Superpump Max
By Jay
After countless tubs of Jack3d and Superpump 250, I was happy to try a new product. I'm a big fan of Gaspari products, and I have to say that Superpump MAX is good stuff. I believe that I feel less jittery than 250, yet I prefer the results and pumps over Jack3d. It doesn't make my heart race too badly like the old Superpump did, and I don't crash nearly as hard.I WILL NOT buy the blue flavor again - it stains your teeth and you look like a child who just ate a sucker immediately after drinking it. Honestly, the blue tastes really good, but it's almost too sweet. Not only would it taste better with less dye and sweetness, but I wouldn't look like a jackass drinking some toxic-blue douchy drink. it could stand to be a little less heavy on the coloring.Finally, it turns my poop a wonderful shade of blue as well. Very disconcerting the first time I took it, but I got used to it. I assume all the flavors taste good, so I would recommend staying away from the Blue.

iTrainWithMax!
By Parker "Mufasa"
First of all, Jack3d was my pre-workout of choice for a long, long, time. It was always successful at hyping me up for my workouts, so I was happy with it for awhile. And of course Jack3d hyped me up, it's so loaded with stimulants. I gradually realized I didn't like the energy it was giving me. I was jittery for the first half of my workouts, and then I would lose the jittery energy and somewhat crash in the second half of my workouts. I began searching for a new pre-workout.This was around the time Gaspari released Max. I always had good results with Gaspari's products (Sizeon Max, Anavite, Myofusion), so I gave Max a shot. Some of you might have heard people refer to it as SuperDump? Well I tried it for a week, and definitely had some super dumps. They became too annoying, so I gave up on Max and went back to Jack3d for the next couple of months. However, I still didn't enjoy Jack3d and got the urge to try Max again. I'm so glad I did. My first day back on it, I was revisited by the super dumps. I was disappointed because I really wanted Max to work. Then I considered, Sizeon Max and SP Max have a lot of similar ingredients, maybe my stomach is getting overwhelmed by taking them both so close to each other. So I took a break from Sizeon for a bit, and the superdumps completely disappeared! I was gradually able to bring sizeon back into my routine, and now I take them both in full servings with no stomach issues whatsoever. Woohoo!Now that I've covered the only major Con I experienced with Max, on to the Pros we go!Effectiveness: 10/10The energy I get from Max is the cleanest energy I have ever experienced. No jitters. No crashing. It doesn't feel like it goes straight to your head or heart like a lot of other stimulant-packed pre-workouts do. Probably because Max isn't stimulant packed. It has a low dose of caffeine compared to similar products. This is a huge plus for me, because too many stimulants are not only bad for your health, they inhibit optimal muscle growth. Since pre-workouts are generally taken by people seeking to gain muscle (like me), would it make sense to use a preworkout that could restrict muscle growth? Nope. Max gives me a steady, clean energy from the start of my workout, through the end of my workout, and for a few hours after my workout. Not a crazy super hyped up energy, but definitely a solid energy that keeps me focused, motivated, and confident. Confidence isn't usually mentioned with PWO's, but I definitely feel it with Max. I don't look at weights anymore with thoughts like "That's a lot of weight" or "There's no way I can get this 8 times". That's an awful mindset to have, since a huge part of lifting weights is your mentality. Max gives you a confidence that erases the doubts you might normally have, so you can just focus on pushing to your limit. I guess this goes with the whole confidence thing, but it just really puts you in a great mood overall.My strength has steadily increased in all my lifts while on Max. But I also take Sizeon and lots of protein, so I can't speak for how much of the strength gains can be credited solely to Max. I personally don't do much cardio, but if cardio is your thing I think you would enjoy Max. My endurance has shot up while on it. As for the pump, I don't think the pump is any more amazing than any other PWO I've used. But it's not worse either. I'm naturally pretty lean and vascular, so I generally get the same solid pump no matter what PWO I use.Taste: 10/10The Pink Lemonade is delicious! It's not something where you think it just tastes good for a supplement. Supplement or not, Pink Lemonade Max tastes better than any regular pink lemonade drink I've ever tried. That's impressive. The first tub I got though was Fruit Punch. It was the only flavor Vitamin Shoppe had at the time. It's hard for me to judge it, because I hate fruit punch flavors. Ever since a bad experience with Walmart brand fruit punch creatine many years ago, I don't like fruit punch anything. Bleh. But apart from the flavor, I would caution against getting fruit punch. Gaspari put way too much color dye into it, and it will give you red teeth for your workout. I had to brush my teeth right after I used it everytime, which got annoying. So I would recommend against purchasing the flavors that are probably boldly colored. I assume the blue one would do the same thing. Pink Lemonade though is a very light pink color that doesn't affect the natural color of your mouth. And did I mention it's delicious?Value: 7/10Yes, it's definitely not the cheapest PWO. But it's not ridiculously priced either. I would often need to use 2 or 3 scoops of Jack3d, while the most I have ever used with Max is a scoop and a half. I usually only need one scoop. So it lasts a for a decent amount of time.Overall, I would strongly recommend it. If you're a caffeine junky that is addicted to energy drinks, you probably won't feel much energy from this. But if you're looking for good clean energy, no jitters, and a product that will help you get the most out of your workout and maximize muscle growth, I recommend Max.P.s. It's also entertaining when people ask who you lift with. "I lift with Max." "Ohhh.. Who's Max?"

Great pre-workout!
By Michael C. Callahan
At 63 years old I can still bench 325 - SuperPump is an integral part of my routine maiking that possible.
