David's No Holds Barred AEN intrAbolic/intraXCell smackdown

[dlew308]

Thanks to AEN for choosing me and the other lucky AMers

The goodies:

IntrAbolic
*ATHLETIC EDGE NUTRITION-IntrAbolic FAQ-THE Pioneer of Intra-Workout Supplementation!

IntraXCell
~ATHLETIC EDGE NUTRITION-IntraXCell-FAQ-The Beta-Alanine Carnosine thread!~

My previous experience with a beta-alanine was with purple wraath and that was a very pleasant experience. I'm going to find out if AEN is THE name in beta-alanine products

My current stats:
age 33
ht 6'
wt 183.5 lbs
% unknown < 19%

Current Phase:
cut/recomp

Goal:
lower % to 15 or lower

Current Routine:
3 day split
Monday - chest/triceps
Weds - back/biceps
Friday - legs/shoulders

Cardio is done on a bicycle usually on off days.

I'll keep a workout log and my thoughts on each workout here. My current workout log will be updated only with workout info. My current workouts have been good but lackluster due to all the colds I've had since sept-oct, I'm very confident AEN's products will have me raising the bar over my best days.

1 serving PWO
My goodies came after I returned from the gym, took a serving and got my tingles on

11-1-07

2 servings of intraXcell, 1 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon
I didn't notice the tingling, perhaps my taking them with food is the reason.

I started to ride a bike back in July. I was improving pretty well until I was sick with the cold and flu for most of Sept. I restarted in Oct til being sick once again! Now I'm basically starting over again.

~9pm
Cardio on the bike
Stats from the Garmin 305 Edge
Total time 0:16:58
Distance 3.72
Avg MPH 13.2
Avg HR 145.0

Today I'll be taking intrabolic for the first time, I can't wait to try it out for today's workout.

[dlew308]

I was ~210 a year ago, not in a good way

Alright D! I think we are the smallest guys chosen that I have seen so far, lol everyone else is over 215lbs. Good luck bro!

1 serving intraxcell during 2nd bfast (9:30)
I felt the tingling today after taking the 3 pills.

workout: chest/triceps
db bench press 35sx6x2,60sx10,65sx8,70sx5
db fly incline bench 35sx10,8,8
decline bench press 115x8x2,135x6
two arm db extension 50x10,8,8
overhead rope extension 40x10,50x8.60x6
wide pullup 1s, 10s down x 2
wide pullup 1s, 10s down w/ knees up to 10s hold w/ legs up
close grip chinup 1s, 10s down x 1
chinup 1s, 10s down x 1
rockwall close grip pullups x 2 x 2
dips 2

I mixed 1 scoop of intrabolic in 20oz of water. I shook well and let it settle. I open the air vent and the foam went away. 20oz is way too much water, tasted too diluted. I'm going to try 10oz on monday. The taste would've been good if I hadn't put 20oz in. I sipped before and thru out the workout. I sipped 10oz by the end of the workout. I kept sipping on my work back to work and then downed the remaning 5oz. That's when I felt the tingles in my feet. Does this stuff work? Yes it does. Granted it'll take sometime to adjust and get the B-A working better, but there were times while I worked out that I felt wiped out but was able to keep going. It's not like you keep going and will hurt pull a muscle, a keep going as in an xtra boost or an invincible spotter helping you finish. That's what makes B-A so awesome IMHO It's really hard to describe the feeling unless you experience it yourself. My pumps were normal, I get a decent pump after each set.

[PumpYouUp]

Damn bro! you sure do run and gun a workout! Thats a lot for less than 1 hour!

[dlew308]

I workout during my lunch break. That was actually slow for me, I'm usually faster

GREAT explanation! I feel the same way, I'm able to get 1-2 extra reps...even when I'm EXHAUSTED

I forgot the goods at work over the weekend. I took the first serving of intraxcell with breakfast 2. It tooks some time to kick in, but I was surprised how strong the feeling is, it's not so much the tingles but like a different feeling. Today I tried 12oz of water with intrabolic. I shook it and let it settle for ~5 minutes and let it vent out. There was still foam. I shook it again, let it settle, no more foam. I sipped it on the way to the gym. It tastes way less diluted, still not strong enough for my taste buds. I'm going to try 10oz of water on Weds. The flavor is similiar to a jolly rancher. My hams are my weak spot, they've always been that way. I've been doing more sets and high reps on them to get em warmed up. It feels too ez to pull them, plus I'm not going for size as I think my legs are still too big/fatty. My leg workouts are pretty light since I like to ride the bike, I don't want to be too sore doing my night time cardio rides. The B-A is kicking in, there's a big difference in my workout compared to last week's. I'm happily impressed and it's only the 2nd dose of intrabolic....so far it's looking good

damn! I need way more water for my mix! regardless, log is lookin nice. look forward to seein everyone's results. keep it up!

[PumpYouUp]

WOW! You have some insane taste buds! I need more water, mostly b/c I drink a lot of water during a workout. Its hard for me to just sip, I like to have a few swigs in between sets.

rack pulls 60x10,135x10x2,245x8,265x8,295 x1,295x6,225x8

standing cable xover curls 40x10,50x8x2
incline db curls 20x8,6,5
incline hammer curls 20x5
rock wall misc pullups, close grip, alt sides, hanging

I took intraxcell with my 2nd breakfast. I mixed intrabolic with 10oz of water today. I shake it twice to get the foam to disappear, it does go away. I had some decent gains on the rack pull. I ordered some new gloves and a hook as well. I'm not able to keep my grip too well on the heavy rack pulls, I tried with various grip positions. My gloves are from like high school, so probably older then some members here
All in all, a brutal workout, the B-A is kicking in and kicking butt.
