Bump-A-Roni…
Anyone?
Trying it out now. I’ll get back to you.
So if the mechanism of action is a PPAR-gamma agonist - works by bringing GLUT-4 to the surface of cell (which allows glucose to be stored in the cell) then this is VERY similar to the diabetic drug Actos.
However, it is somehow selective to only muscle cells???
How is that possible???
If it is, then you’d have a billion dollar drug on your hands. As the only drawback to Actos in treating diabetes is the weight gain, swelling, edema, etc…this would be a GIANT pharmacological acheivement…
I am a tad skeptical
I tried it as the claimed mechanisms were interesting. And if it were so, we want to know when things work.
I didn’t see a point in trying it with maintenance calories / normal carbs as those carbs are not going to fat anyway and so net increase in delivery to muscles from the supplement makes zero sense in that situation, I would say.
I also didn’t see much point in seeing what would happen with moderate increase in carbs and calories.
So, especially as it’s claimed “I challenge you to get fat when using this!” I knocked up carbs just as much as if I were doing a steroid cycle (I was not using the juice.)
The immediate gain of weight that I attributed to increased stored glycogen and glycogen-associated water was impressive. However, this was more carbs than I ever consumed non-juiced so there was no reference point at that point in time.
I most certainly did get fat, and rapidly. Took me weeks to diet it off.
I repeated the experiment doing everything the same but without the product. To my surprise, the immediate weight gain was not the slightest bit less.
So I learned something new, that (over the extreme short term, just a couple of days) as much glycogen can be packed into the muscles in my case without the juice as with it (though when juiced it can also be done with more moderate carbs.)
Overall everything seemed identical. I terminated it more quickly on account of not wanting to get needlessly fat again, as the point was adequately proven.
I tried the product again but this time with a diet exactly as I would ordinarily use for intended optimum training results, accepting slow fat gain, when not juiced. Results were nothing unusual.
An I think obvious problem with the theory of the thing is when the muscles are less than full with glycogen then driving carbs into them at an unusually fast rate is a good thing. But, once they are genuinely full of glycogen, that’s it.
As an analogy, when your car is short on gas, it might be nice to use a gas pump that fills twice as fast. But that gas pump ain’t get a single ounce more than the maximum into your car. And if you keep pulling on the handle, the gas is going to go somewhere else – on the ground – once the tank is full.
So even if the product does allow getting carbs into muscle faster, once they’re full, ain’t nothin’ more gonna happen, and there is nothing about this that is going to allow eating more calories without getting fat.
Once the muscles are glycogen-full, the glucose has nowhere to go but to fat. It’s not going to breathed out, sweated out, urinated out (except in trace amounts if you have diabetes) or find any other way out. If it can’t be burned now, and can’t be stored as glycogen now due to stores being already-filled, it will be stored as fat.
The product undoubtedly inspired many to eat more carbs by taking away (in many cases wrongly, perhaps in some cases not wrongly as these people perhaps could have been consuming more carbs all along but did not know it) the fear of fat gain from those added carbs.
Well, I don’t know that it’s impossible for something to increase the maximum amount of storage that is possible.
I used to think in my own case that androgens did.
My experiment with this product and then with no relevant supplementation but with higher carbs than I’d used before led me to conclude in my own case that neither this supplement nor androgens increased the amount of glycogen and glycogen-associated water weight gain relative to only having the quite large amount of carbs.
Androgen use allows that high level of filling to occur with more moderate intake of carbs. But at least in my case, doesn’t allow a greater increase. (In my case, incidentally, the increase is quite reliably 9 lb of such weight.)
But even if something did increase the total glycogen storage capacity, once that is full, yet further carbs beyond what the body can burn at the time of reaching the bloodstream can then only go to fat.
The claim that it’s impossible or really hard to do to get fat while using the supplement product in question just does not make sense and certainly wasn’t true in my case.
Hey since reading over all these reviews i am getting more an more keen on the (yellow caps) but i still am waiting on more feedback about the (red caps) as they are stronger they have my interest and i dont wanna go jumping the gun if the (red caps) are better. By what i have read the yellow caps seem to promote a huge appetite and body pumps but haven’t had much effect on size, this could be cause it keeps you lean. To be honest im looking for something that promotes the testosterone and that hypo alertness feeling.
Do they red ones have the same effect as the yellow? If so how are they different? And has anyone felt they have any effect on ones testosterone?
USP Jack3d is the best pre-workout supplement ever in terms of ‘focus’,Spike is the best supplement in terms of ‘energy’, Yes i get more energy from 2 pills of Spike than i do with 2 scoops of Jack3d, but i don’t have the same focus as I do with Jack3d.
I’ve been on Anabolic Pump for a week and no jokes the other day I saw myself in the mirror, it looks like I’ve dropped some fat. Now I’m not sure if anabolic pump is the cause of this, but i wouldn’t be surprised my friend claimed that even with a not so good diet he actually still lost fat with it.
I think i might get all the USP products soon at a cheap cheap price =)
