POSEIDON Review
Well there seem to be no shortage of reviews to this product, but I’ll add to the fray..
Nimbus Nutrition was kind enough to gift a bottle to me so I could use it specifically in my pre-onstage shake for a bodybuilding show. I received the tub 5 days prior to the show, so I had to jump in to full usage to make sure my body would adapt by show day — didn’t want to chance having any unforseen issues for “the big day” due to the Magnesium content. I tell ya, it was a good thing I did too..
Initial Reactions
Jumped right in with 2 scoops immediately upon receipt (6pm), and took another scoop that night. Immediately got the Niacin-flush going on, I mean in a huge way, more than I ever have prior. While this bothers some, I’ve always kinda liked this feeling; this intensity did border on the uncomfortable tho. While I continued to get these flush-like responses all thruout usage, at no point was it as intense as this very first dose.
I was warned by the Nimbus guys about initial stomach issues, and this proved to be dead on. Wasn’t so much discomfort (tho there was a little) as much as heavy & loose bowel movements. Again, this was pretty much limited to the first dosing, tapering off thru the next day and gone by the third day.
Effect
My sole purpose in trying this product was for performance & energy enhancement for the stage. I will have to say that there was definitely something to this. I added this to my P-Slin shake both before pre-judging and for my nighttime routine, and man, energy levels were off the hook! I definitely felt a synergism going on, and there’s no doubt the Poseidon matrix helped absorbability. No problems with bloating or anything, and no stomach issues or the like at all.
Post Competition Usage
I jumped right back into training the Monday following the show, and came off pretty much all supps with exception of P-Slin, Anabolic Pump, creatine & EAA’s. So I used Poseidon in my pre & intra w/o creatine/EAA shakes, and there was increased performance and energy in my workouts. I mean, I was in a very anabolic state at this point I realize, but my performance in switching to a heavy, powerlifting routine for clean bulking purposes was pretty amazing, strength awesome, energy enhanced & stable thruout - and this was with no stims. In the 3 heavy lower body workouts I’ve had since starting this routine (I do a lower/upper split right now, and alternate heavy & lighter days within these), I’ve added 20 lbs. each to my working squat weight/deadlift/calf raise, and 10 lbs. to my leg curl! And again, the energy w/ no stims is where I feel the most benefit has been gained.
Conclusion
There’s no doubting the importance of mineral intake in relation to performance & absorption of other things by the body. This was my first experience in using a product of this magnitutde, and I will continue to use Poseidon as I feel it just enhances everything else I use in addition to getting my body in positive mineral balance.

A summation of all USP products I used in contest preparation. With the exception of AnabolicPump, these were all first-time usages for me..
AnabolicPump/P-Slin
AP was the first USP product I ever used, and it produced such remarkable results in such a short time frame I was immediately hooked. Keeping in mind the goal I used these items with (contest prep), these were the results I saw:
*Ability to consume heightened carb amounts during prep, which was previously unheard of to me.
*Despite more carbs, body recomp exceeded that which I experienced during previous ketogenic dieting.
*More carb intake of course allowed me to maintain more of my muscle; as well, energy remained level & abundant.
P-Slin was awesome for preworkout, again allowing ingestion of carbs to fuel training; pump & vascularity improvements were noticeable.
I am currently in the process of using these two products in my clean bulking phase, and P-Slin especially I notice having an incredible ability to sock nutrients straight to the muscles; bloating on this is practically non-existent despite extremely (for me) high carb intake, and the immediate pumps from these meals are crazy.
PowerFULL
Definite raise in GH levels with this product. Sleep was much improved, in fact the synergy from this & the beta product added about an hour and a half a night to my previously lagging sleep! The "clearest" result here is just that — clear skin. Not to be feminine, but I noticed definite improvement & clearing in my complexion, softer & younger looking skin on my face, and clear skin all over the body. This to me is key evidence of GH boost. The big thing with this I think is the synergism with all the other products, and a boost in test levels.
Recreate
What can I say — the best fat-burner I have ever done, bar none - and I’ve done a few in my time. Check out my video in the USP Recreate product link for everything I have to say about this: http://www.usplabsdirect.com/catalog/Recreate-p-107.html (CASE STUDY #2, MIDDLE OF WRITE-UP)
Cissus
And probably my favorite (now THAT’S saying something) of all the USP goodies..
This stuff is amazing. Tendon & joint issues, what few I had, just disappeared very shortly after I began using this. I could feel these become stronger, like steel rods, when I began pushing more & more weight as my strength began to increase. I felt like the Terminator! It was very cool being able to go deep & heavy, ATG on squats, and still be able to walk & climb stairs normally the following day. Recovery was insane, and could definitely pinpoint anabolic properties with this product as I increased usage thru prep.
Summary
Geez, I’ve said it before and I’ll repeat it again — USP ROCKS! These products create the finest results I have ever experienced. Looking forward to getting more results as I train for a couple upcoming shows this year; the 11 short weeks I had to use these products left no doubt in my mind that I’ve found my Holy Grail!

Thought I would put my summations of the beta product in this log..
Training
Intensity was the #1 aspect I noticed to be most affected. The focus & animal-like ferocity with which I attacked the weights during training was a daily constant. In the 7 weeks I was able to use this product, I had only 1 "off" training day.
Strength was steadily improved; bigger jumps at the beginning, then steady increases thruout. These gains never really leveled off. 9 days out from a bodybuilding show I was incline-pressing the most I ever have.
I also experienced fullness within the muscles, this effect lasting thruout the day and not just during training.
Mood
From the very beginning, there was an immediate, intense "on top of the world" feeling, I mean I just felt GREAT! Outlook was upbeat, nothing could get me down — of course, when your training sessions were going like mine were, I guess it’s pretty easy to stay upbeat. I experienced this effect all thruout usage.
This upbeat feeling was combined with an aggresive alpha-male outlook as well. Early on, this aggression was intense and bordering on a bit uncontrollable (but I liked it, it felt good!); after a few weeks, this did level out somewhat & became more manageable, however the aggression was there in some amount all the way thru usage.
Sides
I experienced no bad side effects with this product, no acne or sexual malfunctions or the like. As for impacting sexual performance, I noticed no effects for approximately the first 4 weeks of use, then was hit all of the sudden with some pleasant effects: more powerfull orgasms, thicker & fuller erections, and I was able to last longer as well.
Sleep was solid thruout; was able to get at least 6 hours/night in, and mostly averaged 7 a night; this after previously averaging about 5-5.5 hours nightly.
Overall
There is no shortage of feedback to the effect this compound is having on people. Awesome intensity & focus, strength gains up, body pumps & recomp, alpha male aggression, improved sexual function — an incredibly wide range of benefits with this product. Truly beyond comparison with any other test boosters I’ve ever done. USP, you have another winner.

Awesome collection of athletes competed at this event, it definitely drew some of the best drug-free amateur level guys I’ve ever seen. My class had 13 competitors, it was tough. I think I was penalized a spot for chewing gum at the night routine (just too amped! didn’t even realize I was chomping away till my wife told me afterwards..)
The show itself had some glitches timeframe-wise — my class didn’t get up to do our night routine until 10pm (the show started at 6pm), but there were 156 competitors overall, atttendance exceeded 1800, and guest-poser Jay Cutler was just awesome! I wasn’t a Cutler fan per se prior to this; I am now! You don’t realize how big that dude is until you see him in person, just unbelievable. Got to shake his hand as he was moving around the floor in his posing routine, that was pretty cool. He’s a pretty nice guy it seems too.
Going right back into training today. Got my couple days cheats in, time to prepare for the next show. Looking at the Mr. Natural Indiana show in September, then I want to go back to do the Natural Northern in Ohio, avenge myself there in October. Got some plans to get bigger & add more mass for these shows — want to move up to lightheavy and come in with some huge mass. I think if I utilize P-Slin & AnabolicPump to their fullest and change my trainiing a bit, I should be able to accomplish this..
