 Excited to write a review for this product! I've tried several pre-workout supplements over the last few years including Jack3d, No-xplode, Nano vapor, Assault, Superpump 250, C4, etc.
Also, keep in mind that this is the only supplement I'm on right now except for protein. At the time I started this, I had just finished a tub of Green Magnitude (again that was the only supp I was on at the time, exluding protein.)
So let me keep this review pretty simple:
Taste/Mix 10: Very pleasantly suprised with the fruit punch flavor, the only one I've tried. It's mild and smooth, not chaulky or acidic like other pre-wo I've had.
Pumps 10: This is where I get really excited, the pumps are the best I've had, on par with the old SP250. When Gaspari changed up from the SP250 I was skeptical, but IMO they delivered.
Focus/Energy 7: No big deal for me because focus isn't a problem. Also, to be fair this product doesn't claim to get you in focus, it also doesn't have a large amount of stimulants and they are very open about that if you read the info from the website.
Value 9: Ok, I bought this from Amazon for about $31 and that includes free 2 day shipping (I have PRIME.) As for servings per container there are 40, but I used 1 rounded scoop per serving and got about 30. So for about a buck/serving I feel like it's a bargain.
Side effects 10: I didn't have a single side effect from taking this. No running to the bathroom, no tingles or jitters at all, to be fair I'm not sensitive to stims anyway but if your a stim junky than you might not find this suitable. Oh, also no bloating or gas (you might have a problem if your taking 3 scoops though so take it easy at first.)
Ok, to sum this up: As expected I got great pumps from this. While I did experience a good deal of endurance while taking this I didn't get a ton of energy and didn't expect to. This tasted great and was pleasant to drink. Not very expensive if you shop around.
Overall, I'd give it a try and see if you experience the same pumps that I have. If your not getting the pumps then I wouldn't bother taking it because that's what this product is all about.

 Pump- Yes, especially when doing arms
Taste- One of the best tasting supps out there (grape flavor)
Value for money- average
Have to say one of the best pre workouts Ive taken. It does the job. Loads of clean energy which lasts throught the session and after. And you dont get a crash after. And this is just with one scoop.
However, took two scoops once and had good energy, just the poop was purple :S Fuuuuuuuuarrrrr I guess thats the only real downside but 1 scoop is all you need :)

 Took Superpump Max during the month of May 2011. I was cutting up for summer. My workouts consisted of high rep, high intensity circuit training in which I would do circuits of three different exercises: a powerlift/olympic lift, a bodybuilding lift, and an AB exercise. I would do 15 minutes on the bike before workouts then run 2 miles after workouts.
Lets just say SuperPump Max did a very good job of getting me through such high intensity workouts.
I bought my 640 grams SuperPump Max off of Bodybuilding.com for $37. It is 1 scoop a serving and 40 servings a bottle.
Mixability and Taste (7/10): I took the Blue Rasberry Ice. It tastes OK and mixes well in a simple glass with a spoon.
Pump (7/10): Bummed that there is no arginine but there is two types of creatine. The pump is pretty decent and sustainable.
Energy (7/10): SuperPump Max gave me clean, sustained energy. Really was a great supplement for my current lifting routine. I like more stimulant pre-workouts when I am bulking and doing more heavy powerlifting to increase strength. When I took SuperPump Max, I was in my cutting stage before summer. Experience no over stimulation, no side effects, and no comedown.
Overall SuperPump Max is a good product but definitely is not a top product. Tasted good, gave me sustained pumps and energy to get through circuit training and tons of cardio, and kept me focused in the gym/training.
Definitely think you should try SuperPump Max and use it for high intensity crossfit and circuit training.
Fair and Honest,

 My first review on this site, so take it easy! (plus i'm not fluent in english)
Value - (6/10): This is a highly priced product where I live. Roughly around 45€. And I don't want to get into ordering it online from overseas, which would make it around same price I guess with shipping etc. So for using 2-3 scoops per workout makes it quite expensive product and it doesn't last very long if you do so. Also I don't like the fact that it does not have beta-alanine as one of the ingredients, which I myself regard as an important piece of a good PWO. So you need to stack this one with pure beta-alanine or Anavite for example from Gaspari range to get the full benefits so to speak. Thus making it even more expensive.
Effectiveness - (8/10): This is where the product is doing what it is supposed to do. I feel it gives you clean energy through the workout, doesn't make you 'crazy' and jittery with all the stims like some of the concentrated PWO's i've tried. I get a really good pump from it, really a big plus especially on arm and chest workouts.:P When I used first tub of this one, I got really decent gains on bench and leg press which I'd put down to using SuperPump - at least to some degree.
Overall - (7/10): I feel SuperPump is a solid PWO. I like the fact that you can use it even late night workouts and it doesn't keep you up all night. The taste I've now used almost two cans, Sour Apple, is magnificent - easily best tasting PWO this far!! I'm sitting on a fence of deciding should I go with concentrated ones or the types of SuperPump, NoXplode etc.. all things concidered SuperPump still has hint of a "luxury PWO" attached to it. I mean used on days you look for more pumps and not looking to blast a long leg session mid-January, I'd recommend it for sure, but overall my choice would still be with some concentrated ones if being brutally honest.
Side effects: Haven't really got any side effects while on SuperPump to report of.

 Good taste and good for boosting endurance. Doesn't build much mass, not a great pump, and takes a while to kick in. Doesn't mix well. If looking for a great pump this product is not recommended but it does not make you crash.

 Why on earth did Gaspari Change the SP250 Formula?!
I did NOT like this Product. It made me crash in the middle of my workout everytime no matter what size dose I used. The Flavor wasn't special, let's say I haven't had anything Orange since. I understand the Stimulants are rather low in the product so they could have a higher dose of more effective Ingredients in the product to enhance performance and growth, which did not happen for me. I doubt I will ever buy this product again. It's way over-priced ($44- per 40 serving container)
I wish SP250 was still available, to me, That was thee Best Pre-workout product.
Maybe the product may be different for you.

| I hear ya man, I'm lucky I can get SP250 here in Australia. I'm pretty sure bodybuilding.com have it still, but only in the stick form. Gaspari really need to go back to the drawing board with this one, its got sweet f@$% all on SP250. SP250 is indeed the best, I mean its the old saying isn't it "if it ain't broke don't fix it". |

 this is THE most over rated product in the history of over rated pre workouts.
taste 8/10: i got the refreshing orange flavor. the only reason i give it a 8/10 is because it was TOO sweet because i had to use 3 scoops to get something. otherwise it tastes absolutely amazing.
value 7/10: its really pricey unless you buy it online from bodybuilding.com or allstarhealth.com
effectiveness 6/10: you would think you would at least get a pump from a product called super"PUMP" max but you don't! not even three scoops.. it also gave me a huge stomach ache one time and i sh***ed bricks. i got a slight jitter during my workouts.
overall 5/10 it sucks

| I understand that you feel this is over rated, but what have you tried to compare with this? Did you try SP250 before the change? |

 I have always heard great things about SPM so I figured I'd have to give it a try.
Effectiveness- 10/10: I have tried Jack3d, C4, NO Shotgun, and now Super Pump. But out of all the PWO supplements i have tried, Super Pump has been my favorite. Whenever i take it I get a boost of energy, but its clean and I never got itchy or the jitters. It gives me the sustained energy I need, and makes it hard to bring myself to stop lifitng. The best part however isn't the energy, It's the pump. After I'm done lifting, I feel as if my skins gonna tear because of the pumps! Also after my first tub, I've never had any side effects like nausea or headaches.
Taste-10/10: My favortie flavor with any product is blue raspberry, so I figured I'd try it for this too. Whenever I first opened it and smelled it, it honestly smelled like real blueberries. Then after the first time i tasted it, I can say that it was the best blue raspberry flavor i have ever had. One more plus is that it never was clumpy.
Value-8/10: The only thing that i didnt like about it was that it was a bit expensive. $35 for 40 servings for a pwo,to me, isn't the best deal, but I didn't mind it, due to the effectiveness.
Overall-9/10: Overall, Super Pump Max, for me, was my favorite pwo. It was very effective, the taste is great, and the pump is unbelievable. I would strongly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a pwo that gives you an energy boost along with a great pump.
