Everyone is so busy focusing on pre and post workout supplementation that many neglect what they put in their body while the hard work is being done. I am a firm believer in the premise that Intra-Workout Supplementation is equally important as pre and post. 

I will start by stating that water and/or Gatorade simply is NOT enough for someone who trains at an advanced level. Therefore, I have created an Intra-Workout Supplementation protocol that I believe works extremely well. 

Here is a breakdown of the ingredients I use…. read more…

When it comes to supplements, everyone wants to know which are best for fat loss. When beach weather rolls around, or a competition draws near there are alot of choices in terms of fat loss supplements. The name of the game always is to shed the fat and hold onto the hard earned muscle. 

Right off the bat everyone needs to know that there is no miracle pill in a bottle that will turn you into a shredded bodybuilder or figure model over night. The proper training, nutrition, and cardio has to be there as well. Supplements are meant to SUPPLEMENT effective training, nutrition, and supplement regimens. So don’t go eating like a fat ass, and skip out on the gym and then look to a pill to help you out. 

After dealing with hundreds and hundreds of clients I have discovered which crucial ingredients help the most for fat loss. And for the record, I don’t talk about or mention any of the hardcore fat burners such as hydroxycut or others because these I feel are way to hard on the body. Yeah they deliver results, but at what cost. Lets not forget that Hydroxycut went through a major recall. So anyway, I have always said that it is always about pure, fundamentally sound ingredients. read more…

When it comes to a pre workout supplement I am very picky with the ingredients. I also do not like fillers or sweeteners. I am looking for performance and results and not a damn thing else.

As I have stated before, I like to purchase individual ingredients and mix them all so that I can take in the ratios that I feel work best for me.

However, not everyone wants to play the role of a chemist before they go to the gym. Some people like things the simple, yet effective way. For you guys the Extreme Nitric Stack (ENS) is the perfect fit.

I recommend the ENS to a large portion of my clients for two basic reasons…. read more…

I love to stack L-Arginine Ethyl Ester with L- Citrulline Malate. When coupled together they give me a mind blowing pump at the gym. And we all know, bigger pump = increased blow flow = better nutrient delivery. I don’t like the idea of taking any aggressive and harmful supplements that are on the market for a good pump. I look for purity and the highest quality ingredients with NO fillers. Once again Nutrabio.com delivers. 

Benefits of Arginine Supplementation

• Supports protein synthesis

• Increased Nitric Oxide and blood flow

• Improved nutrient delivery

• Boosts circulatory system

• Promotes healthy sexual function

I choose L-Arginine Ethyl Ester because regular L-arginine is slightly limited in its effectiveness. A good portion of regular arginine is absorped in the intestine. This is a no-no for anyone desiring a muscle inflating pump. read more…

Benefits of BCAA Supplementation

• Enhanced ability to build, repair and strengthen muscle tissue.

• Increased muscular endurance

• Faster metabolic rate

• Appetite suppression

• Helps Preserve Lean Muscle

BCAAs are extremely important and vital because they are not affected by the liver and go directly to muscle tissue. This is critical for muscle growth, repair and recovery during and after intense weight training session.

BCAA supplementation also works to reduce the amount of tryptophan that reaches the brain. Tryptophan produces seratonin, which will signals the brain that the body is tired and fatigued. BCAAs works to reduce these signals and combat decreased strength and endurance associated with increased seratonin levels.

Incorporating BCAAs into your supplementation plan can also help with appetite suppression. BCAAs will provide an adequate amount of amino acids to flow throughout the bloodstream. This will often signal that the body is well fed and result in less unwanted and/or unscheduled hunger attacks.

When to take you BCAAs

In or around your weight training session – On days that you will be weight training, it is ideal to have a nice dosage of BCAAs around this time. You can have them 30-60 mins before training, during training, or immediately after training. The advantage to having BCAAs prior to or during training is that they will work to suppress cortisol levels. And for anyone looking to build muscle, we know that cortisol is the ENEMY !

First thing in the morning – Taking BCAAs first thing in the morning will lead to rapid absorption. Upon rising the body metabolism is at its fastest, there is nothing in the stomach and the muscles are like sponges ready to take in nutrients. Great time for BCAAs. On training days you can take a dose here and another dose in or around your training session.

At night, towards the end of the day – Taking BCAAs at the end of the day can help keep protein synthesis and GH levels elevated and cortisol levels low. Once again, this is very good !

Experiment with your dosage times to see what works best for you. It can become rather tedious and expensive to take the BCAAs three times a day, but if you have the patience and the money it will help out a lot. Try not to exceed 20 grams in one day.

BCAA Ratio

Look for a 2:1 ratio of Leucine : Isoleucine and Leucine : Valine

Ex. 5 gram dose of BCAA =

2.5 grams Leucine

1.25 grams isoleucine

1.25 grams valine
