Mike Brown- "The Vitargo Effect"

First off, let me start by saying, "If you have never heard of, or tried Vitargo S2 by Genr8.... what?? Do you live under a rock??  HaHa, but all jokes aside, Vitargo is definitely my favorite supplement, and should be your favorite as well!
I'm not one that uses a lot of supplements in my diet, frankly because I don't really believe many of them really do what they claim they do, so for me to not only use Vitargo, but stand behind it 100%.... you know it must be some good stuff! 
While most, if not all carbohydrate recovery products contain waxy maize, maltodextrin, and sugar, to name a few, Vitargo S2 is the first and ONLY super soluble form of the fastest recovery/re-fuel cabohydrate ever proven in university research studies. Some of the many benefits to using Vitargo S2 are as follows: 
It leaves the stomach 130% faster than maltodextrin+sugars, within 10 minutes of ingestion.  So basically, it is out of your stomach and absorbed into your muscles faster than any other carb supp on the market.  Vitargo also has 178% greater insulin than maltodextrin+sugars.  So what that means is, it turns off muscle protein breakdown, thus sparing muscle protein.  Vitargo also helps boost performance in your future workouts, as well as providing maximum endurance during your workouts.
To many, this may just seem like a bunch of "scientific mumbo jumbo" used to sell a product, so I will give you my own personal Vitargo experience.
As I said before, I dont take many supplements.  So, because of that, I am able to tell exactly how each supplement is reacting within my body.  I started using Vitargo approx. 1 year ago, when my Trainer/Nutritionist/mentor Kiyoshi Moody (3X Natural O Champ) turned me onto it.  I used it for a complete year, off season and precontest, and I thouroughly enjoyed it. 
I knew that it was working amazingly, but I had no real proof, other than me saying it is great.  So, in order to really show people how amazing this product is, I decided to rid myself of every supplement for a few months and then I would start taking my Vitargo once again, but this time I would document my results. 
So once March rolled around, I started taking Vitargo before and after each workout, and here we go....
Week 1:
From the first rep of the first set, til the last rep, the pumps I experienced were INSANE!. 
One of the best things about Vitargo is how quickly it leaves the stomach.  Everyother carb supp that I had taken prior to discovering Vitargo, always left me feeling bloated.  But Vitargo is different, I would take my 2 scoops 10-15 mins before my workout, and there was no bloating at all.  Not only were my pumps mind-blowing, but my endurance was noticeably increased.  It made me not only hit more reps, but it made me "want" to do more.  This only increased more and more with each day.  And after continuously having my 2 scoops after each workout, my recovery time was decreased as well.  So I was able to bounce back from each workout very quickly.
Week 2
This week, I really started to notice my strength gains in the gym.  Whether it was back, leg, or chest day, I found myself adding more and more weight.  Call me crazy, but I believe Vitargo has made me stronger!!  Actually, I take it back... Don't call me crazy, because it really has!!   For example, today was a "light" chest day, but when taking Vitargo, words like "light"& "easy" don't exist.  So below is an example of a few exercises on my "light" chest day.  (Keep in mind, this is only my second full week on Vitargo S2)

Exercise 1: Flat Bench (Barbell)

Set 1: 135 lbs-Warm Up-20 Reps
Set 2: 185 lbs-Warm Up-20 Reps

Working Sets
Set 3: 225 lbs-40 Reps
Set 4: 275 lbs-20 Reps
Set 5: 315 lbs-10 Reps
Set 6: 365 lbs-5 Reps
Set 7: 405 lbs-5 Reps
Set 8: 425 lbs-1 Rep
Set 9: 225 lbs-30 Reps
*This alone is more than anything I have ever attempted!!

Exercise 2-Incline Bench (Barbell)
Set 1: 225 lbs: 20 Reps
Set 2: 275 lbs: 15 Reps
Set 3: 315 lbs: 5 Reps

So as you can see, one thing that is very clear is, my strength has risen, but most importantly, my recovery time between each set is shortened, and my endurance/conditioning was greatly increased.  There is no way I would be able to do this workout rep for rep prior to me taking Vitargo.  Just Saying....

At this point, I believe the numbers speak for themselves!!
So if you needed proof that Vitargo S2 works, I believe I just gave it to you.

I encourage everyone who reads this blog, to go out and buy Vitargo S2.
