ALLMAX Pre and Post Workout Stack by Coach Eric Broser

    Why: I prefer to have my pre-workout meal relatively close to the time I am to begin training. However, since whole foods are “heavier” and take longer to digest/process, I opt for the combination of these two powdered supplements. They never bloat me, nor make my stomach uncomfortable while hitting the weights. ISOFLEX is 100% whey isolate, which provides me with a rapidly absorbed source of all the essential amino acids – which of course help repair and build muscle tissue, while allowing carbohydrates to fuel your system. CARBION+ contains a scientifically engineered blend of various carbohydrates, supplying the body with both quick and long-lasting energy. The addition of electrolytes will prevent muscle cramping as well as optimize muscle contractions and transmission of nerve impulses.       Why: This combination of products provides me with every ingredient I need to have the most intense workout experience possible. The mixture of compounds in HVOL provides me skin-splitting pumps, which not only feel incredible, but also help trigger the anabolic process. CREATINE is best known for producing significant gains in strength, allowing me to push more weight for more reps at almost every workout. CREATINE has also been shown to increase levels of IGF-1, while decreasing myostatin, which will significantly augment muscle hypertrophy. IMPACT is the most powerful “pre-workout” I have ever used in terms of greatly boosting my energy, focus, drive, concentration and metabolism. The effects come on quickly and last throughout my entire two-hour workout. IMPACT does not make me feel jittery or shaky, nor does it negatively affect my stomach or bring about a sudden “crash” in energy. AMINOCORE rounds out the stack because BCAA’s, in the proper 9:6:5 ratio, can reduce fatigue during exercise, while also improving the ability of the body to use fats for fuel (rather than amino acids). BCAA’s also help trigger protein synthesis, accelerating muscle growth.         Why: CVOL has become an absolutely essential part of my complete supplementation protocol because it helps foster recovery after intense training. You must remember that what we do in the gym only increases the possibility for hypertrophy. If we do not efficiently repair the damage that resistance training causes, new lean tissue will not be produced! The combination of an advanced Creatine chelate complex, Beta-Alanine and L-Carnitine L-Tartrate that is supplied in CVOL has been shown in many research studies to be optimal for maximizing recovery and recuperation. The replacement and augmentation of intracellular creatine and carnosine stores must be addressed immediately post workout. LCLT works to “shield” muscles from excessive damage during resistance training while also protecting/increasing androgen receptors on muscle cells. One of the most powerful “pathways” the human body has for creating muscle growth is known as mTOR. Leucine has been proven to directly “switch on” mTOR, and the most vital time to do so is right after an intense resistance workout.
