Advanced Muscle Fatigue Toxin Reducer!
Gakic is the biggest bodybuilding breakthrough ever! New to bodybuilders, athletes, and sports enthusiasts, Gakic, chemically known as glycine-l-arginine-alpha-ketoisocaproic acid has been in development for 8 years. That's 8 years of research, testing, clinical studies, and refinement. Why 8 years? Well, we all know that greatness takes time. A great mind takes years to develop, a great physique takes years to build, and a great supplement should be no different. The game has changed, the rules may have to be altered, performance might have to be redefined, your success however, is imminent. Gakic has officially arrived.
Gakic is the biggest bodybuilding breakthrough ever!
It's not like creatine, it's not a stimulant, and it's definitely not your generic pre-workout supplement. Gakic is a patented pre-workout musclebuilding supplement that is unlike anything you've ever seen or tried before! Gakic has already created a buzz in an industry starved for muscle building supplements that are backed by real science. The good news is that there's a whole heap of science to support Gakic. This includes the gold-standard of scientific studies that have actually been published in well-respected publications such as Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. And guess what? These studies show the one thing that separates Gakic from the countless sports supplements released every year: Gakic really works!
In fact, in one study, Gakic supplementation significantly increased the total muscle work performed during intense sets of resistance training by an average of 10.5 percent during the first 15 minutes. In the same study, Gakic supplementation was shown to significantly increase fatigue resistance by up to an average of 28 percent when compared with the placebo. Bottom line: You'll train harder, train longer, and get bigger.
To get bigger, you have to pass new barriers by blasting through your body's normal fatigue threshold, also known as "failure". After years of scientific scrutiny, researchers believe that one of the key mechanisms responsible for the performance-enhancing effects of Gakic is the removal of the fatigue toxin ammonia, which can interfere with normal muscle metabolism and generally limit muscular power output. With decreased fatigue toxin levels, you can perform more work. This can eventually translate into better muscular gains as your training intensity and strength improve over time.
Simply put, Gakic is designed to help your body deal with metabolic fatigue, the by-products lactic acid and ammonia, and thus delay the moment of failure - helping you get 1, 2, or even 3 more reps in, allowing you to get more explosive performance in just minutes. That's what Gakic can do for you. And that's why it's so revolutionary. Once you train with Gakic, you'll never want to train without it.
Endurance/Anti-Fatigue - 10/10
Honestly, I went into using this (2 months ago) with a pretty strong dislike towards MT. Their claims are sometimes very outlandish and some of their products are overpriced beyond belief. So lets just say I was Skeptical about these claims...
Well, Gakic Lived up to and exceeded just about all the claims made by MT. The anti-fatigue properties of Gakic are very apparent from the first dose. During my first workout with Gakic, although I didn't "feel" stronger per-say, I found I could push my body to a new level. It was as if my mind was telling me it was time to put down the weight, but my muscles still wanted more. I noticed the mental aspect of "pushing" at the end of the set even more important with it, as I would always be able to get more reps than usual.
This also helped with recovery in-between sets. I cut down on rest periods and kept the intensity high. Pretty cool.
Strength
I was cutting while using this, so strength gains weren't huge, but there were still some nice PR's. Incline DB's got up to 75X6 on a cut and Deadlifts SHOT up to 315X3. I attribute a large part of my strength holding up while cutting to the Gakic.
Other
Just some other notes:
I know this isn't a stimulant or energizer, but it seems like I was getting great "drive" throughout my workouts. I found that taking this before my pre-WO meal (which is 60 min Pre) was a good way to dose it and helped with this effect.
I definitely think this aided in muscle retention on my cut. I don't have measurements etc..., but I lost 5 pounds during the month, with an inch drop in my waist, and very little other changes. My lower abs even started to peek out.
Price - 7/10 Overall - 9/10
Well, it is expensive. The thing I find amazing however, is peoples willingness to shell out money for supplements that barely work or have no data proving they work and then passing on MT because "they are too expensive". Heck, even I was like that. The thing is, I would rather pay 57 dollars for this and have it live up to its claims, than pay 30 dollars for something that does jack s***, or very little.
I will be buying this again, as it is one of the most effective supplements I have used.
