Ok I got a pretty little box in the mail last night . Gotta love a small box Thanks to AX I will be testing out your preworkout supplement. I will be doing legs today and will start out with 1 serving 30 min prior and 1 serving intra if need be . I was locked out of the forum and just got let back in ( longstory )(short story I hate face book ) Weight 188lbs Height 5'9" Age 38. ( A few weeks away close enough) Training exp off and on since 1991 I will have to drop my clout since it is a creatine based product and just use this test product for the time being . I want to assed the product the best I can and give honest real world feed back . With all that crap out of the way I will hit my legs after a long hard day at work . I will report on Thursday
Awesome, My grandmother just called to tell me I've had a package waiting and need to pick it up lol, so we should be reporting at the same time
Cool, bro! Looking forward to see how it worked for you, or not worked! Lol Maite! Why does your grandmother have your package ? Anyways, looking forward to see your logg too, will be interesting to see how it affects a tiny person
Ok back on topic Ok I used half of 1tube (aprox 25ml) in 20 oz of water today drank 10oz at first to assess my tolerance .I drank it on my way home from work . After around 15 min I felt the energy rush . I did not get any flush feeling like others have noted . By the time I got home from work I had drank approx 14 oz and was in full swing to work out my legs. Work out went real string and sipping on another 2 oz and I was really amped so I did not finish off my drink. I was pushing hard today as I had energy that would not go away. I ended up doing box squats started out @ 135 for the warm up of 10 Went to 225 for 10 reps ( on a 16" box just parallel ) I moved up to 275 for a set of 5 with about a min rest I hit it again and went nice and strong . After that I added on some weight another 50 #'s to make it a 325 lift at the top and aprox 225-250#s at the bottom with my bands . I removed 4" from the box for a 12" box (past parallel ) put on my leg wraps and gave it hell . I ended up doing 2 sets of 10 . Finishing off strong. I also hit some stand up calf raise with 325 on the bar 3sets of 10. To finish off my legs I did str8 leg dead lifts for the hams I went rather light but squeezed 95#s 3sets of 10 Ok as far as the drink goes I noticed it had some weird looking floaties almost like pulp and the flavor reminded me of a fruity / grapefruit flavor kind if tart ( :/ ) nit really a flavor I would want to use all the time or buy for that matter. I did not notice any pump from the product I did have a decent pump but nothing like a preworkout that had a NO supplement in it. I really like pump products :] Any question feel free to chime in
Thanks for the log. One FYI, this is not the flavor the actual product will be. This was just a quick and fast flavor added to the test product. The finished product will be a berry flavor that tastes very good.
Good workout out! As Admin wrote, this is not a final flavor at all, no need to concentrate on the flavor until we have a decent product.. If you have tasted AXcell, you'll know that the taste will be something in the class of that I smiled a bit when I read that it didn't give so much pump.. Cause that exactly what I want from the product.. A good PWO with clean energy and as little pump as I can get (Personal thoughts)... But really good workout! I like the box squats... For me, they give such a sweet and killing burn in the outher thigh
I did forget to mention my warm up with leg exts light and high reps I have not tried the AXcel was going to pick up the bogo at DS but I think they only had orange and I can't stand orange drinks at all I had 2tubs of thermolife pump Bol and could not hack the flavor and was not happy with the results after a week of NO pump and nasty orange flavor that I sold both tubs for the cost of 1 and threw in some extra products just to get it out of my house . Lol that's just me I will add in some agmatine Friday on shoulder and arm day just for the mental part ( I like the added pump ) I do think once you get the flavor down it should be s hell of a pre work out even At this point Now if you offer it in a pump and non pump version lol I would go with either agmatine or creatine nitrate or both Stay tuned for the next episode as I plan on killing it Friday
Sweet! We're all looking forward to see how it goes then! Will be very interesting to see how it goes with a smaller muscle group... Maybe you'll find that the pump is more then enough on these easy stimulated muscles Offtopic again, you should really try AXcell Artic Berry, it's absolutely fabolous... I haven't tried the Sparkling Orange yet, to be honest.. But I have never really had any need for it either, since I'm so satisfied with Artic Berry I'm not familiar with Agmatine, or perhaps I am, but I don't recognize the word.. (From Sweden you know)..Do you mind explained just a little bit what it is for us who don't know
Agmatine is in a feew products now one of the first was BluePrint from MAN Sports it is a great pump product If AX sends me some I would be more than willing to try it but ATM funds are a bit tight
Agmatine is arginine without the carboxylate group. in retrospect, that probably doesn't help you out, Eiz.
Lol... You had the intention, hoping for that it wouldn't help me! YARRRR!! But it kinda did! I recognize that word and I'll look up some Swedish info on it haha thanks all!

Ok today I had a hell of a great energy and focus day. I used 10 ML at first in 20 oz with ice in my shaker . Slammed it and was feeling good . I had some other stims first thing in the morning ( 2 fatsmack caps ) shoulders and arms today I was sweating my AXX off . I was out in the sun as I got off work earky today and was working around the house. waited till around 2:30 PM to get my work out on. Remember I work out in the Garage. It got to hot and I shuit it down early . Standing shoulder press BB ( behind the head ) 95 X 10 105X10 115X10 125X10 then moved over to the Smith ( it pivots 15 deg fwd and backwd for a real feeling but I have no spotter so this is safest In front standing press 120 X10 120X8 120X8 Ft lat raise / side lat raise 25X10 / 25X10 25X10 / 25X10 25X10 / 25X10 Str8 bar wide grip curls 100X10 100X10 100X10 Pullups with rings BW. Palms facing in 2 sets slow and controlled for biceps. Triceps 40 close grip push ups I was to hot shut it down over all I like the energy I sipped on another 10ML during my workout
Cooool! Another Garage lifter! Don't you just love it when it's only you and just you in the gym and nothing , well besides the obvious heat right now, can distrub you really... Like people using the machine/equipment you were about to tke on next! Good looking workout! How do you like sipping on the PWO during the workout ? Does it affect any of the fatigue between the sets ? Probably a hard question to answer, but still felt the need to ask it
Great workout HG, I feel ya on the temps, We have a "feels like" temp today of 100 with 74% humidity. I sort of have the same question as Eiz, How do you feel sipping during the workout affected your training?
Agmatine is a byproduct of the amino acid arginine, but goes well beyond arginine in terms of benefits. Agmatine works through stimulating the release of pituitary hormones, including Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Growth Hormone (GH). Agmatine has a variety of benefits, and can be beneficial and desirable for athletes and bodybuilders as well as fitness enthusiasts and people in search of a healthier lifestyle as they age. Agmatine also increases Nitric Oxide (N.O) through two pathways – by stimulating the release of Nitric Oxide, while also inhibiting types of Nitric Oxide Synthase (enzymes that break down N.O.). Agmatine is a truly versatile supplement, with users reporting improved endurance, improved recovery, enhanced performance, dramatic and long lasting pumps, and improved overall body composition including increased lean muscle and decreased body-fat
Hmm, so it doesn't attenuates the growth hormone response to resistance exercise like arginine does, when it's taken orally?
