Agree! Love the grape!Animal Juiced Aminos is the jam!
Yes it was fantastic as a supplement!i prefer EAA over BCAA only. There are studies that show EAA are more beneficial than BCAA only. For that, I like IntraMax (which also contains creatine and other ergorgenic aids to help with strength, recovery, and endurance) and Purple Wraath like you mentioned.

For BCAA only, I really like Xtend Elite. The Peak02 is awesome for endurance and it tastes great. For a basic BCAA product, Xtend and Iso Aminos are good and both taste great.
Also Animal Juiced Aminoscorrect me if I am wrong, but one of the downsides of Purple Wrath is that it does not contain Tryptophan.
What brand?2 scoops MPA pharmgrade
10gr glutamine
25gr Highly Brached cyclic dextrin
-the HBCD will go up to 125gr or cut completely depending on season
True nutrition. I have used glycofuse before but I’m not 100% there’s only HBCD in there as a carb source. I think there’s dextrose in there, not saying a ton. Maybe 70/30 HBCD/Dextrose but when I go over 50gr it doesn’t always sit right in my stomach as to where 100gr HBCD from True nutrition is fine.What brand?
How do you like MPA's pharmagrade?2 scoops MPA pharmgrade

Worth the money. Tons of 15% coupons floating out there too.How do you like MPA's pharmagrade?
I've been thinking of adding HBCD, what have you noticed when using it?2 scoops MPA pharmgrade

What would you say the additional benefits from intra-workouts carbs are compared with burning more of your glycogen?2 scoops MPA pharmgrade

Seems about right given the user name.3-4 scoops of true nutrition karboload is great pre/intra.
Increased recovery is the biggest take home for me.I've been thinking of adding HBCD, what have you noticed when using it?
It’s helps prevent MPB (muscle protein breakdown) when added with essential amino acids.What would you say the additional benefits from intra-workouts carbs are compared with burning more of your glycogen?
Is it needed daily for added recovery or only on training days that cause the most DOMS?Increased recovery is the biggest take home for me.
I also noticed when it was pulled during prep; pumps were way down, as was endurance.

HBCD is different than WMS or Karbolyn due to the structure of the molecule. John Meadows spoke about it a while ago. It being a cone shape helps delivery more of the nutrients it’s paired with and also allows for a steady realest of insulin. I’ll try and find the link/videos.
I also truly think intra carbs (when diet is set up correctly) can actually help you build muscle in a slight deficit (I know I’ll get back lash on this)
I noticed it first hand during prep with zero cardio. I kept getting tighter and I kept intra workout carbs and after 4 weeks (when cardio was added back in) I had a slight increase in LBM (18 point skin fold same person, same time of the day, same diet etc). So I guess increased training intensity would be something to note as well
Just training days. It doesn’t have any cumulative affects.Is it needed daily for added recovery or only on training days that cause the most DOMS?
Why would you like extra tryptophan in your intra?correct me if I am wrong, but one of the downsides of Purple Wrath is that it does not contain Tryptophan.
What are the upsides to having extra tryptophan in an intra?correct me if I am wrong, but one of the downsides of Purple Wrath is that it does not contain Tryptophan.
Just a bit to ensure that all 9 are present.What are the upsides to having extra tryptophan in an intra?
I agree that this is pretty efficient especially with that glut4 activation going on.IntraMax for me as well. The 6 grams of whey hydrolysate with leucine is a great. Plus it has creatine, betaine and other goodies for recovery, pump, and hydration.
For cardio I also enjoy Xtend Perform as mentioned above. Great flavor and love Peak O2
L-Methionine is kind of important, one of the most important EAAs, tastes like garbage that's why it's way down the list...This![]()
What are you saying? Good or bad ?L-Methionine is kind of important, one of the most important EAAs, tastes like garbage that's why it's way down the list...
barely any in that formula. Don't think 50mgs will do much of anything...What are you saying? Good or bad ?
So you do not like the overall formula compared to something like Endur3 or Intramax?barely any in that formula. Don't think 50mgs will do much of anything...
Methionine shortage is what makes legumes an incomplete protein....
It's one of two sulfur containing EAAs and for that reason takes like rotten eggs and close to impossible to flavor at required amounts. A good EAA product will not taste real good and therefore it's sprinkled into formulas...
for EAAs just take 20grams whey protein concentrate....gives you all the EAAs at correct ratios plus other amino acids. proven effective.So you do not like the overall formula compared to something like Endur3 or Intramax?
My favourite intra combo is GLYCOFUSE + old ENDUR3. Endur3 taste bad but Glycofuse taste awesome.
Thank you guys for the Glycofuse mentions! Great source of HBCD and comes in awesome flavors or as unflavored to mix.Iforce Swolemate
Gaspari Glycofuse
ALRI Humapro (fantastic EAA product)
