Basso's USPLabs Creatine Beta Log

[Basso]

Ok I'm finally getting this log started! I'm on my 3rd day of taking the little magic Red/White pills.

- Over 20+ years of supplement experience
- Creatine Mono responder / CEE Non responder
- Currently off creatine 4 weeks+

- Basic Stats: 5'9" @ 235lbs ~16%bf

Here is a list of everything I'm taking for this 30 day period
Multi
C
Cissus
REM R3G
ZMA
Fish+Flax oil
Stims as needed
AI Cycle support

I've been on this protocol for the past 30 days except cycle support which I started 6 days ago. I'm taking 2 caps upon waking about 5am and 2 more pre w/o about 4-5pm.

I'm in the middle of a cut/recomp and anticipate this should put a little weight on me initially, and as expected I've put on 2lbs already. I don't expect to gain more than 5lbs total from the creatine though. Other then the slight weight gain I don't have anything to report yet on the effects.

In my sig under current logs is my daily w/o log with a link to my diet, So most questions will probably be answered in there concerning w/o and diet. I'm currently carb cycling High/Low/None every three days, My w/o corresponds to the diet so it looks like this
High/Legs
Low/Chest
None/Arms
High/Back
Low/Shoulders
None/Arms or off
I do cardio about 3-4 times a week, mostly cycling.

Any questions, feel free to ask, I'll be posting as I notice any effects or at least every couple days to comment on non-effect, but with my experiences with USPLabs I have high hopes!

After I made the first post I started reading some of the other logs, so as per USP I've adjusted the second intake to 15min prior to post W/O meal (as of yesterday).

I'm really not noticing much of anything, I've lost 1lb of the weight gained since I started. I'm not getting that full muscle feel, so now that it's been 5 days I'm going to up the dose to 3 caps and see if that will yield results (unless USP directs otherwise). I've never had much luck with CEE though so it doesn't suprise me, but I was hopeful that this mix would prove me wrong, we'll see it's only been 5 days.

Go up to 3 caps 15 minutes before pre workout meal. Please be specific with timming.

Correct only 5 days.

Done, so day 6 I did as instructed, I did 3 caps in the AM too though and my lats felt pumped all day. My W/O got cut very short though so it wasn't a good day to judge the effect in the gym. I may take a couple days off, my CNS is shot! I'll dose throught the weekend with about 12hrs between.

Aug 7 Day 9

Dosing: I've been dosing 3 caps both in the morning and evening and today 15 min prior to pre w/o meal

Effects: Slight full muscle feel throughout the day, good pump in the gym today, weight still holding steady.

I'm going to stay at 6 caps unless directed otherwise, I'm not really seeing much from this yet, but will give it some more time, Mono normally kicks in for me between day 6-10 so by the end of the week I hope to see some effects.

Awesome!!

Aug 8 Day10

Nothing dramatic to report, didn't really notice the full feeling today. I had a good leg w/o, felt strong (for cutting anyway). I was looking through some other logs and noticed that when you recommend the 3 before pre w/o meal they were continuing with the post w/o dose, should I be doing this also? I will start 3 doses of 3 tomorrow unless you think I should stay where I'm at.

Aug 10 Day 12

Dosing: Past 2 days 3/3/3

Effects: Today I forgot to bring my preW/O dose to work with me so I mixed up a Dex/Whey/BCAA drink to sip on while I walked to the gym and during my W/O, popped the pre W/O dose and started sipping 15min later. I had a great W/O pulled 500x5 in the DL which is the most reps I've pulled in a very long time, I don't know if it was the little red pills but I'm looking forward to the next couple W/Os to see. Tomorrow is a rest day, then Sat I'll be doing Chest if I get 405x5 on the Bench I'll take a life time supply.

Aug 12 pre-Day 14

It's the morning of the last day and I'm prepping for the gym in about an hour! I really think this w/o will be a good indication of how this supp has worked for me, I haven't really had any noticable "feeling" other then some minor fullness effects but only when it first started to kick in. If my strength is up still today I may go ahead and run the rest of the bottle, I will assess this later today and let you know. Anyway I will give a full assessment later today after all doses are complete!

 

[Basso]

Final Assesment

Dosing: For me the 3/3/3 was when I started to really have any effects, it would be interesting to go a little higher.

Effects: I had some of the full muscle feeling but it was not consistent so it was really hard to judge. The last few days my weight increased a couple lbs and I've had outstanding w/o's! Strength was good, but mostly stamina was increased so I believe that the product didn't really kick in until I had gone to 9 a day. I feel like I'm on creatine now, which I hadn't really felt the first ~10 days. Also recovery has improved.

Overall impression: Not totally impressed but definitely see some promise in the product. I'm going to continue the product until the bottle is empty and I'll give some feedback, but I may be throwing some other products in the mix also. I would probably give it a go if it hits the shelves but I would definitely do 9 a day for around 30 days to give it a really good evaluation. I give it a 6 out of 10 at this point with the option to adjust

Thanks USPlabs once again for allowing my to be your guinee pig, you guys are putting out some great products and my cupboards are turning into a USP store! I'll throw up an update when I emtpy this bottle, I have enough left to do 5 days at 3/4/3.
