Pump Fixx Product Details:

I hope by now, you've come to expect something different from Advanced Muscle Science A formula unlike all the other copycats on the market.  Something unique and truly eye-catching and intriguing.  We took our time to formulate new Pump Fixx - and for good reason! The pre-workout market for dietary supplements is congested with me-too, knock-off products that quite honestly bore us to tears.  The way we saw it, either we had to create something different and vastly more effective or simply not launch a product at all.  After round and round of prototypes, attempting to create Pump Fixx, we finally hit the jackpot.  One try of Pump Fixx and we know you will be hooked.  We’d be shocked if you don’t experience the most intense mega monster pumps, super strength augmentation, energy and workout performance ever felt before.  Having said that, let me tell you all about AMS’ new pre-workout Intensity Igniter – Pump Fixx.


Pump Fixx provides a trifecta of ingredients, targeting three precise pathways:  1)  Ignite your workout, both physically and mentally to provide the energy needed to maximize neurological and physiological performance.  2) Ramp up nitric oxide pathways to help maximize blood flow, mega monster pumps and 3)  Extend training time and intensity .

Ignition

Pump Fixx starts out with the AMS exclusive Halostachine, a compound also known as N-methylphenylethanolamine. This potent beta adrenergic agonist plays an integral role in kick starting the thermogenic pathways to maximize energy and fatty acid release. The next stimulant added for enhancement in energy and workout performance is caffeine.  Caffeine serves a number of functions in the Pump Fixx formula.  First and foremost is its ability to quickly increase energy. In the scientific realm, one study of particular interest was performed by Beck in 2006.  This study was done on 37 resistance-training men, and assesses some key parameters of strength.  The results were astounding.  Subjects consuming the caffeine had a 2.1% increase in 1 Rep Max Bench Press, simply from the acute administration of caffeine.  Additionally, the total volume of weight lifted had a very strong trend towards increasing.  In a review article done by Doherty, looking at a multitude of different studies – some very interesting findings were noted.  One marker known as the Rating of Perceived Exertion had a 5.6% improvement. Additionally, performance was increased by a jaw dropping 11.2%.  The research on caffeine goes on and on.  This supplement has a long-standing history and is well known for its potent abilities.  

Schizandra is one of the latest up and coming compounds you are guaranteed to hear more about in the days to come.  This potent plant contains a variety of actives (including schizandrols) that have very powerful properties.  Much of the research on schizandra comes out of Russia, including a mega review done in 2008.  Schizandra has shown time and time again to help increase working capacity.  Researchers such as Karo, Lazarev, Kokhanova and others have shown beneficial effects in this area typically on the magnitude of 20-40% increase in working capacity and physical force.  Aside from its effects on working capacity, Schizandra has shown to have other benefits in the areas of enduance, mental performance and even accuracy of movement.  With all this data, we simply had to add it into Pump Fixx to help maximize performance in this already powerul formula.

- If all that wasn’t enough, both beta-phenylethylamine and 1,3 dimethylpentylamine are also added.  These two compounds may help to increase norepinephrine, energy and workout performance by invoking energy inducing pathways.

Pump-Vasodilation  

- When you’re training, there’s a point when you know this workout has surpassed all others.  We’re talking about that moment in time when it feels like no more blood can possibly expand into your muscles – like a balloon about to pop.  Vascular grooves that create valleys in your skin.  This is where Arginine Alpha Ketogluturate (A-AKG) comes in to help maximize nitric oxide and exercise performance. Arginine is there for enhanced NO, protein synthesis and ammonia removal. Arginine also serves as a precursor for protein synthesis, an essential component of recovery from intense exercise.   

- Campbell’s group has recently evaluated the effects of Arginine AKG in adult trained men.    This protocol consisted of 2 parts, the first looked at 10 men on A-AKG or a placebo.  Not surprisingly, Arginine-AKG ingestion was shown to elevate plasma arginine levels during the 8-hour period after consumption.  The second part of the protocol contained some more interesting information.   This part looked at 35 trained men over the course of an 8-week treatment period. Data from this part of the protocol showed some very interesting findings.  Not only did subjects consuming the arginine akg have a greater 1 rep max bench press but also effects were seen on power measurements from a Wingate analysis. Therefore anaerobic performance, as measured by two different parameters were both increased by consumption of the arginine akg.

Intensify and Prolong

- Ok, so at this point in training you are amped up and ready to lift like a beast.  You’re achieving reps like never before but at the same time physiologically, metabolic byproducts are building up in a resistance to degrade performance.  This is where some key additions in Pump Fixx come into play.  In order for maximum performance to continue, the body must rid itself of various metabolic byproducts that can quickly be generated during workouts.  The byproducts, particularly hydrogen ions and lactic acid, are some of the culprits that strive to terminate your workout prematurely.  You see, the energy or ATP-producing reactions create these metabolites and the more energy output there is, the more of these metabolites generated.   That’s why we’ve added copious amounts of Beta-Alanine to the Pump Fixx formulation – to allow workout performance to be extended by aiding the body in buffering these.  Beta-Alanine, along with the amino acid histidine, forms a compound known as Carnosine – which is responsible for these beneficial effects.   

- Some recent clinical trials have documented these effects. One such study showed total work increased by 13% in a cycle capacity test and that muscle carnosine concentrations were increased by 58.8% and 80.1% at 4 and 10 weeks.  (Hill et al, 2007)  Derave et al, 2007 showed total increases in muscle carnosine of 47% greater in the soleus and 37% in the gastrocnemius whereas placebo groups showed little change.  In addition, total torque during a dynamic knee extension was significantly increased with the use of ß -alanine.    

- Additionally in the Pump Fixx formulation is Creatinol-O-Phosphate.  This unique compound is not like the name seems. It may appear on the surface to be yet another form of creatine however this is not the case.  COP is actually a novel intracellular buffer similar and potentially synergistic in combination with beta alanine   Most of the research on this product comes out of Germany, but let me just summarize the highlights.  As mentioned above when you’re working out more intensely, so the greater and faster the buildup of lactic acid will be in the body.  COP helps to buffer this lactic acid by increasing anaerobic glycolysis, thereby helping to extend and maximize your workout.  Additionally, it may assist in the summation of muscle fibers during eccentric motion, thereby allowing for greater muscle stimulation and thus performance and hypertrophy.    

- If all that wasn’t enough in terms of muscle buffering, the entire Pump Fixx platform is designed in a base of sodium hydrogen carbonate and potassium hydrogen carbonate.  Bicarbonates or hydrogen carbonates have an extensive history of use for buffering and enhancing strenuous workouts.  When undergoing intensive training, muscle cells utilize large amounts of energy (ATP) in relatively short periods of time. The problem is ATP production resulting from intense training produces rapid accumulations of lactic acid.  If lactic acid is buffered appropriately, performance can degrade quickly and the onset of fatigue can occur.  Again, by helping to rid the body of some of these potent by-products of intense training, muscles can work harder and longer before the onset of fatigue.

- Finally – something new, different and highly effective.  Pump Fixx provides the latest chemistry lab technologies and you’ll be sure to feel the results once you begin training on Pump Fixx.  More energy, enhanced workout performance and endurance – and a pump like never before.
