CytoSport Fast Twitch is one of my favorite supplements. I am a huge fan of CytoSport and the Muscle Milk protein line. I am a powerlifter so my training consists of heavy weight and low repetitions, nothing over 5 reps.

I took Fast Twitch for the first time in preparation for the my first bench press competition at the LA Fitness Expo 2009. I competed raw and bench press 525 lbs!

CytoSport Fast Twitch really helped me train for that competition and gave me a great energy boost. Powerlifting training is brutal and I train for around 2-3 hours, resting anywhere from 10 -30 minutes between sets. CytoSport gave me a long lasting energy boost and helped me lift with more focus and intensity.

I took the Power Punch Flavor which I bought for $25.99 off BodyBuilding.com. Serving size is 1 scoop and there is 40 servings per container.

Energy: Great energy, intensity and focus. Definitely the best pre-workout for athletes.
200 mg of Caffeine.

Performance enhancement blend of Calcium Citrate, Potassium Citrate, Magnesium Orotate, Potassium Aspartate really floods your muscle’s with nutrients for better performance and more endurance!

Did not feel much of crash which I see people listed as a 'Con' of this supplement.

Definitely recommend this product!

I have used several containers of Fast Twitch over the years and Go Grape is the best flavor. I won't sit here and tell you this is the best pre workout powder on the market because it's not. For the quality of flavoring (grape) and price this is a no brainer deal. You won't find a better deal on another pre workout powder. This stuff is priced cheaper than Shock Therapy by Universal and this taste a whole lot better. The effects are average with Fast Twitch. Price is low the taste is amazing and it's pretty average in all other areas. This is my pre workout powder of choice based on price alone.

I'm usually a fan of Cytosport, but this stuff is pointless, especially if you are a daily coffee drinker(even if its just one cup). I'm not sure how the other flavors are, but I got grape and its really bad. It tastes awful(sour and chalky) and gives me stomach aches every time i drink it. It gave me a slight energy boost, but nothing compared to Apex Max Nitric Oxide Rush, jack3d, or N'Sane. I also felt no pump while using this, it ended up just being a waste of money and I only got about half way through the tub if that.

Don't waste your money, there are better products out there such as the ones i have listed above.

I generally take Cytosport Fast Twitch during Track and Field season. This time of year my training usually consists of lower reps, lower weights, and an increase in speed/explosiveness of reps. I am 5'10" and my weight during track season is usually around 175. My staple lifts during season are half squat jumps, clean pulls or explosive dead lifts, explosive barbell box step ups, and sled pulls on astro-turf.
Cytosport Fast Twitch is great for athletes because it works great as a supplement not only to weightlifting but jogging, sprinting, plyometrics, and other sports related exercises. There are no jitters or come-downs you feel after HemoRage or Jack3d. Your mind is on-point and you feel in tune with your body.

I highly recommend Fast Twitch for athletes looking to increase their stamina, focus, and pump during high intensity athletic practices or competitions.

This was my first PWO drink. I chose it because Cytosport seems to be a reputable company. I have only chosen to review this after trying a couple of other PWOs.

Effectiveness: Fast Twitch does get me motivated to work out and brings a decent intensity. The only problem is that it makes me feel dehydrated. I tried using this when I was sparing more often and doing jiu-jitsu. It did relieve a lot of fatigue, but I found myself needing to drink more water. I also encountered this while lifting weights and not doing cardio. So, for me this was a good intro to PWOs, but I have found that I don’t dehydrate as much using Jack3d. It feels like Fast Twitch is kind of syrup like and I may not be able to process it well. Tried adding more water, but still gave me mad cotton-mouth when doing any kind of sparing or intense cardio.

Value: This stuff seems to last. I found it hard to take more than one scoop, because of the amount of water needed to mix. But, Jack3d is about the same price and works better for me.

Overall:My experience with the product is that it dehydrates me. I have tried other PWOs that don’t do this to me, so, I won’t be purchasing this product again. When I did use it, it reduced fatigue and allowed me to perform with intensity even with cotton-mouth.

I have gone through a couple tubs of Fast Twitch before and am just now deciding to rate it. I have tried or sampled pretty much every pre-workout out there, as I work at a supp shop. I always go back to Fast Twitch. The caffeine is dosed perfectly so it gives you just a kick without the jitters. The kre-alkalyn gives you a strength increase. The arginine and citrulline give the best pump of any product I have tried. You only need one scoop, so you are guarenteed 40 workouts, so there is no "take between 1-3 scoops" bs. It is my favorite pre and I will be buying again. Monster Pump is pretty much the same thing, but with waxy maize. I can get a good hour and a half lift off this product and the pump stays with me the whole time.

The first tub of fast twitch I bought I liked it a lot. The problem I had was I got used to it very quickly. I have to take a double serving and even that doesn't really give me the pump it used to. I have also used White Flood and Jack3d. White Flood seemed to work best but would give me the runs. Jack3d was second without the runs. Fasttwitch just doesn't give that intensity that the others do. As for the caffine, it's really not that much. It's basically less caffine than 2 cups of coffee. I would recommend any one try this but if you're body is like mine you'll get used to it.

One of my favorite pre workout supplements..

This is the only pre workout (I have a big tolerance..) that gets my heart rate really going. I know that it has 200mg caffeine, as do many of these supps, but something about the blend that Cytosport has made gets me really hyped up.

That is good when compared to supplements like NO-Xplode that do nothing for me in the stimulant department, but it is occasionally an uncomfortable feeling to be that "up" in the gym.

The other slightly bad thing about this product that I noticed is that it does not last too long. For me, it is very strong for an hour- an hour and a half, and then I begin to crash.

Animal pump keeps my hyped up for at least two hours.

But all in all this is a very good supplement to take before working out worthy of a 9/10.

far superior to most of the pre workout market.

Pretty sure I've taken ever pre-workout sup. known to man. This company really does its homework, they add the cortisol lowering ingredient PS and the proven 200mg of caffiene. Cytosport really puts a lot of proven researched ingrediens in their stuff. Hence my 10 review. Energy is great, but the focus factor it what separates it from similar products.

I had to stop taking this supplement. There was just way too much caffeine. My heart would race during my workout and that made me very nervous. I will say that is does make you more alert and focused. I was take the grape flavor and it wasn't too bad, kind of sour. If you are sensitive to caffeine, beware.
