INTRA-MD PRE ORDER



FREE SHAKER TO FIRST 24 PRE ORDERS FREE EXTRA SAMPLES TO ALL PRE ORDERSFREE T-SHIRT TO EVERYONE THAT PRE ORDERS 3 OR MORE!


You have been waiting for this products for months and months and its finally in production and on it's way here.

- No longer will you have to struggle to dry your hair after shoulders.
- No longer will you have to struggle to sit down after leg day.
- No longer will you have to have a bad workout because you trained the day before.

Bodybuilders have been looking for a better way to recover. Some experts advise training less, while others implement periodical de-loading phases, and then some just keep pounding away by upping the dose or increasing the calories to absurd levels. Many of us have tried one or more of those methods because we want progress regardless of how big or how small.If taken as directed, it isn’t a question of whether or not you will gain muscle; the only question is how much and how fast you will put it on.

Bodybuilding’s most well-respected coach John Meadows has teamed up with PrimeNutrition to help create the most anticipated supplement to hit the market since the introduction of creatine by Bill Phillips in 1993. Take your workouts beyond comprehension with Intra-MD, handcrafted from the brain of the Mountain Dog himself we’ve seen other peri-workout formulas before, but never have the ingredients been individually selected with the highest level of integrity for quality and proper dosing than by the man who unlocked the Holy Grail behind intra-workout nutrition. That’s right, it has been over 20 YEARS since the sports world has seen a non-hormonal product that can produce real performance enhancing results. There are no false promises with Intra-MD-- the science is 100% ironclad.



For years and years everyone focused on post workout or pre workout or both. Both are needed for optimum success but when was the last time you heard someone say Intra workout was so important compared to post workout? How could have all missed it for so long? The Mountain Dog has spent years developing the perfect recipe for success and has found a blend of products that work and help you progress in every session. Day in and day out.


EAA'S

EAA'S are Essential because they have to be gained from your diet. EAAs are critical to recover from, and ultimately grow from the most intense workouts. Among the BCAAs is the amino acid leucine, a key activator or mTOR and master-controller for muscle protein synthesis. It is leucine uptake into muscle cells that flips the switch for protein synthesis and muscle building to ON (1-3). In addition to serving as raw materials to crank out new proteins for muscle growth and repair, EAAs increase amino acid transporter levels in cell membranes, (4) providing a potent anabolic punch.


BRANCH CYCLIC DEXTRIN
The problem: simple carbs. Spiking insulin with simple carbs is old technology. Although dextrose/simple carbs look good on paper, the human body is a finely tuned machine. Nutrient density is sensed in the small intestine by special types of receptors called “osmoreceptors”, which sense the concentration of stomach contents as they exit the stomach, controlling the rate of gastric emptying. This is precisely the problem with dextrose and other simple sugars: In spite of warp-speed absorption in the small intestine, simple sugars have an extremely high osmolality, triggering osmoreceptors to slow gastric emptying into the small intestine, where carbs are actually absorbed. Worse, in the context of a peri-workout nutrition shake, you aren’t only delaying the delivery of carbs; amino acid delivery will also be delayed. Use too many of the wrong type of carbs, and you might as well be gnawing on a steak during your workout.
Fortunately, there is a way to “trick” the stomach into releasing large amounts of carbohydrate into the small intestine for rapid absorption. When glucose molecules are linked together to form high molecular weight polymers, one molecule can consist of hundreds to thousands of individual glucose molecules linked together. These high molecular weight polymers have a much lower osmolality in solution tricking those pesky osmoreceptors to allow these branched cyclic dextrins to exit the stomach at warp-speed for absorption in the small intestine. This provides a rapid, but sustained increase in blood sugar and insulin to fuel the most grueling workouts (5, 6).
ELECTROLYTES
Ever notice that when you are really growing, your muscles are full and pumped all of the time? This is not a coincidence; a full muscle is an anabolic muscle and muscle growth is driven by cell volume. This is where electrolytes come in; by promoting cell volumization, electrolytes drive amino acid (leucine) uptake into the cell (7), turning on protein synthesis(8, 9) to pack on new muscle, while also suppressing protein breakdown (10, 11).
CITRULLINE MALATE
Citrulline Malate is a non-essential amino acid that converts into arginine and then into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a vasodilator that helps to improve blood flow to your organs, thus providing potential health benefit. It has also been shown to increase ATP production by 34%. Briand et al. There is also evidence via a study published in the May 2010 "Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research" that demonstrated a decrease in muscle soreness. Most notable studies have been conducted using 6 grams of CM as the dose, and we have included 2 grams per serving so that on your hard, very difficult workouts, you will be using this dose (3 servings), as those are the workouts where you will see the benefit from this supplement.

“This product will allow you to train harder and more frequently due to the increase in recovery you will see. Say good bye to soreness. Say hello to new muscle.”

You need more sleep

Sleep is a funny thing. You spend the first 12 years of your life trying to stay up as late as you can, then for the next 8 continue this way or give in and all you do is sleep.

Then after this most of us want to cherish sleep. We crave it. Thats why we hate cardio in the morning or even getting an early flight to go where we have always dreamed, because we know we feel better from more sleep. If you are an average sort of person (when it comes to sleep - not how shredded you are compared to the rest of population) you will spend 36% of your life sleeping, which means if you make it to 90 years of age you would have slept 32 years of your life. 32 years.

Lack of sleep can be detrimental to your health/motivation/relationships/recovery - both mental and physical and yet normally about 5 mornings a week we are awoken by an alarm sound ruining our sleep cycle/body clock.

Humans, Plants and Animals all have chemical clocks that are built around the environment, normally light and dark (day and night). For example it has been proven if you take a horseshoe crab out of it's environment and fly it thousands of miles away and put it in a float cage it will still move in harmony with the tide it came from all those thousands of miles away, it will do this for a sustained period of time.

I know what your thinking what does a crab have to do with my sleep?

If you take person and put them in a bunker underground, that person will go to sleep and will awake at the same time until starting to get up a little bit later each day (about 15 mins) which proves you have your own body clock and to work at optimum levels your body needs you to fulfil this day after day.

So what happens when you don't have enough sleep/enough quality sleep? Caffeine is used to wake us up (coffee in the morning normally) and sometimes alcohol (A sedative - not a sleep aid) to help us get to sleep. Which although is a short term fix is great but it does not solve anything in terms of making us work at our best.

So what happens when we do not have enough sleep?

- Higher stress levels
- Lack of cognitive recovery
- Lack of Physical recovery
- Less Motivation
- Less ability to learn a new task
- Reduced ability to recall stored information (Memory)
- Reduced Creativity
- Increased Impulsiveness

- In the 1950s people had on average 8 hours of sleep a night
- In 2013 people had on average just 6.5 hours of sleep
- But here is the staggering one. In 2013 it was common for people to have just 5 hours

In fact if you get less than 5 hours of sleep per night you have 50% chance of becoming obese and more than likely a much higher chance of weight gain which none of us want when it comes to being lean. This is because lack of sleep causes Ghrelin to rise which is the hunger hormone, Ghrelin causes the brain to crave carbohydrates but not any carbohydrates it particularly seeks out sugars (Not good if your prepping for a show).

The worst bit is we do not help ourselves in anyway, the optimum way to get sleep is to have the room as dark as you can for a good half an hour before you try to get to sleep. But what do we all do? Watch the news at 10, check the Muscle Rage Twitter, text loved ones goodnight, send late emails and of course brush our teeth with a very high wattage light bulb overhead. The next thing we need to do is make the room cool, which again is easier said than done due to the fact we all have the fire or central heating on through the winter and in the summer most of us do not have some form of air conditioning due to the lack of brilliant weather in this country - although this year has been brilliant.

Now sometimes a lack of sleep is needed or a lack of quality sleep is needed to get the job done whether thats getting up to go to business meeting or working through the night or getting an extra session of cardio or even a midnight meal in a few nights out from a show. We hear all the time 'don't go to sleep if you woke up broke' and that 'you have to be willing to give up sleep to succeed', which taking it in the context it's said makes a lot of sense and sometimes that has to be done.

However, looking at that from a well being/healthy/productive point of view doing that will probably actually make you worse at performing those tasks compared to having good 8 hours sleep. Because you wont be able to work as hard sleep deprived whether that is physical in the gym or mentally at work.

If you struggle to get that deep sleep we have shared in this article make sure you turn the lights off, have effective blinds/curtains/turn off your electronics and keep your bedroom cool. You can even take a scoop of Sleep/GH or 3 caps a Growth whilst your doing this to help you get that quality of sleep you rightfully deserve, need, crave and want.

We hope that you will mentally and physically benefit from this blog post.

EAA'S

What are EAA's?  EAA's are essential amino acids.

An amino acid is essential because the body cannot make it from other dietary components and if someone does not eat perfectly day in day out you simply wont have enough.

During exercise protein breakdown occurs however there is no rise of protein synthesis during this time meaning that muscle catabolism will occur i.e muscle breakdown will occur. Now you don't have to be a scientist to realise that muscle and breakdown are not two words you want to put together when you are training to smash your goals day in and day out. However, when supplementing with EAA'S you can help eliminate the post workout muscle breakdown there making your muscle recover better and faster than previously.

In EAA'S by Prime Nutrition it has a massive 5g of Leucine along with 1g Isonleucine and 1g Valine per scoop. Because of this you don't need to mix 2 or 3 scoops you just have to have the 1, if you want to use more thats up to you but 30 servings on the tub means 30 servings. It also contains 500mg Lysine, 500mg Methionin, 500mg Theronine and 250mg of Phenylalanine. Because of this it makes this the most complete Amino blend on the market.

To make EAA's even more appealing to you, Prime Nutrition have recently given the tub a revamp making it look as good as it tastes and works!

Supplements for YOUR Sport

We understand that not everyone wants to be massive or shredded or both for a number of reasons, the main one we see is because they compete in sport meaning that they might need to run x amount of metres in y amount of time and taking Metha Quad for 4 weeks and adding 15lbs whilst it would look great it would not be practical and possibly slow you down.

You are not the same as every body else so why train and take the same supplements as everybody else? A PGA Golf Professional would not train like a bodybuilder so why should they have the same supplements. Of course some supplements like creatine can be used across a wide variety of sports.

So to list a few supplements for a number of sports in brief about how they can help you performance...

RUGBY/American Football/Aussie Rules; 

- Creatine HCL (Prime Nutrition) - Help the efficiency of the ATP-PC Energy System, making you be able to create more energy to beat them to the ball or to hit them harder (tackle - don't hit anyone and get sent off)

- Beta Alanine (Prime Nutrition) - Help buffer Lactic Acid/Delays Muscle Fatigue thus giving you the ability to train and compete harder for longer. 

- Sleep/GH (Prime Nutrition) - Ever played back to back games, day after day or trained day after day. Mentally and physically draining isn't it? Let Sleep/GH help you recover quicker than ever both mentally and physically. Be game ready every day.

SPRINTING;

- Creatine HCL (Prime Nutrition) - Help the efficiency of the ATP-PC Energy System, making you be able to create more energy to beat them to the ball or to hit them harder (tackle - don't hit anyone and get sent off)

- Sleep/GH (Prime Nutrition) - Ever played back to back games, day after day or trained day after day. Mentally and physically draining isn't it? Let Sleep/GH help you recover quicker than ever both mentally and physically. Be game ready every day.

- Taurine (Prime Nutrition) - To give you a mental and athletic edge over all of your opponents by a very overlooked amino acid

BODYBUILDING; 

Our main focus on supplements has been bodybuilding/physique or just training to look really great so because of this all supplements on our site can help you achieve your goals.

But some basics are; EAA/HYPE/Eradicate and when looking to build serious mass many of you know the wonders the likes of Super DMZ 2.0 and Metha Quad Extreme can do. 

GOLF; 

Phytoform - If you train and play year round you know all to well that you can be perfectly fine up to hole 6 and the last 12 are cold and wet which isn't a problem but your weakened immune system is. You can stay strong and fight off bugs that are itching to knock you off your game. 

Taurine - To help you stay mentally focused and keep playing until the round is done.

SUPPLEMENTS THAT CAN BE USED BY EVERYONE; 

Phytoform - Ultimate fruits and greens powder 
APEX MALE - Most complete testosterone booster on the market
EAA'S - Help you repair the muscle tissue that you have broken down during training or the match
