Cell Drive

I have been taking Cell-Drive for the past few weeks and I so far I am very impressed with it. I have been taking it immediately post workout mixed with Nectar Isolate, and I have found that the "Punch Rush" flavored Cell Drive and the "Strawberry Kiwi" flavored Nectar mix very well. I take it immediately post workout to refuel my body with fast digesting whey isolate and to get the creatine, BCAA's, and the glutamine needed to recover. I have found that taking Cell-Drive really helps to decrease muscle soreness.

I typically lift between 5 and 6 times per week, depending on how I am feeling. My lifting split is divided so that I have 2 days minimum rest before lifting a muscle group again, and very little related-muscle overlap (no triceps day after benching, or traps day after working back). I lift 3 days then rest 1 day, and if I need to take a day off to rest, I can do so at any point. While taking Cell-Drive, I have felt rested enough to lift for 6 days and not take any extra days off.

I have also been taking Cell-Drive during my workout. Initially, I started doing this in order to save money and not overlap similar products (I was debating taking Size-On or Synthesize during workout, but I found that Cell-Drive and Size-On contained fairly similar ingredients.) I wrote earlier about Ultimate Nutrition's "adreNOline" that I liked the effects but disliked the taste; I am a big fan of "during-workout" shakes, because they allow you to lift with greater intensity for greater time periods. I was taking Cell-Drive during my workout for these effects.

I am going to stop taking Cell-Drive during my workout for several reasons:
1. I think it is a great recovery shake, but it was not intended to be taking during workout. I am going to try out a few intra-workout shakes that were designed for that purpose. I would also like to have some sort of stimulant during workout, and Cell Drive does not contain that.
2. I have been going through the Cell-Drive incredibly quickly.
3. There is a 32g of sugar in Cell-Drive, which by itself is not a ton, but by having multiple servings of Cell-Drive and Size, I was getting more sugar than I need. A lot more. The sugar overload could have contributed to the "junk weight" I gained along with the muscle.
Nitro also has a sugar free version of Cell-Drive that I would be interested in trying out.

Cell-Drive is a VERY good recovery shake. It does a great job of replenishing the body and reducing muscle soreness. It combines all of the recovery components well... 3g of glutamine, 3.5g of creatine, 1000mg of BCAA's, and a little bit of arginine to pick you up after your workout. It is ideal for recovering from heavy lifting or from cardio.

I am going to continue incorporating Cell-Drive into my supplement regiment because I am very impressed with it.
