Summary:
Overall, its a good product. Its tastes OK (nothing to write home about), is competitive with other choices, and comes from a trusted manufacturer. Its also a great price from this seller (AllStarHealth.com). Research what you want and make a call for yourself.
The good:
- Great combo of supplements. I'm lazy when it comes to certain things. I don't want to be bothered with buying 9 different supplements to achieve a certain result. Its great that this has a little bit of everything I need/want. I also didn't want to have to worry about buying and preparing food for recovery. I drink this to make up for my laziness.
- Mixes well. I just shook it in a regular bottle and it was fine.
- One one hand, it tastes better than I thought...
The bad:
- On the other hand, I'd still rather chug it than just drink it normally. The ready-to-drink stuff like what Muscle Milk offers tastes better, but you pay premium for it. The way I see it, I'm drinking it for function, not enjoyment, so this isn't a big deal. Its not awful, just not great either.
- Serving size. It says "3 scoops (97 grams)" is a serving. 1) that's a lot. 2) I couldn't tell whether if it was to the line on the scooper or to the top of the scooper. I'm willing to bet if I busted out a small scale, 3 scoops to the top are more than 97 grams. Trying to sell me more crap maybe?
My thoughts:
I did some reading and decided to give this one a shot. I think compared to everything that's out there, this is a pretty good choice. Its a blend of good protein, recovery carbs, and creatine. The way I see it, I get the same amount of protein as those other guys for the same price more or less PLUS those other supplements. Good deal.
For you:
I still recommend researching products to see what fits your needs personally. Some people don't buy into supplements over food. Some people don't buy into recovery carbs. Read a little from non-vendor websites and talk to nutritionists/trainers. Experiment with supplements, food, serving sizes, etc. Your body is made up of chemicals and everyone is different, so its not one size fits all.
Regardless of what you do, everyone in the fitness community agrees: 1) you need something for recovery and 2) it should be as soon after your work out as possible. People say its a 1-2 hour window. I'd say with digestion in mind, just eat within 30 minutes to be safe. Digesting fluids is far faster than solids and pouring powder in a cup is super fast preparation, protein shakes aren't a bad choice.

Flavor Name:Vanilla Ice Cream|Amazon Verified Purchase
I picked this up to compliment my Power 90 routine (and soon my P90X routine). I've only been using it for a few days now, but it seems to be helping with muscle soreness. I'm pushing myself MUCH harder now and not really feeling any pain the next day.
The powder mixes extremely well in water and results in a pretty smooth drink without any clumping. It was cheap, it's from a reputable supplier, it had what I wanted (Whey Protein, BCAA's, L-Glutamine and Creatine) and it seems to be working well.
I have 2 gripes with this stuff though. 1) The Vanilla Ice Cream flavor finishes weird. Maybe it's the splenda or maybe I'm adding too much water, I don't know. Going down it tastes fine, but the aftertaste and the lingering taste the rest of the day is not enjoyable. I've been adding a teaspoon of cocoa powder and reducing the amount of water and that's helped a lot, but I'm still playing with the mixture. 2) 3 scoops is 320 calories, which for my current diet is a lot more than I would have liked. It's not terrible, but for my needs, it's a lot. I've been sticking with 2 scoops, which works for me, but also reduces the Glutamine and Creatine levels. I wish I would have done a little more research before settling on the AfterMax. The AfterShock looks like a better fit for me, and even ON's 100% Whey Protein has almost everything I wanted (besides the carbs), but it's a little too late now.
Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. Because of the excessive calories though (320 in 3 scoops), I don't think I'd buy it again. If you're trying to really bulk up though, this might make After Max an even better choice for you though.

Flavor Name:Chocolate Sundae|Amazon Verified Purchase
A friend of mine recommended this to me a couple of years ago, and i've been using it ever since. It's not gritty and it doesn't have that "cardboard glue" taste i've found in other nutrition shakes. With the Aminogen, Creatine and L-Glutamine already added, i was able to stop buying other supplements which saved quite a bit of money. This product is enjoyable to drink and i've seen great gains in my performance and strength since i've started using it. I highly recommend this product.
I have found that the best mix is blending 3 scoups of powder, 12oz of water and 3 ice cubes together, it gives it more of a "shake" feel and body.
