Results Summary:

This is a more complicated review to give on this product.  Anabolic King and Alpha Mass X by ATS Labs (Achievements Through Science Labs) are a different type of product then I have taken before.  Up to this point the focus has been more on thermogenic and weight loss.  However, these products are for bulking and building muscle.  The idea was that I would take a cycle and build as much muscle as possible in order be able to lose more weight using that increased muscle when I went back on a cut cycle.

So as I started to apply this – I noticed a few things.  I gained a butt load of weight really quick.  Within the first week I went from 237 pounds to 243.  To be honest for some this is a great… for me I wasn’t emotionally prepared for this.  Having struggled with my weight, even though I could logically see that it was GOOD weight increase, I wasn’t ready to actually address the numbers.  This was surprise to me, and I learned a lot about myself – a lot of things that I didn’t really know. 

I immediately panicked and I shouldn’t have.  My wife pointed out how obvious this increase in weight was actually a good thing – the body composition indicated a lot of it was muscle.  This was still hard. 

As a result I started to change my behavior.  I still hit the gym every day and did weights… heavy weights and low reps.  I kept this up because I really started to love the improvement I could see everything single time I revisited a exercise.  I was able to increase my lift by 5 to 10 pounds on nearly EVERY exercise EVERY TIME I repeated an exercise during the week.  In this light it was FREAKIN AWESOME. 

But because of those numbers I started to watch more of my diet, and not in the way I should have.  I knew that if I wanted to build muscle I needed to eat more and focus on protein.  I still focused on protein, but I pulled back the amount – and in hindsight I didn’t’ do my muscles any justice.  By the second week I was still up from my starting weight, and I started to do cardio every other day rather than weights every day.  From there I was able to shred some more weight.  This helped me emotionally recover.  But again, I didn’t do the actual objective of gaining muscle any favors.

With that being said, even without doing what I wanted right. I was very happy with this – and it wasn’t because of the numbers.  It was because I could see and feel a HUGE different in my body.  My composition changed.  I didn’t see tons in the numbers, but in my posture, and in the shape and form of my body – it was incredible. 

I gave this a B- because I didn’t get the numbers I wanted (even though it was primarily my fault and I was unprepared for actual weight gain) – but I gave it a B because I was pretty surprised as a result of what I did do.  Despite myself, my body still changed pretty phenomenally.  I felt like if I actually did what I was supposed to do it would have been remarkable.

So I loved it, I loved the way I felt, I loved the results – I honestly just wasn’t ready for them!

This was definitely more on me than it was on ATS Labs.  I was impressed enough with how I felt that I was eager to try there other products.
