Big shout out to Snagency for getting me a packet of samples.
Like always, anyone who sends me free product. I like to at least give them an honest review, good or bad.
I was mainly looking into Stimu8 because of reviews I've read or random chatter. So lets get this started.
Taste: I feel like I've had this flavor before or something very similar. I can't put my finger on what the other product was. But my sample was Tropical Storm and it wasn't bad at all. I didn't mind drinking, the only thing is, I'm not sure if I had a full tub if I might get sick of the flavoring. Like I said I can't put my finger on the other product with similar flavor but as I drank this I felt like that flavor wasn't something I enjoyed long term.
Mixability: I put this in a blender bottle as I always do with my preworkouts. Mixed flawlessly. I had no chunks or grit at all. Even when I was done drinking it and got home to wash the bottle there was zero residue in the shaker cup.
Effects/energy: To give an idea what my protocol is on preworkouts. I leave my gym stuff in my car, after work I get in the car and mix my powder up and drink it. It's about 10-15 minute drive and then I have to get changed at the gym. I was about a block or two away from the gym when I could feel the Stimu8 kick in which was super fast. At first it was one of those feelings of a stim rush that brough a smile to your face. The day seems to just get a bit brighter outside. So I got to the gym and was ready to go.
The first thing I noticed as soon as I left the locker room and touched a weight was I was sweating like I had taken a strong thermo product. It was warm out but not that warm, probably mid 60's. I also noticed whenever a cool breeze hit me I was shivering and sweating at the same time. At the beginning of the workout I didn't feel too stim'd out but felt good to be in the gym. Focus was enhanced but not quite laser like. For whatever reason I was really into the music that was playing in my headphones.
As the workout shifted from chest to tri's I started feeling different. As I was doing dips I felt like my heart was going to come through my chest after each set, the feeling didn't last long. I also started to feel shaky just a bit. I feel that if I had not been working out I would have noticed the shakes a lot more. I was speeding like a champ at this point and was wondering if I was going to be able to sleep at night.
Cardio was a breaze and I stopped noticing the heart pounding when doing cardio which was odd because I do HIIT. Anyway I was feeling better than I had just 10-15 minutes earlier.
Left the gym and even 2-3 hours after dosing the product I was feeling alert and good. I felt amazing at this point, smooth energy and in an overall good mood. But it was getting late and I was worried. Went for a walk around my town and started to settle down.
Needless to say I was able to sleep just fine. This stuff is strong and lasts a good while in the enrgy department but once it starts to wear off it does so pretty quickly. But I didn't experience any harsh crash.
I'd recommend this product but I'd probably use it at half a dose for awhile.
