Background:
- I am in no way a BSN fan(just check out my review of CellMass if you want proof of that).
- I switched up my routine a bit while running this product. I never had straight up lifting days and straight cardio days like I am used to. I used this product with an hour of lifting then an hour of cardio each day.
- I ran this product in the morning pre-gym and took a pill of Super HD 6 hours later.
Ingredient Profile - 8/10 - To me, this is the weak point of the supplement. It's kind of a jack-of-all trades, master of nothing product. It's got Beta Alanine to help with muscle fatigue, but not many other muscle building components. No pump ingredients. It's got the good ole BSN loving "pepper" ingredients for weight loss, but none of the other top of the line Weight Loss stuff that other companies have. It's also got DAA, which...seems...interesting in the product, but isn't properly dosed.
Taste and mixability - 9/10 - I got the Blue Raz and I don't know where the others got that this stuff is bad, I love it. It's got that "candy" taste to it, but no bad aftertaste at all. I did enjoy the tingliness of it as it went down and stayed down. It had my skeptical due to the tingliness that it would make me gassy or bloated, something NO-Xplode(and 2.0) does to me, but that was not the case. No gross burps, no bloatiness. The supplement also mixed well, very minimal residue at the bottom of my glass.
Price - 10/10 - I buy my supps from Amazon and this stuff was $20 shipped. 30 Servings for $20 is extremely solid. As I never built up a tolerance, I could continue with just one scoop(and at 270 mg of caffeine per scoop...going 2 scoops would be pretty bananas...).
Effectiveness - 10/10 - This stuff gives me an energy that is truly insane. It took about 15 minutes to kick in, but once it did, it gave me a clearmindedness like few other supplements can match. Now mind you, my workouts were hybrid workouts when I took this supplement, but I would sit on the machines or stand in front of the rack thinking, "ummm, do I wanna go for the max on this or take it easy for maintenence?....MAX!". During the cardio section, I could just go and go and go. I worked up a mean sweat but never got fatigued. Can not say enough about the energy, it was like a 16 hour orgasmaglow experience.
I am extremely happy with the results from this product. It's not going to be a pump supplement, so I wouldn't recommend it if you are looking to put on muscle. I was looking to lean out and while taking a Super HD with it, I got the results I was looking for and more. It's a great supplement for what it is, which is sort of a "***tail" of training stuff which gives you the energy and focus you need in the gym.
