First off, this product was recommended to me, and was a little skeptical at first. I had never heard of this product much less the company, but I had just finished a container of
Jack3d, and wanted something with a cleaner burn. This product definitely delivered. I'll go into detail below. I chose the Blue Rasp. flavor.
Previous PWO's used:
Muscle Marinade, M5, N-Zero,
Jack3d, Superpump 250,
NO-Xplode,
Buzzerk, HemoRage, WhiteFlood, Launch.
First, I was using this product solo for a pwo, but I experimented and stacked it for a week with
Cellucor M5 towards the end(free-sample why not?). I was using the typical
Optimum Nutr. Whey and
Purple Wraath as an intra. Not a bad stack.
Mixability: 7/10
Turned the water a cool thick blue color, but still had chalky bits at the bottom. Its nothing a little extra water at the end cant fix tho. If left to sit out for a few hours, it settles and you gotta reshake it, but it instantly gains its old color back.
Taste: 6/10
Strangely this product smells MUCH better than it tastes. It literally made my mouth water just smelling it lol. So mixin it up I thought this had to taste pretty freakin' sweet. WRONG. Its been over a year since my last tub and I can still remember the taste. It has a bitter/subtle taste. Absolutely not one of the worst ive ever had, but not one of the best either. Kind of a happy medium. Its not too sour or sweet. A little chalky after taste tho. But who cares about taste when results matter?
Effectiveness: 9/10
I never give 10's and RARELy give 9's, but this one earned it's 9. My first 45 minutes after taking it was the perfect amount of time for it to kick in. I had to experiment with it, because if I wait too long, Ill loose the effect in my opinion. I could start to feel a
Drive to workout. It wasnt the jittery climb-the-wall energy like
Jack3d or Superpump. Just a desire to workout. Like the feeling you NEED to. On the way to the gym I usually put an extra hald scoop to drink on the way just to put me at that sweetspot. While working out
I had a great intensity. I didnt sweat my ass off like with
Muscle Marinade either. I just had a clean focus and the
Drive to push myself. I also had that agression in the gym. It was kinda the feeling that you own the place and it gave me some awesome workouts. I definitely kept a good
Momentum and it lasted me through the toughest leg days. It gives off a great pump and definitely gives you the "swoll" look lol.
Aftermath: I really didn't have a crash after it wore off. Yes I was dog tired, but that just means a good day at the gym. Im a night owl and sometimes I get home late from class, which results in late workouts. I had no problem sleeping after this, at least it was that way for me. Once youre done youre done though so dont try to come back later on the same serving.
Overall: 9/10
This was a great change-up for me. I had never had a pwo like this little guy and I picked up a containter for around 38? If I remember correctly. So for about 40 workouts its not a bad deal. It has a huge creatine profile, so its your choice to not use any additional creatine with it. You dont have to take 4 scoops towards the end like with
jack3d so theres no cheating lol. Im a big guy and 1 to 1 1/2 scoops was enough for me. Will I take it again? Absolutely.
