Buy iForce Maximize from Best Price Nutrition for $29.99

Let’s be honest: most sequels suck — especially if the original was good. It’s a problem of expectations: people expect every sequel to be better than the original, and when the original was good, it’s usually not practicable. And the original, with it’s lack of proprietary blends, was good — game-changing, write-home-to-mom good. So good you might have to take it off the pedestal I have it on to read it.

Then, it left. Quite suddenly, and without much explanation, it was being “reformulated.” I was distraught — disconsolate. After Maximize, the other pre-workouts were afterthoughts (except this one, but that’s a post for a different day).

For two months I languished in the doldrums of NO-Xplodes, SuperPump250s (venerable, but unexciting), and White Floods; wallowed in the mundanities of NO Shotguns and Hemo Rages; and weathered the lassitude bestowed by NaNO Vapors, Dark Rages, and Xpand Xtreme Pumps. Even Jack3d, once a personal favorite, couldn’t fill the gaping void Maximize left in my pre-workout life. I was without, and it was awful: there was no magic tub to open and scoop into a shaker bottle while knowing categorically an amazing workout was to follow.

Then came Maximize V2, and thus, my love affair began anew. (Yes, that last sentence rhymed, and no, I’m not changing it.)

What’s Different?

They mercilessly trimmed the fat in Maximize V2. I’ve been ceaselessly beating my drum about how BCAAs/glutamine are redundant, how you don’t need novel forms of creatine (monohydrate is more than sufficient), and how arginine is a shameless scam: they’re all gone. I feel validated; I kind of like these iFORCE guys.

Notable additions include agmatine, beta-alanine, and creatine monohydrate. You can read about agmatine here, and lack of beta-alanine, according to this video, was the biggest oversight in original Maximize. Furthermore, the doses of the retained ingredients went up, the servings per bottle went up as well, and the price of the product ($29.99) went down.

There is one flaw I cannot leave unaddressed: Maximize V2 regressed into a proprietary blend product. This isn’t a flaw in effectiveness, however, and is really only an objection in the moral sense on my part. The formula got simpler and the dosages went up, so the usual reason for using a proprietary blend — hiding the fact that your product sucks behind way too many ingredients — isn’t being employed.

As with the original, Maximize V2 is only available in one flavor: raspberry lemonade. I find the flavor to be slightly better than marginal, and I’ve heard mixed reviews from customers. Still, we don’t drink these products for the flavor(s), so suck it up. It’s not unpalatable by any means; it’s kind of like a knock-off Country Time raspberry lemonade. I was also told a second flavor is in the works, tentatively named “jungle juice.” For the record, I am tentatively very tentative about that flavor. The last time I had jungle juice was in college, and I don’t think I remember what it tastes like, exactly — nor do I remember much of anything from that evening.

…And the big difference?

Oh yes, one other thing — one tiny little tidbit I neglected to mention: Maximize V2 packs a stimulant wallop of epic proportions. All hyperbole aside, it kicks — hard. Like slap-in-the-face hard. Like battering-ram hard. Like caffeine + methyl synephrine + geranium synergism ecstasy hard. (And yes, that was without the hyperbole.)

The inside “scoop”

I was able to unearth a quote from an iFORCE rep about Maximize V2:

“ill put it this way:

-creatine dose is a full dose at 2 scoops

-enough taurine to get rid of back pumps

-geranium is dosed like Jack3d on steroidzz

-caffeine isnt over 200mg/serving

-tyrosine is dosed the same as the original (750mg)

hope that helps!”

That’s about as close to debunking the proprietary blend as you’re going to get, and it’s pretty reassuring to boot.

So there you have it. If you liked the original, you’ll love this. If you didn’t like the original, you’ll love this. If you have a pulse and are fond of exercise, you’ll probably love this, too. Given the recent infatuation with the undead — à la Twilight and True Blood, among others — if you lack a pulse, but not necessarily enthusiasm for the gym, you’ll like it as well. (We don’t discriminate here at Best Price Nutrition.)

Buy iForce Adipoxil from Best Price Nutrition for $24.99

Just as Jack3d’s retail price caused an upheaval in the pricing structure of pre-workout powders, iFORCE’s Adipoxil is turning the fat burner category’s baseline pricing upside down. 120 capsules for $24.99 is unheard of, and doesn’t come with a dubious dosing schedule as seen on many similar products, e.g., “take 3-4 capsules, 3 times per day.” With a maximum consumption of 4 capsules per day - many people only needing 2 per day, at least initially - Adipoxil is perhaps the best balance of price and quality in the fat-loss category. Even if you aggressively dosed it at 4 capsules right out of the gate, you would still get a 30-day supply for less than a dollar a day ($.83, to be exact), and the blend appears to be more than on par with many of the less affordable products, too. If you need to iFORCE yourself to lose some weight for the impending summer swimsuit season, look no further (but please overlook my egregious pun).

Adipoxil is based off of three matrices (iFORCE is really big on matrices nowadays, take a look at any of their products): uncoupling metabolic adipose destruction (UMAD) complex, thermophoric mental incinerator (TMI), and lipolytic oxidation protocol. As to why the first two have acronyms but the third one does not, or why the first is a complex as well as a matrix and the third is both a protocol and a matrix, is beyond me. I also cannot read the first one, “UMAD”, with mentally answering, “yes, I am mad, damnit.” Sometimes this industry just leaves me scratching my head. Does this product come with a secret decoder ring, like in Christmas Story? “Be sure to… take your… Adipoxil?” Alas, the matrices do have potent ingredients, despite their names. I’m sure they meant well.

I like my matrices as compounds AND protocols!

The first matrix is the UMAD complex, which consists of 3,3 diiodo L-thyronine, 3,5 diiodo L-thyronine. This compound can be referred to as T2, whereas the main form of thyroid hormone in your body is T3 (triiodo L-thyronine). Although some people have referred to T2 as a prohormone, it is very much an active thyroid hormone (albeit one that your body doesn’t produce or use on its own). Here’s a list of effects that thyroid hormones have in the body:

• Increased oxygen consumption (metabolic rate)
• Increased thermogenesis (heat production)
• Increased number of beta-adrenergic receptors in the heart, skeletal muscle, adipose tissues, and lymphocytes (these receptors bind fat-mobilizing hormones)
• Increased sensitivity to catecholamines (fat-mobilizing, fight-or-flight hormones)
• Increased number of red blood cells and increased oxygen delivery
• Increased lypolysis (breakdown of fat)
• Increased liver glycogen breakdown
• Increased liver glucose production
• Increased intestinal glucose absorption
• Increased protein turnover
• Decreased cholesterol levels

Many of these effects make thyroid hormones very beneficial in fat-loss efforts. The second matrix is the thermophoric mental incinerator. The main component of this is Advantra Z, which is a patented extract of bitter orange (citrus aurantium). Specifically, it contains the adrenergic amines synephrine, N-methyltyramine, hordenine, octopamine, tyramine. It is touted to do the following:

• Stimulate thermogenesis
• Reduce weight
• Increase lean muscle mass to total body mass
• Improve athletic performance
• Suppress appetite

There is some research showing that these ingredients can work in synergy with one another, i.e., this amine blend would be superior to any similar dosage of one of them alone. It is worth noting, too, that I’m unaware of anyone else using Advantra Z in a fat burner right now, so it certainly is novel and anecdotally it definitely “feels” different than most other products I’ve used. It is not a jittery fat burner by any means. The company with the patent on Advantra Z attributes this to the amines used not being readily able to cross the blood brain barrier, and thus the effects are exerted more in the peripheral nervous system/tissue than in the brain. Additionally, the amines preferentially stimulate the beta-3 adrenergic receptors with minimal impact on alpha 1,2 and beta 1,2 receptors, which means that Advantra Z increases the metabolic rate (thermogenesis) without affecting heart rate or blood pressure. There is also additional octopamine HCL, presumptively due to its strong affinity for, again, the beta-3 adrenergic receptor.

The final matrix is the lipolytic oxidation protocol. This section has perhaps the most “common” ingredients you might see in a product in this category, but that’s not to say that they’re bad. Rather, you might consider this section the “usual suspects”: cayenne pepper, raspberry ketones, caffeine anhydrous, chlorogenic acid (50% green coffee bean extract), fucoxanthin, and 10% yohimbine HCL. Just as the name implies, many of these ingredients are aimed at liberating and releasing free fatty acids to be used for energy (oxidized). The newcomer in the group might be chlorogenic acid (50% green coffee bean extract). Watch for this one to become more prevalent in the industry; it has some very interesting effects on blood sugar stabilization and preferential fatty acid oxidation (rather than glucose).

Green coffee beans: little known fat-loss weapon?

When I discuss fat burners, I have often said that it’s the indirect effects that ultimately allow you to burn fat: you will have more energy to train harder and thus burn more calories, your appetite will be suppressed so you will eat less calories, and the beneficial effects on mood may allow you to adhere to a diet plan because you don’t feel lethargic or deprived. Most “fat burners” don’t directly burn fat - it’s somewhat of a misnomer. Adipoxil, however, may be ready to turn this aspect of fat-loss on its head too. From feeling this stuff firsthand and seeing the synergy amongst the ingredients, I think it’s about as close as anyone has come to a true fat burner in the literal sense: something that directly oxidizes a greater amount of fatty acids than you would without. And at $24.99, just about everyone can use a bit of direct fatty acid oxidation this summer, don’t you think?

What is it? Here’s a write-up on the product from the iFORCE representative:

“iFORCE Nutrition’s newest innovation in performance enhancing designer anabolics. Protodrol was specifically engineered to maximize myotrophic (*Tim’s note: myotrophic - increasing the weight of muscle) activity resulting in notable changes to one’s physique faster than ever before. Protodrol marks the beginning of a new era of size, strength, recovery and endurance. You will experience rapid increases in muscle fullness and vascularity, while simultaneously reducing body fat.

The hypertropic (sic) (*Tim’s note: I’m not sure what he means here, hypertrophic wouldn’t seem to make sense either. Read it as side effects — or lack thereof) effects of Protodrol are extremely dry and lean because it cannot aromatize into estrogen. It has also been shown to have no progestinic activity. So with no exogenous estrogen or prolactin activity, concerns like gynecomastia, puffiness, or bloating won’t be a concern for even the most sensitive users! Plus, you see dramatic changes to energy levels, rate of fat loss, and a huge jump in libido!

Protodrol is extremely safe and is the only commercially available methylated compound that will not raise liver Bilirubin levels. Bilirubin, usually excreted in bile, is the pigment responsible for the yellowing of Jaundice and other liver ailments. Although no methylated product can claim zero liver toxicity, Protodrol is the closest of any product on the market.

Protodrol is the ideal prohormone for someone who is ready to step up to the level of designer anabolics, and wants to do so without worrying about side effects such as liver damage, gynecomastia, bloating, or testicular atrophy. Stacking Protodrol with your next cycle will increase your gains in size and strength, without adding to any of the other compound’s negative effects. Take your training and physique to the next level. Experience mind blowing pumps, intense weight gain, and massive strength gains in 4 weeks or less with Protodrol!”

Dosing protocol:

Running Protodrol on its own
Weeks 1-4(6): Protodrol @ 2/day - 1 pill every 12 hours, Testabolan V2 @ 4/day
Weeks 5-8(7-10): Reversitol @ 3/2/2/1, Testabolan V2 @ 4/day

Running Protodrol with a “base” (in this case, Bold200, Dymethazine could also be used for more advanced users)
Weeks 1-4: Bold200 @ 600-800mg/day - 1-2 pill spaced evenly throughout the day, Protodrol @ 2day(both pills taken 45-60 minutes pre-workout), Testabolan V2 @ 4/day
Weeks 5-8: Bold200 @ 600-800mg/day, Testabolan V2 @ 4/day
Weeks 9-12: Reversitol @ 3/2/2/1, Testabolan V2 @ 4/day

For the prohormone users out there, this one looks really promising, and we’re shipping it for free!

Final note: This product is only intended for male athletes over the age of 21. Don’t forget your liver support!
