"We value the importance of nutrition at FFC. With the physical demands of the premiership at an all time high, it is important that the nutritional products that we use are safe and effective. Maximuscle has proved this to our sports medicine and fitness team during our long association. With players physical performances improving and the fact that hundreds of tests undertaken by the football association have proved the products to be safe. The players have confidence in the products because of the research behind why when and how to use them in relation to football training and games. We have used Maxi-EFA to reduce body fat with superb results and in particular recover-max after training and game to accelerate recovery and reduce injury or fatigue."
Mark Taylor – Fulham FCMaintain energy levels and fuel your workouts
Eating 5 – 6 small meals a day provides your body with a constant energy supply. Skipping meals may leave you feeling lethargic as your body is lacking the required nutrients for energy. Eat balanced meals containing complex carbohydrates, protein, good fats and fibre. The addition of quality carbohydrate drinks will give you the essential energy you need to train hard, delay fatigue and recover effectively when used before, during and after training. Viper is a superb formula which addresses all of these needs and in addition helps you to retain motivation and focus during every training session.
Stay hydrated
Training causes you to sweat and lose water, salts and minerals. Not replacing these can cause dehydration. When you are dehydrated your performance suffers. Research shows optimum re-hydration to be a weak carbohydrate drink (6-8% solution) with electrolytes. The flexibility of Maximuscle’s Viper formula means you can mix your drink to the correct solution for before, during and after training needs.
Recover effectively
With the large exercise loads that endurance athletes commonly have, it is imperative to maximise recovery by introducing the right nutrients straight away after training. A 3:1 ratio of carbohydrates to protein has been shown to be beneficial to help the body to restore carbohydrate levels stored in the muscle (glycogen) and address muscle breakdown caused by training. Introduce a recovery formula such as Maximuscle’s Recovermax to ensure you are ready for your next exercise session.
Improve mental focus
Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are found in some proteins and have been shown to prevent imbalances that could cause mental fatigue. Maximuscle’s Viper formula contains these BCAAs as does our whey protein product, Promax. For additional formulas that could give a mental and physical boost you can try ‘high-energy’ products such as Viper Extreme (drink, bar or capsules).
Minimise chances of illness or injury
There is nothing more frustrating than making great progress, only to get injured or sick. The Maintenance range (see p.50 - 51) supports immune health by providing your body with the right nutrients at the right times. (e.g. Protrient, Immune Support and Iron Kick).
