Hi, i recently bought 4 bottle of prime...

I've got a few of questions...

-> the "5 days ON, 2 days OFF routine" does it mean 5 workout days.. or just 5 days at a stretch even if ur nt working out all5 days continuously.. because i workout only 4 days a week n i'm lookin to gain mass... i can certainly change to 5 working days a week, but i dont wanna train on al 5 days continuously, i want to atleast make it 3ON/1OFF, 2ON/1OFF( mon, tue, wed Fri sat workin out & thursday n sunday rest )...
so finallly what i wanna ask is when do take the pillls.... starting monday to friday... or only on the days i'm working out???
->If things are goin fine can i extend my first cycle to 20 weeks instead of 16 cuz anyways i bought 4 bottles...
-> Is there any concrete stipulation as to when the pills shoudl be taken for pre-workout, i mean how many hours or minutes prior to the workout... min-max?? and can i also take it on a light meal or does have to be a standard meal
thanx in advance for anyone who can give me answer, though i would request the USPLABS AUTHORISED PERSON members to answer it for my satisfaction...

the most generally recommended guideline is 5 continuous days of use, then 2 days off. while it's nice to have the 'off days' line up with your 'off-training' days, this is not absolutely necessary..
the reason for this guideline is Prime's ability to put you in a tireless state; some have found the recovery so good, that they begin to overtrain, which of course can lead to negative results..
I myself use Prime every day; there is nothing wrong with this usage (and indeed I believe this is the ultimate optimal way to use the product); one just needs to be conscious of the need for regular rest, and not get into the 'training every day without breaks' modes..

this is fine..

see my above post re. dosing -- I feel you would get better results that way rather than going on a 20-week run. I would personally look to run a 12-week cycle (dosing every day), then take 6-8 weeks off before going again..

no

generally, it's best w/ your 3 largest meals, due to nutrient repartitioning effects of the product; that being said, if you have a lighter meal scheduled in the timeframe where it's most optimal to dose Prime (i.e. evenly split thru day & that time just happens to be a smaller meal), then this would be acceptable..

I been taken prime and powerful just like u suggested for the p.m. trainer. After just two week i started to feel what i will call a little swollen. My biceps chest and back started to show results. I got so excited that i went out and bought Anabolic pump and added it to Prime and Powerfull. After two days of takein it i saw myself in the mirror n i could tell i was getting thinner. Unfortunatley i lost the five pounds n i see no results. I am takein the Anabolic pump as prescribed in the bottled. Can you help me out. I know i am doing something wrong but i dont know what. My workout out put is great i even have a big appetite n eat more than usual. started to take in more lean protein such as fish and chicken and started to drink 100% whey and 100% casien protein both before n after work outs. I also work out 5 days strait n take two off. Please someone tell me what the Hell am i doing wrong.

can't diagnose this w/o more info.. adding AP in itself will not cause this outcome.
my guess is that you need to up your carb intake; this effect is individually dependent on how one responds to carbs in the first place.
and one note, FYI: pre & post w/o are not the time for a casein protein. this is a slow-digesting protein, and is best suited for nighttime use (i.e. before bed). for your pre & post timeframes you want to look more at an isolate, something that is absorbed quickly in the body for immediate use (pre) and recovery (post).

O.K.

Hear it is. i wake up at 5:15. I am a Mailman so i have to pack all my meal for on the go consumption. In the morning i at 5:45 i take 1 Anabolic pump and 2 prime. At 6 am i consume a shake that contains 1 scoop of Whey isolate and i scoop of casein and two table spoons of peanut butter and 6 ounces of papaya. The shake is made with 3 cups of soy milk. At around 8:45 I usually snack on a protein bar. At 11:45 i take 1 Anabolic Pump and 2 Prime. At 12 noon i usually eat 2 chicken breast with some veggies, usually tomatoes. Am a p.m trainer so i take my 1 Anabolic pump and my 2 Prime at around 5 and then I have a granola bar and a whey protein shake same as the one in the morning. I usually do 40 min cardio then 1 hour and fifteen min of weights. After i drink another shake same as the morning. when i get home i usually have some sort of protein chicken, tuna or egg whites with veggies and two slices of bread. Normally i dont even eat that much but i really want to gain some muscle. To keep the wegith off in the past i did a lot of cardio. I didnt really follow a diet i just counted my calories and worked out a lot. Can you guys help.
