Intrastack - rtdiesel

[rtdiesel]

i just began week three of the demo, so i'll make my remarks about the demo thus far (just past halfway):

The most obvious benefit i've noticed from INTRASTACK is the endurance boost. As i understood from the literature and bottle labels, the carnosine levels will buffer the acidity and keep muscles in optimal ph-levels so they can perform better. I feel the ability to finish the last reps in a tough set more so than before, when i was just taking whey and some simple carbs during my summer cut.

I forgot to take serious measurements at the beginning, so i'm going off eyeball judgments, but i feel some slight gains in size. i've managed to gain a pound or two, hopefully in lean mass. ill get a bodyfat and lean mass check from doug tomorrow.

i'm satisfied with this product and my training. I'll definitely look at it again once i try the xtend + vaso stack and burn through my protein- i might try just adding the intraxcell to keep carnosine levels up and replace the xtend with either whey alone or another bcaa+eaa supp.

SUMMARY:
taste definitely improved/ (or maybe i adjusted to it).
it mixes great, even better than my regular whey PWO shake.
great endurance boost, it holds true to its claims from what i can tell. hopefully ill be able to report bigger mass gains by the end of the month long demo.

hit a bit of a snafu in making a post-demo analysis spreadsheet. can't count the days when i had to switch out an exercise for an alternative due to time constraints. stupid student gyms crowded with clowns.

will refine and get it up eventually.

Is this log still going on?

I do have an initial question - You mentioned your dosing was 3 pills of IXCell PRE, 1.5 scoops of IA during and another 3 pills of IXCell postworkout.

What bottle did you have? Meaning, does the label list 40 servings or 20 servings?

Because if it's 20 servings, then no more than 1 scoop is recommended and there was/is no need to take 2 servings (3 pills) of IXCell in a day.

i switched my routine up for this past week, im going back to Doug 4-day split, just wanted to shock the muscles i guess, try something different. the demo for intrastack was one month, i still have some left and will post my workouts here as long as there's still some left.

the bottle i have of intraxcell says "full 30 day supply" and contains 180 pills, and athletic edge recommends that when using with intrabolic on training days you should take 3 pills post workout, and on non training days take 3 pills morning and 3 pills at night.

me and another guy doing the same demo (barryt i think) wanted to squeeze the demo into one month and so we took 2 servings (3 pills each) of intraxcell on both training and non training days. it upped the dosage of beta-alanine we were getting, but nothing unsafe.

had a great shoulders and triceps workout today. progressed in several lifts, i think having a more solid training buddy there helps motivate me to lift heavier, gets me out of my habits and comfort. trying to get to the point where i do that by myself, consistently.

anyways, ill post up results tomorrow along with back workout details.
will soon be starting a new log for different product, but i'll miss this- definitely felt a boost from ae nutrition's intrastack. hoping to see something similar from my next endeavor.
