Performance to the max with performax fitmax

[broken bottle]

Here is my log for kiwi strawberry fitmax preworkout.

I got this in the mail while squatting so I will start it tomorrow.
My wife is going to use it today however, so we will get her thoughts first. You mention the label says fat burning and all of a sudden the women want to try it lol.

Going on a cruise after I hit The Arnold for a few hours opening day so expect some inactivity after tomorrow.

 

[nicksox15]

Thanks four starting man! Enjoy the cruise!

 

[broken bottle]

Wife used 3/4 a scoop with 7 oz. water. (She is overly critical on the taste of supplements.) She actually said the fitmax tasted alright and indeed tasted like strawberry. (So this is really good) After about 10 minutes she started getting extra energy and could really feel it. She basically killed her workout improving all aspects. PR on hip thrusts. PR on db rows. PR on squat reps. PR on incline bench. Said she got really good height on hanging leg raises. She had a great arm pump and was all flexing in the mirror. She really liked it and said she was using it next time she lifts. (This never happens, and she has only taken a preworkout a handful of times)

So performax you have a winner as far as my wife is concerned.

 

[nicksox15]

Nice! We are definitely hoping for women to enjoy this product as it's not a stim heavy

 

[broken bottle]

Just took a scoop. Tastes really refreshing, fruity, not awful like others. It's really becoming apparent to me that you don't have to take terrible tasting preworkouts as many companies are putting out quality products that taste good.

 

[Adizzle1]

Thats awesome, really looking forward to your feedback!

 

[broken bottle]

Pretty nice energy, had a pump in my arms pretty quick. Going to dose 1.5 scoops next time I use it.

Back. Lifting today.

 

[nicksox15]

Nice! How was the cruise?

 

[broken bottle]

Kickass. Labadee Haiti, Falmouth Jamaica, Georgetown Grand Cayman, and Cozumel Mexico. We drank lots of alcohol and ate boatloads of food. I got fat.

 

[nicksox15]

Lol, glad you had fun! And just look at it as a dirty bulk, now time to hit it hard!

 

[broken bottle]

Lol, glad you had fun! And just look at it as a dirty bulk, now time to hit it hard!

Thanks I did lift 5 times on the boat. They had hammer strength machines, dumbbells, a Smith machine, and countless cardio stuff I didn't touch.


Used a scoop and a half. Trained about three hours after a meal. Extremely tasty preworkout! You could put rum in it and it would be awesome! Epic squatting session considering I havent squatted for so long. There was a (squat) machine on the cruise ship and a leg sled so it is not the same or comparable to squatting. Weight felt super heavy and wanted nothing more than to put on my belt and or quit. Willpower and supplements kept me going though.

Running Juggernaut method again with no belt.

This was excruciating. Collapsed for about 10 minutes in basement and again after I made it upstairs.

 

[nicksox15]

Congrats on the PR!! Always a good feeling.

 

[nicksox15]

How goes it good sir?

 

[broken bottle]

Scoop and a half for ohp day. On paper this training looks a little lackluster, but I'm actually pretty happy with the volume, my performance, and da pump. Saw my bicep vein which is pretty cool since I'm freaking 250 lbs right now. Oh, and can't say enough good things about the taste of FitMax.

Yesterday's training.

Training was all over the place. Shoulder is messed up, think I have some knots in my delt.

 

[broken bottle]

Scoop and a half for some deadlifts. The PR is only a PR because I've never went that heavy in that variation before. Still a good PR I've got some pretty serious DOMS from that squat session still so I really didn't think I'd make it today. FitMax kept me rocking though!

Some CGBP to test the shoulder. Didn't feel too bad but called it anyway.

 

[broken bottle]

Wife took a scoop and said she had loads of energy. Added 5 squats on to each set. She had a nice arm pump that she was pretty happy about.

 

[nicksox15]

Good deal man! Love the pump as well, back and bi day for me is awesome. Glad the wife liked it!

 

[broken bottle]

My biceps get pumped before I even directly train them.

 

[nicksox15]

Me too! On some high volume days I have to skip bis cause they're too pumped already

 

[broken bottle]

I got a question and a comment. How much "fat burner" stuff is in a scoop. I feel like it had something to do with what happened after going apes.hit on some squats. My comment, FitMax gives me a wicked back pump on squat and deadlift day. Not ideal but I can handle it.

Super happy with my squatting performance. Used a scoop and a half. Little hiccup at the end.

The last set left me collapsed on the floor pale and sweaty for forty minutes. It was awful, my mom and sister even came over for dinner and I couldn't even eat with them. Totally embarrassing. I was fighting passing out and throwing up. I eventually ate two cookies and I was fine!

But 315 for 30 reps with no belt, a triumphant success! !!!!!!!

 

[nicksox15]

Jeez man that sounds rough. Are you taking any other supps? I'm not aware of exact doses in the prop blend but I'll let Adizzle1 know and have him stop in to comment. Hope you're feeling better today!

 

[broken bottle]

I think it may have contributed is all. Extreme effort output plus not enough carbs plus tired and fighting off sickness equals tough times.

 

[broken bottle]

Today's training was pretty random, just trying to hit some neglected muscle groups. Used a scoop of FitMax. Traps felt good after this. Shoulders had a good pump from 50 rep rehab movements.

Did you have a shoulder injury? I dislocated my shoulder and had surgery a while ago but still use the rehab exercises for the shoulders. Love em and wish I had incorporated them before my injury.

 

[broken bottle]

I think I have an impingement. I've been taking ibuprofen one pill every 6 hours plus rehab movements and it's doing a lot better. If I don't get better after 10 days of this then I'll go to dr.

 

[broken bottle]

I keep rocking a scoop and a half even though I want to try two scoops on a pressing day. Oh well. 1.5 works good for me. Consistently getting good energy focus and results from fitmax and I love the flavoring.

[broken bottle]

Actually went really well. Didn't get that lower back pump. Had a glute pump though. My second to last deadlift set was super fast and aggressive. Quite happy about it.

[nicksox15]

Nice workouts man! Hows that impingement feeling?Glad you're still getting the good energy and focus!

 

[broken bottle]

It's getting better I think. Thanks for inquiring. I had great power output in my top press set from training below.

Nice workout sir, how did the Fitmax treat you during it?

 

[broken bottle]

Great man. Super power output on my topset. Lots of energy throughout.

 

[broken bottle]

Had to take something else for squats the other day so fast forward to deadlift day!

Scoop and a half of the yummy FitMax. Again I did not get the lower back pump I was getting so yay. Really got a good glute pump during the 405 x10 set. Glutes for the sloots amiright? jk I think I was pretty tired because I was lacking some intensity. Focus was good. Strength was good. Left my chalk at home so grip suffered some. Bench press tomorrow! Think I'll try a two scoop FitMax punch to the face!

FitMax notes. Great pumps. Got a super lot of volume in on bench day. Big chest, bicep, tricep pumps. Big quad pump, lots of leg strength.

The bad.
Day after bench pressing my shoulder pain flared to excruciating.

Rest day I did a minute long plank with my wife standing on back (60 kg). It significantly impaired my core strength for squatting, damn near sending me to snap city.

The good. I put work in.


2 scoops used. Giant pumps!
Bench press day

A rest day. That 60 kg plank.



1.5 scoops used. Too much stuff worked against me. Performance was there, body was not, mind was not.

Squat day
Front squat
Worked up to a 350x1 pr!

Back squat
Worked up to.
300x8/8/8/8/8.

What a horrible squat day. Couldn't keep back flexed because shoulder. Core terribly weak from plank. I hit my reps and carried my Ass upstairs.

 

[nicksox15]

Sorry to hear about the shoulder good sir. I understand all too well how frustrating that can be. Good job on powering through though!

 

[cubsfan815]

In!

Shoulder pain to me is the worse. I can deal with just about anything, but shoulder pain makes me very angry.

 

[broken bottle]

I think it's my bicep tendon. Had issues before, and it's currently spreading tightness and inflammation throughout shoulder. Going to see a Dr.

So I'm going to deload for now and wrap this log up. Might as well do it now before a week of "did some light lifting and had good energy and a nice pump."

 

[nicksox15]

Works for me sir, hope you heal up quickly! Be sure to leave a final review here and in the review section.

 

[broken bottle]

Can do brother.

 

[Adizzle1]

Can do brother.

Were looking forward to it!

 

[broken bottle]

Final review.

Side note Dr. Said I have bicep tendonitis. Gave me prednisone and said no lifting for 7 days.
So this is a good stopping point.

Taste: Outstanding! I have not tasted a better preworkout and I've used about 20+.

Mixes: up super easy. Used anywhere from 6-12 oz water.

Focus: it's no focus xt, but it has a little something and that's enough for me.

Pumps: Gives great pumps! Especially in da biceps. By the time you get to isolating biceps you can flex and get a super hard contraction before you isolate them.
Makes me vascular as well. Nothing crazy but better than not taking it.

Energy: Good, clean, mild, no crash energy.

Cons: Sometimes I got a lower back pump which can be uncomfortable. Really not a big deal though. Training for powerlifting sometimes you don't want a pump say when your squatting. I encountered this, but very mildly.

If I could choose what this is missing I like beta alanine and maybe more stim.

I would consider this product a jack of all trades and master of none, except taste. This is good if you want a do it all preworkout.


The good:
My wife likes it! This is huge. She is disgusted by most supplements. But she likes FitMax, had great trainings with it, and I will totally buy her more. It's a perfect preworkout for her bootycentric workouts. Gave her good energy, power while squatting rowing benching etc., good pumps, and focus on form and muscle. I'm totally stoked on FitMax because of all this.

I honestly quite liked it too. Its great for when I do like a bodybuilding day, or higher volume day.

Big thanks to the reps and Powermax!

 

[nicksox15]

Thanks for the review! Glad the wife likes it. If you're into more stim, keep your eyes out for our new pwo Hypermax! Take care of that bicep also

 

[AntM1564]

Rest that bicep, you don't want to have a serious injury. Great review also my man. I liked how you gave feedback on improvements you would make. Often times, people say I did not like this and that about a prouct, but do not list what they would do to improve it.

 

[broken bottle]

If you're into more stim, keep your eyes out for our new pwo Hypermax!

Well I'd love to log it if given the chance. Thanks again for the well wishes. I'll get it in the review section tomorrow morning.

 

[broken bottle]

Got that review in guys. Thanks again.

 

[cubsfan815]

Got that review in guys. Thanks again.

Thanks for the review. Rest up and come back strong!

 

[broken bottle]

Thanks for the review. Rest up and come back strong!

Prednisone is working great. I have a meet May 31 and I hope to squat 500 and deadlift 600 raw.
