Enhance Your Workout with Pathway Cleanfit BCAA

bcaa_1Branched-chain amino acids (or BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids: valine, leucine and isoleucine. Essential amino acids are amino acids that our bodies cannot produce from other materials, and so we must ingest them regularly. Good sources are lean meats, egg whites, and dairy products. Pathway Cleanfit™ BCAA powder is also an excellent source. This water-soluble formula of BCAAs, glutamine and B vitamins mixes easily into water for maximum absorption.

Pathway Cleanfit BCAA provides branched-chain amino acids that are essential to building and maintaining muscle tissue and have long been used by athletes and other active individuals to activate protein synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown caused by intense training or physical activity.

In addition to helping build muscle, BCAAs can be used by muscle cells as an indirect energy source during strenuous exercise without forming pain-causing lactate. Normally, when we perform strenuous exercise while burning other fuel sources such as fat or carbohydrate, a byproduct called lactate is produced. Lactate is the chemical responsible for your painful and stiff muscles the morning after a hard workout. Continue reading “Enhance Your Workout with Pathway Cleanfit BCAA”

Get the Most Out of Your Repetitions and Your Time

To get the most out of your time at the gym and make sure that your repetitions are effective, consider the following advice. If you are in good health, this is a great breathing technique that has long been used in martial arts and was labeled “Breath Strength” by Bruce Lee (Tsatsouline, 2004). Fill the stomach with a lot of air before starting the repetition and then hold that air in the stomach through at least ½ to ¾ of the concentric contraction (when the muscle is being shortened, such as the way up on a squat or the way down on a lat pull-down). This will keep the core tight for higher performance; keeping this region of the body contracted keeps the low back safe from injury.
