazeballs and I don't even use that word.

2 XF gets me sore, 4 gets me REALLY sore, 6 is just ridiculous. The DOMS seem to be highly individual though.

My recovery actually improved with ara

This is actually quite typical, as inflammation is the bodies natural response to damaging/stressing your bodily tissue (as weightlifting does). It speeds up the recovery process.

Awesome results man. Using Ara with Betaine, Creatine and Beta Alanine is like PR heaven
 
I actually just started some tmg today and I have lclt and agmatine on the way. I'm gonna be so pumped my clothes won't fit.

its weird though. and can also depend on the workout of the individual like if someone half asses it they won't see much, but if someone actually goes all out intense as fuk high volume you will notice it right after. like straight after legs, when i got home from 6 xgels my legs were already in pain LOL

Ever use ArA alongside LCLT?

I have a tub of MyoBuild I'll probably use alongside X-Gels next go-around.

a lot of ppl recommend lclt with ArA, i'm currently running it that way since lclt is in compete and i use that intra workout.....probably too early to really tell a huge difference just yet

but i have to say i take hemavol pre with ArA and today I was able to really see the pump through an under armour hoodie....didn't feel a huge pump but I was able to really see the roundness of my shoulder popping out

I like lclt and alcar. Each one has their benefits.
 
Young Gotti said:
do you take both? it seemed to me like it was one or the other and since i had compete on hand i figured there was no need to get alcar for my ara run

One at a time. I like lclt for more of it's physical function and if I need a mental pick me up at times I like alcar. Alcar is awesome preworkout which one of the reasons I like it.

That is what I do.. just get my LCLT and LCLF from compete.

It's convenient for sure, a lot of my fav pres and intras have LCLT in them these days.

Peak Beta+, Strive, Compete, BioShock, etc

Same here. I usually go with ALCAR simply for the mental acuity benefits pre workout. Really helps keep me on point and focused during my lifting sessions.

I'm a really big fan on ALCAR pre as well, cognitive benefits preWO are always welcome!
