 Hey guys, once again thought I'd hop on here and talk about some SizeOn. This is of course a Gaspari product, and i was taking this after taking the original about a year or so ago.
The drink is meant for intra-workout,which means while you are workingout I had gotten the Arctic Lemon Ice flavor from A1supplements.com for around $47. I mixed up one scoop with a full blender bottle of water and drank throughout my entire workout, it mixed up very well.
Workout: I was on a heavy weight low rep workout for college football and was hoping this would help to bust a couple plateaus and just get bigger and stronger and it did that.
The taste was pretty good, kinda like a cheap lemon lime gatorade but left a funky taste in my mouth hours after finishing it that i couldnt mask with gum or food. I'll be honest too, it gave me a couple good farts about an hour after too haha. like clear out the room.
The effectiveness of this was very good. I was constantly setting new PR's, I had seen a size gain in my muscle size and along with strength, it was really helpful. my muscles fatigued slower during my lifts, i could grind out the last few sets without struggle. The only downside to this was that I added a decent amount of waterweight too and was bloated pretty good by the time i polished the bottle off.
All in all this is a very good product, not as good as the original but it does on the most part what it claims. I added about a good 3lbs in muscle and prolly one or two more in waterweight which went away about 2 weeks after not taking it. I would highly suggest anyone to try this!

 I gotta say I LOVE this product!!! I'm very happy with my results, and strength gains while taking Size On...
Taste- 9.5--- The taste was amazing! I had Wild Berry Punch, and i drank it post workout. It was very refreshing after my long summer workouts to be able to go in a plop down in my locker and sip on this.
Effectivnes- 9.1--- One of the main things i noticed with this was the recovery! I was able to work my butt off, and the next day i felt very little to no soreness. As far as stregth gains, i did jump up a little, nothing signifigant, but before i took this i had hit a platue and was stuck at a 265 bench press, and by the end of my container i finally hit 275. As with my squat i went from 365 to 390. And i know this might be rare, but i feel like i leaned out a little while on this too. I also never felt or saw a bloat while taking this.
Value- 6.5--- Okay, so the price of size on is pretty high, but when i can get it on sale at GNC, i usually pick it up for around $40. So look for it on sale and get it while it is, otherwise, your wallet will get a little lean.
Overall i am very happy with Size On, and i will continue to use it. I've tried Wild Berry Pucnh, and Lemon Ice, and both were great.
Good Luck!

 Hello SupplementReviews.com, this is my second review. I recently finished the 3.49 lb tub of Gaspari Nutrition 'Size-On' Maximum Performance.
-I purchased it for around $45 from a mom and pop nutrition shop. For $45 you get 24 servings if you use 1 scoop mixed with water while working out.
-'Size-On' is supposed to be an Intra-workout fuel which means you sip on it through-out your workout.
-I tried the Grape Cooler flavor which was OK.
-I took half a scoop before working out mixed with Cellucor C4 and sipped on a full scoop throughout my workout.
Size-On is supposed to be an intra-workout, BCAA, creatine, carbohydrate supplement powder that is supposed to promote "maximal muscle volume and accelerate protein synthesis."
Love Rich Gaspari and Gaspari Nutrition but there is just too much 'Fluff' marketing on the label for a product that really is just 'Gatorade on Steroids.' I always mixed my 'Size-On' with a pre-workout because the Agmatine Sulphate and Arginine found in pre-workouts opens up my blood vessels and allows for better delivery of the carbohydrates, creatine, BCAAs, and nutrients to my blood and muscles.
SIZE-ON DOES INCREASE YOUR ENDURANCE, FOCUS, AND ENERGY DURING WORKOUTS. It is a good supplement and I definitely RECOMMEND IT TO ATHLETES, POWERLIFTERS, CROSSFIT ATHLETES.
If you are a bodybuilder I figure you would be taking 'Size-On' because you think it is going to add size to your frame. I'll tell you now the creatine is not strong in this product but IT IS A GOOD CREATINE. The creatine DOES NOT GET YOU BLOATED and gives you great endurance and pumps when mixed with a pre-workout.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BULKING SUPPLEMENT GO WITH KRE-ALKALYN 1500.
Here is my conclusion:
I really enjoy using 'Size-On' Maximum Performance when I am doing circuit training and power bodybuilding when I mix together heavy lifting, olympic lifts, and high rep volumizing training all in one. I train a few high school decathletes and I really recommend this product to them because they are doing explosive plyometrics, lifting, and endurance running all in one workout. 'Size-On' does not list the amount of creatine in has in its formula so we do not know what all we are ingesting. There could only be a tiny bit which is why there is no bloat or extreme strength gains. However, there is enough creatine to help with recover, endurance during workouts, and increased pump. It is a LITTLE PRICEY but worth it if you are looking to have a big month of intense working out in which you are mixing together bodybuilding, powerlifting, plyos, cardio, etc...
Fair and Honest,

 SizeOn is a little expensive price per serving, but it is one of the best combination intra workout products on the market right now. I have used things like Xtend, Elite Recoup, and multiple carb products intra workout and this one seems keep my energy levels up during the workout.

 I used the bluz razz, flavor and I went through the whole tub I bought. Taste was good. Its hard to mix with water, you really have to mix it. And it turned my tongue blue.
It was not very effective, so overall the value lacked. Its not worthless, as I felt it was somewhat effective. But none of us want to spend a dollar on something that doesn't live up to our expectations.

| It did give me some energy, but it wore off quickly. Maybe 20 min into my workout. I tried taking it at different times before my workout, but it was still the same.
So it was okay for a short time, so I suppose if you were looking for something slight, this would be it.
Some of my friends get the jitters and what not from these kinds of things, so this may be for them.
Hope that helps, |

| I did consume it all pre work out. I understand the instructions state to take it during your workout, but due to the fizzyness I decided not too. Nothing like doing hanging crunches with bubbles in your stomach :) |

 Ok size on works and is a good product if you can get it at a good price dont go to GNC they will rip you off its not worth 60 70 bucks but for under 40 its a good buy its got protiens and amnio acids in it that are pumped in your muscles while you workout the best effect of this product is strength gains everything went up squat,bench,and deadlift the only problen is theres not that much cretine in it its packed with so much stuff it leves little room for cretine but like I said at a good price its worth it

 Alright, I dont know where to start with this one. For me, there was no negatives, it is my favorite supp since the day i first tried it.
I first tried SizeOn around 6 months ago after a mate told me to try it, and i thank him for it everyday haha.
Effectiveness - I went through the first tub in a month and it was the best month of gym iv had to date. I stacked it with superpump 250. I usually start to fatigue after 3 or 4 sets, with SizeOn every set felt like it was my first. I had the best pumps imaginable and didnt fatigue one bit. after a month i gained 3kg and looked bulked up, i didnt think id bulk that quickly, it was just crazy. I improved in everything, i never had to drop weight cos of fatigue, i was steadly moving up in weight for the whole month.
Taste - The taste is the best it can be. i tried all the flavours, Wild Berry punch, Orange cooler, grape cooler and artic lemon ice and they were all good. the taste is sweet and tastes like cordial, i could drink it for fun haha.
There were no side effects, make sure you cycle it though because i learned the hard way. i used 2 tubs without a break and at the end of the second one i started to get kidney pains, so make sure you cycle it.
Overall - 10 out of 10 Best Supp on the market.
| Pros: |
Cons: |
- Flavor Is Awesome
- Worth The Money
- Good Creatine
- Increased Endurance
- Fruit Punch Is Great Tasting
- Tastes Amazing When Cold
- Builds Muscle
- Helps Recovery
- The Best Endurance
- Grape Flavor Taste Like Grape Flavored Toostie Roll Lollipops

 After trying the Original SizeOn a couple years back, i finally decided to try SizeOn Max, and i have to say i am impressed.
Price/value: When i first looked at this, the first thing i saw was the hefty price tag. I bought this at GNC when it was on sale and it was still 40 dollars, for 24 servings which is pretty darn close to 2 dollars a serving. Thats a bit over my price range for a product like this, but i thought i would try it. I worked out 5 days a week and the bottle lasted me around a month which isnt that bad when you look at it, but per serving, its a bit expensive.
Taste/smell: When i got home i wanted to try it, and when i opened the bottle, i was overwhelmed with the smell of mac and cheese. Seriously, Grape SizeOn smells like mac and cheese. And i thought to myself that it was going to taste like crap. But when i mixed it up (after letting it sit for a while to disolve but ill get to that later), and started to sip it during my workout, it tasted great. Almost like a low sugar kool aid taste but sweeter. its hard to explain, but it was good.
Mixability: A lot of people complain about the mixability of SizeOn but all you have to do is wait 4 or 5 min and let it settle after shaking and any clumps will disappear. There was some major settling at the bottom of my shaker cup, but again give it a few shakes and a little time and that will go away too.
Effectiveness: This is where it gets good. I saw some good size gains with just one bottle of this. Within the first week of this, i would notice little differences in my muscles. Like i would notice my calves start to get bigger, and i made some improvements on my arms and shoulders even after all the water gains went away, along with other bodyparts. As far as strength gains go, they were pretty good. Its not like my 1RMs went up 20 lbs or anything in one bottle, but i could do a weight that i could normally fo for 5 times, and i could do it 7 or 8 times, which is pretty impressive. I also noticed my endurance went up, and i recovered better after workouts. Not to mention the crazy glycogen pumps that i got from SizeOn. Just using this by itsself gave me skin splitting pumps and it was fantastic. But when i stacked it with SuperPump250 and Nitrox 2, i felt like my muscles would explode out of my skin. I would get pumps in my traps from doing squats, it was awesome haha.
Ingredient Profile: It was pretty good. It has around 40 grams of carbs (long and short chain carbohydrates), it contains minerals and electrolytes for hydration, a creatine blend, and added free form amino acids as well as whey hydrolysate (its kind of like pre digested protein for those of you who didnt know) to prevent muscle breakdown and promote anabolism. Overall a pretty impressive list of ingredients, and a step up from the Original. Although i do question the creatine, it has Creapure ( monohydrate) which is good, but when the product is supposed to be taked intra-workout which can last up to 2 hours, i just have to think about the stability of it, because normally creatine monohydrate's stability time is a couple minutes, and i wonder if they bonded the creatine to something to make it more stable.
Side Effects: While SizeOn does have a lot of pros, it has a few cons too. I got very bloated during and after workouts that i drank SizeOn with. I did retain some water, and i had blue poo for the rest of the day because the dyes were pretty harsh. it even stained my shaker cup and now it has a tint of purple to it. Overall, not bad considering the benefits.
Overall, a great supplement that i had good success with. In my opinion it owns the intra workout category ingredient wise but its price drags it down a bit. im going to wait until a good sale again before i pick up another bottle.
PS- on off days i took 5 grams of creatine monohydrate to keep creatine levels up. I dont know if it made a difference but i like to think it did.

i agree that it is definately one of the most effective creatines out there, but the only thing keeping me from buying it is the price. I dont have tons of money to throw at supplements, otherwise i would have 20 bottles of it.
I also want to try green mag soon through, but im cycling off creatine for a few weeks but ill get it when the off cycle is over. |

| Very nice review, something I'd like to add to this. What I'd do is take this to the gym fill it up in the water fountain. Shake a bit, set it down do a warm up set, shake it again and ready to go. It's always full dissolved and I'm warmed up and ready to go! |

 I had been wanting to try a intra for awhile
due to the fact that I get very hungry during
some of my workouts which can last up to 5
hours. When this happens I would eat chocolate
& sometimes bananas. This worked for me but I
wanted something to better feed my muscles so
I chose SizeOn Max. for my first intra & was
very pleased.
The first thing that I noticed was that it
tasted great. I had the Wild Berry Punch. It
also mixes easily. It settled some during my
workouts & I would just give it a few shakes
to get it mixed again.
It satisfied my hunger during my workouts. I
would take sips throughout my workout. This
was a big reason that I tried this & I was
very happy.
I gained weight, & got stronger. I got good
recovery from it. This past winter we had a
blizzard & I took it while I shoveled all night & it helped my back recover.
I bought the 24 serving size container from
AllStarHealth.com for 33.59 + 5.95 shipping
& that comes to 1.65 per serving. It is more
expensive than some supplements But I liked
the results & plan on using it again.
It has many ingredients so if you are going
to stack other things with it you may have to
adjust your other supplements. For instance
some weeks I stacked KreAlk with it so on workout days I would take KreAlk only in the
morning & SizeOn during my workout. I recommend looking at all of the ingredients
before you stack other supplements with it.
The bad effects that I had were cramps in my
calves & hamstrings. I stopped doing calf raises & was cautious doing dead lifts.
It also gave me a little bloat but nothing bad.
I highly recommend trying this for gaining
size & strength. Make sure that you drink
plenty & get enough potassium.

I do some long ones. It may not be the best thing to do,
but a lot of strong man competitors do long sessions also. |

 theres alot of hype about this SizeOn everywhere i look. i picked up a tub at 47$ i believe which is terrible.i loe creatine and decided to give this a try.
mixing/taste-8-easily mixed and tasted really good(fruit punch) short and sweet.
effectivness-6-the only noticeable effect is at the beginning of the tub i seen an increase of energy. the only other effect noticed was at the end of the tub i noticed results and werent very special , specially for the money. i didnt see a gain in any water weight either which is the only good thing.
value-4- the price was ridiculous and was obviously not on sale, it came with a team gaspari workout bag however.
pros-the taste was good but who really cares bout taste? and the energy increase faded away after a good week, recovery was also increased by a very small amout but i noticed it.
cons- really bloated and i use Dark Matter so i was basically a liquid gel pill by the time i done drinking them both.i dont believe i gained any strength either...at all
basically this product did not help me what so ever but i would recommend for someone to try it , becase its not the same for everyone and i didnt have terrible results. i prefer Con-Cret over SizeOn any day of the week and Con-Cret is 15$ cheaper
