+ 2 The PressUltra Shake (TM pending)
This is something that I have wanted to share with everyone for a while now to REALLY help their training, but each time I have been happy with it I have tweaked the formula and changed something around then keep trialling it to see how its working and if it tastes better.
If you are like me and struggle to hit your daily protein intake because of poor appetite, or don't want to have to consume large amounts of shakes every single day or simply can't due to work commitments then this could be useful. I also created this as I have found now I am getting older (Boohoo) and just cannot slam trenbolone for weeks on end, and don't want to either that my healing is nowhere near as good as it was years ago. There seems to be a limit to how much you can run of virtually anything before BP rises become a hinderance and even taking meds doesn't really help the situation much anymore. As we know, any steroid that is quite effective always comes with BP/HR rises generally.
Healing muscle quickly has never really been a problem, its always those damn tendons and sinewy bits in and around the joints that seem to drag on for days - and ultimately if the connectors are not healed up then sufficient loading cannot be put through them to the muscle.
So I began messing around with BCAA's and Collagen peptides a while back together with Dextrose powder, which did actually help alongside another normal Whey Isolate shake during the day - problem was it tasted as nice as drinking some morning Tren urine so I was having to psyche myself up to drink this bugger each time which inevitably led me to discontinue it.
I tried the same thing, but this time substituted EAA's instead of BCAA's and this seemed to taste a little better, was still using Tropical flavour at this point. What I also noticed was my healing time improved considerably, particularly in the tendon areas. Still not enjoyable to consume though which it needs to be if you are to stick with it everyday.
I then changed the recipe to EAA's and something called PeptoPro which is Casein Hydrolysate (a rare sought after protein quite difficult to source as only one company manufacture it). Now this was starting to taste a lot better and was working well, but I knew my time on this was limited as PeptoPro is on sale one minute and then gone for 12 months whilst DMS manufacture another batch again - so I knew I had to find a substitute if I could.
I decide to change the EAA Flavour to Cola (which tastes great) and on a whim buy a bag of Unflavoured Whey Hydrolysate, add the Dextrose as usual and leave out the Collagen and only add it all to 100ml of Cold water. I then add in NAC powder and Vitamin C to add a Sour taste to the sweetness and it works great!!
Now the Secret to why this drink works & heals so well is because you are adding Essential Amino Acids alongside Whey Hydrolysate, when you add EAA's to Whey it effectively creates a much Greater Anabolic response than just consuming the Whey protein alone by itself. It also creates a lower suppression of whole body protein breakdown during and after training meaning you don't effectively go as catabolic. They tried it in a study with both low dose and high dose amounts of EAA alongside the Whey - which increased the anabolic response both 3 times and 6 times respectively!! It is all quite intricate in the way it works in the body, so here is a link to the Study that was done to prove how effective they both are when EAA's and Whey are taken together, pay particular attention to the graphs halfway through the article:

I would be really interested to see other members try this for themselves and see if they find it as effective as I do, with the volume being so minimal (this is the lowest amount of water you can get away with for it to still be pleasant to drink and not get too thick) you can consume a number of these during the day in between meals too. They are not Big, challenging shakes to consume throughout the day like normal 50g ones can be and you don't have to be hungry beforehand to use them. Effectively with the uprated anabolic response these things act like a 60 to 70g protein shake but without barely having to consume anything.

Have all those powders (differing flavours) sitting idly in a cupboard. Will give them a go.
