3XT-PUMP
Ticking off all of the boxes with the perfect pre-workout.
I need a high-impact pre-workout to maintain and add
lean mass gains. This product ticks off all of the boxes
when it comes to the functionality of a pre-workout.
Not only does it fuel you to perform at your peak, but
it also offers extreme muscle pumps and the fatigue
resistance measures to keep you going set after set.
This product also includes USN’s NITRO-X PROPRIETARY
BLEND, with call-out raw materials that are backed by
real research, including Citrulline Malate, Beta-Alanine,
Creatine HCL, AGMAPURE® and ADVANTRA-Z®. A high
level of caffeine (250mg per serving) has been added to
increase your mental focus and exercise performance.
Research also shows that carbohydrates taken prior
to and throughout training positively influence the
workout, and this is supported with the 20g of carbs
included in this formula. During strength training,
glycogen is pulled from storage to replace ATP, the
energy compound inside cells that powers muscular
contractions. The ATP is broken down in the cells
through a series of chemical reactions. The energy
released from this breakdown enables the muscle cells
to do their work. As you train the glycogen in your
muscles progressively decreases. You can deplete as
much as 26 percent of your muscle glycogen during
high-intensity strength training, making the use of 3XT-
PUMP invaluable to your winter gains! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
HARDCORE WHEY GH
Recovery is perhaps the most neglected component of progression.
Getting to your goal, without wavering from the
enhancement of your aesthetic appeal, means that
you HAVE to supplement with the products that meet
your needs perfectly. There is a lot going against you,
but with HARDCORE WHEY gH, you know the premium
post-workout growth formula is on your side, every
time, every serving. Progression is key. The point of
programme planning is to create overload to induce
muscle stress and damage. This process stimulates
post-workout muscle protein synthesis (MPS) during
recovery which leads to lean gains.
The measurement of quality in post-workout
supplements is in the perfect ratio of fast-digesting
proteins, in this case whey protein concentrate and isolate,
which work together to kickstart MPS. Slower digesting
proteins like milk protein isolate have also been added
to protect the integrity of your lean mass, something you
don’t want to compromise on. It also contains creatine
monohydrate to increase glycogen uptake and ATP levels
in the depleted muscle cell; Tribulus Terrestris, which has
a positive impact on strength levels; ZMA® to stabilise
anabolic hormone levels and aid recovery; glycine to
increase muscle cell volumisation, and pharmaceutical-
grade dextrose monohydrate to support the anabolic
hormone response to exercise, further fuelling growth
and recovery. With 78.6g of protein per 100g, you know
your post-workout recovery cycle is optimised with
HARDCORE WHEY gH. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
PHEDRA-CUT HYPERCORE
Get ripped, get lean and get ready for summer.
Getting leaner is not a simple process. Yes, there
are the basics of calorie restriction, early morning
cardio, resistance training, regular eating and
consistency, but the tools at our disposal need
to be used at the right time, and for the right
duration of time, to be successful. When it comes
to getting shredded, my go-to product is PHEDRA-
CUT HYPERCORE. It is the ultimate tool to keep
shedding weight and unwanted body fat. It’s a
high-strength thermogenic, stacked with ID-ALG,
a brown seaweed extract that cuts the effects of
alpha-amylase and lipase activity by 50%, making
sure that I get stage ready in no time at all. I stick to
the recommended serving size and product usage
cycle, which is 5-days on, 2-days off, while cycling
my carbohydrates around my two training sessions
a day so that I can improve my focus and output.
With this approach I know that at the WBFF Worlds
in Las Vegas in August I’ll be coming in the leanest
that I’ve ever been! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
