First off thanks to SAN and especially Poison for hooking me up with some samples to give this one a try! I received 2 packs of Wild Cherry flavor and 2 packs of Orange. It's nice to have both to review since the flavor is a major component of most reviews on these types of products. I'll give my impressions of both.
I started out with the cherry flavor on Monday.
Taste: 8/10 Really good flavor. Not overpowering in any sense. Not wickedly colored (LitUP). Does have an aftertaste. Reminded me a little of APS mesomorph on the aftertaste side but not nearly as bad.
Mixability: 10/10 Definite win here. Gave it a few shakes in a mixer and it mixed right up. I was impressed by that because there's a ton of powder in this packet. A TON!
Energy: 9/10 Wasn't crazy jittery. Just solid balanced energy that pushed me through my workout.
Stamina: 9/10 Lasted. Plain and simple.
Crash? = None Here's where I had a bit of a problem. I dosed this at 4:45 pm I couldn't sleep until about 1:30 am! I felt fine. My mind was just VERY alert still. I'm not sure what ingredient kept me up that long. I'm not particularly caffeine sensitive and I didn't get any heartpounding overstimed feeling at the gym. I just couldn't shut my mind off! So, I'm holding off until Friday on my second try. I may dial the dose back slightly just in case but I don't have to get up saturday so I'm safe. LOL
I'm doing volume training right now so this carried me through 10 set of 10 reps on BB flat bench. 3 sets of decline flies and hanging leg raises. These workouts are grueling to say the least and I'm not taking any other supplement right now save protein and creatine. So at first blush I'm pretty impressed by Fierce. I'll continue to log it out and see how it goes. Friday is squat day so 100 squats should be a good test of any product!
