STOKED! A log sponsered by Anabolic Innovations
BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com ![]() Get Stoked!!! 1. Would you like to increase testosterone and decrease estrogen naturally with NO steroids and NO prohormones? 2. Are you between cycles and/or looking for something natural to bridge until your next cycle? 3. Would you like something to increase muscle mass and strength naturally? 4. How about something which requires NO post cycle therapy and NO support supplements before during or after? 5. Would you like to increase libido and sexual function? **If you answered yes to 3 or more of the above then STOKED may be the product for you! * Increase Testosterone * Naturally Increases Sexual Function * Reduces Estrogen Trans-Resveratrol This compound is like sliced bread to the supplement industry. There are many different health benefits to come from resveratrol, but we picked it up for one in particular. Resveratrol is capable of modulating estrogenic receptors as well as controlling aromatase, giving it that One Two Punch for estrogen control.[2][3] Research has shown its estrogenic modulation capabilities to increase sperm production by stimulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. [1] Horny Goat Weed Horny Goat Weed (HWG) is a great source of the testosterone mimetic, Icariin. Research on Icariin has shown it to increase circulating testosterone levels as well as improve reproductive organs, making it a great therapeutic for hypoandrogenic states (like right after a steroids cycle). [4] On top of the testosterone mimetic capabilities of icariin, it also has some very interesting metabolites. In vivo research has shown icariin to metabolize into icaritin and desmethylicaritin. [5] What's great about these guys is the fact that (like resveratrol) are very strong estrogenic receptor antagonists. [6][7] Quercetin & Piperine Well we've got our pretty sick post cycle therapy stack going here, but there poses one small problem, and that's absorption and bioavailability. Icariin and Resveratrol do not have the greatest bioavailablity in all the land so we gave them a little help with Quercetin and Piperine. Quercetin is used because it is the most potent natural inbitor of estrone sulfanase which degrades compounds like resveratrol. [15] This makes not only aids in absorption, but enhances antiestrogenic activity. Piperine is another addition because it enhances the ability of your intestines to absorb nutrients and phytochemicals. [16] Additionally, piperine may also inhibit the glucuronidase enzyme, another enzyme which degrades resveratrol.[17] References: 1.trans-Resveratrol, a natural antioxidant from grapes, increases sperm output in healthy rats.

First off let me throw a plug to Anabolic Innovations for sponsoring the log. It's really great to see these guys putting their products out here to be reviewed. Be it known I have no affiliation with AI whatsoever, other than I'm a regular consumer of Life Cycle.
OK. As recommended I'll be taking four caps ed. Two in the morning and two in the evening. I finished a PCT for IDS Sustanon about a month ago so this product seems ideal for me. My normal supps will be taken as well and include: multi + an extra vitamin E fishoil turmeric CEE Whey Waximaise My workout regimine is a whole body routine, three times per week, usually M W F. I also try to get in three 30 min cardios (treadmill) on the others. Normally I totally slack on Sunday. I've been lifting for about three years. I've had problems with tennis elbow and my lower back. Go figger, I'm 45! I'm 185lbs and about 17-18% bf. I try to eat as clean as possible, usually around 3000 cal ed. Try to hit 50% carb, 30% protein, 20% fat. |

So today I started the cycle. Two caps at 0630. Didn't really feel anything for the first hour or so then I'm not sure if it was Stoked! or not but I found myself in a pretty good mood. Keep in mind, this is Monday morning! This lasted for most of the day. My workout started at 1530. Not a lot to report. Finished up and when I got home took the second two of the day at about 1730. All in all I had a pretty damn good day. Attributed to Stoked!? Well, we'll see, more to follow.

*lol* Since I'm doing a whole body routine every workout the legs get hit! I used to hate it but I've really grown to like doing legs. So much more gets worked at the sane time, like a two fer one deal! But I digress...
Probably the biggest thing I've noticed so far with Stoked! is it's effect on my libido. Well, you know the old saying about when the wind blows- that ain't far from the truth! A+ so far in this category. It seems I have had really good focus in the gym also and an elevated sense of 'well being'. I've just felt good and been in a good mood since Monday (cycle day 1). I haven't noticed any strength inreases, but I would have ben surprised at that right now anyway. Also no weight increase or noticeable body comp changes (I know, it's only day 3!). I had to skip cardio yesterday and did it today after my workout. I got through it no problem and I have to admit I was dreading it a little. One other thing, no negative sides at all so far. That's it for now, more to follow! ![]() |

I either missed the whole body workout thing or I got so excited about doing legs that it just skipped my mind
![]() Cool to hear that you're already feeling some of the good stuff. |

Day 5. "sense of well being'/mood is still outstanding. Libido sky high! Got a great workout in today and also went through another cardio. Seems like my stamina is better for the cardio. Haven't noticed any weight change but I'm really not eating enough to be making weight increases. Haven't seen an increase in strength yet. Pumps are great as mentioned before. No change in % body fat. Caveat on the body fat- I'm taking that reading with a Tanita scale so 'grain of salt' on that measurement!

Day 8 morning. Didn't get a chance to log yesterday but results are still the same. Elevated (!) libido and mood seem to remain pretty much constant. I'm up a couple of pounds today but my wieght can vary that much sometimes in a day. Will see if it remains. No change in % bf. Haven't really seen any strength increase so far. Stamina does seem better. All in all I'm enjoying this product so far.

How would you say the mood effects are does it boost mood a great deal? Are you getting any sides at all?

The mood effects or 'sense of well being' are, without a doubt, outstanding. I have been under a lot of stress lately and I can honestly tell you there is a BIG difference in how I am handling things. It is very noticeable.
Sides with this product are non-existent so far. Well I take that back. No negative sides anyway. I'm not sure yet if it's Stoked! or not but my appetite seems to have increased. I've never had a problem sticking to my diet regimine and the last couple of days I've found myself hungry again after my last meal in the evening. This could be a big plus... will keep an eye on that and report more about it later. |

The STOKED! definitely made me more hungry when I was using it. I didn't have any cravings though, I was just hungry all of the time.
