Thoroughly impressed by AI's Glycobol!

[RxAJ]

Vascularity

As early on as day 2 a definite, and significant, increase in vascularity was noticeable. The most profound results seemed to occur about an hour after taking the two cap dose, and for me, lasted the better portion of the day (results may differ based on when you take it and when you eat).

Muscle Fullness/Hardness

This as well was noticeable as early on as day 2. Glycobol brought on a round the clock increase in muscle fullness that had me checking my reflection twice to make sure it was really me I was seeing. Pretty unbelievable.

Strength

Ok, here's the one most people are probably wondering about, and let me tell ya, Glycobol delivers big time. Personal records are something I'm very used to in the gym, I have a routine that works perfectly for me and strive to increase in either weight, reps, or both every workout. But there is a steady pace at which this occurs for me, a predictable curve really, and the charts spiked on this stuff! Every workout exceeded my expectations. This happened on a diet designed for recomping, not for gaining strength, and yet I was still able to move more weight then I predicted for myself. Can't ask for much more then loosing weight and gaining strength at the same time.

Recovery

Honestly, I'm never really that sore after a workout, except for leg days, and that didn't change at all. I will however say that my recovery in the gym was without a doubt improved. I constantly surpassed whatever rep goal I had in mind for almost every lift, every time. Just felt like I could never reach the point of complete exhaustion.

Fat Loss

As I touched on, I did loose weight during the four weeks, but i didn't follow any sort of cutting diet. My goal for the four weeks was to slowly and steadily peel away some body fat while at least maintaining my muscle mass, but preferable gaining some. I went from ~180lbs to ~172lbs, and from ~13% body fat to ~9%. Those are stats I'm more then pleased with given that I'm stronger at 172lbs then I was at 180. Again, this happened on a diet not specifically geared for cutting, so someone who is going that route may experience even better results.

In The Gym Pumps

In a word; ridiculous. So much fun

Side Effects

I definitely experienced an increase in my number of bowel movements per day. No idea if this is related to any single ingredient or the product as a whole. Hey, it's a sign of increased protein synthesis though, or at least the product of it, so I'll deal with it.

Dosing Protocol
- 2 caps with my first meal of the day: About 100g of carbs from whole grain bread, oats, and fruit.
- 2 caps with a meal about 7 hours later: Usually 60-80g of carbs from vegetables and noodles of some kind.
I did not take Glycobol with my preworkout meal as I lift only about 3 hours after breakfast, and I wanted to take one of the doses with breakfast. So I spaced the dosages out, taking one in the AM and one in the PM everyday.

Conclusion
Glycobol fits in well anywhere; whether your cutting, bulking, or recomping like me, it will accelerate your progress ten fold. Like I said, I'm stronger now at 172lbs then I was at 180lbs. My arms also hit an all time high of 15 1/4 inches today at a lesser body weight then prior to starting this stuff....I can't get over that. Any product that can defy the laws of nature like that gets my support. Anabolic Innovations releases a lot of products true to their name and the quality always seems to be superb. This stuff flat out works, and it works well, so i went ahead and got a second bottle ready to go for another 4 weeks....I'm just not ready to get off this ride yet! The best $42 I ever spent on supplements.

[macstuff101]

Ive read alot but i still dont understand what these products do exactly?

[Jaberwaki]

Thank you very much for this outstanding review!
Glad you liked it man!

[Twin Towers]

This product is legit.......thanks so much for the mention

[jorgemontenegro]

thanks for the review. how did you dose it and with what amount of carbs? have you ever tried anything similar like anabolic pump? if so, what were your results with that?
i am asking because i was thoroughly unimpressed by anabolic pump and saw this new product and thought it might be another let down for me.

I ran one bottle of Anabolic Pump probably almost a year ago, whenever the planet had that big sale on it, and I chalked myself up to pretty much being a non-responder. It did give me some fairly decent pumps in the gym and increased muscle fullness throughout the day, but nothing really in terms of body recomposition. Seems that product is pretty hit or miss with people. Glycobol, however, delivered for me.

[cobfab12]

repped for great review, need to get me some - in my 10th week of cutting and i need something to pump me up. looking flat as hell, question is i only get carbs morning (30g) and preworkout (60g) is that enough carbs to be effective?

Yes that is enough if you are cutting. 25-50 per serving is what the directions call for. So you should be golden.

[cobfab12]

wicked, going to buy some soon, too bad BB hasnt picked it up yet

[user903890348904]

Im picking up a couple of bottles..

Ive been taking K-ALA of late, before meals of maybe 30-40g of carbs and my strength is going to all time highs, basically like when i was 96kgs and 15% BF.. now im about 86kgs around 11%.. Im leaning out quite nice.. no changes in diet or any cardio..

So im expecting nice results from this product, can't wait

[gymrat53]

When is bb.com picking this stuff up I'm getting impatient I have trouble holding onto money.

[Jeebus987]

THIS IS MADNESS.

I think the fat loss results that people are getting without any cardio or change in diet is compable to taking a fat loss product. Not to mention the other goodies involved.

Glycobol is 100% natural and safe right? Doesn't effect hormones/damage the body?

[CROWLER]

Good news Glycobol has been delivered to all of the BB.com warehouses so should be up for sale in a week or so I would guess.

Jeebus, Glycobol does not require any support supps. It also doesn't need any PCT. The ingredients are actually very healthy for you besides being a great muscle gainer and fat loss product.

[Andrew732]

It will be there sooner than one knows it, great product for recomp and overall goals, safe at a recommended dosage, great for anyone who has type-2 diabetes.

[Amino89]

Very impressive review, sounds like you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to review Glycobol!

[luckyali]

25-50 servings is more than enough for anyone, It should be golden like you mentioned.

That's really cool to hear that Glycobol worked out well for you!
Thanks for the review. I'm going to add it to our review/log thread.

[AndrewChan]

Ive read alot but i still dont understand what these products do exactly?

i think this is a nutrient partitioner, similar to USP Labs P-Slin

Thanks for bumping that post Andrew, I missed Mac's post somehow.

Macstuff, have you read our write up for Glycobol? It's probably the best way to describe Glycobol in depth.

Glycobol works, not like typical muscle gainers, but primarily by it?s ability to mimic and boost insulin. On it?s own, insulin is a powerful growth peptide, but it also plays a critical role in the action of androgens. Just like insulin, androgens are another fundamental class of endocrine hormones. Studies show that androgens fail to sustain a positive muscle nitrogen balance in the absence of insulin, emphasizing the critical role of insulin as a potential limiting factor to the anabolic capacity of androgens. Therefore, Glycobol could be combined with any of the commercially available androgens to optimize and exaggerate gains by it?s essential synergistic contribution.

Insulin also interacts synergistically with GH, IGF and thyroid hormones to compound growth effects, even when these endocrine co-factors are only present at average physiological levels. Therefore, Glycobol can be used to achieve impressive natural muscle gains and body recomposition as an effective stand-alone agent too.

You asked for something Innovative, now you?ve got it!

Glycobol Blend:

Sodium R-Lipoate (Na-r-ALA)
ALA is naturally produced in the body as a mitochondrial enzyme cofactor. It is important to aerobic metabolism. ALA has been shown to increase cellular uptake of glucose to cell membranes by recruiting the glucose transporter GLUT4. ALA improves skeletal muscle glucose transport, resulting in desirable blood glucose disposal and increased muscle glycogen concentrations. (1) Studies also indicate that in muscle, ALA is a potent anti-oxidant which protects cells from oxidative stress-induced insulin resistance. (2) The ALA used in this formula is chemically stabilized and of the highest quality. It?s the most active isomer and the highest potency salt commercially available. ALA is an invaluable addition that offers a multitude of benefits plus countless extras for any serious athlete.

Bottom Line: Best way to describe this effect is that it almost adds a filter to the muscle fibers; Taking in what it needs to prepare for growth.

Trigonella Seed isolate (standardized to 10% 4-hydroxyisoleucine)
Fenugreek has been successfully applied for thousands of years to improve health. It corrects blood sugar problems and improves cholesterol scores. Modern research also shows that it improves endurance and lowers blood lactate concentrations dramatically. Treatment with fenugreek seed can also significantly decreases fat accumulation. These results suggest that this improvement in endurance and reduction in body fat is caused by an increase in the utilization of fatty acids as an energy source. (3) Fenugreek supplements high in 4-HIL have also been demonstrated to increase post-exercise glycogen resynthesis in athletes, which promotes rapid recovery and helps prevent training fatigue. (4) The visible results of this glycogenic effect are big, pumped muscles that look extremely full and vascular.

Bottom Line: Helps you use fatty acids as an energy source, rather than store them as Fat!

Phellodendron extract (standardized to 90% berberine)
Phellodendron is one of the highly valued traditional Chinese herbs, used medicinally to treat a variety of health conditions. It is reported that some subjects show improved strength, lower blood pressure, and lower blood sugar in response to Phellodendron isolates. Laboratory studies suggest that one of these alkaloidal isolates called berberine may accomplish these benefits by enhancing insulin production. (5) There are also many studies that suggest berberine can reduce total serum cholesterol, dangerous LDL-cholesterol, and unhealthy triglycerides, which would obviously contribute greatly to increased athletic performance and good over-all health. (6) Improved health and increased physical performance translates into greater strength and muscle gains in the gym.

Bottom Line: Increased performance translates into greater strength and muscle gains.

Cinnamon Bark 20:1 extract (standardized for 16% flavonoids)
Cinnamon is a common spice used all over the world, but it?s not commonly known that the spice has significant therapeutic value. Cinnamon contains the element chromium, which is needed for proper glucose metabolism, and also compounds called flavonoids. Flavinoids are potent anti-oxidants which are known to provide protection against cancer and heart disease. The specific flavonoids found in cinnamon bark are shown to stimulate glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis similar to insulin. These flavonoids may activate receptors by direct insulin mimicking action, or indirect insulin potentiation, or both. (7) Studies also show that cinnamon improves lipid profiles for some subjects. (8) If you train consistently and have a healthy diet, your big muscular improvements from this powerful little cinnamon extract might surprise you.

Bottom Line: Insulin is very anabolic, so the insulin boosting action of cinnamon extract will be bigger, stronger muscles.

Bis(Maltolato)Oxovanadium (BMOV)
BMOV is an organic form of the mineral vanadium. Although elemental vanadium and inorganic salts of vanadium show significant biological potential, it has a poor therapeutic index due to low gastrointestinal absorbance. BMOV is recognized as safer, more absorbable, and able to deliver a therapeutic effect up to 50% greater than the inorganic forms. (9) Vanadium is one of the rare microelements that can promote a profound boost in endurance and strongly support anabolism. BMOV can give muscles a hardness like you have never experience before. The form of vanadium used in this formula is one of the very best you can find, if not the best.

*Bottom Line: Makes your Muscle harder than ever, increases vascularity!

Guys, there are several people on bb.com that take writing logs and reviews seriously. As a general rule people value your opinion more if you make your message clear, well put together and easy to read.
It is simply a well writen 3rd party review. If you check the supliment log section you will find SEVERAL.

[mjwarburton]

Great review. Repped for cleanliness of review, my favorite kind. I will check this out when I cycle of stims/pre W/O, to keep pumps.

[RxAJ]

So I'm in week 5 of Glycobol now and everything is continuing to go very well. I changed the dosing schedule up a bit for this second bottle so now I'm taking one cap with breakfast, another 2 hours later with my pre-workout meal, and the remaining two caps 3 hours later with my post-workout meal. Can't tell at this point if it's working better like this or the same as before, but it's definitely still working.

....so anyway, I hit the gym around 2:00pm today for some dead lifting and hit a long time goal of 420lbs, weighing in at 173.4lbs after my workout. I'm very pleased!
