Plus, if I lose anything on top, that's fine cause I gain quick.

Babs, I'm sure you already mentioned this somewhere but save me the trouble of reading through 1000 posts and tell me how you hurt your knee?

Firestorm..thanks for saying that....

honesty is best and, we most certainly do not want anyone to send false feedback.

However, I'd still like to know how much you weigh and if you're drinking 16oz of water with it.

 

[Var]

I only weigh 160. If I need to take a higher dose at my weight, I'd rather switch back to a product that worked for me with a normal dose.

 

[BabsieGirl]

Well few Var...I'm sorry it's not working for you....


Are you getting anything from SwoleV.2

Again Var I agree with you.I have still not noticed anything.As far as pump its almost nothing compared to V12.I am thinking of trying plasma expandor next.Just for the record i drink it with 16 onces of water and drink over 100 ounces a day and my weight is 170.I think I will try the 1 1/2 scoops.

Hey Var, you don't need to explain. we start these threads for exactly what you did. You gave an honest opinion and that is admirable. Good job man. And absolutely, switch back to the other product if you feel you had better results. Don't ever jump on a bandwagon because someone else tells you "mine is better". You did the right thing, you gave it a try and your not fond of it. Thanks again for you honesty.

Thanks Fire! Babs gets pretty fired up when it comes to Syntrax. That's cool though. I'd love to find a supp co that I believe in so intensely.

I've been thinking about giving the Plasma Expander a try, too. Heard good things. I'm looking forward to getting back on the V12, so I may wait a while.

Its been about 3 weeks

 

[nacnac972]

Yeah my pumps were insane on v12 I really liked that stuff.

 

[Var]

P.S. I drink A LOT of water. Definitely not the problem.

Ahhh come on now


Me, get fired up?

I love them and so far, I've had no problems. Customer service is excellant, fast delivery, I respond rather well to their products and I couldn't imagine another company making me feel this way.

I just feel bad that you're not responding well and, I'm not trying to defend them by any means, just trying to figure out why you're not responding to it is all I'm doing. BTW -- I'm an analyst so, it's a habit I have.

*If your body weight is below 200 lbs. use 5 g. before and 5 g. after activity.
*If your body weight is below 250 lbs. use 7.5 g. before and 5 g. after activity.
*If your body weight is below 300 lbs. use 7.5 g. before and 7.5 g. after activity.
*If your body weight is below 350 lbs, consume late in the evening as you may find it hard to get to sleep with the energy that some individuals feel after consumption. Do not leave creatine in solution (especially hot) for more then 10 minutes to maximize bioavailability.

Another fun fact to know is: After consuming Creatine, it's in your blood stream with in 30mins.

I recommended it to a friend when he asked me what to take.I was still on the V12 and was very excited to start my swole V2.He had told me it was doing nothing for him.I thought he was just being negative, he's like that with supps.So I went ahead and got it and I have to agree.I still believe its a great product with all these people getting results.We all know all our bodies are very different.

Sorry...I missed this post somehow. I was referring to the Swole in all my posts here. The San V12 worked really well for me. I've been on Swole since 11/25...so a little over 3 weeks.

Your very welcome my friend but on Babs behalf I personnally can't blame her. I do as well. I love the 2 products of thiers I've tried and had excellent results. My online journal is proof positive. Anyway, if you ever saw Babs you would have a real good understanding as to why she is so enquizative. She is one hella built female bodybuilder of competitive statue. She asks alot of questions not so much to badger you but to learn. She is trying to get the best input she can on the product and figure out why your not gaining anything from it. I totally see where she is going with it. Anyway, whatever you decide, I wish you the absolute BEST! We are all still here for any questions you may have and hopefully help you in the future.

I appreciate the feedback and think its really great that u r as into their products as u r. When I got on the San, I noticed a very dramatic increase in strength and pumps (not that pumps are crucial). I expected even more from Swole due to all the feedback on it. I'm sure its a quality product, but its just not doing it for me.
Just out of curiosity. Have you tried V12 yet Babs <cowering in fear of being struck with blunt object>

It's cool. I knew where she was coming from. Just wanted to make sure I wasnt coming off like I was knocking the product or doubting peoples results.

 

[firestorm]

No problemo Var. Ok now off the supplements for a minute, how is your Protein intake big guy. Are you taking iin enough?

 

[Var]

Definitely! I'm getting well over 2 grams per lb bodyweight. Dont get me wrong here, I'm still making gains. When I started working out I was about 125lbs. I'm not on a plateu or anything. Just had more significant gains (and pumps) with the other product.

 

[nikegurl]

hey var - i also love the swole v2 but i'll say you're definitely not the first person i've heard saying that they prefer the san v12. i've never used it so i can't compare. i'll probably stick with the swole b/c it's working well for me but on a few other boards i frequent there are a bunch of people saying that they got better results from the v12.

 

[Var]

Glad I'm not the only one.

Excellent. I'm happy to hear the gains are still coming. Plateus suck royally. I thank God I haven't hit one yet since my comback from my injury. (knocking on wood here).
As for V-12 who makes this product? I'd like to look into it myself.

Yeah...diet has been the key for me. I always considered myself a hard gainer, but the truth is that my diet sucked and I was overtraining. Now my diet is on point and I'm using GoPros workout...life is good.

V12 is made by San. The only reason I tried Swole was the claim that it doesnt have to be cycled. I cycle creatine anyway, but not as often as the V12 requires. I think its worth trying. I'd be interested to see how someone who responds well to Swole does on SanV12.

 

[firestorm]

Well I'm always open for testing. I'll give it a try when Im through my current supply of Swole.

 

[once was fat]

The swole keeps working. I had another killer arms workout tonight. The pump was amazing as usuall.

Progress so far.

Tricep pushdowns straight bar.

90lbs, 110lbs, 120,lbs and now tonight 130lbs. I like to complete 15 reps when doing this exercise. I was able to complete 13 reps at 130lbs and this was on my last set.

Question on mixing swole with your protein shake. I have heard that some people mix theres with there shake. I mix mine with my shake in the morning. Is there any problem with putting the swole in the blender along with the protein. I guess what I am trying to say is, if you grind the swole with your protein will this break down the swole, or is this ok to do.

 

[jmr1979]

oncewasfat you keep updating your tricep puchdowns but how are your major lifts increasing such as bench, squats, deads coming along??

What type of protein are you taking that needs to be mixed via blender?
