NEW
SUPPLEMENT DYNAMIC DUO CUTS CATABOLIC HORMONES AND PRODUCES PERFORMANCE BLASTOFF!
Kent Fischer - 13 Jan 2009
Serious bodybuilders are always looking for the latest Dr. Jekyll concoction, to give them
that elusive edge on their competitors. A recent study just found that two old reliables,
when synergistically combined, lead to real boosts in performance and recovery.
Caffeine is the most widely used behavior-influencing drink in the world. Laboratory and field experiments report increases in performance following
consumption of caffeine in doses from 3 to 6 kilogram of body weight. Since the
removal of caffeine from the World Anti-Doping Agency
list of prohibited substances, it has become the most popular ergogenic aid in
sports.
Carbohydrate supplementation is important for athletic recovery. Carb supplements replenish fuel, and when taken close to your workout,
reduces the level of stress/catabolic harmones in circulation. This will boost recovery
and strength gains. Epinephrine and cortical are two
catabolic hormones produced during intense exercise.
However blood concentrations of these two catabolic hormones
are greatly reduced, if a carb supplement is used close to the time of exercise. Carbs and caffeine have been
believed to benefit athletic performance, but until recently research hasn’t looked at combining the
two.
In the study referred to, scientists wanted to know what the
effect of caffeine would be with and without a carb supplement, on performance, but also immune and hormone
responses, after exercise. For this experiment 12 recreational male cyclists were
recruited to perform four workouts on the bike, after taking a 6 mg per kilogram dose of caffeine, or placebo, then
during exercise they consumed a 6% carb/ drink (glucose), or placebo drink.
These results showed caffeine boosted performance, but also
increased production of catabolic hormones and suppressed some aspects of immune function.
When athletes consumed a carb drink with the caffeine, this strategy
blocked the large increase in catabolic hormones usually seen after caffeine
supplementation. It also prevented
the decline in most characteristic makers of immune suppression. The
athletes felt they performed best when both carbs and coffee
were given to them.
WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU
Taking caffeine before a workout is great for boosting focus
and intensity, but also triggers high level of catabolic hormones after the workout. This impairs immune function,
muscle building mechanisms, and makes recovery difficult. High levels of catabolic hormones in the blood leaves the
athlete vulnerable to overtraining, poor results and illness.
When carbohydrate supplements are taken after caffeine, it
reduces catabolic hormones in the blood, which reduces exercise-induced immune
suppression. This boosts
recovery and has a synergestic
effect greater than the two taken by themselves.
Capitalize on this new information by taking one serving of
Dymetadine Xtreme (Ephedra Free) an hour or so before a workout. Supplement with one serving of Creatine HSC or
capsules combined with VP2 Whey Isolate mixed in ice-cold water just before and then immediately after the workout.
Dymetadrine Xtreme provides the essental pre-workout boost in concentration and
intensity.
Supplement-timing with Creatine HSC and VP2 Whey Isolate will maximize muscle anabolism and help reduce the level
of catabolic hormones in circulation.
