Guys, Any recommended Intra Work out? Im planning to buy SciVation Xtend pero nag dadalawang isip pa kung kailangan ko to or hindi.

based sa mga nabasa ko sa net. here's the benifits using an intran workout supp.
( based kay xtend to) ,underlined are the benefits that Im looking for this supplement.
Increased Exercise Training Volume (More Volume/More Total Work = Greater Adaptation or More Muscle)*
Increased Muscle Protein Synthesis*
Reduced Muscle Protein Breakdown*
Increased Muscular Endurance*
Increased Energy & Endurance Capacity*
Improved Blood Glucose Disposal & Insulin Response*
Increased Power Output*
Increased ATP Synthesis/Resynthesis*
Increased Nitric Oxide (NO)*
Delayed Onset of Muscle Fatigue/Increased Time to Exhaustion* > Main reason why I want to buy this stuff.
Improved Neuromuscular Responsiveness & Recovery*
Improved Hydration*

Indi nasama dito but it also promotes fat loss din ( daw)

so guys, what's your take about intra work out? effective ba? or just a waste of money?

    may nabasa ako dito na ung BCAA ay luxury supp daw.

    para sakin since yang scivation gamit ko nakaka 2 tub nako, watermelon madness, sarap inumin habang nag te training. at so far, na bigyan naman nila ng justice ung asa labeling nila kahit yung fatloss. before kasi ako lumagok nun, galing ako sa dirty bulking at pansin ko nabawasan talaga yung mg fats ko lalo sa midsection. well, broscientist ako kaya di ko masasabi na 100% tama ako kasi habang natira ako nun eh i lift heavy rin na alam naman naten pag heavy training naten nakaktulong din sa fat loss. eto ung dating o review ko jan sa bcaa na yan :)

    nice, thanks for the honest feedback, bro, based din sa mga nabasa ko, it promotes fat loss din so it might be true. and also subok na kase yung xtend, along side with purple wrath( which is 2nd option ko,medyo di lang naging maganda experience ko sa whiteflood )

    Protein contains BCAA's. Protein has calories. Protein needs to be digested before it becomes as amino acids. BCAA's are basically amino acids in it's purest form, think pre-digested. BCAA's also contains virtually no calories at all that is why it is preferred for cutting out calories from your diet. And yes, it is very expensive.

    Other than that, you are better off using other sources of protein.

    PS
    I did use a lot of Scivation's XTEND during my S2B leaning out last Jan-Apr and it worked like a charm. :)

    @riddler thanks for this sir, very informative, :) so it's safe to say that talagang epektib as fat loss supp to? I'm not cutting tho, ( Im into slow bulk actually). yung habol ko sa kanya eh yung pag gising mo di masakit katawan mo,and at the same time, does it serve as something like a NO pre WO drink?

    Kung fasted training ka, it's a good pre/intra/post workout drink.

    You mean nalelessen yung DOMS by using BCAA's? Technically speaking and based on their claim, it aids your recovery. But my experience says otherwise. If I trained balls out, let's say yesterday, and gumamit ako nito, garantisado, masakit pa rin katawan ko kinabukasan. DOMS will always be there, with or without supplement. :)

    In my opinion, since you still want to gain mass, you are better off with whey protein. Or kung may budget ka talaga and you want a good intra-workout drink for gaining mass, I suggest for you to look at ON's 2:1:1. :)

    tinry ko maghanap sa web, walang nagbebenta ata nito sa pinas sir ridler, wala na bang iba? haha!

    Ah ganun ba? May isa pang maganda na suggested ng coach ko nun sa S2B, pero malamang di rin available diyan. Sa US lang ata siya available.

    Kung wala talaga, meron pa rin homemade solution para diyan. Hehe!

    - 1 scoop whey protein (preferably whey isolate), preferred ko dito is vanilla para neutral ang lasa kahit na anong ihalo mo.
    - 1 serving dextrose powder (around 30-70g carbs) or gatorade powder
    - 500ml water

    Kung gusto mo ng extra kick ng caffeine, you can even add a teaspoon of coffee. :)

    Puwede rin yan! Maselan nga lang sa ihahalo mong flavor especially if you will go with the gatorade route. Depende na yan sa panlasa mo. Hehe! :)

    Check your macros nga pala. Make sure na fit pa rin yang extra calories. :)

    naisip ko nga bigla since gatorade powder normally comes with orange flavor ( anong lasa kaya nun),I may opt to use dextrose powder, still looking kung san makakabili,

    edit :
    may nakita na ko, hehe! puede kaya to sir @riddler

    kumain ka lang or uminom ng something with protein and carbs preWO solb na. Ang mahalag dyan is meron dinadigest yung katawan mo na sustansya habang nagbubuhat. pag may laman tyan mo before WO for sure safe ka na loob ng 1-2hours na training duration e may supply ka ng amino acids sa katawan.

    I've tried supplementing BCAA's intraWO (Xtend or Purple Wraath) before for several years but na-observe ko na minimal to no difference sa performance ko sa gym versus plain water. HIndi naman sa sayang yung BCAA or namamahalan ako, it's just that I feel that I'm getting too much of the good stuff in such a short period. Imagine 50g of protein each pre and post WO plus 10-15g of BCAAs pa in a span of 3 hours.

    kung gusto mo naman ng additional aminos sa diet mo either bulk or cut mas ok na magprotein ka na lang kasi mas madami ka pa makukuha (complete amino acid profile BCAA+EAA versus BCAA alone) :)

    tama ang sinabi nila sir V at sir Riddler. ako, umiinom lang ako nun habang nag te training ako kasi ala ako preWO drink. ang habol ko lang talaga eh para habang gumugulong ako sa pagod sa gym eh may BCAA na umaalalay sa maskels ko then after training whey w/bcaa agad then lamon na hihihi

    it's fine using BCAA lalot may sponsor hihihi pero pwede rin wala basta kumain tayo atleast 1 hour bago mag training.

    teka, inuulit ko lang sinasabi nila sir V ah? hahaha
  • First time ko mag try ng IntraWO supplement. hindi ako masyado pagod after ng training ko hindi tulad ng dati na talagang wasted na ako after ng 1hr na workout. regarding naman sa DOMS, meron pa rin talaga pero mabilis maka recover muscles ko. dati kasi umaabot ng 3 days yung DOMS ko, ngayon 1 day nalang. hindi ko alam kung ganon din ang effect sa iba. may prewo supplement (whey), intrawo(amino recovery) at postwo(whey) pala ako.
