Dear Maximuscle,
I have always been a fitness enthusiast but my body shape has never really changed much. I used to go an entire day without eating and I am sure that I am not the only one. But when I got home I would be starving and eat anything that was convenient e.g. crisps, sandwiches, salad, vegetable and fruit. Although most of these were healthy foods, the main thing my body was lacking was protein.
Firstly, I starved my body all day, I never felt hungry and my metabolism was very slow so when I ate I would feel bloated quickly and would put on weight, still exercising but my shape never changed.
I have now learnt that you need to understand how eating regularly every two to three hours speeds up your metabolism. I now try to have at least five or six meals a day. With each meal I have to have one portion of protein (i.e tuna, mackerel, salmon, chicken, turkey, or ham). I have a portion of brown rice normally with chicken or turkey a day in the afternoon for energy, and vary my vegetables always. With fish, I like to have salad or fresh beetroot.
This sounds like a lot of meat or fish to take in regularly throughout the day, and it was (and sometimes still is) for me as I get bored of plain old food. This is where Maximuscle come to the rescue.
We all know that protein is essential to build and retain muscle and to get in a nice defined body shape. As soon as you miss a meal or a meal without protein you are destroying all the hard work you put in at the gym and you start losing muscle strength and tone and can go backwards.
So I learnt of Maximuscle products as I came across their website, I registered for their newsletter and now read about their products on a regular basis. Also, they sell the products at my local gym club so I recognised this product beforehand.
I read about whey powder as a protein supplement and I started off buying a cheap brand from my local health shop. I will
say that I was put off buying a big tub of Maximuscle in the gym as I felt intimidated by men looking at me laughing and
thinkingwhy is she buying that? What is she trying to do, bulk up?
No I just wanted a protein supplement to maintain my
muscle growth and strength. We should not have to feel this way but I know I am not the only one who thinks like this and we
all know its true. I therefore carried on using the cheap whey powder as an extra protein supplement three times a day or just
when I had fruit as one of my meals as a protein portion or at night to maintain muscle when sleeping.
I was finding after a month or so that this product was really upsetting my stomach and made me feel bloated so I thought ok I read about Maximuscle all the time I will go into the shop and buy one and forget this little cheap mini tub I have been buying and ignore what others think around me. I came home with Promax which is virtually lactose free and will not cause stomach upsets.
This powder was heaven for me for a number of reasons:
After using this product for a while I noticed Promax Extreme being advertised and was again a
bit nervous trying this as it does say on the tubfor serious muscle and strength gains.
However this does not mean that
you'll bulk up as I thought initially. It just contains better ingredients and I found it even gentler on my stomach. My
favourite product yet!
This powder was heaven for me for a number of reasons' Jelena StojkovicMaximuscle Customer
I went on holiday recently and I didn't fancy the pressure of having to prepare or buy five to six meals a day plus having protein powder on top. So, I tried the Promax Diet which I would definitely recommend.
I had a normal breakfast in the morning and than Promax Diet in mid-morning. I had a normal lunch and then Promax Diet again mid-afternoon followed by a normal evening meal. It was quick and easy to mix with water and has all the nutrition you need in one, carbohydrate, protein and the usual ingredients to speed up metabolism. It did fill me up for 3 hours until my next meal. I was afraid of liquid food making me hungry for snacks but it did not and was great. Another great tasting one, proper milkshake taste.
I will mention that I have tried the Maximuscle bars as meal replacements on the go and also took a few on holiday for travelling. Again these are really filling. Ever had a craving for a chocolate brownie? Then have a Cyclone bar! Not only does it contain muscle-building ingredients it is the best tasting food bar I have tried yet but you get the benefits and satisfy your tastebuds too.
Thank you
Jelena Stojkovic
When we were really depleted of energy, which was usually just after lunch we consumed a Viper Extreme bar and with no exaggeration, we felt we had a new lease of life and the afternoon part of the ride was made a lot easier, even in the heat. I would recommend them to anyone taking part in endurance events. I am considering taking part in an Ironman triathlon next year where good nutrition is as vital as the training itself and at least I now have the confidence that for that particular part of my training I won't have to look anywhere else other than Maximuscle.
Best wishes
Carole ClarkeYou can say I've been obsessed with my body since after leaving high school. I was a chubby teenager, loved food and mums fry ups. A look in the mirror one morning told me I had to do something, I looked terrible!
So, off to the sports centre and the cardio machines. I was 19, I had no direction in my life. I thought, go to the gym, work out, eat less and I'll be thin. All I wanted to be was thin. Muscles never came in to it. Six months on I had lost the excess weight but still not firm - now I wanted muscles.
Without sports nutrition products I don't think I would have confidence in believing I could achieve my goals.' IdrisMaximuscle believer
After ten years I have just discovered the world of sports nutrition products. I am eating regularly, all the right foods, cut down my cardio to 20 mins per training day and increased my weight training. Funny that 9 yrs ago I wanted to lose weight now I want to put weight on, specifically muscle.
A week or so ago I got some Progain, strawberry flavour, tastes really nice. I use this after every workout and take a scoop on the days I'm not working out. I've noticed I can shift heavier weights, weights I could not shift say a month or so ago. I'm improving all the time. I'm including Promax in my diet to repair the muscle damage, later I'm including Cyclone. Thermobol is another product I'm including to keep the excess fat off, fat I have been unable to shift for a decade.
Without sports nutrition products I don't think I would have confidence in believing I could achieve my goals this year. Of course, included with taking products is a sensible balanced diet and workout regime, all of which I have found on Maximuscle.com.
I now believe when I go to the gym or take my nutrition, it's pulling me nearer my goal, thanks to Maximuscle and a bit of dedication from me.
Believe in yourself and Maximuscle.
Best regards

Dear Maximuscle
Just a quick note to touch base with you following our return from our expedition to Kyrgystan.
The expedition was a success. Between the five of us we managed five world-class new routes, one of which was on an unclimbed peak. We also achieved the coveted second ascent of Kyzyl Asker (19,030 feet) by the previously unclimbed north face.
Everyone in the team was impressed by the performance of Maximuscle products, particularly Promax Meal, Viper, and Viper Extreme. We found them invaluable for compactness, balanced nutrition and rapid recovery.
Matt HallsKyzyl Asker Expedition
Since using Maximuscle products I have found them to be excellent at helping me train harder, recover quicker and race at an intensity at which I am not normally able to do. The sessions I am doing are a lot harder and I have really seen the benefits in my racing results.
After the European 100-kilometre championships I was straight back into training after one easy day. This was surprising, as it usually takes me at least a week before I am back training again.
That was due to using RecoverMax and Iron Kick along with Ache Free immediately after the race. I also kept using Viper and RecoverMax the day after the race.
The other international athletes I'm training with are really struggling with the altitude and the hard training and they cannot believe how fast I recover.
Maximuscle products have proved to be invaluable to me and have had a significant role in helping me achieve my ambitions of international success. I can honestly say that Maximuscle products are the best I have tried plus they taste great which is an added bonus. Maximuscle is the best sports nutrition company in the world. I have recommended it to everyone who is serious about training and competing in their sport. I have told other athletes to give Maximuscle products a go because they will not be disappointed.

I have been training now for the past 3 years. Before this I was 9 stone and used to get bullied quite a bit on how skinny I was. My confidence was low and the women wouldn't so much as bat an eyelid at me. I was shy and quiet and as a result of this was always reluctant to mix with new people. Then one day I had enough of this skinny shy character that was staring back at me every time I was in the mirror so I decided to join the local gym.
My confidence is high and I'm no longer shy and have loads of friends.' Marc JenkinsMaximuscle user
At first I was training without taking any products whatsoever and found that although I was aching I was gaining very little if any weight. So I spoke to the lady at the local nutrition shop and she recommended Creatamax Extreme . Within 3 months, I started noticing gains in size and strength. I was having people coming up to me saying that I was starting to look fit. T-shirts that were at first baggy on me were starting to fill more. Three years on I am still training taking Cyclone and Progain every day. I'm now 13st 2lbs.
My confidence is high and I'm no longer shy and have loads of friends. I have no trouble mixing and get a lot of attention from the women, all thanks to hard work in the gym, dedication and Maximuscle products. I wouldn't recommend anything other than Maximuscle products..
Marc JenkinsMy name is Jahmaine Reimann and I have been training for over two years now. I started when I was 13 as a medium-built kid. I had natural muscle definition because I always had played sports. I kept a steady 65kg in my first year, although when I went to boarding school, I was 70kg... still training hard every second day.
My friend James Downing introduced me to Progain and eventually encouraged me to purchase some, so I did. I have been taking ZMA, Pump Up, Promax and Progain for 4 weeks now, keeping a tight training schedule, and I simply could not believe the results. I gained 4kg (9 pounds) in about 4-5 weeks and my muscles are now highly defined, hard and full.
I could only lift 15kg on the curls, but after taking a mixture of ZMA and Vanadyl I am now able to lift 25 to 30kg. I am amazed by the sheer sufficiency and effectiveness of the Maximuscle products, and I have taken a lot of dietery supplements during these two years, though none matches Maximuscle.
Keep doing what you do...
Yours in training,
Jahmaine ReimannCongratulations on your new Cyclone Bars. They taste great! I have been munching on the Promax Meal bars for months now (love the chocolate ones with a glass of cold milk).Nicole Bremner
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for helping me to improve the definition of my body. After purchasing 2 tubs of the Creatamax Extreme I have gained 1 stone in muscle mass already, thats is after a month of taking it. I am definitely noticing the benefits of the product and I now feel more confident about the way I look. Once again thank you Maximuscle, I'd reccommend your product to anyone.
AdamI recently started taking Maximuscle products and I am amazed at the fast results I have achieved. I've been working out for around 1 year now and I seemed to hit a flat spot in my training with little or no results showing. I quickly lost interest and did not go to the gym for 4 months or so. After moving into a new place with an old mate who convinced me to join the gym again, I was sceptical, but off we went and joined.
I was 86 kg in weight. We purchased some Cyclone, I was amazed at the fast results we were achieving. With the correct diet, hard training and Cyclone I gained around 1 kg a week and I'm still gaining muscle each week. We are now 1 month and 2 weeks into training with Cyclone and Promax extreme and I still cant believe it when I look in the mirror.
Morne HumanI think you might be underestimating the strength of your supplements!!! I went to university on a rugby scholarship when I was 18 years old and at 6ft 4in and 16-16 ¼ stone I was quite big for my age. When though, I was playing for the Division 1 Rugby Club I was at, it was clear I needed to get bigger and stronger. That's when I began to take Maximuscle supplements and since then, I haven't looked back.
By my third year of university, I was around 17 ¾ - 18 stone, still training heavy and similar to what I had been doing for years, i.e. the 3 day a week split. I then met this person in the gym, he was big and for the first time I had seen some someone train who was larger than I was! Being one find out how he got that size instead of getting jealous, I approached him. He gave me a few worthwhile hints, but he said that if I really wanted to know the best way was to actually train like him. So he took me under his wing and I became his training partner.
His training programme was totally different from what I had experienced. The rep ranges were higher, there were more exercises per body part and we were using a six-day split:-
Then repeat, with a rest day on the seventh day. I know what you are thinking, OVERTRAINING! I was worried too. These are the sort of programmes I've read and heard about which I thought were used only by competitive bodybuilders, who, as we all know, don't necessarily just use supplements.
I obviously wasn't going to go down that road due to drug testing in my sport and more significantly because I value one of the most important things in my life, my health! Plus, doing a Sports Science with Biology Degree, I wanted to accomplish my goals naturally, without the fear of waiting to be diagnosed with heart disease or renal failure!
So I decided to persist and see what happened. I made sure I was sleeping well, eating properly and taking Maximuscle supplements religiously, i.e. Creatamax Extreme, Promax or Progain and Protrient.
I was noticing some awesome results. My body fat was going down, my muscles were becoming more defined and I was getting bigger. On top of the weight training, I was doing sprint and cardio sessions in the morning too, because I was so confident that the Maximuscle supplements I was on would stop me from burning out.
They did! Currently at the age of 21 years, I am not 6ft 5in, have a 52 inch chest, 18.6 inch arms, have around 30 inch thighs and weigh in at about 18 stone 10 pounds. Not only am I well built now, but I am also fit, coming 3rd out of the whole squad in a fitness test at the professional rugby club I am now at.
This is proof, in my opinion, that you can push yourself harder than you realise and with the aid of these terrific supplements, you are more likely to reach your genetic potential faster and safer than ever before. Thank you for producing such wonderful products. I pity those who use anything else.
L AndrewsJust to say WOW! I started in the gym a year ago and three months into it I had a motorcycle accident and hadn't been in for about ten months due to a back injury and the toned muscle quickly slipped into flab. I purchased Cyclone about a month ago and got back into training in the house due to low self esteem and in that month I have been training hard and sticking to your supplement which is chocolate flavour and very tasty. I'm stronger and bigger now than I was ten months ago and starting back the gym and feel great with myself now that I can wear the tighter tops and the like. I had never tried any other supplement before but just to say great job guys. My recovery time is a lot better and strength most days is surprising me.
Robbie BruceI recently purchased some Promax and I have really noticed a difference in my physique! It was affordable, easy to use, and a nice consistency and it didn't taste bad either :-). I am looking forward to using some of your other products and hopefuly they will perform as well as the Promax did. Thanks and keep up the good work!

Dear Maximuscle
I would like to put straight some of the Maximuscle non-believers. For the last 6 years I have been weight training using only natural means and although 17 stones in weight, I could only bench press 100kg and dead lift 130kg. These numbers have stayed the same for years until recently when I discovered Maximuscle. In just 10 weeks of using Cyclone and CLA my bench press has risen to 135-140kg and my deadlift to 200kg, and both are still rising fast. I am also fitter, faster and more confident. But Maximuscles good work does not stop there. I have written and asked several questions, and every time, within a day I get a full and unbiased answer. Thank you for all your help.
Steven RayMy very first venture into a gym was a few years ago. It wasn't very smooth or sophisticated in the fact that I managed to fall off the treadmill and crush myself under a massive bench press. However, over the months after that day I have learned how my body responds and adapts and also my physical limits.
There came a time when I wanted something more from my training so I turned to supplements for these results. Flicking through a muscle magazine I encountered many pages of men with biceps the size of small planets claiming they gained _X_ number of pounds in _X_ number of weeks with this company's product. These were obviously unrealistic claims by profit-minded firms so I looked for a more reliable product. I finally came across a protein blend called Promax.
I looked at the description; high quality protein, easily digestible and improves performance. These all sounded like no nonsense claims. I read what the professional (Robert Terry) had to say. He basically said that this was a great tasting and mixing protein blend that helped him get the results he wanted.
Noticing the money back guarantee I quickly ordered some from an internet shop. When it arrived it surpassed all my expectations and more. At first I was dubious about any supplements but you have changed my mind. It was like it said, great tasting and mixing and gave you results you could see and feel quickly, My 1 rep maximum for bench press and squat rocketed.
Gaining confidence with supplements I got some of your Creatamax capsules. The strength I gained with them was also unbelievable. Thank you Maximuscle, for developing incredible products.
Geoffrey BushAfter stacking Promax with Cyclone, the results where fantastic. Within four weeks I had doubled the weights I was using and was converting fat to muscle at an incredible rate. It has also increased my confidence not only in the gym but in normal everyday life. Thanks to Maximuscle for making this possible, if anyone out there is thinking about supplements, look no further.
Glyn PritchardAs a creatine user in the past, I alway used a competitor's products which are expensive. I stopped bodybuilding when my wife and I had a baby girl (lack time to start with) within a year I had lost 2 stone and another one a year later. I decided to have a go at archery as a sport which I have quickly become good at because I have retained a lot of strength still, but I'm going to start bodybuilding again so I have for now purchased some Creatamax Extreme which rocks. My muscles feel full and I'm slowly gaining weight again (yeah). I'm looking at trying your Cyclone in the near future because I have now been converted to your products. Thank you for making me feel good about myself again.
Lewis HoldstockAround the start of last season I unfortunately suffered some ligament damage that resulted in me being sidelined for the rest of the rugby season. Over the summer period I was advised by a friend to use Creatamax capsules to catch up on my fitness levels. Since this time I have seen a massive improvement in myperformance and become a regular user of Maximuscle products.
Thanks Maximuscle.
Mark AlbinsonI've never felt so good in all my life. I have tried Progain, Promax, Cyclone, Creatamax Extreme, GH Kick, Viper Turbo, Viper and RecoverMax. I get results every time. I would NEVER use any other brand. Great stuff!! Keep it up.
Chris LovegroveI use Promax as my constant training companion as everyone trying to build up needs a really good protein. I often use Creatamax Extreme , this is by far the best of the Creatine powders I have used, I could not believe it the first time I tried it, I felt I could have gone round and done my whole weights program twice. I was able to put up all of my weights within a week of starting on it.
Before I forget, I guess in the last 3 years I must have put on 35 pounds of muscle, not bad for someone who is 5' 7" with a starting weight of 10 stone!
Adam GrayJust want to say a big thank you to all the staff of Maximuscle for all your hard work and dedication to making sure that your customers recieve the best service possible, as well as the best nutritional products on the market. I am now in great shape due to using your products and actually enjoy my training instead of finding it a chore due to the fact that I am having excellent results from taking Promax Meal, plus Cyclone. I am amazed at the rate of growth that I have had just taking these supplements, and at 40 years old but looking about 28 I have to be well pleased.
Once again thanks.
Adam BojangOh my God, how good is Progain and Creatamax 300! I bought the special offer on the Internet, started using the products as stated in the e-mail, and I put on 6-7 pounds of muscle as well as increasing my strength. I'm only 5' 6" and now weigh 12 stone and can press 80kg. There's still a bit of work to get the chisled effect but boy I look much better now than I did before Christmas.
Thanks!
Paul McWilliamJust a short note to say how much I love your protein products. The Promax Meal bars are the best in the business! I have tried many different protein powders, but Promax is the best tasting and the best value for the money. The Promax Meal bars are also top rated, in my opinion, and someone who has tried other protein bars will agree with me.
Harry PapadopoulosBeing a new customer and user of your website for the last few weeks I have seen amazing changes in my health, attitude, and physique in such a short period of time. Your advice is simple - straightforward and to the point instead of the rubbish advice that both I and a number of my friends have been listening to over a period of years with no end results whatsoever.
James CreenGreat site! Found you today and spent hours inwardly digesting loads of info on all manor of subjects. I even bought myself a box of Promax Meal bars. It made for great reading, learning, and gave me lots of new and interesting info, and tips. Thank you Maximuscle!
Keep up the good work!.Will be on again soon !
Dominic RyderI tried the Immune Support, coupled with Promax, and in just under three weeks, I've increased my bench by nearly 30lbs! Most of my other weight training exercises have improved too. As for the stress, I do feel a lot calmer and not tensed up all the time, as my job is very demanding. I train 3 times a week at 7.00am to 8.15am.
Thanks for the advice!
Shaun LaceyJust to let you know that I've been using Thermobol with some great results. In three months, my waist measurement has dropped from 42 to 36 inches.
Thanks,
Roger ShawI used Creatamax Extreme for 2 months and the results were exceptional. I became the strongest rugby player in my year at school. My bench press added 25 kg in less than 1 month. Goals which I thought were impossible became a reality and it was all because of Creatamax Extreme. I also added nearly 8lbs to my bodyweight in a few weeks and it was muscle. I am very pleased with Maximusle and I am ready to begin using Viper during the playing season.
David GrahamAlthough I have used other supplements I have been using Maximuscle supplements for about a year now after getting back into training about 2 years ago. There is no question they have helped me improve my physique way beyond what I would have done without them. Fellow gym members have all commented on my progress, some of those understand supplements, some don't. I have used your Promax, Creatamax Extreme (amazing!), Pump-Up and Thermobol. I think they have all been excellent (even if the Pump-Up did make me go red as a beetroot for 20 mins!)
Yours in training also,
Davis AndrewsWhen I first came onto the sponsorship programme at Maximuscle, I had virtually no immune system and with the help of your supplements, I have been able to get so healthy that I am starting to look at building my competition programme back to the size it was prior to ill-health. Doctors did not think I would every be strong enough again to cope with the workload associated with racing multiple events and I think I have managed to prove them wrong! Thanks a million.
Many thanks again for the help and support you have given me at Maximuscle and I look forward to winning more stuff next year!
All the best
Sarah Bailey MBEI would like to take this opportunity to say how effective I have found your products. Through a well structured training regime (gym three times per week), sensible diet and use of the fat burning products I have lost a total of four stone over five months as well as greatly increasing my general fitness.
Yours, now committed to training,
Dave FergusDuring October you kindly forwarded a large quantity of complimentary Viper and RecoverMax for the British Army Rugby team who were to participate in the Singapore International 7s.
As someone from the 'old school' not brought up on sports nutrition products, I was surprised to see the advantages felt and widely spoken by the players. They all were 'hooked' on your products within a short time of arriving in Singapore and will without doubt continue to use them in future. Thank you very much for your support.
Yours sincerely
Lt Col W F ButtI purchased a container of Viper Turbo last Monday after some considerable consideration and reading about the product. I will admit I was very cautious about using a supplement. However, my running training seemed to be going from bad to worse. Within two days of taking the capsules I went for my usual 6 mile lunchtime run and was shocked to find that it was the best run I had had for sometime. I repeated the same run the next day and again found a remarkable improvement in my focus and sustainability and my usual longer run at the weekend 10 miles also showed improvement with less fatigue. The main area I have noticed improvements is my egs not feeling so tired when running up hills and no real tiredness in my legs following a run.
I am now taking the recommended dose in preparation for the Windsor Half Marathon on Sunday and am looking forward to see the results. Great product keep up the good work.
Dave CouldridgeJust thought I'd say a word about my training experiences. Until 3 months ago, I was a keen runner for 5 years, with good stamina and tone. What I didn't have was real muscle. During secondary school I tried using free weights - with the problem that I was not really sure that I was doing the right thing. I overtrained massively (sometimes every single day, without rest days), exercised the same muscles repeatedly on consecutive days, neglected to work others, resulting in decreased performance, muscle loss, lack of motivation, and eventually ending in joint and ligament stress.
After 1/2 a year of low-level training and recovery, I decided to start again.
With the help of a personal trainer I created a new program. My gym, LA Fitness, sells your supplements and publications. I started a 3-day split, with 2 sessions of CV a week. Reading your fitness advice was a total revelation for me! By eating more, training less, but harder and smarter, my results have rocketed. In the first week of my new nutrition plan (I now eat 7 times a day), my running time increased by a whopping 2.5 minutes! Simply because before I would eat 3 square meals and nothing in the afternoon, to prepare myself for exercise. As for my muscles - after 3 months of training (no sessions missed), my neck, back, and arms are wider, my abs bigger and well defined, legs are stronger and thicker, and skin tighter and firmer. I'm not in the 'zone' yet, but it takes time! And my progress so far excites me to see what is possible.
So, to anyone who's started out and feels weak, don't give up! Ever! You'll thank yourself in the long run.
Also, I have to say your attitude to advertising is extremely sensible. There is clearly so much bad advice and trashy products out there - one week my gym was out of Cyclone, so I opted for a replacement protein drink. I was very interested to read the ingredients - it contained skimmed milk and considerable amounts of sugars - when you compare that to something like Promax, there's no competition. Also, it tasted horrendous. I think I'm addicted to your Promax Meal Bars now!
Mmm...chocolate :)
Many, many thanks,
DanP.S: Get USMD out soon!
