Englutarade and the end of smokinfool's lazy muscle syndrome

[SmokinFool]

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.

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!

[tatteredsaint]

no doms is either real good or real bad only one way to tell in my book increase the load and see what's happenin

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
