I really like ElectroAmino, a new product from High Energy Labs. While amino acids come in a number of forms (we’ve reviewed powders and pills in the past), High Energy Labs has placed them into a chewable tablet format. Each bottle of ElectroAmino contains 120 tablets (30 servings) and can be purchased for a hair under $30. However, the value that is present in each bottle of ElectroAmino makes this…
There are a number of companies that are attempting to make the best possible protein, both in terms of taste and in regards to sheer muscle building. Many of their products turn out to be passable, but only few are able to come forth and be definitively the best product. About Time has a line of proteins that I feel to be some of the best in the world. This…
Ensuring that you have the correct balance of supplements and proper vitamins, acids, and chemicals to foster muscle growth and continued health is a hard thing to do. There are a tremendous amount of books currently on the market that look to provide some sort of information about this, but they seem to vary as much as the authors’ names on the spine do. However, there seems to be one…
I have just started to use amino acids in preparation for working out. I was unsure of the value that they had, but was able to read a few books about the subject and feel that it is what will bring my workout to the next level. Amino acids are what allow muscles to recuperate faster, and as such, allow for better and more sustained muscle growth. The SAN BCAA-Pro…
The Accel Recovery Bar is integral for anyone that is looking for a healthy snack, recovery after a workout, or for a way to easily increase their health. There are three different types of carbohydrates that will restore fuel to the muscles, while there are a few amino acids present that will allow for muscles to be built up faster and bigger than before. Finally, the presence of anitioxidants in…
There is a considerable amount of variation when it comes to pre-workout supplements. While each of them will get you amped due to the presence of caffeine, it takes a good supplement to really do everything that any company promises. To that end, I feel that the GAT Jet Fuse pre-workout is perhaps the best pre-workout supplement that I have tried.
Few people actually know, but the workout process is tremendously stressful on one’s body. It is not typically stressful to anyone that properly supplements, but increasing muscle size boils down to tearing individual muscle fibers up each time one runs, pumps iron, or does anything vaguely strenuous. To ensure that the recovery process goes faster, Amino Recovery provides a host of different amino acids which then facilitate the recovery process.…
It seems to be that the energy shots are the new big thing when it comes to individuals trying to gain and maintain energy. Where much of the use of these energy shots are for those that are not trying to increase their fitness, I contend that there are serious benefits gained by taking energy shots for those that have an active fitness regimen. However, there is substantial variation in…
We have not had much opportunity at this point to cover anything for our Fitness section besides workout supplements. However, the amount of equipment that can be purchased by an individual concerned about their fitness is nearly infinite. We were able to receive a Schiek Ab Strap to kick off our section, and are still using it in our workouts. This Ab Strap has multiple functions, allowing individuals to do…
Individuals are very apt to believe that there is little that can typically go wrong or differ between the different types of medicine balls. However, there are quite a few ways in which quality can vary. For example, the rubber outer shell can begin to split or leave residue on an individual’s hands. We received a 10 pound medicine ball for review from fitness company Valeo, and after a few…
We had tremendous luck when we used K-OTIC the first time around, and wanted to make it a point to include it in our workout regimen over the course of three months.
At NeuFutur, we go through a tremendous amount of different nutritional supplements. Protein drinks, along with thermogenics, are one of the few things that we use on a daily basis. Premier Nutrition has created a single-serve drink in three flavors (Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry) that gives drinkers 30 grams of protein while only containing 160 calories.
Forgetting to take your shaker out of your workout bag after a hard workout is something that is tremendously easy to do, and creates a ticking time bomb that will absolutely gag you the second that you go to open and clean your bottle. Strip-based SDC Nutrition is quite familiar with this phenomenon, and looks to make it a thing of the past with their unique About Time Fill, Shake…
When one is making a protein shake, there are a tremendous amount of different options to be had. Whether it is whey, hemp, pea, or any one of a number of different protein sources, there seems to be a tremendous amount of differentiation between these types. The simple fact is that humans typically need a whole heap more protein than they traditionally get in a normal day, and this need…
There are a considerable amount of protein shots that are currently available on the market. A number of them provide a decent serving of protein, but do it with a horrible taste or too small of an amount of protein to really mater. However, the Liquid Morph+ by iSatori is one of those products that considerably raise the bar. When one looks at the vial of Liquid Morph+, what immediately…
When it is compared to the amount of running, weight-lifting, cardio, or any sort of exercise an individual may do, scooping out a load of protein powder seems like a lot of work. However, Twinlab’s new product, Power Fuel, has made it much easier to get the benefits from the workout that you truly need.
When it comes to getting protein in our systems for a hard workout (either after or before), we typically use a traditional protein powder in a water (or soy milk) suspension. We received some samples of New Whey Liquid Protein from IDS Sports, and have taken quite a liking to them. This is due to a number of features. First off, 3.8 ounces of the liquid protein contains 42 grams…
This is the first product that we have been lucky enough to review from Redefine Nutrition. Simply put, it is one of the best weight loss and energy-providing supplements that we have used yet. The versatility of Pro Xanthine means that individuals just wishing to lose pounds will benefit just as much as those that are doing a focused and sustained cutting phase in their workout regimen. An individual just…
Before using the Bodyminder, I pretty much just jotted down my workout on a piece of paper and hoped that it did not get lost. The Bodyminder is the perfect addition to the workout, as it ensures that exercise-minded individuals will be able to continually build their workouts up. Each part of the book has a tremendous amount of information to jot down, whether it be whether the individual stretched,…
We were able to receive a Keurig machine for review a few months back, and we received a sample box of the Barista K-Cups for review soon after that. While we had a few favorites in the sample box that was provided with the machine, I feel that the Barista Prima K-Cups are a little more nuanced and intense than what was provided us. These K-Cups are more for the…
