Alright so thanks Edje and the Finaflex team for setting me up for my first beta test!

Have 10 servings of Stimul8 and I'm surprised that its Apple! (Where's the grape?)

But anyway gonna try it in a bit after I make some protein fluff!

Okay so first impression

I already talked about solubility, a couple spins of a spoon and it was good to go.

Taste I thought was a bit medicine-like at first but when I started taking bigger drinks instead of taster sips I really enjoyed the flavor. Slight after taste so I guess that's why the sip wasn't as enjoyable. Overall pretty crisp

Energy & focus it hit me pretty quick within 10 minutes I was in the zone, like fast and the furious nitrous zone! Hr went up a good bit too, I was cold because of my trucks A/C then something clicked and I was instantly a furnace.

The workout I blasted through. What normally would take me an 75 minutes took me about 50-55. I didn't wanna stop. To be honest I expected a bit more, mainly cuz of the marketing from the Fina team :p lol. It was good don't get me wrong I had a great workout I just wasn't cracked out, which is fine with me since I lift pretty late anyway.

I flipped the tub a couple times to mix it up but maybe the scoop I got wasn't on par with the batch.

Only time will tell!

Will post lifts here shortly I need a shower!

Cutting 25 minutes off your workout isn't satisfactory enough? :hitwithrock:
Like I said the stim was good I just was expecting a stronger kick :)

Edit- Maybe I should also add I was expecting a scoop 2-3 times larger than this. So that definitely added to my stated preconception.

I think that in the heat of the moment some things don't seem what you thought they'd be. But looking back, if I cut 25min off my workout and still got all the work done, I'd say it was a good day.

K day 2

Legs killed everything I had to do in 35-40 (I break it up into quads one day and hams a different day)

Mixed up the tub before getting a scoop.

One scoop in 8-9 ounces again quick mix of the spoon. Taste was a lot better this time, that first taste the other day was just funny I guess. So I retract my statement on the after taste. (I even just brushed my teeth like 10 minutes before)

Felt a bit wired this time, basically what I expected the first time. I didn't talk, didn't acknowledge anyone just walked to the squat rack and started my warm up.

Squats
4 sets 8-12
Didn't wanna stay away from the bar! I pulled up a bench for my usual sit after a set but I only used it to keep my water jug on top of LOL

Split squat on hack squat
4 sets 12
These are a pain in the ass, well quad. No real rest just go from leg to leg

Leg extensions
7 sets of 10
Start at 65, rest 10 seconds and move the pin a plate down every time.

So all in all THIS is what I expected the first time. Sure I felt energized the first time but it was like "hidden" if that makes sense...today I really felt the energy surging through me. More of a drive and a "what are rest periods mood?"

I should have added the first day for arms I went alone instead of with my friend. So that alone shaved off a good 15-20 minutes. Maybe that'll clear some of that up.

Second impression: better than the first
+1 to taste
+1 to energy
+1 to drive

The first one was just a tease honestly, energy stopped just short of ridiculous. Today it past that level

I dunno, I'll keep mixing the tub before I scoop for sure though

Some awesomeness to report. I got stronger THROUGH my workout.

So there's a little u turn overpass that leads me to my gym (its a hard right after you come out of it) I drank the Stimul8 in 4 ounces of water right as I was getting into the lane to make the u.

Incline db
90 x12 (felt way harder than it should have. Waiting...)
105 x6 (alright now I'm kinda pissed off) + 70 x6
Said FTBS still waiting...
105 x6 again and 70 x6
Forreal this time (Stimul8 kicked in)
105 x10 + 70 x6

SHAZZAM!!!!!

Incline Hammer Strength
1 plate x12
What's rest?
2 plates x12
Again ^
3 plates x5 (didn't get 8 so I had to make up with volume) + 2 plates x7 + 1 plate x12

Sweating pretty good

Cable crossovers
I did like 7 sets of these. I lost count honestly, the drive was that good.

Decline Hammerstrength (slowing down but that's cuz all that non rest caught up to me)

Went up to 3 plates and a quarter. Typically 12 12 12 8 layout I do

Incline smith for some added pumpage
1 plate for 3 sets of 10

Damn felt good.

k so took a little break, joints were getting progressively more and more agitated to the point where I could pop my elbow and knees repeatedly.

and today I woke super early (dog wouldnt stfu), had to go to a dentist appointment, then my moms car had a screw in the tire so I spent like 2 hours at discount tire before I even had a meal for the day.

(I promise this is going somewhere this isnt me just whining)

so I was exhausted, mentally and physically. but for the save of the log I decided to go to the gym anything. 1 heaping scoop plus 1/3 of a scoop in like 4 ounces water. mixed with a straw and drank it (just got my teeth cleaned remember)

ANYWAY

I got to the gym and I was feeling meh

incline db
90 x15
everything else in between was taken so jumped to
110 x6
still was exhausted

so I go to the rack and set up some rack presses
SHAZAM
got hit with all this energy
I had never done rack presses before and I was just worried that my strength was going down so I incorporated some powerlifting methods AND I felt thats a portion of my chest I could bring up to get a nice full look
135x12
225x10
275x4 wtf felt weird, didnt wanna f myself up
225x8x8
135x10

felt good bros

then I went to go hit my Incline Hammerstrength but of course some guy is doing marathon sets on it so YOLO (jk)

incline barbell
135x12
185x6
135x12x12x13 (one extra for no real reason)

Cable Flyes
5 sets of 16

I am writing this 5 hours later and this is probably the best run of it yet. still a little tired mentally but I could go for a run and be just fine. I like that, sometimes its fun to walk or job when you are brainfried so I might just do that to relax.

I got this brand new baby that steals sleep from me. Sounds like stimul8 is a lifesaver. Doing good things in here. Can't wait to get my hands on this stuff.

Hey man congrats I didn't even know!

But yeah it's pretty good and good tasting especially at the 4 ounce area. And I figured going when I absolutely just wanted to close my eyes and sleep (I took was in a half snooze half awake state of mind at the tire shop) would really show what this baby can do.

I basically gave my body to science haha
