Your Session Starts Before the First Rep
Your session starts before the first rep. Five things happen in the minutes before the bar moves, and one of them takes ten seconds and a scoop.
Watch someone who trains well and you will notice it. The session does not start with the first rep. It starts when they walk in, and nothing about those first minutes is rushed.
By the time the bar moves, five things are done, in the same order every time. This is that list, with the Aminotaur Essential scoop in its place.
What happens before the first rep
What is in the shaker
It is the one item on the list you can read a label for. Five grams of L-leucine in a 5:1:1 BCAA ratio, 3.5 grams of EAAs, 1 gram of L-carnitine tartrate and an electrolyte blend. That is 11.5 grams of amino acids with zero sugar, in a drink that takes ten seconds to make.
| L-Leucine | 5,000 mg | The lead BCAA, in a 5:1:1 ratio |
| L-Isoleucine + L-Valine | 2,000 mg | 1,000 mg each |
| EAA Plus Blend | 3,500 mg | Lysine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine, arginine, glycine, histidine, tryptophan |
| Electro-Hydration Blend | 2,325 mg | L-Taurine 1,500 mg, magnesium, potassium, Himalayan salt, coconut water powder |
| L-Carnitine Tartrate | 1,000 mg | Metabolic Factor |
Zero sugar. No stimulants. 30 servings per tub. Full Supplement Facts on the product page.
30 servings per tub. Ten seconds to mix.
Do it the same way every time
None of the five is hard, and that is the idea. A pre-session routine is not about adding effort. It is about removing the loose ends, so that when the first rep arrives there is nothing left to sort out.
Four flavors keep the ritual from going stale: Orange Mango Guava, The Grape Escape, Fresh Squeezed Lemonade and Sour Apple. Same formula, so the list never changes.
"The grape is great flavor."

Before you decide
When should I mix it?
Whenever suits your setup: before you leave, or while you claim your spot at the gym. The label says one level scoop in water before and/or during training, sipped through the session.
Do I have to finish it before the first set?
No. It is built to be sipped through the session, not downed up front. Start in the warm-up and keep going set to set.
What is in the scoop besides leucine?
2,000 mg of isoleucine and valine, a 3,500 mg EAA blend, 1,000 mg of L-carnitine tartrate and a 2,325 mg Electro-Hydration blend. The BCAA, EAA and carnitine blends make 11.5 grams of amino acids.
Does it add time to my warm-up?
About ten seconds. One level scoop, water, shake. The rest of your pre-session routine stays exactly as it is.
Which flavor should I start with?
Orange Mango Guava is the one in the photo. The Grape Escape, Fresh Squeezed Lemonade and Sour Apple share the same formula.
