BPI has put together a pre- and post-workout combo to bust plateaus and keep you growing.

Some combinations just work better when their parts are taken together than they ever could individually, and you know it when you try them: Bacon and eggs, mac and cheese, cookies and milk. Now you can add another to the list: 1.M.R Vortex and Best BCAA, both from BPI. 1.M.R Vortex fuels your workouts when you take it beforehand. Best BCAA gets to work repairing muscle tissue damaged by resistance training as soon as you’re finished working out. Below, we break down these products and how they work together. You can get both in this featured stack at:muscleandfitness.com/stacks.

The Breakdown

BPI 1.M.R. Vortex

Taking a dose of 1.M.R Vortex will help you focus on each and every 
rep and get the most from your mind and body. The product contains ingredients that drive focus, energy, and strength. Specifically, yohimbe tells your body to release stored fat for fuel, deactivating alpha-2-receptors that hoard fat. Caffeine stimulates your nervous system and boosts strength. Niacin, a B vitamin, serves as
 a driver so these ingredients get to work immediately.

BPI Best BCAA

The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), leucine, isoleucine, and valine, bypass the liver, getting to your muscles faster than other sources of aminos or protein. The ratio of these aminos is also critical, based on research, and Best BCAA delivers 5 grams in the ideal 2:1:1 ratio. In addition, this product also contains a gram of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) to promote strength and fat loss, and agmatine, a decarboxylated form of arginine that may enhance insulin production, driving better results from workouts.

Stack It

Your pre- and post-workout products need to work synergistically, and that’s what 1.M.R. Vortex and Best BCAA do. For best results, take 1 scoop of 1.M.R Vortex with 6–8 ounces of water and consume about 15-30 minutes before you train. As you assess tolerance you can work up to two scoops. After workouts, take 1 scoop of Best BCAA blended into cold water immediately. You can take BCAAs at other times of day, too. Try adding as a half scoop to your pre-workout, and take it on non-training days to help stave off muscle breakdown.
