As a football fan, I am now looking at that long stretch of time between the Super Bowl and next years training camp where I rearrange my life with additional cardio sessions, and extra trips to the gym to fill that void I now have on Sunday afternoons and Monday evenings. When I began writing this however, it was a Sunday afternoon in the heat of the Divisional Finals. Watching the game while contemplating this article, I realized a football stadium has the same issues our muscles do. For anyone who has seen a stadium after a major game, you know, the place is in shambles! Food wrappers, beer cans, posters and banners litter that stadium, and the cleanup crew has a big job ahead of them to get that stadium back to rights.

Our muscles are the same way. After the big "game" our muscles are in shambles, with all sorts of damage, and cellular "garbage" lying around. In the human body, it is our bloodstream that acts as the cleanup crew, removing all of that garbage, and bringing in various nutrients to repair any damage done to our muscles. Typically however, our body distributes the "cleanup crew" rather equally throughout our body, so the muscles you just blasted, are getting the same amount of repair efforts as the rest of the muscles in your body which have not seen a workout in two days. Now, if we could get a greater blood flow to those areas we are working out, this would increase endurance of the muscles being worked out, speed recovery, and supply more vital nutrients exactly when we need them most. Imagine the difference this could make in recovery and growth!

The Shortcomings of oral NO Products

Nitric Oxide is a key molecule produced by the body. It causes vasodialation. In layman's terms, it expands the diameter of the blood vessels. This allows for a higher rate of blood flow, which in turn gives your bloodstream greater oxygen transport, as well as a greater delivery of nutrients for repair and growth. The shortcomings of the typical oral NO product is that it gives this effect over your entire body. So what we have done is make it easier for your bodies "cleaning crew" to get around, but there is still no particular focus on the muscles that need it most. So while oral consumption of nitric oxide products is beneficial, it is not the best way to use this supplement.

Enter Transdermal Delivery

Transdermal literally means through the skin. This technology has been used medical professionals for years to deliver things like birth control, testosterone replacement and there is even talk of a transdermal insulin for diabetics (and diabetic weightlifters). By using a transdermal carrier, these compounds are drawn in through the skin, and absorbed into the local tissue and bloodstream. Transdermal delivery of nitric oxide products is not new. Diabetics have been using it for some time now. With diabetes, a major concern is circulation in extremities, like the feet. Various products have been tried to increase blood flow to those extremities, because in a diabetic, lack of blood flow to feet will result in amputation of toes! Fortunately, for us bodybuilders, amputation is not something we typically have to worry about. However, we do have the same goal, to increase circulation in a particular area. In diabetics, the concern is their feet or other extremities. In bodybuilders, it is the muscles we are working out that day.

If we look at the results of studies done on diabetics, we can see that indeed, transdermal nitric oxide is exactly what we are looking for to accomplish our goals. In diabetics a double-blind study was performed on 13 subjects to determine if using transdermal L-arginine would increase blood flow and circulation in extremities. The results were spectacular, with average blood flow increased 33% at the metatarsus (portion of the foot between the instep and the toes), and 35% at the Achilles tendon, and average temperature increased 5 degrees Fahrenheit at the metatarsus and 8 degrees Fahrenheit at the great toe. So what we are seeing is a 33% to 35% increase in circulation at the area the transdermal was applied to! Imagine how much more quickly you can repair and rebuild your muscles with an increase like that! With NO-Infuse by Legalgear, now you can.

NO-Infuse is a powerful combination of NO potentiators, as well as other vial compounds that is designed to increase muscular endurance, speed recovery, and provide vital nutrients to the specific muscles you are working that day. When applied pre-workout, NO Infuse goes to work, increasing the blood flow to that area, and raising the temperature of the local area. This means that when you work out, waste products such as lactic acid and others are being removed at a faster rate, allowing you to workout harder, and push your muscles further than ever before! If you think you have seen pumps, trust me my friend, you have seen nothing yet. This is a product you can see working. Forget all about swallowing a few pills and hoping they are doing something. With NO-Infuse, within 15 minutes of applying, you will SEE huge increases in vascularity, and once you start moving the weights, look out! One testers feedback went as far as to call them "shirt busting pumps"!

Post workout, again apply NO-Infuse, and let the repair begin! Remember, we are increasing blood flow to the area by 32% to 35% so we are now getting our "cleanup crew" right to the areas we need them most. Your hungry muscles no longer have to wait in line for repair; we have opened a 10-lane speedway right to them! Recovery is maximized, as is growth. While oral NO products were a solid first attempt; it is time to take your supplementation to the next level. Deliver endurance and recovery to the areas you need it most, with NO-Infuse, the next generation in nitric oxide supplementation!
