Alright, this is my first time using multiple Universal supps. I've used Natural Sterol Complex before and tried some others, but after losing a ton of weight and getting into what most people would call decent shape, I really want to get big and strong, so I've been trying some different products to help that along (combined with diet and a good workout program, of course).
Today I started a stack consisting of Pump, Stak, and M-Stak. I work out first thing in the morning, so I'm getting up, eating a very small meal (just to get myself going), and then taking Stak (about 45 minutes pre-workout), fixing lunch to bring to work (during the week, or checking email and such on the weekend), taking Pump (about 30 minutes pre-workout), then getting ready and heading to the gym. I'll be taking M-Stak around lunch time (5-6 hours after working out). I'm also using a multi-vitamin, intra- and post-workout supps, and protein that I've found to be my favorites.
I can't say anything about M-Stak yet, since I haven't even had a chance to take it (not lunch time yet!). I'll comment a little bit on my initial feelings about the others. You should know that today was an endurance/cardio day for me, so there wasn't any lifting involved, but to me the week begins on Sunday, so that's always when I start my cycles. I actually felt that it let me get a great read on the energy factor. I've tried several pre-workout supps, and had varying amounts of success. There is one in particular that I like A LOT, but with this first dose of Pump, I think it may have a competitor. I know that most say the real Pump impact doesn't kick in for a couple weeks, but the way the energy hit today - smooth and sustained - was great for a long cardio session. An explosion of energy feels great, but it always seems to dissipate quickly as well, and in the worst cases, "crash," as I'm sure most have experienced. This didn't happen this morning, and an hour after finishing 6.32 miles, I'm still energized. Also, though I didn't lift this morning, my arms are very vascular, especially for a cardio day, and especially for this long after the workout. I'm guessing this could be from the combination of the pump complexes in both Stak and Pump. Either way, I like it, and I can't wait to see what it does tomorrow when I work chest, calves, and abs.
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with my appetite and gains with M-Stak as well as strength with Stak. Let me know if there are any questions you have, as I'm very interested in any feedback from all of you guys on here, since compared to a lot of you, I'm still new to all of this!
