The Workout Drink That’s Better Than Plazma

The workout drink challenge

When Biotest CEO Tim Patterson told me about the new Surge® Training Fuel is better than Plazma, I thought, “That’s a big, bold claim that’s kind of hard to believe.” But I’ve known Tim for 20 years, and his word is gold to me. So I was excited to learn more.

Tim said, “It’s the best training formula I’ve ever created, and not only that, it’s 33% cheaper than Plazma. We’ve switched several of our athletes from Plazma to the new Surge® formula, and they’re all seeing increased gains.” , quicker recovery and significantly increased work capacity.”

Tim added, “Each serving of Surge® contains 5 grams of L-Leucine, 270% more than Plazma, plus it provides two additional power ingredients not found in Plazma: 2 grams of Beta-Alanine and 1.5 grams of Acid.” The formula is so loaded with science-backed ingredients that there’s nothing you can add to make it better.

“We use calibrated electrolytes to fill muscles with nutrient-dense fluids, stimulating maximal protein synthesis and fueling elite-level work capacity.

“And, Christian, I want you to be the next to try it. I consider you the most qualified to compare the formulas and evaluate which one works best. And I want you to make your verdict public, regardless of the result.”

Despite the enormous task and responsibility, I was excited to get my hands on the new Surge® formula. So I sent a copy of the label to my diet coach to let her know I’m making the switch. He immediately texted me, saying, “That’s a perfect workout supplement.”

Here are the results of my test

I have been using the new Surge® formula for five workouts and can make the following observations:

1. lean mass: I gained 2.5 pounds of lean body weight. I had to do some mental gymnastics because I’m still in a fat loss phase, and seeing my body weight go up was fucking my mind even though I look and perform better.
2. Body fat: Body fat does not change or is slightly lower. My intuition is that I’m a little thinner because I see more of the deltoid separation, and the brachialis is starting to show up, which is the last thing you see for me.
3. Strength: My strength has increased significantly. I used more weight for the same number of reps or more reps with the same weight. But more interestingly, I met or exceeded all of my target reps on every set, which is far from my norm. Usually you’d have to drop a couple of reps on the last few sets, but that didn’t happen with Surge® Workout Fuel. Increasing strength and performance like that is impressive.
4. The bomb: I look strangely animated during and after training, like a completely different human being! And the pump lasts a few hours, instead of running out like usual. I also look and “pinch” thinner as the workout progresses, probably due to much more fluid being pumped into the muscle.
5. Working capacity: I recover much faster between sets. My current training block uses 2.5 minute rest periods. Now, I’m ready to go in 1.5 minutes. Next week I am going to reduce the rest periods to see if I can maintain the performance metrics.
6. Energy levels: I feel much better and have noticeably more energy during my training session. I could add more exercises to my workouts, which is hard to do at an advanced level.
7. Heating time: I usually need 2 warm-up sets to get a good mind-muscle connection. Now I feel a strong contraction from the beginning, so I stopped doing warm-up sets (except squats and bench). If I can get the same quality without wasting energy on warm-up sets, that’s a win from a growth perspective.

sniper verdict

I am a long time user of Plazma so I think I am qualified to compare it to the new Surge® formula. Also, I know Tim Patterson wants my honest opinion, either way. So here is my objective assessment:

Surge® Training Fuel It demonstrably outperforms Plazma, and it should go without saying to anyone using both supplements. It improves performance and gains so much that I wouldn’t train without it, and no one should be serious about lifting weights or competing in sports.

Regardless of your fitness goals, I believe Surge® Training Fuel It will get you there faster and it will take you further. And it outperforms Plazma at 33% less cost.

I am also developing new training methods to take advantage of the surge effect. So sign up for T Nation Newsletters for update notifications.
