Performax SlinMax FINAL REVIEW:
Over the last month (just under) I have dosed the a wide variety of ways and with a wide variety of meal timings, macro breakdowns, and pretty much anything else you can try.
Pump- this was the one area I was most disappointed. I say this to be taken with a grain of salt as I've been having trouble achieving a great pump as of late, but had high hopes this would help. Regardless of the timing, carb consumption, etc there was little to no noticeable increase in pumps while taking this. 1/10
Bloat reduction- another key area for me and this was just ok. I did have some bloat reduction during some of my "blowout" or "cheat" meals but it was not always to the extent that I wanted and also seemed to take awhile to kick in as the first few weeks this was even less useful. By the end things had improved though so I would say that continued dosing is necessary to help here. 6/10
Fullness- this was once again non existent. At no point during the dosing did I look or feel "fuller" or "tighter". There was some noticeable increased vascularity (both in and out of the gym) which was surprising due to the lack of fullness. 5/10
Nutrient partitioning- over the last few weeks weight and body comp seem to have stayed right about where they were. There have been a few cheat days and even a weekend in there but overall calories have been pretty controlled. This may have had some impact on helping to maintain, but I have to credit most of this to the diet on the "In between" days. There is certainly no improvement in body comp. 5/10
Sides/negatives- even when dosing fasted and not eating for 12+ hours on a few occasions I never had any signs of low blood sugar. There were no negatives however which was a plus here. No diarrhea or anything like that that is often present in these types of supps. Only other noticeable effect was the stinky urine from the na-r-ala.
Overall- I have ranked my top 3 previous gda's as such: 1) recompadrol- best overall, great bloat reduction and decent pumps and fullness 2) AP- average bloat reduction, insane pumps and fullness 3) glycophase- decent bloat reduction, average pumps, limited fullness.
With that said, I would rank SlinMax right about equal with glycophase. For me, it was just ok. Much of what I had hoped to see came on slowly and some things never showed at all. The biggest issue that I had with this was the fact that many of the effects seemed to only come on after a longer period of dosing. As someone who issues gda's more for their acute effects, this is no good for me. For a longer term bulk or cut, this could work but the long term seemed necessary to truly benefit. With that said, this becomes a less cost effective supplement when compared to others that can be doses more acutely. Personally I would only choose this if I were planning to run it daily and over a longer (6+weeks) term. I had hoped to find the replacement for my current recompadrol, but would not consider this good enough to swap 1:1. There would need to be a more acute usefulness for it to make that claim. Overall rating 5/10.
Thanks to the guys at Performax labs for the opportunity to give this a shot!
