DrDarkMatter Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 hi guys, hey does anyone use this? and if so does anyone just add it to their water as they drink it through out the day or do you just use it for pre-workout or wake up (instead of coffee)?I got some for the first time last week and I have been using it, first for pre-workout and then started for a replacement for coffee. thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybro1 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I have used this before quite of expensive paying $45-00 for 30 servings though. The taste is great! Also I got good energy from it I think it was 160mg caffeine a serving...? But i'm pretty caffeine sensitive. I only took pre-workout, and drink Xtend throughout the day makes it easy to drink water.

DrDarkMatter Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 yes, definitely has caffeine, I have heard of Xtend, I will look into it...I am trying to keep my energy up while cutting so I have been adding it to my water during the day....yes it is a tad expensive...thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybro1 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 For energy you should just take caffeine pills throughout the day reasonably cheap, just don't get carried away.Xtend is caffeine free but has B vitamins and amino's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destamoon Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Xtend is pretty damn expensive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I tried it and it made me feel like I was on crack.Will give a +1 to xtend though Love the stuff.But I'm now using MusclePharm's Assault :grin: Similar to the amino energy, but doesn't make me crash.Oh and to answer, I just use them for a pre workout, then I'm on water for the rest of the day.

jimmybro1 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Xtend is pretty damn expensive thoughCan get 90 servings for $100-00 Lemon and Lime is best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastBuilder Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Amino Energy is boss !Love the stuff, I do quite often drink it through out the day but most days it's only during training. I'm not cutting btw, I'm eating far too many cals to be anywhere near cutting :pfft: I usually mix it with 1 scoop to 1 litre of water, then the flavour is epic. When doing this I look at it as it's a whole lot cheaper than Powerade etc and tastes better too !!Have a Milk Bottle for a drink bottle so 3L of water in that bad boy with 3 scoops and I'm good to go. If I don't drink it all at training I just have it till it runs out then refill with just water.Generally drink 1 bottle of Amino and 1.5-2 bottles of water a day, so plenty of fluids so no dehydration from the caffiene etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
severe Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 But I'm now using MusclePharm's Assault :grin: Similar to the amino energy, but doesn't make me crash.Oh and to answer, I just use them for a pre workout, then I'm on water for the rest of the day.I found I felt like dying if doing anything endurance based, if taking pre WO's.As for Assault, I have it first thing in the morning, and then pre WO. I like it. But too much and I get a headache (Exceeding NZ dose, but still under USA dose. Damn, see the scoop from the USA?).Strong crack.

drizzt Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 +1 to Xtend. Tried the ON stuff for one bottle, found the taste not quite to my liking but that's a personal thing. Wasn't bad, just preferred Xtend's Watermelon flavour. I prefer the no caffeine too, get enough of that throughout the day in my coffees.It is a little more expensive, but you can order 1 tub from iHerb and get free international shipping because it is light enough and under the $80 (USD) cap This type of shipping got to me in exactly a week last time I used it.With the current exchange rate, a 1125g tub comes in at under $100 NZD. Cheaper if you use a discount code...It is also $109 from bodybuilding.co.nz if you'd rather pay a little extra to get it quicker, which is a lot cheaper than this stuff used to be available for locally :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I always forget about iherb! Dammit.Severe, I can only have 1/4 of a scoop haha.. Saw the scoop size and was like whaaaaaat the fuuuuuuck! HUGE. I find it great for endurance personally. It's the strength stuff that gives me crazy shakes.So un paleo of me :pfft: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre01 Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Love it, just loved it I used to put into my drinking water. 1 scoop to every 1000ml of water and I was having 3-4 of these every day. Just got too expensive and now I'm doing Paleo I cant have it. But worth it if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsammce Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Do u have energy on paleo? Or is that why u have assault? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icecream Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 I only recently got back on the paleo wagon properly, but my energy has been sweet mostly.I have the assault because I usually train at 5am, so it's a decent kick at that time of the morning \:D/ probably a bit of placebo effect happening there too.And now I have it when I train at 11am, and on 'twosdays' when I've been raped by a wod and have to teach pump later.
