PowerMaxXT. Welcome to the ThunderDome (sponsored)

[SilentSavage0523]

Big thanks put to the guys at performax for giving me a chance to log PowerMaxXT. I have used non stimulus products in the past and enjoy them very much. This is the first time I had tried a product from performax before but after seeing some starts to the logs I am very much looking forward to this.

Training wise I am in a volume block and will be doing cardio 5 to 6 times a week. Also rugby season has started so we practice 2 days a week for 2 hours and games on saturdays. So the recovery benefits of PowerMaxXT should really shine through for me.

Anyway first dosing will be tomorrow on a rest day. Then first dose used in training will be monday. Looking forward to get this going.

Feeling like it is treating you well thus far?

Yes for sure. Muscles seem to feel a lot fuller longer throughout the day, and endurance while training seems to be really up. Also a lot less sore after practice and the game yesterday.

Great intial thoughts. Glad it's treating you well.

I think today was just kind of the boiling point to kick my self in the ass and attack this **** like a savage. A silent savage, has been woken.

 

[SilentSavage0523]

Forgot to log this morning but got in a morning run before work and will be heading to practice tonight. Doms and any soreness has been nonexistent lately after starting PowerMaxXT so it's treating me right so far.
Will be spending tomorrow with the family and flying out Saturday again for a work school for a week.

What kind of school you in bro? Looks like tower climber. Ive done something like that when I went through High Angle rescue school, but we didnt climb. We had to ascend up the rope from ground to top, lock off on the rope, change over to another rope and rappel back down... for the entire d@mn day. Looks cool!!

 

[SilentSavage0523]

Yea it's a tower climber school. Will be covering rappelling tomorrow and suspended rescue later this week

You sir, are in for an amazing time!! Good luck!

 

[cubsfan815]

Tower climbers are crazy mofos. I freaked out on 50' tv tower once. I worked for a WISP for 10 years, our climbers would climb 500 ft towers almost daily.

Glad there are people who enjoy it.

 

[SilentSavage0523]
