iForce Nutrition HEMAVOL

LEMON DROP [Log/Review]



What's In It?



​

Hemavol: A New Generation of Plasma Volumization! "HemaVol is now available in a lemon drop flavored powder to make the most delicious and effective Nitric Oxide boost of your life!" Product Highlights: Plasmas Volumization Increases Cellular Expansion! Peak Vasodilation For Roadmap Vascularity! Myotropic Nutrient Shuttle Drives Nutrients Directly Into Muscle Cells! Increased Effects With Each Dose! iFORCE Nutrition has done it again! Introducing the world’s first plasma volumizer, HEMAVOL! Hemavol was specifically engineered to generate skin splitting muscle pumps and myofibrallar plasma volumization. With Hemavol’s revolutionary hemodynamic technology, your workouts will NEVER be the same! A new generation of plasma volumizers has emerged and Hemavol is the ONLY choice for those who are sick of inferior so called “Nitric Oxide” products packed with useless sugars, caffeine and Arginine. Hemavol uses only ingredients backed by science. It’s time to get one step ahead of the competition, it’s time for Hemavol! Nitric Oxide is the key determining factor in how many nutrients reach your muscle cells, how quickly your body can buffer lactic acid, and most of all how INSANE your pumps are! By increasing Nitric Oxide to super-human levels, you can force your body to respond quicker than ever before. Whether your goal is to gain size, increase strength, or push your endurance further than ever before, the quickest way to achieve these goals is to maximize your Nitric Oxide. It only takes 1 dose to see and FEEL the difference... where will you be after 1 bottle? How Hemavol Works: Hemavol is a Combination of 2 Critical Matrices that work synergistically to promote plasma volumization: Hemodynamix matrix - scientifically formulated and precisely dosed to dramatically raise the actions of the Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) Enzyme, while at the same time dramatically increasing the plasma concentration of key compounds that are critical to the production of N.O. By augmenting the NOS Enzyme and maximizing the concentration of amino acids needed to produce N.O., the Hemodynamix matrix literally forces intracellular plasma, glycogen, and water into muscle cells creating a cell volumizing pump unlike anything you have ever experienced. Vasodilation support matrix - a carefully selected combination of compounds that directly magnifies the Hemodynamix complex. These ingredients increase NOS enzyme activity, while at the same time increasing endurance, modulating the arginase enzyme, and boosting vasodilation. The amazing results include longer lasting, stronger pumps and unstoppable endurance. Unlike every other N.O. Product, Hemavol’s effects build over time so every dose becomes stronger than the last! By supplementing your diet with Hemavol, you are unlocking newfound gains in size, strength and endurance. Enter a new world of vasodilation, skin splitting muscle pumps, and myotropic cellular expansion! Cellular Volumization With your first dose of HemaVol, you will notice an instantaneous volumization or swelling of your muscle cells. Using completely unique and advanced compounds, HemaVol is able to eliminate water from under your skin and force feed it directly into your muscle cells. This means bigger pumps, immediate increases in strength, and insane endurance! This rapid expansion will cause intense pumps that last longer than you have ever experienced. Peak Vasodilation By augmenting the Nitric Oxide Synthase (NOS) Enzyme, you can force our body to produce more Nitric Oxide. The synergistic ingredients in Hemavol enables your body to ramp up NO production as well as inhibit the traditional negative feedback loop that prevents super-human pumps + NO levels. In addition to a huge pump, intense vascularity will appear within minutes after your first dose. Mytropic Nutrient Shuttle Increasing the blood flow to muscles is important for one reason, forcing as many nutrients, oxygen and water into the muscle cell. Due to HemaVol’s intense vasodilation effects, your veins will instantly become more efficient at delivering all the necessary nutrients your hungry muscles need. Get the most out of every single calorie you eat, and make sure it gets to where it needs to go! Immediate Strength Increase With your first dose, Hemavol’s Hemodynamic Technology boosts the body’s ability to eliminate toxins such as Lactic Acid. Lactic Acid is most commonly referred to as “the burn” during a workout. By eliminating this nasty toxin, Hemavol will enable you to experience IMMEDIATE strength + endurance gains. Non-Stimulant Mental Focus Hemavol contains no synthetic stimulants. That means there is no crash or jitters, and you can stack it with other products like Maximize for the perfect blend of pump, power, focus, and energy! Increased Effects with Each Dose The revolutionary plasma volumization system in Hemavol was scientifically formulated to increase its effects with each dose! As your body adapts to the power of Hemavol, each dose will take you one step closer to the lean muscular physique you train so hard to achieve! About Me: Stats: 5'7" 193 lbs. Throughout this log, I'm going to keep an eye on things Hemavol claims to increase namely, Pumps, Endurance, Stamina and Strength. I have taken pretty much every single pre-workout under the sun (ask if you have any specific products you'd like me to compare this to. A big thanks goes out to iForce Nutrition For selecting me to try Hemavol. This is a product I've been interested in ever since it was released, as it has a very strong profile (in my opinion), yet I have not gotten around to trying it until now. I'll be updating this on my workout days only, as I don't really see a point in updating on off days. I'm currently training for hypertrophy/growth, so I don't go heavy most days (because I lift alone). That being said, any increases in strength, pumps, endurance and stamina over baseline will be reported. Let me know if there's anything else any of you would like for me to comment on. Now, let's get this thing started..

Thoughts:

Hemavol:

Taste: 7.5/10 - WOW, this tastes EXACTLY like LemonHeads. I've seen many reviews that claimed this, and although I was skeptical, it was a very, very accurate description. My rating scale is tough; I consider a 5 as average, and anything better should be (obviously) considered above average

Maximize V2 Raspberry Lemonade Sample:

Taste: 7.5/10 - This is also pretty damn good. I've tried Maximize V1 raspberry lemonade, and this one is much better. It is certainly above average for pre-workout products in terms of taste. It is not the best I have ever tried, but it is certainly something I would look forward to drinking.

Effects:
OK, this was a flat out GREAT workout. As you can see, I set a PR on skulls in terms of reps (18 reps with 45's on each side). The energy provided from Maximize was fantastic. Again, I've tried V1, but this one certainly felt much better for me. In terms of pumps - holy ****. I have not had pumps like this probably ever. I literally couldn't move my arms throughout the workout. I did a lot of high reps (which I generally always do) and although it always provides good pumps, these were FAR above baseline. I honestly can't believe how good they were. Even an hour after my workout, my arms were STILL pumped! Usually after about a half an hour after my workout, my pumps pretty much cease to exist anymore, but that was not the case at all today. Endurance was also fantastic. My average rest was probably about 35 seconds between sets, and I felt like I could just keep going. Strength did drop off from set to set, but that's expected when going from set to set so fast and keeping intensity so high. Overall, the initial impression I got from this product was incredible. I am really, really looking forward to seeing what this can do over time.

so in for this!


thumbs up for your initial thoughts! i remember when vaughn first told me about the lemonhead flavor, i was a skepticalhippo as well.....but it really is just like a liquid lemon head and yes, maximize v2 is a HUGEEE improvement on v1....in both flavor and formulation

looking forward to your thoughts after running a whole tub

V1 I would get sick from, couldn't tolerate the taste after months of use. V2 was a good change, but again got sick of the flavor. Fruit punch is what I currently use, but using it every day for months.. fruit punch is getting old! New flavors? V3 anyone?

2 scoops of Hemavol plus 1.5 scoops maximize is craziness! Lol if I did that on chest or back day I wouldn't be able to move for a few hours after training.

Day 2: Legs

Dosing: 2 Scoops HEMAVOL

Workout:

1 Legged Leg Press (6 sets)

*SS With*

Leg Press (6 sets)

Leg Extensions (8 sets including drop sets)

Lying Leg Curls (6 sets including drop sets)

Unilateral Leg Curls (5 sets)

Seated Calf Raises (4 sets)

*SS with*

Standing Calf Raises

Thoughts:
Thing to note about this workout - I did NOT post weights because sometimes when I lift, I go EXTREMELY high volume and I honestly don't pay attention to what weight I'm using. I adjust the weight as I feel fit so that I can hit whatever rep range I'm trying to hit. When I have days like this, I won't post weights, rather just the sets I have counted, but, for the most part, I will always post weights. By the way, one legged leg press superset with regular leg press is EXHAUSTING. I love doing them in this manner, though!

Effects:
Today, I tried 2 scoops of Hemavol prior to a leg workout, even against a lot of people's advice, because I wanted to see how good the pumps would be. And, they were fantastic. On days where I do such high volume like I did today, I always get great pumps, and there was nothing different about today. I can't really tell if they were above baseline, but I definitely couldn't walk after I concluded my leg extensions, which made the leg curls all the worse (in a good way ). Endurance was good, as I managed to do quite a few sets in a very short period of time (counting stretching, this workout took me about 35 minutes). Everything went great today, and I will be posting up a back workout tomorrow!

PS: Loving the lemon flavor! I may go so far as to say it is an 8/10, as opposed to a 7.5 like I initially stated.

Thanks, man! As am I! So far so good!

V1 I would get sick from, couldn't tolerate the taste after months of use. V2 was a good change, but again got sick of the flavor. Fruit punch is what I currently use, but using it every day for months.. fruit punch is getting old! New flavors? V3 anyone?

I let my roommate use the Fruit Punch sample packet I received, as he is big into supplements as well. I think he may be purchasing it now, haha. Also, I did taste a few sips of the Fruit Punch flavor, and it was pretty good! I'd say it's about a 7/10 in terms of flavor. Reminded me a bit of Lit-Up Sour Citrus (or whatever it's called), but I prefer the taste of Maximize by a bit.

i had ghetto trunk maximize. vaughn just handed me bags full of powders one day out of the trunk in his altima........when he said i was a willing guinea pig in my "welcome to the team" thread.......he wasnt kidding.

LOL!

2 scoops of Hemavol plus 1.5 scoops maximize is craziness! Lol if I did that on chest or back day I wouldn't be able to move for a few hours after training.

LOL. I literally couldn't move my arms for the longest time. I couldn't believe how great the pumps/energy/fullness were!

Been there done that!!

[StackedCop]

Lol^^^ a few weeks ago I did 2 scoops on leg day even knowing that the pump would incredibly painful.. I kinda liked it lol

[criticalbench]

Been there done that!!

Try 1.5 of dexaprime! I had to take valarian root 2 hours in because my heart was racing

Thoughts:
Sorry I didn't get this posted the other day, but I wanted to pop in here before bed (yes, it's 4 a.m. and I have to wake up for class at 9 a.m.). My dad and I are building a house and he needed me to help him pretty much all day the past few days, which has been killing me on top of school. I have one more workout to post which I'll do my best to get posted tomorrow, but I have to go to Cleveland for the weekend to see my mom so I'll try to remember to bring my PC. After this, it should be fairly smooth sailing as far as lifting/this log goes.

Effects:
Obviously, today was my first back day on Hemavol. And, again, I was not disappointed! I had a pretty damn good day, and felt very full. Pumps were really good as well, but not nearly as painful as they were on arms (can't wait to do arms again with it ). As far as strength - weights were pretty much in line with what I'm used to doing. Endurance and stamina were good as well. This workout took me roughly 30 minutes to complete, so rest times were very low. Calories have been cut back the slightest bit so that I can be ready to go once my vacation hits (going to the Keys after I graduate at the very end of December).

In on this.....

Been doing some experimenting lately and I have been doing 1 scoop Hemavol pre and 1/2 scoop post workout. Been having some nice effects.

Cant wait to see more man, keep it up.

Nice! Sounds interesting. I know a lot of people do that with Protocol (and agmatine in general) so it might be something I'll look into in the future.

Thoughts:
I didn't get to update this last night because my wireless internet at my mom's house in Cleveland wouldn't work for whatever reason. Not to mention, I was pretty damn drunk, so this would have been quite a mess . Great Lakes Brewing Company Christmas Ale (7.5% abv) is no joke!

Effects:
Today was another flat out good workout. I didn't get to do some of the exercises I wanted to because my gym is a college gym and, as such, it gets EXTREMELY busy. However, I still managed to have a really good workout. Strength was decent across the board - no PR's were set, but I am happy with where they are. My DB bench is no where near where it once was, but, like I've said a million times, I can't really go too heavy considering I don't lift with anyone. I also had really, really good pumps again. My chest, tri's and shoulders were super full for quite some time after the conclusion of my workout. Another good day!

[StackedCop]

Bet all the carbs from the beer added to that Hemavol pump lol

[JN230]

V1 I would get sick from, couldn't tolerate the taste after months of use. V2 was a good change, but again got sick of the flavor. Fruit punch is what I currently use, but using it every day for months.. fruit punch is getting old! New flavors? V3 anyone?

CB you TEASE!! V3 would be sick!!!

and holy crap nice log man! the results are damn nice!

Extra Thoughts:
Nothing in particular to note here today. Nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Effects:
Finally, I got to try another arm day with Hemavol to see if I would get similar pumps to those experienced last arm day, and they were JUST as good! FANTASTIC! I felt super full from start to finish, and it's incredible how long these pumps last after my workout. I honestly can't express how impressed I am with this particular aspect of this product; my pumps usually fade fairly quickly after my workout (30 mins or so and they're generally gone) but they are sticking with me for +1 hour since starting this stuff, which is really a remarkable increase. Everything else went according to plan as well; endurance was good, as was stamina/strength. One thing to note is that I did NOT take stimulants pre-workout today for the first time in a LONG time, and I still had a great workout, which was extremely surprising to me!

[criticalbench]

I need that.

Soon enough
