Intrastack - rtdiesel

[rtdiesel]

Product(s):

• Athletic Edge Nutrition Intrabolic
• Athletic Edge Nutrition IntraXCell

Duration of Review: 30 days

Dosage: Intrabolic: 1.5 scoops on training days ONLY; 3 pills IntraXCell before training, 3 pills evening (6 total Intraxcell pills/day)

Workout Routine:

• Doug's 4-Day Split - Sat, Sun, Tues, Wed
• 2 mile run - Mon, Thur

Weigh-in (start): 173 lbs.

Intrabolic:
TASTE: When mixed with cold water, taste is not that bad. sort of a diluted gatorade type flavor, hardly an issue drinking it down.
MIX: as good as you could get- dissolved completely after 5-10 strong shakes in my blender bottle cup. no residue or clumps left @ bottom.
ENERGY: see effects (below)
EFFECTS: the endurance boost is definitely noticeable- i have been moving up in weight as well as pushing out the final reps in tough sets with much more ease than before i was taking intrastack.

IntraXCell:
TASTE: pills have no taste besides the sulfuric smell of NAC content
MIX: no mix- pill
ENERGY: never felt an extreme energy boost, but always felt good and prepared upon gym entry every session
EFFECTS: Prickling sensation nothing distracting or impairing, i'd describe it as a skin tingling that i feel mostly in my face and upper arms.

Other notes:
starting pics to be posted within two to three days.

first day on the intrastack- 3 pills intraxcell about 30 min before workout, 1.5 scoops intrabolic during, and 3 more pills intraxcell in a few hours in the evening.

shoulder and tri's:
(reps x weight)
shoulder press: 12x50 - 10x60 - 8x65 - 6x70
dumbbell lateral raise: 12x12.5 - 10x12.5 - 8x12.5 - 6x15
dumbbell reverse fly: 12x17.5 - 10x17.5 - 8x17.5 - 6x17.5
dumbbell shrugs: 12x40 - 10x40 - 8x45 - 6x45
tricep pushdown: 10x50 - 8x60 - 6x60
one arm cable extension: 10x20 - 8x25 - 6x25
tricep kickback: 10x15 - 8x15 - 6x17.5

felt solid throughout, will push it harder as i get settled into this new routine.
hoping intrabolic taste improves over time (or that i don't notice it as much)

worked BACK muscle group today
did not notice the prickling that much until post workout, when i took second 3-pill dose of Intraxcell. lifts went well, still felt i could power through the last rep which i often stall out on.
will try to push myself to the limit next week and make sure that im not just getting complacent.

wide grip pullup: 8 unassisted, then 3 sets 10, 8, 6 reps with 25 lb. assistance
close grip pulldown: 12x70, 10x77.5, 8x85, 6x100
one arm dbell row: 12x30, 10x30, 8x35, 6x35
bent over barbell row: 12x70, 10x80, 8x80, 6x90

taste of intrabolic not as bad, i think having a larger amount of water to dissolve it in at the beginning rather than adding more as i drank it helped.

3 pills intraxcell morning, 3 pills intraxcell evening (both with food).

still feeling the prickliness, it can get annoying sometimes but isnt a big issue at all, and still feeling a boost in my last reps. definitely a plus

legs day.
killed me. haven't worked legs in 2 weeks, and it showed.

squat: 12x160, 10x210, 8x230, 6x250
leg press: 12x280, 10x280, 8x330, 6x360
Leg Extension: 12x90, 10x100, 8x110, 6x120
deadlift: 12x115, 10x135, 8x115, 6x115
calf raise: 12x150, 10x150, 10x150

it was exhausting today. legs quivering during the deadlifts, had to ease up the weight.

The endurance boost is crazy though, feeling strong and able to finish the lifts. increasing weight at almost every set (not necessarily today, but all other days)

definitely experiencing a delay and reduction in soreness as well

product appears to be working well, 1 week in. as second week comes around and carnosine levels are supposed to start showing effects of increased concentration, i'm excited to see how my lifts will go.
