This morning I strode into the weight-room armed with a brand spanking new tub of Intra-Aid, courtesy of Hoomgar and the other fine folk of UN.
One scoop of it contents into my water-bottle, a few extra grams of dextrose and I was ready to rock. Even as just powder, the stuff tastes good (I got some on my fingers while rooting the scoop out of the tub) and smells good. I knew I was in for a HUGE treat, especially considering I'm accustomed to Bulk BCAAs and dex for peri-workout.
My workouts consist of full-body routines, 3-4 days/week, with undulating periodization and regular unloading. It's what I like, it works and it's put my recovery through the roof.
Today's Workout consisted of:
1.ATG Squats: 275 : 3x12
2. DB Rows Supersetted w/ 3.DB Bench: 90DBs: 3x12each
4.Tricep Rope Pressdowns: 120: 3x12
5.Seated Calf Raises: 270: 3x12 w/5sec held at stretch point between reps, Supersetted w/ 6.External Rotations: 20DBs: 3x12
7. Arnold Presses: 50Dbs, supersetted w/ reverse wrist curls: 20: 3x12
I finished up and felt ready to do a whole other workout - I was psyched! Energy was still going strong and still felt I had plenty of muscular stamina. Too early to attribute it entirely to Intra-Aid, but it certainly played a part and made a difference. No BA "tingles", but I've become somewhat inured to those through past of beta-alanine, so I'm not surprised.
One other thing I would like to add - Intra-Aid dilutes very well. My water bottle holds 1 liter, and I will commonly drain it 1-2 times over the course of a workout (I drink a LOT of water). Today, after consuming about 2/3 of my bottles contents (i.e. Intra-Aid) I refilled it completely. One scoop of Intra-Aid had now been dissolved in approx. 1.67 liters of water, and honestly, it still tasted darn good!
So, overall first impression is definitely a good one - Intra-Aid hit all the right buttons for me, and I'm looking forward to Saturday's workout when I get to use it again!
