Mickfootie's IntrAbolic/IntraXcell stacked log

Firstly i would like to thank Predator Nutrition and Athletic Edge Nutrition for giving me the oppertunity to run this stack.

Let's have a look at the products :

IntraXcell :

IntraXCell is scientifically formulated to:

1 - Boost Explosive Muscular Strength and Endurance, forcing lean muscle gains.
2 - Increase Intracellular Carnosine Levels and Fight Muscular Fatigue & Metabolic Acidosis.
3 - Improve healthy blood flow to working muscle, resulting in extreme muscle fullness and vascularity
4 - Naturally boost the power antioxidant glutathione and fight cellular fatigue.

History is about to be made once again!

Until now, creatine, with numerous research studies to support its effectiveness, was the leading supplement for improving exercise and muscular performance. Since creatine exploded into the sports nutrition world in the early 90's, our understanding of exercise physiology and sports nutrition has evolved exponentially. Exciting new research has given rise to another breakthrough, one that could change the direction of the industry like creatine did so many years ago..

Boost Strength and Increase Lean Muscle Gains with IntraXCell!

When you exercise or train at a high intensity, your muscles increase their production of hydrogen ions (H+) which lowers muscular pH, making them more acidic. This increase in musclular acidity (also called metabolic acidosis) directly interferes with muscular contraction, energy (ATP) production and increases fatigue, all factors that cause your performance to plummet. While muscle acidity has certainly proven to decrease strength and contribute to muscular fatigue, new research is now showing that exercise-induced intracellular free radical production is another source of muscular fatigue. The combination of muscular acidity and increased free radical production greatly diminishes your performance during exercise, stopping your workouts cold and interfering with lean muscle gains.

Fortunately, Athletic Edge Nutrition has developed a tool you can use to combat intracellular acidity and free radical production, pushing your performance, physique and results to the next level.

IntraXCell works to Boosts Strength, Fight Cellular Fatigue and Increase Lean Muscle Gains in two ways:

1 - Contains research supported Beta-Alanine, which effectively boosts intramuscular
carnosine levels, which works to fight/buffer fatigue-causing Hydrogen Ions, allowing for extreme muscular strength, power and endurance.

2 - Increases production of the power antioxidant glutathione with N-acetyl- cystine (NAC)Alpha-Lipoic Acid. Glutathione is a power antioxidant in your muscle cells that can improve exercise performance by preventing damaging free radicals than can cause cellular fatigue.

IntrAbolic :

IntrAbolic Highlights:

1 - Build Muscle Fast
2 - Fight Muscle Breakdown
3 - Boost Endurance & Explosive Muscular Strength
4 - IntrAbolic-Peptides™ providing 70-80% rapidly absorbed, low-molecular weight di- and tripeptides
5 - 15 Grams of Amino Acids per scoop
6 - Shake & Mix, No blender needed

What makes IntrAbolic different from the current supplements that fit in the pre-workout and post-workout categories?

By now, you are probably aware of the importance of two nutrient timing windows: pre-workout and post-workout. However, one largely overlooked nutrient timing window, is intra-workout(during-workout) supplementation. Exercise in itself causes our body's to greatly increase blood flow to working muscles and increase cellular sensitivity, enabling are muscles to increase the absorption rate and utilization of substrates and fuel. By ingesting IntrAbolic, you can greatly boost the anabolic(muscle building), response, fight the catabolic(muscle breakdown) effects of exercise and delay muscular fatigue, resulting in new gains in muscle mass. IntrAbolic is a new breed of peptide/amino-acid, muscle building supplement, which was specifically designed from the ground up, to be taken intra-workout.

What makes IntrAbolic THE perfect supplement to take Intra-Workout?

During your workout, to best capitalize on the intra-workout window of opportunity, a rapid source of amino-acids that will get into your blood during your workout is needed. At the same time, you do not want to be digesting intact protein (whey) or food, which will divert blood and energy away from your working muscles to your gut.

We address these issues by utilizing a unique whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) found exclusively in IntrAbolic. Our custom WPH has undergone a high degree of hydrolysis, which breakdown large proteins into smaller fragments, called peptides. Our custom WPH supplies 70-80% of its peptides, in the shortest and most rapidly absorbed form, which are the low-molecular weight, di-and tripeptides, we refer to as IntrAbolic-Peptides. Due to the fact that IntrAbolic-Peptides do not have to undergo the same slow digestive process as regular protein, they can be absorbed much faster, allowing them to flood your muscles with amino acids, WHILE you train. This effect maximizes the anabolic response during exercise, while fighting muscle breakdown.

In addition to the WPH, we have included another 8 grams of free-form amino acids, which are the second fastest way to get amino acids into your blood and are perfect to combine with di-and tripeptides.

To allow you to push even harder in your training, we have also included a research supported dose of the carnosine booster beta-alanine, perfectly dosed to stack with IntraXCell.

What makes IntrAbolic so unique and effective?

Custom Whey Protein Hydrolysate = IntrAbolic-Peptide

IntrAbolic works by utilizing a unique whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) found exclusively in IntrAbolic. Our custom WPH has undergone a high degree of hydrolysis (over 30%) which supplies primarily low-molecular weight, di-and tripeptides we refer to as IntrAbolic-Peptides™. Unlike standard intact proteins and long chain peptides, IntrAbolic-Peptides™ do not have to undergo the typical slow digestive process. Their unique properties also allow them to utilize a highly efficient transport system, specific to di-and tripeptides. Unlike regular amino acids derived from intact proteins which are slow to enter the bloodstream, IntrAbolic-Peptides are rapidly absorbed, causing a tremendous spike in extracellular amino acids. Research has shown, it is extracellular amino acid concentrations that stimulate and signal our bodies to increase protein synthesis and maximize the anabolic response. Concurrently, this large amino acid spike causes an insulin increase to fight muscle breakdown which occurs during training. Rapid and efficient absorption also makes these peptides ideal for use during your workout as they will not cause bloating or stomach discomfort like other intact proteins.

Free-form amino acids

Another highly efficient and rapid way to get amino acids into the blood (second only to WPH) is through ingestion of free-form amino acids (ffAA’s). Intensive nutrient timing research studies show ffAA’s (due to their quick absorption) can cause a big spike in blood plasma amino acid concentrations and when timed properly with exercise, may illicit a much greater anabolic response from exercise than intact proteins can. Combining WPH with ffAA’s creates a powerful one-two punch in boosting anabolism and fighting catabolism. The beauty of combining di-and tripeptides from WHP with ffAA’s is both use different intestinal transporters to carry them into the blood, maximizing absorption speed with very little redundancy. Current research shows that di- and tripeptides may actually enhance the ffAA’s transporters, further increasing the rate of absorption.

Leucine

This powerhouse amino acid has been shown in research to both directly stimulate protein synthesis and indirectly by increasing the hormone insulin, which is both anabolic and anti-catabolic. Simply put, this is one of the most effective amino acids you can take intra-workout and further enhances the anabolic response when other essential amino acids are present.

Beta-Alanine, Carnosine Booster

Touted as the biggest scientific breakthrough since creatine, the amino acid beta-alanine has exploded into the sports nutrition industry, as more people find out just how effective this supplement really is. This worldwide explosion can largely be credited to the enormous popularity of our formula, IntraXCell, The World’s First DEDICATED carnosine booster. When taken at a minimum dose of 3.2g per day, its cumulative effects when taken daily for 1-2 weeks, can impact your workout performance greatly.

Much of beta-alanine’s effects are realized by boosting the synthesis of a intracellular (inside the cell) buffer called carnosine. Carnosine is a dipeptide, composed of the amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine and has the ability to stabilize muscular pH by soaking up fatigue causing hydrogen ions(H+).

It has been dosed perfectly to stack with IntraXCell to maximize the speed of carnosine synthesis and bring about BIG GAINS in strength, muscle and endurance.. FAST!

Electrolytes/minerals

The importance of replacing the electrolytes: sodium, potassium and chloride should not be overlooked since, during exercise, we are losing electrolytes at an accelerated rate. Just as important, is their ability to assist in the absorption of fluid and carbohydrate uptake in the gut. The minerals calcium and magnesium are included as they are needed for muscular contraction and muscular growth. When magnesium levels are low during exercise, research has shown fatigue increases.

A little about me as i am waiting on the product arriving.

Thoughts

Felt a little tired this morning when i woke but once i was at the gym i was ready for the workout. The workout felt good throughout and legs ended up like jelly once i had done.
Mixing things up again with lighter and heavier weights for higher, lower repped workout. This stack is really allowing me to push that little more which is showing that my muscle endurance is going up especially with the higher repping involved too.
My heavier/lower repping isn't as heavy as it was a while back but it is improving on every workout and hoping it won't be long before i am back up to where i was earlier in the year.

Fave day tomorrow of Chest and Triceps....

Thoughts

Very good workouts had. Strength is definatley increasing and i am now back to some of the lifts where i was in the beginning of the year before my issues. Definate body shape changing in the mirror with reduced BF% and lean muscle gaining.

Anyone looking for a stack that delivers the results and in a short period of time with improvements ongoing the longer you use it then this is one that will be hard to beat for sure. :)

4 Week Review

Here is a 4 week review of the stack. I will be continuing to use the stack well into the New Year and will update weekly on my progress.

Ok lets see what the stack has done for me overall over the 4 weeks of use :

The first thing noticable was that there was less Lactic Acid build up within the muscles during the workouts and could push out more reps without feeling fatigued.
This in turn help develop strength increases which where very noticable after around 2 weeks or so. I could start to put extra plates on and continue to drive through them with relative ease. By the end of 4 weeks i am actually back to where i was earlier in the year, before i had my little health issue, in respect to strength gains.
I then started to shorten my resting times between sets and still push out the same weights and reps for the shorter resting time. My recovery has been very good and feel i have been ready to go in each and every workout.
This has also helped in my Cardio sessions and have been able to up the intensity within the same time of the sessions.
The stack has also helped with some fat burning and can really notice a difference around my waist.

All in all this is an excellent stack for anyone wanting fast results from good high quality products.

As i said i will be continuing with the stack and still update weekly and post up some shots after 8-12 weeks of use.
