I've used several intra-workouts and currently am using BSN Amino x. I think it's ok, but feel there has to be something significantly better out there.

Anyone have any suggestions? I want to know why you suggest something, not just a name.

Anyone suggest cycling intra-workouts like preworkout?

Xtend bcaas, they make my pump last longer, the only downside is that they suppress my appetite probably due to all of the artificial sweeteners in it

Gaspari SizeOn. Like that it contains carbs which for me help with pump during my workout. Also has electrolytes and a bunch of other goodies

I'd have to go with xtend on this one. For one it tastes awesome and it's something that keeps me going and hydrated during my workout.

Honestly the best I have tried during my time using an intra is Scivation Endure or Olympus Labs Endur3+. Super clean, great pumps and buffer to muscle fatigue

Omega Sports Strive (how nobody brought this up is beyond me)

Can't beat that for $10 a bottle either right?

Love all the feedback and Xtend support in here. It gets a lot of high praise and for a reason. Great tasting, good formula, and people enjoy the added Peak02 for their performance in Xtend Perform

I would go with SizeOn if you are into intra carbs. Nothing beats the carbs for getting through a tough workout and pumps are awesome. Compete is also pretty amazing. Sometimes I also sip on Finish line towards the tail end and is it post for recovery. Nothing has come close to Finish Line for recovery for me and I have been using it for a solid 8 months now.

Haven't used an intra since I found out Pepto-Pro might not be as beneficial as once thought.

If I went back, it would probably just be Gatorade powder. Maybe, just maybe some cheap EAA.

Endure by Scivation was a discontinued 7g BCAA/25g carbs formula that was discontinued to the best of my knowledge. And I became a rep a while ago, shoot me a dm

Cool story bob. Its called Xtend not Endure
We Have Xtend,


Xtend Perform,



Xtend Endure,



and we have a DC Xtend Endurance.



Our regular Xtend has no added carbs like Endure does. So just calling it "Xtend" would be incorrect.

I think what he's trying to say is that the "Endure" is, for lack of a better term, a subname, under the general product name of Xtend. I think he's saying it's similar to Cellucor's C4 variants; I don't think you'd call C4 Zero "Cellucor Zero". I could be misinterpreting what he was trying to say, but that's how I read it. Either way, it's semantics really, haha.

it is. hence why we have a variety of Xtend variations. Being a top selling product we tried to base a few different options for different consumers.
Want the regular version --> Xtend
Want added Carbs --> Xtend Endure
Want added performance/endurance --> Xtend Perform

I did enjoy intra MD way before the spiking scandal...

Can't say I'm really into intra workouts.

Having said that fitcon I did take a few samples of aminos and been using them over the week.

Little disappointed actually as there was two Separate stalls with scivation products and neither of them had samples..


I did enjoy hydroBCAA from prosupps and modern amino

i honestly do not know, I'm hope this summer! I will make sure there is a huge promo, when it is ready to rollout!

Pink Lemonade SP250 is one of my fav PWOs as well. thank you for the support.

Anyone have any good places to buy sizeon? I'd like to try it, but it seems damn expensive for 24 servings.
i don't know of any deals out there sadly, a site did have 2 tubs for $56, a month or so ago, even I as a rep for Gaspari purchased 4 tubs.

if i see any sales, I'll PM you.

Size On and Finish Line. Size On for the carbs and everything else. Finish Line because it tastes good and is a great all in one. You can drink it whenever, but with 3.2g beta alanine, I usually want to be doing something because of the tingles.
