Product Trial - Maximuscle Maxi-GAKIC
Policeman Paul, who I occasionally train with, has been wanting to try Gakic since its release so we decided to go halves on a pot.
I've probably used it half a dozen times before training now and have noticed no noticeable difference, at least not that I'd attribute to Maxi-Gakic. I've certainly been improving, but sessions have been good whether supplementing Maxi-Gakic before or not. In fact I'm confident my progression of late has been down to my recovery rate - helped largely through eating more food, now that I'm not dieting, but also through careful supplementation at the right times. For example, I think Growth Matrix has helped no end. Reflex Growth Matrix provides the perfect post workout shake that's convenient enough that I can down a serving immediately after a workout.
Paul's not quite as big a sceptic as me and has said he's had good sessions when using Maxi-Gakic, but doesn't warrant spending the money for the results. Paul said he's more likely to stick to preferred options, such as Maximuscle Creatamax Extreme (formerly 8000GL).
I've never been one for pre-workout formula's as generally I feel no motivational advantage for having taken them - I'm usually up for an intense workout anyway. I try to spend my money on recovery aids, which I see of far more benefit. So, the only thing I'd ordinarily take pre-workout may be a protein shake or a handful of BCAA's.
Reflex's new Tri-Matrix Evolution is part of the new breed of pre-workout formula's which is a bit of both, mental buzz + recovery aid, so this may be the next product trialled.
Please feel free to add your supplement reviews.
Regards,
MATT
