Only my second day so I can't say how well this is going to work out for recovery and what not, but I am enjoying the little boost from the caffeine and it has awesome flavor.

Ok time to get caught up here, I do personal training on the side and have a full time job . So with the new year here I'm a little busy with new clients and what not, I am getting my workouts in and taking the supplements as directed, so no worries I'm here!

Since day one of starting the Test Revolution dosed at 3 caps twice a day my sleep has been the best it's been in a few weeks. Deep, less tossing and turning, waking up well rested and starting to feel a bit more aggressive. Nice to see this is kicking in with it only being about a week in. I am dosing 3 caps AM, then one scoop Fight Revolution (this has the DAA in it) mixed with one scoop Lean Preworkout Revolution about 30 minutes preworkout, then 3 caps Test Revolution prior to bed.

This combination for the preworkout has been working out just fine, I did go to one heaping scoop full which is recommended on the label.

As for the BCAA NRG Rev I am taking 2 servings daily (one level scoop each) One scoop in the AM during morning cardio and another scoop intra workout. Recovery has slightly improved so thats a good sign things are working like they are supposed to.

Mix-ability with the Fight Revolution, Lean Preworkout Revolution and BCAA NRG Rev is excellent. No clumping, no foaming what so ever (using a blender ball shaker) and not really many floaties. Taste with all three is good, no nasty after taste. Actually today I was pressed for time and mixed the Fight Revolution Sour Apple with my EFX Pro Whey. I was thinking it was gonna be totally nasty and have to choke it down, but to my surprise it was awesome!

Good feedback Ripper.

You been thinking about competing any time soon again?

[rippednmichigan]

Man I think about it EVERY day! I really want to redeem myself and be the best I can be. Today I am actually taking my diet and training to a new level and treating it as a 16 week contest prep. This will put me right the time we leave for our cruise in May. We will see where I end up and how bad the cruise messes me up lol

By the way BTB that video is the one you asked me for like a month or so ago I just got around to making it for you, sorry.

No problemo.

So far so good, energy seems to be up even though I've dropped calories and adjusted my diet. I'm shooting for a good 16 week contest prep style since that will put me right at the time the wifie and I go on our cruise So energy is up, aggression is creeping upwards also as well as some very minor acne on chest and shoulders. Going to be keeping the dosing on all supps the same for now (if it ain't broke don't fix it)

Dosing is: Test Revolution 3 caps AM, then one scoop Fight Revolution (this has the DAA in it) mixed with one scoop Lean Preworkout Revolution about 30 minutes preworkout, then 3 caps Test Revolution prior to bed.

Night before last I didn't sleep very well, felt like I was awake all night. When I got up at 4:30am to hit the treadmill before work I felt well rested though and ready to go. Still had good energy all day. Slept fine last night though so probably just an off night.

Recovery has improved but still have slight DOMS in my chest and tri's from a couple days ago, but definitely seems reduced. It also seems like you get a slight boost as the workout progresses from sipping on the BCAA NRG Rev.
