PES- Amino IV

doggy_dog said:
This might be a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway.

Being that Amino IV has a high content of leucine (and knowing that leucine is the primary trigger for mps), is it redundant at all to have a protein shake immediately post-wo?
If you're consuming 2 full scoops of Amino IV during your workout, is that enough to initiate protein synthesis?

I'm obviously no expert on the mps process, I'm just curious and trying to figure out optimal dose timing, etc.

It's enough to initiate things, but not redundant. I always look at my intra-workout as a means to push further and harder while training, but it also needs to support me from going catabolic. It also gets the process ramped up, so that afterwards I can drink my post-workout shake and continue what the intra started, while beginning to effectively recover as well. Either one helps, but together they are greater than the sum.

Yeah, for sure.
I was thinking more from a timing perspective.
Whether it would be better to skip the post-wo shake if you've just consumed the Amino IV and have it later.

I see what you're saying. Makes sense.
Thanks

This.
You still have aminos present in the post-wrokout period. there is no need for a shake right away. I would personally go home and have a whole food meal, or do not stress a shake right away even if its 45-60 minutes after your workout you will be fine because of the aminos present from Amino IV and nearly a large dose of leucine.

No need to pump home a protein shake straight after a workout in most situations; amino IV or not.

you don't seem like a guy that would fall for the expensive unproven creatine...

Taking it because it was inexpensive, has a good amount of HICA, and did I mention it was inexpensive as well as being a high enough maintenance dose of creatine? Lulz. If it had cost more than it did, I would not have bought it.

LoL. For what it is, at the price I bought it for, it's a good product. That special creatine leucine peptide though, I don't think it actually does anything, it's literally just creatine bonded to leucine. Lulz. I don't know what their rhyme or reason is for creating it nor do I think that the at most 500 mg's worth of it per scoop would be efficacious as creatine or leucnine (thus why it's tossed in with BCAAs and straight creatine mono).

Made me scratch my head when they first introduced the peptide because it appeared to be such a nonsensical concept. But, can't complain, it's basically inexpensive creatine + HICA IMO.
 
If you love our CL amino flavor be sure to get in on the Alphamine CL insider that just dropped.
 
So i just tried both BB and CL and gotta say both are good however as many have said I gotta stick with CL. BB is very subtle is taste/flavor however VERY refreshing.
CL on the other hand has a stronger flavour compared to BB. Im not familiar with CL as a flavor so my opinion on this may not be accurate as I thought the lime kind of masked the cherry flavor but there was still a hint of cherry. Anyhow I really liked CL with alteast 600lm of water while the BB around 500ml. Compared to other BCAA products ive tried I really liked how PES decided to flavor theirs more mildy as they arent too sweet which I found some other products to be which to me is more refreshing. Anyways good job PES!

Glad you enjoy it! I would say it does have a slightly different flavor then our amino CL. That being said it still jumped to my top favorite flavor.

Is there an international CL alphamine or is it yohimbe version only at the mo? Quick someone grab Ben.

No UK version of CL Alphamine. If there is enough demand we could make one.

Apologies for missing this when you first asked.
 
I checked all email inbox and junk and didn't receive email. Can someone please email it to me.
 
It is free shipping like PES? Was going to wait 2 months for any new purchase but AS and PES are doing big things not to buy! Also are all 3 products dropping or just 1?
 
You know we can't give away all the details in advance. :)

You don't have to wait long to find out...

Is it nicer than CL Amino IV? This is what I want to know.

I always wait for the initial intros to finish before I order a tub so customers get their orders first. Unfortunately with CL Alphamine I waited slightly too long and we were out of stock so I am still yet to try it. :(

oh lol well to me it was like a mix of fruit punch alphamine tbh with the cherry limeaid amino iv mixed into it

but i always feel great on it. better than norcodrene to, i do notice good mood from norcodrene at times but alphamine is far stronger. if it could be pulled off i think a grape flavor alphamine would be awesome

I'm not that big of a fan of grape. Like you said it would have to be perfect which josh is good at nailing flavors so who knows.

My friend ordered some from the US. I find the US stuff very strong due to the inclusion of SA2 hah. Can't handle one scoop properly yet. :s
 
For all the Amino IV lovers out there...get in on this and maximize that mTOR signalling ;)

Finally on the CL bandwagon. Pretty damn tasty mixed with Lemon HemaVol. Got some CL alphamine on the way too.

Welcome to the CL club sir. It is now my favorite flavor.

The one club I can never quit! I used to like playing around with mixing flavors, but now it's just pure CL for me.

It is my top flavor but I will still keep others around to mix it up here and there. Not often though. :)
