Post-workout recovery pt. II: Progenex and the fittest man alive

Interesting read on recently popular Progenex products and its growing acceptance with crossfit athletes, specifically the top competitor at this years games, Graham Holmberg.


"Graham’s goal was to perform even better at the 2010 CrossFit Games than he had in the 2009 or 2010 regional competitions. Much like the Central East Regional and other national and international qualifiers, the buzz around PROGENEX at the 2010 CrossFit Games was deafening. People were seeing an improvement in recovery time and performance capacity. The Games athletes flocked to the PROGENEX table after nearly each event and every workout. The sentiments were generally the same, the athletes felt fresh and they wanted to know if it was really PROGENEX that made an impact on their ability to recover. “What’s in this stuff?”, you’d hear often.


Well, to answer your question: Promorphogen (Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate), Less than 5g of Fructose, Natural Flavoring, and a trace amount of Sucralose. We listened to what the CrossFit community wanted and delivered a highly effective, great tasting recovery powder. We avoided detrimental ingredients like Soy, Aspartame, and unproven substances like “gamma-oryzanol” that you would find in competing Post-Workout Recovery supplements. Of course, our improvements to Recovery and More Muscle improved the efficacy of both products.


After supplementing for performance with PROGENEX, Graham was able to train at the highest level. He lifted harder, moved faster, and flat out trained more often. What was the result? A nearly dominant performance at the 2010 CrossFit Games. In nine events, Graham finished outside of the top 6th all but twice. Even more, Graham was in the top-three in five of nine events. The World’s Fittest Man saw a vast improvement in recovery time and durability between the Central East Regional and the 2010 CrossFit Games."
