They actually have a few flavors - lemonaide, wild white cherry, white passion peach, and fruit punch. They had a grape but it's being discontinued (you can still find it online). The peach is the newest flavor...i like it and it mixes clearNever heard of the company before.. How is the taste and price of their BCAAs?
Exactly what i was thinking! :bling: Bulk BCAAs and bulk leucine from NP looks to be a bargain for a custom mix you can do yourself, only problem would be the flavoring. Now sure how strong of a flavor if any the aminos had and what could be added to cover up the flavor. I guess crystal light could be used but I'm not a fan of sugar or fake sweetner so then I was think vitaberry! To me sounds like an awesome idea but I haven't really tried to calculate the cost per serving so I can compare to other products and I don't know how much vitaberry would be needed to cover the aminos taste but a novel idea I think none the lessYou can get a kilo of BCAA for $20. Now that's cheap.
I didn't take it the wrong way and I don't think anyone did but I am taking the fact you got aminos for free the wrong way! :rant2:I mostly used tha AX brand which was also 4:1:1 but I was getting it free. I switch to Recoverpro when I had to start paying for it, lol. I've tasted worse and forced it down, ASGT for example.
I didn't realize recoverpro was off the shelf, why?
Don't take this the wrong way, I not trying to make a sale or anything. I was just wondering if JJ had tried the 4 to 1 version and if so, did he think it was worth it. It's all I've used, never tried the 2 to 1 version.
lol. I was an AX rep for a short stint. I drank BCAA's all day long. It was great.Exactly what i was thinking! :bling: Bulk BCAAs and bulk leucine from NP looks to be a bargain for a custom mix you can do yourself, only problem would be the flavoring.

I didn't take it the wrong way and I don't think anyone did but I am taking the fact you got aminos for free the wrong way! :rant2:I have always used xtend and only once deviated and used a tub of recoup (nutra had a sale) and once done went back to xtend. I read info on the benefits of leucine and thought about adding but never did nor tried any product with a higher amount of it. I do plan to try a 4:1 for a couple of months and see if it's worth it but if I find a 4:1 ratio BCAA that the price is comparable to xtend and taste good then I will more than likely switch bit I would imagine more leucine per serving would mean more $ per serving so I would have to try it and see of it's worth it
Thanks for the link and WOW that looks like one helluva price. I wonder what's the amino amount per serving and if any Glutamine and citurlline malate is added into that
welcome brutha!!!subbbd dawg
Haha good one taman.. Yea I love his avi but blue is a greedy SOB and won't share a larger version of the pic with everyone else oke:[/B]

No worries bro.. Promo away!I don't want to make it look like I am running a promo, but to answer Josh's question:
Ajinomoto is a food science corporation. They have an insane amount of products ranging from table salt to, well BCAA. The reason Ajipure (Ajinomoto's product) is utilized is because of quality guarantee and it is instantized, so its not as hydrophobic as your average BCAA product.
Good to know all my options.. Thanks for the info bud :bigok:They actually have a few flavors - lemonaide, wild white cherry, white passion peach, and fruit punch. They had a grape but it's being discontinued (you can still find it online). The peach is the newest flavor...i like it and it mixes clear
I've been able to find this online at retailers ranging between 44-48 without shipping.

agreed!!!Subbed big fella. Catching up on log as we speak. Bcaa's and Eaa's really helped me when I was cutting, and they still do. I think they should be in everyone's arsenal.
I drink them while im out cutting the grass and doing yard work, to be honestSubbed big fella. Catching up on log as we speak. Bcaa's and Eaa's really helped me when I was cutting, and they still do. I think they should be in everyone's arsenal.

I have always wondered if taking in a constent steady flow of aminos all day long would keep your body anabolic.I drink them while im out cutting the grass and doing yard work, to be honest
Alot of guys utilize aminos throughout the day, particularly when in a calorie deficit.I have always wondered if taking in a constent steady flow of aminos all day long would keep your body anabolic.
At work I have a gallon jug I keep in the fridge and everyday I fill it with water and drink that thoughout my shift. What if I were to dump a bunch of aminos in there and drank that thoughout my shift. Think there would be any benifit to it?
I did try this once with some EAAs I had but I didnt do it long enough and the EAAs were freaking nasty tasting so I gave it up. I didnt want to use my xtend since it would have been $$$$
:think: Interested to hear thoughts on this idea
No worries bro.. I like to keep my logs interesting. When I update it is usually just about whatever I am logging but the rest of the log I keep open for discussion. I have a fascination for learning so I ask questions or say ideas and bounce feedback and ideas off you guys.. its all good bro hell I had one log where about 3 pages were all about the current state our food industry is in...lol.. this is nothingLooks like I've diverted the focus of this thread, my appologies to JJ and Purus Labs.
Welcome sir :wavey:Late to the party, but in.

I think Layne Norton or someone like that covered that idea, and said that Muscle Protein Synthesis happens with spikes, so a constant flow of aminos wouldn't help that. BCAA are best used ~5-10g, ~1hr before meals I think was his conclusion. For preventing catabolism, I'm not sure.I have always wondered if taking in a constent steady flow of aminos all day long would keep your body anabolic.

haha, yea seen this, its actually a fake. nice thoughYou guys see the new nike ad?
Kinda surprised Nike put out an add like this but its awesome none the less. More girls in our society need to take this attitude rather than the americans next top model look IMO
:heart:You guys see the new nike ad?

I have been shooting 5 grams Bcaa in-between a few meals
Thanks for the input. So it looks like drinking a amino shake a couple times a day may not be a bad idea but constantly sipping on aminos all day long will be worthlessI think Layne Norton or someone like that covered that idea, and said that Muscle Protein Synthesis happens with spikes, so a constant flow of aminos wouldn't help that. BCAA are best used ~5-10g, ~1hr before meals I think was his conclusion. For preventing catabolism, I'm not sure.
This is what I've been doing before breakfast and after Post workout meal and 2 other random meals. Only time I sip on BCAA-EAAs is during workouts. I take in aprox. 40 grams a day. Might be a over kill tho lolI think Layne Norton or someone like that covered that idea, and said that Muscle Protein Synthesis happens with spikes, so a constant flow of aminos wouldn't help that.

You tried fasting bud? Which idea are you speaking of? I have played around with so many already. I keep adjusting what I do and really havent stayed committed to one approach to see how it goes. My latest is posted in this log in the previous page I believe. It is a mix of BCAAs and EAAs with some taurine and fish oil.I've used bcaa's and eaa's as well between meals/ in place of them and had good success when doing it. Also tried your fasted idea with just them and really liked it.
My buddy got some samples of fat Smack and said the energy was clean from it, said he really enjoyed the samples. We were on nights at the time, so he picked up a bottle and ran it. I'll check back with him and see what his final verdict is on it.
:heart:
:hump:Hell, regarding that butt, I'd just do it.
Wow its fake?haha, yea seen this, its actually a fake. nice though
I actually felt really good the whole time I was doing that. The little things, like dead lifting the mower out of the ditch because the wife got it stuck again, didn't leave me sore for a couple of days like before. I think it plays a good roll, it's just not finacially feasible.I have always wondered if taking in a constent steady flow of aminos all day long would keep your body anabolic.

Thats all i do now, I bring a gallon jug into work and mix in BC+Eaa's into it and drink it through out the day (approx 30-35grms) to include the gym time.. like HTS said, when in a calorie deficit, it really helps in preventing muscle breakdown/loss.. its a preventive role..Alot of guys utilize aminos throughout the day, particularly when in a calorie deficit.
I tired it but only for a brief period. I didnt think it helped much so I cut it short but I may have stopped too soon before giving it a honest chance. I just recently found some bulk BCAAs for cheap and when they come in I will try this again, hopefully the taste wont be bad :think: but since its bulk it probably will beI actually felt really good the whole time I was doing that.

All I know is I would definitely "just do it" :naughty: :hump:not the butt the ad :think:
pair woodchuck?If you like pairs, try the pair woodchuck. Log is lookin' solid bud!! I've added wood choppers back into my mix as well, in addition to also doing them in reverse with a low pulley. Definitely some innovative movements in your workouts, I like it!!
I mainly use my bc+eaa when Im fasting (7 scoop shakes 3x a day) or I take 2-3 scoops right before bed with some Na-ALA/yellowgold mix.Thats all i do now, I bring a gallon jug into work and mix in BC+Eaa's into it and drink it through out the day (approx 30-35grms) to include the gym time.. like HTS said, when in a calorie deficit, it really helps in preventing muscle breakdown/loss.. its a preventive role..
I swear by LG's Kiwi/Strawberry... the grape did take a turn, but the Kiwi is re-flavored and i swear by it..profile, taste, and cost cant be beat IMO
Got any more recipes with avocado?PALEO MEALS FTW
butter
1 pound 90% Ground Bison
5 Eggs
1 Avocado
add eggs last
hahaha i got no recipes bro, i just throw food into a pan and mix it all up. i like cutting the avocado up and mixing it with my eggs in the morning.Got any more recipes with avocado?
I want to start eating them more (which is none right now) but dont know how to cook them. All I think of is guacamole
The cider wasnt bad at all. I am not a big beer drinker anyway, when I do occasionally drink it is usually mixed drinks but I havent had a drink in forever! Isnt really too helpful with my goals, but I do plan on going out and sort of celebrating once I do hit my goals. Kind of like a reward for me :cheers:Can't help you with the chains but I lol'd at the hard cider. They can be a bit sweet but are good every once in awhile. I actually have a bottle that's been in te fridge for some time. I'm a big craft beer guy which isn't good to my stomach.
I might do a dynamic squat day with them. I was wondering if I should make an actual box to squat on or if I could just use the end of my bench. Figured I would go on the eliteFTS site and see how high their boxes are and maybe throw something together :dunno:Yup, the make a pair version of woodchuck, no joke. If I get time, I'll take a snapshot of one. Neat idea with the chains, a buddy of mine uses them like stretchy bands, and lets them dangle from a barbell. Pretty much the same principle, to increase the workload at the end of the movement.
Wrap them in big lettuce leaves and top with some salsa or franks red hot :food:Looks like the makings of a great breakfast burrito! I used to use these for my EAA consumption. They tasted very good too.

I have NEVER eaten avocado before but want to start. I was thinking of chopping one up and throwing it into a food processor with a couple spoonfuls of salsa and then blending together. Use it as a topping for eggs, burgers or chicken? Not too sure though?hahaha i got no recipes bro, i just throw food into a pan and mix it all up. i like cutting the avocado up and mixing it with my eggs in the morning.
So, I'm assuming the caffeine in the Fat Smack isn't all that bad? I'm pretty sensitive to stims myself...for instance....OXYEPRO @ 1 cap gives me the jitters pretty bad, more than 1 and I feel like I'm going to vomit.3/11
*snip*
Notes
Started adding mesomorph to my preworkout. My goal was to take solely the Fat Smack by itself for the first week to guage the stim of it. I took half a scoop of mesomorph before my workout today
easiest way to get the avocado out: cut it right through the middle and split the 2 halves so you can dig the seed out. then use a spoon to dig out the avocado from the halves. mixes very good with eggs IMOWrap them in big lettuce leaves and top with some salsa or franks red hot :food:
Mmmm.. I just woke up and am thinking now of making the same thing
