Smith_69's Getting Battle Ready with MST's Elite RagNOrok

I was curious because a couple of months back I started adding protein to my pre-shake, and even recently (3 or 4 weeks) added some carbs (trying out Karbolic currently) to it, to help with my workouts. So far it seems to have worked well for me, with no (noticeable) added fat. After following Smith's log I was interested in giving Rag a shot for my pre and wondered about if after using it for a while (to see how it works on its own) if I wanted to add some protein to it. :D. Plus, I am overly sensitive to the BA (gi issues, not the tingles), so adding protein to it helps reduce that affect.

Good stuff man, I sometimes have GI issues with PWO's, pretty much caffeine in general. It depends, but I haven't had any issues with Rag at all...even a cup of coffee has me in the bathroom in 30 mins or less. Nothing like that with Rag, just another positive in my book. Let us know how adding in some protein/carbs with the shake works if you don't mind. And, sorry for hijacking your thread here, smith

Sorry I missed that question earlier!

It's merely a maximum absorption thing. Best I can tell, cordyceps absorbs best on an empty stomach. I imagine the Krebs Cycle minerals do too. But dosing Rag a half hour after eating isn't going to negate the effects. I have some Mesomorph on hand and I notice it mentions taking it on an empty stomach too. I guess that's something I never noticed since I take Rag first thing in the morning

Im glad your here man, absolutely no problem at all. Its great to have all the interaction regardless if it goes astray.
 
well I just ordered Rag (stim free) online. You are all a bad (expensive) influence!!! LOL Should be here next week. Could not find it locally (oh well). I just wish I could have found a sample size, but such is life :)

So I guess we can find out how adding protein and/or carbs affects it (in my own thread, when the pre gets here, to stop hijacking Smith's :)).

yea, I aint no steppin stool lmao
 
Keep up the awesome log. You (your log of it) should get a commission for convincing me to order the Rag!! LOL

BTW, I think both of my arms might actually measure out (barely) to equal one of yours. I mean if I flex super hard and measure right after an intense tri/bi workout.



Naw, even then I still have a ways to go... *sigh*. :D LOL

5/9- this was a back day-
tuff because I had less than 3 hours sleep. dog was up all night and woke up the kids and just a mess

Rag did help me get through it- was kind of like on autopilot
iso lat high rows, low rows, pull ups and rev pec deck- just focused on reps and didn't go too heavy.
bed at 10 last night!

Better rested today
Hit legs - nothing too crazy
squats, leg press and rev leg curls

got into a conversation with a few guys about different techniques and start bsing about other stuff.
Still got a great pump from Rag today as well

tomorrow is an off day, having a big meeting at the office and kind of glad. Shoulder has been bothering me a bit, so today and tomorrow will be good rest days. Shoulders on Thursday

No issues from Rag, still feel the tingles but not too bad, actually don't mind it. Flavor and mixing still on par and giving good pumps

I am one who actually enjoys those tingles...but usually when I haven't used BA in awhile then start back again I only get them for 1st couple of uses!!!

i tell people next time before you do bi', back or tri- work your forearms till there pumped out. then go hit those muscles, youll see just how much you use those muscles in your lifts- makes a difference
Click to expand...

I don't do bi. I did tri once, but that was in the 70's and I had smoked a lot of peyote.

@ hairygrandpa you're like me. When I was a kid I walked 10 miles to school, it was uphill both ways, and waist deep in snow September to June.

LOL ! It was uphill both ways!!!
Yes, I remember. To get to school I had to cross a lake swimming, holding the books over my head...
The good old times.

how did i forget that? see that is some dam old school right there
 
Dam spoiled kids these days, with their hippity hop music and all the crazy protein flavors. All we could afford was cheap unflavored soy protein when I was a boy, and we drank it knowing it would permanently damage our testicles, and we were glad to do it! :p

You wanna make gains? OK, hold your nose and slam that drank, then try to keep it down long enough to make it to the gym, lol.

the only thing I have tasted that was worse is when I told my mom was too sick to go to school and she would give me emetrol...OMG!!!

that is freaky....I need for georgio to take a look at that photo!!!
Click to expand...

I watched a whole documentary on it once, pretty freaky alright! I suspect it may have been a legitimate event because in the doc several historians validated this pic, and picked apart a rival pic that was supposedly put out to discredit this one. A scientific controversy you know, days of our life Georgio style, lol. But yeah it's an interesting story for sexy brainiacs like us.
 
Not to derail the direction of the thread (LOL), but my RagNoRok Elite just arrived :D. It is quite a bit ahead of when I expected it. I will give it a go later this week, on a day that I don't have a ton of activities planned, just in case it does a number on my GI :). In the mean time I can't wait to hear any progress updates from Smith_69!! :)

Is that like Ransomware where he has to pay to get back control? :D

Wow, not sure how I missed that you were moving. My bad.

My wife has been packing here to go overseas (Southeast Asia) to visit the in laws with our daughter. They are leaving next week, on the last day of school, and will be gone almost the entire summer (coming back 3 weeks before school starts so that they can get over jet lag for the start of school :)).

Best of luck with your move!
