I just wanted to thank dsade being gracious enough to send me a 22serving tub of strafe with my most recent purchase of the new MyoPeptide protein (both flavors are delicious and I highly recommend them). With all the new stuff that evomuse is coming out with I can see myself buying their products a lot more regularly now, especially the protein.
So What is Strafe?
How I will dose it
this was the hardest part for me to figure out. I did not want to just take this every day because some days I feel like I haven't pushed myself to the limits and won't be sore and don't want to waste a serving. What I will be doing is taking a dose 2-3 times a week, after my more intense workouts
So What is Strafe?
as you can see this is not a typical recovery drink where it's just bcaa's. In fact this has both leucine metabolites. Knowing that MyoSynergy uses 2g of HICA daily in the serving I expect this product is definitely not lacking in the dosage department. One serving is 10g, so let's say 3g bcaa 2:1:1 which leaves us with 5/6g of actives to fit those 4 little ingredients into (also accounting for flavoring)Strafe™ is a pretty straightforward product designed to maximize the muscle protein synthesis and Anti-catabolic properties of Leucine metabolism. We follow along the entire pathway, providing substrate for subsequent reactions that end up creating muscle. Strafe™ is designed to take right before bed, with or without the addition of a slow-acting protein like Casein.
It wasn't until the HMB sale patent expired in 2013 that we were able to find material of the same quality without the huge overcharge (a dumb move, IMO). So...here we go:
Leucine, provided in a 2:1:1 BCAA ration
Keto-Isocaproate - the first Leucine metabolite in the ultimate pathway to activate mTOR.
HICA - a further metabolite that is pretty kickass, even on its own (see the MyoSynergy writeup)
Ca-HMB - No, this doesn't feel like Deca but the initial testing of everything combined is yielding some excellent results in the context of the entire formula.
Betaine (Trimethylglycine) - methyl donor and a newish nutrient to generate a huge emount of excitement from a strength, endurance, and hypertrophy perspective. This will require more study support than I am going to post today - gotta wait for the writeup.
