hugo's -Endurance-BCAA log- with Formutech

[hugojaya]

First a big thanks goes out to double s and all the folks at Formutech Nutrition. They gave me 1 tub of orange endurance which is a BCAA with some other goodies.

The label is:

Dose: Right now , I am running this 1 scoop post workout. I may run it intra on leg day. This log will mostly focus on recovery affect of endurance.

Training: My training is 6 day on and 1 day off. I train for a long time about 1.30 to 2 hours. I hit one muscle group per day.. My workouts are alot of volume with hits at alot of angles. Some weeks I rep out and other weeks I go heavy. I have been a bber for over 20 years now, So alot workouts are centered around how I feel. I have no set routine.

Diet: Eat b/t 6-7 meals per day. 200-300 protein and carbs are now at 80-100g. My diet is clean - but on leg days I do up carbs a bit.

Other supplements are as of now:

Fish oil
Vit B,D

DAY 1 Chest

wide bar BB chest press- 2x45-3 set- 15 reps
60lbs - 1 arm db flat chest press- each arm then both arms - 3 set- total 30 reps
Hammer chest press- 1x45 - each arm then both arms - 3 set- total 30 reps
Cable flys- 40,50,60,70 -4 set- 10-20 reps
Hammer incline chest press- 2x45 3 set- 10 reps
incline DB chest press 70lbs- super slow- 3 set- 10 reps
DB hex press 50lbs-3 set- 10 reps
fly machine- 90,100,110,120,130 -5 set- 10 reps

This workout went great. Pump came on very fast and I engorge the area so much that I had to take time to stretch out b/t sets.
As soon as I got to the gym I loaded 1 scoop of endurance into my blender bootle and fill it to the top and left it in my locker for post workout.

Taste - 8/10 - I had orange flavor. I did however put too much water in it. But it tasted like a very weak sunny d. Tomorrow I will use the recommend amount of water and get back to you on that.

Mixability - 10/10 - Like I said I mixed this before my workout and kept it in my locker. After workout , It was 100% mixed.

Recovery- too soon to say-but I did feel it kick in. I however never get the tingles with Beta Alanine.

Nice initial impression! Endurance gives me the tingles every time. Do you not typically get the ba tingles?

 

[hugojaya]

I am one of those people who never gets the ba tingles. I hear so many people talk about that feeling...
There must be some biological difference in the people who get it and dont get it.

Took 1 scoop of endurance post workout. This time I put half the amount of water. Taste like artificial orange- like sunny d. I do feel it kick in and feel very replenished thirst wise and muscle burn does quite down after like 10-20 min. Normal it takes alot more time. I tend feel less sore- dont know at this point if it is the endurance. Need more time with this still. Endurance does have a smell to it in powder form- It smells very curry like- like a indian restaurant and then when you put it in water its orange like.

Interesting comparison to Indian curry lol

Interesting comparison to Indian curry lol

The first day I got it. I was using it in my car and dropped endurance powder into my blender bottle. So I suddenly smelled Indian curry. First I thought it was me..then I open the tub and realized what was going on. But the smell goes away when adding water.

 

[hugojaya]

DAY 3 - cardio 45 min

then back to gym to do abs and calves.

Took one scoop post workout after cardio. Recovery has been great. The soreness I get is very minimal. I hope this affect continues....its allowed me to hit harder and harder.

Leg press 45x 7,8,9,10 4 sets 8-10 reps
Leg press machine- 210,220,230-3 set - 10 reps

Took 1 scoop post workout. Felt it kick in faster now. Soreness is very little and is allowing me to train harder and harder. Even towards the end of the week - I feel very strong. The only thing I can somewhat complain is the taste. For a BCAA it is very good..but I normal use whey protein , so endurance is not as tasty as the whey protein. So its a change for me taste wise. BCAA is general are always very chemical like in taste compared to whey.

Doing some work in here! I hear ya on the bcaa aftertaste, its the same way with DAA, it just has it no matter what. Our BCAA flavoring does a great job covering it up, probably better than any other I've tried especially the bulk stuff!

I just got back in the gym after a 3 month break and I'd be dying of DOMS if not for Endurance. Lol I hit DLs over the weekend and my lower back, glutes and hams are still sore today. Lol

 

[double s]

Glutes hurting??? Spanking DAT a$$

 

[TheSwanks]

Glutes hurting??? Spanking DAT a$$

Yeah I work that shizz

 

[02sixxer]

The aftertaste in BCAA is due to the lucine. It's has an odd hard to cover flavor. From my experience the more water the more you can taste the lucine. But with that said I love my endurance.

I am seeing the same exact thing...the more water I put in the worst the taste. So now I have been putting smaller amount of water. Endurance however for a BCAA product is good tasting. I used many others and they were very hard to get down and on top of that mixability was bad- used to get alot of white stuff floating on top, which makes it even worse to get down.

DAY 6 abs and calves

This is what I call my rest day. I train core alot. It helps me on my other lifts. Calves are trained more for mass. So this is the end of the week for me. What is clearly different for me with the addition of endurance is that I am not at all sore. Nothing hurts that much. Before soreness and pain at end of week would be 8/10 and now its like 2/10. So I am look foward the next week and will hit harder then .

Even in 1 week , I have made good improvement. Weight has gone down by 6 lbs- but I still look bigger than I started out. Due to a slight recomp - that I was not planning on.

I feel aggressive in the gym and mood also higher(mood due to pre-workout mostly).

[hugojaya]

Nice work dude. What's your pwo these days?

I am cycling b/t 3 pwo. One is i-focus- not really a pwo-but focus supplement- but I take it preworkout. The other is jacked advanced, and also blackstone labs- angel dust.

Double S also gave me 2 samples of Volatile. I have logged this before. Let me just say that, the taste of berry is just the best tasting I have seen in pwo. I was thinking of making a smoothie out of it...lol. The affect also awesome.

 

[hugojaya]

DAY 10 cardio- total time 50 min

Took 1 scoop after cardio. Due to cold I have dropped 7lbs. But in the mirror I still look the same. I have however gotten alittle more vascular- which for me is weird. I am just genetical not vascular. Recovery still great on endurance and soreness is still minimal even with cold.

Rope delt pulls....is that where you kind of do a row but up higher around your neck/chest?

Rope delt pulls....is that where you kind of do a row but up higher around your neck/chest?

exactly

 

[hugojaya]

exactly

yes- it for rear delts- I find that it isolates them very good...but you have to use lighter weight and I also hold on static as much as possible.

I watch videos on md and youtube...I then try to implement them- see if it works for me or not. Some movement I cant even find official names for them and some are just movement I have come up with and are working...nothing crazy- just weird angle changes.. I am like a mad scientist that way- bbing is like an experiment- you hold certain variables constant and some you vary.

You're so right, it is a science. Experimenting is the only way to find out what has the most bang for your physique buck!

Those 21's are absolutely brutal, man! I really like your arm routine, good volume and variety! Endurance is perfect for high rep, intense lactic acid inducing work like those 21s. I've also been doing concentration curls in the 20-25 rep range with a full 2 count negative. By the time you're done your arms are friggin USELESS! lol

Took 1 scoop post-workout. Back workout was slower but solid. Back is wider and inner detail is coming in. Recovery is at 9/10 now and soreness in very minimal. Body tend to reset almost about 1hours after workout. That for me is a very fast return. Its feel like I could do even one more weight workout today. But I want to play it safe and rest.

DAY 15 CHEST

DB flat bench - 90 lbs -10 reps then 40- 10 reps-3 sets (superset)
Hex Press- 50lbs- 10 reps- 3 sets
Hammer strength flat bench press 3x45 each side-10 reps- 3 sets
Cable incline bench 45,50,55 lbs --10 reps- 3set
Hammer strength incline bench press 2x45 each side-10 reps- 3 sets
cable cross over- 80,70,60,50 15 to 20 reps- 3 sets
pec deck 70,80,90 15 to 20 reps- 3 sets.

Took 1 scoop post-workout. Chest day went great. Pump just came on very fast. I just keep riding the pump dragon and everything just clicked in. Recovery is off the hooks. I also appear fuller and wider in chest. Will keep hitting hard.

I'd be interested to see what the difference would be on some of your high rep exercises like those 21s, or your cable cross overs, or pec deck with Endurance and without. When you're done with your log, could you maybe give us a comparison?

yes- it for rear delts- I find that it isolates them very good...but you have to use lighter weight and I also hold on static as much as possible.

I watch videos on md and youtube...I then try to implement them- see if it works for me or not. Some movement I cant even find official names for them and some are just movement I have come up with and are working...nothing crazy- just weird angle changes.. I am like a mad scientist that way- bbing is like an experiment- you hold certain variables constant and some you vary.

That it is. An experiment. When you find something that works make a note of it. I do tons of face pulls which is similar to your delt pull. Rope slightly lower then your chest pull with both arms while pulling the rope apart. Pull towards you face keeping your body upright.

Even now the high rep exercises dont burn out my muscles like before. In some ways I like the little burn and in some way I want to feel the burn. But I can now get in more reps than before.

So how does this honestly compare with other BCAA's you have used?

So how does this honestly compare with other BCAA's you have used?

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.

DAY 20 ABS and Calves

Took one scoop Post-Workout. ABs coming in nicely. Endurance has been good with recomp- cutting. I like the fact that it is 0 cals. It appear to be more useful in a cut, than my whey. Also on bloating feeling and bowl has been on the good side.
