Took 1 scoop after hitting arms. Pump came on fast and volume to arms is still increasing. I have those synthol looking arms..lol. Everything is up- I am stronger and can get in more reps - all due to recovery. I am able to hit smarter and harder. Mood also high and I am not at all tired.

I have tried many BCAA before and never really got anything from them. That is why I just switched over to whey. The taste on endurance is great-for a BCAA. The mixability is also great...with others - I had huge amounts of white flake that would take forever to dissolve. I think with endurance I am getting some BCAA , but the other two component-the creatinol o phosphate- beta alanine , seem to give me a good recovery. So I am total loving this even more than my whey. In fact I have a tub of whey that I have totally not been using, hope it doesnt go bad.

That's whey cool to hear!! Lol

No problem. These log are giving me a good chance to get to know the formutech nutrition brand. To be honest if it wasnt for these log - I dont think I would be introduced to the brand. You guys make great stuff.

DB hex press 50lbs-3 set- 10 reps
fly machine- 90,100,110,120,130 -5 set- 10 reps

Took 1 scoop postworkout. I cut my preworkouts and am trying to clean my system out. This cycling off - has been great. I though at first I would feel tired, but I am actual kicking it into higher gear. Chest pumped up fast and I feel stronger. One problem is that my gym only has 100lb DB. So for now I am just slowing them down. Endurance still kickin and the stuff tend to build up in recovery effect the more you use it.

Nice update! taking a break from most supps once in a while is a good thing, especially anything with any kind of stimulant in it. Workouts are looking strong brotha!

I too have tried many BCAA, and really enjoy endurance over any others I have used. I think the combination of the Cit Mal, Ba, and COP inside the BCAA has given it a edge over any other product. I can tell a huge difference in my cutting phase. It's amazing how much your body relies on what you are in when you are sub 6%. Everything is so much more exaggerated then at 12%. Each meal means more, each vitamin, and each supplement. You can feel the energy difference if one this is off. Endurance is such a staple for me after my last few competitions.

Perhaps I missed it but what are you doing for cardio?? 50 minutes, great job. I tend to loose focus at 20 minutes even watching TV.

20 min elliptical then 20 min treadmill then 10 min bike. I jump around - thats because I get bored as hell on the same thing. But its not very intense cardio- just to get heart rate up and sweat.

same here, I always do the stationary bike, get my HR up to about 120-130bpm and go for 30-60 minutes while watching a movie. I get a good sweat on and it's proven to burn more calories of fat vs muscle than moderate or high intensity cardio (other than HIIT which has other metabolic benefits)

Final review:

I ran endurance post workout. I have tried many BCAA products before. Endurance seem to work because of the add beta alanine and creatinol-o-phosphate along with the Standard BCAAs. Taste of endurance is top notch, smell of powder is however like indian curry smell. When you open the tub that is the smell I get. But add water and smell is gone and mixability is excellent. Takes about 4 shakes in blender bottle.

The noted affects of endurance are recovery related. Shortly after intake the muscle feel replenished and burning and soreness are very minimal. I am someone who gets sore a lot. With endurance soreness was about 2/10 at end of week. Normal I am about 9/10. This allowed me the ability to hit harder and harder without having to take into consideration what I did the day before. This all boils down to better muscular improvement all over. So I am sad to be done with this tub of endurance and am glad to final find a BCAA i like and give me results and is not a waste of my money-time. I will definite keep endurance in mind and am planning on getting more and try running it 1 day on and the other day with whey and so on..
