[justlg]

Thanks to Applied Nutriceuticals I will starting a test log for their IGF2 and NeoVar Product in the next day or two.

For more information on these products please visit Applied Nutriceuticals


Now a little background on myself.

Age: 31

Sex: M

Height: 5'7

Weight: 192 lbs (currently dieting)

Bodytype: Endo-Meso

Training experience: Been lifting for 15 years. Started lifting for wrestling, then switched to focus more on bodybuilding.

Current Training Schedule: I lift Monday - Friday focusing on two major muscle groups.

Cardio Schedule: High cardio, due to dieting for summer.

Current supplements:
Multi-vitamin, Flaxseed Oil
Protien Shakes, N.O. Limits

Short Term Goal: Get ripped for summer, gain some muscle, boost over plateau.

Current Diet & Macros:

I always consume 7 + meals a day. Many small high protien snacks

Current Daily Water Intake: I'm currently getting between 1 - 2 gallons a day

Related Supplement Experience:

Natural Test boosters and natural GH boosters:
ZMA, T-Bomb II, Symmetry, Anabolx, Pure Bulgarian T, Retain, REM and many more but can't think of them.

Creatine Products:
Bulk Creatine Mono, Phosphagen PH, Kre-Alk, Bulk CEE, Ciabolo, Liquid buffered Creatine, Smash, Storm and many more.


Current Approx Weight Used.

Bench: 325 x 8 - 10 reps x 3 sets
Leg Press: 900 x 9 x 3
Squats: 345 x 8 x 3
Tries (SK): 140 x 8 x 3
Bi?s: Concentrated DB: 55 x 8 x 3
Back (LatP): 200 x 8 x 3

Items I will be monitoring Weight, Sleep, Strength, Muscle Energy (Endurance), Aggression, Appetite, Libido, Pumps, Mood, Acne, Body Aches, Comparison to previous products using ranking, Overall ranking.

Ranking scale is 1 to 10. 10 being the best.

Side note on Test Boosters and me. I am pretty prone to acne, I throughly wash my face with expensive soap and items and have excellant hygiene. Off test boosters I have no acne. The majority of test boosters I have used have given me terrible acne and no benefits. I have found only 1 or 2 that have not but they were a proprietary mix by a company and cost $90 for a 15 day supply (it was good stuff though), so I will be keeping a close eye on IGF2 and am excited to try it.

Side Note on CEE products and me: I respond well to regular Creatine Mono most of the time, however, lately it doesn't seem to work as well and I am getting some subq. water retention. I have tried CEE in the past and had ok results with it. I look forward to to trying NeoVar.

One last item. I believe quality ingredients and manufacturing processes are a must in the supp. industry. Too many times have I tried a sample then bought a bottle and had different effects (bad effects) from the bottle then the sample. Since supps. are not regulated you are never guaranteed to get what is on the ingredient profile unless the company is a stand-up company and uses a GMP facility. I believe Applied Nutriceuticals is a stand-up company.

Best of Luck Justin!
I am sure you'll be pleased with the products. I'll be keeping up on this one!

[justlg]

Weight: Going to weigh again Monday.

First day on product so I won't expect much to happen. However, I think I can feel the NeoVar kick in already because my weight went up a bit in the gym, and I had a bit more energy.

Arm Day:

Here is a quick breakdown of the routine:

DB Curl Conc: 50, 60, 65 x 6 to 10 reps
DB Press: 90, 115, 120 x 7-10 reps

PressD:120, 130 x 10 reps
Conc Bi Machine: 120, 130 x 10
Abs: 130, 140 , 140 x 13-15 reps
Cardio HIIT 10

NC - stands for No Change

Strength: Up slightly

Muscle Energy/Endurance: A tad bit more

Aggression: NC

[justlg]

Day 2: 04/12/07

Comparison to previous products using ranking: The IGF2 seems to be taken effect already, usually test boosters take 1 to 2 weeks to affect me. Plus the NeoVar had affect the first day slightly. My interpretation of this is that ht eproduct is high quality ingredients and dosed properly.

Overall ranking: Too soon

[justlg]

Day 3: 04/13/07

Day 6: 04/16/07

Weight: 191, BF: ???..will test tonight. Felt sick today

Chest/Back/Calve Day:

Here is a quick breakdown of the routine:

DB Flat: 110, 120, 120 x 10-11
DB Rows: 100, 100 x 8-10
Mach Press: 100, 100 x 10
Hammer Incline: 335, 365, 365 6-10
Leg Ext.:260, 260, 267 x 10
Abs weighted Crch: 80, 85, x 10-15

Cardio

Strength has gone up even more even though I feel sick, (bad cold I think), normally my performance in the gym stinks when I am sick but everything went up. However, libido is back to normal and pumps are down a bit. Could be from being sick.

Sleep: Sleep so, so lately

Strength: Up even more, even though weight is down.

Endurance: Less, probably from being sick

Aggression: NC

Appetite: NC

Libido: Normal

Pumps: Normal

Mood: Not good - sick.

Acne: NC (some normal stuff)

Body Aches: No

I have been exhausted lately and a bit sick, I am pretty sure the exhaustion is from my headcold and not a lethargic feeling from the supps. I will no more in 3 to 5 days. Strength continues to go up.

P.S. I am cutting for summer, so I want weight to go down, if my strength increases to that usually means I am gaining muscle, while losing fat, which is hard but an awesome thing to accomplish.

No negative sides to report of.

Sounds like you got the "crud" that has been going around down here....

[justlg]

Yes I do,

I was around a ton of sick people earlier this week, so I am positive I have what they had.

I am thoroughly impressed with the IGF-2 and NeoVar, I mean I am gaining still and I am sick...that just doesn't happen too me.

[babolat06]

Nice looking log so far! Keep it up!

[justlg]

Semper Fi.,,"mutha %*&$" Had to say it. Quote from Doom the movie.

Day 7: 04/17/07

Weight: ??? Measure again Friday or Monday

Cardio day: 22 min. HIIT

Today I felt much better, energy was back, pump was back. I have been taking zinc tabs to help with the cold and it is working.

NC - stands for No Change

Weight: Down slightly, cutting though

Sleep: NC

Strength: Up slightly

Muscle Energy/Endurance: Up a little

Aggression: NC

Appetite: NC

Libido: Up a bit more

Pumps: A constant fullness of my muscles

Mood: Better-have had a cold lately

Acne: NC (some normal stuff)

Body Aches: No

I want to stress that I had a cold and I do not think it was anything from NeoVar or IGF2. In fact I think the NeoVar and IGF2 helped me keep and actually increase my gains during my 4 day sick period. That is awesome.

These products are great so far.

Overall ranking: So far some 7 out of 10 (Very good)

In another week I am going to do a detailed comparison to other similar products I have used but so far these are at the top. These are definitely quality products, that are not underdosed.

[Blahzay128]

looks like you have a quality log thus far.....i'm definitely interested in how these supps work out for you....keep working hard!!

Arm Day:

I just have to say what the heck is in this stuff!!! Is it doped? I mean this in a good way, becuase I have beat some of my personal best lifiting records and I have used PS/PH before and some other fun stuff.

Body Aches: No

These products are great so far.

Overall ranking: So far some 7.5 out of 10 (Very good)

Man this combo is amazing and it's only been eight days, I am lifting more than my personal best on about half my lifts, my recuperation is amazing and am considering adding two more workout days to my week. I hate using this term but I feel like I am on a small to moderate amount of juice without the side effects.

I bet RPM is amazing.

Endurance: Less, today

Aggression: NC

Appetite: NC

Libido: Up

Pumps: Nice pumps

Since I have started this stack, my strength, recuperation, pump, endurance and libido have all gone up a good amount. It didn?t happen all at once, it has been happening gradually. Nice synergy in products thus far. I am loving both NeoVar and IGF2 and have no negative sides to report.

In addition I am cutting for summer and have lost approx. 1.5% BF and have gained 5 lbs. Amazing. I am not coming to any conclusions on this until I have completed at least another week. Then I will post amount of fat lost and muscle gained. I will also summarize this in my ending post.

[justlg]

Day 15: 04/25/07

Weight: 189 - BF: ???

Arm Day:

Man, I am loving this stack. If you want an awesome stakc get IGF2 and NeoVar.

I tried RPM today, only took 2 pills and felt very little from it. A little bit more focus and that is it. However, the recommend dose is 4 to 6 pills...I wanted to start small. Will up the dose next time

Here is a quick breakdown of the routine:

DB Curl Conc: 55, 60, 65 x 7 to 10 reps
SK: 110, 140, 150 x 9-10 reps
21s: 80, 80
PressD:130, 135 x 10 reps, then BO
Conc Bi Machine: 135, 140 x 10, then BO
Abs: 130, 140 , 140 x 13-15 reps

Felt a little tired today but still made a small increase in either weight or reps.

NC - stands for No Change

Weight: Down slightly, cutting though

Sleep: Good

Strength: Up Again

Muscle Energy/Endurance: Up

Aggression: NC

Appetite: NC

Libido: Up a bit

Recuperation: Way Up

Pumps: A constant fullness of my muscles, starting to feel like the Hulk.... Muscles are denser.

Mood: Better

Acne: (a little bit more than normal)

Body Aches: No

These products are great so far.

Overall ranking: So far some 8 out of 10 (Very good)

Overall I really like this stack, the NeoVar is by far the best CEE supp I have tried. So when compared to other CEE supps it get's a 8.5.

The IGF2 is am amzaing growth supp. so far strength, endurance and recuperation has increased without any sides. However, I saw the first sign of small sides today with an increase in acne (more than normal). but it's not bad right now. The IGF2 I have to give a 8.5 also when comapred to other test & GH supps. it is amazing.

I tried the RPM at two pills and felt nothing. In addition, it is possible the RPM cause the bit more acne increase today. I will try RPM again next week at either 3 or 4 pills and provide feedback.

[Apostle X]

So you take the IGF2 daily correct? How long does one bottle usually last? This stuff seems impressive.

[justlg]

Yup. Depends on your weight but at 9 pills a day a bottle lasts 27 days.

[justlg]

Day 17: 04/27/07

Weight: ????
BF: approx. ????

Leg Day:

Here is a quick breakdown of the routine:

Curl: 160, 167, 170 x 8 - 10
Calf raises: 340, 360, 400 x 8-10
cardio HIIT for 10 min.

My muscles are feeling so full

NC - stands for No Change

Weight: Down a bit?and losing BF

Sleep: Good

Strength: Up Some more

Endurance: Up some more

Aggression: NC

Appetite: NC

Libido: Normal

Pumps: A constant fullness of my muscles

Mood: Good

Acne: Increased

Body Aches: No

I am loving this stack but started having my first negative effect today, my acne has noticeably increased. Now I don't know if it is from the 2 RPM pills I took the other day or the IGF2. I will stop taking the RPM and see if it subsides. If my acne gets to bad I would stop IGF2 all together but I am pretty far from doing that because it has only moderately increased.

To me personally, having acne at 32 is not worth strength increases if I feel a noticable level of degredation in my self-esteem. My friends always say it isn't that bad but then again I am finicky.

[justlg]

Day 20: 05/01/07

Weight: weighing tonight, BF: ???

Libido: Normal

Pumps: OK

Recuperation: Up

Mood: Good

Acne: Was bad on friday but now a lot better.

Strength went down ans so did endurance lost about 4 to 5 reps on many exercises. I wonder if the NeoVar and IGF2 are losing their effects on me, pumps weren't as good either.

Overall I am very happy with this satck though, it is a solid muscle building recup stack and it's not under dosed.

Sweet- I figured it would- when you "plateau" out on a compound- you have two options- take time off, or up the dose
