Purus Labs Island Punch to your Face! and D-pol

[broken bottle]

Hey all. Welcome to my Purus log for Condense and D-Pol. I will be using the brand new Island Punch Condense and dpol tablets. Current training is 5/3/1 and I am on 9th cycle. I'm at a bit of a dilemma as I really want to try the Juggernaut method. Last week was my 3's week. I pulled 420x9, squatted 350x10, benched 200x6, and strict pressed 125x9. Haven't actually got my stack yet but hopefully it comes today. I'm eating at a super slight deficit right now trying to slim down that midsection. Macros at 35 35 30. 3000 ish calories, and no cardio. Weight was 235 last I checked. Any input on juggernaut method is appreesh!

 

[Danb2285]

In..but I thought you were logging island punch?

 

[Grambo]

Let's get these going

Ayo!

 

[broken bottle]

Well I went and lifted for the day. Came up after last squat UPS shows up.

Argh!!!! I just lifted!!!!!,

 

[broken bottle]

Took 3 dpol caps!

 

[broken bottle]

Taking a scoop and a half for strict press day later, IF I decide to lift. I got very little sleep last night. <4 hrs. I am miserable and training might be a bad idea.

On a good note I opened the condense yesterday and it smells like a tropical pineappley cocktail! Super excited to try it!

 

[ryanp81]

Nice dude !!! even the boxes the orders come in are bad ass lol.

Should be getting my order today...can't wait.

 

[broken bottle]

Well a smart man would have rested up and trained when their body was ready. I am not a smart man. I trained my ass off even though I've been up since 11 pm last night. What a true test of these two products. I took a scoop and a half of the condense. Very light flavor, taste, and color. I was really surprised!! I am so used to preworkouts so disgusting I can barely keep them down and I gag and make terrible faces as I choke them down. Condense is truly a treat! Within minutes I really started to feel better, newsflash I felt like utter crap! I actually wanted to train because training always makes me feel better. Anyway took my 3 dpol caps and my condense 30 minutes before lifting. Strict presses today for me. I'm using my 5/3/1 1's week to test maxes for when I start Juggernaut method. I worked up to a 160 strict press for a PR match. Went for 170 but couldn't unrack it from shoulders. No way I was going out like that. Tried again at 170 and pressed that sucker up with better form than my 160. I did some chins got some more volume on presses, curls, and db lateral raises(with dumbbell in crook of arm). Really nice arm vascularity, I also noticed I had a real nice pump and could see my muscles through my skin more than usual. Trained for 70 minutes and I felt great the whole time. Real nice endurance. I hope you guys are getting how utter crap I felt and how much better I was after these two Purus products. I will post my actual training later when I'm not so flipping tired. Nothing like 12 hour work shifts that start at 5 am, let me tell you. I will also post some lifting vid in the future. /end rant

Just got my condense on! 1.5 scoops for some ME Deadlifts! I'm actually fighting a cold so I'm not happy about that. 18 minutes after condense I'm getting some face tingles and narrowing focus. I love beta alanine, I'm glad Purus included it.


I want to speak on the serving size and flavor. These scoops pack a punch! I feel like they are deceptively small. It really makes me wonder what the heck is in other preworkouts I've taken. Then the taste, holy crap this island punch tastes amazing! So light and fresh, and no chemical gagging taste. I'm in awe. Its time to go stand up with some heavyass weight. One last thought, I'm glad you included a long handled scoop Purus. Scoop was on top when I opened and I don't have to fight to get my hand in the tub!!!

 

[ryanp81]

That deceptively small scooper indeed packs a punch dude.

The whole blend of BA, nitrates, betaine, caffeine and betaine will crush through any plateau and just keep you going and going...think about it how many products can do that in just 1 actual scoop ???

[broken bottle]

Took a scoop and a half for bench press. I love the taste of Condense and the experience of drinking it, what a pleasure. Great vascularity and focus. Got another PR today. Total of 3 for the week. 2 using condense and dpol. Look forward to getting back to 531. I've decided even though I was going to switch routines to the Juggernaut method, for the sake of this log and purus' generosity I will stay on 531 for 1 more cycle. I might do a back and bis hypertrophy workout tomorrow, we'll see!

Scoop and a half. Took it easy on strict press, last week was rough. Chins were strong I don't normally do triples so I'm happy I am now. Maybe quads are in my near future! I actually would have liked something more geared towards a pump for this but then again for squats and deads I wouldn't want that pump.

Squat day.
I didn't expect much spending many hours hunched over changing brakes and rotors on my car, plus training really late. Oh yeah, broke a freaking bolt off a caliper mounting bracket. So that just made my day. So I used 2 scoops to combat all the things working against me. Worked pretty well but I just didn't have the strength for my squat top set nor the energy to do my hack squat burn set.

Midway review. So I'm pretty far into the d-pol and Condense. I know the d-pol has raised my libido for a fact, just because I am more interested in getting booty, I can perform better, and more often per day. D-pol is a winner no doubt about it. I prefer capped form suppz but not d-pol because the custard creme tastes so amazing. These caplets are a bit bulky and sharp edged going down.
Condense, a solid preworkout with beta alanine tingles. 1 scoop is enough to get you going. 1.5 is my preferred dose. 2 scoops is what I take when I need to or want to perform really good and really get my CNS firing. Tastes really great! No awful preworkout faces from awful tasting powder. Lately I've been mixing with some pineapple Bcaa's and its like I'm in the tropics lol.

This was a Juggernaut practice run. Super setting the rows is not in the routine, nor is the incline press. Horizontal rowing should be after bench press, but I frequently superset just to save time. I can handle more row volume so more reps next time.

Heaping scoop again. Gets the job done, no need to take 2 scoops if one scoop is scientifically validated to be enough. Its a marathon not a race.

Caps are a bit big and sharp edged. I do prefer a capped form but custard creme is too good not to get.

In the gym dpol gives energy for days. You can train and train and train and train.

In the bedroom I found increased performance, and an increase in the number of performances. An epic win!

I love dpol. Wish I could afford to always have it on hand.

Update coming. Been busy with travel and an interview.

tl:dr update, been using 1 scoop, gets me super ready to lift. Good trainings.

 

[broken bottle]

Big assed update.
Ive been using 1 scoop only, I love how the beta alanine tingles come on and really gets me pumped to lift. I either mix the condense with some pineapple bcaa's or Pure pf3. Both taste amazing!
Lifting has been going good, plugging along on the new juggernaut routine. Ive been taking vitamin d daily to make up for not getting it from d-pol. Its not the same lol.

Last training for the log! I was scraping the bottom of the tub and I thought there was about 2 scoops but I guess there's maybe a scoop left still. 1 and 2/3 scoops Condense for today's squats. I had big plans so i wanted to perform well. I was super warm and was always ready for more throughout today's training. I didn't feel strong but I was real able to perform. Put in some serious squat volume followed up by a PR on rack pull then powershrug.

Condense Island Punch

Taste, 10/10 Great light flavor that pairs well mixed with bcaa's, and also I tried pf3 mixed with condense. Both were really good. In every preworkout log Ive ever done Ive tried to be nice about saying the flavor pretty much sucks. Condense is the new benchmark imo for preworkout flavoring and taste.

Dye, No dye. Not a big deal if its there or not but I prefer no dye.

Beta alanine: I prefer a preworkout with beta alanine and condense has it.

creatine: no creatine I prefer to supplement my own creatine mono and dont like getting it micro dosed to me in preworkouts, especially in proprietary blends.

caffeine: gotta have it! Condense has it!

Energy: Condense gave me energy to do high volume sets with pretty heavy weight! Paired with d-pol loads of energy!

Performance: Always great performance, even when I scaled down to 1 scoop sessions mid-log.

Honestly this is a product that performs with minimal ingredients and tastes amazing.
Thank you Purus Labs.
