Would another creatine product alongside NeoVar not be redundant? Just wondering. I am currently on NeoVar and have never thought of adding another creatine product.Lanbane; said:I am looking for feedback from anyone who has intentionally run Neovar alongside another creatine product.
Which product did you run it with, and do you have any thing noteworthy to offer up?
Looking for confirmation on a few things I have noted
:whip:
I didn't stack on any creatine products...but I'll tell you this much, I must have had a sick pump going on. When the neovar bottle ran out, I was down .5" within a weeks time on my right arm.
wth, I feel so....deflated![]()
So Lanbane,
What have you noted that you'd like to share with us?
Thanks...
I started my second bottle of Neovar, running it at 6 caps 2x/day a week or so ago.
After the initial gastro problems (day one), I've had sick 'all day' pumps and some increased vascularity.
I've noticed veins across my chest that were not there before and my hands/forearms now have bulging veins. I've gotten lots of comments on 'looking bigger' without any change in bodyweight.
Neovar/carb timing wasn't always perfect, but the second I had carbs, I swelled up. For example, I worked out, got decent pumps, ate more caps, ate a large breakfast(steak and eggs) and went about my day, a few hours later I headed to the Great American Beer Fest. After about the 8th 1oz sample, I thought my skin was going to rip. My arms were rock hard. It was almost painful.
I've always considered myself a creatine non-responder, I've tried just about all makes and models of it too. Never really got anything from straight monohydrate, even at high doses and with optimal intake (fully dissolved in grape juice). My pre/peri workout drinks contain CEE and Di Creatine Malate, but since introducing Neovar, the pumps have been sick. I'm not sure of any strength type increases (although I have been increasing steadily) as I had just changed up my routine to a higher volume workout.
Strictly from the mirror perspective, I've leaned out at an accelerated pace as this stuff was really the only 'change'.
I am sold on this stuff.
:woohoo:

You must have a big frame for 12 capsules per day.Xodus; said:I started my second bottle of Neovar, running it at 6 caps 2x/day a week or so ago...

im currently running neovar + YG + WTF Pumped (until samples run out) then going to Scivation's Vasocharge
Also using Scivation's Xtend and bulk 1-carboxy
i have only been running this for 2 days so far but its pretty intense.
my stats are 6'5" 220-222lbs ~7-8% BF. Im aiming to lower BF and gain some lean mass.
Looks like your intended result appears to be kicking in![]()
lol... my intended result was to see if anyone offered up what I am noticing myself, without me having to say it first and have everyone say "Now that i think of it..."
It's nothing earthshattering, but me likey.
I am almost through my second bottle of NeoVar. It was originally part of an RPM/IGF-2/Osteobolin-C stack. Currently, it is part of an RPM/Drive/IGF-2/Budget Ergogenics stack. I have been very satisfied with my stack. Although, it would be hard to judge the precise contribution of NeoVar to the results I have seen, it is safe to say that I was attracted by the blend of compounds in it. The science was convincing and the results are pleasing. I especially enjoy having to take my creatine supplement with food, thanks to banaba's nutrient partitioning properties. Not to talk of rhodiola and phosphocreatine. I feel a noticeable muscle fullness after taking NeoVar, even after several weeks on it. I would not pretend this fullness lasts an entire day, but it is noticeable. Altogether, my weight has remained stable, while lean mass has improved. The overall credit would go to my overall stack, not just NeoVar.Lanbane; said:lol... my intended result was to see if anyone offered up what I am noticing myself, without me having to say it first and have everyone say "Now that i think of it..."

Stomach upset is not normal, although it is not clear how much you take and if with or without food. The recommendation is to take NeoVar with food, more precisely, with about 50g of good carbohydrates. This way, you get the full benefit of the blend (with banaba and rhodiola). I usually take it after meals (on non-workout days) with sufficient carbohydrates. Considering that I also have proteins in my meals, I do not see why you cannot take a protein shake with it. The important thing is to have enough carbhydrates in the mix.AnonyMoose; said:on this subject - i've just started neovar again this week and have noticed that i my stomach gets a little upset after i take it. normal? also - should it be taken with/without food. is a protein shake ok with it?
Lanbane, I dropped my post before reading yours! You are the expert!
Thanks, Lanbane! I left a feedback earlier in the thread on my experience with NeoVar. I will try the pre-carb meal option tomorrow.Lanbane; said:Not necessarily! It's always best for multiple viewpoints to be presented. :thumbsup:
However, I would like to see your take on it if you ever try dosing 15-20 min before a carb meal.
I value your opinion Strategic!
which would be more beneficial...
1 - first thing in the morning with Drive about 20-30 minutes before breakfast.
or
2 - 30 minutes before pre workout meal, approx 2:30 hours pre workout
