hoopem6 goes beyond Thunderdome, and Mad MAXIMIZES his workouts with iForce (Spon.)

[hoopem6]

Greetings fellow AMigos,

iForce Nutrition has been gracious enough to grant me the opportunity to log their newly reformulated pre-workout, Maximize V2.

My workout schedule usually consists of a four day split (i.e. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday). But because of the holiday this past weekend, this week's schedule will be: Today (Tuesday), Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday.

I will be updating this log four times per week to document my experiences, and note any additional effects.

-----

Initial review (before-workout):

Mixability - 10/10 - Mixed completely. Every last particle dissolved after ~30 seconds of vigorous shaking. Even after I had finished the serving (1 scoop) there wasn't any residual particles left at the bottom of my shaker cup.

Taste - 7/10 - Reminds me of a slightly tart, semi-bitter tasting, raspberry lemonade flavor. While it's not the best tasting pre-workout I've ever had, it's still somewhat enjoyable.

Energy - TBD

Endurance - TBD

*TBD = To Be Determined

Once I complete today's workout I will be back to update the "Energy", and "Endurance" aspects of my initial review (including any additional observations).

Reserved for my final review.

Initial review (after-workout):

Energy - 8/10 - I can definitely appreciate a slight energy boost pre-workout. Maximize V2, on the other hand, hits the ground running with the inclusion of their updated "Cognitive Blitz Matrix" (which is comprised of Tyrosine, Caffeine, 1,3-Dimethylpentylamine, and Methyl Synephrine). I have to admit, within ~15 minutes of taking my first dose, I felt a little cracked out/jittery. However, after the initial "jolt" of energy subsided, I experienced a very nice, smooth, energy for the remainder of my workout.

Endurance - 9/10 - As stated above, my workout was super-charged. There was absolutely no shortage of energy. Which in turn, led to increased endurance.

For example:

Today was primarily a chest/shoulder workout. I typically begin my routine with dumbbell presses (flat bench). I usually complete three sets as follows:

120's (240) x 12
120's (240) x 10
120's (240) x 8

After three sets of such high repetitions, I am usually pretty well spent and more than ready to move on to my next exercise. But...

Today, with the addition of Maximize V2, I completed four sets as follows:

120's (240) x 12
120's (240) x 10
120's (240) x 8
120's (240) x 6

The six additional repetitions felt very gratifying. Especially since I am not taking any additional supplementation at this point in time.

Ahh yes, it's like they say: imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

It's 11:50 PM EST, nearly nine hours after my initial dose, and I'm still feeling the effects of one scoop of Maximize V2. I consider myself to be relatively stimulant-tolerant, but I may have to resort to only a half scoop...

Workout 2, Day 2:

I'm headed to the gym earlier than normal this morning to complete a full back/lats workout. Again, when completed, I will update my experiences post-workout.

Additionally, I have decided to experiment with a lesser dosage, 1/2 scoop, to help mitigate the intense amount of energy I experienced yesterday.

[hoopem6]

I think I've found my sweet spot at ~1/2 scoop. Today's workout felt just as intense as yesterdays, minus the "jolt" of energy I had initially experienced.

The endurance aspect of Maximize V2 also continues to thrive. I noticed the resting time between each set of seated cable rows was steadily decreasing.

Friday, for my bicep/tricep workout, I will be using my last sample packet of HemaVol in conjunction with a 1/2 scoop of Maximize V2. Based on my experiences thus far, Friday's workout should be pretty intense!

[hoopem6]

Day 3:

Today is my off day. Time to give my body a much needed rest!

[hoopem6]

Workout 3, Day 4:

As I mentioned in an earlier post, for today's bicep/tricep workout I would be using Maximize V2 plus my last sample packet of HemaVol.

The "pump" from Hemavol, combined with the energy from Maximize V2, makes for an exceptional workout. I mean, there were times when I literally had to stop on the third-fourth repetition of standing barbell curls because of how full my biceps felt...

Anyways, tomorrow's my ab/cardio workout. I'm thinking about jumping back up to one full scoop of Maximize V2 just to see how its' energy levels affect my cardio session.

[hoopem6]

Workout 4, Day 5:

Today's ab/cardio workout was amazing. The amount of energy I get from one scoop of Maximize V2 is unparalleled. Thirty minutes on the elliptical trainer flew by. Instead of hastily moving on to my ab routine, I decided to continue on... As a result, I was able to complete a full hour of cardio, a full ab routine, and the entire P90X Ab Ribber X training video. The endurance/energy aspects of Maximize V2 impress me more, and more, with each workout. However, it's now time for so much needed R&R.

Very nice! I hate cardio, unless a sport is involved, so anything that helps time go by like that is a great addition.

Workout 5, Day 7:

Nothing new to report, as of today at least. My endurance/energy levels continue to climb on a workout-workout basis. Also, I believe I have finally gotten past the initial assessment dosing of 1/2 scoop. The "jittery" feeling I had been experiencing has now completely subsided. As a result, one full scoop has officially taken over as my personal dosing preference.

Day 10:

Sorry it has taken me two days to update this log. I am currently taking classes over the summer, and have been extremely busy with the semester coming to an end.

Needless to say, the past two workouts have been fantastic as usual. I can not stress enough how energized I feel on only one scoop. I should also note that the "Raspberry Lemonade" flavor has inadvertently grown on me.

I guess I'm not entirely sure what else is left to say, that hasn't already been said, regarding the effectiveness of Maximize V2... I had ultimately anticipated a better following, so if anyone has any specific questions or comments concerning my experiences with Maximize V2 please feel free to add them!
