Well all I am slowly cutting right now..only to begin contest prep in about a month, maybe even less.
I am super anxious to see how this stuff will help maintain lean mass, provide energy and endurance. Mytraining will be intense, and will also provide a cardio aspect. I am really hoping I see some added benefits in the cardio department also when using these two supplements.

10/31 First workout: bi's/tri's

Initial thoughts and notes

Well today was the big day!! I took servings as suggested, three caps of IntraXcell and one scoop of IntrAbolic. I put my IntrAbolic into a small jug of about 10 oz of water and shook well. I then let it sit in the fridge for several minutes to let the foam settle. I then took a sip. Whoooa!! I definitely need to put this stuff in a little more water than recommended. It was just too strong for me in that amount of water. After experimenting with the amount of water to add to it, I found a good amount to make the drink light in flavor and rather refreshing. The powder did seem to mix well either way. On the way to the gym.. I was already noticing a little pump in my bi's which was a good sign.


The gym

This week just happened to be a heavy week so I got the chance to see what this stuff was really made of. I can tell you already after only one workout, a couple things that I have noticed.

Strength

Strength was definitely up on several different lifts. I did a couple exercises todaythat I have not done in awhile, so I am not sure how much that contributed to the added strength. Give me a couple more workouts before I verify this.


Pump

Dare I say it?? Okay I will! I think my triceps were as pumped as I have ever had them today. I hit them with some higher reps, but with normal tempo.. they felt absolutely unreal!!

Endurance

Totally noticable!! Probabley more so than any of the above! Went through my workout with absolutely ease. I then continued on with cardio which seemed like a joke today. Very impressed!!

Todays wrap up

I know this was a rather brief 1st day review, but as the days continue my logging will get more detailed. So far.. well I am super impressed, both AEN products do exactly what they claim. So excited for tomorrow!!! I will be doing chest, so stay tuned folks!!!

Good stuff man. One days you take IntrAbolic, only ONE serving of IntraXCell is needed and we sugest it to be taken postWO if possible. Taking IntraXCell preWO and than IntrAbolic, will be too much beta-alanine at one time!


Anabolic Performance Stack-Stimulant Free:

IntrAbolic with IntraXCell - The perfect stack for individuals who DO NOT want any stimulants such as caffeine and/or workout late at night. This stack will enhance IntrAbolic by rapidly increasing carnosine concentrations, which leads to even bigger increases in strength and endurance. This stack will also increase the length of time your IntraXCell supply will last, further increasing YOUR value.
Training Days: Take IntrAbolic as directed and only ONE serving of IntraXCell post workout. Non-Training Days: Only take IntraXCell as directed by the IntraXCell recommended use for non-training days. IntrAbolic is NOT taken on non-training days. These two products were designed to work together perfectly.




Great start so far

[redhawk76]

Nice feedback onelife. I've actually found the magic amount of water to be 32 oz for me. 10 oz is quite a bit less than we recommend.

Also, the ease of cardio following my training is what is most noticeable since I've been using IAB.

[onelife]

lol oh oops!!! guess I should be reading more carefully... today the intraXcell will be taken post!!!

yea i hear ya on that!! cardio was a joke... if it continues like that I will be buying more to use through contest prep...always welcome any energy boost for cardio during pre contest!!!

I bet! What's your cardio routine in contest prep?

[onelife]

it varies the whole way through... but starts out at 40 min post workout

after several weeks goes into 30 min empty stomach w/ 10 to 20 postworkout

those numbers just climb the whole way through....

all of it is rather low intesity unless i start hitting some bumps in the road and then the intensity unfortunately has to be increased

I have tried all different ways of doingit and i am just one of those unfortunate dudes that needs many weeks of prep and long cardio hours.. sucks.. but its what works for me

11/1 2nd workout Chest


Thoughts and notes


I was super excited to use this stuff again today. Mixed it up in quite a bit more water.. ill measure it next time.. and found it very tasty today. I have to admit, when I first tasted IntrAbolic I was not to impressed with the taste. After only two days the stuff is definitely growing on me!! Again mixabilty is incredible. Puts my homemade bcaa mix to shame as far as that goes!


Strength

Nothing to crazy to note here. But definitely still had some increases in my weight used. Which is very nice considering I am pretty much on maintance calories right now.


Pump

Pump was off the charts again today!!! Very very vascular, although I am a very vascular person anyways. Chest was completely filled after completing only one exercise! Another thing that I noticed today is that these products give you very full muscle bellies but do not bloat you. No bloat at all, which is nice because, with a strict diet, I can look very full yet lean at the same time.

Endurance

Again most noticable during my cardio session. Made my cardio time fly by and feel like I was literally standing still. Cannot wait to try this stuff in a 45 min - 60 min low intensity cardio session... it'll be just plain sick!!!

Today's wrap up

Another great day on AEN's stack! Great pumps, really good endurance and best of all I am looking very tight in the mirror. Check back for tomorrow's workout!! I'll be hittin shoulders to wrap up the week!!!!

[DaveGabe24]

Awesome detail! Great to see yet another tester really enjoying IAB Keep it up 1Life.

11/2 3rd workout Shoulders


Thoughts and notes

After yesterdays chest workout the shoulders were definitely a little sore.. but not as sore as I thought they would be. Because of this I decided to go off the norm and do a little bit of higher rep blood volume type day. It ended up being a very nice change, using weights that I didn't really expect to use.. with some incredible pumps!!


Strength

Strength was very good!! As noted I didn't go as heavy as normal but I used a lot more weight than what I was thinking I was going to use, especially on my press movement! Which was really satisfying since I never seem to move up in that area!!


Pump

Pump was crazy!! I would think because of the higher volume. It stuck with me throughout the workout and long after, very nice!!


Endurance

Very noticable again! Especially noticable with a high volume workout! Again cardio went great, seems to just fly by. Endurance so far is the most noticable thing that I have seen from these two products... never having used something that is really supposed to aid in endurance , it is definitely a really nice effect!!



Today's wrap up

The workout went very well! These two products so far are definitely doing what they promise! I would like to see a larger serving size in the IntrAbolic, other than that.. nothing to complain about at all so far! I have cardio over the weekend, If I notice any effects ill be sure to mention them!! Other than that, time to get ready for monday!! Back!!

Awesome feedback! We have heard many people saying the same thing about wanting a larger size of IntrAbolic. If IntrAbolic gets popular enough we would very much aim to come out with more flavors and a larger size. So far, it's really taking off, so if it can continue at the current rate, a larger size is very likely.

I love the fact that IA & IXL dont bloat me AT ALL....in fact, many IXL users have reported losing fat (as did I) when they first start supplementing with BA. We aren't really sure why this occurs, but it certainly does.

My cardio sessions are ~40min (low-intensity).....you may even enjoy those long sessions once your CARN levels rise
