Alright so as explained in my training thread I'm coming off of an injury. I was planning on being out for a while but today per my doc I'm good to get back in the gym albeit very light. This is great news. At first I was going to utilize the DermaStrength as more of a damage control product but now I'll be able to really gauge its effectiveness, which is why I decided to log it.
Laxogenin seems to be quite the controversial ingredient thus far, due to the American chemist that brought it to the supplement market (he did not find this ingredient) and Tim Couch's use of it during his training to return to the NFL. Everything surrounding this ingredient makes its actual results relatively unknown. From other logs (anecdotal evidence) I have seen increased sweating, vascularity and increased recovery. I can definitely use the increased recovery.
Now, yes, I am a rep so many people will be quick to dismiss any results that I may get with this product but what I can say is I am going to be honest in all reported effects. That's just how I roll. Olympus Labs is about the customer which is why I chose to rep for them in the first place. I put the consumer first, as I too am a consumer. If I were to falsify any result achieved it would do the consumer a great injustice and I refuse to be a part of that in any way.
That being said, I am 2 applications in. There is obviously nothing to note as of yet results wise.
Application wise:
I'll be applying once per day, post shower, one full pump.
The TD matrix is great, it goes on easy peasy and dries very quickly. It smells good to, I mean not like cologne good but has a good scent to it.
The applicator and bottle:
I've read a few negative reports about the bottle and dispensing amount that this system has and that doing a half pump is too difficult. If you are in this category of consumer there is a simple fix - pick up a syringe. If you travel and were concerned that you can't re-engage the pump back to its locked position you can. On your last pump before travel simply turn the top of the pump and it will screw back into its pre-use state
For me, I have plenty of stuff to worry about that I try not to worry about the small things as much. My first application I applied about a pump and a half to two pumps. Reason being that I needed to get the pump primed, which led to possibly a full pump on the first go around to maybe 3/4's? I figured I wanted my full 100 mg at least so put another pump on my nitrile gloves and spread that **** around NBD. Like I said, dried great within a minute or two, even with 200 mg dosing
Any questions toss them up or check my training log for more details on training etc. This log will serve to highlight DermaStrength specifically
