My first work out with PowerMax was an interesting one. I didn't have a huge rush of energy like I do with other PWO's. However the energy gradually kicked in and I could definitly feel the power kicking in. After 24 sets of Quad and Calf Exercises I was still ready for more. I didn't feel like I had more of a pump than I normally do, I may try to run a double scoop to see of this changes.

The taste of the product with 8oz of water was a bit lighter than I expected. I will try with 6 or 7 ounces of water tomorrow. However the taste is good (Fruit Punch)
I did not have any kind of crash with this product and I was able to sleep like a baby.
 
In! Great start man. Most feel two scoops Is the sweet spot so don't be afraid to give that a shot!

Double Scoop, engery hit me good since I had a good breakfast. Stamina was great could have spent another hour in the gym.

After the first week of use, I think to get the most out of this product is to have good hearty meals prior to taking this pwo, then lift hard.
 
Double scoop again today

Focus, Energy, Stamina were all high. Pump was minimal unfortunatly. Could be because I didn't really do any isometic quad exercises....

One this I can say that love so far about this product is that I don't get any jitters. Its a good, clean, lasting energy without the crash. My favorite thing about it that I have no problem getting to sleep.
 
Nice workout man, looks like you killed it! One of the best parts of Powermax is the cleanness of the energy, glad you are all experiencing that as well!

Welcome aboard, I've been under the weather for a few days. Didn't get a chance to stay with your log updates. Looking great so far and really setting off this PowerMax log with solid lifts/numbers. As it seems from your past updates, the tunnel vision and high level of focus is finding you well. I don't feel like a anxious spazz as I did on some PWO in the past. It's this insane level of focus I get from PowerMax, sometimes even without music, I simply can't be phased...haha

Had an excellent pump going. Stamina and Engery Through the roof... could have stayed all night.
Pump was crazy, I had to wait 15 minutes so that I could get my arms loose enough to take my shirt off to tan.
 
That's awesome about the pump! I had hypertrophy today for upper body and had a very similar experience with a shirt! My problem was getting my tie over my head!

Didn't get to the gym until late. Was way out of my rhythm.

Took a double scoop but I think by that time my body had assumed I wasn't going to make it to the gym.

I had a decent pump going and some decent energy going in, but it tapered off and just needed to stretch out.
 
It's always tough getting to the gym late. I get into such a routine that if something throws it off I can definitely tell. You'll be all good!
 
I know exactly how you guys feel. Sometimes ill be ready to go but for whatever reason, busy day, extra stress, i just cant get my mind and body into it and at the point no amount of Powermax will help hahaha

So Today, I had a Mudathlon Obstacle Course Race.
Took a double scoop and completed the race, but the end I felt like I was just getting warmed up.

Went to lunch and drove 2 hours home, then decided it was gym time. Took another double scoop and hit the gym.

Had amazing energy and stamina. Could have stayed at the gym the rest of the night.

another great workout! Seems like the energy from powermax is holding strong, have you noticed that you've gotten used to it at all?
 
Well done sir! Are you noticing anything from a pump or focus perspective?
 
Pump honestly seems to be hit and miss for me with this product. However it may be ralated to my diet as well. If I take in a good amount of carbs prior to lifting my pump is there. If I dip my carbs lower the pump is minimal.

Focus has been great throughout this entire log. I'll write up a full comprehensive review when I finish my log.

I will say that I have recommended this product to several friends to try. I recieved 2 sample packs in the mail and I have handed those out already.
 
Good deal man, thanks for helping us spread the word! Let me know if you had any other buddies looking to try and we'll hook em up!

Final review for Performax PowerMax PreWorkout

I would like to start by saying all information concluded below are my own opinions and experiences. In no way, was I paid, or coerced into providing a biased review for this product. This review is based on the recommended 2 scoops.



I'd like to thank Performax and NickSox15 for the opportunity to review and log this product.


My current phase for last 2 months has been cutting. I was given the chance to try out PowerMax. Given that its supposed to be a low-stim, high performance product, I jumped at the opportunity to test it. As we all know most preworkout supplements rely heavily on caffeine for the energy boost. That's all well and dandy but what a lot of people don't realize is that that huge spurt of caffeine energy can convert to cortisol. Cortisol triggers body fat. That's a no no for me right now.

The ingredients are typical of most PWO's, with B Vitamins, creatine, vasodilators, and other stimulants. Another ingredient is Advantra Z. I had to look this up and found directly from the manufactures website that its a thermogenic formula that's supposed to help with energy utilization, and amino acid absorption.

I will break this review down into a few parts here for easier reading.


Mixability: 10/10
Performax easily mixed with smaller and larger amounts of water than required on the label. I was impressed with the grit free texture and was easily indigestible. Being easily mixable made taking double scoops easier will less water.

Taste: 7.5/10
Taste was good. It was a bit like a fruit punch koolaide. It wasn't the best tasting PWO nor was it the worst.


Pump: 7.5/10
The pump with performax seemed to be hit or miss for me. What was noticeable was when I would eat a good large lunch and then took my performax I was getting huge pumps. If I didn't eat as much the pumps were less noticeable.


Stamina: 10/10
One thing that remained constant through the entire log was the stamina increase from the product. I could easily speed hours at the gym and still have the endurance to continue training. I've never gotten that from any other PWO.


Energy: 9/10
The energy I got from this product was different from any other PWO I have taken. First and foremost when they advertise “clean energy”, it really is. You don't get a huge blast of energy to the face right away. Instead, you get slow controlled energy release. This energy kind of sneaks up on you as your workout continues. You find yourself on set 5 with more energy than you had at set 1 and 2. This means that your able to push harder with heavier weight.


Final thoughts;
Overall it was a great product. I liked the fact that I didn't get a face full of energy right away and it didn't have a huge amount of caffeine to get me all stimmed out. Another great thing that I didn't mention before is that there was never an energy crash and I didn't have any issue will sleep. The only thing that was kind of a con, was that the pumps seemed to only when I ate a good meal prior. This isn't necessarily a bad thing but during my cut phase it kind of was a downer since I wasn't eating a ton of calories. I would probably try this product again through my bulk phases to see if the results change. (starts Aug 1) I feel like my workouts were more effective while running this product due mostly to the stamina increase that I got throughout the entire log. Again this is far and away the best product I have taken for increased stamina throughout my workouts.

I have already recommended this product to a number of friends to try. Especially those whom are looking for something that doesn't hinder sleep and are looking for long lasting energy throughout their workouts. In fact, I gave away both trial packs that I had received in the mail, and gave away a few scoops from my own stash.
 
Great final review man! Very pleased you had a good experience and really enjoyed following along. Thanks for helping us spread the word to your buddies as well! Could you throw this up on the product review section as well? Thanks again man and keep kicking ass in the gym!
