SMASH® Pre-Workout: Pump – Strength - Endurance – Energy

Designed in pursuit of the most complete pre-workout supplement ever. TRAIN WITH INSANE INTENSITY, EVERY TIME! Do you workout…or do you SMASH®?

How you train ultimately determines the results you receive. But when it comes to effective training the truth is muscular stimulation is the name of the game. Improved performance and extreme muscle growth is around the corner if you do it right. Deep tissue, slow twitch, fast twitch: it all needs to be done to do it right.

So where does poor training occur? Ever find yourself yawning between sets? Not feeling like you did the day before? Avoiding cardio? We all do. These are the physical and mental barriers that keep record bursting achievements at bay. Let’s crush through poor training…

What separates your average workout from one that you know will produce results? Is it your PUMP, STRENGTH, ENDURANCE or ENERGY? It’s all of the above! You have to be ZONED, ENERGIZED and ready to SMASH®! We all crave the feeling of pushing ourselves to the limit. But there comes that moment that separates your average workout from the rest. That moment where every fiber of muscle demands every last bit of what you’ve got. If you lifted with this intensity every workout, how would you look now?

The Solution is SMASH®

SMASH® is a fully loaded pre-workout supplement that is designed to give you the most intense workouts of your life. Sounds outrageous, right? Wait until you’ve tired it. SMASH® is specifically formulated to crank up your workouts through increased Strength, Pump, Endurance and Energy, taking muscular stimulation to a whole new level. This stuff really HITS!

Strength Infusion
You may already know that creatine increases ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s source of intramuscular strength. You may also know that dealing with creatine is a real pain. Loading, cramping, bloating...it really doesn’t work for a supplement that is going to produce results in the first serving. This is why we powered SMASH with Creatine Ethyl Ester, the most powerful creatine to date.

Creatine Ethyl Ester HCl is an exceptionally soluble creatine resulting in advanced absorption, increased bioavailability, and stability. Instead of saturating your system in creatine and hoping for absorption, creatine ethyl ester penetrates the muscle cell resulting in substantially more functional creatine. This means no more loading, bloating, cramping or dehydration. Most users notice a difference in their first dose.

Pump-Endurance Infusion
Intramuscular stimulation is best ignited through Nitric Oxide Pump. SMASH® is formulated with a powerful infusion of muscle volumizing ingredients designed to take your workouts to the next level. The Nitric Oxide Pump SMASH® delivers stimulates deep muscle tissue and shuttles muscle building nutrients right where you need them.

Where does endurance play into this infusion? In addition to increased nutrient uptake through nitric oxide pump, SMASH® is further enhanced with Citrulline Malate, shown to reduce lactic acid and ammonia burn. Any high endurance athlete knows about this all too well. What most all athletes don’t know is this plays into almost any type of training. Reducing lactic acid and ammonia burn is crucial to increasing endurance, no matter what arena you play in.

Energy Infusion
Training exhaustion occurs with every avid athlete. SMASH® was designed with this serious problem in mind. Within the first 15 minutes of taking SMASH® you will start to feel its powerful energizing effects. Bust through training fatigue and get energized before even getting to the gym. Solid energy is key to keeping a persistent heart pumping pace. In addition, the Energy Infusion keeps you mentally focused and alert during training.

Time to Lock and Load

Persistent deep muscle stimulation and energized workouts are the key to unlocking your bodies true potential. Don’t hold yourself back any more. Get Zoned, Get Pumped and Get Ready to SMASH®!
