Ai Sports Nutrition: Massularia Log

[MrCeli]

Morning Ladies & Gentlemen!

Today, I am filling out a review for Ai Sports Nutrition's Massularia: A testosterone booster. I wanted to give a big thank you to my friend, Karl, and Ai Sports Nutrition for allowing to do a second Log for their product. I have not been on here for awhile, but I intend to give my best review for this product.

Directions are simple:
2 capsules Am & 2 capsules Pm

A little bit about me:
I'm just a guy who's trying to shed a bit of weight. I'm currently 5'8/5'9 and my weight fluctuates between 190lbs to 188lbs by the start of the week and towards the end. By the end of the month, I hope to get stronger, and have as much gains as I can while on this product. I've used Ai's TestoPro before for bulking, and my strength went beyond than I have imagined before. So I know this supplement won't let me down. At this current time, I am cutting, and I'm hoping that Massularia will help me keep, or improve my strength as I attempt to lose weight throughout the month.

Diet:
I roughly try to eat at 2300 Calories on my workout days. On my off days, I eat 1800 Calories. 1 Liter of water at least a day. I started from eating 180g of carbs a few weeks ago. Now I'm at 160g of carbs. I refeed once a week. I cut my carbs about 10g a week until I hit 120g. After that, then I'll do a new workout. That's the GOAL.

Workout:
I switch up the days every now and then so I don't get bored. But I strictly keep it one week heavy, then the following week; light. Then repeat. I attempt to do intervals for 10-15 minutes, or I play basketball for an hour, or go biking. It depends on my mood.

Supplements:
Hyde: Pre-workout
Intek: Cookies and Cream is my Whey Protein
Ai Sports Nutrion's very own RecoveryPro
Massularia

I had really bad lower back spasms because from poor posture during a 135lb deadlift, and it left me in sports rehab for a month. I obviously didn't do deadlifts after my recovery. It took me six months until I started doing deadlifts again after strengthening my lower back and psyching myself out of it.

Meaning, in theory, your arms will look bigger with more triceps. haha. But I plan on focusing on my biceps more too later so it will look more defined and I can have the best of both worlds.

Comment:
This upcoming week is HEAVY week for me. Also, my carbs drops from 160 grams of carbs to 150 grams. I'll be equipped with pre-workouts and lots of water. Time to stock up on yams/sweet potato for the week. Alright! I'll log in again tomorrow. Lift dirty and eat clean everyone!

[MrCeli]

Status:
I weigh in at 188 now for this week. No injuries to report, or any side effects. No light headed feeling, not feeling drained, I feel at 200% than the usual 120%.
I'm at 150 grams of carbs now. Increased protein intake by a little. 180- 190 (Added one more egg white for my day).

Mood:
I watched TUF (The Ultimate Fighter), and MMA's Greatest bouts so I was pretty amped up today for the gym. I became super motivated to gym today.

Comment:
It's currently been a week since I've taken Massularia. I know that every supplement works different on everybody since everybody's body reacts differently to anything we change in our workout, or take in. Apparently, I'm supposed to feel a strength increase within two weeks, but I beg to differ after my Log today.

I decided to switch up my routine today, and decided to try out Scott Herman's chest routine. (YouTube him).

I did not have a spotter today, so I did my absolute best to use the weight proper for myself to prevent injury and hit 6-8 reps tops. It was no doubt, my first time doing drop-sets today in a year.

Workouts:

Dumbbell Chest Press

Set 1
55 x 8
35 x 8
15 x 12

Comment: It was seriously weird here.. The heaviest I have ever gone with dumbbells is 45lbs -- normally, that would kill me. I felt like today, I could have done 5-15 more pounds heavier than what I was just doing. So instead of dropping weight 15-20 punds, I decided to do 10 lbs so I could feel the burn more. Just an experiment. Feedback would be good to my issue.

Set 2
52.5 x 8
42.5 x 8
32.5 x 8

Set 3
50 x 8
40 x 8
30 x 8

Comment: I felt a really good burn here than dropping it 20lbs.

Comment: My arms were shaking after awhile. I couldn't lift a 25lb anymore. So I stopped there and I kinda rested there for awhile.

Intervals occurring later on tonight w/Oblique workouts.

Last thoughts:
Holy crap,man. I seriously felt if I had a spotter today, I could have gone two times harder, but I was worried about my shoulder. I had no pain though before and after stretching out. After a week of taking Massularia, I definitely have significant strength improvements. Next time, I'll try out the bench. This workout was pretty fun.

I've really started to enjoy going light on arms and just getting a heck of a squeeze!

[De__eB]

Massularia...again?

Really?

Didn't we all learn this lesson when Pink Magic was on the market?

[MrCeli]

I've really started to enjoy going light on arms and just getting a heck of a squeeze!

I know. Puts a smile on my face every time.

[MrCeli]

Massularia...again?

Really?

Didn't we all learn this lesson when Pink Magic was on the market?

I'm not too familiar with Pink Magic. Care to express some thoughts? I'd like to know what happened.

[De__eB]

A). Zero human data whatsoever. None. Nothing published. Not even a single anecdotal bloodwork set posted anywhere.

B). They claim to be mimicing the 1000m/kg dose in rats from the 2008 study. What they don't tell you is that this study also documented significant increases in biomarkers of hepatotoxic stress in the rats at this dose. Also, as part of selling you on the superiority of their product based on its higher dose, they are conveniently not telling you that in a 2011 study, the 50mg/kg dose was nearly as effective as the 1000 mg/kg dose, demonstrating a U-curve like dosing response.

C). This ingredient was not marketed as a supplement in the US prior to 1994, however AI is pressing forward in marketing it without submitting an NDI to the FDA. This means they have not provided any of the necessary safety data that goes along with said notification. This means that you have a product being dosed at a level known to be toxic to rats, without performing any human testing whatsoever. This is not only responsible but is in fact against the law.

Companies will act like it's okay because hey, they're able to market their product just fine and never get into any trouble, but that's because they're a smaller company that isn't on the FDAs radar and they'll probably have replaced the product before the FDA ever catches wind of it.

They'll also act like it's okay because 'hey, nobody is going to the hospital with jaundice from taking this supplement'. The shortcoming there is that it doesn't matter if someone gets hurt or not, it is completely irresponsible to be marketing a product with known toxic side effects in the only research data you are using to justify the use of the ingredient, and not do due diligence in humans. Also, what of someone who is susceptible to liver failure and doesn't know it? What if that someone takes the product and is injured or dies? That turns a lack of due diligence into a tragedy.

The FDAs regulations are there for a reason, and companies just sort of ignoring the law and not complying does not change the law. But hey, if people want to buy stuff from companies that ignore the law, that's their prerogative.


EDIT: To clarify, AI isn't doing anything that dozens/hundreds of companies in the industry don't also do. They're just following standard practice in a pretty crappy industry.

[JohnSmeton]

Keep up the good workouts MrCeli and good to know you notice a strength increase from massularia

[Cdt_Richards]

Glad to see the strength progress being made!

[ehayes]

Hey Celi just dropping in to say that I'm glad you're seeing some results. Hope the product continues to work well for you. Have anymore long term goals for the future?

[MrCeli]

Keep up the good workouts MrCeli and good to know you notice a strength increase from massularia

Thank you very much. I was very surprised.

[MrCeli]

Hey Celi just dropping in to say that I'm glad you're seeing some results. Hope the product continues to work well for you. Have anymore long term goals for the future?

Thank you for taking the time to check up on me! I'm pretty sure it will--with no doubt about it.

Well, I'm seriously trying to melt off the leftovers of my love handles. I want to reach 170lbs in time with larger forearms (Since mine are hard to grow), a nice broad shoulders, and just look decent with a shirt off. In reality though, I'm happy with any progress I can make. But reaching 170 would actually make me seriously happy. I'd like to try boxing in the long run, but I never felt conditioned to do so.

[bitistathebeast]

Workouts looking really nice!

[MrCeli]

Workouts looking really nice!

Thank you,Beast! I'll be filling in my Leg log in a few. I tried the single leg press on the leg press machine and it seriously kicked my ass today. haha!

[BulkyPinoy61]

Hows training coming along??

We'll get a training sesh in soon, maybe on the weekend after work.
Just been really busy with summer school and work lately

I'm not too familiar with Pink Magic. Care to express some thoughts? I'd like to know what happened.

Pink Magic was a product that was put out a while back that had a small amount (in a blend) of the Massularia Root in it. It is not anywhere near what we have in ours, but everyone is always entitled to their own opinion.... some people will like certain products some will not... Some products will work for one , but not for another

As long as you are seeing results (as I did) I say keep it up!
