Training Nutrition, Perfected
I've used workout nutrition drinks for years. I've never seen one work like this, and I never want to train without it again.
When Biotest CEO Tim Patterson told me the new Surge Workout Fuel (Buy at Amazon) is the best workout formula he's ever made, I thought, "That's a big, bold claim that's a little hard to believe." But I've known Tim for 20 years; his word is gold. So, I was excited to learn more.
Tim said, "We've switched several of our athletes to the new Surge formula, and they're all seeing increased gains, faster recovery, and significantly greater work capacity. Each Surge serving contains 5 grams of L-leucine, 270% more than previous workout formulas, plus it provides two additional power ingredients: 2 grams of beta-alanine, and 1.5 grams of malic acid. We use calibrated electrolytes to engorge muscle with nutrient-dense fluids, stimulating maximum protein synthesis and fueling work capacity. The formula is loaded; there's nothing you could add to make it better."
Tim said he wanted me to be the next one to test it and then go public with my verdict, regardless of the outcome. So, I sent my diet coach a copy of the label to let him know I'm making the change. He immediately texted me, saying, "That's a perfect workout supplement."
Here Are My Test Results
I've used the new Surge (Buy at Amazon) formula for five workouts and can make the following observations:
- Lean Mass: I gained 2.5 lbs of lean body weight. I had to do some mental gymnastics because I'm still in a fat loss phase, and seeing my body weight go up was screwing with my mind even though I look and perform better.
- Fat Mass: Body fat is either unchanged or slightly lower. My gut feeling is that I'm a bit leaner because I see more deltoid separation, and the brachialis is beginning to appear, which is the last thing to show for me.
- Strength: My strength has increased significantly. I used more weight for the same number of reps or more reps with the same weight. But more interestingly, I hit or exceeded all my target reps on every set, which is far from my norm. Typically, I'd need to drop a couple reps on the later sets, but that didn't happen with Surge Workout Fuel. Increasing strength and performance like that is impressive.
- The Pump: I look freakishly pumped during and after the workout, like a completely different human being! And the pump lasts for a few hours instead of going flat like usual. I also look and "pinch" leaner as the workout progresses, likely due to pumping a lot more fluid inside the muscle.
- Work Capacity: I recover much faster between sets. My current training block uses 2.5-minute rest periods. Now, I'm ready to go in 1.5 minutes.
- Energy Levels: I feel much better and have noticeably more energy during my training session. I could add more exercises to my workouts, which is challenging to do at an advanced level.
- Warm-Up Time: I typically need two warm-up sets to get a good mind-muscle connection. Now I feel a solid contraction right from the start, so I've stopped doing warm-up sets (except for squats and bench). If I can get the same quality without wasting energy on warm-up sets, that's a win from the growth perspective.
Here's My Objective Assessment
Surge Workout Fuel demonstrably outperforms every workout nutrition formula I've ever used, and it should be evident to anyone who uses workout nutrition. It makes such an improvement in performance and gains I won't train without it - and neither should anyone serious about lifting or competing in sports.
Regardless of your fitness goals, I believe Surge Workout Fuel (Buy at Amazon) will get you there faster and take you farther. It's the perfect workout nutrition drink to use with my training plans.
Surge contains just about every performance and recovery booster you can name. Here's the breakdown:
- Malic Acid (1.5g)
- Leucine (5g)
- Highly Branched Cyclic Dextrin (25g)
- Citrulline Malate (6g)
- Beta-alanine (2g)
- Betaine Anhydrous (2.5g)
