Q:  I couldn’t be happier with my “Met-Con” workouts and the results I’m getting from training at such a high level of performance. The only problem is, my current supplement program just isn’t able to keep up – or should I say, “keep me up” and thoroughly amped to make it through as I challenge my body more and more.  What supplement can you recommend that can take me the distance?

A:  First off, I bet a lot of folks don’t know what you mean when you say “met-con.”  Short for metabolic conditioning, it’s often associated with CrossFit training methods and an athletes’ desire to attain maximum cardiovascular conditioning by using a series of functional exercises performed at high intensity.  What is being addressed is the glycolytic energy system – whereby one powers through a lactate threshold at a level of effort that they could sustain for about two minutes.  But instead of resting at the two-minute mark – as is customary with “maximum effort” workout methods used by bodybuilders – an athlete will just move to a new exercise when muscle fails, all while the cardiovascular system is still being taxed.

[Click here for an example of a “Met-Con” workout using a Kettlebell.]

This continuous movement, that is using more than one muscle group simultaneously, allows for metabolic conditioning at more intense levels than single exercise routines would allow.  Now that we got that out of the way, here’s what you need.  Because ATP the stuff in the storehouse of the body’s energy systems, you need a supplement that can capture every last bit of that on a continuous basis so that you can push through the sheer intensity of your workouts.  On those days when “met-con” is kicking your ass, you need a supplement like Tridenosen-H.

It’s synthetic ATP and about 10 times more powerful than creatine monohydrate – which provides the body with ATP and allows you to motor through more reps per workout than any other supplement out there.  If you’re looking for the flavor of the month, it’s not new. It is, however, time-tested and has been used by bodybuilders and other elite athletes for years for just what you want: to crush tough workouts that would normally see you crawling.  U.S. Special Forces has used it to get through extended periods of activity when nutrition and rest can be compromised.
