I was lookin around the market for a good
stimulant free pre-workout product as I'm not a big fan of caffeine in supplements, it doesn't really effect me too much and as far as I'm concerned it's not needed. So I decided to look no further than
ThermoLife Pump-Bol.
First things first:
Price - 6/10
One major problem, in Australia you can't get this as cheap as some places. Mrsupplement.com.au try and peddle it off at $89 dollars so I had to bite the bullet and buy from the US. The value however is much better than the price as the product is, I feel, a real winner.
Taste - 10/10
Oh my god, this has to be probably the best tasting
pre workout I think I've ever had. It's pretty sour and has a very citrus taste, just imagine shoving a handful of Vitamin C tablets in your mouth and chewing. I personally like it, however tastes change from person to person. However if I tried to drink it fast my eyes would water as it was extremely sour and tangy.
Consistency/Mixability - 8/10
It mixed relatively well in a shaker cup, no foam so to speak of. However when you mixed it with a spoon it would form some sediment. One issue I had was that it left a yellowish tinge to the shaker cup after the end of the tub. Nothing big.
Effects - 10/10
I've tried a lot of
pre workout supplements, and by a lot I mean A LOT. Hemo Rage, NO Xplode,
Black Powder, 1MR,
Jack3d,
Assault just to name a few; but never, ever have I felt a good clean pump like this before. Not only that the pump sticks around, even for a few hours afterward, not 7 hours like the tub states but still a very long time. I also noticed my endurance was up and my strength was up a little bit, and I did not get tingly during my sets which was a bonus. I also seemed to recover a bit quicker and I gained more
MASS using this than any other
pre workout I've tried.
All in all I think this is a good and well rounded product, especially if you're looking for some good clean energy that doesn't leave you jittery and make you crash afterwards. It has a lot of a NO producing ingredients, as that is the main focus. I cannot stress enough how incredible this pump was, I was almost convinced my arms were going to pop the first few times I used this. From what I can see,
ThermoLife has hit a winner here, next time I purchase this I'm planning on buying
C-BOL also to see if I can find a pump even better than this alone. Whilst using this product I also took some
Pure WPI,
Glutamine and Creatine from a local Australian company called Dynaplexx, I also took
Scivation'>
Scivation Xtend (I swear by the stuff), definitely planning on buying this again.
