Thanks to the good people at Gatorade I was able to attend the 2010 Pro Bowl and I enjoyed myself immensely. (I’ll tell you about that later.) In addition to attending the Pro Bowl, bloggers from around the nation traveled to South Florida to test at the Gatorade Performance Lab using the new G Series. The testing illustrates how the body works during exercise and demonstrates the science behind the development of the G Series.
The G Series marks a major step in evolution of Gatorade from a sports drink company to a sports performance innovator. On Super Sunday NFL players will utilize Prime 01 – which provides a burst of pregame fuel to help them perform at their best. During the game they’ll drink Gatorade Perform 02, which helps keeps them hydrated and fuel working to muscles to help them push through. After the game, the players will drink Recover 03, the first protein beverage formulated with the consistency of a thirst quencher to provide hydration and muscle recovery benefits after exercise. Lucky me, I was able to sample them all.
I spared the video of me working out but here’s photographic evidence that I actually did participate. :-0) IMO Gatorade’s new G Series is a hit. I rode the stationary bike for 20 minutes and around the 5 minute mark, I could feel a burst of energy, thanks to Prime 01. Because of the mouth piece I wasn’t able to sip Perform 02 – but it was waiting for me. I prefer Fruit Punch, extra cold and it was.
The nicest surprise was Recover 03. If you’ve ever drank protein in shakes, smoothies, etc. you know it’s not very tasty. I selected the ‘mixed berry” flavor and it was good. It was sweet, flavorful, which was very helpful in disguising the protein, much to my delight. Gatorade Recover 03 has 16 grams of protein, 14 grams of carbs and a mere 130 calories.
After the testing was complete, I sat down with the scientist to go over my results. My body fat is high (thighs, hip and butt) and I need to lift weights to build my muscles because they burn the most fat. Oh yeah, and stay hydrated.
The new G Series receives the PLL’s stamp of approval. I encourage you try it when it hits the stores in April 2010.
See if the cards are falling for you, play

PRIME= thick liquid melted down jello taste, basically it was like chugging down semen.
PERFORM= was good tasted like regular gatorade
RECOVER= taste like sour ass.

Muscles do not burn fat. I am 23 and so far the Recover 03 tastes nasty. Good article.

Recover is the sickest shit since shit was discovered, fuck that… I’ll just eat a god damn protein bar, PowerBar has a good brownie one, at least it doesn’t taste like ass and it has something that promotes muscle development.

I work out A LOT, so I eat and drink A LOT… I love nearly everything I consume (I am not picky) and I haven’t ever found anything that I felt compelled to throw-up after ingesting. I was dying of thirst, began chugging down the ice cold bottle and found myself gagging – I couldn’t even swallow the shit! I would rather take a cup, run to the toilet after someone I have never met has thrown up everything in his stomach and swallow that than to drink Gatorade Recovery G!
