John Meadows - A Day in the life part 1
watch this video. Unless you're doing your intra workout shakes like that, you probably won't see the results you're looking for.
Do you mind sharing your opinion to? Thanks
1- Did you benefit, have a neutral result, or a negative result from intra workout nutrition?
2- What supplements did you use and doses?
3 - did you use any exogenous insulin with your protocol?
Experience only
The first time I tried it I made a huge jump. This was 2007 with Vitargo(nutrex and professional supps brands), Universal BCAA Stack + EAA stack, and some creatine and glutamine. Hard to remember the doses but prob about 100g carbs and 3 scoops of each Universal product. Creatine 5g, Glut 10g.
NO insulin.
Since, I have gone back and forth with it several times.
Ive used Vitargo from GenR8, Karbolyn from Professional Supps, Waxy Maize which I think is absolute garbage, Chaind Reaction, Karbolyn from AAEFX, and Glycofuse now. I probably used others..just cant remember.
I had mediocre results the last 5 yrs...often being very uncomfortable and bloated soon after drinking them. No slin.
Enter Glycofuse.
Perfection.
Enter Peptopro.
A match made in heaven with Glycofuse.
Enter Leucine, Beta Alanine, Creatine, Glycerol and some other goodies.
This intra workout nutrition is absolutely SILLY. Helps facilitate pumps, energy, COMFORT, and recovery like nothing I have ever experienced. This in turn, allows you to train the bodyparts more often. STILL NO SLIN.
But that is about to enter the equation soon.
So, in a nutshell...
2007: the first time I used it....great results.
5+ yrs of tinkering and mostly not any great results. The two carbs that shined was Chaind Reaction and Karbolyn because they were better on the stomach.
2013:Amazing results with stamina, pumps, and recovery.
No slin ever..yet.
Hey, Knight, that's amazing and very informative, thank you. Do you mind pointing me in the direction of where to get the items in bold please? For instance, can I get these items or a variation of them at a GNC, or a popeyes?
And could you list the amounts of each you used? Without actually physically referencing, this sounds a lot like the Mike Arnold protocol minus the slin
Thank you very much!!!
Glycofuse is made by Gaspari and I buy it at lockoutsupplements online. Also, Id look at allstarhealth online.
Peptopro, Instantized Leucine, Carnosyn(beta alanine), Creapure (creatine), and Glycerol Monostearate, as well as Taurine and Glutamine are all available at True Nutrition.
I bought Now Foods 500g Beta Alanine from allstarhealth because it was slightly cheaper due to my comparing. I also bought 2000g of Optimum Creapure because I found it cheaper. But we are talking a couple bucks here and there...so its probably easier to go to the one stop shop that TrueNutrition is. And ofcourse they are a sponsor of the board.
I use 100-150g Glycofuse, 15-20g peptopro in each of 2-3 shakes. And the rest is Mike Arnold's designated doses. I use two shakes right now...and when I use slin I will likely go to a third.
so 4-6 scoops glycofuse per shake? damn, thats like a tub a week!
I'm using 25g glycofuse, 25g orange gatorade (cheaper carbs that dont bloat me), 20g hydro whey (vanilla) per shake. 3 shakes. tastes great. I'm getting some stomach discomfort but probably because I'm using a standard shaker cup and need much more water. Definitely experiencing some improvements in my body. With 20iu slin.
I like to drink a protein shake right before going to the gym, then sip on 120g sugar from lemonaide or gatoraide.
-Intra workout nutrition gives me more energy toward the end of my workout than not using it.
-There are NUMEROUS studies supporting using intra workout nutrition based on solid bloodwork numbers.
-How in the world could you possibly tell if it had a tangible positive result on you training other than a vague "feeling?" YOU HAVE NO CONTROL. Please explain if you feel it does, because there is no way the other parameters could be controlled, it's impossible.
