This is a pre-made formula from the UK equivalent of True Protein. I priced up a Surge equivalent like MadMick has but it comes out at almost double the cost of this stuff.

Recovery xs - Our formulas | myprotein.co.uk

Bearing in mind, i have this straight away but then also eat a solid meal about one hour after too.

How necessary do you consider the hydrolized protein? Are there any studies to show it's x amount better than the usual blend of isolate/concentrate?

It's fine, but I would start drinking it during your warm-up and continue throughout your training vs. taking it PWO.

I'm STILL debating electrolytes from there


Considering I sweat like 2 litres of water minimum a session I thought it might be an idea


Not hijacking much, the list of ingrediants is;
1. Waxy Maize Starch: 50g
2. Whey Protein Isolate: 27g
3. Leucine: 5.5g
4. Glutamine: 4.5g
5. Creapure®: 3g
6. Vitamin C: 550mg
7. Electrolytes: 360mg

What exactly is your debate?

If they are necessary.

I was debating them ages ago but someone said you shouldn't need them if you have a decent diet.

Even at my fittest during the spring and summer (and autumn sometimes) I couldn't finish a heavy thai session full tilt. I used to lose something like 4-5 lbs in weight throughout a session though (including the litre I used to drink)

I'd include them if I was losing a lot of water. A solid diet goes a long way but there's nothing wrong with a little insurance.

500 mg?

I never paid to much attention to optimal quantities when it came to electrolytes. I use powders that contain electrolytes with my WO drinks and whatever is in them was good enough for me. I can tell you that in the book Nutrient Timing, they listed the following as a good bench mark...

Sodium - 100-250 IU
Potassium - 60-120mg
Magnesium - 60-120mg

I'll be reviewing this product for MyProtein in the coming weeks, but to keep it simple, it's a good product. There are a lot of carbs, which isn't necessarily bad for fighters on this site.

Consuming this pre-workout (ie weights) is ideal for growth and recovery, but I'd start with a half serving the first time.

It’s cool to see you posting here, Dave. What drew your attention to Sherdog?
