Ok, I'm doing BP Periodic. My intra-workout drink consists of:
20-30g whey
2-4 scoops Xtend BCAA
5g Creatine
2-3 tsp Benefiber
1 scoop waxi carbs
I start it 10-15 minutes prior and sip throughout. I generally add some more water at the gym so I can hydrate more and I finish directly after my workout session. Two questions:
1) I got some free samples of Superpump 250. Are they beneficial to me? Any other pre-workout "enhancers" like NO supps that are beneficial to me?
A. Burn It UP + some additional caffeine is a great ZONING agent. See if samples are available. Believe AskMass was looking into these..
Otherwise, something like caffeine plus L-Tyrosine is beneficial.
2) IF I'm eating within an hour of coming back from the gym, should I alter my carbs in the drink? Ie., less since I'm eating?
A. No, given carbs during the workout are far more import than carbs afterwards. Granted, the PWO window is still open, but it's rapidly closing as the more carbs taken in during this window, the better (provided you're not exceeding your total K limit for the day)
Thanks
Intra-workout
I have to say Burn it Up rocks! I took it the other day for the first time prior to my work out. It was the cleanest "high" i've gotten from any preworkout. It felt like it was a steady alertness and the great thing was there was no crash at the end. It's like it just wakes up the senses with out the hyperactivity of other formulas out there.
The big 3 if I remember correctly are PEAKAtp, MACA and Phosphatidylserine. There's also legit Korean Red plus something like 16 other things that "put back" vs take away.
I say this b/c traditional stims do just that - take away. Yeah they feel great but boy, they'll fry your adrenal so you need to stay on top of it. Then there's the crash..
Now one strategy is to stay on forever But honestly, let's talk about real world solutions. This stuff "zones" you like no other. Want to tweak it a bit to turn it up a notch? Easily done with added caffeine, etc.
Very versatile, fits cruise like a glove. I need to re-order dammit as I'm out. Out of almost everything!
