New muscle growth. It's what you train for, right? But, if it's been a while since someone has complimented you on your "muscular size," And you're still anxiously trying to build an impressive chest... head-turning arms... or at least the type of muscular size that "shows," so people can definitely tell you work out. I'd suggest you stop everything you're doing and read about the all-new science in muscular performance called H+Blocker, which has recently been formulated with a patent-pending hydrogen-binder/pH-stabilizing nutrient matrix that is sure to help a growing number of hardcore bodybuilders and serious weight trainers like you get a harder, tighter, and stronger looking physique, in less time, due to its extraordinary actions-that take effect almost immediately.

The newly formulated H+Blocker features a new class of agents that are designed to drastically affect the muscular contraction, fullness, workload capacity, and growth of fast-twitch muscle fibers. Technically known as carnosine. and synthesized in our bodies from beta-alanine and L-histidine. In fact, recent studies have indicated that carnosine is preferentially found in fast-twitch (Type II) muscle fibers in humans. Basically, fast-twitch fibers are the muscle fibers that have the potential to make you "super-human." They are the muscle fibers athletes need to set world records in track and field events like sprinting and in powerlifting... they're the fibers that have the capacity to grow beyond your wildest imagination... they're the fibers every athlete (especially those of us who are serious about training with weights) wish we had lots more of.

The good news is fast-twitch muscle fibers have a much greater potential for muscle growth than Type I fibers or slow-twitch fibers. The bad news, though, is most of us have more slow-twitch than fast-twitch muscle fibers. And unfortunately, only a very small percentage of us who take up weight lifting to build muscle mass are born with lots of these fibers. Enough of them to matter, anyway. Sadly, there is nothing you and I can do to alter our ratio of slow- and fast-twitch fibers.

But, here's some incredible news... while H+Blocker cannot "alter" your genetics, what it can do is "enhance" your genetics... thereby making you a member of the "elite few," in a sense: the small group at your gym (or the pro bodybuilders) who stand above everybody in terms of size, muscularity, and power. And here's why... With the patent-pending nutrient matrix found only in H+Blocker, what we can do is "blast" the heck out of the existing fast-twitch fibers we do have... so, in essence, they begin to appear to all "act like" fast-twitch fibers. In other words, by supplying our bodies with the nutrients to synthesize carnosine, we can preferentially direct the intracellular actions toward the muscles that have the greatest capacity for greater contractions, fullness, workload capacity, and growth!

Tri-Strength Creatine & Nitric Oxide

Creatine Monohydrate: One of the most widely used performance-enhancing supplements on the market, creatine has been the subject of over 200 studies. These studies have shown definite positive effects for muscle building, enhanced cellular energy capacity, and reduced muscle fatigue. Beyond its muscle-building and performance-enhancing effects, creatine has been shown to increase fat loss and have positive effects on overall health by reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels and improving blood-sugar metabolism.

*Di-Creatine Malate: A highly soluble creatine salt thought to provide a greater increase in creatine bioavailability over regular creatine monohydrate. Quite simply, this compound is creatine bound to malic acid. Malic acid is a naturally occurring Krebs Cycle intermediate, meaning that malic acid plays a crucial role in our natural energy cycle. Malic acid, coupled with creatine, as in Di-Creatine Malate, offers much greater ATP production over conventional creatine monohydrate. In the body, malic acid...

Stimulates oxygen consumption by increasing mitochondrial uptake of other substrates
Is the only metabolite of the Krebs Cycle that falls in concentration during exhaustive physical activity
Depletion has been linked to physical exhaustion
Supports the removal of components that buildup under hypoxic conditions and inhibit ATP production.

*Creatine Ethyl Ester or CEE is a membrane permeable form of creatine that theoretically can enter the cells without having to use the "typical" creatine transporter molecules. Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL (CEE) is creatine monohydrate with an ester attached. Esters are organic compounds that are formed by esterification?the reaction of carboxylic acid and alcohols. Users are reported to gain substantial increases in strength and muscle mass, with none of the gastrointestinal discomfort or water bloating normally associated with the monohydrate form. Recommended dosages range from as little as one to three grams per day with no "loading" phase, as typically prescribed for the monohydrate form. Creatine monohydrate is semi-lipopholic (which means it inefficiently uses fat as a transport mechanism). The esterification of substances increases their lipopholic abilities, leading to the conclusion that esterified creatine will use fat more efficiently to permeate the cell wall and have greater benefits upon cellular function than creatine monohydrate alone.

*Elemental Creatine Transporter Cofactors: Sodium and Chloride Creatine transporters, as stated above, also localize in the intestines and thus are the "first line" of creatine transport. Because of the not uncommon experience of intestinal distress (loose stools, diarrhea) among a minority of creatine users, especially during the loading phase, one wonders whether optimizing creatine transport conditions within the gut could make a distinctively positive difference.

Because creatine transporter proteins are sodium- and chloride-dependent transporters, the provision of an optimal ratio of sodium and chloride, but not at an amount posing a concern for sodium-sensitive individuals, may foster greater gut tolerability during loading or single high-dose creatine monohydrate supplementation. Additionally, this transporter cofactor ratio may push absorption to the theoretical maximum of 100% of an oral dose.

*Di-Arginine Malate is a novel compound featuring two molecules of L-arginine bound to malic acid. Most available NO boosters offer only one molecule of L-arginine bound to AKG. L-Arginine is thought to increase nitric oxide production, leading to increased vasodilation and potentially increased protein synthesis. The positive effects of L-arginine on nitric oxide production are well established, but there were no published studies regarding arginine alpha-ketoglutarate and nitric oxide production.

*Di-Arginine Malate was created by combining arginine with malic acid, a naturally occurring intermediate in the Krebs Cycle. This bond makes much more sense because malic acid is the only metabolite of the Krebs Cycle that falls in concentration during exhaustive physical activity. Studies show that malic acid stimulates oxygen consumption by increasing mitochondrial uptake of other substrates, and it's also known to support the removal of components that buildup under hypoxic conditions and inhibit ATP production.

Subscribes Best of luck to yah mate

[extremenergy3]

I'm down for the rideeee!

[Stonecoldtruth]

Racquetball eh? I have been wanting to try RB out, but I just can't get up the gumption. It seems like an easy to learn high intensity sport for sure though!

Good luck with the log, I'm in for the ride.

[AtownKing187]

Great start Big!

[NuclearArms]

You should have some fun with this. The H+Blocker sensation is unique.

[KCoils]

The H+Blocker sensation is unique.

Thats certainly one way of putting it!

On topic though, this was the first supplement stack i ever tried (back when it was CEXL - which was a better name in my opinion) and i noticed great results, so much so i just ordered some more for my next stack. I'm sure you'll be suitably impressed with the results, best of luck to ya

Hell yeah racquetball is intense!

Great start Big!

thanks ATK

I used to get a lot of tingles from Clout so we will see how this feels.

hopefully I can experience the same results as u did.

4 hours until liftoff

DAY 1!!!

Disclaimer

Unfortunatly I have lots of interviews tomorrow so this will be one of the shorter updates. Normally I will go into great detail with lifts, diet, and how the product effects me. Today, I will only comment on taste.

This in no way reflects the future of this log.

Taste of 3-XL
9/10 Wow I am def looking forward to my next dose. It tasted awsome. Exactly like fruit punch as many have mentioned already. The smell is also great! More on taste tomorrow

Taste of H+Blocker
7/10: hmm still good, but not as good as 3-XL. I dunno if it was the color that made me think of it but I feel the after taste may have had a hint of "Beet juice".

Keep in mind that it sat in a hot car. with cold water Im sure it is 100X better. More on this tomorrow.

Mixability on both was perfect

Again sorry for the short initial post. But tomorrow is interview time baby. Better juice up on H+Blocker before!

[adoniscomplex]

gald you like the taste !

[BigNorwegian]

Quick suggestion, never chug H+Blocker with warm tap water. Bad things happen

On a serious not, I have found that the colder the water, the more satisfying the fruit punch flavoring system is from iSat. Though this correlation is present with nearly every powdered supplement, I find it to be more prevalent with iSat's fruit punch. I love the fruit punch cold, but warm... not too much

[tmz123]

Subbed!

[bigbridrol]

DAY 2

Starting Weight: 180
BACK DAY

Taste of 3-XL
9.5/10 Had to bump up the rating today as it tasted sooo good right after a racquetball game.

Taste of H+Blocker
7.5/10: Its a lot better cold. But still not as good as 3-XL

THE TINGLES
On my first and second dose the tingling sensation from the BA was pretty strong. First in my cheeks, then to my face and arms. I thought it would be lessened from my time on Clout awhile ago but apparently not.

ENERGY
7.5/10 Hmm Right after the tingles started to diminish it was time to lift. However, this only restarted the tingles!

I was pretty pumped today, energy was good, not great, but still good.

Hopefully my workouts will get better now that I am on this pretty little stack as lately I have been very stressed out with this whole job search interviewing business.


Diet (yesterday)
Meal 1: real gains
Meal 2: Pasta with cheese
Meal 3: chicken breast with beans
Meal 4: turkey wrap
Meal 5: more real gains
Meal 6: mini steak
Meal 7: left over breaded chicken
Meal 8: GNC shake EWW

I will also being including noteworthy lifts and how much I increased on them.

great advice. I noticed that today When I took it how much better everything tasted Cold. Warm is yuck

[bigbridrol]

DAY 3

Starting Weight: 180
Biceps and abs DAY

Taste of 3-XL
Loving it

Taste of H+Blocker
hmm, a SLIGHT flavor of beets or some kind of vegetable. Anyone agree here? still, not bad

Mixability
10/10 No issues with mixing, Scoop into cup and swirl with water.

Focus
8/10
put in a tough workout and then was able to play 1.5 hours of r-ball
Today I def needed the H+blocker since I came in sluggish after a wild sat night. Helped a lot

Pump
7/10
Biceps were def torn apart and are going to hurt tommorow. Pump was pretty good. Ill be able to evaluate better tomorrow

Endurance
8.5/10
Stayed very alert and energized throughout the r-ball game which gets intense.

Intensity
8/10
Its hard for me to keep up intensity doing a biceps workout, but it went pretty quick and intense.

Recovery
? Who knows, my body is destroyed right now from all the excersise.

Sides
No crash to report that comes with some preworkout drinks. R-ball killed a lot of my energy but no crash.
1.5 gallons of water today approx.

Overall it was a good lift for baby bi's. I am looking forward to my first chest workout on it

[bigbridrol]

DAY 4

Starting Weight: 179.5
CHEST

Focus
8/10
Very focused today! no PRs but a great lift. I did 7 sets of flys and tried to play r-ball after, but I could nto swing.

Pump
9/10
Chest was full!

Endurance
8/10
The gym was hot so it was tough to keep up my endurance but I powered through

Sides
No crash
2 gallons of water today approx.

Can't weight to see this stack help me achieve my goals and prep me for my Havoc/epi cycle in the summer

[BigNorwegian]

Hey BBD, try eating an apple or banana with your serving with H+Blocker, it should help with the uptake of Beta-Alanine.

As for the tingles they should dissipate over time, if not just keep us informed. If you enjoy the tingles, or if they don't bother you then don't worry about them as they are completely harmless.


Keep up the great work man,
BigNorg

I will eat fruit with it. Yeah, I dont mind the tingles either.

Thanks.

[bigbridrol]

DAY 5

Starting Weight: 180
OFF day- ONLY CARDIO

Only Racquetball today for 1.5 hours. I decided to mix the H+Blocker and 3-XL together pre r-ball.

Taste: both together
-8/10 Better then H+Blocker alone but still a SLIGHT Beet taste afterwards. I think its beet, who knows. But still not bad at all.

Had a mild scare today as our courts are around 90 degrees, Everything went darker and I was lightheaded about 3 times and had to sit down.

-Not related to the supps, Im assuming just heat and lack of water?

Overall, a Very high intensity cardio session and Im sure the H+ helped me out.

[Blast_]

Keep hydrated! No one wants you to pass out... it'll ruin the party

Phillies home opener yesterday! Did you go?

[bigbridrol]

nope. But tomorrow is college night! Im goin then!

[tmz123]

nope. But tomorrow is college night! Im goin then!

Nice!!! I'd love to go, but 4hrs is a lil far of a drive for a baseball game

[Stonecoldtruth]

I will eat fruit with it. Yeah, I dont mind the tingles either.

Thanks.

The tingles are my favorite part personally. Something about feeling a physical effect with a supplement that makes you more mentally connected to it and it's effects on the body. Call it a mental placebo, but I'll take it!

What other kind of placebos are there

BBD let us know how college night goes!

[tmz123]

Damn Phils

Hope ya had a good time anyway!!!! $1DOGS!!!!!

[bigbridrol]

College night was awsome, up until the Phils lost the game at the end. I had 7 hotdogs and a few beers, ended puking them up in the parking lot after bc I would keep smelling my burps.

oh well, fun time!

[bigbridrol]

DAY 6 Shoulders Tris

Starting Weight: 180

Pumps
-9/10 Ridiculous Tricep pump today, Felt like a damn rock. WOA

Energy
-9/10 Beasted through the workout, high energy and focus.

Tingle effects have slightly lessened, but as STC said its actually a big placebo motivator for me as I get very energized from it.

Diet
-Real Gains
-Tuna can with fresh mozz
-pasta with cheese
-Chicken breast with broccoli
-shake
-remaining chicken
-Pecan crusted tilapie and assorted sides (gf made me dinner)
-shake

[bigbridrol]

DAY 7 Legs

Starting Weight: 180

Pumps
-8/10 Legs feeling real good throughout the workout. Quads lookin bigger.

Energy
-9/10 six sets of squats, definetly wont be able to walk tomorrow.

Notes: This stack has kept me very energized and feeling thick. Pumps have been hard and powerfull.

I have been having trouble sleeping when I take the H+blocker near the end of the day, so on days where I am forced to workout late, I will take half of a scoop.
