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 support. you like intrain over wraath?
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.
did you get a chance to try intrain when we had the free samples?

CL
If I am doing my workouts first thing in the morning 30 minutes after my pre workout meal, when is it okay to take coffee?
As soon as I wake up I take REDuction, preworkout meal 30 mins later, followed by GM/WF 15 mins later then I leave for the gym and sip on my purple wraath.
I only started taking coffee last week as I felt it really woke me up when I was still sluggish, will it have any affect on the supplements if I take it with my preworkout meal or should I take it way before that?

09-05-2010, 07:58 AM
Using Complx5 before and after workout gives you a lot of extra proteins and carbohydrates that are vital during exerecise...........If you ask me,using a good supplement before and during exercise is just as important as it is to have a good supplemet after exercise.........

Currently, we don't have any samples but if you look closely at the profile, read the reviews and know the products reputation, you will see there's nothing like IntrAbolic.
IntrAbolic covers your intra-workout needs effectively, with the highest quality ingredients and offers great value with 40 serving per tub.
It's not a BCAA supplement, but a complete intra-workout formula containing
1. Our custom hydrolyzed whey(WPH), that is comprised of 70-80 rapidly absorbed di-and tripeptides, which is the highest I am aware of in an intra-workout product. NO intact regular protein like whey or milk, that requires digestion and is NOT optimal to take DURING ones workout
2. A full spectrum of free-form essential amino-acids(ffEAAs), not just the BCAAs
3. Just between the WPH and ffEAAs, you are getting 9.5grams per serving and again 40 servings per tub
4. 1.6g of beta-alanine per serving
5. Electrolytes for fluid absorption and muscular contraction
6. Light tasting, mixes easily and very easy to use during intense training session where lack of GI distress is of up most importance
IntrAbolic Reviews- http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=111486511&highlight=Athletic+Edge+nutrition
Its one if not the highest customer rated intra-workout product on bb.com(9.2)- http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ae/intrabolic.html

Xtend all day and all night.
It's no magic supplement, but it helps a little in recovery.
The reason I love it so much is because it tastes AMAZING. As long as you mix it 5 minutes before drinking it it mixes better than any supplement I've ever had.
The watermelon is easily the best tasting supplement I've ever tried HANDS DOWN. It also helps me recovery faster and gets me drinking a ton of water during workouts. Considering it's cheap I will use it as long as I'm using an intra.

You can mix them for the best of both worlds, but you really only need one or the other. With wraath you get a protein and carb free mix with the free form essential amino acids. With intrain you get the carbs and hydrolyzed protein. There are some other differences as well. We offer both so people have choices :)

What is the difference between Purple intrain and Purple Wrath.
Looks to me that Intrain the meant for intra workout and purple wrath is pre-intra-post.
Can anyone shed some light on why everyone is choosing purple wrath over intrain?

these are the major differences (others exist as well)
purple intrain = hydrolyzed whey protein, banaba and carbs
purple wraath = free form essential amino acids, carb and protein free
either can be used intra workout, you dont need both unless you want to combine them at a smaller dose each (i.e 1 scoop of each mixed)

The change from training with no intra supplement to using an intra supplement has made a huge difference. My first "real" intra is purple wraath, when I first started taking it the flavour did nothing for me, then after several days I started craving it..... The effect on the workout helps me push myself that bit further, focus more, push harder and really feel the benefit from it. Now to try in-train and the other CL products! Good job Controlled Labs ;)

Xtend is a great product. I liked that, but nothing beats the ingredients in Purple Wraath. Not just that, but the taste! All I do, is just add a little bit of glutamine in with purple wraath, and there you have it, the best intra-workout drink ever.
Leads me to question, is glutamine best to take post-workout or intra-workout? cause xtend has some.

Ill Mix 5 scoops BCAA and 3 scoops glutamine in a big jug and sip on it...not just during training but also between meals..
For all you GNC haters...Try Beverly International's Glutamine Select..Black Cherry..Tastes good.
Neither one of these 2 products clump with leucine floaters..

now that i am cutting i have been taking sizeon precontest, the orange flavour, which tastes incredible and keeps me going through my sessions.
has 10g protein, 5g leucine and a whole heap of creatines.
its only 50 cals too which is excellent while on a cut.

Just last week I was in the 3 letter store, and I wanted to check out VPX Power Shock..I will admit I saw so many people with a tub of it in the "supplement stash" thread I had to try it. I saw 2 tubs of the grape flavor on the bottom shelf...covered in dust, and expiring 9/2011 and asked if they wanted to get rid of it. I got each tub for $10 figuring what the heck! Personally, I love the taste, not sure of any results yet, but flavor is great - and I love to sip on something intra workout. The only better intra product I have taken was green mag...basically a green jolly rancher, drink!

Nothing can compare to IntrAbolic from both an ingredient stand point and customer feedback standpoint. Also, it contains ALL the ESSENTIAL amino acids need to build muscle, unlike the incomplete bcaa products. Of course the's way more to IntrAbolic than its complete EAA profile. ;) And THIS month, if you buy one IntrAbolic, you get ONE CreatineRT for free.

From trying out both Purple wrath/Intrabolic I have to say intrabolic far exceeds purple wrath, and I notice it much more now that I'm on a cut (keto-diet). Although I have to give purple wrath some credit, its very cheap and has a good profile but the wild berry intrabolic+profile makes it a better overall product.
Although I'm tempted to try out size on to see what the fuzz is all about (I don't need it since I'm already taking intrabolic and creatine RT in my current stack).

There are no cheap intra workout drinks, Xtend/PW are the cheapest you can get (for that value of price)
your best bet is bulk BCAA+carbs or something of the sorts.

I have tried a few of these products, but not all and I am going to save my money in the future. They make my belly sick unless I drink a gallon of water with them and that doesn't exactly help my workouts.
I am open to samples from any of the reps on these boards. If you feel your product will convince me that it is worth the cost, time, and effort to take it during my workouts, then I will gladly take them and give credit where credit is due.

Charuto222

Intrabolic is #1 hands down. I'd give 2nd to purple psyKO - and if you factor in cost per serving I think either one could take the top spot in terms of bang for your buck. Di-tripeptides > free form aminos hands down for intra-workout drinks IMO. If you're going to go for the most rapid absorption then you may as well go for the fastest possible which as far as amino technology allows now is the di-tripeptide based products like Intrabolic and PsyKO.
If I use a free form amino acid based product it's going to be Purple Wraath since it has a complete amino profile and beta alanine added to it. Trial and error has taught me that BCAAs alone are inferior to full spectrum EAAs and di-tripeptides.

Ive tried: Jack3d, AminoEnergy, Assault, C4, and BPI's SSA's.
Jack3d was scary good. So I stopped using it (When the banned substance was in it)
AminoEnergy taste good and the pump is nice, but you have to take 6 servings to get it.
C4 is also pretty tasty, but it made me **** my pants after every workout
BPI's SSA's are decent, but I only had a sample size.
AND LAST
Assault, I just started using this last week and the pump is amazing with only 1/2 a scoop.
The only bad thing is that the tropical flavor I bought has to be the worst tasting pre workout ever..

I have been hunting for an answer about this Supplement. It disturbs me that the answer is not easily obtained. The 8-1-1 ratio is great and exactly what im looking for BUT i also see that "Sustamine" ingredient included and how does that equate to an 8-1-1 ratio as the 4th ingredient? They need to make this clearer.

I just tried Controlled Labs Purple PsyKO. Smells like rotten eggs in my opinion.
I don't think intra-workouts are worth the money at all. It's not like drinking something in the middle of your workout is going to make a bigger difference than taking it 30 minutes before working out. It's just marketing. I think a pre-workout would be money better spent, or even just some whey/creatine.
Even wrote an article about it: http://getmusclelosefat.com/supplements/intra-workout-supplement-truth/

I have been using a mixture of MusclePharm's AMINO1 and Amino Recovery bb.com Platinum Series and both are awesome products. I feel that everything clicks better with AMINO1 but Amino Recovery has a hearty dose of L-Citrulline which I love along with the spectacular flavor. Can't go wrong with either product in my mind.
I've never tried X tend but after reading through this thread, I'll probably grab some next time I order from bb.com.
