Swede, I agree MAB does great work.

Beltless RDL
135x5
225x5

I will be testing out AAEFX Karbolyn over the next couple of weeks.

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 (BW 232)
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.

Congrats on the PR. Jerks are looking easy.

What are you experiences with beta-alanine?

Thanks. Yes jerks are easier for me than the clean. I had a hard time with a 220 clean when I started but its catching up

I take it as a part of my preworkout stack but I don't notice much but tingling. I am not sure how much it helps for the kind of lifting were doing. The only thing that has had a noticeable effect on performance for me is creatine. The effects of that has also diminished over time. It gave me a huge jump when I first took mono in the early 90s and when I took CEE when it first came out. Since then, I feel a little stronger with it than without. Maybe the old stuff was spiked!

Also great PR Mike, those presses are looking smooth!

[miked96]

Thanks MAB.

Quick update on Karbolyn. I did about an hour and a half or weed eating this morning and decided to throw two scoops (100 g carbs) of the orange flavor with some ice to sip on after I was done. I wish I would have asked for 4 pounds of flavored! Taste is really good and digested really well. I dont feel bloated or sleepy from all the carbs at one time. This may be a solid product to use for people who want to gain weight or on a carb cycling diet. Not just post workout. Very easy way to get 100 grams of Carbs without feeling like crap.

Hope all is well, big guy. Miss reading your stuff.
