PRESS RELEASE 24 APRIL 2012

Muscle Science the leading nutritional brand has signed a multiyear deal with one of the leading South African BMX Teams. The Action sport sector is fast growing globally and with BMX now part of the Olympic Games provides Muscle science exposure into this exciting market. The newly formed team named Team Xplode consists of riders  Alex Limberg, Alex Goncalves, Jonnathan Chislett and Kyle Dodd. 


Xplode is the Muscle Science product brand that represents the ‘energy’ component within the stable of Muscle Science’s product range. The Xplode range is also developed with Muscle Science’s typical quality control and superior ingredients. All Muscle Science products and ingredients comply with the global WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) prohibited list.

Gone are the days when action sports athletes were perceived to not train as hard as conventional counterparts.BMX riders require the explosive power for an average of thirty seconds at maximum speed to complete a race.

“Like all sportsman the correct nutrition is a vital component to overall performance. Our recovery after training plays a huge role in being able to make the weeks training or not.” said Jonathan Chislett. “Partnering with Muscle Science allows us the opportunity to have the scientific support and nutritional expertise available to give team riders the edge.”

The team also boasts one of the world’s leading Junior riders Kyle Dodd currently preparing for the UCI World Championships in Birmingham 24th -27th May 2012.  “Being part of the team is exciting and having Muscle Science support is going to be a major performance booster for the team.”

Ian Wright, Muscle Science’s Brand Manager explains the reason behind the new partnership “As we see an ever increasing and improving market that is alternate sports, we have realized that like other global energy drink brands, we too can offer an energy product that speaks to extreme individuals looking for that ‘cool and edgy’ brand, but hopefully as a sports nutrition brand, we can offer such athletes a little more than the typical caffeine focused carbonated drink. These guys and girls are now on the global stage and need to perform at their best – Muscle Science can help them do that. BMX is the ideal sport to represent an explosion of energy.”

Staminade Athlete is 2nd Best in the World!

Written by Muscle Science
Staminade sponsored athlete and Tasol GT’s, Nolan Hoffman has just won silver for South Africa at the UCI World Track Championships in Melbourne Australia. Hoffman finished 2nd in the 15km Scratch race behind Great Britain’s Ben Swift. The Netherlands Wim Stroetinga  was 3rd. Hoffman rides for the Tasol – GT Pro Cycling Team here in South Africa. They can call me but I have a number for him in Aus too.

Swift held off a late surge by South Africa's Hoffman to win the men's 15-kilometer scratch race. Swift chased down Austria’S Andreas Mueller and Italy's Elia VivianI who had surged ahead of the field with seven laps remaining. With one lap to go, and with his escape companions tiring, Swift surged ahead with a margin just enough to hold off a rampant and charging Hoffman with the Dutch rider hanging on for 3rd.
