I have been running a log on these two products and this is my final review.

OK, I have been off this stack for almost two weeks and wanted to post my final rresults and final thoughts. Before I posted I wanted to take some time off the stack and see how my workouts went to be able to see if the product really was making a difference. Well now that I have been off of this stack I can assure you that it really does work.
FINAL STATS

Final Weight - 224 (
UP 8 Pounds)
Bodyfat: Starting BF - 15.5%
Final BF - 16.5% (
That is a lbm gain of 6 pounds)

Final - 250 (
+25)

+30)
Squats: Starting - 300 x 2
Final - 355 x 2 and I hit a PR of 370 x 1 (
+55 or 70 depending)
These results speak for themselves. I put on 6 solid pounds of muscle and dramatically improved all of my lifts in only one month. Now my diet was solid and I train hard, but this product without a doubt helped me. I have used Kre-alk and Citrulline Malate on their own, but have never experienced gains like this on any product. I really believe the cordyceps works synergistically with both the Kre-Alk and Citrulline Malate, and my strength and recovery between sets was amazing. I felt like I just go stronger as my workout progressed, I just wouldn't get tired.
Strength: The strength gains are incredible
Energy Levels This is what was odd. Entering the gym I never really felt any increased energy, but as I worked out my energy levels increased. If someone is looking for a preworkout energy boost to motivate you to get in the gym, this is not the product, but if you get to the gym on your own energy this product will not let you down.
Aerobic Recovery time: Excellent:
Anerobic Recovery time: These two kind of go hand in hand and I feel that this is what is most impressive about this stack. Your muslces just don't get tired, the just seem to rebound immediately after a brief rest in between sets. Amazing.
Cardio: Definite Improvement: Like the weightlifting you just don't really get tired, and if you do after a short and I mean short break you feel like you have recuperated completely.
Comparison: I have used kre-alk and Citrulline Malate in the past, they are pretty much staples for me. These products beat my bulk powders hands down.
Immune Function: This really agitated me, I was never sick until the very end and this was attributable to my swimming in a very polluted river. I have been suspectible to ear infections as a child and I went water skiing on the Ohio river. Well, I got an ear infection the last couple of days of my log and it really took me out.
Pump: Good, felt my skin really tight, not inlfated like NO products, but like my muscle bellies were inflammed. Very solid.
Side Effects: Other than great lean body mass gains and dramatically improved lifts, none at all.
This product has me impressd. I feel like it is a little expensive If purchased seperately but I was informed by Matt that both products bought together as a stack can be had at $60. This is a great deal for such an effective product. I would recommend this stack to anyone.
