EricTheRed's MAN Blueprint and Orotine Log!!!

[EricTheRed]

Blueprint™ features the ingredient Agmatine. As a metabolic byproduct of Arginine, Agmatine goes beyond Arginine and works its wonders by stimulating the release of pituitary hormones such as Leutinizing Hormone (LH) and Growth Hormone (GH). Agmatine is an intermediate in polyamine biosynthesis.

Blueprint™ also integrates R-ALA (r-alpha-lipoic-acid) with Agmatine because it is an antioxidant, and it is also a very effective supplement for anabolic and ergogenic effects.

BLUEPRINT™ Key Product Features:

•Goes Beyond Arginine, with The Revolutionary New Breakthrough Compound -Agmatine!
•Dramatically Improves, body composition and muscle fullness
•Keeps muscles pumped and full around the clock
•Stimulates The Release of Pituitary Peptide Hormones, LH and GH!
•Supports an Anabolic Environment
•Modulates Nitric Oxide

They said it couldn´t be done, however the inventive minds at MAN Sports™ believe that with imagination and knowledge greatness is realized. With the perfected infusion of knowledge and imagination, the greatest performance enhancing supplement of all time, just got better. That´s right, The King Of Creatines™ has arrived.
Introducing Orotine™

Orotine™ contains the patented CreaTate™ Tricreatine Orotate (creatine + orotic acid) complex; an exclusive Creatine and Orotic Acid infusion. Remember Orotic Acid!

A genuine revolutionary breakthrough, creatine has been scientifically proven effective in maintaining ATP levels and increasing recovery during and following high intensity exercise. It is also a proven cell-volumizer, what is unknown to many of creatine is that it functions similar in fashion to carnosine in that it helps with the maintenance of cellular pH. Maintaining proper cell pH enhances performance! More evidence suggests creatine can reduce muscle damage from endurance exercise making it a great supplement for endurance and power athletes alike

[xHoward]

Thoughts: Pretty good workouts thus far. Even after a long day at work and trying to really cut stims i've had some decent workouts. The only thing is the GI distress i've had in the mornings but subsides in the afternoons.

[RB12]

good start. hope the gi issues resolve themselves

[EricTheRed]

good start. hope the gi issues resolve themselves

thank you, no real problems now but just alittle more gas. One day was only really bad probably because i took a cap of slin-sane without thinking with everything else.

Thoughts: had to move my saturday workout to sunday due to haveing to take care of a few things that took waaaay longer then i was told so i missed gym time. Sunday was full out arms and was great....unfortuently i had power upper body the next day so my shoulders and arms where dead so that affected a few things. Other then that numbers have been decent and no real digestive problems.

During hack squat i started having alittle knee tendon pain so i had to back off....i've noticed it once in awhile and i think i aggreivated at work. Other then that i've noticed alittle more fullness during the day.

thoughts: really good workouts. However, again my front delts felt really sore when going into pressing movements. I dont know what the deal is but hopefully thats the last of it. Doing legs twice in 72hrs kinda sucks lol. My hams where pretty destroyed so i tried sticking to quad work but the next day was a sore one but not as bad as i thought it would be.

Thoughts: good workouts but i just finished the blueprint. Its an alright product. Some increased fullness and pumps. Def needs to run more then one bottle tho and they could easily fit over a month worth in a bottle but what can ya do? strenght going up little by little but font delts still pre-sore and I dont know why! Spent the extended weekend at my friends lake home which was a good time but exhausted when i got back monday afternoon but still worked out...still pulled off a good one and i'll post it later

Thoughts: Mondays workout was right when i got back from the lake house, exhausted as could be and almost thought i wouldnt have time to finish the workout since the place was going to close soon. Still pulled off a decent workout tho. Tuesday i set a new PR for hack squat jumping about 30lbs from last week.

[RB12]

nice work on the training and PR. such a pain to have to rush the training, but always good to get in something. it's what sets us apart.

Thoughts: contiuing good workouts. first time doing deads in awhile. The last two sets were basicly me just seeing if i could do it more then anything. My back was destroyed but in a good way for once. My body is set up alittle weird for deads but still working on the best way that wont hurt me. sucks sometimes being taller.

Thoughts: good workout but i was lagging most of the day. For whatever reason i've had a hell of a time sleeping since saturday. On top of working 10-12 hr days just this week since my company is trying to start up a new production line on top of a buch of other things, and a good friend of mine's 21st birthday. I didnt drink much at all but still up late. So all that hasnt really helped and with going in the lab early this week my workout is changing abit since i'll be out of town this weekend for a autoracing event i've been looking forward too since last year. So this was my upper body day with a new PR on decline bench. Tomorrow will be legs and then another upper day before i take off. Not completely happy with it but you gotta do what you gotta do. At least overtime pay will make up for some things.

Thoughts: great workouts and my sleep patter is settling out (for the most part). My last workout was probably my best chest workout in along time. First time doing regular barbell bench in probably well over a year and i actually had a workout partner for the first time since probably december. Just started out as a spot since we where both doin bench and he just followe me throughout the workout (hes a older guy but pretty built). This was also my last day with Orotine so i'll have all the final reveiw stuff up by the end of the weekend depending on how work goes

[EricTheRed]

First of all i would like to thank RB12 and everyone at MAN for allowing me to test Blueprint and Orotine.

First off i'll start off with Blueprint. I will have to say that i did start to notice a difference while taking this product when it came to alittle better sleep quality and a better pump. I did notice what seemed to be a better carb uptake but i did have a slight setback as I have seen in many products like it.....da poops. I started noticing some stomach upset and all that jazz but tapered off after about 7-10 days. Also playing with the dosing might help depending on the persons response. Overall i did like it however, i do feel that you will need 2-3 bottles to get the full effect of the product. Also the bottle was at if not less then half empty so it would be easy for them to put in enought product to make a bottle at least a month long.

Now on to Orotine. I will have to say i did enjoy this product as well. I feel it probably has to be one of the best capsulated creatine products i have ever used. I was able to see a slight increase in muscle volume along with strenght with alittle more endurance to boot. Granted my training days got alittle messed up near the end here along with probably not eatting enought to gain more but i'm at about 195lbs right now and thats not too bad from 191. Overall my workouts ended up pretty good which is what really matters. I have to say that if your looking for a capped creatine this is it and it seems the price really cant be beat. Also you probaly dont need to take all 6 grams of product every day as maybe 3 should sufice. However, if your looking for more endurance the recomeded dose of 8 caps a day is probably what you would want to do. Now its time to try to trim some fat before i go for "the blueprint". Again thanks again and if you have anymore questions dont be afraid to ask. Here are some pics

[RB12]

thanks for hte log and feedback man. nice work. pics look great too, well done.
