Products that will be reviewed/logged are Xtend Perform, Xtend Raw (the wife will be using that one as she's dieting and I feel it's geared more toward cutting) and this awesome new little joint product called Flexatril.
I was lucky enough to receive a Scivation care package from The Solution to run for my final week+into PCT of my tri-andro cycle.
A bit about me:
32 years old for another month.
On my final few days of an Epi-1 Andro-4 andro 8 week cycle.
Weight training 5-6 days a week on a bulk. Dieting is about 60/40 to 70/30 clean foods majority.
Soccer 1 Day a week.
Sitting around 190 with 13-15 body fat. 5'8" tall.
Other supps include fish oil, multi, and as I said the andros plus the OCT Damage Control.
I applied to run this log because after starting andros my joints dried up worse than Hillary Clinton getting into bed with Bill. I initially tried to combat this by dosing straight Glucasomine (roughly 3-5grams a day) +a joint blend supplement from Walmart, this also had Glucosamine as well as MSM, Chondroitin, HLA, all the staples. I was getting some relief but during soccer the foot/ankle joint would flare up and running would be Hell.
Was lucky enough to get picked to run this log, it's just taken me a minute to get the thread put up.
Day one on Flexatril was Monday 25 (discontinued all other joint supps except for the fish oil) took 6 pills split into the two doses as the product has an optional 10 day loading period. No immediate difference was felt, at least day one.
When I got to the gym that Monday I really wasn't feeling up to lifting, this is extremely rare for me so after 5 sets of heavy squats I nearly called it a day. Luckily the Xtend Perform was in the car so I popped a scoop into my shaker. I felt so re energized that my 30 minute workout turned into 1.5 hours. Felt amazing after downing the Xtend Perform and finished out with some strong deadlift sets.
Tuesday actually woke up with minimal foot pain/hip pain, which is great because I really feel the back squats 3 days a week have been wearing on me. Took another 6 tabs split into 2 doses, one with breakfast the other before soccer. Also decided to use Xtend Perform during my game and I felt much better than I had been feeling throughout this season. Adding 15 pounds to your frame in a little over a month, even if it's mostly muscle, makes it hard to keep up your speed, agility, and stamina in a sport like soccer. I felt great though and played well.
The last 2 days have been more of the same. Dosing 6 pills of Flexatril and sipping Xtend during my workouts. Foot/ankle pain is very diminished and hip pain is also subsiding. I had planned on skipping legs Saturday but as long as the Flexatril continues doing what it's doing I'm thinking of trying to hit a PR. Definitely will take Xtend that day and probably for tonight's workout as well.
Current thoughts on Flexatril, pills are a bit big, but I can get em down. looking forward to getting through loading period simply because I have two bottles and 3 pills a day will definitely last longer than 6 because I'd like to keep running this for at least 3 months. Longer if I can find the product on special. No burps, tummy aches, pills getting stuck in the throat or any other nuisance side effects with this product. Truthfully enjoying its effects.
Xtend Perform:
Taste is great, you do get just a little bit of film after finishing your first 12-20oz but I've always remedied this with powdered supps by refilling my shaker through the workout.
Stamina on it has been on point and you don't feel like you're losing strength as the workout progressed.
Also no tummy side effects or any others that I noticed.
Xtend Raw I have not had the chance to try yet. May dose Sunday on my rest day though just to add to recovery and maybe enjoy a little fat loss by keeping calories low.
Well, that's what I got so far. I'll continue to log these amazing products. Thanks for reading!
