Default Ultimate Nutrition: Horsepower Log

This exciting new formula combines a stack of twenty essential ingredients that work synergistically to increase strength, stamina, recovery and blood-flow-vasodilatation. Horse Power acts to increase Nitric Oxide production in the body for remarkable benefits. Nitric Oxide creates an anabolic environment in your body by increasing blood flow to working muscles to promote muscle growth, dilation of blood vessels, increased strength, and faster muscle recovery. Dilation of the blood vessels helps to increase blood flow to your muscles, bringing with it much-needed nutrients, oxygen and hormones.

Athletes will see:

* Amazing long-lasting pumps
* Increased strength and power output
* Improved nutrient transport
* Enhanced oxygen delivery
* Better glucose uptake
* Greater endurance
* Faster recovery

Ultimate Nutrition's Horse Power contains twenty highly-anabolic cell-volumizing ingredients including 3 types of Creatine, 3 types of Arginine, Betaine HCL, Taurine, and N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine. They work in combination with a potent blend of Beta-Alanine, Glycerol Monostearate, MCT's, Citrulline Ethyl Ester Malate, L-Norvaline, Guanidinopropionic Acid, Gynostemma Pentaphyllum, Ornithine Alpha Ketoglutarate, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, Rutaecarpine, and Glycocyamine. The Kre-Alkalyn / Creatine Ethyl Ester / Tricreatine Malate stack provides an enormously soluble creatine that provides superior bioavailability over regular creatine monohydrate. By combining these three powerful creatines, it creates the ability for creatine to be fully absorbed into the bloodstream; where it is transported to muscle tissue and absorbed inside muscle cells with the highest efficiency. In addition, because Tricreatine Malate is bound to malic acid, it offers greater ATP production.

Horse Power includes Arginine Alpha Ketoglutarate (AAKG), Arginine Ethyl Ester Dihydrochloride and Arginine Ketoisocaproate that radically boosts Nitric Oxide levels which increases blood flow and provides a constant supply of anabolic nutrients to the muscles far beyond regular L-arginine. In addition, they drastically increase and prolong the production and level of nitric oxide in the body considerably without interfering with the absorption of creatine. Horse Power also includes amino acids crucial to colossal gains. Citrulline Ethyl Ester Malate stimulates energy, boosts the immune system, is metabolized to form L-arginine and as a result regulates Nitric Oxide production, and detoxifies ammonia, which damages living cells. Beta-Alanine directly influences muscle strength by buffering acid build-up in the muscle, which can help prevent muscle loss commonly resulting from acidosis. It also aids in the volumization effect of creatine, meaning fuller muscles. Taurine improves exercise performance and electrical and contractile properties of skeletal muscle. It expands muscle cells, boosting hydration and resulting in a higher rate of protein synthesis.

Horse Power includes the most potent, most stable, and most bioavailable forms of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA) and Glutamine available. R-ALA is the form of Alpha Lipoic Acid that is found naturally occurring within the body and is the most biologically active form of ALA. It has been scientifically shown to be far more effective than S-ALA, the artificial, synthetic byproduct created during the production of ALA. N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine (NAG) is a highly stable and bioavailable form of the highly abundant amino acid, L-Glutamine. It is among the quickest and most efficiently absorbed glutamines, and results in greater recovery, cell-volumization, growth hormone release, protein synthesis, immune function, and anti-catabolic effects.

Glycocyamine, the immediate precursor of creatine, not only assists by escalating the bodies own natural production of creatine, but also elevates creatine phosphate storage inside the skeletal muscle, to build bigger, fuller muscles. Glycocyamine, like R-ALA, is a potent insulin-mimicking-agent, with the ability to cause more creatine phosphate storage in skeletal muscles without the use of a "sugar spike".

When you look at this formula as a whole, you'll see why Ultimate Nutrition’s Horse Power is receiving rave reviews from our customers. Horse Power drastically increases glycogen storage, Creatine, ATP production and nitrogen retention. The end result is an astonishing increase in muscle fullness, athletic performance, and lean body mass. With twenty ingredients acting to enhance nitric oxide production, you too will rave about the enormous pumps you can achieve from using Horse Power.

~Supplements I will be using during the usage of Horsepower:
- ON 100% Whey Protein
- Waxy Maize Starch
- Lipo 6x
- Multivitamins
(No additional creatine since there is 4.1g per serving)

To me this supplement doesn't seem to be under measured. Just mainly an BCAA/creatine boost.

Now it sells for about $30 for a container and I estimate it will last around a month using a 1 scoop pre-workout and 1 scoop post-workout.

Day One:

Now I decided to slam everything down 30-45 minutes before my workout.

This consisted of:

2 scoops whey protein (Cookies & Cream)
1 scoop waxy maize starch (Grape)
1 scoop Horsepower (Fruit Punch)
2 Lipo 6x capsules

Honestly the taste I could care less as long as I get my nutrients. As you can see I got a whole shit load of flavors going on. Taste like battery acid if you ask me.

First time I opened my container of Horsepower It was really clumped together, almost like compacted dry dirt. With some help of a scooper it was all good to go. I'm too sure how it mixes well in a shaker, but in a blender it mixes really well!

Workout: (First week of Intensity Phase)

A2G Squats: 1x3 - 320lbs
Close Grip Bench: 3x3 - 285lbs
T-bar Rows: 1x3 - 290lbs
Skullcrushers: 3x8 - 160lbs (Hammer Curl bar)
Weighted Abs: 3x10 - 25lbs

Summary:

At First I didn't notice much from the Horsepower although the Lipo 6x had my energy up. Squats felt heavy (feeling burnt out from them). Once i hit bench I felt something kick in and busted out 3 sets of 3 of 285 which felt pretty good. Now my 5x5 was 270 for those, but i feel i can up the weight some. T-bar Rows felt amazing using Im tired after I do some warm-ups with those, but i kept on going.

Had great energy from the beginning of bench till the end of my workout. Even after I feel like I could do another hour of weight lifting. Also had a great pump throughout my workout after each exercise and after my workout.

Seems like once you get the blood pumping it takes in effect, but thats just my opinion. Next workout ill post on Monday.
