So I finally finished capping my YG up and I'm ready to use. This is what I've got:

Per 2 caps:
Yellow Gold-- 512 mg
Activin grapeseed-- 201 mg
Apple Polyphenols-- 202 mg
Pomegranate p40p-- 85 mg

I have 100 caps in total and will be dosing at 2-3 servings (4-6 caps) per day 20 minutes before meals with carbs. Truth be told, I don't eat very many carbs. But I tried YG a few times before capping it and in all honesty, it didn't give me any carb cravings or make me feel lethargic in any way. In fact, I'm not sure I felt much of anything. But we'll see as I continue using it. Or maybe I need to add some Cialabol to it? :D ;)

Anyone interested in my workout/diet?
 
I am interested in your diet. When are you dosing YG? What are your carb sources? I've been using half malto half dextrose pre/during/post workout. Is malto too high on the GI to use with YG, I'm assuminf the dextrose is. Enlighten me. :D
 
ill be taking yellow gold in powder forum, three times a day 1/4tsp per dose. How much carbs do i wanna take with this stuff and is oats and whole grain bagles ok carbs too use with this stuff?
 
Carb sources mainly include:

Peanuts and other nuts and seeds (minimal though)
fruit, usually banana
sprouted-grain bread, oatmeal
seasonal roots and squash
ice cream :) (very seldom, but it must be done)

My total carb intake on a high carb day would probably be about 150 grams. On other days it generally doesn't go above 30-40 grams.

I take the YG before a meal with carbs usually earlier in the day.

Most people seem to be taking approximately 60 grams of complex carbs 20 minutes after YG dose. So yeah, oats will work well I think.
 
that's kind of like my diet, save for the decadent refeeds on the weekend, and higher carb quota on heavy training days.

I've been doing heavy 5x5 training for quite a while. I've just changed my training to a higher volume lower weight in the range of 10-12 reps with super short 30-45 second rest periods. It's killing me! lol

But I do a lot of training outside of weightlifting too. Parkour type stuff mostly. Believe it or not, but I have way better endurance and strength when eating low carb. I don't want to sacrifice that.

But my carb intake also reflects my desire to strip some bodyfat. When I get to sub 10% BF levels, I will likely increase carb intake a little bit. I blubbered up a bit while going through the hassle and stress of moving to a new house. It was a freakin mess, the whole ordeal was just f'ed up. It's all good though. ;)

Any reason why you choose pomegranate extracted for 40% punicosides rather than the ellagic acid that bac carries? I'm also interested in diet, or more specific other supplements employed.

Oh dude, I hear ya. I moved in June and have not been the same since. lol

Because the pom extract is water extracted. And I wasn't going just for ellagic acid content. I prefer to get a broader spectrum in these cases.

As for diet, well other than what I already listed as carb sources, I use 50 grams of whey isolate everyday and eat a good amount of peanut butter. Probably go through about a dozen eggs per day and if not eggs then a pound of beef. I eat a lot of veggies too.

Supplements:
--NOW Foods: Eco Green Multi, Digestive Enzymes, Cayenne, Mineral Caps, Virgin Coconut Oil, stevia extract
--Carlson Cod Liver oil
--ALCAR / citrulline-malate mixture (before cardio)
--magnesium creatine chelate / ALCAR-arginate-di-hcl / diarginine-malate mixture before lifting weights
 
The Empty Stomach Experiment

So I decided to try YG on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, then head out for a run to gauge how this might affect endurance (assuming a drop in blood sugar).

What I noticed was a mild drop in endurance, but nothing as severe as I was expecting. In any case, this shows me that at least YG is doing what it's supposed to. I thought I was a non-responder for a while.

But it should be noted that I've become very used and adapted to a low carb lifestyle and have always been very sensitive to insulin.

I'm thinking I ought to say **** the rapid fat burn plan and just increase my carb intake for the sake of this log. I really want to experience what YG is made of and I think carbs are crucial to that.

Would also be interesting to see YG in a low CHO approach. From personal experiements, I have increased carbs 100% without fat gain and for me that is a miracle and a blessing. My fat cells likes the CHO's..
 
Well, i've used YG several times already in a very low CHO environment and I can't say I notice anything. I really think it's dependant on having carbs to shuttle into muscles. And since I wanna get all swole up and veiny, I'm gonna start eating the carbs.

Besides, carbs are convenient for me seeing as how I don't have a fridge or stove to work with. :blink:
Plus it's pumpkin season and I MUST eat me some pumpkin.

And how come I didn't hear about DNA until just today???!!!
 
Well, I've been trying YG with increased carbs and honestly, I have yet to notice what other people report. And I'm eating WAY more carbs than usual, taking YG exactly as prescribed. It's kinda weird.

Anyways, I'm gonna start experimenting with higher doses, bumping up the YG to 750 mg.

Maybe I need something stronger? Maybe some Anabolic Pump?

Maybe some :donut:

You would be the first non responder..
 
I respond to everything. :D *cough*

I was taking much more carbs on Cialabol, with negligible fat gain and full belly muscles. Definitely a winner.. this Leutolin or however you spell it... or whatever you call it. I call it winner.

YG is Anabolic Pump. That would be odd if you were a non responder. Its one of the few things I respond to from a HUGE list of supps that people love. But everyone is different.
 
I am using the YG as well. I have used as high as a gram so far. I have used it with between 60 and 100gms of both high or low GI carbs and so far have not noticed a change in muscle fullness , pumps etc. I continue to experiment to see if I can figure out now its best used by my body. I can say the other day I ate a gram straight out of bed and purposely skipped carbs for and hour and a half to see if I would go hypo which I did not. If there is are suggestions to maximize the effectiveness I am up for them.

I can skip my carbs after taking YG and not get the dizzy light headed feeling of hypo but I get the increased hunger part of it.

I thought anabolic pump was phellodendron or something.

Yellow Gold=Anabolic Pump=Phellodendron

Yellow Gold=Beta testing Name

Anabolic Pump= Final Name

Phellondendron= the active ingredient
 
How long does it take to really feel and see it's effects? I just started today, 500 mg with 3 of my heaviest meals and havn't really noticed anything. Gonna work out in a little bit so I will see how the pumps go.

I just get a very very mild pump mainly for me its in my traps when I take it without working out. I don't find it THAT noticeable but I'm pretty in tune with my body. For me its not about the pump at all. Took me a few weeks to really SEE the difference. I love it for the fat loss while still being able to add muscle. Ive been on it for over 5 weeks and it hasn't stopped working. All my pants are looser on me yet my strength hasn't gone down.
 
How's your diet? I'm wondering because the claims by YG are sort of confusing. Take it with low glycemic carbs and you'll feel energized, take it with high glycemic carbs and you will feel like ****. Well, this happens anyways when you eat high glycemic so how is that any different when you take yellow gold. Plus if your diet is right on, your eating the right carbs, your going to lose fat while keepiung your strength too. Just seems like its banking on people eating right and getting results they would have normally attained anyways. The product description claims makes it seem as if you can eat whatever you want and you cannot store fat. Maybe someone can clear this up for me.

I UPPED my food intake :) Meaning I started to lose fat yet I was eating more. As for myself I get tired eating High Gi yes BUT I get even MORE tired with High Gi and YG. I upped my carbs up quite a bit and I lost fat without loosing muscle. I started eating tons of whole wheat bagels, whole wheat crackers with light cream cheese even added in some not so lean steak. This was on top of what I usually eat. I'm only speaking for myself here but Ive been eating what I want within reason. I don't do the whole donuts/ice cream/bugers or pizza thing even when I'm cheating so I cant comment on that kinda of bulking :)
 
kudos to you Rivet, and karma, thanks for some clarification. Would be interesting though to see how this works for splurges over the holidays when we know were gonna eat junk food more often and much higher cals.

Hmm is this definate? I remember reading the post by usp explaining the multi ingredients and the importance of having them in the correct ratios to one another.

Link me to that post please..
 
Heres one link to a thread where the formula you detailed as luteolin, piperine and tumeric
Invalid Link Removed

Third page a few posts down "with piperine it increases 2000%! You have to use the correct amount of piperine..So there you go guys formula is

Tumeric
Piperine
luteolin

Luteolin is the pump and anti E effect
Tumerice is muscle regeneration quick recovery and slight pump
Piperine-bioavailability--very important

An amazing formula!

Ratio is extremely important and an aspect we tinkered with for over 4 months. Please do not ask amounts of each."

Correct but there was a MISC ingredient. The reason for the diversion and a formula was to trick competitors. Rumor has it YG was purchased from a competitor and tested. They are bringing it to production....I hate this aspect of the industry. I hate that it forces deception. I could not release the real ingredient until the patent was filed.

take care
 
Well guys, I know this hasn't been the most orthodox of reviews, but I think I'm basically ready to make an assesment of YG.

All I can say is I must be a non-responder. I tried several different dietary manipulations, changes in training, used up to a double dose of YG and still I haven't been able to obtain the results that a lot of other users have reported. In a way I feel special. But then again, it kinda sucks not getting it cause the reports on pump and muscle fullness are really great.

Well, I still have about 1/4 of my YG left and I think I'm just gonna low-dose it from now on as part of a antioxidant stack.

Of course this doesn't sour my opinion of USP at all... I think most people know by now how much I like your supps. :)
 
Aeternitatis, you take apple polyphenols? Why? Do you notice a benefit?

I got excited about them after some Japanese study showing they made lab rats leaner and stronger. I've used them off and on but can't say I've noticed anything.
 
Well from what USP has been saying Anabolic Pump is going to be different from Yellow Gold, improved, more potent so you still might wanna give Anabolic Pump a shot.
