5% Nutrition Rich Piana Freak Show | Muscle Builder | Berberine, Gymnema Sylvestre, Banaba Powder | 180 Capsules (30 Days)

I had not expected to see anything different, but I did. I had that expectation because I am cutting for a physique photoshoot that will take place in just a couple of months. I'm already on a fat loss protocol (slight calorie reduction and specific supplements such as L-Carnitine and green coffee bean extract). By this point in my program, progress is very slow because losing fat when the striations in your pecs and shoulders are already visible is difficult at best.So I thought maybe it could help me cut a tiny bit faster but I was sure I wouldn't gain size or strength. What actually sold me on it was the berberine, a very effective supplement that I periodically buy for gut health.My results are not at all what I expected. The fat loss wasn't "a tiny bit faster" it is about 5X faster. I feel strong in my workouts, not "calorie deficient". On leg day, I do a lot of bodyweight work after the front squats, leg extensions, etc. Because I tackle dumbbell squats late in the game with quads and hams that are already toasted, these muscles normally scream halfway through the first set. Before starting on Freak Show, I would fail about at about rep 6 in my third set and rep 3 in my fourth set. After two weeks on Freak Show, I'm up a rep in set 3 and up two reps in set 4. That's how much my leg strength has increased. Pull-ups and chin-ups? I am doing 20% more than before starting on Freak Show--this is amazing, especially considering that I have not increased in several years. Freak Show just erased that plateau. My back looks bigger, as do my chest and median delts. I had not anticipated this at all, it's a very pleasant surprise.

I’m 56 and exercise every morning for about an hour, mostly weights, with a bit of cardio during the week. I’m not trying to be Mr. Universe, but I stay in decent shape for my age. I also take a few basic supplements: multivitamin, aminos, something for my joints, that kind of thing.I’ve tried berberine in the past and didn’t really notice much. I’m pretty skeptical about new supplements, especially the ones with big promises. But I’ve actually been pretty impressed with this one over the past month.The ingredient list looks solid, and I usually take six at once since I only eat one big meal a day. Honestly, my nutrition isn’t great. I try, but I also really like to eat, so… yeah.Since starting this, I’ve noticed two things. First, I’m not nearly as bloated after meals. I don’t get that heavy, sluggish feeling or that crash. It’s like my body handles the meal better, and I really like that. Second (and I wasn’t expecting this at all), my sexual health has definitely improved. A lot. No idea if that’s supposed to happen with this, but it’s noticeable, and I’m not complaining.My only real gripe is the price. It’s kind of steep for a one-month supply, at least for me. That might be the only thing that keeps me from reordering. But if the price isn’t a dealbreaker for you, this might be worth a try.

After using this for a few weeks, I can say it is definitely not one of those supplements that makes big flashy promises. What I appreciate is how quietly effective it is. It gives me steady focus during workouts without any of the jittery side effects I usually try to avoid. The pump I get is solid and noticeable, which makes my sessions feel more productive.The flavor actually surprised me because it is enjoyable and not overpowering. That is important since I hate forcing myself to drink something unpleasant. It mixes well too with very little residue left at the bottom, so it feels like a smooth experience overall.This supplement has become a bit of a low-key favorite for me. It fits nicely into my routine without making a fuss but still helps sharpen my workouts in a way that feels natural. I would not call it a game changer, but it does exactly what I need. Sometimes the simple things are the best.

The “5% Nutrition Rich Piana Freak Show | Muscle Builder | Berberine, Gymnema Sylvestre, Banaba Powder | 180 Capsules (30 Days)” has an interesting mix of ingredients. I have been taking it for only a short time before this review and have not noticed any significant change. I have also not seen any adverse effects, nor have I experienced any jitters. I asked my son, who is a bodybuilder and is well-read on this subject. He is of the school that there is no magic muscle builder, just hard work and consistency. I will continue to take these until they are finished. At my age, I am willing to accept even a small percentage of help. I don’t like that you have to take six capsules to get the required amount.
