Maximise Your Training Progress With Intra Workout
Muscle Protein Synthesis Explained
MPS is simply the process of building muscle. The latest scientific research clearly shows that to maximise MPS, we need an acute exercise stimulus (resistance training) coupled with a targeted consumption of a protein source with specific requirements.
Why should you maximise MPS? Quite simply, to get the most ‘bang’ for your training buck! Training can be hard work and time-consuming, so why wouldn’t you be seeking to get the best results in the quickest time?
Some protein requirements to benefit MPS
When selecting a protein supplement to maximise MPS, scientific research confirms the following are specific requirements:
- The protein should be in a form that can be rapidly digested
- It should contain high proportions of Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) and adequate Leucine (700–3000 mg of Leucine)
- It needs to provide at least 20g of high-quality protein per serve
- It should be consumed post-exercise (immediately to 2-hours post) for the most robust increases in MPS
As always, Bulk Nutrients has a supplement that covers all these requirements and more!
Intra Workout to maximise MPS
To maximise MPS, Intra Workout is your best bet. Not only does Intra Workout meet all the key scientific requirements, it delivers these benefits in a refreshing non-milky taste that results in zero bloating or stomach discomfort.
Better still, Intra Workout mixes perfectly in water, but if you really want your mind blown, try mixing your Intra Workout in 400mL of sparkling water or soda water – an amazing soft drink like experience! Quite simply, Intra Workout is the whey of the future!
