Ok, time for the final review of the Plasmagen & Creatine Nitrate stack. I'll give my thoughts on each individual product then the combo itself.
Plasmagen
Pros - From the amount of tingles you get from the first dose, you can tell the ingredients aren't under-dosed. I love the combo of citrulline malate, BA, GPLC and arganine together. At the beginning I really couldn't tell a lot from Plasmagen except for the tingles but as time went on I started noticing my recovery periods shortening and my cardio type classes beginning to get easier. After about 2 weeks I started noticing better endurance with my bball playing as well. I could play longer without getting fatigued as much. At the end of the bottle I began noticing less DOMS after heavy lifting days.
Cons - The biggest con I have with Plasmagen is when I got the bottle, some of the caps were broken and there was residue over many of the caps. I would say there was about 4 to 5 caps that were broken. Also, besides the tingles, it takes a few weeks before you really start feeling the effects of Plasmagen, so for those of you looking for the quick caffeine fix, your not going to get that from this product. The other con is you have to take so many pills. I work-out at the fitness center at work, so when some of the people saw me popping 8 red pills at a time, they were looking at me like I was some juice head or something.
Creatine Nitrate
Pros - Just like creatine-mono for me, I noticed really good strength increases with the nitrate. I started out at 225 for 5 on bench press at ended at 280 for 5. I probably could have went heavier but I've been sick the last week and I didn't have a spotter. But when I hit 280 for 5, I still had some left in the tank. The most I've done is 305 for 3 reps while on 1-AD about 2 or 3 years ago. I don't think I could have hit that mark but I think I could have got 300 for a few reps. Overall, not to shabby for a legal, safe over-the-counter product that doesn't fall in the grey area. And the other big plus for CN is for those that experience bloat on creatine-mono like myself there is none on CN. This supplement would go great for those looking to retain/gain muscle and strength on a cut.
Cons - Can't really think of a lot of cons except again, the amount of pills to take. Standard dose is 4 caps pre and 4 caps post. Other than that this supplement is gold.
Combo
The numbers don't lie, I started out at 199lbs at 14.3% body fat and ended at 198lbs at 13.9% body fat with my strength increasing on all lifts (as mentioned above, bb bench went from 225 for 5 to 280 for 5). I loved this stack, strength increased as well as endurance/cardio output. So, will I purchase this stack again? Absolutely!!! This has been by far one of the most pleasant and surprise stacks I've taken recently. Creatine-mono has always treated me good but I've never had strength increases like this while losing a little body fat at the same time.
So my final review of this stack is a huge :thumbsup:
APS got this right on the money. And don't even get me started about the stack along with Mesomorph. I'm talking best workouts in you life stack.
So, with that, I'd like to thank Judgement Day and APS for selecting to review this product as well as making it so easy for me to give a 10/10 review.
