i have used two tubs of this cookies and creme and banana. it tastes very good, and was decent as far as recovery. but the one MAJOR flaw with this was that its a "mass" gainer... and after 2 tubs i gained no weight, i actually think i looked a little fatter.

First ever review, so here it goes!

This product was recommended to me after I had a 3 week bout of pneumonia. I had lost 15 pounds in this time, and a large amount of stregnth.

Value: I gave this product a 7 because it is way to expensive if you are buying one at a time, but the friend who turned me onto this product gave me his gold card to use, so whenever i bought this, i bought it in bulk.

Taste: I personally love how AMP MASS XXX tasted. When mixed in 16 oz. of milk its exactly like a milkshake. I only buy chocolate flavored proteins though (safety flavor).

Effectiveness: This is where the product really blew me away. I was down to 125 at the end of my illness, as well as dropping down to embaressing amounts of weight in all of my lifts. I took 1 and 1/2 servings of XXX per day, 3 scoops after a workout (3/4 serving), and then the same amount before bed. Along with that, I was doing a full body workout every other day in the gym, and then some tennis on the off days. After 2 months I was back up to 145 pounds and had surpassed all of my previous lifts. I know this sounds like a lot but keep in mind that I was a 16 year old teenager who ate like crazy and had lost a lot due to sickness. Now 2 years later, I am up to 165 and using 100% Gold Standard daily (review coming soon ;)).

Bottom line is that this product helped me to gain back everything I had lost and them some, as well as my confidence. This was my first real supplement, and I will always go back to it when I need to gain weight.

This product is a 7 across the board. If you can find this product cheap then it might be worth it as a mass gainer. However, during my use I noticed that I went through the tub extremely quickly for the price. And considering how much I had to drink a day, I would have like it to taste good. The bottom line is that there are much better valued product out there for mass gainers. I give the taste a 5. The mixibility is a 5. The effectiveness is a 7. And the value is a 7 if you find it on sale.

i have to say that it gave me a lot of strength even in the last sets when you are tired you can still feel the Boost. it does help to gain MASS there is only one side effect that i dont know if already happent to someone else than me after a few days taking it pimples or acne started showing up all over my back shoulder and part of my arms all my upper body its eather im allergic to it or its a bad effect eather way i have to finish it i still have a few shots but i would'nt buy it again due to the pimples and the taste that i'd give it 5/10

Let me start by saying that this is the one product that no matter how well it works it is not worth buying again. It is so expensive for not enough servings and only decent results.

Taste(6/10)- Its not the worst protein i have ever tasted but it definately isnt something that you would sip to keep the taste in your mouth.

Mixability(4/10)- It dosnt mix well at all. I would blend it with a couple ice cubs and water and after about a solid minute of blending i could still feel huge chunks of powder in my mouth when i drank it.

Effectiveness(7/10)- It did manage to give me about 3 pounds of MASS and did make me feel a little bit stronger and not as sore the next day.

Value(5/10)- For a protein with as many cons as this one has the value was never going to be good. When you factor the huge price tag on top of the slightly above average effectivness and the poor taste and mixability it makes this a protein i will never buy again.

Bought this stuff at the beginning of the summer and all i can say is that i'm fairly impressed with it, mainly because it helped me bulk up by gaining muscle and some extra fat slowly and overtime.

The product recommends taking two shakes daily but i personally feel that that's a little too much, so i just took one a day after my workout. On the few days i took the stuff twice a day (just to try it) i took a shake before i went to bed and felt really energized the next morning at the gym.

Effectivness 9/10: This product does exactly what it says it does...gain MASS which is good for someone like me who has a superfast metabolism and has trouble gaining weight. Also for only taking one shake a day it still was fairly effective at gaining MASS

Value- I was pretty lucky and got a really good deal on the product at GNC through a promotion deal and got like a buy one get one half off sale. Because of this i was say i would give this a 10 for value because of its effectiveness. On the other hand it would be pretty expensive at full price so i wouldnt recommend buying it unless you get a good deal on it.

Results- i started off this summer in June, going to the gym 5 days a week and it is now the end of August (Total time of about 3 months). I started at 170lbs doing 135lb bench press for 5 reps and now have a 215 max. I gained a total of about 9lbs of muscle(Amazing considering you can only gain about 15lbs a year) and about 10lbs of fat(which is ok because thats what i wanted). This was all in 3 months!!! I'm very impressed and would personally recommend this to anyone looking to bulk.

I've been through half the tub so far and with proper diet and 3 scoops post training i've gained 15 lbs in 1 month I would say this product is one of the best MASS gainers.. Since there's so much cal and protein in this supplement i've also used papaya enzyme tablets ( 9 a day ) .. this helps in absorption.. Amplified MASS is a great supplement for small people who want to put on size.

By far my favorite protein out there! If i wasn't on a price budget I wouldn't be buying any other product besides this. Makes you never feel sore. I had huge strength increases from this product. I also built great amouts of MASS and muslce, which the creatine helps you with. It tastes great! The only down fall is this is deffinately a weight gainer protein by far. I gained 15 lbs at the end of this tub. But if thats what youre looking for deffinately choose this one! You are going to loose muscle toneness fromt aking this but thats what happens when you start to gain MASS at first.

I went through 3 tubs of this during the spring/summer leading up too my junior year in high school. There were parts of this product that i though were very good and others that seemed to lack in comparison.

Taste(9/10)-I took two tubs of the chocolate and finished off with one of the cookies and cream. the first tub of chocolate was fantastic, but towards the end of the second one i began to get tired of the taste so i switched to cookies and cream which IMO was better than chocolate to begin with.

Mix-ability(8/10)-The powder mixes fine, the solution is just extremely thick with 4 scoops and the recommended amount of milk.

Effectiveness(9/10)-When i began taking this product i weighed about 160 and by the time i had finished 3 tubs i was 180. During this time i also increased my caloric intake just as anyone on a bulk would do. A full serving of this has 1000 calories if you mix it with milk like i did. i found it hard to handle the full 4 scoop serving size, so i took 2 scoops immediately following workout, and 2 scoops right before bed. over this time i noticed sufficient gains in strength as well as size. I was lifting 4x a week on a strength and speed building program for football. I believe the way i was able to keep my bulk lean was the amount of cardio i did while on this product, i would do my weight training/football cardio in the early morning and more cardio in the afternoon heat. as far as the creatine goes for this product, i didn't feel much of anything. I'm not sure of the quality of this creatine but the standard MASS XXX is exactly the same as this product minus the creatine and that you can almost always get the standard version on sale or buy one get one half off since this product came out. if i had to do it over again, i would purchase the standard MASS xxx and buy some Kre-Alkalyn to stack. There is also some odd claim on the packaging that taking this "amplifies" your sets so that you'll get the benefits of doing 5 sets when only completing 3. I think ill call BS on that one, just another promotional gimmick IMO.

Value(7/10)-looking back it seems silly to pay extra for the 3 mysterious grams of creatine per serving in the amplified product. However, this product will help you gain size and strength so its value is still pretty good.

Overall i give this product an (8/10) because it worked great for me in gaining size and strength, had zero side effects, and tasted fantastic. I just feel like if i were to do it again, there are more cost efficient ways to get the same results.
