Howdy A.M.
I am entering post cycle therapy now from a 6-month cycle. As you know, I was in CR and had some great experiences, and some issues that were out of the norm for me as far as diet and environmental control goes. I did however increase my global capacity for evolving in whatever environment I am in. Evolution... Thats a funny word.
To help me retain the 20lbs I have gained and lose the 5-7 pounds of fat I have gained in the last 6 months, ALRI has been kind enough to supplement my dieting with a number of products. The first I will mention is the is the EVOLUTION stack.
Bad Ass Mass:
Bad Ass Mass™ is designed to support serious mass gain through the most effective pro-anabolic pathways.
-Stimulate muscle AR’s for enhanced protein synthesis and tissue repair.
-Bind SHBG to increase levels of free testosterone.
-Increase LH/FSH to maximize output of natural testosterone.
-Increase glycogen retention and optimize internal hydration levels.
-Support superior protein synthesis through modulation of transcription factors.
-Inhibits excessive cortisol levels for an anti-catabolic effect.
-Promote recovery of the neuromuscular matrix.
-Provide superior results either in a synergistic stack or as a standalone supplement
Jungle Warfare:
Pro-Hypertrophic Proprietary Matrix For Increased Myotrophic Activity!
So, obviously by now everyone knows that anabolic/androgenic steroids (anabolic steroids), prohormones (PH) and prosteroids (PS) work rather well for aiding lean tissue growth by increasing the anabolic response in muscle tissue thus shuttling nutrients away from fat and feeding them to muscle...and most know that they can have serious side effects like jail, HPTA shut-down, liver enzyme and lipid issues. Oh, and they are banned by about every sporting organization on the planet. Many are willing to take these risks, but it may not be necessary or a best choice for the goals desired.
The way that all androgens (anabolic steroids, PH and PS alike are types of androgens) trigger anabolism (protein synthesis/myotrophic activity) in muscle cells is interesting. Once an androgen is in the circulatory or lymphatic system, its molecules merge with androgen receptors (AR’s...remember that term, there will be a test at the end) thus acting as an AR agonist. (Agonist cause a response...antagonist stop one...unless it is an ex-girlfriend of course) The molecule basically delivers a message to the cell telling it what to do. The reason anabolic steroids and other androgen-type compounds are so coveted in the underground is simply due to the fact that they deliver a "make more proteins" message in a get bigger and perform better way. (Did I mention the negative side affects?) It is possible to do this without hormones and deliver a significant myotrophic message muscles will pay attention to…without the negative side affects.
What's So Great About Jungle Warfare?
-Increased myotrophic activity
-Favorable nutrient repartitioning
-HPTA modulation
-Estrogen management
-Significant Pro-Hypertrophic capacity
-Anti-Catabolic
What's In It?
Naturally, our design was intended to have a synergistic effect in that one compound’s actions amplifies the others. (I am sure some can think of comparisons to this important point of design). The result is a synergistic Pro-hypertrophic from ALRI featuring an Herbal Proprietary Myotrophic Complex. (Get the name Jungle Warfare™ yet?) Mormordica Chirantia Extract - We use a specific dual extraction/standardization process that allows us to use both the insulinogenic and non-androgenic AR agonistic fractions unique to a proprietary mormordica chirantia extraction. By doing so, we can foster the hypertrophic event in lean tissue via the two most important mechanisms without the usual negative side effects.
ADED (5a-dehydro-etiocholane-1,4,6-trien-3-one-17-ol) - Many are aware of both the positive and negative physiological issues relating to the naturally occurring aromatase inhibitory ATD. Most of the benefits are the result of one of its physiological 17-OH metabolites. ADED is a natural non-androgenic metabolite of ATD with improved oral bio-availability. Please, do not confuse this with ATD itself as the difference is very important both in structure and action: Some may recall this one from our Ultra H.O.T.ter matrix but to recap…By modulating estrogen build-up the negative feed-back look to the hypothalamus is put in check. The result is that the body optimizes natural testosterone production. We use our favorite aromatase inhibitor to do this and it works pretty well to modulate, instead of obliterate, estrogen. So we still have the right amount of estrogen for optimal growth of lean tissue, without the excess water weight and fat feeding aspect.
Conjugated (-)3,4-divanillyl-tetrahydrofuran - We utilize an excellent free testosterone optimizing compound called Conjugated (-)3,4-divanillyl-tetrahydrofuran. This is simply the result of a series of extraction processes performed upon nettle root. Many know of this herb due the anti-aromatase capacity and the studies that show its positive affects upon BHP in men. Some of the nettle extracts also have a positive affect upon the total testosterone to free/active testosterone ratio. More free testosterone means more “active” (as in the part that really matters) testosterone. Nothing really trick here other than it just works better than one would expect. (Nice for a change when something can be simple and effective). Of course, it is all about effective delivery into the body that makes it an asset.
Proprietary Conjugated Coleonol Extract - Hypotrophic-type receptor health and integrity is paramount to lean tissue optimization. In reality modulation is surprisingly dependant upon cAMP stimulation. Without it, receptor activity down-regulation occurs rapidly and the lean mass promoting symbiotic relationship between hormones goes in the toilet. The ALRI Proprietary Conjugated Coleonol Extract supports this need rather well.

Support Testosterone, Inhibit Estrogen To Promote Lean Mass!
In the ever expanding world of performance and health supplementation today, there is an assumed division between products considered "hard-core only", and those that are intended to promote lean mass acquisition by way of improved over-all health. Both groups of users actually may have the same goals…especially men. Facts are we are performance oriented men and want as much muscle building, sex-driving testosterone as humanly possible. I mean come on, can you find a guy that says "I want to be fat and feminine" (okay, one that isn't looking for a sex-change). We all want to be healthy optimized males! We don't want to deal with the negative side affects of excess estrogen from any source. It shuts down testosterone production and makes people fat and *****y. We like being men!
A Solution
ALRI Restore is not just another testosterone booster. Though an increase in testosterone production alone is pretty cool, and one of the reported major benefits of Restore, it would be only part of the Restore optimized male matrix. Instead we have opted to see how many arguments we can start (and knock-offs we can inspire) this time by raising the bar for product expectations beyond what any one product can currently offer performance oriented males; by doing the whole job. Its okay, we are men, we like competition!
Increased Free Testosterone
Free-T (Proprietary Pure Avenacosides Matrix) - Seems most males who use supplements for lean mass gains have heard of Avena Sativa. Yeah, I know, lots of products already have some form avena sativa or its extracts in it, so what makes this one special? Of course we used an extraction process for maximum active compound content (greatest possible amount of active milligrams per capsule), but in truth Restore™ as a product is special, our Free-T (Proprietary Pure Avenacosides Matrix) from avena sativa just works well in the whole matrix to provide maximum results.
In the body testosterone travels around in two forms: Bound or inactive; meaning it is bound to a protein called SHBGB, and Unbound or free; meaning it is free to do manly things like build muscle. Basically there are phytochemicals in avena sativa called avenacosides A and B. Some studies indicate avenacosides increase actual active or free testosterone in the body by freeing up the bound testosterone from SHBG so there is more active testosterone.
I know we are starting to have a bit of info on these products. I am quite interested to see how they work after such a long period of inhibition. To help combat my extra-ness in the belly area, FnF also gave me some lean dreams and special tactics! Isnt she the best!!!
I have added in some venom of my own, and now am looking at a total stack of ALRI products!
Since returning to the US, I need to list for you what I have been up to. This will be no ordinary test.
1) I have been using NOLVA for the last few months to combat some gyno symptoms. As soon as I am done with the Transdermal i am using to finish this long cycle, I will ramp up the NOLVA for 4 days to 60mgs. Then follow for 10 days of 40 mgs, and then 20 mgs for perhaps up to two months if necessary.
2) I would say on the average in CR my protein intake was around 225 grams per day. Well below where I need it for optimal growth. Since I have returned to the US, I have increased my protein 100 grams more a day. I am around 325 grams a day now. I can already feel and see the difference from that change in under two weeks.
3) I came back because of a job I got with a LARGE movie. I worked 6 days last week, 12 hours a day and two hours a day on the road. About 84 hours last week.
The good news, I am on my feet all day so fat loss will be easy. The bad news, I fear some may be muscle if I have trouble getting to the gym regularly, and sleeping. Luckily, pretty good food is plentiful.
4) I like to be violent to my body. I am good at it. 10 days ago I tore muscle belly in my left hamstring and have been trying to stay off of it this last week. It had been 8 weeks since my last break in training, and needed to take a break. My left hammy looked NASTY. I had a dark purple bruise with a swollen cherry on top going from below my glute and continuing close to my knee.
5) I am hoping to lift a 3 day split in a 10,8,6 increasing load fashion much like Glen lifts.
I am...
6'3
235lbs
14% bf
I would say my pregnant waist is somewhere around a 36.5 now. I look like I am carrying twins!!
I would like to thank ALRI and FnF for being so good to me, I hope my report will be useful. I look foward to any and all of your input.
Thanks.
