For those who want quality size in a short period of time, you must intensely focus all strategic and physical efforts quickly on 3 areas: (1) incremental but nutrient dense increases in caloric consumption, (2) highly targeted repartitioning, and (3) recovery to accelerate tolerance for high-intensity workouts. You only have 2 weeks to assess the initial results, so here it is:
Use Anabolic PUMP, Vanadyl Sulfate XX, and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid as the repartitioning stack (1 capsule each) only with larger meals. Stack GL6 Glutamine Peptide and Whey Protein Isolate for post-workout and night-time protein consumption (I'm missing casein here, but we want to focus on more anabolic substances with only the highest nitrogen concentrations, in the meantime). Use GL6 and HMB together prior to training and 3-5 hours afterwards for recovery. If enough time passes between the last GL6/HMB stack, then one can position HMB with the GL6/Whey Protein Isolate stack before bedtime. Creatine monohydrate is still the preferred version for maximum size, it should be positioned post-training with the Anabolic PUMP, Vanadyl Sulfate XX, and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid stack (1 capsule each), just before the post-workout meal. This stack can also be used in the morning, on non-training days. The goal is to increase the body's capacity for all around nutrition absorption and expansion of skeletal muscle. Don't worry too much about the creation of contractile muscle from amino acid intake over time. Macronutrient tissue saturation in terms of amino acids, glycogen, and intramuscular good lipids has to come first and on a consistent basis even before new skeletal muscle has a possibility of being created. This is also new perspective of looking at an old problem concerning size gains. Protecting the amino acid pool through repartitioned protein and LDL lipids through anti-catabolics like HMB and Glutamine establishes greater protein accrual over time, even at the same amounts ingested. It's also how much one retains, in addition to caloric intake.
NOTE ON CALORIE INCREASE:
The key is to escalate your calorie intake towards the optimal amount, at which muscle cells can adequately absorb the resultant macro-nutrients without crossing the threshold that activates fat storage through triglyceride conversion. In other words, don't eat too much at any given time. Instinctively, caloric control for rapid size gains can be done by consistently eating into one's satiation range, not that of fullness. Repartitioning stacks allow for increased caloric consumption, as it expands nutrient absorption capacity. The trap is the convention of indefinite calorie increase, which doesn't work due to the main aforementioned concern. Ironically, by controlling the consumption intervals in range(s) of greater tolerance and the subsequent consistency of amino acid release over time, results in terms of the intended direction can be noticed within the first 2 weeks, provided that training inputs are at max capacity: This is according to applied intensity through heavy compound free-weight movements.

Product Review - NO-XPLODE
As good as this product is, it can be made to work better through advanced stacking, and nutrient positioning. The key concept for long term effectiveness is to target its use towards the upper extreme of high intensity training, while on a modified caloric intake or restriction within that 1 hour or more training window. By stacking NO XPLODE with anti-catabolics (i.e., HMB, GL6), the body's GH mechanism for pulse release and IGF-1 conversion is maximized, and the post-training insulin and enzymatic sensitivity is maximized for scaled nutrient uptake.
It is crucial not to ingest calories before training, while consuming this product, as one wants to maintain the integrity of GH optimization on the front end, and maximum insulin release and partitioning rebound potential on the back end. Compound movements that focus on building power and/or size should be the primary movement types for training under the aforementioned condition(s). Spacing between uses should be flexibly adjusted according to present recovery requirements. This will better maintain the ability to plan for and adhere to future high intensity sessions.
By strategically controlling the stressor output and the caloric distribution pattern, one can actually train the body to lower its fat stoers, and to increase the amino acid pool within muscle, leading to the creation of more contractile protein as muscle mass. When to deploy products like NO XPLODE (such as before training on an empty stomach) can sharply contribute to desired recomposition effects. Another key point is timing amoung not only products used, but also when and how they are proportionately positioned relative to each other and training stimuli.

Product Review - GL-6 by Sports One
Many glutamine products on the market have their enhancements based on specific glutamine variants, such as those that are peptide bonded or bonded with another highly absorbable substance optimizing transport and assimilation. What makes GL-6 interesting is that it's specifically formulated to scale the absorption effectiveness beyond that associated with normal glutamine. This is what users want, but it has a major challenge. Increased nitrogen retention and its continued sustenance at maximum levels within the blood stream will at some point adversely affect turnover, as the body at certain intervals must release some nitrogen through waste associated with macro-nutrient turnover. In other words, to avoid symptoms or minimize risk of irregularity, increase the fiber intake (FiberSOL) proportionately to consumption of glutamine and protein.
This product can sharply accelerate recovery and mass gains, especially when stacked with other anti-catabolics such as HMB and CISSUS just prior to intense training and with protein (i.e., Syntrax Nectar Whey Protein Isolate) afterwards. A considerable portion of the issue of sports supplement effectiveness is tied directly to delivery systems associated with the core substance for almost any given product. For example, glutamine alpha-ketoglutarate or glutamine AKG is really NO2 bonded glutamine designed to increase nitrogen concentration in the blood stream in significant part by expanding the arterial wall in response to nitric oxide production.
This can actually increase the volume capacity of the cardiac system for a number of different supplements. Malic acid, as also bonded to glutamine in GL-6 also intensifies absorption, thus leading to higher nitrogen concentrations. But it gets more interesting, as its Acetyled Glutamine component may bypass the blood-brain barrier and act as a tertiary catalyst in cognitive support, while optimizing the brain's HPT axis and GHRH production. Therefore, GL-6 may have target nootropic properties, and can therefore be used in brain function as well as bodybuilding and powerlifting recovery supplement stacks.
