I just ordered purple wraath from bb.com. I am excited to give it a try and compare it to Xtend, which I have used for a few years. My contest coach had me using Xtend in the following protocol, 1 scoop between meals and 2 scoops before and after workouts. I plan to use this same protocol with PW. Is this a good protocol to use with PW? I ask because I know Xtend is just BCAA's and glutamine.

The main reason I made the switch is the fact that PW contains beta alanine where xtend does not. I use beta alanine at various times throughout the day for endurance and recovery. Having it in a drink I sip throughout the day just made sense and cut out a bottle of pills. I sip my BCAA supplements throughout the day based on research conducted by my coach, Layne Norton. He id an IFPA pro and has his Phd in Amino Acid metabolism. He suggest using small amounts of aminos (1 scoop) in between meals has a greater effect on recovery than large doses twice a day and keeps nitrogen balance positive. I have been doing this for 2 years now and recover much faster from workouts. I do however take the 2-3 scoop dosage pre and post workout as well or anytime I may be doing fasted cardio. During training I use purple in train.If you have to tell people how good you are, you probably arent that good.

I've also made the switch from Xtend to PW. Although I've only used 1 tub of Xtend (which is a very good product) I too wanted the added beta-alanine, and the BCAA/EAA mix has me interested.
Like lnc0911, I have BCAA between meals. Though I usually just add 4 scoops to a 2Ltr (70 oz) bottle of water and drink it throughout the day between meals. This kind of usage is making me consider also buying another tub of Xtend, as it is cheaper. So I can have Purple Wraath before, during and after my workout, but have Xtend for the rest of the day. Purple Wraath is just so much more expensive and I'm on such a tight budget that I just can't stretch to it.
I live in the UK, and the cheapest place I could find Purple Wraath was from Bodybuilding.com which cost me $33.99 + $22.59 delivery to the UK (I also bought some White Flood, a Controlled Labs T-Shirt and a Green MAGnitude sample). A couple of questions regarding that actually. How come Bodybuilding.com has such lower prices for your products than on your own site? The same 45 serving tub of Purple Wraath costs $67.99 compared to $33.99, I would have thought it would have been even cheaper to buy directly from you? Also on your retailers page you display discount-supplements.co.uk as a seller, but they have been out of stock for ages (not to mention they only seem to supply two products anyway). Maybe give them a bit of a nudge to stock more of your things?
So, at the end of the day, I suppose I'm going to have to buy both Purple Wraath and Xtend.
On the other-hand, I can't wait to start rocking the gym with my new, blue, Controlled Labs T-Shirt! Once it arrives I plan on doing some sort of log (sometime next week hopefully).Brute force without wisdom falls by its own weight.

You may want to check the Swedish supplier as their price for Purple Wraath is a bit cheaper than in UK: http://www.fitnesstukku.fi/5/sv/varu...ontrolled-labs
let me know if you have any questions about thishere, near to the polar circle, heading towards the long & cold winter ....but I got my CL stack: OT, BG, PW, OX

High prices in Europe is something we just need to accept. I had bad experience with www.discount-supplements.co.uk, so I don't buy anymore from them.

But you are right, in the long term, it will make more sense to buy from UK distributers.
I checked out that Swedish site, interesting. Though totally un-readable! :P (for someone who doesn't understand Swedish anyhow).
I must say I'm surprised by your bad experience with discount-supplements.co.uk, they are my prefared place to shop these days (alongside www.myprotein.com). What went wrong for you? I've always had great service from them.Brute force without wisdom falls by its own weight.

Seeing as the prices are actually quite good $33.99 (£21) for a 45 serving tub and I got also came across a White Flood offer on Bodybuilding.com which had the 50 serving tub $10 off, so I got it for $17.99 (£11). Not to mention that I wanted a CL T-shirt, which are nigh-on impossible to find over here.

Did you pay any import duties from your order at BB.com?Last edited by sergibob; 02-02-2011, 04:28 AM.here, near to the polar circle, heading towards the long & cold winter ....but I got my CL stack: OT, BG, PW, OX

Originally posted by sergibob View PostIt took over 30 days for them to ship my products even though there were in stock, saying yes we have shiped when they did not.

I have no idea if I have to pay import duties yet, it was only dispatched last Sunday, I expect it to arrive sometime next week. I'm not expecting import duties, so I really hope not.Last edited by JackM; 02-02-2011, 08:06 AM.Brute force without wisdom falls by its own weight.
