Hey guys checking in. Wanted to give this thread a little bump so it doesn't get forgotten about.
This stuff is great all around so far, in and out of the gym from what I've experienced. I haven't had much gym time unfortunately and will be working hard to get in there and make this log really shine here in the next few weeks! Still busy with buying a home, tons of running around before work, waking up early, blah blah blah! Cannot wait to move though, it'll all be worth it soon.
Being 8 days in, I still have 22 days with the chemical to get in the gym and tear it up! I'm really contemplating buying my own 30 days worth to extend this log longer! I love the way it makes me feel, the energy I have on it, the extra capacity to push through during workouts, it's all great! Can't wait to see bloodwork for my Cholesterol levels, just a couple more weeks.
Some of the maybe unknown-to-some information about GW that I've recently learned. Just random facts here from a video I recently watched by Dylan Gemelli.
-It was banned by the world anti-doping association back in 2009 because it was dramatically increasing the performance of endurance athletes.
-It was developed originally to help individuals with cholesterol problems. Lowering LDL's and Raising HDL's.
-It's non-catabolic, so while in a caloric deficit, GW will promote muscle sparing. Perfect when a cut will generally require the user to sacrifice some muscle!
-Dramatic increases in cardiovascular endurance, and muscular endurance.
-Increases rate of recovery.
-Changes your body's primary source of energy from carbohydrates to fats. Has been proposed as a chemical to use for fighting obesity because of this supposedly. This obesity fighting stuff is broscience imo, as a caloric deficit will fight obesity just as well. Fats just happen to contain the most calories per gram, and per physical amount of food in most cases.
If you want to watch the video on GW yourself, check out Dylan Gemelli on Youtube, he's rather informative and I've enjoyed the few videos I've watched so far.
