I'm going to try this stuff out. I've been getting calf cramps the last 30 minutes of 90 minute workouts, depending on the types of sets we're doing (it's worse on distance sets).
I saw a guy in my group chugging something after workout and he said he's less sore the next day if he drinks it.
I ordered the smallest containers available from amazon, just to try it out. One endurox and one accelerade. I'm sure there's a lot of clever marketing and mark-up on these products, but I'll give it a try.
enduox and accelerade are designed for 2 different purposes. accelerade is designed for long easy workouts. i wouldn't use it before or during intense workouts because the protien is tough to digest when you are going hard. it's also hard to digest in the heat.
endurox is a recovery beverage designed to have the "perfect" mix of protien and carbs for optimum recovery within 1/2 hr of a workout. chocolate milk has been found to do the very same thing and is much tastier :applaud:. but if you can't travel with your chocolate milk, a slimfast shake has a good combination of protien and carbs to be a good post recovery workout drink too. not as tasty as the chocolate milk but not horrible if it's cold.
for cramping, you can try taking a calcium/magnesum tablet every day and look at drinks such as cytomax, gu2o, and gatorade. they are lighter and easier to digest when you are going hard.
