Makes sense.
 
Thanks guys for this opportunity. I loved these products!!

The next couple days will probably be chaos, but I plan on finishing the stimul8 tub logging the exercises, progress, and my further experience with Stimul8 here.

Please rate on a scale of 1-5: 1=Strongly Disagree; 2 = Disagree; 3 = Neutral; 4 = Agree; 5 = Strongly Agree



MAX PUMP

1) This product produced great Vascularity/Pump:
5/5
It took about a week to saturate (as I've heard it called) in to the muscles, but once it did I never had a pump more powerful and long lasting as Max Pump. My arms and legs saw the most pump, and the last 3 weeks on this product I looked like I had stacked on at least ten pounds. Even on off days I carried over the fullness look. It's been a few days since I've been out and I still, as of today, am noticing a decrease in overall size or fullness.

2) This product produced great Muscle Endurance/Stamina:
5/5
Well, to be honest, I'm not certain which product gets the credit here or if it's the combination. I wouldn't feel right taking any points away from any if them, because while on year three products I had zero bad workouts, and managed to surprise myself on days where I didn't feel 100% and/or went in on very little sleep.

3) This product improved Muscle Strength:
4.5/5
Hmm. I have a problem differentiating this answer from the last with muscle endurance. I never went for PR's, and starting with GVT (my own version, really) at the start of using Max Pump I was doing some newer lifts/variation that required longevity more so than pure power. I did however hit a few PR's and week-to-week increases in total volume, so I definitely have to give it a four and a half.

4) This product improved Overall Physical Performance:
5/5
Abso-FREAKing-lutely! Even the mirror-effect of just seeing my body grow mid-workout had me pushing for extra reps.

5) I really enjoyed this product and would recommend it to friends and family...
5/5
I will definitely being purchasing another, next time trying at least a two month go. This is one of the best pump products I’ve tried.

STIMUL8

1) This product was a great source of clean energy/good mood...
5/5
Within 10-15 minutes I would start to feel the warming and tingling feeling, and despite how strong it is it was a very manageable energy. I never had a mood or overall energy crash after the product wore down. I haven’t (yet) taken a dose without working out, but believe this would be a great early afternoon product to substitute instead of coffee or a thermo.

2) This product helped me power through my training sessions...
5/5
On more than a couple occasions I went into the gym with almost no energy and left powering through more weight or volume than I thought I had in me.

3) This product enhanced my mental focus...
5/5
This is kinda an add-on to #2, but it put me “in the zone” on every workout. Tired or not, weak or not.

4) This product gave me the jitters...
1/5
Nah. The thermo effects and the sweats it gave me were pretty dang extreme, but I never had an uncomfortable jittery feeling. I am however very caffeine-tolerable though.

5) This product tasted great...
5/5
Very tasty. I’m not a huge fan of sweet products, but adding just a little extra water took some of the sweetness away. I didn’t taste any ‘bite’, or chalkiness. If you’re a fan of any apple flavored juices, this one will be a favorite for you.

6) I really enjoyed this product and would recommend it to friends and family...
5/5
Absolutely. Within the first week I already knew Stimul8 was in my top 3; but I’m now certain that it’s at least in my top two, and my favorite now for when I’m trying to cut.

Crea-Trona:

1) This product helped me gain strength...
5/5
Again, it might be the Crea-Trona, it might be the Max Pump, or it might be the combo; but, I made improvements every week either on number of reps or weight lifted in GVT.

2) This product improved my muscle fullness...
5/5
I looked full and muscular, as if I put on a few pounds of muscle over the course of the month. Every week I noticed an increase.

3) I really enjoyed this product and would recommend it to friends and family...
5/5
Very good product. There isn't a section here for recovery, but I'd give that a 5/5 also. I went from extreme DOMs from the volume of GVT to a lot less extreme/shorter lasting DOMs.
 
Very good review brother. Detailed. Precise and to the point. You put in some great work on this log and review and we are thankful for all of your efforts!

Notes:
I went in unprepared not Ben knowing what I was going to lift, and felt sluggish to start; but ended up killing my shoulders. I didn't count my breaks but took very few, mostly none except right before the OHP. I was drenched with sweat 1/2 way in.

So much for a deload week I guess. Also, no shoulder pain. My left felt awkward on the first set of presses, but I went real slow and got a good stretch in on that set an had no issues afterwards.

Taking in a cap of Formutech Level II thermo right now and hoping I don't go overboard on calories these next two days. I already look less muscular from being off of he Max Pump and Crea-Trona. Little more soft, TBO.
 
Thanks for the great reviews Thomas. As always you ran an excellent log, with the perfect amount of detail. Enjoy your Christmas!
 
Merry Christmas everyone!
Recognize the true reason that we are all here, on earth, in the Universe.
Celebrate in style this year, make sure everyone know what it is about! Celebrate the birth of Christ, our Lord and Savior.


Forget all if fancy stuff you don't need. Give it to people that need it.

I'M sick of going into a store seeing bratty kid begging for outrageous gifts. Or how About those 6--12 year olds with tablets and iPhone, and they still beg for more.


Well, anyways, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Merry Christmas bro! Thanks!
 
Glad to see you liked the Stimul8 so much - it's the only one I haven't tried, but people seem to approve. Nice work JR!
 
Finaflex is kicking butt in the world of pwo's with Stimul8 and another favorite of mine Ignite 2. Both definitely deliver!

Haven't tried the ignite 2 yet, but I will.
 
Max Pump is good stuff. MAN's Body Octane is pumpalicious also. I need to get myself another tub.
I had like 7 bottles of Max Pump, but sold them off during my Ebay supp sale bonanza.

And I was not informed of your ebay sale why?
Click to expand...

Well, that was earlier in the summer. I spent quite a large sum of money on quite a large amount of supplements. I then tried to turn a profit, but that proved to be more tough than I thought. I did however make some money flipping some original formula FinaFlex 550 XD, the SD/Tren stuff. Bought them for $35 a pop, and auctioned them for $90-$150 on ebay. Turned about 30 bottles of those, but in the end I didn't make any money off of the stash. You have to buy supps wholesale to make anything, and shipping is a profit killer.

Which is exactly why I'm gonna buy wholesale. Jan 1st baby, we're filing for that LLC :) Got things in the works. We're pretty sure we'll be contacting Finaflex to look at pricing.
 
I've only been in the gym once since Christmas... Stupid laziness...

I have a made-up back and shoulder routine ready for tomorrow. With that, I have 3/4 scoop Stimul8 ready to go; even remembered to shake the tub before scooping. Gotta get some quality lifts in before the resolution'ers show up in a couple days...

Kiddo got a rifle and a hunting membership for Christmas. He's super excited, and we spent this past weekend setting our spot up at the camp and teaching him how to use a tree climber...

Notes:
Yay, PR's!!
I hope I keep making progress on my shoulders. I felt ZERO tweak-ness on presses today. May go back to bench pressing soon....

My appetite is under control. Not going to log cals today, but will be eating beans, collards, and chicken every time I feel a little hungry.

Happy New Year bro's!
