Been on GW for about 6 weeks now. 20mg daily. I did a little reading before purchasing, but had misinterpreted what I read, thinking it might counteract lethargy and so on. Anyway, I hardly do any cardio, but plan to start integrating some of that in my workouts soon. Anyway.... After taking this stuff for about 4 weeks, I came to the conclusion that while it seems to help a bit with maintaining muscle (which is a good thing), I didn't really notice any other benefits.... until recently.
A couple of weeks ago, we had to move both of our sons out of the house, in the same weekend. For two days straight, we were loading and unloading u-hauls. Up and down flights of stairs with sofas, washers, dryers, tables, etc.... in hot humid weather. I'm 48, and after the first couple of hours of this I figured I was going to fade out and need multiple breaks. Well, long story short, I basically felt like a cyborg throughout the entire two day ordeal. Of course there were times where a bit of fatigue set in, mostly in my forearms and grip, but stamina was endless. I now know where the value in this stuff lies - pure stamina. I could see this being extremely useful for construction workers, landscapers, etc. Not sure about pure cardio output cause I haven't tested that, but man, I was amazed at how I just kept going and never actually got really tired. Even came home after the final move and cut the grass (not a riding mower, either) in 90+ temps with high humidity. I remember as I was cutting grass thinking, man I would normally feel exhausted by now, and it was the strangest feeling to be able to keep going without that feeling that you're about to just drop from sheer exhaustion. I'm assuming the effects of this probably don't last long after you come off of it, but I will definitely continue cycling this for the foreseeable future.
