Englutarade and the end of smokinfool's lazy muscle syndrome

[SmokinFool]

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2839941&stc=1&d=1289141933

Thank you Tatteredsaint and the rest of the Betancourt crew for allowing me to test out Englutarade!!!

My workout is a four day breakdown....
Day 1 Shoulder/Traps
Day 2 Chest/Tri's
Day 3 Back/Bi's
Day 4 legs

I will occasionally throw in a 5th day for clean up. I am looking forward to Englutarade fruit punch flavor and the end of lazy muscles.
Dosage will be 1 scoop pre and then 1 scoop post immediately following my workout.

Here's what Betancourt has listed on there site about Englutarade.......

Reinforce Muscle Glutamine, Electrolyte & Energy Levels NOW!
Our hardest of hardcore customers told us that even when they’ve eaten enough calories and gotten enough rest, their muscles sometimes feel “lazy” and incapable of growth. To help them out, we wanted to give them a different kind of energy than you normally hear people talk about; a type of energy that would support the very processes that allow their muscles to endure high-intensity workouts at the gym and become bigger and stronger in the days that follow.

“Anaplerosis” describes that different kind of energy. And new ENGLUTARADE™ is the world’s first anaplerotic muscle drink mix†. With a proprietary 5000-mg glutamine blend containing a liquid-stable form of glutamine, ENGLUTARADE™ was designed to help rapidly, conveniently and deliciously reinforce critical biochemical processes inside your muscles†. One of these is the TCA cycle, a key ATP-producing pathway that is literally at the heart of muscular performance. Subjects taking 0.125 g of l-glutamine per kilogram (2.2 lb) of body weight (~10 g of l-glutamine for a 180-lb athlete) increased the level of TCA intermediates during exercise compared to those receiving a placebo (399% vs. 260%)(see reference 1 under SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT, below.)

To give your muscles even more positive reinforcement, Betancourt Nutrition’s R&D scientists added electrolytes to ENGLUTARADE™ in amounts equivalent to a leading sports drink. And it contains 833% the daily value of vitamin C!

Here we go!!

I woke up and ripped open my bottle of ENGLUTARADE....much to my surprise of a yellow colored powder, the color reminded me of a Dijon mustard. My first impression was WTF am I going to ingest. Anyway 1 mixed scoop and about 10 oz of water and it turned fruit punch red and I felt a whole lot better about it. It mixed pretty well and the flavor was ok.

I still need to try bullnox, I might just include it in this weekends supplement order

Dosage....1 scoop pre w/8oz of water and 1 scoop post. It is no longer an opinion on water...if your taking it solo then only use 8 oz of water.

Message for the day.....Next time dont wait!

My workout partner was running late today and his 10 mins tardy cost me some work. My time in the gym is all very valuable and very timed as I need to leave by a certain time to get home and get the kids ready for school. Anyway here's what we got done today and I may go in tomorrow and finish up tri's..depending on DOMS.

Although my work load today was pretty weak, my chest. shoulder and Traps look full and solid. Probably to early to tell but recovery and Doms were non-exsistant. That tells me one of 2 things.... 1. this product rocks....or 2. I need to put more work in on my shoulder day.

Off to do my Daddy duties..Have a good day!

Very true, sometimes I like soreness to realize I did something the day before but nothing overpowering

[SmokinFool]

I agree with you both! It seems a bit to early to feel the affects of it....My traps are a little sore though... Either way this is going to be a sweet run

Bullnox is pretty solid over the last couple of workouts ..it give me consistent energy without the shakes or tingles...so far its pretty solid.

Englutarade.....My chest is pretty sore today but my tri's are not which is great. Normally its the other way around..other than that happy so far with the product..

[bbqwizard]

Once you get your form down on straight arm pulldowns they will be less "Awkward", at least they did for me:)

[tatteredsaint]

I had almost zero soreness from back and bicep day!!! This is absolutely living up to its billing in the first two weeks. Bullnox is not to bad itself, I took a scoop and a half today and had great sustainable energy for the entire work out and much after.
Today was a make up day for yesterday....Had a late night thursday..

Getting ready for the holiday will be smoking 2 turkeys..1 for Thanksgiving and 1 for a second Thanksgiving on Saturday... I am very thankful I am NOT Tatteredsaint right now and cutting over the holidays..http://assets.bodybuilding.com/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif

[kfairhurst]

MMMmmm.... Smoked Turkey sounds delicious!

Great work in here man, glad to hear your liking the product!

[furyhockey]

If tattered doesn't have a cheat meal over the holiday's I will resign all of my duties on here :D

[jquintinjr]

Hey man great log! Glad to hear your enjoying engluterade as much as I am :cool:

I wish I could post exercise sets and reps as u do in my log but honestly I don't have a scheduled routine for each day. I always try to mix it up.

Keep up the great log man! Doing great.

[tatteredsaint]

haha u suck :p I'm still going to eat on turkey day it's going to be my cheat day and I'm going to stay away from certain foods, I'm making a dark chocolate carmel candied pecan cheesecake --(almost sugar free ,low carb , fat free filling) :D it's good to be an ex chef when cutting makes things a lil more survivable , looks like your workouts are going pretty solid ur gonna need that bullnox n englutarade to motivate your ass to burn all those cals off ;)

[SmokinFool]

BOOO! Try to rest up as much as you can. Have to be well for all the nom noms on Thursday:D We have to give our bodies reason to suck up all that food. Being sick won't help;)

[kfairhurst]

Hope your feeling better man, Engluterade should help with that with the high dose of Vit C, and the Vit E along with the Glutamine. Toss down a few servings a day and see what happens :)

As of today I have ran through my cycle of antibiotics and feel like 90% of the crud in my lungs are gone no more fever so its time.

Yeah man its good stuff!! I wanted to carry on about it more but its a englutarade and trying to keep it more about it,, But bullnox is spot on brother!! It will definitely become a staple as long as it stays like it has been.

What flavor of Bullnox do you have? I seriously can't get over the flavoring of all of them and every product on our line lol. Just tried Grape and wow seriously, I thought Blue Razz was amazing.

You honestly won't be disappointed with any of them. Grape is on a new level!

I have noticed more endurance especially when I finish a particular body part with a little FST-7. I really like the fact of no crash, getting up at 415 -430 kicks my ars about 2 in the afternoon...with some other pre workouts hell by 830 I would need to pull over and sleep for a few.

Cool man I might have to try out some grape

Well unfortunately today was the last of the Englutarade and right now I want to rate it through the roof, but if the Betancourt reps don't mind I will post my final review in one weeks time so I can get past the smoke filled glasses and give a review from a week off stand point

If I reviewed it today 9/10

[tatteredsaint]

nice job in here bro , we are patient and will wait and if u could when u rate please rate the product in the store for us

defeat the fartsack ;)

[furyhockey]

great log man it was fun following along can't wait to see a final review!

[SmokinFool]

I originally wanted to come back here in a week and give my final review after a solid week off, but after spending the last few days without Englutarade I want you to catch you up on the days up to my review......

Last FRI

Legs

Complete destruction I wont list all the details but if you had followed my log over the last month it remained the same wt wise but I added a set to almost everything but Leg ext where I kept that at 7... Had great strength,energy and resilience.

Chest from thursday a little bit of DOMS but nothing spectacular, even thought in the back of my head I didnt work hard enough.

[SmokinFool]

DOMS.......
Chest== nada

Legs ===Some

[SmokinFool]

Doms====0....none.....nada

Once again found myself asking did I work hard enough....should I go in for an extra session?

[SmokinFool]

Shoulders/Traps..

Had a solid day with very little let down.

[SmokinFool]

Back/Biceps

Struggled with my FST-7's (thank god for Bullnox!)
Volume was solid.

Doms...Yes..Normally I dont experience Doms as much after shoulders......

[SmokinFool]

Off Day!!!

DOMS....WTF absolutely are you seeing a trend........ not a week post Englutarade full Doms are back.. My review will be posted tomorrow, I hit chest and tri's today so I'll have that to speak on as well....STAY TUNED

[tatteredsaint]

same bro. i had leg day yesterday and i have to go up stairs on all fours no joke

[SmokinFool]

First off I want to Thank Tatteredsaint and the Betancourt crew for giving me the chance to log Englutarade!


My dosage for the entire bottle was pretty consistent other than the week I was off for Bronchitis. ! scoop pre and 1 scoop post. During he week of sick I took 1 scoop when I woke up. The caffeine in Englutarade is just enough to get your a$$ moving in the morning to get me out the door and off to the gym, about a week and a half after I started I added some Bullnox!! PERFECT!! Anyway I was surprised at how fast it worked for speeding up the Doms. Normally I have 2-3 days of soreness depending on the muscles trained and of course the amount of volume. Englutarade was always perfect at keeping the recovery down to 1 day max. I have now been a solid week without it and I am starting to recover slower and almost back at 2-3 days. I'll sum up my rambling.......

Smokinfool WITHOUT Englutarade

Congrats Betancourt on producing a superior product and for not being cheap and supplying a REAL scoop actually long enough to get to the bottom of the bottle without having to get your hand stuck. So if your looking for a faster recovery look no further than Englutarade you will not be sorry..by the way its priced damn nice as well $29.99 on BB.com

9.99/10 I shorted you .01 because I dont have a lifetime supply http://assets.bodybuilding.com/forum/images/icons/icon12.gif

[tatteredsaint]

thanks for the solid review kris glad u enjoyed the product
