Here is a nice summarized review of Mass FX by Anabolic Xtreme

MASS FX Review

Size - 7/10

While I believe that MassFX helped me add some size, I feel that its biggest impact is on strength. To me, X-Factor really was the “size-supplement” and MassFX was more geared towards my strength increases. Obviously by association with strength increases, it was a factor in my size gains though.

Strength - 10/10

I started taking this stuff, and from day 4-5 onward, I was hitting a PR EVERY TIME I HIT THE GYM! Absolutely killer in the strength department. The effects were pretty constant from the end of the first week until the last day. I didn’t seem to have any bad workouts.

Agression - 9/10

Now, this is the good agression. The agression where you pick up the weights and you never want to put them down. I had to force myself out of the gym. I was taking less time in-beween sets and ripping out sets like nothing. This definitely gives you that added kick in the gym.

Endurance - 8.5/10

I was pretty suprised about this. Not only was endurance up in weight training, but cardio as well. Cardio was a breeze. During weight training, I would seemingly have just as much strength on my first set as my last of the workout. When you are hitting PR’s at the start and finish of your workout, something is going VERY VERY RIGHT!!

Other - 10/10

Other than the above mentioned effects, MASS-FX had some awesome unexpected effects. First, I was getting some of the best sleep of my LIFE. This is at college too, so it was really helping me all around. Also, due in part to the sleep, recovery was MUCH improved. These aspects of MASS-FX cannot be overlooked, as they certainly help in achieving a great body.

Side Effects - 10/10

All I saw was a bit of chest acne…That is it!!

Other Notes

I took this with X-factor and I believe that this stack is on of the best possible combos on the market right now. The combo of size and strength was incredible. I put on 13 pounds in 50 days!!

Before and After Pics

This was just released a few days ago. Not much to go on in terms of reviews yet but give it some time.

BLUE PRINT features what may very well be The Holy Grail of SupplementsTM Agmatine. As a metabolic byproduct of Arginine, Agmatine goes beyond Arginine and works its wonders by stimulating the release of pituitary hormones such as Leutinizing Hormone (LH) and Growth Hormone (GH). Agmatine also demonstrates insulin like properties. Other proposed roles of Agmatine are in cardiovascular biology as it can modulate heart; brain and vasculature function via its effects on calcium homeostasis as well as modulating the synthesis of NO. Agmatine may even alter pain thresholds, is neuroproective and is an intermediate in polyamine biosynthesis. All of this, giving Agmatine legitimate stake as the true Holy Grail of Supplements!

BLUEPRINT also integrates R-ALA (r-alpha-lipoic-acid) with Agmatine because it is one of the best and most complete antioxidants known to MAN and it is also a very effective supplement for improving insulin response/sensitivity, making it an ideal compliment to the anabolic and ergogenic effects of Agmatine.

For a more fit body, fuller muscles and greater strength and performance, SET IT OFF with BLUEPRINT.

Question #1

Q: Am I right in saying that Agmatine, amongst many other things, inhibits monoamine oxidase? If I am right, then which one does it inhibit, alpha or beta? And how potent of a MAO inhibitor is it?

A: There is, in effect, a LOW affinity for the MAO, and this is A > B as depicted in the slide show above. This idea contributes, in part to its suggested antidepressant/anxiolytic activities, which could help with cortisol control in the long run for the bodybuilder. Because it has been shown to suggest only a low affinity, it is thought that the other contributing mechanisms (as suggested in the slide show) also play part on the effect seen.

——————-

Question #2

Q: Do I need to take 1 serving daily or can I take it only on workout days?

A: While this is more a question for the second part of the slide show series, some of you will be embarking on taking this before it is released as Blue Print is in stock. That said, I will respond that the supplement should be taken daily on both workout and non-workout days for now.

——————–

Question #3

Q: What do they mean when they say that one of its effects is activation of constitutive nitric oxide synthase? And in light of all this, how does this bode for those taking Blueprint and Body Octane? Would the Blueprint nullify some of the NO effects of Body Octane?

A: As I have hopefully depicted in the slide show, NOT all NOS production is created equal. The essential fate of three types of which have predominantly been discussed in Agmatine research. Constitutive NOS (cNOS) is essentially that which is genetically programmed. Barring everything else left static, there will still be a baseline production rate based on this mechanism.

Although another question moreso better suited for the second half of the slide show, but again due to people likely starting to take the stack – I find an answer to be imperative. Due to essential regulatory control of the various polyamines and enzymatic breakdown pathways, the two could and should actually play synergistic roles.

Body Octane is NOT an arginine product, but it does have citrulline malate in it, I encourage you to look at both of my pictorial slides on endogenous production in this first slide show and see how you are essentially bypassing NO production and with it, likely exerting some antioxidant protection, but at the same time…you will still experience some of the perceptual “pumps” and they should be longer-lasting, without precipitous impact from the short-half life of something like NO.

When the regulatory controls kick back in, NO will be back in place through endogenous metabolism and you will see additional pumps extended out for prolonged periods.

——————–

Question #4

Q: With the limited number of bottles available for this first run, would it be wise for me to wait for the board member discount?

A: As you have likely received email notification by now, there is a limited time offer (1 week) for MAN-UP discussion board members to receive up to 3 bottles of Blue Print for $30 each (a $19.95 savings over the MSRP per bottle of $49.95).

——————–

Question #5

Q: Has J-Rod or anyone else used the product yet, and if so, what results were seen? Should I mix up a serving of BO and then use it to wash down the Blueprint before I eat breakfast? Also, how long should one wait between taking BO or Blueprint and eating?

A: Raid-fire response to the questions you offered above:

(1) Anyone used it: Yes
(2) Response: Subjectively favorable
(3) Take Blue Print in the AM on an empty stomach (we will define this as first thing in the AM, have it sitting by the side of the bed with water. Allow for appropriate absorption and transit which may be about 20 or 30 minutes…get showered of come to the MAN-UP discussion board to check on the latest while you are waiting to eat).

White Flood from Controlled labs has just been released. Reviews have already been favorable. Here is a little information.

“What is White FLOOD™ ?

White Flood™ is a cutting edge preworkout formula that will rev you up for lifting and cardio like none other. Not only will you experience out of this world pumps, but tons of extra energy and true muscle building potential. That muscle building potential comes from the addition of compounds usually not seen in preworkout formulas of the past. We have also included potent anti-oxidants to scavenge any free radicals normally elicited by Nitric Oxide inducing ingredients. It’s time to FLOOD YOUR SYSTEM…. with the most advanced preworkout Nitric Oxide and Energy Enhancer available; White Flood™!

549 Grams (1.21 Pounds) Electric Lemonade Powder”

Key Attributes:

- Endurance and extreme pumps
- Nutrient delivery and recovery
- Carb Free
- Ephedra / Ephedrine Free
- Stimulate neurons
- Enhanced creatine utilization

From the makers of White BLOOD™, CONTROLLED LABS is proud to present: WHITE FLOOD™

FLOOD your system for PEAK performance!

Arginine and Ornithine have been shown to enhance the natural anabolic effects of weightlifting, and even promote greater strength gains within weeks!! In the White Flood™ formula, potent doses of Arginine and Ornithine are delivered bonded to an ester and combined with Norvaline (potent arginase inhibitor), enhancing the absorption and simultaneously prolonging the effects of both compounds. With this controlled delivery system, these compounds can pass through the digestive system intact and deliver incredible pumps and vasodilation. As a bonus, this formula is highly effective in preventing an increase in blood ammonia during training and when combined with GABA, it may also have a somatostatin suppressing effect (leading to an increase in natural growth hormone production).

GABA is an important neurotransmitter that has been used for years as an ergogenic aid. When combined with the stimulants in our exclusive formula, users report a very unique effect that must be experienced to believe, due to enhanced neuron firing in the brain. Users report focused, relaxed, energy without the jitters often associated with stimulant use. GABA has also been shown to boost post-workout growth hormone levels and enhance fat metabolism (more research is needed on the exact mechanism of action).

Anecdotal feedback from power-lifters and strength athletes indicates that Inosine, a precursor to adenosine, may improve training during peak intensity (improving explosiveness and power) by enhancing the regeneration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and enhancing oxygen utilization. It may even benefit the endurance athlete allowing for easier release of oxygen from the blood cells to the tissues leading to performance enhancement. As a bonus, it may also act as a natural anti-inflammatory.

Glucuronolactone is a powerful naturally occurring compound that has been shown to increase focus and concentration, help fight fatigue, and improve mood while providing an instant energy boost. Combined with GABA and caffeine, you have the perfect combination to take your intense workouts to the next level.

Octacosanol is a 28 carbon long-chain saturated primary alcohol naturally occurring in sugarcane wax, spinach and wheat germ (the Octacosanol in White Flood™ is from sugarcane wax). Popeye must have been onto something because studies suggest that octacosanol has potent ergogenic properties including the sparing of muscle glycogen stores and increasing the oxidative capacity of muscles. As a bonus, it may help maintain optimal cholesterol levels.

Vanadyl Sulfate is a potent insulin-mimetic that promotes glycogen synthesis, helps maintain blood glucose levels, and may stimulate muscle anabolism by forcing more nutrients directly into the muscles.

Beta-Alanine helps to increase aerobic efficiency, enhance oxygen transport, and reduce lactic acid accumulation in the muscle tissue. Many users also experience a tingling sensation from this compound that revs them up for their workout.

Tyrosine works synergistically with Caffeine and other ingredients to help boost your focus and stamina.

To put this formula over the top, we added Potassium Gluconate (which most closely resembles the potassium found naturally in fruit) and naturally occurring ergogenics like Theobromine, Evodiamine, and Vinpocetine that increase blood circulation and nutrient delivery, enhance focus and oxygen flow, and improve athletic performance. We also included natural antioxidants to aid recovery and reduce oxidative (and other) damage to DNA.

It’s time to FLOOD YOUR SYSTEM…. with the most advanced preworkout Nitric Oxide and Energy Enhancer available; White Flood™!”

First Reviews

“I just want evryone to know thath white flood is one of the best products ive taken in a long time my girlfriend even likes it. I bought a bottle of superpump250 and hated it so I got white flood and to say the least it rocks my world thanks for making **** that works controlled labs!”

“Product Comments: So I took a one scoop serving last night, about 45 minutes before the workout. I think I should find a way to take this during my first set or closer to the start of my training because the effects are almost instant.
I have never used an NO2 supplement like this one, the pumps were great, almost instant. There was a slight euphoric feeling that came over me shortly after taking it. I felt a slight tingling sensation with this product as well. It really provided energy for me during my workout last night and I could really see it helping on those days were I am really run down from my combo of morning cardio and a low carb diet.

One concern I had was taking it around 5:00 pm and possibly having it effect my ability to get right to sleep later on at night. It ended up having no effect at all on my ability to fall asleep or my sleep patterns. So far so good.

Taste & Mixability: Tastes like sweet lemonade, very similar to Crystal Light. Very easy to drink. Mixes very easily with a spoon and would easily mix with a shaker.”
