Lion's AMINOx-PERIENCE

[EnriqueDeLeon]

Big Thanks

First & foremost, I'd like to thanks Eric Hart, The Matzah, and everyone at BSN for giving me the opportunity to log this product. I'm very familiar with BSN. From January 2010 to March 2010 (3 months), I stacked Syntha-6, True-Mass, Cell-Mass, N.O.-Xplode, Nitrix, Volumaize, Cheaters, & Thermonex. I had very good success with these products as I gained ~15lbs. of mass. BSN was one of my favorite companies when I entered the art of bodybuilding. So once again, I am very grateful for this opportunity. Thank you BSN.

Thoughts



Eric Hart said we'd be getting 2 bottles of AMINOx instead of 1; and to my surprise they threw in N.O.-Xplode 2.0 & 2 samples of Syntha-6. Very generous of Eric & BSN.



I will be using AMINOx as my intra and will officially begin this log on Monday.

Thanks guys. Purple Drank, how you liking the PHAT?

[EnriqueDeLeon]

Alright here we go...

I decided to do AMINOx as an intra but after today's Xperience. I've decided to take it 20-30 minutes before my pre-workout supplement.

Profile: 8.8/10



I'm not a fan of Proprietary blends. I actually like knowing exactly what I'm taking. I don't know what type of ratio this would be. 4:1:1? 3:1:1? I just don't know.

Taste: 8.5/10

I'm taking Green Apple. I served myself a scoop in 6oz. of water today. The powder is very soft. Like baby powder or softer. It's white but when it touches water it turns Monster Green. Its awesome. I took a sip and it tasted like a sour skittle. The more I tried it the more I didn't like it. But this could be that it was in medium/warm temp. water. I'll try ice cold water tomorrow.



Performance: 3/10

I wasn't expect much from this product because it's a BCAA. I don't really feel anything off aminos unless I'm on a cut. I actually got a stomachache the more I sipped. Nevertheless, I continued sipping throughout my entire workout. I wasn't very impress but it's barely day one so there's so much more to go.

No, it's not on his website.
I got it off an interview he did with SimplyShredded.*

I took AMINOx 30 minutes before the gym today. The aftertaste was unpleasant; but the Green Apple taste itself is decent. The performance in the gym today was just terrible. Again, I got a bad stomachache and felt bloated. So, once again, instead of taking it intra or pre. I'm going to try it post tomorrow. Lets hope it goes a lot better because of right now. I don't approve.*

haha that made me laugh.
I'm eating roughly 2 hours before I take this. No luck.

[ProWrestleFan]

Hmm, I use the green apple flavor and I haven't noticed any aftertaste. Stomach doesn't hurt either... Weird, but I hope it ends up working out for you.

[GHO5T]

subb'd.... only bc your my dude did the green apple slap you in the face too?

[NattyFLEX]

I really feel bad for saying this but I have to be completely honest with my log. I took 1 scoop AMINOx post-workout today and again my stomach started hurting after taking this. I seriously don't know what's in AMINOx that my body does not like. I really do hope things turn out better in the coming days. I don't know how much longer I can stomach these aches.

I wanna note that I spend most of my afternoon in the Oval Office yesterday, and I'm pretty sure it was because of AMINOx.

Hate to say this but AMINOx just isn't for me. Its day 4 and my stomach hurts after taking this. The taste is good, not great.
I don't even know if I can continue taking this because I don't like having stomachaches daily. I cut out my pre-workout supplement after day 1 to isolate AMINOx; seems like that's what's giving me stomachaches. The only other supplements I'm taking are Orange Triad & Nimbus Nutrition protein. I get a bloated and this isn't my first time taking BCAAs so I know I don't have an issue with that. Again, I'll try it tomorrow and hope that it gets better.

[TheMatzah]

Sup Lion? I see you've been having some stomach issues but I wouldn't necessarily say AMINOx is the cause, it's a very light drink with instant mix-ability. So you stopped your pre-workout after Day 1 and are still having issues? I'd say try taking it intra, with 1 scoop and over 15oz of water and see how that works out for you. This is the first case I've come across with it/or thinking it causes stomach upset.

Let's experiment a bit and see which factors may be contributing to it..

Also, keep in mind that a BCAA product will not produce instant results, you'll notice the benefits over time. Some people notice them sooner than others but we all know everyone is different.

Seriously, what the heck! I took AMINOx intra and AGAIN, stomachache. What is with AMINOx & me? We just can't get along. My workouts aren't even pleasurable because of this. I don't really know what else to say or do at this point.

lmao fuk dats funny. I like that your honest in your log most ppl just type bullsh!t to get free stuffz

[ProWrestleFan]

You know the day after I posted I took AMINOx and got some stomach, but I also hadn't hydrated as much as usual. Once I hydrated, I was good to go, pain was gone. Are you not consuming enough water? Either way, most of the logs are good. Maybe the product just doesn't sit well with you. Let us know what you decide to do.

Thanks ProWrestler, my water intake has been normal. Not low or anything but I'll up the H2O intake and see if that helps. But yeah, I've checked out the other logs. Seems to be just me. Thanks for your concern bro. Its appreciated.

Very true, as stated in our PM's it may just not be for you, which stinks as I know we were looking forward to your log and you in return were hype to log it. Unfortunate but hoping it's temporary..

If you decide to stop, we fully understand.

[ProWrestleFan]

Do you have any food allergies that you know of? If you want, we'll hook you up with a full tub of NO-Xplode 2.0 to log. Just worried you might have the same reaction...

[GHO5T]

Lion-

I figured I would stop in here and try to help you out. My guess is that it's the artificIal flavoring. Try this:

Drink a glass of apple juice before drinking or sipping the aminox. Let me know how you feel after doing this.
