Choosing an intra-workout

[snowwolf]

I need a new intra-workout product. Im moving back into some high volume and intensity and while i always think its important to down some aminos during your lift when i ramp up the intensity i believe it to be even more so important. Ill be adding in more cardio and then moving into some carb cycling and then a slight cut. So id like to line out and find a great intra workout for now to use but definantly before i transition into a slight cut with some cardio.

So what intra workout would you reccomend and why?

Recovery and anti catabolism is the highest concern. I use pre workout nearly every lift day, anwhere from 1/4 scoop to a full scoop of either 1st Phorm brand megawatt v2 or this new stuff i like quite a bit called carbon (i think).

 

[InItForGainz]

Gaspari's Size On.
1)It provides 5g of hydrolysed Leucine, which is perfect to halt any catabolism.
2)Contains a creatine blend, to help maintain your power.
3)Contains all three of the BCAA's.
4)Helps to build a pretty good pump.

 

[The Solution]

Xtend Perform --> Added Peak02 made just for recovery, performance, and endurance
AEN Intrabolic which has a very good profile
OL Endur3
Iforce Finish Line

Or look into a basic BCAA product + Erognine from PES which is an all in one product IMO
PES Ergonine + BCAA Product of choice (Amino IV / Scivation Xtend)

I love PES products, top notch quality. Im intrigued about that product you mentioned. I looked it up and like what i see. Stacked with their aminos id bet it would be as complete an intra workout as it gets. What do you think?

Ive used Xtend before a few years ago and thought it to be ok. But that was highschool and i know i didnt have everything dialed in back then so it may be worth a try again now that ive got training amd diet really dialed in.

Tried that last year and thought it to be so-so. I questioned its quality and potency to be honest with you

Xtend Perform is a step up from Xtend, added PEAK02 which has been studied on endurance athletes for recovery , performance and endurance.
You will greatly enjoy it. there is over 20+ logs on here with nothing but positive feedback on sporting events, endurnace based activities or even weight lifting.

Yes, ergonine + amino IV is perfect. Amino IV itself is perfect intraworkout as it includes a full dose of leucine (5 grams), EAAs, etc.

Ah this looks very nice. So far its between this and the PES stack i believe.

 

[snowwolf]

What stands out with the PES is the 5g of leucine alone per serving. I like that a lot. And i know for sure from experiance PES quality is outstanding.

But, ENDUR3 also has that content and is an all in one product and would come out a bit cheaper.

Xtend perform

Plenty of feedback to show you why it is a top choice in the intra-workout / BCAA Category off these boards alone.

Endur3 provides the exact ratio of all EAA's to actually stimulate MPS. No, other product on the market can say this.... Its actually a no brainer given price and all the additional ingredients contained in the formula.

I'll 2nd this! PES Ergonine and some amino iv would be a great combo!
