MUSCLE MAC MACARONI & CHEESE!!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 01 Jun 2016 00:55:00 +0000

A huge thank you to the fine people over at Quality Pasta Company, the makers of MUSCLE MAC for sending several samples of their amazing products! When I first saw their Protein Mac'n'Cheese I knew instantly that I was going to love this product.

They sent me a few of each product. The microwaveable cup, Shells and Cheese and the regular Mac'n'Cheese. The first one I tried was the Microwaveable cup. I work from home with my lovely wife ( we own 3 small business') and I am a Professional Bodybuilder and I eat every 2 hours and the Microwaveable cup was so fast and so easy to make. It was so easy to cook and prepare. It is my first choice as a "go to" product.

Convenient and wholesome meal or snack

20 grams of protein per serving

Protein fortified pasta with excellent taste

Real Cheese with no synthetic dyes, colors or flavors

Next up was the regular protein Mac'n'Cheese. These had to be cooked just like any other box of mac'n'cheese. The overall flavor was amazing and I enjoyed every single bite! The flavor is no different than KRAFT! And that says a lot in my opinion. KRAFT has been #1 for a very long time, but looks like MUSCLE MAC may give them a huge run for their money.

Performance nutrition for active lifestyles

20 grams of protein per serving

GMO free pasta with added vegetable protein

No synthetic dyes or colors

Then finally I tried the shells and cheese. I haven't had the shell version from any brand in many years. I have always been a fan of the regular noodles. But this box was full of tasty goodness! Easy to cook and prepare. Every bite was fantastic! It had a nice creamy cheese flavor that melted in my mouth!

Delicious, high protein pasta for all ages

20 grams of protein per serving

GMO free pasta with added vegetable protein

Great tasting Real Cheese with no synthetic dyes or colors

WICKED PRE-WORKOUT

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 31 May 2016 21:05:00 +0000

Over the years I have used MANY pre workout drinks. Some terrible, some really good but very few were PHENOMENAL. I was at the gym and the manager asked me if I wanted some samples of some pre workout mixes he had gotten in the mail. So I dug through them and one really caught my eye. WICKED by Innovative Laboratories.

I gave this product a try and man it was AMAZING! The energy was very intense, very strong and my workout was the best I've had in a while. This product had my training at 110%! I felt like I could train for hours and I didn't feel the least bit tired. Truly a phenomenal supplement. I'm currently 212lbs and I use 1 scoop and that's plenty for me. I STRONGLY suggest you start with 1 scoop, this stuff is NO joke.

SUGGESTED USE

ON TRAINING DAYS:

Take one heaping scoop to assess personal tolerance. Once tolerance has been assessed, users may increase dosage to 2 scoops in 6-8oz (depending on taste preference) of ice cold water. Do not take with food.

ON NON-TRAINING DAYS:

Take one scoop in the morning to maintain increased Nitric Oxide, ATP and energy levels while assisting in reducing body fat and fatigue.*

The limit-pushing ingenuity behind Innovative Laboratories bodybuilding products are now wreaking havoc on the pre-workout market with the unleashing of their latest legacy: WICKED. This merciless “MASS-MAKER” employs a triad matrix of one-of-a-kind clinically engineered Nitric Oxide Ampliﬁers, Cell Volumizers & Neurogenic Energizers for pro-anabolic supremacy. WICKED is not just another me-too pre-workout product as it is truly a state-of-the-science product with several components found only in WICKED such as: Agmatine silicate; L-Citrulline Silicate and Red Wine 30% extract! WICKED is an elite pre-workout stack that provides explosive energy, long-lasting endurance, increased strength and power, road-map vascularity, and razor-sharp mental focus. WICKED will help you to have the best workouts of your life! You will defy limitations with each and every workout being your best! WICKED is simply that....a WICKED pre-workout putting your body in "beast mode" and causes you to have wicked energy, skin tearing pumps and freaky vascularity, all while increasing strength, giving you more endurance and keeping you focused throughout the entire workout and wishing you did not have to end the training day. Once you have used WICKED it will be pre-workout supplement that you will never want to train without. WICKED guarantees to give you what you need without pixie-dusting ingredients or giving you nothing more than excessive caffeine.

THE SCIENCE

As mentioned in the description, WICKED™ contains Agmatine Silicate (4-aminobutyl) guanidine silicate, which is a byproduct of Arginine that is produced through a process called decarboxylation. It is basically Arginine with the carboxylic acid end removed. Nearly anyone on planet earth is up on Arginine. Many years back, Arginine was heavily promoted by many bodybuilding companies and sports nutritionists as one of the hottest supplements in sports nutrition for its role in the production of Nitric Oxide (NO). That is, until now! Agmatine Silicate is the one compound molecule to take part in more metabolic processing than Arginine. There are at least a dozen direct benefits to the bodybuilder and/or health enthusiast from Agmatine Silicate with even more effects being discovered literally on a daily basis! The benefits of Agmatine Silicate include: Increase Muscular Pumps– Enhances Nitric Oxide (NO) Production– Improves Nutrient Delivery to Muscle Cells– Improves Muscle Cell Insulin Sensitivity– and Boosts Endurance and Decreases Recovery Time. Supplementing with agmatine Silicate will yield a metabolic cascade that provides the benefits above and importantly promotes leanness and muscle building. Agmatine Silicate increases appetite even when full, making it easier for underweight individuals to gain weight and muscle.

Citrulline silicate is a proprietary Citrulline/silicate complex with powerful benefits for NO elvation. Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide, the “miracle molecule” that expands blood vessels to optimize blood flow. Silicon is concentrated within the arteries, where it helps maintain their structural integrity.L-citrulline increases arginine plasma content by improving the ammonia recycling process and nitric oxide metabolism.After ingesting citrulline, L-citrulline is converted into arginine in the kidneys. Supplemental L-arginine provides a spike of L-arginine in plasma, while supplemental L-citrulline increases arginine plasma levels over a longer period of time.Relative to arginine, citrulline is better absorbed in the intestines and is known as a better source of bodily arginine than arginine itself. Our unique Citrulline silicate provides the benefits of both arginine and silicon, along with additional benefits from the unique synergistic combination. Preclinical data clearly demonstrates the superiority of citrulline silicate over standard arginine, with over twice the improvement in blood flow in a head-to-head comparison of Bradykinin-induced vasodilation response.

The last part of the triad mixture is the Red Wine Extract standardized to 30% glycerol – most Glycerol monostearate (GMS) powdered glycerol products typically utilized in sports nutrition offers a fraction of the potency of the Red Wine Extract used by Innovative Laboratories in WICKED™. GMS usually is 1.5 to 5% pure, whereas,WICKED™ is proprietary product contains 30% minimum of 25% free molecular glycerol and has numerous added advantages over straight glycerol alone.Glycerol like that present in WICKED™ is easily absorbed and distributed throughout the intracellular space, increasing the concentration of fluid in the blood and tissues, which positively affects osmolarity and hyperhydration. This brings potential benefits for endurance athletes and promoting excess blood flow associated with resistance training. Glycerol has also been shown to help athletes store extra water, delaying the need for hydration. This suggests improved efficiency in exercise, and enhancement of plasma and intramuscular volume expansion, producing a more engorged muscular look. Red wine has been used by competitive bodybuilders for decades due to its special digestive properties that increase vascularity when consumed prior to a competition or photo shoot. Therefore, WICKED™ utilizes a proprietary red wine extract that will result in more noticeable and pronounced vascularity in most parts of the body. Basically, blood flow to major and minor muscle groups increases, causing the physique to appear fuller and causing veins to appear more pronounced and especially when in conjunction with weight training as when muscles or muscle groups are fatigued via resistance training, blood flow to that particular area increases to sustain oxygen delivery. WICKED™ has left nothing to chance when developing the premier preworkout product to ever hit the marketplace.

WICKED™ extreme ability to affect the VO2 max is unlike any product on the market. VO2 max goes by many other names, including maximal oxygen uptake and maximal aerobic capacity. Essentially it is the capacity of one's body to absorb and utilize maximal oxygen during training. The V stands for volume, and the O2 stands for oxygen. Obviously, ensuring peak VO2 max is a major factor in supporting endurance potential.WICKED™ ability to increase VO2 is the endurance athlete’s answer to peak performance and endurance. WICKED™ is designed to significantly increase strength, speed and power, and enhance recovery. These increases in performance and endurance are mediated by enhancing maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2 max), delaying fatigue, and preventing muscle damage during intense exercise.

WICKED™unlocking your potential for a monstrosity of lean Mass Gains and Punishing Pumps. WICKED™’S menacing one-of-a-kind, proprietary formulation crams your muscle cells to the max with a feral fuel that will invoke Insane Vascularity, Sickening Strength, Hardcore Focus, and Unrelenting Endurance coupled with Heightened Hormonal and Insulin Levels. The interactive impact of this “WICKED PREWORKOUT” blend will turn your bodybuilding into BEAST-BUILDING! *

CHAOS & PAIN!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 09 May 2016 21:50:00 +0000

This is my review on a Pre-Workout and a BCAA product made by Chaos and Pain. I want to thank the awesome folks at Chaos and Pain for sending me these 2 products to try and review. A kick ass company with some solid products for sure!!

CANNIBAL FEROX!!

This Pre-Workout drink was freaking amazing. It had some serious energy and focus and made my workouts VERY intense. I would describe it as STRONG as fawk! Now by "strong" I mean on how it helped me power through my workouts, especially on those days I really didn't want to train. It wasn't letting me slack one bit. There were NO jitters or shakes, no drop off either. Just straight up energy and drive!

Click HERE to order!

• featuring the most brutal stimulant legally on the market, OrchileanTM (Cymbidium Goeringii Extract), which has extreme DMAA-like qualities and will raise pulses like a hatchet attack in a crowded elevator.

• enough beta-alanine to make your hair stand on end and have you feel like your ass is on fire.

• betaine anhydrous and creatine to increase power output and workout duration to evil superhuman levels.

• citrulline malate, atragalus, and panax notoginseng to provide Incredible Hulk-style crazy-pants pumps and roadmap vascularity.

DIRECTIONS

• They packed this thing with every legal stimulant and nootropic they could find, making it perfect for anything ranging from picking things up and putting them down, smashing through all-night study sessions, or just getting through a workday with a hangover.

• So you're ready to chew through a barbell when you hit the gym, drop 1 heaping scoop of Ferox into whatever liquid you so desire.

• Don't take this stuff within 6 hours of bedtime, unless you like staring at the ceiling instead of counting sheep.

• Unless you want to recreate the Alien birth scene with your heart playing the role of a xenomorph chestburster, NEVER exceed 2 scoops in 24 hrs.

Next up is Cannibal Carna Instantized BCAA Blend

A fantastic BCAA product that tastes amazing. I mixed 2 scoops in to my half gallon jug and sipped on this nectar of the GODZ as I trained. It really helped with my recovery and did a great job of helping me get those extra reps in!

Click HERE to order!

Cannibal Carna is a highly instantized, zero-calorie, 8:1:1 branched chain amino acid designed to aid hard-training athletes' performance and recovery. Packed with 3.2 grams of Leucine, Cannibal Carna is ideal for endurance athletes, as consumption of a BCAA blend consisting of at least 30% Leucine prior to training has been shown to increase mental and physical performance in their respective sports (1). Resistance trained athletes will benefit from Cannibal Carna's Leucine content as well, as pulses of Leucine during post-exercise recovery have been shown to increase muscle hypertrophy and maintaining net positive muscle protein (2). With two delicious flavors and no carbohydrates, Cannibal Carna is the perfect addition to pre-, intra-, or post-workout drinks to ensure reduced muscle soreness, improved performance, and to preserve muscle mass.

Highly instantized, so Cannibal Carna will mix easily even with a spoon.

8:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Valine, and Isovaline, providing an excellent balance of branched-chain amino acids and a highly effective dose of leucine.

Fortified with extra glutamine to ensure increased muscle recovery and reduced soreness.

Fat Gripz!!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 16:53:00 +0000

First off, a HUGE Thank you goes out to Franco over at Fat Gripz for sending me a pair of Fat Gripz and a pair of Fat Gripz Extreme along with a few killer T-shirts for me and my gym buddies!

Ok, so just what are Fat Gripz? Fat Gripz help add muscle and strength to your body (especially arms) in a faster amount of time. They have been described as the "biggest thing to happen to weight training in the last decade"

Fat Gripz instantly convert barbells, dumbbells, chin-up bars and exercise machines into thick bars. Thick bar training can produce much bigger strength and muscle gains in the arms compared to standard training equipment

Thick bars make your hands, fingers and forearms so much stronger that your body can finally stop "holding back" the strength and muscle gains in your uppers arms, back and chest.

It is not uncommon for even an experienced lifter to make significant muscle gains in just a few months by switching to thick bars

Thicker handles stimulate much more muscle activation in the hands and arms. More muscle activation means much bigger muscle and strength gains.

There are 2 types of Fat Gripz. Fat Gripz and Fat Gripz Extreme. Both are phenomenal products but I highly recommend those that haven't tried this product to start off with the regular Fat Gripz. The Extreme is exactly that and makes the gripping even harder. So work your way up to the Extreme.

Fat Gripz is made for several types of training. Bodybuilding, Cross Fit, Power Lifting and Strongman, Arm Wrestling or even Martial Arts where grip is very important. I suggest you visit their home page and read up on this awesome product! I'm sold on it and will use it every workout!!

EatSmart Precision Body Check Bathroom Scale

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 15 Feb 2016 22:31:00 +0000

I'd like to thank the awesome folks over at www.eatsmartproducts.com for send me the Precision Body Check Bathroom Scale to try out and review. This scale has many functions, all of which I use, and super accurate, easy to use and uniquely designed to perfectly match the decor in any home.

The scales are engineered to the highest precision standards to provide you with consistently reliable products. Stop guessing your weight and let their scales help you get serious about your fitness and weight loss goals.

The EatSmart Precision Body Check does so much more than a typical bathroom scale. It measures weight, and estimates body fat, body water, body muscle, BMI, bone mass, and daily caloric intake using BIA electrode technology. Simply step on the scale and in seconds you'll see your 7 key health metrics.

Features

Large, 3.7" Backlit LCD display
"Step-On" technology - no more tapping to turn on your scale
Auto-recognition software stores up to 8 unique user profiles and recognizes the individual users
When a weight locks in, the scale beeps, giving the user time to step off and view their 7 health metrics
An athlete mode for very active users
4 high-precision sensors ensure consistent and accurate measurements
3 measurement modes: Pounds / Kilos / Stones
2 graduation increments: 0.2 lb / 0.1 kg

My personal opinion on this product is that it's pretty darn amazing. I love it and use it daily. Daily? Yes, daily. I compete in bodybuilding and my diet coach needs to know my weight on a daily basis. Other than that I would use this scale one to times a week just to keep myself in check.

The only part I wasn't really satisfied with was the body fat estimate. Right now I am 4 weeks out from my next competition in Oklahoma City and my body fat, according to 7 point caliper testing, is 4% The scale has me at 28%. So I'm not really using the body fat part of this scale. The rest is dead on as far as I can tell.

Do yourself a favor and click HERE to order one today! You will not be disappointed!

Transparent Labs BULK Series Pre-Workout!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 15:01:00 +0000

The great people over at Transparent Labs sent me a tub of their BULK Series Pre-Workout (Blue Raspberry) to try out and review here on my blog. First off I want to say THANK YOU to Transparent Labs for being so awesome and for trusting me to give an honest review of their product.

I started off with 1/2 scoop as the directions suggested. I was rather impressed that such a "low dose" (for a man my size and weight) could deliver such a steady flow of energy. I mixed 1/2 scoop in with 6-8oz water and drank it on my way to the gym.

The energy and pumps were fantastic. BULK lasted the entire workout and I still had gas left in the tank for more. I compete in Bodybuilding and feel my training is a bit harder than the average gym goer and BULK really helped me to grind through a tough workout.

Flavoring we really good. There are no artificial sweeteners or flavoring. They use low amounts of natural sweeteners which I really like!

Mix ability was excellent, very easy to mix. You can use a spoon to mix it. No clumps are settlement.

Overall I rate this product 9/10

What is BULK Series Pre-Workout?:

PreSeries BULK was developed for a specific purpose - to be the most exceptional "bulking" pre-workout supplement available. The key ingredients, all backed by published scientific research, are included at clinically effective dosages and contain zero colored dyes, unnecessary fillers, or harmful additives.

With 100% formula transparency and a potent Testosterone Support complex (vitamin D3, boron, and zinc), PreSeries BULK is most effective for serious athletes and bodybuilders looking to gain size and increase muscle mass.

There's a reason why PreSeries BULK comes in jumbo-sized jugs! Each serving exceeds 22 grams and includes 20 active ingredients that are designed to increase nitric oxide ("pump") and focus while working out, reduce fatigue and muscle soreness, all while enhancing overall physical performance.

Ingredient Profile:

Citrulline Malate 2:16,000 mg

Beta-Alanine4,000 mg

BCAA 2:1:1 4,000 mg

This review is on AI SPORTS NUTRITION 100% Whey Protein Birthday Cake Flavor!

Now I have had tried a lot of whey protein in my years of training and competing. I think I have tried almost every flavor out there. But this one stands out. BIG TIME. The birthday cake flavoring is nothing short of amazing. Extremely tasty and delicious and I might add kind of addicting.

From my very first sip I was sold on this brand and the flavor. What i even better is that not only can I enjoy a delicious whey shake anytime but I can also make Protein pancakes with it. I have also made protein cup cakes and waffles using this brand and flavor and let me tell you, they was HEAVEN!

If you would like to try this product, and I suggest that you do. Click HERE to order and use code HUGEBANKS30 and get a killer 30% off!

AI Sports Nutrition FURIOUS!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 26 Oct 2015 22:13:00 +0000

First off I want to thank AI Sports Nutrition for allowing me to try this product and review it. Their products are top notch and the quality is second to none.

I got a tub of FURIOUS which is their bad ass pre workout drink. I got the Booming Blue Raz flavor. I ran this product for a few weeks and the consistency in energy was always there. No crash either. I train 6 days a week and my training is often VERY intense so I needed a product that would do what it claims. FURIOUS did just that!

Click HERE to order!

I mixed 1 scoop in 4oz of water. I like my flavor to be a tad strong, especially Blue Raz. It mixes so easily and there is no settlement at the bottom of my shaker cup. The flavor was REALLY good but I have to be honest and say it isn't the best Blue Raz i've ever had. I added a little Blue Raz flavoring from Kool Aid. Not much, just a half tablespoonful. Energy and drive were top notch. The energy flowed steadily and lasted the entire workout with no crash,

I highly recommend this product to those looking to step up their training a good bit. FURIOUS doesn't make you feel gittery or wired out like some pre-workouts do. It gives a steady flow of consistent energy and drive. It came in very handy on leg days!

Moxie Munch!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 04 Oct 2015 14:19:00 +0000

I found a really nice "treat" on the web the other day. I ran across Moxie Munch as I was in search of a new healthy snack that would easily fit into my macros. I am always looking for a snack or meal that is easy to prepare, easy to take on the go, tastes great and fits my macros. Moxie Munch fits all those!

What is Moxie Munch?

Moxie Munch is a dairy based snackable protein product for people of all ages. The Moxie Munch Power Foods team realized the need for healthier, better tasting, and more convenient protein products was not being filled in the market. After more "foody" experimentation and many different versions of Moxie Munch, the Power Foods team announced Moxie Munch.

I gave both flavors a try and must say they taste pretty darn good! They come in Honey BBQ (my new fav) and Apple Pie. Both flavors are fantastic but that Honey BBQ is the bees knees!

What are the macros?

A serving size is 1.6oz or 45g (which is 1 bag)
Calories are: 170 Calories from fat: 17

Fat: 2g
Carb: 18g
Pro: 21g

• Dairy Based Protein Product

• Over 20 grams of Protein Per Serving

• Gluten Free

• Great Source of Iron with 13% of Daily Needs

• Only 170 Calories

Moxie Munch has a shelf life of approximately 6 months.

IGF-1 (1-3)

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 10 Aug 2015 19:29:00 +0000

I am writing about another one of my favorite peptides. IGF-1. I'll drive right in and tell you what it is, what it does and where to get it.

What is IGF-1?

IGF1 or insulin-like growth factor 1 is a growth factor which is very closely related to insulin. It carries the same amount of amino acids as insulin and responsible for the anabolic reactions to GH. IGF-1 is an important factor in childhood growth and is highly anabolic in adults. It is also known by the brand name Increlex and the generic name mecasermin.

Action

IGF-1 is released in the liver and binds to the IGF receptors within the cells, which ultimately causes a stimulation of cell growth (both causing new tissue formation and existing tissue growth) and an inhibition of cell death. It is a highly anabolic and anti-catabolic compound. For the athlete or bodybuilder, this had many positive effects: increased nitrogen retention and protein synthesis because it is highly anabolic. IGF-1 (in the presence of sufficient protein) actually promotes growth of new muscle cells, which increases the overall number of cells in the muscle.

IGF protects the neurons of the brain as well as promotes growth of new motor neurons, making it more possible to rapidly learn new skills during its use. IGF-1 is also responsible in connective tissue production, improves collagen formation and aids in cartilage repair. Similarly, it affects the bones by aiding in bone production and repair.

My personal experience with this peptide has been nothing short of phenomenal. The way I take this peptide is by injecting it in each muscle i'm training that day approx 20-30min prior to training. For example, if i'm working chest and triceps I will inject it in each tricep then go train. The pump is amazing and I can actually "feel" my muscle working better. The same goes for other body parts, I will do the same exact thing with quads, biceps are whatever bodypart i want to really blast that day. I've had nothing but great results with it and my workouts are improving. I have to say that the pump can be, at times, VERY intense. Damn painful sometimes but that is GROWTH happening so embrace it!

GHRP-6

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 11 Jul 2015 00:24:00 +0000

GHRP-6 (Growth Hormone Releasing Hexapeptide)

I wanted to share some information on this amazing peptide. I have been using this product for a few weeks now and LOVE it! I've had appetite problems for months. I couldn't eat very much which was really affecting my growth, strength sleep and more. My gym performance was really suffering and I was very tired and sleepy all day. So I did some reasearch and talked to a few people I trust and they suggested GHRP-6. I have been very impressed with whats been happening with my body while using this peptide. Appetite is way up, i'm seeing more muscle growth, strength and performance in the gym has greatly improved and i'm not tired and sleepy all day anymore!!

(Use Promo Code "CASS" for 25% off your order)

by Bill Roberts – GHRP-6 is an injectable peptide in the category of growth hormone releasing peptides, or GHRP’s. The most common use of these peptides is to increase GH production. Other peptides in this category include GHRP-2, hexarelin, and ipamorelin. With regard to increasing GH, all of these work similarly, and there is no need or advantage to combining them. Instead, the one most suited for the particular case is chosen.

The principal use of GHRP-6 is to provide increased GH levels, which also results in increased IGF-1 levels. This aids fat loss and in some instances aids muscle gain as well. Generally, GHRP use is chosen as an alternate to GH use, and only rarely is combined with GH.

Reasons to prefer GHRP-6 over other GHRP’s are its effect on increasing appetite (which also can be a disadvantage), and its demonstrated value in reducing inflammation and helping to heal injury, particularly tendinitis.

When to use GHRP-6

GHRP-6 is most generally used for the same purposes that GH might be used, but may be chosen where a cost advantage exists favoring GHRP-6, GH is not available, or the individual prefers the idea of stimulating his own GH production to injecting GH.

These purposes can include increased fat loss, improved muscle gain when used in combination withanabolic steroids, cosmetic improvement of the skin, and improved healing from injury.

There is no need to cycle GHRP use, and so therefore GHRP-6 may be used whenever it is thought to be useful for any of the above reasons. However, when usage is ongoing instead of short-term amplification of a steroid cycle or fat-loss program, I recommend limiting dosage to the minimum end of the suggested dosage range.

Increased effect from combining GHRP-6 with a GHRH

While GHRP-6 is capable of inducing large increases in GH production when used alone, a given dose will show markedly more effect what a GHRH (growth hormone releasing hormone) peptide is taken at the same time. Alternately, when combining a GHRH with GHRP-6, only about half or a third as much GHRP-6 is needed to obtain the same increase in GH production.

For this reason, it’s a common choice to combine a GHRH with a GHRP, but excellent results are often obtained without doing so. A preferred choice of GHRH is Mod GRF 1-29 (also known as CJC-1295 without DAC.)

How to use GHRP-6

GHRP-6 is most commonly provided in small vials of 5 mg, which should be stored under refrigeration. (It is acceptable however for them to be mailed unrefrigerated.) The vial is diluted with a convenient volume of sterile or bacteriostatic water. For example, the vial might be diluted with 2.5 mL of water, yielding a solution of 2 mg/mL (2000 mcg/mL.) After the water addition, the vial again will be stored under refrigeration.

When dosing, an appropriate volume will be drawn from the vial with (typically) an insulin syringe, according to the desired dose and the concentration of the preparation. In the above example, a 100 mcg dose would require only 0.05 mL, or “5 IU” as marked on an insulin syringe. A 300 mcg would require 0.15 mL, or “15 IU” as marked on an insulin syringe.

Injection may be subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intravenous according to personal preference.

Dosing will ordinarily be at least twice per day and preferably 3x/day for best effect, taken at least 30-60 minutes before a meal and at a time of non-elevated blood sugar (in other words, after blood sugar has had time to fall since the most recent meal.) The amount taken generally will be from 50-300 mcg at a time. When using a GHRH along with GHRP-6, dosing should be reduced to 50-100 mcg at a time.

For increase in GH levels, higher doses within the suggested range definitely increase effect. With regard to healing benefit, for example for tendonitis, the low end of the range is often entirely sufficient and noticeably greater effect is not necessarily seen with increased dose.

While there is no sharp cut-off between a solution of GHRP-6 still being good and having lost potency with time, as a general guideline, a vial should be used within a month of having been reconstituted. Past this, I would discard the vial and start a new one.

Pharmacological class: Mimetic of ghrelin

GHRP-6 and all GHRP’s are mimetics of ghrelin, a hormone produced by cells of the stomach in response to a fasted condition, including brief fasts. Ghrelin and ghrelin mimetics work by activating the ghrelin receptor, also called the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R1a). Elevated ghrelin levels act towards increasing GH levels by stimulation of ghrelin receptors in the pituitary.

Injection of GHRP-6 or any GHRP stimulates GH release in essentially the same way as fasting-induced elevation of ghrelin levels. The effect can be markedly greater, however. Supraphysiological levels of GH are easily achieved with proper dosing of any GHRP.

Other activities of ghrelin, and potentially of GHRP-6

Ghrelin has many activities in the body besides stimulating GH release. It stimulates appetite, is cardioprotective, can help protect cells against oxidative damage, can reduce inflammation and promote healing, and can promote fat-burning in muscle. There is also some effect on increase in cortisol production via increase in ACTH, and increase in prolactin. However, where the activity of ghrelin is comparable to that which ordinarily occurs during fasting, effects on cortisol and prolactin likewise are comparably only to that experienced while fasting.

Ghrelin itself so far as I know has not been used as a performance-enhancing drug. In contrast, experience with GHRP’s is quite extensive. GHRP-6 in particular has in many cases been effective in treating tendonitis, which may well be due to its activity at the ghrelin receptor.

Broadly speaking, it’s long been a widespread view that fasting can in many instances provide healthful effects beyond simple fat loss. It’s speculative to say that increased ghrelin levels must be a major cause of such effect (if granting the effect), but it’s entirely consistent with the scientific literature that such elevation of ghrelin levels may have health benefits. Appropriate-dosed and cycled GHRP use may at least partially provide such benefits, particularly with regard to anti-inflammatory and healing effect.

There are indications in the literature of ghrelin acting to promote fat-storage, but this appears to be tissue-specific, for example in the liver. In bodybuilding, by no means has any such effect been apparent with GHRP-6. Instead, GHRP-6 has been effective as a cutting drug, provided that food intake is controlled.

Because some GHRP’s are equally effective as others in increasing GH but differ in effect on hunger or ACTH stimulation, it seems likely that there may be differences in ghrelin receptors between different tissues, or differences in function (for example with cofactors.) This is the most likely explanation for GHRP-6 being effective in stimulating hunger and helping heal tendinitis, while GHRP-2 stimulates hunger less and may have less value for healing.

Factors decreasing efficacy of GHRP-6

For increasing GH levels, GHRP-6 is less effective in the presence of high blood glucose levels or high somatostatin levels, which result from high IGF-1 levels. For this reason, for best effect GHRP-6 should be taken while blood sugar is relatively low, for example about 30-60 minutes before a meal. GHRP-6 will have reduced effect if GH is being taken by injection, because GH increases IGF-1. Where GH use is limited to no more than about 14 IU per week, simultaneous GHRP-6 use probably still will increase GH somewhat further, but if GH use is greater than this then likely GHRP-6 injections will do little to nothing towards increasing GH levels any further.

Low thyroid levels also decrease efficacy of GHRP-6, and modestly increased thyroid levels, such as with 50-200 mcg/day of T4, or 12.5-50 mcg/day of T3, may improve efficacy. (If T3 is used, dosage should be divided into three doses per day.)

GHRP-6 and gynecomastia

While I doubt that GHRP-6 use is likely to cause gynecomastia (gyno), elevation of prolactin from GHRP-6 use can be problematic for some individuals who already have gyno, including undetected gyno which developed during puberty. Ipamorelin can be a better choice of GHRP for such individuals.

Conclusion

GHRP-6 can effectively provide substantial increases in GH production. It’s typically taken 2-3 times per day by injection at times when blood sugar is not elevated. Cost is generally moderate. The only common potential adverse side effect is increased hunger. Common alternates include GHRP-2, hexarelin, ipamorelin, or GH itself. GHRP-6 also may provide benefits which GH does not, via its action at the ghrelin receptor in various tissues of the body.

4 Mistakes You’re Making with Your Protein

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 06 Jul 2015 17:14:00 +0000

Get more protein in your body.” Protein is known to be an essential nutrient you have to consume every day. This muscle-builder is a must-have for anyone who wants to get fit, grow more muscles and get a shredded physique. But even if it’s healthy, there are many common mistakes of consuming it. Avoid these blunders and you’ll reach your bodybuilding, fitness and weight loss goals faster.

1. Eating Proteins from The Same Source

A “complete protein” is one that offers all 9 essential amino acids. Getting your protein from various sources will ensure you’re getting all amino acids. Plus, you’ll get the fiber,vitamins and other nutrients that grow muscle, speed up weight loss and prevent disease. Aim to get these protein-loaded foods into your system daily.

2. Getting Your Protein in Only 1 Meal

Don’t limit proteins to a single meal. As much as you’ve got to eat several times a day to sustain a high metabolism, you also have to ensure those meals and snacks contain protein. So don’t wait until dinner or after your exercise to take it all in one swoop. Distribute your protein consumption to absorb it all and to keep you energized throughout the day.

"Note: Though protein is important, consuming too much of it (especially post-workout) is bad as your body will accumulate the excess as fat."

3. Munching On Protein Bars

Protein bars may be convenient and a healthy snack alternative, but many aren’t much better than candy bars. Do your homework and read the labels.

4. Buying ANY Protein Supplement

Don’t just grab any protein powder you see. Do your research and stay away from those packed with sweeteners. A quality whey like this one is a great choice.

Now that you know how to take your protein better, you’ll be able to take this nutrient’s benefits to the next level!

Protein Pupp Chow!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 08 Jun 2015 21:39:00 +0000

Traditional Puppy Chow a.k.a. Muddy Buddies are loaded with fat, but this slimmed down version is packed with protein! Makes for a deliciously perfect pre or post workout snack!

NOTE: This is not my recipe, I found this on A Fit Philosophy.

Protein Puppy Chow

Ingredients (makes 1 serving):

3/4 Cup (30g) Chex Cereal
4 TBS (24g) Chocolate PB2
Liquid Vanilla Stevia (to taste)
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 TBS (10g) Vanilla Whey Protein Powder (I suggest True Nutrition Whey because its the best)

Directions:

In a large mug or bowl, mix the Chocolate PB2 with water. I would use a little more than the recommendations in the instructions because you want the consistency to be a bit liquidy. Add vanilla extract and vanilla stevia to mixture and stir until everything is smooth. (for more protein mix with liquid egg whites instead of water)

Pour cereal in mug/bowl with PB2 mixture and stir gently with spoon until all Chex is completely coated.

Pour PB2 covered Chex into Ziploc bag. Pour protein powder on top of Chex in Ziploc bag, seal bag, and shake it baby, shake it!

When all of the Chex looks to be covered in white protein powder goodness, put back in mug and enjoy!

Nutritional Information (1 serving):

**This nutritional information is based on the products that I used to create this recipe and can vary based the brands of products that you use.**

Gnar Pump

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 23 Mar 2015 23:41:00 +0000

I was on YouTube watching videos by the Dom Merch a.k.a The BROfessor. He has always made me laugh with his witty humor and crazy energy he has. So, when I saw he had his own pre-workout drink I instantly thought to myself "if his product has half the energy Dom does, it's gotta be good". So, I went to his website www.brosupps.com and purchased the Optimus Lime flavor.

Here's some info on it.

Lose your virginity to GNAR PUMP.

• Savage ingredients and unique microtechnologydeliver instant rapid fire energy, unmanageable strength, and relentless pumps.

* Ultra potent advanced formula and bold flavors paired with your insatiable drive to make gains will explode planets and sink battleships.

• Train with Gnar Pump, train like a freak beast. It's your turn.

Achieve your goals with the GNAR PUMP PRE WORKOUT GAIN BOMB:

Beta Alanine, Creatine Monohydrate, Taurine help deliver intense gains, increase endurance, and enhance your power outputs to unbelievable levels.
Trimethylglycine helps to decrease fatigue and increase performance.
Agmatine Sulfate and Yohimbie for intense "pumps" for that highly vascular look.
N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine and Vinpocitine to boost your mood and keep you focused.
Higenamine and AMP Citrate for an intense energy without a crash afterwards.
Prepare for more focus, more reps, more results.

I started off using 1 scoop in 8oz of water. I wanted to test it and see how poerful it was before I tried 2 scoops. I took 1 scoop in 8oz water about 30min prior to training. I didn't notice much at all if anything. So the next day I tried 1 scoop in 4oz water thinking I may have watered it down. Again not much was noticed. Then I decided to try 2 scoops in 6oz water 30min prior to training. Again, not much at all. I decided to run it at 2 scoops in 4oz water for a few days just to give it one last try and hope it would finally do something. To my disappoinemt it didn't do anything for me.

The flavor was great and it mixes perfectly but I got no energy, no pumps or anything from this product. If you decide to try it, start off at 1 scoop just to be safe.

Lean Beef Aminos

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 23 Dec 2014 02:54:00 +0000

I compete in Bodybuilding and Im always on the lookout for a product that can help me improve my physique, give me that "edge". Well, I found one! Lean Beef Aminos! What are Lean Beef Aminos? What are they made of? How do they taste? Here are the answers to those questions directly from the LBA web site! www.lbaprotein.com

A SPECIALIZED BEEF PROTEIN ISOLATE- The beef protein Isolate found in LBAs is sourced by the industry leader in raw materials, True Nutrition. It is a COMPLETE protein providing all of the essential and non essential amino acids. Beef protein isolate rivals many whey isolates in the amino profile. It is a great alternative as well for those seeking a non-lactose or non-dairy protein source.

HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN- Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in the body. Collagen is very important in health of skin, joints, teeth, ligaments, eyes, bones, tendons, and arteries. Taking a high quality collagen supplement, like LBAs, also helps the skin to retain elasticity and moisture. This can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, as well as cellulite. While athletes of all levels tax their bodies to the maximum, it is VITAL to make sure the skeletal system, joints, and tendons are at their peak condition. We use only high quality ingrediants for your high quality bodies!

GLYCEROL- Known for its effects on muscle cell "super hydration", it is also a great athletic enhancer! Supplementing with glycerol can help athletes perform in hot weather by keeping cells hydrated. Glycerol also helps transport blood to the brain. Many athletes mention feeling a slight "pump" while utilizing glycerol in their supplementation program.

FLAVORING- LBAs flavoring system is second to NONE! They are famous for the unmistakable taste resemblence to a famous supermarket brand name chocolate syrup. You will feel like you're having a dessert treat everytime! The 2 flavors are very versatile and can be used in countless recipes. You can see many recipes and pictures of the finished product by visiting the Lean Beef Amino facebook page- www.Facebook.com/LBAprotein.

I made a fantastic tasting protein milk shake with Chocolate flavor LBA. Fat free milk, Fat free vanilla ice cream and chocolate LBS! VERY tasty and very healthy! This product can be used as a healthy snack or even as a meal replacement!

Nutritional Facts:

Serving Size: 1 TBS

Sevings per 32oz container: 64

Man Cakes!

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 08 Dec 2014 20:52:00 +0000

I tried Eat Man Cakes Protein Pancakes for the very first time and have to say this brand is amazing. The flavor of the protein pancakes was so very good! I have to say these were the best tasting protein pancakes ever. I've tried several brands and even made my own from scratch but Man Cakes is far better tasting and easier to make. They mix super easy in water and cook evenly. I've had some that would turn thick and clumpy for some odd reason. The macros on these pancakes is really good too. They easily fit within the macros I set for myself and my clients.

What are Man Cakes and what is in them?

Man Cakes are protein pancakes. Each Mancakes serving contains 6 Superfood Sources that provide 20-23g Protein and 4-10g Fiber with between 19g and 38 Net Carbs and 2-7g Sugar, all from soy-free and gluten-free sources. This makes Mancakes the best choice for getting the protein you need before or after your workout without any added sugars, empty carbs, cheap protein sources, or mystery ingredients - unlike those shakes and protein bars.

Superfood Ingredients Include:
- Whey Protein Isolate    - Almonds
- Egg White Powder        - Flax Seeds
- Whole Grain Oats          - Garbanzo & Fava Beans

Each Mancakes style has a delicious flavor derived from their 100% all-natural sources and an amazing fluffy texture. You won't believe that something this healthy can taste this good. Customers often comment that they even prefer the taste to regular pancakes. The flavor is truly very tasty and I'd rather eat these than any other pancke. Yep, even IHOPs. lol

Just like ordinary pancake mix, you can also add your own custom flavors directly into the batter like chopped nuts, blueberries, chocolate chips, mashed bananas, apples, pretty much anything (add 1-2 Tablespoons per serving).

As for toppings, Mancakes taste great with maple syrup, agave nectar, honey, or fruit. For lower carb options, try topping with peanut butter, yogurt, butter spread, or simply enjoy plain. I used Maple Syrup from Walden Farms so I could enjoy the sweet syrup flavor without adding sugar and more calories.

Mancakes come in 3 flavors. Buttermilk, Light Chocolate and Cinnamon Oat. All 3 were fantastic! If you was a tasty meal that's healthy then grab some Mancakes today!! I am confident you will love these pancakes and will be totally hooked!

Eat Smart CalPal Digital Bathroom Scale

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 21:51:00 +0000

I want to thank the folks over at Eat Smart for allowing me to review another one of their fantastic products. They were so kind to send me the Eat Smart CalPal Digital Bathroom Scale to try and give a review on.

Ok, let's get right into the what it is, what it does and my thoughts.

What it is:

The Eat Smart CalPal Digital Bathroom Scale is a sturdy bathroom scale that has a 440 lb. Capacity, BMI and Calorie Intake Analysis. For those that want to follow and control their BMI and calorie intake this is a great way to know where you're at.

What it does:

BMI Calculation Indicator - Track General Health Quickly and Easily by Estimating Needed Caloric Intake to Lose/Maintain Weight

Automatic User Identification Technology - CalPal immediately identifies the user based on past weights.

Illuminated Bright Blue backlit 3.5'' dual line LCD screen

4 High Precision EatSmart Sensors - Consistent and accurate measurement up to 440 lbs or 200 kgs every time; Graduation increments of .1 lbs. / .1 kg. Sturdy 6mm thick tempered glass top and large 12" x 12" platform

Auto Calibrated; Auto Power-Off; Runs on 3 AAA batteries (included); 100% EatSmart Satisfaction Guarantee.

My Thoughts:

My first impression was awesome. The style of this scale was pleasant and wouldn't look like some old ugly scale in on my bathroom floor. This scale looks great. The display was my next favorite thing. EASY to read display, very bright and clear. It comes with a user guide that explains how to set it up so make sure that you read the book before you do anything else! It explains how to set the scale, enter information and how to read BMI.

I'm not a follower or fan of tracking BMI. My BMI was 28.7 which means I am "overweight". I am a competitive Bodybuilder, weight 200lbs and my body fat is in the single digits....I'm not "overweight". But like I said some people follow the BMI way.

Overall I am VERY impressed with this scale and will continue to use it. I am currently in contest prep and have a Bodybuilding contest November 22nd and I have to use the scale daily. I would highly recommend this scale to anyone and everyone rather you track BMI or not. The plus to the scale is it shows you the calories you need to lose/maintain your weight. Typically most take the calorie number it gives and subtract 500 calories and that's how you lose weight. Of course eating better and exercise go hand in hand.

If you would like to purchase this amazing scale just click the link below, it will take you directly to the scale on Amazon.

I tried this new product for 30 days. I wanted to do a review on it and share my experience with this product with all of you. Thank you to Chris Allison for sending me this amazing product to try out. I was VERY impressed with this product and will use it again! My biggest problem with my training is endurance. My strength is fine and all goes great but about half way in to my training session I get very tired and endurance fades fast.

Amino Ignite was a huge help in many areas but especially with endurance! My workouts were nothing shirt of perfect and even hit a few new personal bests! So, let's talk about what it is and what it does.....

Amino Ignite is designed to improve athletic performance. It helps delay and reduce muscle fatigue and soreness by reducing lactic acid build up while increasing blood flow. Basically less pain MORE gain!

DAIRY, AND COMMON ALLERGENS. NO BANNED SUBSTANCES.

Amino Ignite!

Directions and Ingredients

I had phenomenal workouts while using this product. My energy, drive, endurance and stamina were all on point. The label said to start with 1 scoop, so I did and it worked really well but I am 210lbs and compete at 198lbs so 2 scoops was more effective for my goals and needs.

Be sure to give this product a try. You won't be disappointed!

Rating:

Mixability: 10/10 mixed easily
Flavor: 9/10 flavor was damn good!
Effectiveness: 10/10 I have not 1 single complaint on this product!

Here's to a new you!

I saw this supplement on Youtube of all places. The reviews were mixed of course but what I noticed about a majority of the reviews was that no one could really explain WHAT this product did for them. They stated they felt "something" or a bit more fullness/pump while training and throughout the day. I read numerous reviews, watched several videos including the series iSatori made with Marc Lobliner of Tiger Fitness.

I wasn't sure if I should try it or not. I wasn't exactly "SOLD" on what I had read but I wanted to see for myself and experience this "something" everyone else felt. So, I went online to www.Tigerfitness.com and purchased a total of 4 tubs of this stuff. I wanted to run it for a long time and see if there was any noticeable changes in size, strength and all that. And what better time than Pre-Contest time!

I took 2 scoops with 1 scoop Humapro first thing in the morning. The second 2 scoops would be right after training with my post workout shake. There isnt a "flavor" to this stuff but its texture is weird and kinda pasty. Sticky in a way, especially when wet.

Ok, here's what I noticed after 4 tubs of this stuff. Muscle fullness and a pump that lasted all day, every day. My strength didn't increase, size did a bit which I would say the pump/fullness caused that. Now, before anyone starts the "was your diet in check?" stuff, i used the first these tubs pre contest for all 5 shows and I won the overall 4 out of 5 of my shows, so YES my diet and training were in check.

I'm totally sold on BioGro. I will be making another purchase for sure. It's totally worth the $30.00 price tag in my opinion.

This is a pic of my transformation from mid January 2013 to October 2013. I used Bio-Gro starting in June and ran it through my Last show in November 2013. I took 5 overall titles home!!

What is Bio-Gro?

Bio-Gro is a true "game-changer" from iSatori. The first to introduce a new breed of designer supplementation called Bio-Active Peptides. You can think of Bio-Gro as "fertilizer for your muscles."

How does Bio-Gro work?

iSatori has custom engineered and patented the first and most technically advanced, low molecular weight, micro-concentrated form of Bio-Active Peptides (BAP's) found only in Bio-Gro. Designed to provide a supra-physiological effect that, once consumed, signals the body to amplify its natural protein synthesis process, helping you develop lean muscle and recover faster from intense workouts.

Why should I use Bio-Gro?

There are five reasons you should use Bio-Gro:

1. More concentrated. A more concentrated form of Bio-Active Peptides means less out-of-pocket expense for you, compared to regular protein powders. That is because one small scoop (1.5 grams) of Bio-Gro contains the equivalent bio-actives as 25 grams of whey protein concentrate. That makes Bio-Gro nearly half the cost, on a serving-per-serving basis, of regular whey protein powders.

2. More convenient. Unlike bulky tablets and flavored powders, Bio-Gro is an unflavored powder in its raw form that is virtually tasteless. Though it doesn't mix well in plain water, it does mix easily into almost everything else-from your protein shake to pre-workout to amino drink, and even in soft foods like yogurt, cereal, or oatmeal, and more.

3. More scientific research. There are over 32 published clinical studies that back up the demonstrated benefits of the primary ingredient in Bio-Gro. And more importantly, these studies were conducted mostly on well-trained athletes, participants who traditionally show less positive effects compared to untrained individuals.

4. More expert opinions. There hasn't been a supplement we can think of, to date, that has had more PhD-sports nutrition experts who independently support and validate the science and effects supporting the primary ingredient in Bio-Gro. Including such highly reputable names as Chris Lockwood, PhD; Jeffrey Stout, PhD; Jay Hoffman, PhD; and David Sandler, ABD-PhD.

5. Highest quality and banned-substance tested. Because iSatori controls the domestic source of our ingredient and has engineered the first micro-concentrated, low molecular weight Bio-Active Peptides found in Bio-Gro, you can trust and count on every batch being of the highest quality and consistency; and what's more, each batch is tested and certified free of any banned substances (via Informed Choice™ ), and is GRAS certified, HALAL, Kosher, and produced in a certified GMP (good manufacturing practice) facility right here in the USA.
