View Full Version : The Alcalean and vasoXplode Experiment

My new experiment was spawned by my hero and mentor, Jim Stoppani, PhD, Science Editor for Muscle & Fitness and FLEX magazines. He is HUGE on ALCAR intake and has been researching Carnitine intake and insulin. It turns out that Carnitine intake into the muscle is dependent on insulin, something Chuck has been saying for a long time. His recommendation is the following:

Pre and Post Workout

3 grams Alcalean
600mg Pure ALA
Fast Carbs (weight and bodytype dependent)
20-40g Substance WPI
2 scoops Xtend


I have modified this to fit Scivation's diet theories to stay lean and gain mass. Here is what I will do:

Pre Workout

1 serving vasoXplode
20g Substance WPI
4 scoops Xtend


Post Workout

3 grams Alcalean
600mg Pure ALA
20g Substance WPI
4 scoops Xtend

This gives me a whopping dose of ALCAR and the BCAA and whey will cause a nice, accute insulin response rather than a biphasic response as elicited by fast carbs. I feel that this will help enhance the uptake of the Carnitine and help me stay leaner than if I were to have carbs.

My schedule will be full of travel and ROUGH, but here is my diet. I will be living on SLUDGE! I will call this the "SLUDGE DIET".

Meal 1: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, 1 scoop Xtend
PREWORKOUT: 4 scoops Xtend, 1 scoop Substance WPI, 1 serving vasoXplode
POST WORKOUT: 4 scoops Xtend, 1 scoop Substance WPI, 600mg Alcalean, 600mg Pure ALA
Meal 2: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, 1 scoop Xtend
Meal 3: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, Green Beans, 1 scoop Xtend
Meal 4: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, 1 scoop Xtend
Meal 5: 4oz Chicken, 2 whole eggs, Green Beans, 1 scoop Xtend
Meal 6: 2 scoops Substance WPI, 10g Glutaform, 20g Peanut Butter, 1 scoop Xtend

The peanut butter can be substituted for Enova Oil or Almonds for equal fat amounts.

I will update daily. My weight this morning is post-gluttony, so it was 196 of mostly water. Here is my pic from last Thursday:

I will update this very often with pics. Time to rock!

Today went well. I did chest with Katie at the gym and got a very sick pump--I loved it! We also hit some shoulders and some triceps and did tons of volume--that's just how we roll! I also performed 45 minutes of LI Cardio upon waking. My diet went as planned with Lowfat Turkey Sausage and Green Beans as my dinner.

So far, so good.

My weight is stabilizing and the ALCAR experiment seems to be going well. My pumps have been consistently INSANE with vasoXplode and I am also eating only 1-2 solid food meals per day--the rest comes from Sludge.

I have never been this consistently vascular, and the good news is that we are constantly producing vasoXplode so I am having small sips throughout the day just for QC purposes!

I travel a lot for work as well and it's a bitch to eat correct.

vasoXplode looks like one of the best new products on the market. I am going to have to give it a shot soon.

could someone please explain what vasoXplode / AlcaLean is? possibly a link to a product page or so? I never heard for those products before.

thanks

I have been traveling insanely, so updates have been few and far between.

I have been keeping with this little experiment and whatever I am doing is working. I am bigger, stronger and leaner than before I started.

I hope to have pics soon....when I get back home!

I weighed in at 201 this morning. I am starting to wonder about vasoXplode and this ALCAR stack. This and Dialene are the only REAL changes I have made, and I was already taking creatine so it is not creatine weight gain.

I have gained 8 pounds of what appears to be LBM in the last two weeks?
