Which Pre-Workout is Right for Me?

With many pre-workout formulas on the market, it can be tough to decide which one will best support your energy levels, focus, and endurance in the gym. For purists, there are single-ingredient supplements to choose from while multi-ingredient supplements are a go-to for those who prefer a combination of enhancing ingredients all in one product. Check out what’s behind these five powerful pre-workout formulas from Max Muscle Nutrition and find the one that’s right for you.

Single Ingredient Supplements

Agmatine Sulfate

Agmatine is derived from the amino acid arginine and has been noted to support nitric oxide production. An increase in nitric oxide increases blood flow, which in turn increases the amount of oxygen available to our muscles. All in all, this process has a positive impact on endurance and strength.

Max Muscle’s Agmatine Sulfate contains a pure and natural source of agmatine sulfate known as AGmass manufactured by modern fermentation methods.

“This is a wonderful product for everyone to open up the blood vessels for better oxygen uptake to the muscles and faster recovery between sets,” said Jason Mayol, franchisee of Max Muscle Nutrition store in San Mateo, California.

Max CarnoSyn

CarnoSyn is the only patented (it has 21 global patents) and scientifically proven (by more than 40 studies) form of beta-alanine for human performance. Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid that clinical research has shown has the ability to increase intramuscular carnosine levels.

A study published in the journal, Nutrients, found that subjects who took 2–6 grams of beta-alanine per day were able to increase carnosine concentrations in the skeletal muscle by 20 to 80 percent.

Increased carnosine can result in increased muscular strength and power with the ability to effect endurance and delay onset of fatigue. 

Max L-Citrulline

This ultra-pure amino acid pre-workout catalyst is perfect to be used alone or added to a pre-workout mix. Max L-Citrulline delivers sustained muscle pump by elevating nitric oxide (NO) levels; Aids in muscle growth by improving blood flow to help shuttle the right nutrients to the muscles helping increase muscle performance; Significantly improves nitrogen balance supporting muscle protein synthesis, growth, and strength; Improves endurance and overall sports performance by detoxifying ammonia, reducing fatigue, increasing ATP levels, and fighting free radicals produced during exercise.

Max L-Citrulline is most effective as a pre-workout supplement and was developed based on exercise performance science to deliver beneficial results. Both men and women can benefit from this product. Additionally, Max L-Citrulline can be used throughout the day while not exercising as a refreshing and beneficial drink.

Brian, age 52 says “I have taken all sorts of energy boosts, including creatine and others that have left me feeling strange and itchy, but never have I taken something that compares to L - Citrulline. It has caused my workouts to become more extreme and longer lasting and I love the pump it gives me[.]”.

Use Max L-Citrulline during your next workout and experience the performance benefits you’ve been missing. 

Multi-ingredient Supplements

PREBLAST (Full-Stim)

Pre Blast is an ultra-concentrated full-stim pre-workout formula that seems to do it all! It doesn’t just combine more ingredients than most pre-workout options, it delivers the right high-quality ingredients to support the energy, strength, and power to sustain you throughout your entire workout. This formula includes:

  • Citrulline Malate, a non-essential amino acid that metabolizes into L-arginine which produces more nitric oxide than other types of arginine.
  • Creatine monohydrate, which plays a critical role in energy production necessary to fuel your body’s cells. Numerous studies have shown that creatine supplementation may help athletes increase the power, strength, and mass of the skeletal muscle.
  • CarnoSyn – the same proprietary form of beta-alanine in a single-ingredient formulation.
  • 300 mg of caffeine for its ability to increase energy and mental alertness as well as improve endurance.
  • Other key ingredients that increase metabolism and enhances your body's absorption process so you benefit fully from the pre-workout formula, includes AstraGin™, and a dose of B vitamins for increased energy and red blood cell production.

nitroVEX™ 

nitroVEX™ is a high-stimulant, pre-workout pill that contains 10 scientifically formulated ingredients in the correct forms and doses to support a powerful workout.

“The newest and strongest of all our pre-workouts, this is more of the ‘hyperfocused’ type of stimulant-based pre-workout that Max Muscle carries,” Mayol explained.

He uses NitroVEX on days when he trains large muscle groups like the legs, back, and chest. “Not to mention, the motivation feeling can last as long as 4-5 hours so if you’re about to have a day of fitness, this can take care of your whatever workouts you have lined up for the day,” he continued.

The NitroVEX formula Includes a synergistic and properly dosed nitric oxide boosting ingredients like ultra-pure L-Citrulline, L-Arginine, in addition to Quercetin, Resveratrol. Exciting new research has shown that resveratrol upregulates eNOS mRNA expression resulting in enhanced NO production and playing a pivotal role in vasoprotection. Furthermore, essential vitamins like Vitamin C, Riboflavin, Niacin, Vitamin B6, and a unique form of Chelated Magnesium Glycinate to help increases the bioavailability and support of the optimal NO production and physiological benefits.

nitroVEX™ was specifically designed to optimize pump and vascularity, promote efficient blood flow for ATP energy production, nutrient delivery, and muscle recovery, in addition to providing antioxidant and performance benefits.

Devina Medinas, 23, an athlete through Max Muscle Nutrition in Walnut Creek, Calif., said NitroVEX gives her what she needs to keep going. “After a long day of work and I am feeling short on energy, I take NitroVEX to keep me going. I’m very alert and focused for each set. It has been a useful aid it to help me maintain a full-time job and consistent workout schedule.”
