In short, if you're looking for a top-notch pre-workout that will take your workout to the next level, then MusclePharm Assault is the perfect choice!
What's new?
The developers did not stop there, creating musclepharm assault new. This complex turned out to be even more effective and of high quality, and reviews from athletes only confirm such a bold statement.
A special feature of the new version is a 5-step action system that allows you to speed up the process of absorption of amino acids, creatine, arginine and other additives. Taking the musclepharm assault new complex helps support anabolic processes, achieve a powerful release of energy, increase the level of muscle pump and increase the process of ATP production.
MusclePharm Assault: main characteristics
Poor performance in the gym, on the treadmill or on the playground deprives the training process of the necessary effectiveness. And when the body’s energy reserves come to an end, the athlete is forced to look for a drug like MusclePharm Assault.
All components of the product work on their own and have a synergistic effect: they enhance the continuous generation of energy, increase muscle performance and overall endurance, and at the same time reduce the duration of the recovery period between training sessions.
Many ingredients in MusclePharm Assault have a general strengthening effect and have a positive effect not only on athletic performance, but also on overall health. These benefits further enhance the potential and value of Assault Pre-Workout, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to live a fulfilling, healthy life.
Reception features
The complex should be taken shortly before the start of training (usually 20-25 minutes). At the same time, the body needs a large volume of water - up to 3-4 liters.
The preparation method is very simple - 0.5 scoop (11.5 grams) is mixed with 300-350 grams of liquid. In case of increased intensity of the training process, you can drink a whole portion at once - 23 grams. One package of musclepharm assault contains 32 servings, which, with a regimen of three workouts per week, will allow you to stretch out the supplement for almost 2.5 months.
Increased strength
MusclePharm Assault contains creatine monohydrate and creatine hydrochloride, each of which is equally capable of increasing the number of repetitions and sets performed with a given working weight.
Creatine acts as a donor of phosphate groups, which are used by muscle cells to replenish ATP reserves. As you know, adenosine triphosphate is a universal energy substrate and provides muscles with energy during contraction, and muscle exhaustion (we hope, like the help of the belayer) comes at the moment when ATP reserves in muscle tissue are completely used up. Creatine in Assault accelerates the process of ATP regeneration and allows you to withstand greater physical activity.
In addition, creatine also has hidden benefits that make it an incredibly useful dietary supplement. Among these scientifically proven beneficial properties of creatine preparations:
- Acceleration of methylation processes in cells, which leads to an increase in the synthesis of amino acids.
- Improves brain function and stimulates mental abilities, confirmed by standardized test results.
- Increasing the efficiency of healing processes.
- Increased volume of muscle fibers.
Expert reviews[edit | edit code]
The supplement was launched in 2008, and was promoted as "safe and the most advanced science possible." MusclePharm began an aggressive marketing campaign in 2009 and became Brand of the Year on Bodybuilding.com. The company specialized in sports nutrition to improve endurance and strength, so Assault was one of the key products in the line.
Assault is essentially a classic pre-workout complex with standard ingredients. No special innovations. However, the balanced composition and high quality allowed the product to quickly become a leader.
In 2012, the composition and design of the product was updated:
- The portion size has decreased, while the relative cost has increased significantly. Now one jar contains only 16 scoops.
- The composition of the creatine mixture has changed (only monohydrate and Con-Cret
- creatine hydrochloride) remain. - increased BCAA content to 6 g per serving (ratio 3:1:2)
- added electrolytes
- Astragin - a component of ginseng
Based on reviews, Assault's stimulating activity is rated as moderate to low. Many people are not satisfied with the taste. In fact, you can combine the components yourself at a significantly lower cost; for this you will need:
- Creatine monohydrate – 1 teaspoon
- BCAA - 1 teaspoon
- Beta-alanine – 4 g
- Caffeine - 100 mg
- Ginseng and Rhodiola extract - 1 serving each
- Vitamin-mineral complex – 1 serving
The remaining components play a secondary role or have no proven effectiveness at all. Read: Sports energy drinks at home
Side effects[edit | edit code]
Like other similar products, due to the mixing of a large number of components, it often causes side effects (about 5-10%): nausea, indigestion, dizziness, poor health, impaired consciousness. Most often, negative reviews are associated with side effects.

Increased stamina
The increase in physical performance caused by MusclePharm Assault is a consequence of improved microcirculation, stimulation of the nervous system and effective delivery of nutrients assisted by the active components of Assault Pre-Workout Complex.
MusclePharm Assault's caffeine is a proprietary blend designed to increase energy generation and heighten perception. Caffeine is incredibly effective at increasing muscle performance and physical endurance during training.
Arginine, which we will also find in the drug Assault, provides a significant increase in blood supply to the muscles, which means an increase in the rate of recovery. How it works? Arginine acts as a precursor to nitric oxide, which causes the expansion of millions of small vessels that nourish muscle tissue. These capillaries, expanding in the presence of nitric oxide, provide the muscles with an additional flow of oxygen and nutrients, and most of us know this process as the same pumping effect.

Muscle recovery and growth
Although Assault is not rich in protein or amino acids, we will still find some of them. And these compounds have an incredible potentiating effect on athletic performance and muscle growth!
Beta-alanine is famous for its effect on muscle endurance and recovery processes. In particular, one controlled study demonstrated the ability of beta-alanine to boost additional muscle growth compared to placebo.
Another study on beta-alanine showed a reduction in symptoms of fatigue and an increase in overall physical performance in people who trained hard and pushed their bodies to the limit.
The addition of branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) to MusclePharm Assault is designed to instantly stimulate anabolic processes and immediately accelerate protein synthesis in muscles.
Leucine has a direct stimulatory effect on the mTOR complex, also known as the mammalian target of rapamycin. Activation of mTOR triggers the processes of transcription and synthesis of protein molecules. mTOR is of great importance both for adherents of strict diets and for apologists of hypercaloric diets, since this mechanism stimulates protein synthesis both on its own and in combination with the anabolic effect of insulin.
Fighting fatigue
Back in the 70s of the last century, citrulline was used to increase depressed energy metabolism in the elderly, and in the recent past it was proven that its use promises considerable benefits for people striving for high athletic performance.
The presence of citrulline malate in MusclePharm Assault is due to its ability to raise the threshold of muscle fatigue, increase peak strength and the volume of physical activity performed during a training session.
The proprietary Astragin complex (astragalus + ginseng) is an innovative combination of two active components, each of which has a general strengthening effect and at the same time increases physical performance.
Astragalus membranaceus reduces the severity of post-workout fatigue and increases endurance. Additional clinically proven benefits of taking astragalus include:
- Stimulating the immune system.
- Increasing resistance to viral infection.
- Efficacy in reducing the immunosuppressive effects of drugs used for chemotherapy.
- Reducing blood viscosity and reducing lipid levels, which reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular pathology.
- Improving the functioning of the urinary system.
Asian ginseng in MusclePharm products increases strength and muscle performance during high-intensity training. In addition, the positive effect on the training process is reinforced by other healing properties of Asian ginseng, including:
- Antiatherogenic effect – prevention of the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and prevention of atherosclerosis.
- Protection from the harmful effects of standard chemotherapy drugs.
