Universal Intra-Aid.....

Companies really don't want honest opinions do they? If you do then send me some stuff, you'll get a log and real feedback... or just keep giving dudes liek this a free ride.

it seems to be the "sweet spot" for me in a couple ways.The carb blend isn't all waxy maize so I wanted to shoot for 15-20 grams intra.This is what I have done when I would mix waxy maize with eaa stack in the past,and is the best.The fullness and recovery is best.It comes out to what? 5 grams waxy maize a scoop?

same thing with Torrent after about 2 weeks I went to 3 1/2 scoops right after training.So whenever I am use torrent,from then on I would use 3 1/2 scoops.My body responds very well to waxy maize.I saw a signifigant increase in muscle fullness and recovery even with just a half scoop( and recovery and fullness is already pretty good with std3 scoops torrent!)

also the flavor is a bit more strong with 2 scoops in 24 oz of water then 40 or whatever.Good stuff!

Thank you. I was wondering why 2 scoops and this summed it up for me.
 
I love non training days for many reasons.
One reasons I love them is in the am,I have my non training day serving of intra aid.

I drink it 1st thing in the am,it isn't an energy rush or anything but gives me a little pep before heading in the shower.Get a lil waxy maize and eeas in me until after shower then eat real quick before heading out.

no training today as I stated,will be in gym tomorrow at some point! probably MUCH later on.

Universal really has a knack for coming out w products for real lifters.I (like others) were taking eaa stack with bulk waxy maize.Infact what I was doing for a little while is eaa stack(watermelon)+beta ala9+bulk waxy maize.

since im bulking the extra waxy maize on non training days also helps get the carbs up a bit on certain days.
Very versatile product Intra-Aid is!
 
for those of you that have experience with waxy maize type products,you will be happy to know that his mixes VERY well.Infact if you didn't tell me it was in here and I mixed it,I would never guess.After a few weeks it is apparent that it is in there though.

Like I said I have used "intra workout" type supplements before without any carbs.THe results were pretty good with some of the products,for me the ch20 is a perfect fit.I even had decent results with gatorade powder+eaa stack (watermelon)
with the addition of a nice amount of waxy maize the results are much better.
Muscles feel a bit more full,there is a bit more smooth energy and I just feel a bit better overall.

I also wanted to note that during the beta testing of this product some didn't care for the flavor just a little.It still is light but not in a bad way at all.Since im a fan of the two scoops some of you should try mixing a little more then a scoop with a little less then suggested amount of water.It will come out a bit more sweet then! :thumbsup:

I have been taking beta-alanine for a while now,so the effects have been great,since this has the beta alanine in it.

Endurance is way up now,infact I forgot to mention last training session went over by about 5 minutes.Which I suppose is good and bad at same time.

I guess thats why people like Box/Drz get picked so often is because the company will get a BS favorable review.

I've got a log going on that incorporates intra-aid (signature), I think its actually a really solid product. It hasnt gotten me to pump out 405 on the t-bar yet, but as soon as Drk gets back too me and shares his secret i'll be on it.
 
few of you realized you were wrong about me so now instead of you admitting you were wrong,are deadset on making me look bad,guess what? you are the only ones that look bad.
fact: I never contradicted myself wiseguy,I was being very specific with what I have used intra workout,not just specific INtra type supplements.
so that means Intrabolic,Nutrex's mass xplosion , my own mix and intra aid.GEt a clue,don't take things out of context.
I have had convos with other guys at universal way before this log about what I have used intra workout.Nice try though guys.

FACT#2 I have already went OUT OF MY way to show proof that I have beentaking this product anddidnt sell it on ebay.

FACT#3 anyone SERIOUSLY doubts anything can come to my next show and say Hi personally pm me bc I am not taking up any more time w this in this thread or any other which brings me to my last point.....

FACT#4 the few that are still in denial were previously and RESPECTFULLY asked to keep any hazing or nasty remarks out of this thread as a favor to universal.Name calling,stupid jokes,hazing etc all have still taking place.This has been a direct display of disrespect to universal,so please don't say you feel bad.I have responded to 99% of everyone who has pm'd me and didn't back down from any question as long as that person was respectful about it.again,EVERYONE was asked to keep this out of this thread and I get slack for not answering questions,well I have answered every question pm.Log would have been fine if a couple didn't make a mistake and still can't come to conclusion they were wrong.Not very respectful for a company you feel bad for.so Check mate? I don't think so.A couple of you really showed true character,and of course you wouldn't look at this log,look at it.The few of you still won't apologize now even when you know you are wrong.Still I hold n o grudges,I TRULY feel sorry for universal.FUnny how this is first log I ever recieved ONE complaint.Have a good weekend guys and take care.
 
did the crystal light thing over the weekend again,it's nice to change it up every few days or so.Even if it is only for a day here and there it mixes it up w the different recipes so it doesn't get too tiring.

You know for the longest time now I had a hard time comparing the smell to anything.I finally thought of something after this weekend,the berry blue Jello-!
the taste is pretty m uch the same of course,I like what they did here it is much more neutral then say grape shock therapy or something else that may have some more bite or tartness to it.

anyway some gains are starting to show! Whey hydro is an effective muscle builder.Many people I talk to say o it's just protein.Take 3 different types of protein and only them for 3 seperate months,you will see really nice gains from the whey hyrdo.

Im up almost 4 lbs and look much,much fuller in the traps and a bit more in the shoulders.
Recovery was pretty good first few servings but it has really taken off now.I should say Im really noticing it a lot now.Keep in mind I am taking 2 scoops on some days.I think I will get another tub and just go with one and follow the session with torrrent,well see.Debating between that or a tub of Shock Therapy.

Those last few reps are starting to come MUCH easier as well,where I usually struggle I find myself just getting the rest of them out.

so far it has been everything I have expected,which is a good thing!

some days I don't feel the ba tingles and some days I feel them more then others.IMo it has to do with food intake and not so much doses.I usually have a meal in me 2 hrs before training,USUALLY.If I don't that is where the whey hydro and carbs come in real handy! if I didn't have the intra aid or even something with no carbs then I just don't get that full feeling towards the end of the session and I feel more drained.
The taurine,eaas,ba and everything else really are a nice pick me up,for me at least.Which is perfect bc I don't need anythi too strong for the time being that I train so late.

another big plus for me is the decision to not throw creatine in it.Im starting to think now It was more the creatine intra I didn't like about one product then the carbs.It is only 10 more carbs I was taking in w that one product but had creatine.Many digest it better pre or post plus many already take a product taking some creatine,good call Universal.

well those are my thoughts for today!
 
Joebo - Let me know how they compare. I was wanting to try Intrabolic but keep putting it off. I love Animal/Universal though. So gotta let me know.

How's the taste? I don't mind the flavor being shotty if I just have to down it at once, but for a intra/peri workout product that I sip on, I need to enjoy it.

I have the blue raspberry, It tastes pretty good, but It's not a very strong taste. Luckily it's not masking any nasty ingredients so it doesn't taste bad, but it's just not pungent, if that makes sense. By the time you mix it with 40+ oz of water its just a very light flavor.

So I mixed my off day intra aid the other day and I didn't realize I put less water( I usually eyeball it) not too bright considering the measurements are right there,lol.
Anyway my point is that it did mix very well still,but man was it tart! then again I did not mind that.
I have gone through quite a few tubs of grape shock therapy and then some.That flavor of shock therapy is pretty tart imo!
so if that is your thing try a lil bit less water and it should still mix very well.

I am or I should say have been taking creatine supplement pre workout for at least most of the log,not anymore.
There are numerous studies out there pertaining to the mass building power combo of creatine and beta alanine,some subjects have gained 10-12 lbs of lean mass in a 12 week period.very power combo it is indeed,throw in the whey hydro,waxy maize taurine,eaa's you have one powerful stack.

strentgh has gone up a bit more but nothing too noticeable,or at least for me.
Muscle fullness is the most prounounced for me so far,those 20 grams of carbs w the beta alanine really are producing some wicked pumps during training.
This is by far one of those supplements you have to give a full tub a shot before really seeing it's potential.So for that im grateful Universal hooked me up w trying this out.

Diet has been off a bit lately, in othe words I have not been eating as much.This is where the intra aid has really helped out,well to a degree at least.If I did not have I know for a fact I would feel totally flat during and after training.In literal and figurative sense I mean with the whole flat feeling.So between the Taurine,eaas,carbs,etc it has given me a nice clean bit of energy along with a signifigant muscle fullness.
Tub is getting very low,however the results are still showing in many areas as opposed to dwindling.
 
It's a sad day when you see the bottom of the tub approaching isn't Dr Z? LOL! It's interesting how everyone likes it mixed a little different. Some guys like it thicker and stronger like you do and others like it more watered down. That is the great thing about a powdered "mix it yourself" supplement though. You have complete flexibility in this area.

Drk, sorry for screwing up the log before and causing you hard feelings. I hope the product continues to work good for you.

more so with this flavored supplement,LOT'S of flexibility.

- I really prefer something like this over a typical energy type supplement.I get a nice clean and sustained energy and of course it helps those last 2-3 reps get done.That is all I need really.Now this has been one of the most noticeable benefits as I come to closing this tub out.The carbs,the beta alanine are what is the cause of this im sure.

- there have been quite a few different mixtures I have tried and even loved a couple big time.Latley I have only done the intra aid and water and no ice cubes even.This is all due to other reasons.The non mixing,well im either low on all other supplements or out!

-did hack squats the other day and it actually helped with the last 3-4 reps.I firmly believe the intra aid helped.I will say it even again,the longer you use intra aid the more you will like it.If you are trying it for first time,give it at least a few weeks if not the full tub! you will know what I mean.

I feel you on the cooking/prepping meals. I've been slacking with that and order too many 'to-go' meals lately. Get back in the kitchen, it's worth it.

Well it looks like I am down to the last 2 scoops or so of Intra-Aid so we will see how it goes later tonight and I will report back tomorrow!

thanks for checking in guys!
 
I first heard tried Venison chili when someone from the animal team told me to try a little while back,it's ok.Not my fav in the world,I prefer regular beef.I want to try bison chili but not sure how that would come out.

more to come...
 
I like venison dipped in egg white then dipped in flour or instant potatoes and pan fried. yum!

I'll be over, what's for dinner bro? LOL!

Nice score. Big blessings!
 
AM Forum members dinner at DrkZoolanders house !

We all have to wear a name tag with our forum names on them. :lol:
 
lol It would be my pleasure fellas,trust me it would.Bad news is,I called them back and turns out it is a $100 gift certificate towards your first purchase,sneaky sneaky lol.Told him no thanks I like where I get my meat.

so anyway im all done with my intra-aid and it is time for my final write up!

1st off,thanks to every single person who took some time to check out the log,thanks.Glad ya were on board.

on to the final write up.......

going into it I knew it couldn't be bad since Universal made it.
how good is the question? and would I like the carbs intra? etc etc so here we go...




TASTE:

the taste is real delicious and refreshing,not a strong sour blue raspberry and not a non existant flavor.It is in the middle,a little bit of sweetness and fruity blue raspberry to it,good going here for sure!



MIXABILITY:

now keep in mind there is waxy maize starch and a nice amount of other things in this profile.So with that being said, it is really,really good.You do not even have to mix for 10 seconds,you can even play around with the amount of water.IT mixes really well,I was even surprised with this to be honest.It mixes just as good as anything else.


ENDURANCE: it shines big time here,especially the longer you use it.INfact the last week or so it became real profound.I made sure to order a new tub so I w ouldn't go long with out it,Im hoping to get another tub in the next few weeks so I can run two tubs back to back without missing a day.Those last 3-4 reps have never came with more ease! really,it is impressive here.It helps mentally too,even if you give up mentally it just seems your body pushes further.Nothing kills ya more mentally when your body gives up last rep or so.
A+ all the way in this dept!


PUMP: I for one get a great pump from beta alanine type supplements,combine that with everything else in the product and it gave me a signifigant pump a good 25-30 min into the workout!


RECOVERY: recovery was through the roof especially after a couple weeks,more stamina during workouts and DOMS was pretty much non existant from there on out!




<<< I was using a creatine product for most of the duration of this tub,but stopped a about a couple weeks from today.With that being said I gained almost 5 lbs.My body has always responded well to waxy maize/whey hydro combo.Very powerful and underrated combo here,on top of everything else,great product!
I HIGHLY suggest you give it a try,you certainly do not have to use 2 scoops on training days or 1 scoop on non training days to see results! it really is an all in one bodybuilder workout drink! hydration,recovery,stamina,endurance,etc...
give it a shot for sure!

:dance:
