Had an excellent Back/Biceps session. Pushed myself past a lot of limits and really kept good form in the process. I will be coming to an end of the AFX/HV combo probably tomorrow. I have thoroughly enjoyed this stack and I truly appreciate the opportunity that Athletix has extended to me and others. These products are superior for pump, tunnel vision, and recovery. I’m used to a Pre-workout with more caffeine, but that did not phase me one bit during this run!

All loggers should have taken 1) before log: no pump shot and 2) After last dose/last workout fully pumped shot and compare! That woulda been awesome!

Thanks wasme! I've had a "killin it" mindset throughout this run

P.S. I will post that crusafix flys video for you asap. I didn't forget about it bro I gotta record a new one.. For some reason the last videos didn't turn out well. I will do an example video tomorrow.

Why thanks JD! I have to admit The HV/ AFX combo has played a key role in the wickedness

All loggers should have taken 1) before log: no pump shot and 2) After last dose/last workout fully pumped shot and compare! That woulda been awesome!

Well I can do part of that brother! Got my last session on the combo on Friday - what better photo than after chest/ arms

Final review:

Acute FX + High Volume by Athletix


PUMP: UNREAL – Best pumps I’ve had in a preworkout in a very long time. The content of agmatine and citrulline were not in some watered down proprietary blend.. there was an plentiful amount of each!

STRENGTH: Incredible. I noticed great increases in strength over the course of this run. I hit a few PR’s and noticed with the great pumps came additional reps! Also liked the usage of Plantago Major that was studied to increase capacity, and the fact that its not a commonly used ingredient.

STIM: I’m usually a fan of higher stim content in my preworkout supps. This product contains about 250mg if I’m not mistaken. I would have preferred more caffeine.

Overall, this is a top notch pre-workout. The ingredients are all high quality and highly desired, and they all synchronize well in the form of this pre-workout

I appreciate the opportunity that Athletix has extended to me and others to review their product. I hope this is useful to those considering the use of this product.
I will be definitely be keeping these in my preworkout arsenal!

Thanks again!

Looking great man! Hey I have an issue with my right knee patella, any exercises you find help strengthen it? I've tried a bunch and really can't make any improvements with my knee, seems to have just gotten worse over the last year.

This stack looks great where can i get it in europe ?

I believe Predator should be picking it up soon.

Well my pt has got me on kenisio tape. Its what alot of pro athletes wear. she has shown me a way to tape it to keep the patella on track. Basically I do all of the same leg exercises, but I focus on form very strictly instead of heavy weight goals and keeping my knees hip width or more. She also told me to avoid the leg extension machine - its a horrible exercise if you have patella tracking issues.

I will have to look into that Kenisio tape. Yeah I first hurt it doing leg extensions, brutal on the knee.
