SNS ARA

SwolenONE said:
Absolutely, there is a lot of over thinking it... just run workout days only along with LCLT and GMS. 4-8 caps is the highly anabolic dose, some users choose even less than 4 as they still get the results without the possible side effect of joint pain. While training in a hypertrophy geared range of 10-20 reps Ive never noticed any pain whatsoever with X-Factor.

Are there many logs/anecdotal feedback of people using less than 4 caps pre-workout?

Yes sir, mant people over the years have logged 2 -3. Bill is really big on the low dose protocols, we have a lot of athletes who use 1-2 caps for extended periods of time. I believe we did a few sposored logs with that 1-2 cap protocol about 3 yrs back.

Im 240 and get really good results with 2 caps on workout days only, though I usually do 4. Ive only gone to 6 for one cycle and it leaned me out quite rapidly which was nice, but the sides were more apparent.

Interdasting. What have you seen as most optimal though? Fairly ambiguous question.

And by sides.. You mean jut the typical ArA-dependent sides, right? Nothing unordinary...
 
Doms are crazy. Being feeling pumped almost everyday especially day after a workout. Strength is very apparent. Reps are easy. I sometimes stop mid stream to add weight on because I'm not used to the instantaneous increase . Sometimes my left forearm is so pumped it hurts. ARA is now my #1 supplement. Noticing more separation between muscle groups and I'm tightening up.

Awesome man, glad to hear you're enjoying your ARA run. There really isn't much like it on the market.

That's the type of feedback we enjoy seeing. Thanks for sharing man.

Everybody knows me by now... When it works for me I spread the word.... When I fall into the hype crap that's out there and it fails for me look out and prepared for the ass reaming. Part of the busy;)
 
ill Let you guys in on the ultimate stack preworkout: 3 scoops of High volume, 3 grams of LCLT and 8 X-gels. the pumps are like an orgasm....eh not quite but kinda.
 
For some reason I really wasn't interested in using ARA but people can't seem to stop talking about it. Guess it's time for me to hop on the bandwagon to see what all this hype is about

I have used ArA several times and my current stack is awesome: Ara/Anabeta/ALCAR/GMS. Strength just jumps each workout, it is crazy as I toss on more plates. I truly believe my top-secret protocol is the factor: 3 X-Gels + 3 X-Factor . . . synergy ;) Initially I thought I might implode by mixing the products from competing companies, but alas I am still here.

I've had 6 workouts with ArA. How far along are you? Did it seem to really kick in at some point?

On my second bottle. Felt the surge at 6 caps .Probably my second or third workout you feel it. My first workout was with 4 caps. Like 6 WAY better.

Yeah, same here...definitely going to try it sometime next year for sure....
 
Before I get slapped in the face by a rep or someone I will first say I have x-gels on order and was shipped yesterday..super excited!! My question is, even though I know I will love ara, what's up with the 1-andro or 1-alpha? I see people hyping those up also. Figured I'd ask since there seems to be a lot of guys on this thread will a lot of experience.

I would not bother with 1-andro or 1-alpha.
 
Has anybody noticed constantly feeling pumped being on Ara? Especially the day after a workout. Right now I feel sore but pumped and tight.
 
Mission1 said:
I may consider bumping up to 7 or 8. Right now I'm happy with the results. As I get closer to the 50 workout mark before I take my break I may increase.

I tried bumping it up to 7 for 3 days and noticed nothing. I'd just keep it at 6. You COULD do 8, but diminishing returns may occur.
 
People keep saying it kicks in after a certain amount of time. Do you actually feel it kick in? Is this a mental or physical feeling?

Not "kick in"in the sense you may be thinking, but when you notice changes, i.e increased strength or muscle fullness.

It wont kick in like stim does

For sure. I'd say after the acute pumps X-Gels elicits, the gradual increase in strength many people note are what most people refer to as "kicking in". We seem to hear different time frames as to when this may occur. A lot of this of course is dependent on diet + training.
 
I usually notice more pumps and fullness about 1 - 2 weeks of starting taking X-Factor. That's what I feel the "kicking in" as.
 
From what I understand, ArA can be used in just about any situation and is pretty safe

Is there a suggested age limit to this? Potential hormonal problems if taken too early etc

No problems, but all companies generally recommend their supplements to be taken by those 18 yrs of age or older.

For those in need of ArA, X-Factor 100ct for under $30

Thanks for verifying that guys!

Would running ArA while playing other sports: basketball and soon baseball affect my ability to play, or the effectiveness of it?

And I plan on using the following

ArA (X-factor most likely due to the sale) 4caps for 50 workout days
ALCAR SNS 500
Creatine 3-5g workout days after I finish loading
Amino IV pre/intra workout
Orange Triad and Oximega dosed 6 hrs after or so

Other than possible joint issues which may impact your recovery, nope, you'll be fine.

Im personally making sure that my run is over before my baseball season starts. I dont particularly enjoy throwing with DOMS haha. I dont really get upper body DOMS ever but my quads are really fuxking sore from legs on Tuesday. In season i feel that its important to try and feel my best and anything that makes my muscles/body sorer than the norm will be excluded from my supplement stack. Like i said though, ill keep it to off season use only (since im a senior i guess i dont have to worry about this anymore tho lol). Ill definitely use ArA many more times in the future though.

That being said, there shouldn't be an issue with you taking it in season, as long as it isn't negatively effecting your performance.

I never had any issues running ArA while playing sports personally, but some get joint issues.
 
That all makes sense, I think I'm going to try and fit it in around season but honestly I'm a bench warmer at the moment.

If I workout currently at 6 days per week, should I change my routine or how would the dosing work then as I see that most use a 4 day split.
I do a Push Pull Legs Push Pull Legs rest repeat

Dosing would still be preworkout, and if your routine is working for you, then just stick with it.

Well if thats the case bust keep busting ass in the weight room and keep working towards your goal man. I warmed the bench for 2 years too, most of us have to wait our turns.

As synapsin said, keep that routine if its working for you. i would try and only take ArA 4-5 days a week just to make each bottle last a little longer but thats really up to you. Good luck on your run and your season.
