When I first heard about intra-workout supplements, I thought they were not for me, I already had my pre-workout NO supplement and had plenty of energy during my workout from that. Then one day I got a free sample of SciVation Xtend. I was able to spread the sample out over a few days and the results are great.
Scivation Xtend does not necessarily give you overall energy, but what it does do is give you that little extra pump in that last rep or last set. I’ve also noticed that it makes it so that my energy is spread out throughout my workout, and I’m not exhausted and not lowering my weights the closer I get to the end of my workout.
One other nice thing about this product is that it makes your recovery time faster. You will notice that you are less sore the day after a hard workout. Overall I think this is a great product for anyone looking for that little extra push at the gym. Oh and the taste is awesome, I had the refreshing lemonade and it was much better than my usual workout drink, water. I loved it so much that I have decided to include it in our top 10 supplements list!
I recently watched the steroid documentary “Bigger, Stronger, Faster*”(note the asterisk in the title). This movie did a wonderful job of presenting both sides of the steroid world. Almost everything you hear about steroids is negative, but about half way through the documentary it takes a turn, and all of the sudden there are multiple doctors and patients praising steroids. They rattle off a list of side effects and then tell you what the list of side effects is for(hint: it’s something you probably take every day) then compare that list to the side effects of steroids and all of the sudden they don’t seem so bad. The movie quickly snaps you back into reality with the story of a teen steroid related death.
All though I have been and always will be against steroids, this documentary definitely opened my eyes to the other side of the argument and proved to me that these “illegal” steroids if used correctly and not abused can be effective in enhancing injury recovery and for those that want, performance enhancement.
This song(and album!) is a constant on my Ipod while I’m working out. The ending breakdown part really gets me going through those last few sets in the gym.
