Scivation Extend

There's not a whole lot to think about here...both products have your BCAAs, use whichever you like best. At the end of the day, it won't really matter...Dave has said it himself, the intraworkout stuff really isn't necessary, as long as you get your pre-workout meal in. If you disagree, take it up with him!

Thing is the bcaa's do matter especially when dieting. See you can use CO (especially with HP) as a meal and skip all those calories while getting all the benefits. Take it before you work out and the CO during and you see results on almost no calories. Thats the benefit and with no glucose spike its just that much better.
Nobody is saying there is only one way or its the only way to accomplish things just that there may be a better way or aleast a better way to accomplish a certain task (I.e. dieting) I don't think anyone on a bulk is really worried about it with all the food they are eating, bcaa will most like not be a problem.

Really, 4 scoops a workout assume you workout 4x a week will last you a month? Kind of confused there. 90 servings for 36$ is pretty cheap for an intra-workout/recovery product that has won numerous awards at the Olympia and is up for 3 more again this year.

You are comparing fasted subjects. How many individuals do you know train in a 100% fasted state? Not many at all.

To get optimal protein synthesis, and thus better results, you should consume at least 2 or 3 of those servings a day. Not just one serving (or a double serving i guess) during your workout, only on the days you work out. I also have the 390gram bottle. Trust me, it lasts only one week.

And as far who trains in a fasted state? Pretty much everyone who is dieting, my friend.

come on you can't really make it that simple there has to be some tough really complicated stuff going on here. I mean there is a posted study! HAHA.
seriosuly its funny after they started this in the ALR thread and the science came out you heard not a word then all of a suddden this thread pops up in here. I don't have anything invested on either side just kinda funny when you look at it.

Man, if only Arnold, Franco, Lou, Sergio, and all the other golden-age greats had access to modern BCAA supplements...just imagine how much their physiques could have improved!

Nice sarcasm. The truth is their physiques could have been benefited from todays supplements.

Quoted for bullshit. Today's pharmaceutical advances, yea...supplements, no. You've been brainwashed by a multi-billion dollar advertising industry.

Perhaps you dont realize that many pharmaceutical companies produce supplements as well. If you see benefits when your using something, and those same benefits are no longer there when you don't use it, its hardly brainwashing. Where does your skepticism originate?

now this has gone in a totally different direction. lol w.e

i just know one thing, going from 4 scoops of watermelon xtend everyday to 4 scoops of CO i noticed a HUGE difference, recovery and actual size gains throughout a few months....if u don't believe it then take xtend be my guest but when it comes down to it...CO is a far superior bcaa supplement, hands down

I always train in a fasted state (I don't really eat until I get to the gym after I wake up, my current schedule allows for that) and I'm doing a CKD so the glucose response quoted in that study is a bit bothersome seeing as how I tend to sip on xtend throughout the day.

By the reps own admission you shouldnt be drinking it though out the day.

Hence why we reccomend the product as an INTRA-WORKOUT PRODUCT, and hence why its up for Intra-Workout product of the year at the olympia

And fyi, SizeOn is going to STOMP xtend in this category

[Growin24/7]

size on destroys some ppl's stomachs tho...myself and my buddies hated that stuff because of the constant burping and bathroom problems while/during after the workout

some ppl do love it tho!

Funny, though, how the label recommends drinking it throughout the day. Anyways, live and learn...

Funny indeed, should tell you something.

PRODUCT PIMPING!!! - Beverly Mass Amino Tabs>>all these products

And lol at arguing over BCAAs. That's almost as stupid as getting into a heated debate over Cell Tech vs Cell Tech hardcore.

[HammerStrength12]

And lol @ people taking the word of the "experts" so seriously. This is the supplement industry, where do you think these reports are coming from exactly, Harvard Medical School?
