I've been a loyal powershock user on and off (won't go too long with nitrates) and am trying Gaspari's now. Just found out about Formutech's endurance and ordered it asap. I typically mix my own powders and I may not even have to modify Endurance.. excited to see the effects of COP.
Agree. In terms of value-for-money, Bulk ModernBCAA is in a league of its own.
Looks nice, VaughnTrue.
$22.99 is mad cheap for Compete!
SAA ftw!!! Wish they were a little cheaper though. Are there any other SAAs besides Blox?
FINAFLEX has come out with a BCAA and SAA one which is what I mentioned earlier. BCAA+SAA
The formulators put basically exactly how many SAA as thought to be needed for the best results and no more, this was in an effort to keep costs down. The BCAA's are there in a higher concentration to add more anabolism and protein synthesis. So you get the benefits touted for SAA with the lower cost benefit of the BCAA.
Purple wraarh tastes like sh!t but is a solid overall product if you're looking for EAA
Purple Wraath bro!! EAA (including BCAAs), beta alanine, citrulline malate, L norvaline, 90 full servings, $55 on amazon, grape tastes like crap, go with the lemonade
From personal experience I can say Blox (SAAs) was awesome! I don't give a crap about medical studies, I only go by experience and reviews from other people. I do what works for me and SAAs definitely better! At least for muscle endurance and lack of fatigue.
If you read what the guy above me said, the study about SAAs is flawed. I can say that I agree with him and I know that many medical studies are flawed. You go by what works for you and what other people who have experience with a product say! SAAs will not turn you into superman like the study basically suggests, buy they will make your workouts a hell of a lot betterAGREED!! F*CK MEDICAL STUDIES THAT PROVE STUFF CORRECT!!!!!
That's the spirit....
SAAs are likely making you more energetic because they can be directly metabolized for energy via gluconeogenesis. However, I won't rule out that there may be something at play when taking some amino acids in a specific ratio, though again, it is unlikely.
Well I mean, with all the flawed studies out there you can't really trust them! All you can do basically when looking for supplements is look at the ingredients, read reviews, talk to other people that take or have taken certain supplements, or if you're daring, try new products when they come out and hope for the best! If they work, great, if they don't they don't, stop using them and let people know they don't work!
Well, I mean people seem to like modern BCAA and it is an 8:1:1 ratio as opposed to others that are 2:1:1 or 4:1:1, so it's possible that ratio may have something to do with it. You never know. But you're right it is unlikely considering it is Leucine that has the most effect and obviously modern BCAA would have more leucine than others with that ratio. So it is more the amount of one amino as opposed to the ratio itself . So basically, I think SAAs definitely have some beneficial effect that many other products don't have, but that rratio thing is BS
ROFLMAO
BCAA's like recoverpro that don't mix very well, I mix up in warm water and then let it sit for a bit. It will usually mix in then. Kinda a pain if you're in a hurry though. My favorite is probably Axis Labs N'Gage because it mixes instantly with no problems and tastes great.
LolAGREED!! F*CK MEDICAL STUDIES THAT PROVE STUFF CORRECT!!!!!
No, they actually contain far less than a few hundred participants, which would have been ideal.
Shoot for about 4-5g leucine in a single bolus.
Damn bro you are spending some money on dem der Amino's. HumPro, which I am a huge fan of for cutting is very expensive. However, it provides the equivelent of 24g of protein without the calories. Keeps those muscle fed.
Amino Acid = Protein
I know thats the norm, but this is not a complete protein. It's science over my head so heres the link to check out. I ve used this pre comp and cut down fast.
Mr. Cooper, I read in a bb forum that you like Power Shock. I am wondering what your opinion is on amino acid nitrates. I'm wondering if the nitrate moiety does something other than acting as a donor to the amino acid. If it just acts as a donor, would it increase the bioavailability? Or would something like 'leucine nitrate' just seperate molecules to allow leucine to do it's thing and the nitrate to go do it's thing?
I cannot image how any of these claims can be substantiated outside a clinical/physiological testings environment. This is quite beyond anecdotal or even regular laymen analytical assessment or sponsor logging. Neither of which can tell me what is taking place in my digestive/intestinal bio/physio process. The things he (Author) is claiming can only be validated or quantified in a clinical laboratory environment IMHO. Hence - reference?
Nah, it doesn't increase the bioavailability of the amino acid (which is near 100% anyway). But the nitrate obviously has performance enhancing effects.
Thanks, Coop. It didn't seem like it would do much more than that, just checking with you.
