[size=3]MyoFUEL is the ULTIMATE Intra-Workout performance enhancing, muscle-building supplement! Infused with the PATENTED form of protein known as PeptoProŽ, a highly unique PRE-DIGESTED amino acid preparation, STANDARDIZED to contain at least 80% Di and Tri Peptides! PeptoPro is the FUTURE of protein and amino acid supplementation! As a result of it's unique properties and characteristics, PeptoPro is absorbed so rapidly and enters the bloodstream so quickly, that it can be compared to literally INJECTING PROTEIN! In fact, PeptoPro has been SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN to actually build muscle WHILE you exercise!
[IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/2mosgup.jpg[/IMG]
PeptoPro is 100% pure pre-digested casein protein. This means that the casein protein has been broken down into small peptides of two or three amino acids. The amino acids in PeptoPro absorb better than amino acids in single form. Delivering amino acids quickly in to the bloodstream helps protect the muscles during exercise and reduces muscle damage, while also stimulating anabolic activity. For instance, in the second hour of exercise, the body gets 5 –15% of its energy from amino acids! Even more importantly, Without consumption of amino acids during that time, the body will literally scavenge it from muscle tissue (catabolism), which is why weight-training by itself is indeed catabolic. PeptoPro also exhibits anabolic action by stimulating muscle protein synthesis and increasing nitrogen retention. MyoFUEL actually starts building muscle during your workouts! When amino acid levels are elevated during exercise, it actually increases the muscle building potential after exercise. In addition to maximizing muscle growth after exercise, supplementation with short chain peptides has been shown to promote recovery of muscle force better than regular whey or casein protein.

PeptoPro is not only absorbed better than whole foods, it is absorbed and utilized more efficiently than even BCAA(Branch Chained Amino Acids) are as well. PeptoPro is THE SINGLE BEST SOURCE OF LEUCINE that you can take. Leucine is the most important amino acid for increasing protein synthesis in the muscles. [b]Each gram of leucine from PeptoPro is absorbed 3x more efficiently than the leucine found in BCAA’s blends! That’s because amino acid blends are single (free form) amino acids, while PeptoPro amino acids are in peptide form.[/b] Just take a look at the comparison below. Peptides are absorbed 2-3x better than free form amino acids or long chain proteins (whole food) -

(PeptoPro is the ONLY standardized hydrolyzed protein available; other "Whey protein hydrolysates" are highly INFERIOR, only containing 30-40% Di and Tri Peptides. That is less than HALF the amount of what PeptoProŽ provides!)
PeptoPro has been scientifically proven to improve physical performance, increase endurance and stamina, enhance recovery after exercise, and reduce post-exercise muscle damage and soreness. It is the only form of protein that can provide an instant delivery of amino acids to the muscles, even during high-intensity exercise, leading to increased levels of protein synthesis during and after exercise. MyoFUEL is the ONLY product on the market to offer PeptoPro at the scientifically proven dosage of 6,000mg per serving! It doesn't just stop there; that's not the only thing that makes MyoFUEL so effective and so much different from everything else available on the market. MyoFUEL also contains EFFACIOUS DOSAGES of each and every ingredient in this extremely methodical formula. [/size]
[b][size=4]MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE: TMG & Citrulline Malate[/b][/size]
[size=3]More reps, more weight, more sets! MyoFUEL is designed to extend and enhance your workouts, providing your muscles with the FUEL that they need in order to perform optimally. MyoFUEL contains powerful ingredients that work synergistically and independently to increase muscular energy (ATP), endurance, power, strength, blood flow, nutrient uptake, and protein synthesis!
[b]Betaine Anhydrous (Trimethylglycine):[/b][/size]
[size=3]If you’ve never heard of this ingredient, you will soon. Betaine Anhydrous, also known as TMG (Trimethylglycine), is a remarkable compound, not only for athletic performance enhancement and improving body composition, but also for general health and well-being!
TMG has been proven to build muscle, burn fat, and increase muscular power! Multiple studies have linked TMG to enhanced power output in athletes, mostly in terms of anaerobic strength performance. These athletes saw increases in their squat, bench press and bike pedaling power when supplementing with TMG. TMG is also highly synergistic when taken with creatine. By preventing the production of homocysteine, betaine leads to a higher production of creatine in the body as well as a higher absorption and utilization rate of supplemental creatine because more of it can be used without being broken down. This makes MyoFUEL extremely synergistic with products containing creatine, such as most pre-workout products on the market, including our very own “AMPLIFY”. TMG also accelerates the repair of joints and even liver tissue, supporting improved recovery. In animals, TMG decreases VLDLs, increases muscle mass, decreases fat content. In the animal husbandry field, TMG is used to decrease fat and increase meat yield. While human studies have just started, a 200 pound individual with 20% body fat can expect to lose as much as 5 pounds of fat and gain as much as 12 pounds of muscle. TMG is also known to increase bone density. These effects are poorly understood but well documented.
TMG is often referred to as a quasi-vitamin because although humans and other animals can synthesize it from choline, it can't be synthesized in adequate quantities and generally needs to be included in the diet. TMG is a natural methyl donor, and is one of the phytochemicals recently extruded from plants. TMG is not unknown to the medical establishment. Used since 1981 in the treatment of homocystinuria, it has recently been approved by the FDA to make the medical claim that it aids in the treatment of homocystinuria. Being sold since the early 1980's or prior, TMG is actually a well understood supplement that has no reports of negative side-effects when used in the usual dosages. TMG also helps regulate the methylation process, increasing SAM and reducing risk and potential damage from high homocysteine levels in bodily fluids and tissues. Elevated Homocysteine Levels increase risk factors for Cardiovascular disease Heart Attack, Stroke, Neural Tube Defects, Cancer, Liver Disease, Depression, and Peripheral Neuropathy. So as you can see, reducing these levels is very important! TMG has the following additional benefits:
[i]-Anti-depression: By raising level of beneficial SAM (S-Adenosyl-Methionine).
-Cardiac protection: Conversion of homocysteine to Methionine.
-Glutathione Elevation: In several different studies, TMG has been shown to increase hepatic Glutathione, the body's most important antioxidant
-Homocysteine Lowering: Specific for that purpose. The supplement of choice for lowering homocystenuria.
-Liver Disorders: As a part of liver-healing and protection formulas. Increases SAM levels in the liver, enables the liver to metabolize fat and protect against many challenges such as alcohol induced cirrhosis. TMG will also decrease bilirubin, alkaline phosphotase, and several other liver enzymes related to a large variety of liver disorders. Significant liver benefits have been shown in 20 studies.
-Longevity: As a part of a life extension formula. TMG has shown ability to protect interrogate of cellular DNA through methyl donation.
-Methyl Donor Formulations: Along with B12, Folic acid, and Choline.
-Performance: Due to it's bi-polar nature, helps osmotic pressure in cells. For example it is used in salmon farming to protect fish against the problems of changing salt content. In humans, TMG maintains normal cellular electrolyte concentrations despite water and electrolyte losses during exercise. TMG also helps metabolize fats, which allows the body to burn fat rather than protein or muscle during exercise. The result is less cramping, increased endurance, and better utilization of fat stores,
-General Health Preventative: As part of a formula for maintaining good health or disease prevention.[/i]
[b]Citrulline Malate: [/b]
Citrulline Malate has been scientifically proven to enhance athletic performance, increase strength and power, increase endurance while reducing fatigue, and improve muscle recovery. Citrulline Malate is a salt form of the amino acid. The malate, or malic acid, is found in fruits such as apples and enhances the effects of Citrulline. Malic acid takes part in aerobic cellular respiration where oxygen and a carbon compound (acetyl Co-A) are used to produce immediate energy and CO2 in the mitochondria of the cell. This is called the Kreb’s cycle. Malate conditions the recycling of lactate and pyruvate promoting efficient energy production and protecting muscles from fatigue.
Citrulline Malate reduces lactic acid and ammonia and increases ATP production, allowing your muscles to work harder for longer periods of time! Citrulline Malate also provides extremely powerful “pumps”, due to its ability to increase nitric oxide levels. Research has shown that supplementation of Citrulline actually raises Arginine levels more effectively than taking the same dose of straight Arginine! This uniquely bonded amino acid is one of the key components of the MyoFUEL formula, and works synergistically with the other ingredients to boost performance and build muscle!
[b]Electrolytes:[/b]
Did you know that studies have shown that even slight dehydration will cause dramatic decreases in athletic performance? Get this: losing a mere 20% of your water stores can reduce your athletic performance by up to 50%! Therefore, it can be argued that the single most important aspect of maintaining optimum performance is HYDRATION. When we exercise, we sweat, which means we lose large amounts of water and subsequently, dehydrate ourselves during exercise. However, drinking more water is not enough; it is absolutely imperative to also intake extra minerals, electrolytes, and phosphates to ensure that you stay as hydrated as physically possible.
That’s why MyoFUEL contains the perfect amounts of electrolytes in order to maintain maximum hydration and optimum performance. Electrolytes facilitate communication between our brain and rest of our body, as they allow conductivity of the electrical signals. Electrolytes help to regulate muscle contraction, and without sufficient amounts of electrolytes, our muscles can begin to cramp and “fail” because the brain can no longer communicate effectively with the body. MyoFUEL will never allow this to occur! ! You will never run out of gas! MyoFUEL will provide your muscles with the substrate they need to perform optimally, from the beginning of your workout all the way to the very last rep![/size]
Workout Number 2 on the day....
Well I really wanted to get in a good leg workout since I didn't run today and I have to work starting in a few hours and going until monday morning...
So I mixed up the MyoFUEL, this time in about 20 oz of water so I could drink it over a longer period of time. I am being honest when I say that even diluted in 20 oz of water, it was still very sweet and tasty! Still tasted great. Asked the girl I was working out with to take a sip and she thought it was some special kind of gatorade and asked what flavor it was so she could get some lol.
anyways to the workout itself...
Wanted to get in some legs but as I got to the gym, I remembered it was friday night and the gym would be closing early and I didn't have much time.
I decided I'd have to change up my workout a bit, do some supersets and just get in what I could.
:(
warmup with squats n deads using just the bar for a few sets, then working my way up to my working weight (still wanted to warm up even when pressed for time, If I hurt myself I cant work!)
then to the real workout....
[B]1&2[/B]Squats supersetted with deadlifts
[squats @185lb's x 8 reps supersetted with deadlifts 315lb's at 6 reps] did 4 sets
(for the record, I can DL much more than I can squat... I don't know why it's so uneven but I can DL 405+ and I haven't even tried squatting 3 plates)
Anyways....I had planned on doing 5 sets but as I was finishing the 4th superset I heard [B]"Gold's Gym will be closing in 15 minutes"[/B]
[B]NoOoOoOoOoO
I felt so good and was wanted to do so much more[/B], but time was limited.
[B]3. [/B] We did 3 sets of 20 medicine ball situps as fast as we could
[B]4.[/B] 2 sets of weighted lunges and the final warning came....The gym was officially closed and we had to leave
My shirt was soaked with sweat but I felt great and wanted to keep pushing it, but had to give in and head out.
good and bad at the same time.
I hate leaving without feeling like I killed my legs, but then again we were pressed for time and this was my second workout of the day, which I rarely do...
Well that it's for now gonna catch a quick nap and head off to work. I'll be working straight through to monday morning and wont have workout equipment at the base I'm at, so I won't be posting until monday after I get back and get a chance to workout again.
Would be happy to take any comments, questions, suggestions
April 18 2013 NEW SPLIT starteing today (Push/Pull/Legs)
Before I get started, yes, I did end up running 5 miles last night after leg day.....
Honeslty feels like it helps Diminish DOMS by redistributing lactic acid, but I may be just making that up....
[size=8]Push Day[/size]
[size=5]Chest/Shoulders/Triceps[/size]
Well I kinda kick started my new split today. I have had great success with push/pull/legs in the past, so i figured I'll do it again!
Kinda had a 2 part day at the gym today....I'll explain ...
[B]1.[/B]Warmup 10 on treadmill\
rotator cuff warmups
[B]2.[/B] Barbell Overhead Press

[B]3.[/B] Hammer stregth plate loaded Shoulder press
---4x12
Ow ow ow ow ow. Felt that one ion my delts! (In a good way) I know I had a good delt routine when i feel like i have to cross my arms to support my shoulders lol
[B]4.[/B]Hammer strength plate loaded decline chest press
---Just put 2 plates on each side for 4x8
[B]5.[/B]Standing cable flyes
---5x12
Got and awesome squeeze! Flyes really make my chest workout feel complete and gimme that pump I love

What is a chest and tri workout without dips?
[B]7.[/B]Wide grip cable tricep pulldowns
---4x12
Great squeeze!
[B]8 & 9[/B] front delt raises super set with lateral delt raises (I know, technically lateral delt raiss are a pulling excersize...DealWithIt)
---4 sets....15 reps on front delt raises, 10 reps on lateral raises
[B]10.[/B] Tricep Overhead Extensions
---4x6
And thats that!
(or so I thought.......)
Well It was a great workout! I felt pumped up afterwards, and highly motivated throughout. I drank the myofuel all the way up until right before the 9/10 movemetns when I finished it. I definetly feel like I had a little something extra to help me with a few of my sets.
Then on my way home I get a phone calll....Girl wants to know if I'll work out with her in an hour... who am I to say no!?
So I chugged a protein shake, ate a baked potato, roast beeef, and milk, and got ready to head back up haha.
overtraining? idk man, I just hope it's a myth.
Of course, I mixed a half serving of myofuel into my water bottle and got ready for workout pt. 2
Got to gym and told the girl I was hoping to do mainly cardio and maybe abs (I NEVER do "abs", except for when I workout with girls because thats all they wanna do..."
so anyways my second workout (1.5 hours after the first) went like this...
[size=5]workout pt. 2[/size]
[B]1.[/B] 20 minutes on the elliptical, worked up a good sweat
[B]2.[/B] Kettlebell swings 5x25 with 50 lb kb (Man my HR was waaaaay up there after this! kinda scary lol, I would estimate 160-170+)
[B]3.[/B] standing weighted cable crunches 4x15
[B]4.[/B] lying leg raises 4x20 Ouuuuuuch. this one killllls me.
At this point she said "what else can we do, what did you workout today, lets do that
always up for a challenge....
went into
[B]6.[/B]tricep pushdown machine (similar to dip form, but seated)
---4x10 @ 160lb's
I took it easy since I had already done this earlier
[B]7.[/B] Hammer grip, close grip flat DB bench press
4x6
[B]8.[/B] Pushups
4x20
Woooooooooooh! Feels good! Very tired! glad to be going to sleep, but I feel like days like today are what count on my road to aesthetics.
May have been in my head, But I believe the MyoFUEL seemed to help me where it counted busting out a few extra reps at the end of each set.
Well Guys thats it for now, going to sleep!
8 am Pull day with my workout partner. He pushes me hard so it's gonna be a good one!
