Athletix's NEW High Volume: An Advanced Pump & Performance Complex!

BIG. Bold. Beautiful.

Finally, Athletix is bringing what the “customer in the know” has been asking for. A powerful stimulant free pre-workout with hefty ingredient amounts, an unchallengeable formula, and enough servings to last the above-average trainee at least 4 weeks. Yes…20 to 40 servings!

5g L-Citrulline (That’s Equivalent to approx. 10g Citrulline Malate!)

Today companies are still sneaking citrulline malate into their formulas hoping to fool the consumer. Citrulline malate is a cheap source of citrulline blended 1 part citrulline and 1 part malic acid. 1 gram of citrulline malate only yields about 560mg of pure citrulline, and costs around half the price of pure L-Citrulline.

Athletix cares about our consumers and wants them to finally experience an insane trifecta of pump, endurance, and vascularity. So we loaded 5g of real L-Citrulline into every serving.

1000mg Agmatine Sulfate

This dual acting pump ingredient is the hottest thing on the block for one simple reason….it works. The synergy provided in this formula with the citrulline, along with agmatine’s ability to induce pump through multiple mechanisms will undoubtedly have you turning the volume up.

Micronized Glycerol Monostearate

GMS brings a mechanism to pump and endurance that is independent of NO-based mechanisms seen in ingredients like L-Citrulline. If the NO-based mechanisms weren’t enough to already give you roadmap veins and pumps so big you can’t hold your phone to your ear, we wanted to take this formula up yet another notch.

Hyperhydration in elite endurance athletes has been well documented and proven effective. So much so that unfortunately, GMS is banned by the NCAA. But for everyone else in the world we can reap its benefits and enjoy the edge in the gym it gives!
Typical GMS on the market is made up of very large particles that have a lot of trouble dissolving and cause some difficulty in consumption. We use a special form of GMS that is micronized to maximize its mixability in the formula.

Taurine, IP-6, and Plantago

These final three ingredients are not going to give you anymore pump. Don’t worry, you are already beyond maxed out with the first three ingredients! These last three are here to help maximize the endurance benefits in the formula.
New research on taurine has been conducted to better understand how it works to increase performance and/or endurance. A recent study on elite soccer players found that 1.5mg/kg of Taurine had positive effects on the subjects’ cytokine response from intense training.

Inositol Hexaphosphate, or IP-6, is an inositol molecule bound with 6 phosphate groups. Phosphate loading is a trick that endurance athletes use behind the scenes to boost their times.
Usually this is done with a mineral phosphate like sodium phosphate. These mineral phosphates can upset the GI tract and are an old school way to go about phosphate loading. We used a smarter method…phosphates bound to an organic molecule like inositol.

Plantago Major L. was first released by Athletix in our product Titanium. The animal study performed on this extract showed significant results in terms of endurance through glycogen retention. The study also mentions Plantago may be useful to increase physical strength as well.

Athletix's NEW Acute FX: A Next Generation Pre-Workout System!

Key Highlights:

Flavored Capsule Powder for Optimal Mixing!
Mix in Water or Take In Capsule Form!
Pharmacist Formulated!
Intense Energy!
Dialed-In Focus!
Extreme Pump!
Great Mood!
Optimal Performance & Recovery!
Never before has the industry seen a product like Acute-FX…these little capsules pack a punch!

Pre-workout powders are the go-to choice for many. They hit quick, and before you know it you’re cranking out reps at the gym…But capsules have their place as well. Pop a few capsules, no taste, no mixing, and easy to carry around.

Athletix took note of these two pre-workout categories and made them into one…the first ever pre-workout capsule with flavored powder inside the capsules! That’s right…if you want the experience of drinking Acute-FX it’s as easy as separating a few capsules and mixing with water. Want to take a few capsules on the go? You’re all set.

While the novelty of the flavored inner capsule is exciting, the most exciting part of the blend is the straightforward approach to delivering what you seek in the gym: FOCUS, ENERGY, PUMP, and THERMOGENISES.

No gimmicks…just results

FOCUS & ENERGY

The number one reason we all need pre-workouts. Acute-FX provides an all new feel that is clean, smooth, and will extend past the length of your training. The dialed-in focus will push you through each rep, and every contraction. Prepare to walk around the gym feeling like you’re a level above everyone around you.

PUMP

We all want it…we all love it. Agmatine is becoming the most popular pump ingredient for a reason…it works. And it works incredibly well! Combined with Vinpocetine and the pump-producing stim Higenamine…you’re in for huge pumps for such a small serving. This is a true concentrated pump formula.

THERMOGENSIS

Get more out of your workouts…we are all in the gym to transform our bodies. Why not indulge in some strong thermogenesis to assist your transformation a step further? Get the most out of the time you spend working hard, and SWEAT!

Had an awesome workout today with AFX/HV! Bicep pumps were out of this world. Great mind/muscle connection as well. I will post the log first thing in the Morning. I got in late from dinner, and I have work bright and early.

Had a cheat meal dinner/ dessert... Authentic cuban sandwich at a cuban restaurant (phenomenal - cuban pork, ham, and chorizo on homemade bread with queso blanco and of course a pickle served with plantain fries) , and a whole pint of B&J's cinnamon buns (which was not as good as I expected - but still delicious)

Took yesterday off for some R&R. Today I'll be back in the saddle with some light legs, rear delts, and biceps.

Status update on AFX/HV: I'm genuinely impressed with the profiles. I've noticed severe pumps and they seem to last for hours after the workout is over. In fact, yesterday morning I was still feeling pumps from Friday's lift! The focus and endurance are top notch as well!

Feeling pumps from yesterdays workouts is no joke. After my legsplosion I was still feeling it the next morning. Woke up all pumped and sore!

Looking good! I hate being interrupted. Usually by a shy awkward girl (or rarely a shorter black guy) wanting to ask me how tall I am lol.

Good work on the dips... BW+70lbs is fun, isn't it? I'm heading towards the +90lbs area myself. Always gotta be careful when I get the plates/chain belt set up so I don't rack myself with all that weight haha!

Keep it up!
