Recovery Sports Supplements Review

Recovery Sports Supplements Review Author: Technical Panel 26/02/2005

Below we asked three trainers their views and opinions from the following supplements SAN's Bolt, MaxiMuscle's  RecoverMax and CNP's Pro-Recover. These people have been training and using sport supplements for over two years.

Question Before us we have a selection of the most popular used recovery supplements, that you have all tried and used and you wish to share with us your views and opinions.  

Weight training - its hard. It tires you out doesnt it. What people are crying out for these days is superior recovery enhancing products. Thats what our panel have been testing for the past four or five weeks. Do people really need a separate product aimed at recover enhancement?

Answer Jason - Yeah it makes total sense. The window of opportunity after your workout is your biggest growth and recovery point. You need to get the muscles recovering and growing as fast as humanly possible. Anything that gives you that advantage is well worth it.

Mike - Totally agree. You need to get the muscle repaired and your energy level, blood profile levels of hormones up and stop catabolic hormones dead in their track before they absolutely ruin your progress for good!

Phil - I think they are probably the most important supplement you will ever take - that and protein. You wont recover or make progress without a quality recovery drink. Its as simple as that.

Question Ok, which one did you use and what results exactly can somebody seem to gain from using a post workout recovery drink?
Answer Jason - I used the Bolt. It has the unique cell duplicator system in it that promotes hypertrophy. Its like the Holy Grail of bodybuilding. Not only do you repair damaged fibres - but you actually build whole new ones.

Mike - I used Maxi-Muscles RecoverMax which is a great nutrient rich repair and growth product.

Phil - I used the Pro-Recover by chemical which again is a very specially designed recovery and growth formula that is very impressive. Its designed to spike your insulin levels through the roof and drive quality whey proteins and glucose into the muscle cells and fast.

 

Question

And how did they taste?

Answer Jason - Fruity! Very fruity. Nice. Refreshing after a workout.

Mike - This was a good tasting milky drink that was sweet but not overpoweringly so.

Phil - Very nice. Like a sweet milkshake. Great 'cos thats like what your body craves after a workout isnt it.

 

Question Tell me about how well they mix?
Answer Jason - Instantised. You add water and its mixed. As simple as that.

Mike - Pretty well. I put it in a blender. I think with the quality of the ingredients then its bound to mix really well. No lumps or anything.

Phil - I just used a fork to mix mine. No problems either. Pretty easy to mix. Its got to be after a workout right.

Question What type of consistency are they?
Answer Jason - Like a fruit water drink. Its not a shake.

Mike - Like a thin milkshake.

Phil - Yeah like a shake - but a bit thicker, not quite as thick as a Pro-Mr or anything.

 

Question What results did you personally experience from using these products for a month?
Answer Jason - Better muscle pumps. Less sore the next day. And I was putting on steady good quality weight. I felt more hydrated too.

Mike - I definately had more energy after training and I felt much much better the next time I trained the same bodypart when I had had a RecoverMax after my session.

Phil - I agree with Mike. Better recovery was definatley noticeable. I like the way it made you feel more pumped and better for your next workout.
