This is my new favorite preworkout supplement BY FAR, and here's why:

Profile: Creapure, Russian Tarragon Extract, GlycoCarn, ALA, Tyrosine, Caffeine, Geranium, etc. Very solid overall, high doses of what there needs to be, low/no doses of what there doesn't (0g fat, 2g complex carbs, 10 calorie per scoop).

Taste/Mixability: Very impressive for this product. Mixes like a charm in any bottle (haven't tried cup and spoon method but when I add the powder to the water in my shaker it basically dissolves by itself so I would venture to say the spoon method would work well). I got the Blue Raspberry flavor (as always) and it tastes great. I usually smell a product to guage taste, and this one actually tastes better than it smells. Don't get me wrong, it's no Assault Blue Raspberry (which I would drink all day just to taste it) but it's no slouch in this category. Mixes well, drinks smooth, no chemically aftertaste, and minimal blue residue on your teeth so it doesn't look like you just went down on Papa Smurf.

Energy: HOT DAMN. The major selling point for this is that it has less cafeine than a cup of coffee/scoop, and that withstanding, it delivers the goods. The inclusion of 1,3-Dimethylamlyamine HCL was on point with the energy needs you deserve. To testify to this, I just sat through 5 hours of college classes, took a 1 hour nap, and then took 2 scoops of this and it whipped me into shape. Blew through legs in 50 minutes, and I cut no corners. No jittery feeling during or after, and also no crash. You feel a bit "euphoric" because you have smooth energy to spare with the knowledge you just completed a greuling workout(I can't quite find a more adequate word).

Strength/Vascularity: Again, astonished. Being a concentrated product, I didn't expect much (didn't experience much with Jack3d). But I was proven wrong again. As I mentioned in my Assault review, it seems you kick in to a "higher gear" after you take this product. You do get a "surge" when you take this 10-15 minutes preworkout, and yes pun intended. The good strength may be attributed to the Russian Tarragon Extract aiding the Creapure's absorbtion, but the jury's out on that. Have to do more research. But whatever it is that's in there that's doing it, there's enough in there, and I'm not complaining. Now, for the vascularity (and the main reason why I love the project). This product actually delievers where all others don't (in my opinion). I am a true GlycoCarn believer after taking this. I take 2 scoops 10 minutes preworkout and my veins are more prominant as soon as I finish my warm up set. I was doing legs today and someone asked me what I was doing for biceps. That's how good the vascularity is. And the pump is very full and lasting, you feel it walking out of the gym just as good as you do midway through your workout.

Cons: The only things I can put my finger on would be the fact that (as with all concentrate products) when it says 45 servings you actually end up with 22 or 15 servings because you end up doubling or trippling the doesage to get the adequate effects. And, with all products, I'm a stickler for flavorings and additives. This has a few, including Blue #1. Can't stress this more: toxins in, toxins out. You put toxins in your body, they go through your body. That can't be good, regardless of the doesage. I'm just glad there's only 4 additives (1 natural) and that they're in small doesages.

Overall: This is my favorite all-around preworkout formula. Jack3d makes you tweak out more (which can be good and bad) and Assault gives you a bit more strength (try it and see for yourself), but this product is very comprable to both of those in these categories, and blows everything out in terms of vascularity/pump. To me, that's the main reason for buying a preworkout, so if I need one in the future, I know were to go to. A month's worth (@ 2 scoops/workout) for $29+ shipping is nothing to sneeze at either.

Bravo Athletic Edge, you made a winner.

After taking a month off of PWO's I decided to try out PreSurge since I was on a tight budget for supplements.

The ingredient profile is very similar to Jack3d and that is what really grabbed my attention to try it out.

Taste 7/10
I bought the watermelon flavor, it was delicious the first week and a half, after that though I began to experience a weird after taste, very sour but also like a flat soda taste, idk just weird, decided to down it through a straw from that point on.

Effectiveness 8/10
This pwo got me pumped up to workout when I was on an extremely empty stomach, like my last meal before taking it was 2 hours prior. However, I had to take 2 scoops to feel the pump. The energy was always short lived, never lasted as long as I expected it too on 2 scoops, but taking 3 scoops seemed to add half an hour to its effects.

Side effects..
Only reason I didnt really enjoy this pwo is because it always made my face flushed soon as I started working out, not to mention gave me cotton mouth but thats usually the case with many pwo.

Overall I would not use this pwo again unless I was on a VERY tight budget. I feel like I could get more out of a gas station energy drink than taking this pwo.

I also want to mention that towards the end of the tub it started to clump together really bad, I have no idea why but I was always having to shake the container before getting a scoop out.

I've tried a few pre-workouts and PreSurge Unleashed has to be up there as one of my favourites. Contains a good portion of geranamine, which gives me a nice energy but I also didn't notice any crash which I have done with others (Jack3d in particular). As I say, a great pre-workout, perhaps not that ultra-wired feeling that some crave but a nice sustained energy and focus and mood enhancement. I don't find pre-workouts to be great tasting in general but this would probably be one of the better ones, certainly palatable. (I tried Fruit Punch flavour)

This is the first pre workout I used that contained caffiene. Im sensitive to stimulants but this was recommended to me from the sales rep at Vitamin Shoppe. I've taken Animal Pump minus the red pill, fast twitch caffiene free etc... The energy from this was great 1 tiny scoop and I was set the first day o used it I worked on biceps and could definitely feel the pumps (glyco carn baby) it was a clean energy and I just went through my workouts with this and noticed I could workout longer without fatigue. No crash which is a plus I've just finished a tub of this 45 servings 1 scoop $35 bucks isn't too bad. I've since have gained a tolerance so I now take 1 1/2 scoop pre workout. I gained definition and strength while on this product . Recommend it if your sensitive to stims or not . Also contains Creapure. Taste was great berry punch. If you like the pump feeling when lifting this is for you !

I went into my local Vitamin Shoppe to pick up more Hemo Rage Ultra Concentrate. After learning they were sold out and waiting on a new shipment so I figured I would give something else a try. The owner suggested PreSurge Unleashed, saying it was the best preworkout they had in the store. I bought a tub on the gentleman's suggestion and the fact that I had read so man good reviews on the product.

The first week I was on the product I loved it. The energy I recieved was excellent. It was such a clean with no "dirty" feeling you get from other PW products. My strength increased and the pumps were very good. I was really enjoying the product.

By the third week everything changed. That clean energy and focus I was getting was no longer there. I became tolerant to the product to fast. I then began taking more than 2 scoops at a time, which was a huge mistake because that then bothered my stomach and resulted in poor preformance at the gym. The pumps were still there but the motivation wasn't. The luster this product had two weeks prior was now dull.

The taste was terrible. I had the Citrus Frost flavor. Very chalky, but from what I hear the other flavor isn't much better.

Overall I would say this product is decent. The first two weeks on it were the best and then turned sluggish. Now all supplements work differently with different people, so give it a try and hopefully you will have a better experience beause for the price its worth a try. As for me, I will be sticking wit my Hemo-Rage Ultra Concentrate.

Let me start with how I ended up with this. I ran out of my old faithful Jack3d so I went down to my local Vitamin Shoppe to look around. I ended up buying the sample 10 serving size of NO Xplode NT to try something different. I used it twice and returned it. I have never returned a supplement until then. It sucked that bad. I was talking with one of the employees who I usually chat with while there, and he recommended PSU. He said it was getting more, and more popular with nothing but good reviews from customers. So I went with it.

First impressions on taste took me back to a little kid munching on a Flintstones vitamin. I'm usually not a mixed berry kinda guy, but I really don't mind drinking this. It has a nice flavor with a vitamin undertone just like a Flintstones. They have a new flavor called citrus ice which is supposed to be great. One review likened it to orange Gatorade.

Energy was outstanding. It was clean and jitter free. One scoop of this was comparable to about 2 scoops of Jack3d. Even though most of it is a prop. blend, I like how they at least give you the caffeine content (150mg).

Effectiveness was great. Pumps were fantastic. I had not heard of Glycocarn, but after reading up on it and using it I can tell you it works. Best of all Glycocarn actually has numerous studies to back it up. It is proven to increase plasma nitrate levels.

Value is pretty good also. Both times I bought it on sale for about $32. It's a little more than Jack3d, but I feel it packs a little more punch. It has 45 servings per container.

I'm halfway through my second tub, and I really think this is my new favorite pre-workout. Sorry Jack3d. You had a good run, but PSU is my new mistress.

The taste and energy were the highlights of PreSurge for me. It gave me energy no doubt but nothing out of the norm of drinking coffee or taking a caffeine pills.

I was using Jack3d for a while love the product but I started noticing a tolerance to it so I picked up some pre surge Unleashed. After going through this product I can honestly say I have found a new favorite pre workout supplement. It gives me great energy, the pumps are insane and my body would feel rock hard even the day after training. Strength gains were good and I even noticed that I was getting more cut with the product. I am very pleased with pre surge Unleashed and will continue to use the product. The only down side is that I was using 2 scoops so the product ran out pretty quickly. Other than that, its a solid product and it works great!

I had been using Jack 3d for a while with good results, but definitely built up a resistance to it. Intrigued by the carnitine / icarrin / herbal angle on PreSurge, I laid down the money to give it a try. It's pretty solid. I don't know that there's much of a "pump" outside of what the gym gives you anyway, but the energy and semi-euphoria are great. Tastes ok, and the endurance and desire to work it promotes is just what I was looking for. I've had a couple of great sessions, and suspect it'll help me get through some plateaus. Plan to go back and forth between Jack 3d and this to keep from building up too much of a tolerance to either.
