Product Review: BodyTech Tech X Pre-Effect Pre-Workout from Vitaminshoppe

This is a winner. Especially when stacked with BodyTech Creatine & Glutamine with Beta-Alanine post-workout.

This pre-workout has everything you need to build muscle at a great price.

Creatine Monohydrate
Creatine is made from the three amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. It helps the body regenerate ATP allowing you to keep pushing up weight. Creatine supplementation also helps pull fluid into muscle. The fluid within muscle which expands the tissue and gives it fullness.

Betaine
- Is a key osmotic/cellular hydration ingredient
- Enhances muscle fullness
- Acts as an energy enzyme protector
- Induces the conversion of homocysteine to methionine
- Elevates glutathione levels
- Promotes liver health
- Helps you maintain intracellular electrolytes
- Enhances metabolism 

Leucine
L-Leucine is the MVP of muscle protein synthesis and in anabolic muscle tissue reactions. This makes leucine the most important amino acid for athletes.

Citrulline Malate
Citrulline is converted to arginine in the body. Taking citrulline increases nitric oxide levels better than taking arginine. Citrulline also removes ammonia from the body increasing endurance and delaying muscle fatigue.  Citrulline combined with Malic Acid provides more ATP for muscular energy and endurance.

Beet Root
Beets are natural nitric oxide donors. They are a vegetable that are naturally high in nitrates. The nitrate load in the juice of beets (itself a root vegetable) may significantly reduce blood pressure, hinting that beets can improve NO levels in the body.

Beta-Alanine
In the body, beta-alanine combines with another amino acid, histidine, to form carnosine. Muscles with higher levels of carnosine are more forceful and can provide superior strength, endurance leading to greater mass gains. Studies have shown that subjects taking beta-alanine with creatine gained more muscle and lost more fat than subjects taking just creatine..

#ACSM15 #GSSI Better absorption with “novel” creatine supplements? HOW? Monohydrate absorption near 100%! TOO MUCH #brosci

The Bedtime Snack Stack | You really don't want to be big.

You are probably waiting for an expensive stack that you don’t have to do anything but scoop it out and mix it up. Or you want a pill that contains 30 grams of protein. It doesn’t exist … either stop being a wimp or take up crocheting.

Here’s what’s preventing you from getting big. (Say to yourself in your most winey voice.)

“I don’t like the taste.”

“It’s too much to eat.”

“It feels funny. I don’t like the texture.”

“Is it all natural?”

“Does it have artificial colors or sweeteners?”

“Will my mommy tuck me in?”

 If you really want to be jacked none of this is a problem.  I once heard Leroy Colbert say “If I thought I could get bigger by drinking a bucket of bull piss, I would do it.”

That pretty much sums up the bodybuilder attitude.

Here’s what you do. It’s freaking cheap and yeah probably not the most pleasing looking but you will have another piece to the get big puzzle.

The Big Bedtime Anabolic Muscle Stack

1 cup cottage cheese

¼ to 1 cup pineapple (contains bromelain to digest the protein)

Add whatever you want or substitute whatever you want. Nuts, honey, sugar, chocolate syrup, caramel syrup.  Use your f#cking brain!

Why cottage cheese?

It’s 80% casein and 20% whey.

One cup contains:
