View Full Version : G on "Z"



G Diesel
12-16-09, 9:40 am
Pumped to test the first new Animal product in a while. Yesterday was my day one as J-Dawg hooked me up with a special early batch of the good stuff.

This is the kind of recovery product that I've always been looking for as I feel it places emphasis on one of the most critical opportunities for new growth and over the years I've kind of just pieced together my own homebrew version of something comparable, but I've gotta say, nothing I've put together compares to the profile on "Z". This shit is awesome.

I took the "Z" last night a couple of hours after training legs and I notice that my typical soreness is not as bad as usual thus far. It is way early in the game, so it is tough for me to gauge the effects just yet, but we're off to a good start no doubt. Will keep you guys updated as I progress.

I know I can only get so specific, but if you guys have questions, hit me and I'll see what I can get away with answering as we bend the confidentiality rules. Don't want to leave you fellas in the dark completely when it comes to something so new that I'm really, genuinely excited about.

Peace, G

Depends on what time of day you train.


What's the diet and the rest of the supps looking like for this...???

The usual. Trying to get in maximum clean, high protein calories with some reasonable cheating.

As for the supps... Pak, Omega, Nitro and some Universal aminos and protein. Plus some SP goodies. Just the basics, nothing fancy.

im all about alleviating leg soreness:
typically whats level of soreness (1-10) do you get and for how many days?
how much has Z already, if any, helped to reduce the intensity or the duration of the soreness?

Leg soreness is my main reason for having any interest in this product. Mine are at about a 7 on the pain scale 2 days after and it lasts for up to 5 days.

Leg soreness is my main reason for having any interest in this product. Mine are at about a 7 on the pain scale 2 days after and it lasts for up to 5 days.

Soreness changes from week to week often based on what kind of intensity techniques I used or if I included different exercises, so it is tough to gauge. Unless I do something extreme, I'm rarely sore for 5 days like you report, but it may be because I tend to take a lot of aminos. I'm 2 days out from my leg session and I'm probably a 5 out of 10, which isn't too bad.

Will be interesting to see how my chest feels in the days following Friday.

So far so good after 2 days on Z.

Always a good strategy for recovery... They are the building blocks after all. Ya can't rebuild the house without the right bricks.

Been under the weather for 2 days now, so I'm doing my best to rest and recuperate. Will be trying to get back in the gym tonight.

I'm using Z to the best of my ability to help bolster my immunity and fight whatever bug I've got. Seems to be yet another potential benefit.

Hey G, I'd like to run my supps by you and let me know if I'm outta whack on any. I'm taking Test and Pump pre-workout followed by Nitro and Uni-Liver post-workout, Pak and Omega around noon, finishing with Pak and Flex approx six in the evening. Any suggestions to the contrary are welcome.

So I take it you're training in the AM bro? It all looks really solid, maybe just a matter of preference.

Were I you, I might do Test and Pump preworkout, Nitro post with some whey and simple carbs, Pak and Omega with my first whole food meal, a couple Uni-Liver with each meal and then do Flex and a second Omega pack in the evening if you can swing it. Unless your diet is super strict or you're doing crazy training like double sessions or hours of cardio per day, one pack of Pak should be just fine.

Those are just some minor tweaks based on my personal tastes, otherwise you look like you're doing just fine with your own strategy.

Yep no doubt bro. I think the strategic employment of Z might be the route I go, using it specifically when my recovery is compromised by factors like insufficient sleep, too many back to back training days, double sessions, etc. This is a killer secret weapon for periods when your training is on full blast and you just can't recover as quickly as you'd like--which for many of us is too fucking often. Haha.
