First I just want to say thanks to APS and Judgement Day for letting me try this out. I'm always on the look out for the next thing to give me an edge in the gym. Also, thanks for the shirt and shaker! They kick ass! I'm gonna have to cut the arms off of that shirt though. LOL
O.K. So I just got my tub of Mesomorph today. Currently I'm training in a 5x5 type of routine and I just reset my weights today. Figured it was a good time to try this out.
First Impression: Wow that's a big scoop! LOL. I haven't seen one like that since the original N2KTS. So, I just took one.
Flavor: I'm not sure what flavor this is supposed to be really. Sort of reminded me of the typical "Fruit Punch" flavor. It's light and sweet though and not the least unpleasant. (5/5)
Mixing: Mixed really easily in seconds with a fork in a water glass. No problems here and it didn't settle back out like some stuff does. (5/5)
I took this about 30 mins before my workout. 20 before I left for the gym. In the car over I started to get the "tingles". Not terrible like the old N2KTS used to give you(not that I minded that, I liked it!). Subtle. Within 5 mins in the car I noticed I was getting really focused in. Energy was amping up already. By the time I got to the gym I was ready to sprint across the parking lot! I had to pace myself. I usually start my workout with 10 mins on the elliptical just to get warm and generally loosen the old bones up. I kept having to slow myself down because I noticed I was "sprinting" on the elliptical several times. I was dying to get to the lifting part of this. Longest 10 mins of my life...
So I get my warmup sets in and go for my first set. As soon as I lay down on the bench I notice I've got a TON of energy but, my focus is off bad. So, I go for my first work set and it goes pretty good. As I worked through my sets I kept noticing that I had ridiculous energy but couldn't focus really well. I made it through all of my sets but I crapped out on my last rep on the bench. Mentally I thought for sure I had it but I didn't even get close. Seemed I was more "stimmed" than strong at that point.
As the workout progressed the energy stayed on. The focus slowly got better. This was 6 hours ago. For the last couple of hours I've been super focused! I wouldn't recommend taking this late in the evening or you may not sleep if you're sensitive to this sort of thing.
All in a all I notice mucho stim and very little focus. For me I like focus as I find it helps me more than a stim to move weight. That said I had a great workout and the drive carried me through everything I did no problem. Including supersetting cable tripresses with hanging leg raises at the very end of my workout. My heart was racing but I was still pounding out the reps.
I'm not going to give an overall performance score just yet. I want to play with it for a while and see what happens. Tomorrow is leg day and I think I'll dose it the same and see what happens. Squats are always a good way to evaluate anything!
So, fun first time out. Let's see what the next couple of weeks bring.
THANKS AGAIN APS!
EDIT: I forgot to mention the pump. I'm not sure how I forgot that. It was ridiculous. I felt like I needed someone to hold my arms down so I didn't get "air lat" syndrome walking around. My chest was full as ever and my arms were just balloons. (5/5) here.
