PumpJuice 2.0 Log and Review
When I heard prometabolix was coming out with a pre-workout product I was intrigued. I have used a number of their products and was always satisfied with the quality and especially the price. At the same time, I am generally not a fan of commercial cell volumizer formulas or packaged pre-work mixes. I generally tend to make my own. With that said, I want to thank Eddie and prometabolix for letting me test out their product.

Here is my current situation. I have just recently entered PCT after a very succesful lean bulking 10 week cycle. I have added good strength and size gains, and want to retain as much as possible. Enter PumpJuice and my thorough PCT regimen. I am primarily testing PumpJuice's psychological effects for providing good stamina, energy, and focus as compared to muscle gains etc. I will comment on both, but as I am entering PCT there are a number of variables that effect whether I retain/add/lose muscle and I acknowledge this. On the other hand, this is an almost identical cycle as I ran about 9 months ago, and the PCT regimen is the same. (I can post details if anyone is interested).
Day 1 (Sun Dec 4th)
Weight: same
I usually workout around noon, a few hours after getting up and eating breakfast. I will use a whey/dextrose/taurine shake with a little tri-creatine malate mixed in 15 minutes or so before and then finish it during my workout. I have decided to push this a little closer to my workout and take the PumpJuice2.0 30-40min pre-workout.
Today, I took 1 heaping scoop of the pumpjuice in 6oz of water in a shaker. There was some slight clumping but a spoon took care of that easily. As for taste, I am not a fan of orange flavored things but it tasted pleasant nonetheless. Some chemical/supp taste, comparable to Leptigen Mass.
The PJ kicked in about 5-10 minutes after I hit the gym. It was definetly a pleasant stimulation. Focused but not scattered or jittery. The stimulation was much more subtle than regular caff, ECA, or even custom's Power Jolt. As far as my workout, every lift continued to go up...which is very nice considering I am transitioning into PCT mode. After I had completed my workout I felt like I still had energy to spare and this gradually diminished throughout the day. no crash.
While I did not notice significant pump/volumization during the workout, I did notice that my biceps and forearms (I did a leg/bicep volume day) were still pumped 5-6 hours after my workout, noticeably so. First day's experience was positive.
