This is an interesting product that I started using few months ago and still am.

In the past years, I have tried almost every popular Pre-Workout product out there since 2004. I am a strong believer in their value and how they can help jump start your workout.

I got used to products loaded with stimulants, and did enjoy that crazy mental kick you get that makes you feel like you want to break the gym apart. The only issue, is though I feel motivated, my physique never changed (as I look back). So, at some point I realized that most of these products out there are just stimulant loaded with not much toward muscle gain.

So, I ventured into the Make-you-own Pre-workout mix. I was getting the raw ingredients and putting the dosage I want. It was a great experiment and exercise with a lot of control on dosage and quantity. But, this gets very pricey, very over whelming and at certain point you just get tired of it (so many bottles and scoops laying over the kitchen counter).

This brings me to Bulldozer XL5000. For me it was a dream come true with a proprietary blend free formula. A clean product with a transparent label and nothing to hide. No reliance on stimulants.

The first time I tried this product, at one scoop I didn't feel a crazy burst of energy. But, what happened was intrerestring as I started lifting. I felt I had more control on all my lifts, especially on the negative side of the lift. I was able to put heavier loads, yet feel in control of the weight going up and down. As I was also able to stay longer at the gym, longer than usual because I was increasing the number of sets (keeping reps within 6-10 range). I didn't have any crash, rather prolonged sense of energy that I want to do more.

Everytime I use Bulldozer Xl5000, I get the same feeling of sustained energy, focus, muscle control, pump and most importantly stamina and delayed muscle fatigue. IT was a very refreshing feeling.

At 2 scoops (1 serving before and 1 serving during as suggested to try as a pre and intra). Things were even more amazing, the stamina is an believable. I am almost aware of overtraining and always watch my workout routine to not exceed 1 hour (60 minutes). But with Bulldozer it is hard to control the urge to left more and go heavier, and I was able to lat for 2.5 hours (45 minutes on Squats alone). No crashing effect, great pump, controlled and sustained energy. Even when I went home, I didn't crash, I was just feeling happy and energized.

Here is my quick summary:

Taste: 8.5/10
The taste is OK. It has a light pinkish color when mixed with water. It is sweet, with a sour kick after taste that you will get used to. Again, I am not too picky on taste.

Mix: 10/10
Mixes easily with a spoon or shaker bottle. No bubbles, or foam or gas releases like other products. Again, the color is clear pinkish color.

Formula: 10/10
This is a dream come true formula for me. Everything I want from BCAAs, Glutamine, Creatine, Beta Alanine, Citrulline, Vinpocetine and much more. Transparent formula, nothing hidden, give me the freedom to control the dosage similar to how I was when making my own mix.

Effectiveness: 10/10
Great for endurance, delayed muscle fatigue, prolonged energy without crash or jitters or nausea or any side effect. Makes me sweat beyond normal, but keeps me energized and last longer than ever before and still lift heavy on every exercise.

Price/Value: 9/10
Great value and delivers a lot at 1 scoop. But if taken for Pre and Intra or Pre and Post (2 scoops a day) it can be costly.

Overall: 10/10
A very refreshing experience. Different from the energy-style stimulant loaded products in the pre workout category. This stuff works at the gym. Other pre workout products use stims to give energy which you feel before the gym but deliver zero value in the gym. Bulldozer XL500 delivers all the benefits at the gym, while working out.

Great product, I love the energy and focus I get from this product. At one scoop I get an amazing pump, and a lot of energy that last the entire 2 hour workout session. I never crashed on this, or felt drained rather I feel pump and energetic throughout the whole session. My strength has increased and I was able to add more poundage on every lift on a weekly bases.

Taste is not bad, it is actually refreshing, though it has a bitterness bite. It mixes very easly, I used a spoon. I also like the ingredient profile, it looks clean and nice. I also like the fact they list the dosage for every ingredient, and not proprietary blends. I like the combination of Arginine and Vinpocetine, together you get an amazing muscle pump. Also, the BCAAs (2.5 grams per scoop).

This has become my favorit pre/intra workout drink of all. The taste is great, it has everything I can think of, no bathroom runs or bloated stomach. And the stuff works right away.

I get insane energy on this thing, and incredible pumps. No jitters, though it has caffiene, but it did not bother me like other products. Most of all I love that it also has BCAA (2.5 grams per scoop). I take 1 scoop before and 1 scoop during my workouts.

Ok, this product was recommended to me to use by one of my colleagues. In the past I have tried other popular products but I was not pleased with two things: 1) overall effect since most of them rely on stimulants in which I would build tolerance against fairly quickly and in some cases a crash effect occurs on my first couple of dosages 2) I was always frustrated from the supplement fact list in which I had no clue what I am taking and what I am consuming.

Bulldozer XL5000 first blew me away from the profile and ingredient list. The taste was amazing, the effect was pretty impressive. I have been on this product since May, and no tollerance, and it still works on me. I love the BCAA, Glutamine addition with 2.5 grams of BCAA per scoop and 1.5 glutamine per scoop, which saves me time and money from buying and adding other ingredients.

This is one of the few products that contains Glycine and Carnitine-L-Tartrate. The product truly contains no fillers or fake ingredients. If you count the grams of each individual ingredient they all add up with nothing left for crap.

For me, this is a hidden gem, a product that really is under rates and not as well known, which I think is a great thing. Most companies when they become popular, their product quality changes and diminishes. Plus, if everyone takes the same thing what advantage do I have.

Love It, please make more flavors, and make a caffeine free version.
