Final Review
Still having trouble loading pictures, been busy getting thing together for my new job these past few days. Apologies to EBF & Lecheek for the delay.
I'll breakdown each product individually and then come to a common assessment of different areas at the end.
MasssHGH
I dosed at 3 caps before bed on an empty stomach, usually 1hr+ away form food.
Quality of Sleep
-I slept through the night the majority of the nights. I do not count waking up to pee as this is normal. As Marms pointed out, thank god I was waking up for that.
-With making the move form West coast to east coast the time change was a huge issue the first few nights and waking up numerous times before finally waking up at 1pm was a common occurance. It was still there slightly when I started the MassHGH but quickly helped me get into a better sleeping pattern.
-I was groggy when waking up the first week or so. Just was kind of out of it when I woke up, an odd feeling. It subsided as time went on.
Recovery
-I started training each bodypart twice per week. Soreness was never an issue, there were days I was dragging a bit but strength was always there.
Strength
-It climbed the entire run, provided my nutrition was there (a few workouts I had gone waaaaaay too long without food + hanging dry wall) but for the majority all lifts were up. I wasnt really focusing on strength gains, I was trying to Recomp so holding strength would have been ideal but I wont complain being stronger.
Other things I noticed
-Body hair growth. Most noticeably chest hair, the crap was growing like crazy. I usually have a few days inbetween shaving my chest but it was an every other day thing.
Negatives
-The groggyness the first week or so is really the only negative I can report.
Recompadrol
I played with the dosing a touch and found a sweet spot. I ended doing the following protocol
1 cap 20min before breakfast (25-30gr carbs)
2 caps 20min before pre-workout meal (75gr carbs)
1 cap 20min before Post-workout Meal (25-30gr carbs)
2 caps before bed with MassHGH
Blood Sugar
-I never felt hypo while taking before bed, or at least i was out before it could kick in
Post carb meal comas were never there or the intense hunger following about 30min post meal
Food Pumps
-Some times id get these, some times not. Types of carbs didnt matter because id do the same thing about every day. Perhaps more on the water/sodium side but theyre always nice
Ability to eat
-When my schedule got crazy and I had to hammer some cals I tried dosing up to 4 caps and hit a China Buffet
worked well, I ate and ate and ate but bloating was mild. Very suprised
GI Issues
-None, even tried before pro/fat meals with zero issues.
Now I'll get to the nitty gritty about the stack. Ive never ran either solo so i truly cannot judge affects seperete but I can as a stack.
Body Recomp
-I did recomp. Not as much as I would have liked but cardio was a bit off and thats my fault. Body fat was down almost 1% for the month with only a small fluctuation in body weight. Measurements of my waist dropped about 1/4" but my legs grew almost 1/2"!!!!!! Everything else had slight improvements
Muscle Fullness
-I never looked flat, ever. Woke up each morning dry and full which usually doesnt happen. I always look flat in the morning but I was presently surprised. Recompadrol KILLS glycobol in this department, period.
Pumps/Vacularity
-Solid pumps day in and day out. Not quite avi vascular but during my workouts, game over. Ive got a picture (that I cannot uoload :sad
of resting calf.shin vasculairty.
Would I recommend the stack?
-Yes, absolutely.
Recompadrol is a great GDA and versatility is awesome. I will be using in the future, most likely in conjunction with AP and the FTP training protocol. It is in my Top 3 GDA products.
MassHGH.....lets just say this anything that can help me recover from twice a week training, has my stamp of approval! The effects of MassHGH really seemed to come on strong at the end, I would advise anyone an 8 week run (bottle recommended) to get the full benefit.
Please feel free to ask me any questions about the stack if I did not answer them. I was to personally thanks EBF & Marms for the opportunity and I hope AM will find my review/log helpful.
