I'm so pumped to run them. I have a buddy that raves about Hemavol and I've never tried an intra before.

Always saw people putting it up there in the top pre-WO so it'll be tough to see. Only used plain BCAAs intra so Compete should be good.

How's the taste?
I got lemon drop in both, & lemme tell ya.. The pre-wo mix of a scoop of both is the best powdered supplement I've ever tasted together. Actually look forward to drinking it. lol

Lol that's awesome man!! I never even considered the combo when picking my flavors. Will be interesting to see what watermelon and tangerine taste like mixed.

I'm pretty sure I told them flavor didn't matter, but that combo tastes like a lemon shake up you get at the state fair. Delicious. Lol

What's up fellas??? Took 1 scoop Hemavol and 1 scoop of Compete on an empty stomach. The first thing I noticed was the taste. Even with my goofy combo of Watermelon and tangerine I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor. Not too sweet, just right. I also was really happy with how well it mixed. Couldn't wait to get after it tonight!!

Compare it to other pre workouts. I know this is only the first dose/day. But compared to others, what do you think? Anything different?

Focus seemed to be better than other pwos, pump was on par with jack3d. Taste was better than most. I would rate it fairly well so far.

My forearms , elbows and wrists are really sore tonight all of it stemming from The pinkie side of my arm not sure if it's from the spider curls or going up on db curls.

Veins in my forearms are really starting to pop around the clock, not just during my workout.
Here's a couple of pics from a few minutes ago.
