Best Overall Intra-Workout Supplement?

[MBSowards]

I finally figured out what Wild Berry Punch reminds me off. Real berries.

It honestly is that good.

[CONTROLLED LABS]

If your only buying an intra-workout supp then PW is cheapest but like I said they are all great.

purple wraath is a great value and great quality, we are the first and only brand certified by bb.com as having our products produced in a GMP certified facility:

we are also the best selling intraworkout product on bb.com:

Ive personally tried Intrabolic, Intraid and PW and they are all great supps...Currently I am on Intraid becasue I got a great deal on the AWO stack (Storm, Intraid and Torrent all for $99 cant beat that) If I had to pick the best I'd go with Intraid. I am really impressed with Universal and thats saying something because I really like PW. Universal has been around a long time and its a no nonsense type of company. Honestly there isnt much of a differnce for me between all three as far as how I feel during the workout. They all get the job done. So it comes to whats most economical. If your only buying an intra-workout supp then PW is cheapest but like I said they are all great.

Thank you for the feedback. Intra-Aid is the most complete bodybuilder's workout drink.You have to double dose most other intra workout products to come close to the amount of protein/amino's in Intra-Aid.

We appreciate your vote of confidence in the brand as well. We've been in business over 30 years and we are one of the few companies that manufactures our own products in our own GMP facility. We don't farm anything out to 3rd party manufacturers.

Besides bulk BCAAs I've only really used one intraworkout product, intrabolic. I've really enjoyed it and it has become a staple of mine. I LOVE the green apple flavor and can't wait to try out the new wild berry.

If you liked the green apple you are in for a pleasant surprize with both the citrus and the wild berry. Just in case you missed it, we are offering free wild berry samples here

Yes, someone else was saying the same thing on how much more natural IntrAbolic wild berry tastes compared to other BCAA or EAA products they had used.

Our lab, hit the flavoring on the new IntrAbolic out of the park!

Is this your favorite of the three flavors now?

On it's own, yes. If you let me mix some lemon flavoring in with the apple I still prefer that.

[Wearwolf51]

Best flavor, hands down (ive tried PW and intrabolic), is 8 Beta Anabol. Plus you get a three gram dose of BA and 30g of dextrose. Flawless intra formula.

On sale buy 2 get 1.

Has the taste changed at any point? When I tried samples...it was some kind of tea flavor...It sort of tasted like the name of the flavor but that was part of the problem...

I have yet to try it, and hopefully will at some point, but I seriously would like for you to try the Wild Berry IA, if you haven't yet...but just going by flavor, the taste is phenomenal!

No tea flavor. Its a fruity flavor. I love it.

[Wearwolf51]

Yes, it is very good, esp for a no-carb formula, but I think that 8 Beta still edges it out. Just my opinion. BTW I think that PW is an awesome product.

Not sure what flavor it was (Citrus or Apple), but if it was the Apple then I can understand as that flavor has not been a favorite for many...

But I have no doubt that this new Wild Berry will be a lot better...mix it with 12-14 oz of water...

Ah, great to hear!

I believed it tasted great from the get go but I have to admit, I'm pleasantly surprised just how exceptionally positive the feedback has been on the new flavor.

Also, if you have the citrus flavor as well, I HIGHLY recommend trying half and half with the wild berry. Tastes incredible, like watermelon/berry bubblegum.

Tried it yesterday, pretty good. Def improvement over the last sample I had, still that weird taste though (it think its the whey hydro), but the wildberry really goes well with it. Oh and had a great workout too! Thanks for the sample AEN!

This reminds me. The berry flavor of Intrabolic is great! Actually reminded me of watermelon tho. Nice light flavor. But now I am out of intras. And now I am sad :(

glad to hear it, remember PW is only $0.56 cents per serving and that other product is $1.75 per serving, so that is a big factor too. PW is also carb free so its flexible to add your own if you want carbs

Yes, it was flavored for long term use. I find many burn out quickly with the heavier/strong flavored supplements.

The way, people are using IntrAbolic now as a staple, we knew we needed to have a tasty but not overbearing flavor profile, like the citrus flavor is.

i take a scoop of wrath and scoop of white flood mixed together pre/intra workout in 700ml water.

feels good man. Love the tingles... but if i dont add enough water or drink to quickly i want to cut my ears off lol. i'm forever rubbing them and my forehead.

The AWO stack is the best stack when it comes to taking advantage of nutrient timing. There is no other stack that is so complete.

Glad to hear you like Intra-Aid. It is the bodybuilder's workout drink and a great product.

Every company is going to say their product is the best. What it comes down to is you trying them and seeing which one you will respond to. The biggest difference is with most other intra-workout products you have to double the dose to even come close to the amount of protein and amino's that you get in Intra-Aid so consumers need to factor that in when they are comparing.

[gregorystacey]

I've tried two samples of Purple Wrath and really liked them. I just ordered a 90 serving tub and look forward to trying it out for the long haul. I've never done a BCAA or Beta Alanine supp before. I have some Q's though. Can I take the serving of PW before my workout with 1/2 of my protein shake? Is 1 serving enough(site says 1-2 after tolerance is established)? Should I take it on cardio days(I lift 4 days a week and run/swim 3)?? Please shoot a little knowledge/experience my way if you've got some to offer.

Thank you,

glad to hear it, its some quality beta alanine causing those tingles. they may dissipate over time.

nice pickup, do you get lemonade or grape?


to answer your questions:
save the protein for post. take purple wraath intra. have some carbs pre.

start with 1 serving of purple wraath, then try 2 and stick with which you feel works best for you.

purple wraath is excellent for cardio, so def take it for cardio

[gregorystacey]

I got the Purple Lemonade. Should be here on Saturday. I appreciate the response. After some reading on Controlled Labs website I had a lot of Q's answered as well.

I dont like many muscletech products but i gotta say that Intravol is pretty amazing and it tastes great as well! I always can lift heavier for longer on this stuff.

Am I the only one who hasn't tried an Intra product yet? I don't know. I guess since I've always been consistent on pre and post workout nutrition/supplementation, I never really considered it.

Has anyone else seen benefits adding an intra to an already strict pre/post protocol?

Yeah I might try that. But the only category that would get me to buy something off a sample would be a pre-workout product with stims. I can't see how using an intra-product for a day would change my mind.

Hopefully I'll be doing a log of Intrabolic soon though.

Oh yeah. Intra products are great, cant really go wrong with IMO. Even when Im out of product I put 8gs of EAAs into my shaker with 30g of dextrose and take it to the gym.

I think they wanted to offer a carb/insulinotropic intra supp as PW has no carbs.

PW has no carbs or protein and is cheaper per serving. InTrain is a bit more per serving but has the carbs and protein. there are some other differences too, but these are the main ones. its all about choices, either one will get the job done well.

In the past it has been Xtend for me. Pretty good stuff. Didn't notice extra energy(although I always had plenty energy) during workouts, but my recovery improved greatly and that is what I got it for.

I am now going to try Intrabolic as the profile just seems best out of everything I was considering. Is Intrabolic beneficial to sip during the day for the same reasons Xtend was?

We designed IntrAbolic to be specifically taken, just DURING workout sessions. We don't subscribe to the theory of sipping on fast acting amino-acids throughout the day. Largely due to the refractory period on protein synthesis that fast acting amino acid bring about. Large spikes of amino-acid spikes in the plasma, in particular DURING exercise is what we believe in, not trickling them in throughout the day. In terms of trickling in amino-acids throughout the day, we feel that food or a slow digesting source of amino-acids is better.

Give IntrAbolic a shot, you won't be disappointed.

[number1sixerfan]

No. just intra-workout.

Any reason why not? Just curious since both are mainly BCAA/EAA products. I know Intrabolic contains more than just those two. Maybe I will still keep Xtend for during the day, and Intrabolic for during the workout.

I POSSIBLY see some use of taking LEUCINE between meals but sipping a BCAA sup throughout the day, is not preferable IMO.

[aliquis]

Why would one need to take anything DURING the workout?
I guess water is my intra-workout product ... That and an extra dose of iron and magnesiumcarbonate :D

I use Xtend for no other reason than taste and maybe that it gives something. It's nice having something delicious to drink while working out, so stack goes like:

Pre:
* White Flood
* Tyrosine
* Inositol
Beginning:
* 2 servings of Purple Wraath
During:
* Xtend
After:
* Green magnitude atm but I don't trust that it gives anything more than creatine monohydrate would do.
* 20-25 gram Maltodextrine
At home:
* Local brand EAA
* Acetyl-l-carnitine
* Tryptophane

(Local brands being bodyscience from mmsports here in Sweden)


I guess water + some mineral salts makes sense intra-workout, maybe some maltodextrine to if you are doing it for long. But those products won't bring in a lot of money ...

[aliquis]

Any reason why not? Just curious since both are mainly BCAA/EAA products. I know Intrabolic contains more than just those two. Maybe I will still keep Xtend for during the day, and Intrabolic for during the workout.He, you and Scivation can only speculate.

Of course scivation wants you to take Xtend as often and as much as possible, that makes them more money. This guy is just honest and tell you that plenty of spikes may not be to your advantage and that food may work just as well. Honor him for that instead =P

Short huge bursts of amino acids in your blood stimulate protein synthesis to raise above normal levels, but if you have constant high levels you may lose that effect or even get worse results.

No-one will know what really is best until someone have studied all variations, which will most likely never happen =p, but the best one can tell you is that EAAs before workout are better than after, and that several servings with one hour after seem to work to (though if you eat which you most likely will and should there's no use of taking the EAAs any more.)
And beyond that I guess you can take it in the morning since your amino acid levels may have went down from all that fasting, I do.


I'm going to be somewhat rude here but for people who already take EAAs before their workout and maybe after there may be no advantage or even worse to take them during workout. May be better to split the intakes more such as before and when you come home or something such. I guess intraworkout makes sense for those people who take whey only after their workout but then they may have had better results from their product by taking it before workout. So... I don't really see where this is going =P. Anyway this guys product had the salts in it atleast, which I guess can only help with rehydration.

take purple wraath intra if possible, since that is the best use. you also dont need both it and xtend. green mag is better pre and can be mixed with white flood. you can eliminate your extra inosine and tyrosine as well. this should save you a good deal of cash

i wanted to know if i could add PurpleIntrain to my stack im also looking foward to getting orange triad and a protein

sure thing, either take it lifting days and purple wraath on cardio days. or take 1 scoop of each together intra workout. each way would be a great option.

[jao04c]

take purple wraath intra if possible, since that is the best use. you also dont need both it and xtend. green mag is better pre and can be mixed with white flood. you can eliminate your extra inosine and tyrosine as well. this should save you a good deal of cash

lol...

[number1sixerfan]

He, you and Scivation can only speculate.

Of course scivation wants you to take Xtend as often and as much as possible, that makes them more money. This guy is just honest and tell you that plenty of spikes may not be to your advantage and that food may work just as well. Honor him for that instead =P

Short huge bursts of amino acids in your blood stimulate protein synthesis to raise above normal levels, but if you have constant high levels you may lose that effect or even get worse results.

No-one will know what really is best until someone have studied all variations, which will most likely never happen =p, but the best one can tell you is that EAAs before workout are better than after, and that several servings with one hour after seem to work to (though if you eat which you most likely will and should there's no use of taking the EAAs any more.)
And beyond that I guess you can take it in the morning since your amino acid levels may have went down from all that fasting, I do.


I'm going to be somewhat rude here but for people who already take EAAs before their workout and maybe after there may be no advantage or even worse to take them during workout. May be better to split the intakes more such as before and when you come home or something such. I guess intraworkout makes sense for those people who take whey only after their workout but then they may have had better results from their product by taking it before workout. So... I don't really see where this is going =P. Anyway this guys product had the salts in it atleast, which I guess can only help with rehydration.

Well, I've had good results megadosing xtend in the past, so that is why I desire to continue. I don't think it's a miracle worker or anything, but it is the best recovery supp I have used so far(have only had Intrabolic for 2 days, so I'll have to wait for the verdict on it). I'm taking six scoops a day leading up to my workout. Then I am using a mixture of Intrabolic and Sizeon.

My logic is since Intrabolic has the better profile, that is what I will actually use right before/during my workout. I will definitely post my results later.

[nastyimpulse89]

How about intra aid :)

[Drago-K]

If you had to pick just ONE intra-workout product to take DURING YOUR WORKOUT, what would be the best one?

Please pick the product and include the brand. Give your reasons. The best answers will be displayed on the main Bodybuilding.com site for millions of people to see!

(Note: This is not a discussion about how or when to take intra-workout products, if you should take intra-workout products, or why some intra-workout products are NOT good. Just list your absolute favorite intra-workout product and give your detailed reason.)

Volumize, from BSN seems to be an effective product. Gains have been noticed while taking this product. Stamina and energy have seen definite increases, though I have not taken any other intra-workout product to compare it to.

Tried a sample of Purple Wrath today, holy ****!. Took my usual pre-wk out (white flood) 30min before, during my warm up,(20 min cardio) I started drinking PW, I then starting taking gulps through out my work out, along with water (a standard i have like so many of us) It enhanced what WF does, it raised my intensity and gave me bit more sharpness than just with WF alone. It totally kick me into a higher gear. No jitters or crashing. just a clean, focused, session. Controlled Labs supplements have been very impressive, no complaints here. My next order will have the Wrath,. as I said before, soon I'll be full on the CL Stackhouse.

[naturalguy]

How about intra aid :)

Intra-Aid is stellar, not many formulas can match up, in fact you have to double dose most other products to even come close to the amount of protein and amino's that are in Intra-Aid.

In one serving of Intra-Aid you get:

8 grams of high quality hydrolyzed whey
10 gram of free form amino's
a great carb blend
electrolytes

Intra-Aid remains the bodybuilders workout drink.

I can't say enough about a product that I've been taking for about a month now. First Order (beta-alanine) by Body Well nutrition. Using beta has taken my workouts to another level (for me that's huge!) This one little thing is responsible for huge gains in strength and endurance. Whether it's First Order or not, the main thing I'm getting at is Beta! Trust me! It's very inexpensive so just give it a try and you'll be floored by the results. You'll get an almost tingly, itchy feeling when it starts to take effect. It'll go away in a couple of minutes though. Let me know what you think...

[naturalguy]

The taste of Intra-Aid is pretty amazing especially when you consider the formula. It's not an easy one to flavor. The high quality hydro whey is bitter by nature. It took us a while to get the flavoring right, we did not rush it to market and we alpha and beta tested it with the public and made changes based on consumer feedback.

I've tried the major 3: Intrabolic, Intra-Aid, and Intrain. I've also tried many others like PW and Xtend....

I'm going to have to give the edge to CL Purple Intrain here. The taste of intra-aid was not that great and upset my stomach. Intrabolic was very good but also upset my stomach throughout the tub. I decided to pickup some intrain after getting a sample and I've been running it at 2 scoops per workout and the effects are great. I love the fact I'm getting 5mg of B12 as well.

[Supplement-Slut]

From feedback the 3 most popular would have to be...
Intrain,Intrabolic,IntraAid (no order)

Love the flavor of Blue Raz IntraAid, just something about it thats nice and refreshing. Used about 24-32oz w/ the samples I got and it didn't dilute the flavor at all. Found a great site that sells the Universal AWO stack cheap too, 3 products. (PM if want)

[TheBlackWalrus]

[naturalguy]

You are not comparing apples to apples.

Intrain is .67 cents per "serving". In one serving you get:

4 grams protein
5 grams of free form aminos however you do NOT have all the EAA's
5 grams of carbs

Intra-Aid is $1.28 per serving. In one serving you get:

8 grams of protein
10 grams of free form aminos including ALL the EAA's
10 grams of carbs

So you would have to double the dose of Intrain to even come close to the actives in Intra-Aid and even then you would NOT be getting the EAA's. So the fair comparison would be an equal serving of Intrain would cost $1.34 which is more than Intra-Aid.

We could cut our serving size in half as a marketing gimmick to make Intra-Aid look cheaper however we wanted to put out the most effective product available..............and we did :)

exactly, these products are not similar at all (except in price which is only a 3% difference), nor can you even compare since intra aid is one big prop blend. purple intrain also has a whopping dose of Methylcobalamin and a large dose of leucine (I am guessing bigger than the other product unless the aminos below it are in tiny amounts, as to get the amount even in one serving of intrain, it would need to have only 2.5 grams of all of the ingredients below it combined) intrain also has L-Glycine And Banaba at proper doses. intrain is also a sugar free option (so if people want glucose they can add it for nearly no cost)

let me remind you, you are the one making a real product/ingredient comparison, not me, as all I did was state a financial comparison. ;) so lets end our comparisons and let the customer decide

Your information is false. Intra-Aid is not one big prop blend, you get 8 grams of high quality hydro whey, 10 grams of free form aminos, 10 grams of carbs and electrolytes spelled out on the label. The only blend is the free form aminos, Purple Intrain has 3 prop blends :p

You are incorrect on the amount of leucine in Intra-Aid, with a whopping 18,000 mg of aminos in Intra-Aid it contains an efficacious dose of leucine.

im not going to argue about this (my last post on this subject or about comparing our products), but its better to have more prop blends (especially with individual ingredients called out with the amounts), than 1 huge prop blend. if you cant see why, then I cant help you there :D

Just got IntraBolic Sour Green Apple from wheycheap and these are some first impressions:

-Taste was terrible, but I think it was because I used warm water and I might use a different base tomorrow but otherwise, I had to constantly dilute it with water so the taste would be subdued.

-Workout was above average, felt a slight bit more endurance and longevity but otherwise can't be determined until next week or so if its the supplement. Right now, I feel pretty good, body doesn't feel as exhausted as it usually is.

-I take this after WF preworkout, and I have to say that the combination of beta-alaline and the sensation throughout the body was rather intense, when I wiped my face with a towel, it felt like some 18 year old hottie tickling my face.


But this **** seems legit so far.

[Drummerboy]

I like starting the Intrabolic about 10 mins before weight training, and ending about 15 mins before workout ends. I find it kicks in about the right time that way. Apple flavour is fine. I also think that Presurge is best taken 45 mins before workout, and 1 hour after preworkout shake. So far, so good for me! I get mad pickies when the intra kicks in, and again when I take the IntraXcell. Wont be able to tell how good I will build for another few weeks. Also wondering if the cost is worth it compared to getting good raws and making my own mixes...

Thanks for the feedback. Price out, if you can find a hydrolyzed whey with 70-80% di-and tripeptides, as well as flavoring and the rest of the ffEAAs. You will find IntrAbolic offers great value.

Agreed on preSurge timing though the powder version coming out will kick in much faster!

you may have to double dose, but it has more than twice as many servings (60 compared to 25) ;)

also, intrain is not one huge proprietary blend and has additional ingredients not found in the others including a high dose of b-vitamins for stim free energy.

This is incorrect in regards to IntrAbolic and I would appreciate it if you stop stating it. Two servings of IntrAbolic will give you 8grams of protein, which is the same as intra-aid, not to mention our 70-80% di-tripeptide content of our WPH.

In terms of the other amino-acids your comparing to. Well two servings of IntrAbolic has MORE than one serving of intra-aid 11.7g VS 10g.

Two servings of IntrAbolic contains 8g of ffEAAs and 3.2g of beta-alanine=11.7g to your 10grams. Part of your 10grams also includes another non essential amino-acid taurine. Nothing wrong with taurine but the essential amino-acids are what's most important and costly and what is needed for protein synthesis.

You get 40 servings with IntrAbolic, it by far has more feedback then the other intraWO WPH/EAA products and its the highest customer rated intraWO product on bb.com

Sorry just stating facts maybe I should have worded it that you need two servings of the other products to equal the amount of protein in Intra-Aid.

I don't understand how two servings of Intrabolic gives you 8 grams of protein if you didn't change the formula as the previous version which was 24 g serving size had 7 grams of hydro whey. It looks like you just cut the serving size in half which would yield 3.5 per scoop. Where does the extra gram come from?

Intrain should not even be compared to either formula since it lacks all the EAA's.

Well, even that is wrong, as I showed you two servings of IntrAbolic is more in the ffAAs, not equal, only the protein is equal.

The labels for months now, show the larger serving size, likely just old unadjusted facts on the bb.com website.

I am confused, on the label (I have a bottle) it says serving size 24 grams, protein 7 grams. I understand the new label is 12 gram serving with 4 grams of protein. The serving size was cut in half, wouldn't that be 3.5 grams or protein per scoop? Where does the extra gram come from?

I think that was the original intent of these sections. But don't you enjoy shameless pimping of products here? :p

P.S. Now go try SportPharma's CARB Max, it's the best intra-workout supplement product you'll ever get your hands on. No serious training is needed and you'll still experience the best results of your life b/c all that is lacking from what you do is our superior product. Carbs + electrolytes + great taste ftw. :D

Carb Max is good stuff

[TheNaturalLG]

If you had to pick just ONE intra-workout product to take DURING YOUR WORKOUT, what would be the best one?

Please pick the product and include the brand. Give your reasons. The best answers will be displayed on the main Bodybuilding.com site for millions of people to see!

(Note: This is not a discussion about how or when to take intra-workout products, if you should take intra-workout products, or why some intra-workout products are NOT good. Just list your absolute favorite intra-workout product and give your detailed reason.)

If I had one choice I would choose BC+EAA from LG Sciences. It is a branch/Essential Amino acid complex that tastes incredible. Watermelon Kiwi is like Kool-aid and the aminos keep your energy up and keep you anabolic while training on an empty stomach. I cannot train without this product, Im a huge believer in amino acid products and this is by far the best one I have used.

[MBSowards]

God this thread is over run by pimps, I mean reps...

Would be nice to hear some more actual feedback from people who are NOT paid to pimp the products they use.

Personally i've only ever used Xtend. I like the variety of flavours to choose from and it does exactly what it says it does on the label. Love the stuff.

lol yeah these best of threads are big jokes.

All of the products are going to provide benefit, but the back and forth is pretty frustrating...

I have been using SizeonV2 or Ice intraworkout and both are pretty effective. Probably will stick with one of the two of them from now on.

[Tobi_DXB]

tried Xtend Apple today and it was delish, looking forward to drinking it during w/o tomorrow.
Also got PW, not so much (taste wise).

[REIGNMAN_AUS]

Purple Wrath was great in terms of performance (we haven't got Intrain yet in Aus) however the taste was a little meh.

Intra-Aid tastes awesome for both taste and performance but alot more exp than Purple Wrath.

Currently using Intra-Aid but might have to cut back to Purple Wrath. :(

Lastnight was the 1st time I took the Full Controlled Labs stack. Been taking GreenMag & Flood since about March, Flood only every once in awhile though.

Sipped The PurpleW thought the work out and DAMN!! $hit works. Managed all my lifts easy and the work out was about 10-15mins faster then normal. Def. had a nice energy boost and was ready to go to war with da iron.

Lemon taste was bah not that great.

Trying IntrAbolic next time though just to see how they compare.

[Jwilliams2]

It was the sample pack so only 1 dose in like 12 ounces of water

I had the same story. Intrain is awsome. It keeps your energy level the same from start to finish of a work out. No burn out or come down. I use 2 scoops in my shaker.

Controlled Labs Purple Wrath and Purple In-Train gives you options if you're looking to Bulk (In-Train) or Cut (Wrath). I'll use PW when I'm running or doing a long (2+ hours) training ride on the bike. When hitting the weights, I'll reach for Intrain. Some would use 1 scoop of PW and 1 scoop of PI for the best of both worlds. I've stuck with CL products because after having tried one, it opened the door to try their other products. Soild overall......

[-=Zeus=-!]

Xtend worked GREAT for me, I work out intense, balls to the wall style and this really helped out my recovery more then any other product besides possibly megadosing fish oil.

Loved the green apple, tasted like a little bitter'd down koolaid but that was fine.

Tried Purple wraath samples, didnt like the taste at all...

[JolietKev]

I recently purchased Intra Aid and love it. Provides great endurance and tastes great. Esp when very cold. I have the Blue Raz.

I've been using Purple inTrain and I really like it. The raspberry tastes amazing. I am however confused about the difference between inTrain and Wraath? Can someone explain?

intrain has carbs, hydrolyzed protein and extras like banaba.

wraath is carb free and protein free, but has the EAAs and extras like betaine and citrulline malate

nice stack. are you keeping a log?

[Frozendawn]

nice stack. are you keeping a log?

I've been keeping a personal log ever since I started on CL stacking. It lets me see my gains accurately rather than simply looking in the mirror. I like to include the number of reps in each set I completed and even conclude each workout station with a couple words describing how I feel. So 5 months from now I can look back and be proud of the progress I've been making and see where I've been.

I recommend others to do the same.

It seems like they are doing the same things, energizing your workouts and energy drive.

as opposed to just taking White Flood.

White Flood provides the energy and Wraath/Intrain will help with endurance. Definitely a good idea to stack the two.

its best to take white flood 30 minutes pre and purple wraath and/or purple intrain during the duration of the workout. the primary objectives of the purple products are endurance and recovery.

I would just experiment with it more than anything. I know guys put a couple scoops in 1-2 gallons of water. I personally just use 20oz for two scoops and don't like to drink more than that during a workout.

[broeli]

I usually buy grape. I feel that PW may be a better product for added energy and endurance during workouts because of the extra ingredients it has. You can definitely feel the beta alanine..and beta alanine does help endurance. I tend to lean toward Xtend and Glutamine Select when it comes to just pure recovery.
The price of PW is probably what keeps me from buying it more often...although it may only be marginally more than the others.

You say Xtend works great. What are you basing that on? Its hard for me to tell if it is doing anything. It doesn't help with soarness, I've already established that, for me anyway. I can't really tell if it helps with keeping the lean mass I have while I am cutting. I take it anyway.

So back to my original question, what do you mean when you say it works great? What are you basing that on?

[unccwrestler]

since I quit taking Pre w/o supps I have used INtraXcell ( 3 capsules) and then 2 scoops Xtend and seem to be going through my workouts fine.

[Drummerboy]

Felt stoned off the gaba right away. Good tingles from the alanine. However, I must say, that over all, my energy and focus was better on pre surge.

I only had 1 sample, so it would be fair to try flood a few times to get a proper comparison. But for now, pre-surge is better for me.

NOTE : save the gaba for night time. Its neural suppressing effect makes much more sense at night for sleep. It will increase GH whenever you take it, and it seems the relaxing feeling gaba gives is counter productive to a solid energetic workout. I wonder what white flood would be like without the gaba... im guessing very solid.

I have much experience with trying various products.

I realize the gaba is a neurotransmitter, but upon further evaluation looking at what it actually does (and real world use, the "relaxing" feeling that it provides) seems to be counterproductive to a workout. This is its effect on me and in no way am i saying that its the same for everyone. Just everyone I know that takes gaba.

This was presented at the 2010 ISSN Conference this past weekend in Clearwater, FL. These results are preliminary and will be submitted for peer review but I thought you guys would like to see them since they are now public. In any case, this is one of two studies being conducted on SizeOn Max Performance and hopefully it elucidates the strength of our formula to those claiming it is just carbs and creatine. These results suggest otherwise and this is the first study to show the efficacy of taking creatine on training days only (4x per week based on the workout protocol employed).

Nine Weeks of Supplementation With A Multi-Nutrient Augments Changes in Body Composition, Strength, and Muscle Performance in Resistance Trained Men.

Jennifer Hofheins, MS, RD, LD, Robert Lemieux, MS, and Steven Schmitz, MD, MPH.

The Center for Applied Health Science Research, Division of Sports Nutrition and Exercise Science, Fairlawn, OH 44333, USA

from 2010 International Society of Sports Nutrition Conference and Expo
Clearwater Beach, FL, USA. 23-24 June 2010

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of supplementation with SizeOn Maximum PerformanceTM (SOmaxP) versus a comparator product (CP) containing an equal amount of creatine (4g) carbohydrate (39g maltodextrin) and protein (7g whey protein hydrolysate) on muscular strength, muscular endurance, and body composition during nine weeks of intense resistance training. Methods: Using a prospective, randomized, double-blind design, 20 healthy men (mean ± SD age, height, weight, % body fat: 22.9 ± 2.6 y, 178.4 ± 5.7 cm, 80.5 ± 6.6 kg, 16.6 ± 4.0 %) were matched for age, body weight, resistance training history, bench press strength, bench press endurance, and percent body fat and then randomly assigned via the ABBA procedure to ingest 1⁄2 scoop (dissolved in 15 oz water) of SOmaxP or CP prior to, and another 1⁄2 scoop (dissolved in 15 oz water) during resistance exercise. Body composition (DEXA), muscular performance (1-RM bench press and repetitions to failure [RTF: 3 sets x baseline body weight, 60-sec rest between sets]), and clinical blood chemistries were measured at baseline and after nine weeks of supplementation and training. Subjects were required to maintain their normal dietary habits and follow a specific, progressive overload resistance training program (4-d/wk, upper body/lower body split) during the study. An intent-to-treat approach was used and data were analyzed via ANCOVA using baseline values as the covariate. Statistical significance was set a priori at p≤0.05. Results: When adjusted for initial differences, significant between group post-test means were noted in: 1-RM bench press (SOmaxP: 133.3 ± 1.3 kg [19.8% increase] vs. CP: 128.5 ± 1.3 kg [15.3% increase]; p<0.019); lean mass (SOmaxP: 64.1 ± 0.4 kg [2.4% increase] vs. 62.8 ± 0.4 kg [0.27% increase], p<0.049); RTF (SOmaxP: 33.3 ± 1.1 reps [44.8% increase] vs. 27.8 ± 1.1 reps [20.9% increase], p<0.004); and fat mass (SOmaxP: 12.06 ± 0.53 kg [9.8% decrease] vs. 13.90 ± 0.53 kg [4.1% increase], p<0.024). No statistically significant differences in systemic hemodynamics (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressures) or clinical blood chemistries (glucose, BUN-to-creatinine ratio, sodium, potassium, serum protein, albumin-to-globulin ratio, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triacylglycerol, LDL- cholesterol, CBC) were noted.

Conclusions: These preliminary data indicate that compared to CP, SOmaxP administration augments gains in lean mass, bench press strength, and muscular performance during nine weeks of intense resistance training. Ongoing studies are attempting to confirm these results and clarify the molecular mechanisms by which SOmaxP exerts the observed salutary effects.

Let me know if you guys have any questions. Also, does anyone else find it funny numerous companies have been talking about doing studies on their products/ingredients yet it's been months or years with nothing to show? Enjoy.

Taste is highly subjective so I can't say what you will think... that is the honest answer. I do know many prefer it over the others, while I prefer Wild Berry and citrus ice in that order, but once I added more water and some Grape Cytomax for longer, endurance cardio I really, really came to enjoy Blue Raz.

You might like Citrus ice best judging by your feedback.

Ive been wanting the blue raz flavor of intrabolic but for the past few weeks its been on backorder so I was forced to buy wild berry punch and I think its too sweet and not tangy/citrus-y enough lol.

How does blue raz compare to wild berry in taste?

Blue raz is shipping to bb.com tomorrow and I would think at some point next week it will be back in stock.

Both are very popular, with the blue raz being slightly less sweet and more tart.

My top two would have to be CL Purple Intrain or MST RPG.

I noticed a great improvement in recovery with the RPG.

Intrain helped me stay a bit stronger throughout my workout.

Thanks for the kind words, I love the recovery aspect of RPG and the smooth taste and no froth.

I haven't tried Intrain yet, but CL makes quality products.
