IF Lean Bulking: RecoverPro, TTA-500 (and more)

RecoverPro has been helping a lot. Really digging this 4:1:1 ratio :D
Like I said in the first post I never really noticed a difference with them before but while fasting I have noticed a definite change. I recover faster and my muscles stay fuller longer, also really helps take the edge off of hunger. Like everyone else on this forum I have an insatiable fetish for eating and I turn into a prissy princess when I'm hungry, this helps me not rip everyone's head off for breathing too close to me or something.

Just my thoughts on it!

Feel a little funny today, Creatine never sits well with my stomach and for some reason I decided to mix a scoop in with my recoverpro. Now it's bothering me, just took 2 more scoops of RP hoping that'll help.

Today should be day 7 of Smolov jr plus leg hypertrophy but if I keep feeling this bad I'll save legs for a day I can actually kill them. I hate missing a day but I hate not being able to focus and give it my all even more.

How's the added salt treating you?

Well I've never tried Hemavol without it before I just read CriticalBench's tips yesterday so I figured I would give it a go. And my arms are still slightly pumped and ready to go lol
 
Distilled Water said:
I wanted to try that trick but then I got sick. I'm really interested in trying it with 1 scoop micro & 1 scoop hemavol. Getting some nitrates and stims in there.

I had great pumps from WMS + 2 scoops micro, plan Jane. Good to hear feedback though.

Word try it! If you need a scoop of Hemavol I got you man

I'm the same way here in the CA Central Valley. For am cardio I'm bundled like an Eskimo at 40' but after work I'd be fine in shorts and a cut off at 85' it sucks. I just always to with sweatpants and a 3/4 sleeve.

Lmao it takes me a couple months to get used to the cold. And the time change means its pitch black by the time I lift nowadays. So lame

Edit: but 3/4 sleeves are my favorite, I need to grab a couple more

closing down this log, really enjoyed the recoverpro (have about 10-15 scoops left) and I am shying away from IF as I am about to get into full swing bulking. the TTA has been amazing, I haven't been eating the healthiest and I've been drinking more than I should have because I have been stressed out so much with school and working 30-40 hours a week but I still think I am fairly lean after a 9 days of my diet hiatus. (pics soon)

I wish I could have ended this on a solid week but I haven't been lifting more than 3-4 times a week anyway. I'll definitely follow up with a review once I finish the tub and the bottle of tta.

thank you all for following and thanks Jiggamanbill and Celorza again. These products fit my goals spot on. Seriously can't thank you enough. For yall its a bottle of product but for me it was more than that, yall helped me reach a goal I set for myself. *insert single tear here*

off to write these essays!

until next time,

Stephen
