The MAXIMUS Fitness Accelerator is the brainchild of Jamie Mueller, a former NFL Player for the Buffalo Bills.
With his extensive experience in peak performance and over 30 years in biotech, Mueller brings a wealth of knowledge to the design of this innovative fitness device.
He was the 78th pick in 1987, drafted by the Buffalo Bills from Benedictine College, Atchison, KS. He played from 1987 to 1992 and was forced to retire due to a career-ending neck injury.
He was one of the fastest and strongest NFL players. He lifted 1,865 Ibs for the powerlifting triple, squatting 700 lbs., deadlifting 700 lbs., and bench pressing 465 Ibs. Mueller was clocked at a 4.35-second 40-yards.
In his post-NFL career, Jamie worked in biotech within acute care medicines, investing over 30 years in biotech and the learning cardiorespiratory system, which led to MAXIMUS.
Experts within the RMT (Respiratory Muscle Training) world have postulated that a device used during practice, conditioning, and HIIT training, which includes sport-specific ventilatory demands, would likely provide the best possible outcomes. This is precisely what we have experienced with MAXIMUS development.
With MAXIMUS, hypercapnic training involves deliberately increasing carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the body while exercising and breathing against resistance in a controlled manner. Because you are exhaling against resistance, you can not blow off the CO2 you could without breathing against resistance. The goal is to enhance the body’s tolerance to CO₂, improve oxygen efficiency, and strengthen respiratory function.
Only MAXIMUS is designed with DART Technology and Dual Airflow Resistance Technology. DART provides resistance, both inhaling and exhaling. Thus, the added hypercapnic benefit of breathing against resistance. 95% of devices afford users resistance only during inhaling. None of the devices are designed for use during exercise, nor designed for the hypercapnic benefits, which are game-changing.
Ultimately, hypercapnic training will increase lactate threshold, increase VO₂ max, and improve recovery by optimizing oxygen utilization and reducing fatigue. It also enhances capillary density and mitochondrial efficiency, improving overall performance. Additionally, it can train the nervous system to remain calm under stress, improving focus and resilience in competition.
VO2 Max is the single strongest predictor of mortality. The higher your VO2 Max, the longer you are predicted to live. It may also support cognitive function by increasing cerebral blood flow and promoting neuroplasticity.
MAXIMUS acts as a force multiplier for those seeking longer healthspan and athletes looking to MAXIMIZE results with MAXIMUS!
Business Executive - Former NFL Player
Over 60 weeks now using MAXIMUS, my strength has increased by over 100% on average, and my endurance increased by 50%.
Resistance breathing during exercise has enhanced my fitness and stress management.
I've benefited greatly from this device by increasing my strength and endurance, VO2 Max, and Lactate Threshold.
I am thrilled with the results I receive from training with the MAXIMUS.
This has helped me better understand the importance of strengthening your cardio-pulmonary system for overall health. My strength and endurance are better than ever - MAXIMUS for better Health & Wellness. Thank you!!
Biotech Executive Power Athlete My VO2 max improved approximately 6% in just four weeks, damn good. Overall, I've noted lower resting HR, increased lung capacity, with generally longer, deeper breaths while normal breathing, likely activating the parasympathetic nervous symptom resulting in a lot calmer mood, lower cortisol, and less tiredness.
Business Executive Former Pro Athlete After eight weeks of using MAXIMUS, my strength increased by 40% over baseline across all exercises. Focused breathing work during my strength and endurance training there was a significant impact on my quality of life, including the following:
I have tried many devices in my years of endurance racing. I’ve worn backpacks designed to simulate altitude training, slept in oxygen tents, etc.
This product shocked me, I decreased my 10-mile road bike time from 33:20 minutes to 24 minutes; that's A BIG IMPROVEMENT of over 9 minutes.
Maximus allowed me to develop more cardiovascular strength while putting less stress on the other parts of my body.
While I cannot be sure that MAXIMUS will add years to my life, I can assure you that it has added life to my years.
I shaved 30% off my cycling time in the 2.5 miles I typically sprinted through. I've also managed to Increase my strength by +27% on average across all exercises.
I've also noticed Improved concentration, better sleep, improved memory, and an overall sense of well-being.
A must-have If you are at all fitness-savvy.
As an ex-NHL Strength & Conditioning Coach, I recommend MAXIMUS for on-ice and off-ice HIIT. Sprinting or biking at maximum speed for 30 seconds, followed by 60 seconds of low-intensity jogging or cycling for 8-10 reps, is a great starting point to improve the lactate threshold. MAXIMUS can help improve players' breathing effectiveness during game situations.
Jersey Mike's Executive
I increased my max watts on Peloton from 457 to 510. My strength increased on Incline bench press +62%, and my stamina increased 39% on pull-ups.
As a certified strength and conditioning coach, I was skeptical about the MAXIMUS at first; however, the premise of how the device could improve performance made sense to me.
I see this device truly setting new performance standards across all sports.
