LG I-GH-1 REVIEW (Legal Gear or LG Science)

I-GH-1™ may help you achieve the major goal of losing fat while gaining muscle. GH is the secret anabolic used by many to increase performance or stack with other hormones. The most useful of all hormones, GH can be stacked with a thermogenic to increase fat loss or an anabolic like Methyl 1-D™ to increase size and strength.

GH is released during a workout or during sleep. Our proprietary GH Secretagogue is the most advanced formulation on the market and may help you achieve your body transformation goals.

*product efficacy is dependent on proper diet and excercise

Comments-That is off there website, i used this at 2x4 caps per day. I have not noticed any change at all at this stage, maybe a slight increase in training weights.
I have also stacked this with LG Methyl 1-D 18 months ago (the US one) and as that is a pro-hormone doubt that it helped any as well.

AST DYMETRADINE XTREME

Review time.
I have started using this at 3 caps 20 minutes before training. I left the bottle at work so cant tell you exactly what is in it until next time.
What i noticed during my workouts is the thermogenic effect in other words i sweated during the workout unlike anything i have taken before. It does not give you skin bursting pumps nor does it claim to but over the last week i have endured a more volume plus weight approach to the iron to maybe up the mass. For that reason i realy think it ups the workload and intensity i am able to raise up and get through these workouts. For instance my last back workout (look up my training log). I doubt i could do that workout without these. But i am a skeptical bugger to, so this week i will do the same back workout without any training supps.
I have also finished the Xtreme Formulations products. I am going to miss them, i got quite used to the taste of these and unlike some other products i have used where i thought "ohh is that the last packet"? They will be missed. I compare these up there with the best i've had.

SUPPLEMENT REVIEW AST VP2 chocolate and vanilla

Taste 3 STARS
Mixability 5 STARS
Digestability 4 stars

Comments-Both these flavours are quite tasteless. They would be excellent for adding to cooking. The flavours i am guessing are for chocolate probably cocoa so are very natural. They dont taste artifiical. The website has limited nutritional information on there. I would need the tub to get what i need to properly view the contents. I would like to see the ratios of cheaper to more expensive proteins contained in the mix. The site says "pure whey isolate peptide" and also contains Glutamine. We need to know these ratios when making a informed decision. You wouldnt like to be tricked out of buying a XR6 Turbo for just a XR6!! This applys to all protein manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Where does whey protein come from?
A. "Whey" is the name given to the watery part of milk that remains after making cheese. Whey is, in fact, a byproduct of cheese manufacturing that is rich in lactose, vitamins, minerals, and whey protein.

Dairy "whey protein" is composed of several different protein fractions that include: alpha-lactalbumin, beta-lactoglobulin, bovine serum albumin, glycomacropeptides, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and the proteose peptones. Each one is nutrient-rich and essential in its own way, yet it is the combination of all these fractions that gives whey protein the nutritious and health promoting value.

Q. Does Pure Whey Protein Stack contain any lactose? If so, how much?
A. Yes. Pure Whey Protein Stack contains whey protein concentrate, and whey protein concentrates do contain a level of lactose. Therefore, there is some lactose present. This averages about 1.5g per serving depending on the flavor. For comparison purposes one 8 oz. glass of skim milk contains 14g of lactose and 8g of protein.

Taste 3 STARS
Mixability 3.5 STARS
Digestability 4 STARS

Comments-The first one i mixed up, didnt mix to well almost like Milo but no large clumps or anything. Info- I mix everything in the same Shaker Bottle which has a wire whisk. I also have 2 Tupperware shakers and rate these highly. These newer on the market Shaker Bottles are the way to go if you dont have a blender. I have one (well half a one as i dropped the jug and glass doesnt bounce) as well but i have been using the one shaker in all my reviews as we dont all have one. Cheapest i have seen The Shaker is $5.50 from ADA st supps in Brisbane. I have 2 and recomend 2 or even 3 to anyone that is on the go.
Now back to the review. I dont realy like the taste of this one very much, i dont hate it just not my cuppa tea. It has its own unique taste so is hard to compare. Now to what the ingredients say. Sometimes a products taste and mixability can be because of whats in it. You cant get a protein powder (i dont think) to taste fantastic when it contains MCT oils, CLA, Flaxseed and Borage oil. We all know we need EFA's in our diet but whether we need them in our protein drinks is another thing. If you take cost per serve into account it may be more convienent. This one also has natural flavours. Here are the supp facts. The outright performance of this product ingredient wise may be the new number one.

This is the ultimate lean gainer you‘ve been waiting for! PVL Mutant Mass is a serious formula, designed with only hard working athletes in mind, who demand power, absolute size and all out strength. If you are serious about gaining slabs of lean muscle mass, faster than ever, then PVL Mutant Mass is the one for you!

Comments-A aquired taste this one, i have had it before and didnt like it. I could feel the effects of the Beta-Alanine or Arginine with the prickly type of heat i had with the Morph. I have had a week almost of pre-workout drinks. I did chest today and i am doing 6x6 program 3rd week in and have not been able to get a decent pump while doing this. So had only a mild increase in pump and some vascularity. Maybe on a higher rep workout i can get a decent pump. I had a virus last week and this was my first day back after 5 days off. I am lethargic but still got through my 6x6 program and only missed a couple of sets but got the goal in increased weights.
My sample pack has 30,000 mg proprietary blend and the US one states caffeine as a ingredient but its not on my pack.

Comments-This is the best tasting shake i have had to date. But, it goes straight through me. the old lactose intolerance showed up on this one. I have not had one single lactose problem. I knew it was on the label and wont hold that against BSC. I can drink it before bed and have no probs. Being lactose intolerant can be very irritating at time but like lifes challanges we get around it. I am drinking one right now. Contains WPI isolate and Dextrose. Has a good spectrum of everything else.

SUPPLEMENT REVIEW MYOCYTIN LEMON LIME

Taste 5 STARS
Mixability 5 STARS
Digestability 5 STARS
Comments-This tastes like cordial and goes down very well after training, i have included some scientific research that you will be interested in.
I will see if i have any extra in the fuel tank for gym toomorow as i am doing some triples on the bench.

University Proven. Superior to Standard Creatine:
Energy // Lean Muscle Gain // Weight Gain // Athletic Performance // Recovery

Independent scientific research has shown Myocytin to be superior to standard creatine (Rogerson and co-workers, 2003). In fact after only six days of supplementation with Myocytin athletes increased their performance on a strength based performance test significantly more than athletes taking regular creatine. Likewise, athletes using Myocytin gained over twice as much body mass (minimum 5kg) v’s standard creatine and increased their upper arm girth by over 200% more than standard creatine. (Results of this study were presented at the prestigious 2003 Australian Conference of Science and Medicine in Sport).

In an independant university research study, every single athlete using Myocytin increased their bench press performance, upper arm girth and body mass.

Results also suggest that an athlete ingesting Myocytin has a higher likelihood of experiencing gains in body mass and athletic performance than an athlete ingesting standard Creatine.
Helps improve maximal power/strength, work performed during sets of maximal effort muscle contractions, single-effort sprint performance and work performed during repetitive sprint performance.
Myocytin was not associated with muscle cramping, which is a common complaint amongst athletes ingesting Creatine.

Tribulus Terrestris fruit & root 2500mg (equivalent saponins to 60%), Trifolium pratense (Red Clover) 2500mg, Dioscorea opposita (wild yam) tuber 625mg No added salt, wheat, yeast, gluten, starch, corn, milk derivatives, flavours or sweeteners

$71.50 for 90 caps $3.17 per day

Overall comments-With the other product Body Science has with Tribulus i was on 17.5g per day of Tribulus. As i only had enough product for 4 weeks it was probably 4 weeks short of a Tribulus cycle as such. While i have had success with the product it is a combination of all the Body Science supplements i have. It is impossible to say that either one product is better than another but protein powders by them selfs will not and are not designed to be high performance. The Tribulus products i feel have assisted me in the weights room. I have Personal Bested on all of the big lifts, being on a strength program will achieve this anyway but with continued training over a prolonged period it is hard to keep doing PB's. I feel the Tribulus does have a performance gain and every little bit helps.

Taste 5 STARS
Mixability 5 STARS
Digestability 5 STARS
Protein Type- 94% Blend, Whey Protein Isolate, Ionised Whey Protein Isolate, Hydrolysed Whey Protein Isolate,
Other Goodies- Brindle Berry (hydroxy citric acid) Phaseulus Vulgaris, Amino acids Glutamine and Taurine
Cost Per Serve-$2.59 or $64.95 1KG and 3KG would be cheaper per serve and that is retail.

Comments- I am starting to favour the cocoa flavoured products, as it's natural flavouring. I have also changed for this review for the first time that i have already finished this product (1KG) My last impression is the same as my first, i love it. It didnt take long to finish at 3 shakes a day but it was most enjoyable.

SUPPLEMENT REVIEW BLACK WIDOW GROWTH MUSCLE BUILDER 300G

GOODIES- Arginine, Lysine, Glutamine, Glycine.
Price-$34.95 i found when googled.

1 Teaspoon mixed with water, i chose my Hydroxy Whey for this so 3 teaspoons a day. The recommended dose is 1 Teaspoon a day. I recognize the importance of amino acids and certain amino acids during peak training. I also want to start the recovery process as soon as possible. Due to my demanding training i take the higher doses with shakes.

Comments-Above pretty well sums it up, i have used approx 100 grams so far. I am having good recovery and very little muscle soreness but too early to tell. Will be doing another review when i have finished all the product off.

SUPPLEMENT REVIEW REDBAK PROTEIN STACK Deadly Chocolate.

Taste 4 STARS
Mixability 5 STARS
Digestability 5 STARS
Protein Source-Like the other one it is a protein blend of WPI, WPC, HWPI, Caseinate. No percentages are on the labels as with most companys.
Other Goodies-Creatine, Glutamine, Colostrum, BCAA's, MCT's
Price Per Serve-$5.59-$3.38 depending on size 500g and 3kg.

General Comments- This one look to be a solid product, once again it ticks the boxes and contains heaps of different benefical ingredients. The main difference with these 2 products is the carbs. The Growth Stack contains dextrose and glucose. There is more protein in the Protein Stack. I have a total of about 17 serves, so will only go 6 days and i am halfway through now. I am also combining the Black Widow Growth Muscle Builder (1 teaspoon) for the extra shot of BCAA's. I will post up all the nutritional information in my final Redbak/Black Widow reviews.

Supplement review. I need to get back on track.
Over the last few weeks i have been taking 3 Bioflex products, Redbak/Black Widow, Gaspari Super Pump, Epic 8 Beta Anabol, Endorphix, 4-Nitro Tropic and Body Well First Order. It has been hit and miss with some of these as my timing has been off and workouts and schedules not working out. Each of these products will get a full review. I owe it to some of my bigger suporters to do there products on there own or stack them and see. From Wednesday i will be doing all the BioFlex products until i run out of Protein powder's. Then i will be doing BSC Body Science.
Todays review is Body Well First Order, sort of jumped the cue but i have only 2 samples. The samples come in a small clear plastic shaker with 3 flavours inside. Each one is taken pre, during and post workout. Each is the same in ratio and ingredients.

Taste 4.5 STARS
Mixability 4.5 STARS
Digestability 5 STARS
PUMP 4.5 STARS
Vascularity 4.5 STARS
Intensity 4 STARS
Strength 4 STARS
Endurance 4 STARS
Recovery 4 STARS

General comments For what its worth this 4 gram packet delivers where alot of others fail too. The star ratings in my view are just. I have had the flu, bed ridden for 3 days and symptoms for 7 days. Still lethargic after 9 days. I would usually drop my strength and enduance considerably after this. I got a great workout under the circumstances today. The product was noticable within 15 minutes with the beta-alanine kicking in. My chest and shoulders had road maps with new veins everywhere. Some of these i have never seen before and i know i am at 16.5% BF. The pump was great and fatigue didnt come in until i had hit 45 minutes into the workout and then i was spent. Now i have lost 2.5kg from the flu, but this was no cut up as i had a insaitable sweet tooth while sick. Most of the pre-workout drinks are not in this range. Some drinks i would have to have 2 scoops and not be this good. This though was as good as the Isatori Morph tabs without the itch prickly heat rash i had. These were tabs though and potent and is still the benchmark until something better comes up. The below info is from Bulk Nutrition. Cost per serve i have not been able to workout as i cant find the product listed in Aus. $1.33US was the price in the US. Ryan from Elite Body is down as a stockist though.

Reduces mental fatigue and improves concentration
Improves memory and focus
Body

Buffers lactic acid allowing you to work out longer and harder

Who should take First Order?
First Order is for anyone interested in gaining lean body mass, increasing exercise performance and achieving greater gains in fitness. It is also for those who have reached a training plateau and want to break through it! Bodywell Nutrition has developed the premier pre-, during, and post-workout supplement that is guaranteed to tremendously enhance your workouts.

How to take First Order

Before Exercise – By supplying your body with First Order™, you’ll get an immediate boost in exercise performance from the Rhodiola rosea, a potent adaptogenic herb. Also, with alpha-GPC you can support growth hormone (GH) levels. Higher GH levels could translate into less fat and more muscle!

During Exercise – With alpha-GPC, a truly multi-talented ingredient, gingko biloba and phosphatidylserine, you’ll be able to maintain that pinpoint, clear focus that you need while doing that last lap around the track, that last rep of the last set, or that last mile of a marathon race. This added mental focus will help you perform your best.

Post Exercise – Now that your training or competition is done, your muscles are truly primed to take up nutrients. With beta-alanine, you’ll be able to fight the fatigue-causing effects of acid build-up. So next time you hit the gym, the running trails or participate in your favorite sport, you’ll be able to both physically and mentally play, train, and performance harder, better, and longer!
