Fully Clinically Dosed Ingredients:

Citrulline Malate 2:1 (8g)1

  • Each dose in OUTLIFT has 8g of Citrulline Malate 2:1 allowing for intense, long lasting muscle pumps.
  • Research has shown that citrulline increases Nitric Oxide (N.O.) and blood arginine levels which can provide an elevation in protein synthesis (lean muscle growth), creatine synthesis, and a greater BCAA utilization by muscles during exercise.
  • Supplementing with citrulline malate has been shown to directly increase the number of repetitions, reduce fatigue and significantly decrease muscle soreness post excercise.

Carnosyn® Beta-Alanine (3.2g)2

  • Beta-alanine increases carnosine levels.
  • Research suggest daily supplementation of beta-alanine, supports more endurance and recovery
    from longer training sessions.
  • Beta-alanine delays muscle fatigue to help increase lean mass and enhance strength.

Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate (3g)3

  • Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate is clinically proven the purest creatine monohydrate available anywhere.
  • Research has shown that supplementing with creatine monohydrate supports improved muscle performance for muscle growth, strength and power.
  • Creapure® Creatine Monohydrate is produced using a patented process which guarantees purity, effectiveness and potency.

BCAAs4

L-Leucine (3g)

  • Leucine is the most important branch chain amino acid for stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
  • upplementing with 3g of Leucine provides the needed amount to promote maximal protein synthesis.
  • OUTLIFT provides the optimum 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine to Valine in a pre-workout product.

L-Isoleucine (1.5g)

  • Isoleucine is one of the essential amino acids that is known for its ability to increase endurance and assist in muscle repair and recovery.
  • Supplementing with 1.5g of Isoleucine provides the glucose, used as fuel, for your body to burn as energy.

L-Valine (1.5g)

  • Valine encourages muscle repair and tissue growth while providing an energy source in the muscles to preserve glucose.
  • Research has shown that Valine helps with maintaining the nitrogen balance in the body and is needed for muscle metabolism.

Taurine (2g)5

  • Taurine has shown to be effective for promoting endurance, increasing alertness and enhancing recovery.
  • Supplementing with Taurine has been shown to increase strength levels and decrease muscle soreness.

Caffeine (350mg)6

  • Caffeine is one of the most well-researched performance enhancement ingredients.
  • Supplementing with Caffeine immediately increases work volume and muscle strength, mental alertness and mood, assists in fat loss and helps you train at a higher intensity level.

N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (150mg)7

  • Research has shown this essential amino acid supports brain function including increasing mental focus and alertness, dopamine levels, mood and energy during exercise.
  • N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine is 20 times more water soluble and better absorbed to raise tyrosine levels in the body.

Bioperine® (5mg)8

  • Research has shown that BioPerine® enhances drug and nutrient absorption in the body which improves the effectiveness of key ingredients.

        under paragraph (1), the Attorney General shall take into 
        consideration any comments submitted by the Secretary in 
        response to a notice transmitted pursuant to this paragraph.

        anabolic steroids if such drug or other substance satisfies the 
        criteria for being considered an anabolic steroid under section 
        102(41). Such rulemaking may be commenced simultaneously with 
        the issuance of the temporary order issued under paragraph 
        (1).''.

Creatine Monohydrate 101- Marketing Myths Vs Research Science
Supplement Company Marketing MYTH - Creatine Monohydrate has poor stability According to many supplement companies, creatine monohydrate has poor stability in the stomach and rapidly converts to CREATININE (The break-down waste product of creatine). Their fictitious story goes on to state, that due to this "so called" high creatine to creatinine conversion rate in the stomach, little ever reaches the blood stream and ever get absorbed into your muscles to bring about it strength/muscle building benefits.

Research Science- Even from the very early research dating back to 1992, it has been well known that creatine monohydrate has exceptional stability. Researchers measured its stability and conversion rate to its break-down product creatinine at various pH (acidic) ranges to mimic the low pH (acidity) of our stomach acid. Here's what they found. Less than 1-2 percent is converted to creatinine, even after four hours of sitting in a low pH solution. Even after sitting in a low pH solution for THREE DAYS, only 4-20% of it converted to creatinine, depending on the pH of the solution it was tested in. The creatine you ingest, is obviously NEVER going to sit in your stomach for three days and even if it did, the SLOW conversion rate still leaves plenty of unconverted creatine to adequately elevate muscle creatine concentrations to bring about performance gains. As you can see this is a fictitious myth based on no real scientific evidence and should be of NO concern to anyone using creatine monohydrate.
Supplement Company Marketing MYTH - Creatine Monohydrate is absorbed poorly into the blood stream
Research Science- University research has repeatedly shown, that 98-99% of the creatine monohydarate you ingest, gets absorbed through the gastro intestinal tract(GI tract) and into the blood stream. END OF DISCUSSION.
THE REAL ABSORPTION ISSUE: Getting the creatine from the BLOOD stream into the MUSCLES, where we need it. Simply put, creatine pours into the blood stream due to its exceptional absorption through the GI tract. Unfortunately it gets bottlenecked when it gets to our muscles, which have a limited capacity to absorb it. What was the old school solution to this problem?
Ingesting large amounts of fast digesting simple sugars/carbohydrates that would greatly spike the hormone insulin. Insulin by up-regulating the creatine transporter would intern allow more creatine to enter into our muscles at an accelerated rate. This method certainly works and works well.
Unfortunately there are some real limitations and downsides to utilizing this method
1. Insulin is a powerful fat storing hormone and constantly spiking it with simple sugars is not exactly what physique athletes or bodybuilders wants when trying to stay lean and ripped.
2. Many physique athletes do not want the caloric load from ingesting such high amounts of simple sugars and would much rather get their sugar from complex/slow digestion carbohydrate sources.
3. Some individuals feel BLOATED, NAUSCIOUS and FATIGUED from ingesting all that simple sugar, every time they take their creatine supplement.
Simply put, it is just not optimal or realistic for many active individuals who take their DIETS, PHYSIQUES and HEALTH as serious as their TRAINING.
THE SOLUTION- Creatine RT™- THE EVOLUTION of Creatine Supplementation Forget loading up on mounds of sugar to enhance creatine absorption; we bring you the biggest breakthrough in the science of creatine supplementation since creatine itself. Russian Tarragon ExtractA recent study, showed the EXACT Russian Tarragon Extract used in Creatine RT combined with Creapure® creatine (both used in Creatine RT) could:
• Increase Creatine Absorption More Than 70 Grams of Sugar!
• Bring about 20% Greater Muscle Creatine Absorption Than Creatine Alone.

Holla back at ya boys and join the POG Army today!


Cuts-FTS Ingredient Break Down:

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid):
--A Potent Antioxidant

Green Tea Leaf Extract (std. min. 60% EGCG)
--Standardized for a high amount of the antioxidant Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), Green Tea is added for its overall health benefits and its potential to enhance fat loss.

Guarana Seed Extract (std. min. 22% Caffeine)
--Caffeine is a potent stimulant that has plenty of data demonstrating its ability to help enhance fat loss and increase performance.

L-Theanine
-- L-theanine's ability to calm the nervous system may help weight loss by preventing anxiety and stress, thereby reducing the likelihood of emotional overeating. Alongside the Green Tea in Cuts FTS, L-theanine with the catechins in green tea, may increase thermogenesis and decrease triglyceride levels, which may promote fat oxidation.

7-Keto-DHEA
7-keto DHEA is a metabolite of the adrenal hormone dehydroepiandrosteronen (DHEA). 3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone, or 7-keto, is a naturally occurring byproduct of DHEA that is produced in the adrenal glands, brain and skin. 7-keto DHEA may enhance immune function, decrease muscle loss, decrease stress, increase metabolic rate and accelerate weight loss in healthy adults.

Higenamine HCL
--Promotes fat loss by helping to release fatty acids and is a potent stimulant!

Black Pepper Extract (std. min. 98% piperine) (fruit)
-- Bioperine is a patented product from Sabinsa Corporation, U.S. Patents No. 5,536,506; 5,744,161; 5,972,382; 6,054,585.
Based on clinical data, having Bioperine in the digestive system with supplemented nutrients results in enhanced absorption. Studies show that when Bioperine is taken with other nutrients, it significantly increases the absorption of those nutrients. On its own, it may enhance the body's natural thermogenic activity and assist the digestive system with supplemented nutrients, resulting in enhanced absorption

Yohimbine HCl:

Yohimbine is an alpha2 receptor antagonist and known to help LOSE FAT from PROBLEM AREAS like hips and thighs for women and lower back and love handles in men. This is VERY IMPORTANT as this is the variable we play with….
Yomhimbine blocks the alpha2 receptor, the receptor responsible for stubborn fat areas, from being activated. By blocking the alpha2 receptor with Yohimbine, the negative feedback caused by NE binding to the alpha receptors is reduced and fatty acid from those stubborn areas are released and now able to be burned. Yohimbine has been shown to increase fat loss by increasing the amount of lipid mobilization and oxidation and blood flow to adipose tissue due to alpha2 antagonism. So Yohimbine addresses two of the fat burning principles we are trying to address: alpha2 receptor action and blood flow.

MuscleMeds Secret Sauce 2lb BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin)

http://www.tigerfitness.com/MuscleMeds-Secret-Sauce-p/5680036m.htm&Click=61298
 
This once classified formula revolutionizes post-workout nutrition and recovery. Not only does SECRET SAUCE replenish your muscles with essential nutrients, amino acids and glycogen that have been stripped from your muscle tissue due to intense training, it also creates an anabolic environment that leads to greater muscle recovery and increased muscle mass .
 
SECRET SAUCE is the world’s first BIOACTIVE POST-WORKOUT FORMULA enhanced with pharmaceutical quality BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) for potent anabolic action and fast recovery. BSA is a scientifically documented bioactive protein derived from bovine blood plasma. Research shows that BSA can rapidly speed up the revitalization of muscle tissue, thus helping to build bigger and stronger muscles.

While BSA is the central core to SECRET SAUCE’s anabolic action, this unique and advanced post-workout formula contains many other powerful clinically researched ingredients. During the development process of SECRET SAUCE, the scientists at MuscleMeds endeavored to formulate a product that not only stimulates protein synthesis, but also modulates the anabolic effects of insulin and replenishes muscle glycogen and ATP, which are critical for optimal post-workout supplementation. SECRET SAUCE doubles down with both naturally occurring leucine in BSA and an additional 5 gram leucine-loaded dose of BCAAs in an anabolic 10:1:1 ratio to trigger increased protein synthesis. To ensure peak ATP replenishment, SECRET SAUCE utilizes MuscleMeds Power-AMP Cre3 Creatine Complex consisting of creatine monohydrate, Creatine Magnapower® and creatine gluconate. Post-workout creatine uptake and ATP replenishment is enhanced by BSA’s plasma transport gradient, leading to increased cell volumizing, muscle size and recovery.
The next important step to complete post-workout supplementation is to optimize the anabolic activity of insulin and replenish glycogen. SECRET SAUCE has taken insulin spiking and glycogen replenishment to a new level with the inclusion of the insulinotropic amino acids glycine and phenylalanine, in combination with MuscleMeds proprietary iSPIKE Insulin-Release-Amplifying Reactive Carbohydrate System. These insulinotropic aminos work in tandem with the iSPIKE reactive carbohydrates and BSA plasma transport to activate a highly anabolic insulin surge and super fast muscle glycogen and ATP saturation. This dynamic trio also enhances the uptake of other key nutrients, peptides and growth factors in BSA to trigger the post-workout growth and repair of muscle tissue.

Experience the new generation of post-workout recovery. SECRET SAUCE combines real research and real ingredients to provide real results.

SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone: Periodization Techniques Revisited: Improved Stren...

SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone: Periodization Techniques Revisited: Improved Stren...: There is going to be a point in everyone's training career, when 100 push-ups a day alone are no longer going to "cut" it an...



Linear periodization no more?If you look at the study data it is obvious that undulatory training makes you stronger, allows for faster muscle growth and... well, that's not in the study, but once you try it you will realize it, it's much more fun, as well. So why bother with linear periodization any longer? Well, the reason should be obvious: This is a single study the result of which are

  • supported by Rhea et al. (2002), Monteiro et al. (2009), Prestes (2009), Miranda et al (2011)  and Simao (2012), but
  • refuted / questioned by Baker et al. (1994), Bufford et al. (2007) and Kok et al. (2009),
who report identical gains in strength and size in 22strength and power in experienced male athletes (Baker. 1994), 26 recreationally trained college-aged male and female (Bufford. 2007), and 20 untrained but fit women (20yr, normal weight) (Kok; 2009).

Personally, I like to dabble with both undulating, but also with intra-workout "periodization" a la "Dr. Squat" (see box to the right) while I hate, and I mean "hate" as in totally detest, these lame 4-week cylces of doing the same stuff every workout. The "I hate ..." argument may not sound as if it would hardly qualify as being "SuppVersity Approved", but it in fact is. I am the last person to suggest you drag yourself to the gym and do something you hate. That's not going to be productive, trust me - no matter what science says, by the way.
