hows it taste tho? I honestly could careless how like great it is, because If I cant stand the taste it wont go down.
I will throw it up.I mean I know maybe I should suck it up and stuff, but ive tried and failed, id much rather look forward to drinking something than sweating bullets getting ready to hold my noze and suck it in. know wut i mean?

I think its the best tasting BCAA I have ever tried. I have also seen a few reviews floating around about the taste, and they were all positive.
We also sampled it at the Olympia this year and everyone loved it. Taste was my biggest concern for this product and I would not let it get put out, until it tasted good. I know drink it everyday.

that sounds good then, i bought a 90 serving xtend lemonade about 1 month ago. Still got probably about 45 servings left. Hopefully I can pick up some of this stuff soon.
Do you know if mixing bcaa intake would be bad?
like if i ordered it now, could i take one today, and then a different the next day?

Oooh, someone got the hook-up!!!! :head:
I've got the berry flavor rockin right here myself. I'm uber picky when it comes to flavor, and I can honestly say that I really do like this one. Definitely good job on it. I'll hit up the orange eventually, too. Until now, my favorite was Xtend Watermelon. But I think I just found a new favorite flavor!

Looks really interesting. And the taste is as good or better than xtend......hhmmmmm???? I'm an loyal xtend grape and watermelon guy, but I may have to give this a shot. I've got about 2 servings left in my 90 serving grape jug of xtend. Where did you find the coupon? So, BigSmith, where would be the best spot to purchase, AX.com or BB.com?

I'm a very avid Xtend user, but when AX came out with this I decided to change things up a bit and pick up a bottle of AXCell. Here is a mini review:
-Taste: 10/10 - Man the Orange is amazing. It definitely taste like a "sparkling orange" kind of hard to explain but just going down you get this sparkling sensation. Its one of the best flavored product I have tried hands down.
-Mixability: 7/10 - This one is a bit hard to judge.. I am used to Xtend which sometimes is mixable and other times is not. This one definitely mixes well, but it takes some time to get the leucine floating at the top to dissolve. Not that big of a deal.
-Performance: 8/10 - Used it on both a stim day and a non-stim day. The non-stim day my endurance was up and I was hardly sore the next day. The product definitely helps iwth recovery. On the stim-day this product was awesome, I am assuming its due to the inclusion of the Gluronolactone but when I combined it with Jacked my endurance and energy was up 2 fold compared to just using jacked. This could very well be placebo but I definitely felt a difference.
In all I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a BCAA product or an alternative from Xtend.
Hope that helps!

great review there, RX!! Thanks a bunch for it!! I get the floaters, too, but don't pay much attention too 'em. What's in there goes down just the same!
Definitely going to have to give this orange a try. I generally like orange-flavored things, but a few years back when I tried out NOXplode's orange flavor, it just killed it for me. But, I have faith in AXcell...

Thanks BigSmith! :biglaugh: Just placed the order a second ago. I'll start taking Axcell this weekend when I start my 3-AD/Havoc stack. Oh and By the way thanks to T-AD and Trama1 for helping me put the stack together. During the cycle, PCT, and Cut I'm going to be taking almost the ENTIRE AX LINE (2 Bottle of 3-AD, Axcell, aPCT, Lean FX, Trisorbagen). I'm thinking of starting a log on this stack this weekend.
I hate to do it it, but any chance on one of those T-Shirts. They're so d@mn cool!:fingersx: If not, no worries.

Glad we got you all lined up! T1's a jerk, so I'm surprised he had time in his busy schedule to help you out.
Just kidding!!! He's a great guy! Almost nabbed him up when he had his 3 days of free-agency earlier this year. Hope that the whole ordeal goes well for you. And enjoy the AX swag!!!

I did my depletion today, and I got to say Im quite impressed.
Let me first start out by saying this is my 8th day working out, I know I know bad news all around, but I ended taking a day off so im trying to push my off day back to saturday. So let me tell you yesterday I probably had one of the worst workouts of my life. I felt horrible, probably because it was my 7th day, and knowing today was my depletion I knew it wasnt going to get better.
Well I started off with 22 minutes of interval running. 1 min walking @ 3.5, 1 min sprinting at 9.0. I started off very rocky, by 7 minutes I didnt feel to hott, but I kept with it and at 18 minutes my last two sprints I was able to knock em out at 10.0. Very impressed, because I really felt like crap and somehow when I started sprinting It just didnt feel like anything. It just felt like I had the energy to do it.
The only thing I did different today other than yesterday was take the axcell. So was it that ? or not? Either way I felt pretty good, rest of the workout was pretty assy for me, im not gonna lie I felt all around bad but I really think in those last few minutes the axcell got me through. Not to sure so its kind of hard to tell because of sooooo may factors working against me today but, further testing will continue!
Let me just finish by saying that axcell tastes miles better than xtend lemon lime. Thats the only bcaa I have to compare it to, but I can easily say that the berry flavor trumps it hands down no contest. A little sour, but I think most bcaa's are like that so its expected.
Ill be taking a day off tomorrow, so maybe in a few days ill post another update. So far so good, it really gave me some extra "umph" when I needed it.
