Default PowerFuLL/Cissus/Camph/Mass Pump Stack LOG

I've been already taking cissus for the past 2 months and have added in PowerFull about 5 days ago. I'm not going to keep a day by day log, but just post updates here and there. Will be adding Campholic to the mix when it arrives next week. And the mass pump stack is the folowing:
Creatine Gluconate
Arginine Ethyl Ester
Citruline Malate

This will be dosed at 3-3-3

Citrulline Malate is a compound consisting of Citrulline, a nonessential amino acid that is primarily found in melons, and malate, an apple derivative. For the past 20 years Citrulline Malate has been used in Europe to treat fatigue, muscle weakness and Dementia. Dementia is a mental disorder that affects your ability to think, speak and move. Citrulline Malate has been used with great success by European clinicians as a natural antiasthenic, with reported results of increased energy and overall feelings of well-being.



What does it do?

1. Increases NO Production

So what is NO and what can it do for you? Nitric oxide is the cell-signaling molecule that has a part in regulating blood flow, oxygen delivery, glucose uptake, muscle firepower, and muscle growth. Obviously the ability to control these physiological effects can be of tremendous value to athletes.

Research has shown that supplementation of Citrulline raises Arginine levels more effectively than taking the same dose of straight Arginine. Keep in mind that Citrulline Malate's NO enhancing properties are just one of the unique benefits this nutrient offers to athletes. And if the enhanced pumps and improved nutrient delivery properties are the reason you are using Arginine based NO products, you need to pay attention to Citrulline Malate.



2. Reduces Lactic Acid and Ammonia

Here is something else you need to know about Citrulline... it is an intermediate in the Urea Cycle. The Urea Cycle is a system in the liver of carrier molecules and enzymes that convert nitrogenous wastes into urea and eliminates them from the body. The production and removal of urea is essential for the elimination of ammonia and toxic nitrogen metabolites. Ammonia is extremely toxic to all cells and excessive levels may even be fatal. Even in healthy athletes, the build up of ammonia can lead to extreme fatigue and dementia.



3. Increases ATP Production

No doubt there is a lot to get excited about when it comes to the performance enhancing potential of Citrulline Malate and how it works. Another study showed yet another way Citrulline Malate can benefit athletes - by increasing aerobic energy production. Studies show subjects using Citrulline Malate have an increase in the rate of muscle ATP (Andenosine Triphosphate, the major energy source within the cell) production during exercise and greater phosphocreatine recovery after exercise. So taking Citrulline Malate may result in muscles that can keep on going and going... completely smashing the aerobic threshold! These effects are more than likely mediated by the malate portion of the Citrulline Malate compound, which is a Krebs Cycle intermediate.

Powerfull/Cissus/Camph/Mass Pump Stack LOG
Powerfull

Increases Muscle Mass, Sleep Quality, Fat Loss, Recovery And More!

USPlab's Patent Pending Formula of PureSap(TM)(100% Saponis) and specially extracted Saponis from Muira Puama is a new unbelievable supplement. The science behind PureSap(TM) (100% Saponis) and our specially extracted Muira Puama is brand new to the industry. While Saponis and Muria Puama themselves are not new to the industry, we've revolutionized the way they are extracted and prepared. This results in a product with unrivaled quality and potency. The user will notice effects within 2-7 days of use.

The effects of PowerFULL include:

* Increase in Muscle Mass
* Increase in Fat Loss
* Increase in Strength
* Increase in Recovery from Exercise
* Increase in Quality of Sleep
* Increase in Positive Aggression
* Increase in Physical Endurance
* Increase in Sexual Vigor
* Increase in Erection Strength

PowerFULL stacks very well with Cissus RX. Cissus RX is also a natural anabolic, anti-catabolic, and analgesic that strengthens tendons and ligaments. In the supplement or pharmaceutical industry, you will be hard pressed to find a product as effective as Cissus RX void of any undesireable side effects. PowerFULL needs to be taken on an empty stomach 15-30 minutes before eating or exercising. Food will hinder absorption to a great degree.

Cissus(Bulk)

Cissus Quadrangularis has been a staple of traditional Indian medicine for centuries. USPlabs researchers discovered the power of this unique herbal remedy and have now made it available to Western athletes and bodybuilders, or anyone else who wants to strenghthen muscle and bone.

Its unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and steroidal compounds not only build and strengthen muscle and bone, but actually promote and speed the healing process of tendon related injuries, while at the same time soothe the pain of sports related injuries. Common painkillers like aspirin only mask the pain of injured muscles, bones, and tendons and can damage the stomach lining and even cause ulcers. Scientific studies have shown Cissus Quadrangularis actually speeds the healing process and prevents ulcers by strengthening the gastric mucosa, the stomach's protective lining.


Camphibolic

Burn Fat And Preserve Muscle While You Sleep!

USPlabs has ventured into a territory no other supplement company could imagine. Our innovative research teams developed cAMPHIBOLIC, which is the first non-stimulant based thermogenic that's actually works! Beyond cAMPHIBOLIC's thermogenic properties, cAMPHIBOLIC was the first product to halt muscle catabolism that occurs during dieting. USPlabs has tweaked the cAMPHIBOLIC formula into the first NightTime Thermobolic. Yes, A product that will trick the body into using fat for fuel instead of glycogen and protein while increasing thermogenisis at night! cAMPHIBOLIC will shift the ratio of fat to carbohydrate for use as fuel towards fat burning. This helps preserve glycogen and skeletal muscle, which would otherwise be relied upon more heavily for fuel without cAMPHIBOLIC.

By mobilizing fat, will make even more fat available as a fuel source, sparing more glycogen and muscle. The thyroid stimulating effect will further elevate RMR, leading to greater fat burning. By Blocking cortisol will help to preserve muscle tissue as well. An anabolic effect due to increased release of gonadotropins, as well as up regulation cholesterol transport into the testes, where it is converted to testosterone. Finally, a benzodiazepine-like anxiolytic effect that will doubtless promote sleep.

Days 1-4
I tailed the end of my T-X cycle with PowerFull and added in NP's mass stack. Already in four days the powerfull I believe to have started working. Yesterday my workout was rushed due to getting home to watch the Eagles lose, but still a decent shoulder workout. I normally do shoulders with legs but actually got my legs in earlier in the week so I just did a quick shoulder routine. Strength was up a bit and stamina was excellent. Pumps were great as well and seem to last much longer then name brand preworkout drinks I have tried.

Standing Military Press
Bar x 20 (warm up)
95 x 10
135 x 8
140 x 6 (up 5lbs)
145 x 2 (up 10lbs)

Front db Raises
30 x 8
35 x 8

Lateral raises

Not really. Everything was on clearance.

Mass Pump Stack is 19.95
PowerFull i got for $15 when usp was clearing it out
Camphibolic is 17.95 from NP right now

So it's really not that much. I def wouldn't pay full price, well maybe for powerfull now that i can feel it working so soon. Added note on powerfull is the sleep is AWESOME!!

So about $53 for this stack i feel is well worth it, considering people spend $30 on NO-Xplode alone which won't do nearly as much as this stack. To each is their own though....

And the T-X was a sponsored log, so that product was free of charge.

Off day yesterday, but I can def comment on the sleep benefit. I'm sleeping like a baby!! Libido is up as well. Camphibolic should be added today, just have to run to the post office and pick it up due to a misdelivery at my office yesterday. Tonite will be a chest day and I'm expecting it to be a good one!!

Picked up my package, so will be adding in the camph today. Also wanted to quick comment that the pumps i'm getting all day long are nothing short of amazing. I can't say if its due to the powerfull or the mass pump stack or combination, but its great no matter what. If anyone is interested in powerfull, pick it up now as once its gone, it'll be gone for about 6 months as they shift production facilities in india. Yellow Gold will be what they will be pushing in the meantime.

Took first dose of camph about 2 hours ago and now i have a headache which i believe to be related. I've read that forskolin can produce headaches, so i think i will lower dose and ween my way up to a full dose. Took 2 caps to start, will take 1 pre workout and 1 before bed tonite. And continue with 3.day for the next 2-3 days and work my way up to 4-6.

Day 6
Decent chest/trap workout last nite. I did not take any additional camph yesterday other then the two i dosed around lunchtime. I think the headache was unrelated as I tend to get headaches when it rains for some reason(allergies or ETD...haven't figured out if one is causing the other). Slept great as usual and muscles are full pretty much 24hrs a day. Haven't weighed myself in the past few, but will tomorrow morning.

DB Bench Press
45 x 20 (warm up)
70 x 10
80 x 8
80 x 7

Incline BB Bench Press
95 x 10 (warm up)
135x8
155 x 6
165x 6
note: I have somewhat bad shoulders so its hard for me to do inclines. I usually do them on a hammer strength, but yesterday I did them with a barbell.

BB Shrugs
135 x 20
225 x 10
245 x 8
255 x 6.5

Day 7
Off day yesterday. Weighed in this morning at 197, so I'm up 1lb. Muscles are full all day long. Took 1 camph prior to breakfast yesterday and 1 camph prior to dinner. I will again take 2, maybe 3 camph today. No headaches either, so that was prob unrelated. My realistic goal right now is to break 200lbs and have decent strength gains with hopefully some noticable recomposition. I forgot to note but I'm doing about 7-15min of HIIT after my workouts. Eliptical i can go for 15 but the treadmill i start to get shin splints. Continuing to take the mass pump stack as well on both on and off days and still dosing at 3g of each. Not noted either, but i will add to my original post. I'm also using ATW's Optimum Whey, multi vit, fish oil. And dosing 2 g of cissus/day.

Sample diet from yesterday:
Protein shake in skim milk w/oats, pb, bit of honey
banana
bowl of oatmeal
can of chicken
2 turkey breast sandwichs with low fat mozz on whole wheat
small salad
yogurt
pb&j
snacked on some whole grain tortillas
buffalo chicken
rice pilaf
sugar peas
sugar free frozen yogurt
protein shake w/pb
1 cup cottage cheese

Day 8
Back workout yesterday and it felt strong. While weights may not have changed or may not have changed by much, I felt good and could tell a difference. My muscles are pumped all day long which is almost annoying at times. I have not tried anything that has remotely come close to this stack and I can say that with only being 7 days in.

Wide Grip Pull-ups (no weight belt so just bodyweight, not sure what the gym did with it)

197(BW)x12
BWx12
BWx10

I made sure to come fully down and hang for 2-3 seconds in between reps to get a full stretch.

Nautilus Free Weight Lat Pulls
190 x 10
280 x 8
310 x 6

SLDL
135 x 10
185 x 10
225 x 6

note: Lower back is def something i need to work on.

T-bar rows (nautilus free weight machine)
90 x 10
100 x 8

Thanks. The lat pulls are done on this machine, just so you understand what i'm talking about.



And I alternate arms with reps. I seemed to use a little body weight when i pull both down together.

Figured, thats why i clarified. At 310lbs, that would be 155lbs per arm. I feel I can isolate my lat better with individual arm movement rather then both arms toghether. Feels better too afterwards. Still a decent lift IMO for my size. I think my back is one of my stronger points.
