Pepti-plex Review

Use:
-Since launch September 2023 until October 2024
-4 caps pre, 2 pre and 2 post, 2 pre and 2 later PM, and over summer during two per days 4 pre and 4 later PM or 4 pre lift and 4 pre cardio.
*maybe doesn’t matter, but most were bought month to month. Didn’t buy a years worth then feel like I “had” to use it, I found benefits profound enough that each month it made sense to continue use.

Major Effects:
-Increased recovery. Pretty much always felt ready for next training session, up to 50% longer training blocks before needing to deload.
-Increased muscle retention during deficit and/or increased cardio load. I held onto lean mass pretty easily during any training demands during last year.
-Increased progress. Was going to say strength or endurance, but makes more sense to me to just say progress. Allowed me to train harder, more frequently, and increase metrics at a faster rate. I train in similar “cycles” year to year and this felt better than last previous few.
-Increased non-muscular recovery. Keeping this broad, but aches and pains were farther apart and much less frequent this past year.

Overall:
Resensitization. Maybe not really occurring, but this is how it felt to me. Like I turned back the clock a bit and all my efforts moved the needle a little further than they had felt like they had the past few years.

Objective and Subjective measures:
-It is hard to have any concrete hypertrophic measures of progress or against the past right now, but I hit several all time personal bests on lifts. It is subjective, but I feel my overall body composition has shifted to being easier to hold slightly more lean mass while also being slightly leaner compared to baselines of the previous few years. Feel lighting is bad because I went on a vacation to warm parts of the world and I looked way leaner in pictures than I anticipated..

Front squat, high bar back squat, and deadlift all had personal bests while also being at a lighter body weight. Some areas that didn’t hit PBs (or unsure exact PBs), but I was pretty happy with were things like my Cleans, weighted pull ups, rows, etc. Contemplated listing actual weights (and prob gonna delete photos 🫣) but idk if what I’ve actually hit matters as much as how I feel and the fact I still was able to hit new personal bests. 😋

Overall love the stuff, I’ve actually been taking a break for over a month now. I went on a vacation and stopped everything, but haven’t added it in yet (have two bottles sitting and waiting for use). Excited to start back up again soon!

Top product of 2024 for me that I look to continue for the foreseeable future.
 
Saved for if I want to do more in depth numbers and feedback later.

Also attachments bugged out so here they all are so I can easily delete later. 🫣

Glad to answer any specific questions about anything more in depth but I purposely tried not to turn this into a full blown thesis of a review since I can tend to write more than most people generally want to read anyways. 👍
 
I'm glad that you're enjoying it. Great job detailing it.

And great physique and conditioning.

I always love hearing how you respond to things because you're so well conditioned and the types of training you do. You're so advanced to begin with, that its awesome to see how things work for you.
 
I had similar results for a 3 month run. I am 39 and hit my biggest PR’s in over 5 years on bench, squat and deadlift. Maybe even longer ago.
 
Thanks guys.

Want to make clear the only reason I stopped and am not currently running Pepti-plex is because I went on vacation, stopped everything, and while I don't think things "need" breaks I took this as a chance to go a few months only running the very basics.

Gives me a chance to write a super boring, but probably important and worth remembering kind of review of SNS Betaine, MCC, and Citrulline after this month to be able to compare how they work without anything else and give me a good baseline to compare past and future runs of other things added in. :)

Changing gears after getting really back on track last few years to some different focuses and hoping to pick something else up to run long term with Pepti-Plex for 2025 (maybe something like Basis hmm). (y)
 
Quick update. After almost two months without Pepsi-Plex I am really looking forward to starting again next month. Still making progress and have some great sessions, but do feel some of that oomph I feel on this would be nice again.
 
Started again Monday. Don’t plan constant updates but if I notice anything worthwhile over the year again I’ll come back to this thread.

Have a staples/basics review I’ll post elsewhere today too.
