cAMPHIBOLIC
Night time ThermoBolic

USPlabs has ventured into a territory no other supplement company could imagine. Our innovative research teams developed cAMPHIBOLIC, which is the first non-stimulant based thermogenic that's actually works! Beyond cAMPHIBOLIC's thermogenic properties, cAMPHIBOLIC was the first product to halt muscle catabolism that occurs during dieting. USPlabs has tweaked the cAMPHIBOLIC formula into the first NightTime Thermobolic. Yes, A product that will trick the body into using fat for fuel instead of glycogen and protein while increasing thermogenisis at night! cAMPHIBOLIC will shift the ratio of fat to carbohydrate for use as fuel towards fat burning. This helps preserve glycogen and skeletal muscle, which would otherwise be relied upon more heavily for fuel without cAMPHIBOLIC.
By mobilizing fat, will make even more fat available as a fuel source, sparing more glycogen and muscle. The thyroid stimulating effect will further elevate RMR, leading to greater fat burning. By Blocking cortisol will help to preserve muscle tissue as well. An anabolic effect due to increased release of gonadotropins, as well as up regulation cholesterol transport into the testes, where it is converted to testosterone. Finally, a benzodiazepine-like anxiolytic effect that will doubtless promote sleep.


C2
Thermobolic Cognative Stimulant

C2 is a uniquely designed blend of compounds designed to increase fat burning, improve athletic performance, enhance cognitive functioning, enhance recovery, adapt to stress, improve sex drive, promote anabolism of muscle tissue and helps the body adapt to stress. C2 is the only product that increases work capacity without the threat of over-training. We are not preaching 4 hour a day workouts. Your workout will have an intensity as if you had surplus calories. You will not dread tomorrow's workout and the experience becomes enjoyable and full of results!


Cissus RX
Promotes Speedy Healing

Cissus Quadrangularis has been a staple of traditional Indian medicine for centuries. USPlabs researchers discovered the power of this unique herbal remedy and have now made it available to Western athletes and bodybuilders, or anyone else who wants to strengthen muscle and bone. Its unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and plant sterol compounds not only build and strengthen muscle and bone, but actually helps deliver nutrients to tendon related injuries, while at the same time soothe the pain of sports related injuries.


Symmetry X
Anabolic Activator

The first ingredient is Hydroxl4. Hydroxyl4 is a specialized extract of Cissus Quadrangularis. With extensive real world, university (India) research, and lots of research money, we extracted then concentrated 4 highly active Hrdroxyl keto sterones from cissus Quadrangularis for its pure anabolic nature.

Thadigaddalu is the second ingredient. The beauty our research team in India that can research with the locals on old tribal remedies. Thadigaddalu is a root used by a village in India for over 100 years to treat hormone imbalances like infertility and lack of sex drive. Thadigaddalu is said to balance and prime all hormones in the body to work much more efficiently especially during times of stress. Thadigaddalu is an adaptagen that works through hormone signaling! Basically it will supercharge your hormone system Naturally!

THE BLAPMEISTER

Age:
25

Sex:
Male

Height:
5’6

Weight:
76kg (167.2lbs)

Body Type:
Ecto/Meso

Body Fat
12.1% (7 point calliper test). In actuality I’d estimate 14-15%, but I’ll stick with calliper measurements in order to maintain consistency.

Training experience:
grew up as a cross country runner. I had dumbbells in my room as a teenager, but would definitely NOT consider this serious training. Made the transition to serious weights over 2 years ago. The first year was spent training hard with little understanding of what I was doing. The 18 months or so has been spent training smart, eating right and learning as much as I can.


Current Lifting Program:
I’m currently on the Spytech Hybrid Strength and Hypertrophy Training Program (periodized over 4 weeks). As of the start of this log I’ll be at the start of week 6 of this program.

Current Cardio Program:
10-15 minute sessions at the end of each weight training session.

One 30-45 minute jog on the weekends.

Having run competitive cross country events in the past running is part of my life. Although I have not run as part of a team in years I still (try) to run competitively a couple of times a year- distances up to 10k.


Present/Continuing Supplementation:
Bulk Whey Protein Concentrate
Bulk Milk Protein Concentrate
Fish Oil caps
Multivitamin
Bulk CEE
Bulk Citrulline Malate
Vitamin C-Ester
Vitamin B5 powder
Bulk Leucine
Xtend
SAN R-Ala


Supplement History:

Creatine monohydrate/ Creapure/ Micronised/ Creatine Citrate - tried various brand with varying doses/schedules and never noticed any benefits whatsoever. I have found this to be EXTREMELY frustrating.

Creatine Malate/ CEE- seems to work well for me. Improved recovery, strength gain and increased (water) weight.

Glutamine- tried it, noticed nothing.

BCAA’s- noticed improved endurance and some improved recovery, although my doses weren’t huge.

Vit C- gives me diarrhoea in the smallest doses when supplemented! I seem to be fine on Vitamin C-Ester.

NO- I have tried various NO precursor products now and have found little to impress me in terms of cost-effectiveness. Low-responder.

ZMA- found it extremely difficult to fall asleep whilst taking ZMA (up to 2 hours) no matter the brand. One I was asleep, the quality of sleep of sleep was good. Never tried it other than pre-bedtime.

Stims- I seem to be a heavy non-responder when it comes to most stims. See my Ongoing Stimulant Review for product specifics.


Prescription/Recreational Drug Use/History:
None. I don’t drink or smoke.

Goals:
Over The Next Month: Ideally I’m looking to change from a bulking diet to a recomp over the next period. Ideally I will lose bf whilst maintaining (or improving) lean mass.


Long Term: Reach 185lbs at a comfortable 10% bf. I have a long term girlfriend and I’m not really looking to impress anyone. I have no desire to compete and I’m not really the ‘top off’ kinda person. I lift because I enjoy it, but moving from a cross country fit 120lbs to 160lbs+ in 2 years has been a challenge.

My goals will probably change once I reach them but at the moment I’m not looking beyond that 180lb mark. At a teeny tiny 5’6 I should be filled out quite nicely!


Previous Logs:
I have kept a personal training log ever since I first started lifting 2+ years ago.

DAY 1
3rd April 2006
Back, Traps, Biceps, Forearms
(Baseline week- 16 sets)



ADDITIONAL DAILY SUPPLEMENTS:
6g CEE
6g Citrulline Malate
10g Leucine
BCAA’s (1 serving Xtend)


SLEEP:
(Obviously) I wasn’t on this stack yesterday so last night was definitely what I’d call a ‘typical’ night. Went to be a little late and fell asleep effortlessly. I had a nice dream or two, although I have no idea what about now. Very restful, didn’t wake up once for anything. Had to get up early to that, combined with my late night, meant a total ~6 hours in the sack. I usually get 8.


STRENGTH:
Pretty good. All of my exercises in the gym were bang on with where I’d want them to be- or better, with one exception. For the first time in 5 weeks I dropped a rep on a set of cables curls, which was pretty disappointing. I’m not sure what I’d contribute this to- it just happened.

Like I said, everything else was great. My back is growing in strength like crazy (and was doing do way prior to this stack) and that continued today. Deadlifts felt friggin amazing. I wanted to up the weight to a new PR but since I’ve only just started this ‘Baseline week’ I decided I’ll wait a week.


RECOVERY:
Coming into the week I felt great. No soreness or fatigue to speak of.

Inter-set recovery was pretty average.


AGRESSION:
A weird one. I was in an unstoppably great mood all morning/afternoon which was very odd. This actually made psyching myself up in the gym a little difficult. I’ll expand on this further down. Therefore, I’d have to note ‘aggression’ as being lower than normal.


ENDURANCE:
No change except for the dropped rep.


LIBIDO:
I’ve actually had a slightly lowered libido this past week or so. It hasn’t really bothered me since I won’t see my girlfriend for another 5 weeks or so. There was no change in that today.


ENERGY/FOCUS:
About 25 mins after taking my morning dose I suddenly felt very clear in the head and my mood gradually improved (this was actually on the walk to the gym). Middway through my workout I noticed a I was in a great mood! Normally I’d say I’m pretty ‘mood-less’ in the gym- meaning I forget about anything and focus on the job (or iron) in hand. Today I couldn’t help humming to the radio playing and I actually found myself swaying to some of the beats- which NEVER happens. Actually, this made it very difficult to psyche myself up for some of my lifts and to summon up that aggression.

Whilst my mood was certainly enhanced and my clarity of thought improved, my actual ‘energy’ levels were unchanged… if that makes any sense.

About 90 mins after my middle-of-the-day fill of capsules I actually felt a bit of a drop in energy and felt kinda sleepy. Battled through it and it subsided after 45 mins or so.


PUMPS:
Pumps in my lower back were mild and short lived, which is typical. Pumps in my forearms were non-existent which, again, is normal for a relatively low volume workout. Pumps in my biceps were slightly above normal, especially given the relatively low volume workout. Nothing mind blowing my any means though.

The one other thing to note is that I did a 15 minute stint of interval training on the old stationary bike- the first 5 minutes of which were particularly difficult as I developed pumps in my quads. I managed to work through it but it definitely wasn’t ideal.

-------------------------

THE DAY:
Good day all in all. After hitting the gym I kinda dragged my feet on the way home (mainly due to the continuing pumps in my legs). As a result I came within an inch (literally) of turning my ankle over and spraining it walking up a step. Now that would’ve pissed me off!

I have been in a great mood most of the day- but particularly so just before, during and in the 4-5 hours after my workout.

Gulping down 28 extra pills a day is definitely gonna take some getting used to- but I’m still alive thus far so as long as I wake up tomorrow I think that’ll be the psychological battle won!

By the way- as you can see I’ve included subheadings for each element this stack advertises (and can be analysed on a daily basis). If anyone can think of anything else they’d like to see me look at, or anything to remove feel free to suggest away!

Thanks! Glad you found the log so early on!

I'll try and focus, I think my enhanced mood took me a bit by suprise so was a little much for me to deal with on day one. I'll definately 'concentrate on focusing' tomorrow- if that makes any sense...

My gym is underground. I haven't seen a woman there in 3 weeks. 75% of the clientele are Eastern European powerlifters. I go home each and every day with rust stains on my clothing...


... but ok

[T h E o R e M]

your only goin to dose the SYM and PowerFull at 4 pills on off days? reason?

[jaymode]

Sweet log man. Stack looks crazy, looking forward to the results.

[Blap Blaow]

Conservation. Otherwise I'd eat through this stack in a heartbeat.

[HYPEBEAST]

How long is the stack?

[Blap Blaow]

How long is the stack?

about 46 centimetres end to end.

[SoCool]

Looking good. I'm starting something similar next week. Powerful, symmetry, some cissus (already just started), camph. Avena/trib and some ADT for the first half. Also citruline, cellfuel (bulk) and glycergrow. Not exactly sure how I'm gonna dose but, it's coming together in my head. I heard you mention conservation, how many bottles of each do you have? How long is this gonna last? What do you or USP think of staggering doses like alot of trib/herbal products recommend? 5 days on 2 days off? 6 on 1 off? It could extend the product another week or so.

[dtrain13]

LMFAO!

BTW whats that in American? Oh and what is the duration of your cycle?

[Blap Blaow]

How long is the stack?

Oh and what is the duration of your cycle?

ok- I have 1 bottle C2, 1 bottle cAMPHIBOLIC, 1 bottle Symmetry, 1 bottle Cissus and 1½ bottles PowerFULL allocated to this stack/log.

At my dosing schedule, and working out 4 times a week it should stretch to 4 weeks (with the exception of the Cissus).

1½ PowerFULL ----> 4 weeks
1 Cissus ----------> 3 weeks
1 Symmetry ------> 4 weeks
½ C2 ------------> 4 weeks
½ cAMPHIBOLIC -> 4 weeks

Pretty much straight after that I'll continue on with my remaining 1½ bottles of PowerFULL and run ActivaTe alongside it for 4 weeks (maybe the cAMPHIBOLIC too- yet to decide). Planning to log that too.

[Blap Blaow]

What do you or USP think of staggering doses like alot of trib/herbal products recommend? 5 days on 2 days off? 6 on 1 off? It could extend the product another week or so.

Actually, I like that idea. It would also be particularly useful in conserving the Symmetry and PowerFULL which are the more expensive additions to the stack.

Thoughts Mr USPLabs?

I usually take sundays off of all supplements and I really do not see a problem in taking 2 day off and effecting the final outcome. Once you start the stack, you will find it difficult not to take the caps.

Yes but make sure the 2 days are off days!

sounds perfect- thanks for clearing that up so speedily

In that case I think I may go for Sunday as a complete off day.
