*New Core PWO - Vanilla Tiramisu* 3 Loggers/Testers Wanted!

[AllGenetix]

Finally, after months of unexpected delays, I am very happy to announce that Core Nutritionals is bringing you the next new flavor of Core PWO....Vanilla Tiramisu!

The Ultimate, All-in-One Post Workout Recovery Shake is finally here!

Post workout (PWO) nutrition is absolutely crucial to reaching your fitness and physique goals. The immediate goal post workout is to maximize glycogen storage and protein synthesis while at the same time minimizing protein breakdown and catabolic (muscle wasting) hormones. Proper PWO nutrition will help the body repair muscle tissue, reduces post-workout soreness, raises testosterone and growth hormone levels, and reduces cortisol levels. In order to accomplish this, one needs the correct supply of carbohydrates and amino acids.Core PWO was designed to take the guesswork out of PWO recovery. This product contains the fast-acting proteins and carbs (whey isolate, dextrose, and maltodextrin) needed to maximize muscle recovery after weight training. These ingredients quickly replenish muscle glycogen and shuttle much needed amino acids to muscle cells. In addition, Core PWO contains added branch chain amino acids (BCAAs), glutamine, taurine, and antioxidants to help prevent catabolism and improve muscle growth and recovery. Whether you are bulking up or slimming down, all of these ingredients are crucial for proper recovery.

Each serving of Core PWO (2 scoops) contains:

Carbs: 43 g of the fast-acting carbs dextrose and maltodextrin
Protein: 28 g of protein from cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate- 4 g of additional branch chain amino acids (BCAAs)- 2 g of additional L-glutamine
Antioxidants: 250 mg Vitamin C & 100 IU Vitamin E
Additional recovery aids: 1 g of taurine

Post Workout Recovery and Core PWO

Post workout (PWO) nutrition is absolutely crucial to reaching your fitness and physique goals. The immediate goal post workout is to maximize glycogen storage and protein synthesis while at the same time minimizing protein breakdown and catabolic (muscle wasting) hormones. Proper PWO nutrition will help the body repair muscle tissue, reduces post-workout soreness, raises testosterone and growth hormone levels, and reduces cortisol levels. In order to accomplish this, one needs the correct supply of carbohydrates and amino acids.

Core PWO was designed to take the guesswork out of PWO recovery. This product contains the fast-acting proteins and carbs (whey isolate, dextrose, and maltodextrin) needed to maximize muscle recovery after weight training. These ingredients quickly replenish muscle glycogen and shuttle much needed amino acids to muscle cells. In addition, Core PWO contains added branch chain amino acids (BCAAs), glutamine, taurine, and antioxidants to help prevent catabolism and improve muscle growth and recovery.

Whether you are bulking up or slimming down, all of these ingredients are crucial for proper recovery. Let’s take a detailed look at the contents of Core PWO and break down the theory behind post workout recovery.

Carbs

As mentioned above, one of the main goals post workout is to restore muscle glycogen, which has been depleted during the workout. The body will even break down muscle tissue for this purpose if adequate carbohydrates are not available. For this reason, it is vital to include carbohydrates in the post-workout drink.

As glycogen and glucose is used for energy during your workout, blood glucose levels begin to drop-off. This leads to a sharp decrease in insulin levels and this decrease of insulin gives rise to the catabolic hormone cortisol. Cortisol is used to convert muscle tissue to proteins for conversion into glucose when stored energy forms are depleted. Your body will go into a process called gluconeogenesis which produces glucose from amino acids in the liver.

This high level of cortisol and low level of insulin must be reversed immediately following a workout in order to create an anabolic environment. Cortisol can be quickly suppressed and gluconeogenesis can be halted by a burst of insulin caused by fast-acting carbs (high on the glycemic index). High GI carbs raise blood sugar and hence insulin levels quickly. Post-workout is the one time of day you want to eat these insulin-spiking carbs. Normally, it is best to eat lower glycemic foods (such as Core-MRP) so as avoid large swings in blood sugar and an insulin spike. But post-workout, the opposite is true. Fast acting carbs will cause an insulin spike, which will stimulate glycogen storage, shuttle carbs into the muscles, increase amino acid utilization, and blunt cortisol.

The ideal fast-acting carbs for PWO nutrition are dextrose (glucose) and maltodextrin (glucose polymers). Dextrose can be absorbed directly through the gut into the bloodstream and can cause an insulin response faster than any other carb. Additionally, since dextrose is already in the form the body requires, it can be used immediately for glycogen replenishment.

Even though maltodextrin is considered a complex carb, it is ideally suited to be used PWO because it is essentially a chain of loosely bonded glucose molecules. Like dextrose, maltodextrin is absorbed directly through the gut and raises blood sugar and insulin levels very quickly. However, before maltodextrin can be fully utilized and incorporated into muscle glycogen, it must first pass through the liver for the bonds between the glucose molecules to be broken. Even though it cannot be utilized to replace muscle glycogen as fast as dextrose can, because it is metabolized slower, there will not be as quick of a drop of insulin and blood sugar levels as with dextrose. Therefore, a mixture of both dextrose and maltodextrin, like that is found in Core PWO, is ideal for a post workout recovery shake.

It is vital to get these carbs to the muscle cells as quickly as possible following a training session; the sooner you begin the recovery process, the more likely it will be completed in time for your next training session. As soon as your workout is finished, you should consume a liquid meal that is rich in high-glycemic carbs (and amino acids). Your post workout liquid meal should also avoid fat and fibrous carbs which will slow down absorption and non-beneficial sugars such as fructose, sucrose, and lactose.

Protein

In addition to replenishing the glycogen fuel burned during the workout, rebuilding the muscle tissue that was torn down during the workout is also a crucial component to muscle recovery.

Protein and carbohydrates work hand in hand post workout; both glycogen and protein synthesis proceed faster when carbohydrates and protein are consumed together. In addition to blunting cortisol and stopping gluconeogenesis, the carb induced insulin response will help shuttle amino acids to the muscles. An influx of amino acid will create a positive nitrogen balance and thus an anabolic environment for building and retaining muscle.
Similar to carbs, the quicker the protein can be deliver to the muscles cells, the sooner the recovery and repair process can begin. Whole food sources of protein should be avoided immediately post workout because it takes too long for the body to break down these high protein foods. Ideally one should incorporate a fast acting protein source such as whey protein isolate or hydrolyzed whey into their PWO shake. Like whole foods, slower digesting protein powders such as casein, egg, and soy would not be ideal post workout.

In addition to utilizing cross-flow microfiltered whey protein isolate, Core PWO contains additional BCAAs and glutamine. BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) are quickly absorbed into circulation and immediately available to be used rebuild muscle proteins. Leucine itself has been shown to have a greater stimulatory effect on protein synthesis than any other amino acid. Adding BCAAs, in addition to whey isolate, only further increases the rate of skeletal muscle protein synthesis post workout.

Supplementation of glutamine, the most abundant amino acid within blood and muscle cells, also helps maintain a positive nitrogen balance in muscle tissue. Levels of glutamine within blood and muscle cells fall during strenuous exercise, and many researchers believe that glutamine may prevent some of the muscle breakdown that occurs during strenuous exercise. Glutamine also has a myriad of other benefits that may help increase muscle repair. Recent studies have shown that taking just 2 grams of l-glutamine can increase growth hormone levels by 400%. Glutamine can also helps boost the immune system, cell volumization, and glycogen replenishment.

Antioxidants

Thousands of reactions occur within the body as a result of intense physical training. The result of some of these reactions can be the formation of free radicals, destructive oxygen atoms. Exercise induced oxidative stress can be cured through proper PWO supplementation of antioxidants such as vitamin C and E. Vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin, acts as a powerful anti-oxidant and seems to blunt the release of cortisol during high intensity or prolonged training. Vitamin E, a fat-soluble vitamin, acts similarly to vitamin C as a strong antioxidant. Consuming these antioxidants could reduce post-workout muscle tissue damage, speed recovery, and boost immune function.

Additional Recovery Aids

Core PWO also contains taurine to help aid in the recovery process. Taurine, a semi-essential amino acid, has been shown to have a cell-volumizing effect, which can boost hydration and help increase protein synthesis. Taurine also helps support proper nitric-oxide (NO) production and is also important to the body’s metabolism of fats. Additionally, taurine has also been shown to have an antioxidant effect and can help boost the immune system.

Tell me why I should select YOU?: Bodybuilding is such an important aspect of my life it's literally come to define it. The same principles I apply in the gym carry over into every area of my life: Discipline, Dedication, Patience, Sacrifice, Humility, Hard Work, Determination, always setting goals. Moreover, I'm a supplement skeptic. The market is flooded with products that get by with fancy labels, do-nothing prop blends, and industry hype. If I don't like a product, I'm fair and honest about it and share my objective, personal experience regarding that product. If a product does work, I'm sure to sing it's praises en masse, as it's distinguished itself from the ocean of crappy products people throw their money away on.

Looking forward to hearing back from you, good luck with your selections!

[CAMPAIGN]

Age: 26

Sex: Male

Height: 6'0"

Weight: 182lbs.

Bodytype: Ectomorph-Mesomorph

Training experience: I started training seriously near the end of university in order to get in better shape for hockey. As my hockey career came to an end, the passion and dedication that I developed during this time translated into a love for lifting weights. Like most other beginners, I picked up a tub of pre-workout and hit the gym lifting every weight possible, with a blatant disregard for proper form and nutrition. After seeing minimal results, I decided that it was time to properly educate myself on the science of bodybuilding, using this website and reading many books to gain knowledge. As a result I learned about the importance of proper nutrition and the various training methods that can be used to achieve one's goal, for instance a ketogenic diet for cutting. After building a solid foundation, I truly began my journey to obtaining my ultimate physique through the process of bulking, cutting, and recomping. The beauty of bodybuilding is that it is a lifelong journey, one that has no real beginning or end. After realizing this, I learned that the only way people come to this level of understanding is by asking questions and hearing others' personal experiences and in order for me to share what I've learned I got my Personal Training and Nutritional Wellness Certification. From there the rest is history and I've been venturing on this never ending journey since.

Current Training Schedule/Protocol: I just recently finished a very successful summer cut about 6 weeks ago, in which I lost just over 18lbs. and achieved a sub 6% bodyfat percentage. I was so lean and shredded that I felt almost too skinny! I knew that I didn't want to lose any more weight so I decided to recomp, with the ultimate goal of gaining a few pounds of lean muscle mass while still being lean. This brings us to today, where I am 4 weeks into my recomp following Lyle McDonald's UD 2.0, which is basically a carb cycling diet specifically for cutting or recomping. I'll touch on the nutrition aspect later, but the program works on a 4 days on, 3 days off protocol with workouts focused on depletion, tension, and power (all full body). A sample of this program looks like the following:

Sample Depletion Workout
TUESDAY
Leg Press [3 x 15]
Leg Curls [3 x 15]
Chest Press [3 x 15]
Rows [3 x 15]
Lateral Raises [2-3 x 15]
Calf Raises [3 x 15]
Bicep Curls [2 x 15]
Tricep Pushdowns [2 x 15]
Repeat Twice

WEDNESDAY

Leg Curls [3 x 15]
Incline Chest Press [3 x 15]
Pulldowns [3 x 15]
Lateral Raises [2-3 x 15]

Bicep Curls [2 x 15]
Tricep Pushdowns [2 x 15]
Repeat Twice

Sample Tension Workout

superset with...
Rear Lateral Raises [2-3 x 3-6]
Barbell Curls [1-2 x 3-6]
superset with...
Close Grip Bench Press [1-2 x 3-6]

Cardio Schedule/Protocol: Since I am currently recomping cardio isn't my first priority, as I find that these depletion workouts alone are enough to burn fat and keep me lean. Sometimes during my off days I'll hit the gym for some LISS cardio, going for 45-60 minutes to really get in that fat burning zone. I also occasionally play competitive hockey during the week, as I find this to be a great cardio session!

Current Diet & Macros: As I mentioned in the intro, the UD 2.0 is essentially a carb cycling diet in which I eat a low amount of carbs from Tuesday to Friday afternoon and then carb up from Friday night to Saturday night. The remaining two days, Sunday and Monday, I start with a high amount of complex carbs and then gradually work my way down to low carb fibrous veggies again. I won't get too specific with food in this application, but you can bet that I'll post every single macro if I'm chosen to log this product! These are my macros for a week:

Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday Morning: Low Carb
Carbs: 100g
Fat: 95g
Protein: 206g

MEAL 1
- 1.5 Cups of Egg Whites
- 1 packet of 100% Whole Grain Oatmeal
- 1 Whole Egg
- 20g of Mozzarella Cheese

MEAL 2
- Gaspari Nutrition Banana Perfection Shake
- 55g Chicken Breast
- 1oz Walnuts

MEAL 3 (Preworkout)
- 120g Sweet Potato
- Chicken Breast

MEAL 4
- Optimum Nutrition Chocolate Coconut Protein

MEAL 5 (Postworkout)
- Chicken Breast
- 1.5 Cups Brussel Sprouts

MEAL 6
- Tuna
- 1oz Almonds

MEAL 7
- XF UP 2.0 Cinnamon Roll Shake
- 2tbsp. Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter

Friday night - Saturday Night: Carb Up
Carbs: 1,155-1,320g
Fat: 50g (maximum)
Protein: 180g
Fructose: 50g (maximum)
Sucrose: 100g (maximum)

Sunday: Moderate Carbs
Carbs: 330-412g (complex sources}
Fat: 40-50g
Protein: 180g

Monday: Moderate Carb
Carbs: 165-247g (complex sources to veggies only)
Fat: 120g
Protein: 180g

Current Daily water intake: Because of the overall effectiveness that water has on the body as well as with maximizing the results of a caloric surplus I currently am taking in 6-7 litres of water a day. I'm Canadian, so if I do the conversion correctly I believe that it is close to 2 gallons a day. I also place a strong emphasis water intake during carb up as each gram of glycogen you store stores ~3g of water along with it, so ensuring proper water intake will make sure my muscles are as full and hydrated as they can be.

Short Term Goal: Since I am currently recomping my goal is to remain around the 182lbs. mark, while staying lean and maintaining a low bodyfat percentage. As I noted earlier, I am 4 weeks into Lyle McDonald's UD 2.0 and I'm absolutely loving it! Not only have I remained as lean as I was when I finished cutting, I can visibly see muscle gain in the mirror. And to top it off my vascularity is off the charts! This is actually the first time that I've ever seen thick veins in my delts.

Long Term Goal: My current recomp plan will lead nicely into my bulking phase of the year, where I hope to put on 10-15lbs. of lean muscle. I'm already thinking that I'm going to follow Layne Norton's Ultimate Bulking Diet as I had a lot of success with his precontest cutting diet. Just thinking about bulking is getting me excited haha. It'll feel good once I can start packing back the food again. I'm hoping to compete in a show in early 2012 so I won't be bulking for very long until I have to get into pre-contest mode.

ANY and ALL Prescription/Non-Prescription/Recreational drugs: None

Supplement History: I have tried a copious amount of different supplements from various different companies for all kinds of goals i.e., bulking, cutting, and recomping. I should note however, that I am all natural and have only ever tried Clen when it comes to banned substances. One of my favourite supplements of all time is Purple Wraath as well as FlashOver for intra and preworkout. I also keep a detailed inventory of every supplement that I've ever taken so that I can give other members active feedback on my experiences and results with them. I occasionally enjoy a postworkout shake for taste and variety from repetitive food and therefore have tried many of the products in this category, this includes: Golden Gains & FinisH, ProComplex, Dark Matter, Anabolic Halo, GluceVOL, etc. I have never tried Core PWO before, but I am really pumped about this opportunity! My current supplement stack, which is coming to an end in a couple days is:
- Controlled Labs Orange Triad
- Jamieson Fish Oil
- Jamieson Vitamin C & D
- Controlled Labs Blue Gene
- Driven Sports Lean Xtreme
- SNS Agmatine
- Controlled Labs White Flood V2

Tell me why I should select YOU?
Because I can say with confidence that I am the best damn logger on bodybuilding.com No, seriously. My logs speak for themselves. Admittedly, I am a supplement junkie so I have a vast experience with many different types of products and therefore am able to provide honest, accurate, and non-biased feedback. If selected I plan on comparing this product to the various other postworkout products that I've tried, so I feel as though my log would reflect the true potential of this awesome product.

great apps so far!

Age:

Gender:

Weight:
145

Training experience:
Active entire life, but ~6 weeks ago, I REALLY got tired being the scrawny, lanky guy. I'm pretty athletic, and stronger than most people think because of my appearance, but never get enough credit. I've lifted on and off ever since getting into high school but I never really saw any results; disheartened, I always went back to my old habit of playing pick up games of basketball, and not concentrating on my body. I've taken up weight lifting again, but I changed a few things. I've worked on what I'm eating and started taking supplements. It's really helping, I've gained a few lbs and I'm working my way towards a healthy weight. As far as the training goes, I'm lifting heavier and heavier, pushing my body to its limits; the results are making me really motivated to continue and make strides in my daily habits.

Current Training Goals:
Gain muscle. Currently I'm 6' 1"; always have had a tough time gaining weight, but things are looking up these past six weeks. I've been a vegetarian my whole life, so I don't get protein from meat like most people. I've started to use some supplements and they've helped me for the better, but I've still got a ways to go to reach my goal of 20 lbs in lean muscle by December.

Training Schedule/Protocol:
I work on a 4 day rotation.
Day 1: Chest/triceps. Abs.
Day 2: Back/biceps.
Day 3: Quads/hamstrings. Abs.
Day 4: Shoulders/Calves.
Repeat.

Cardio Schedule/Protocol:
HITT for ~15-20 minutes before weight lifting (Mostly just to warm my muscle up and get me going). I've got great endurance... I'm the guy that can sit on the couch for a month and then go run two miles without being exhausted. I play basketball a lot because I love it, but those days I just stay away from HITT.

Current Supplements:
ON Whey, NO-Xplode, KreAlkalyn, Multivitamin.

Tell me why I should select YOU?
I'm not the guy who's been weight lifting since puberty nor am I the guy with many experiences. Last December I was playing in a 3-on-3 basketball tournament (play every year), and our team was pretty good. Our post game was decent, but when we faced a taller/stronger/heavier center, our team had a hard time. I'm usually playing the post, and these guys would just man handle me; it got tough, and we didn't win because these guys would out muscle me.. I let me teammates down. I'm working on my body and most importantly, my strength, to bring IT this year. I'm a full time student (pre-med) and I don't really have the money to go out and buy all these expensive supplements to test (on top of all the food I buy, because I can eat like a horse). I'm really just looking for stuff that's going to work, stuff that I can count on... stuff that's going to help me reach my goal. All I can give you is my word that you won't be disappointed that you picked me... I'm highly motivated, I'm responsible, I'm dependable, and I'm honest.
