5/5
I really enjoyed this product. Although the Nutritional facts is very misleading, labeling a majority of the ingredients as protein, it is rather effective. the "claims" on the bottle are a little misleading unless you read into the clinical study...basically it states that while on it you can increase your bench by 1067%....this is not to say from 200 --> 2000lb bench...more so 200 x 1 rep to 200 x 10 reps. that is what it was referring to...anyways onto the review
the stims on it were rather mild...about 100-150mg caffeine per scoop. the scoop size was pretty decent and yes it does froth up when you mix it up or stir it. its not a game changer for me, you just let the foam settle down and put it back. the taste (fruit punch) was flavorful and not overwhelming. the stims would hit me about 20-30 minutes after consumption (mornings on an empty stomach).
I did stack this with the NO synthesize but ended up using the Synthesize as my cardio preworkout since it does not contain caffeine and it worked out wonderfully.
the vascularity I got from this was intense. Not as much of a "pump" product to the point where it hurts to flex, but the vascularity is what sold me on the product. I am naturally a veiny kid but this had even the deepest of veins bulging out of my forearms, chest, shoulders and arms. Hulk-like...without the green tint.
the crash was pretty much non-existent. since it does not contain that much caffeine to begin with, its easy to use throughout the day. I did enjoy the addition of hordenine, which has been shown to lessen one's adaptation to stimulants...hence it only took 1 scoop each time to get the desired tunnel vision and mental clarity.
The tub is misleadingly large for the amount of powder you get...literally half the container is air.
would recommend if you are looking for a decent preworkout and are stim sensitive. Don't expect a caffeine high from this, its not meant for that (look into VPX Friction for that...literally 375mg of caffeine in that which would make me keel over).
