The Solution is Cannibal PermaSwole with Chaos and Pain



Chaos and Pain Cannibal PermaSwole

Stack3d-week-2014-04.png


Taste

Green Apple Hulk – If you know me Green Apple is my #1 Flavor for flavored products on the market. When I got the chance to get my hands on this I had high expectations. I have never had a Chaos and pain product before but they did a good job. The initial rush of Green Apple is a bit on the tart side like taking a fresh bite out of an apple. There is a small lingering aftertaste, but the hulk really stands for IMO the initial burst of flavor you get from the first sip. I personally feel this is a good name for the product because green apples usually have more of a tarty flavor to them just like this product does.

Mixability

I like to play around with Mixability and dosing to see what my sweet spot is. Because this is a first time review I wanted to try and do this with 1 scoop only to start as suggested by the label and then re-assess. I tried 8-10-12 oz with 1 scoop of the product and each time it mixed perfectly fine. After about 10-15 seconds of shaking there was no particles floating around and everything was dissolved.


Formula

permaswole.png


L-Citrulline is 2g, which is a little low for a one serving product most studies show 6-8g is the optimal range to get the full benefits of this sole ingredient, that is not to say you could stack something with the PermaSwole or bulk to reach that. But this does aid lactic acid build up and performance.

500mg Agmatine → A pump agent and also a nutrient partioniner. This is a great bulk item to add for a non-stim to help with pump and also shuttle nutrients, those who add a bulk of carbs around their workout may notice this and how it helps amplify the pump in the presence of carbs.

1.5g BA which helps aid performance and endurance during training, a split dose that is upward to 3.2-4g of BA is optimal, and at 1.5 that is very close to a good amount

250mg Creatinol-O-Phosphate, while this is not creatine per say it does help with performance and endurance by how it is broken down in the system.

200mg L-Norvaline I have personally responded well to as far as small enhancement in pumps and also nutrient shuttling (Seen in GDA’s)

200mg Pomegranate is a powerful anti-oxidant that is added to the formula,

150mg Resveratrol is used to help with performance enhancement not only training, but also cardio as well.

10g Niacin, some do not enjoy this because they breakout in a red state on their face (Niacin Flush) but this can help with many health benefits (Cholesterol) and an anti-oxidant effect.

Workout Reaction

Being a non-stim pre-workout it will be hard to even guage anything relating to energy, so for this I am going to key in on my pump, vascularity, and also how I respond as far as endurance and performance goes due to the fact of BA, L-Citrulline in the product, and Creatinol O Phosphate. Starting with 1 scoop and then assessing for a few workouts and then going to jump to 1.5-2 for some to see the major difference with the increase in ingredients in the formula. That is primary focus of this log and how it does effect my workouts.

I Am In !!
 
In as well, and thanks for explaining what each ingredient is supposed to do. Great start, let's see how it works.
 
I'm thinking I would like this at around 2 scoops
 
I'm thinking I would like this at around 2 scoops

at 2 scoops this log would be short (17 days)
i want to make sure i give this company a VERY Fair assessment on using 1-1.5-2 scoops in several cirumstances

upon waking fasted and also in a fed state
i want to make sure i split up evenly between both to see the difference and also see how i feel, see the difference in the gym, different in pump, and also the difference in performance(BA, COP, CM especially)

at 2 scoops you get a great amount of CM at 4g
3g BA
1g Agmatine

500mg COP which will help performance and endurance a lot
not to mention Norvaline can aid pump and nutrient partitioning just like agmatine which is why i really like this product. It will help shuttle those nutrients around your pre/post workout meals if you train in a fed state.
 
lets all toss these up too
Current BW Around 172

Dosage

Sticking with 1 scoop for a few workouts before i add any more and give it a fair assessment. This was another AM Session and dosed right when i woke up and hit the weights. I may try and tinker with some bulk amento for a few workouts to see the difference, for now though i am fine with 0 stims when i train. little to no pump added because COP is pretty low, same with CM and BA in the dosing. Overall taste is solid at 8oz
 
Workout looks good and food looks amazing !!
 
Only a few workouts in so far, so not much to report in the grand scheme of things.
but today and tomorrow are off days i work 11 and 13 hour shifts. So no gym i go in before gym opens and get out after gym closes

will resume on monday!

Day 4 --> 1 Scoop
Want to ride this out for 5 days to see if i notice any differences or changes, so far with most ingredients on the low side for 1 scoop it shows little to no benefit, but i still got another day. I can really see 1.5 - 2 really providie some great benefits with a legit dose of CM, BA, Agmatine, and also a higher end dose of COP (still low at 1g)
