I will be testing out AAEFX Karbolyn over the next couple of weeks. I am 38 years old and recently switched over to Olympic lifting two months ago from power lifting. I am 230 pounds and my best lifts are a 560 squat, 410 bench, 610 dead lift, 226 power snatch, and a 286 Clean and Jerk.
Training:
Tue:Clean and Jerk to max, Clean pulls 3x3, RDLs
Thurs:Snatch to max, Snatch Pulls 3x3, Back Squat
Sat:Snatch and C&J to max, Jerk from boxes, Front squat
Sun:Power Clean
All sessions except Sunday take two to three hours to complete.
I also run twice a week.
Use:
I am going one scoop flavored to sip on during workouts and one scoop mixed with protein powder after. I may buy some extra to take with a shake sometime during the day in the future.
Expectations:
I have been taking supplements since the eighties. From Cybergenics to Joe Weiders Crash Weight gain, I have tried it. I believe in a few basic supplements and I have always tried to take carbs around my workouts simply because I feel better after. I have tried Waxy Maize, Dextrose, and Vitagro in the past and want a carb powder that is easy to digest. If it keep my energy levels up during my workouts and helps me keep my weight up then its a keeper.
Day 1
I got my powder in today and took one scoop mixed with protein powder. The powder mixes very easily and left no clumps. It was easy to drink and I am suffering no stomach discomfort or bloating. Nothing else to report but thank you AAEFX for giving me a chance to test this out.
