Chaos and Pain Cannibal PermaSwole



Taste

Strawbloody kiwi crush – Right away you get a small strawberry taste, but is overshadowed by a strong fruit punch aftertaste. The Kiwi/Strawberry/Fruit Punch combination what I tasted after a few servings is very unique. While the strawbloody impression based off being the first name in the flavor is not as strong as expected. The name is quite deceiving as I got more of a Kiwi Fruit Punch in flavor. While I think this flavor is good, the Green apple IMO is still superior in taste, density, and boldness.

Mixability

I like to play around with Mixability and dosing to see what my sweet spot is. Because this is a first time review I wanted to try and do this with 1 scoop only to start as suggested by the label and then re-assess. I tried 8-10-12 oz with 1 scoop of the product and each time it mixed perfectly fine. After about 10-15 seconds of shaking there was no particles floating around and everything was dissolved.




Formula



L-Citrulline is 2g, which is a little low for a one serving product most studies show 6-8g is the optimal range to get the full benefits of this sole ingredient, that is not to say you could stack something with the PermaSwole or bulk to reach that. But this does aid lactic acid build up and performance.

500mg Agmatine → A pump agent and also a nutrient partioniner. This is a great bulk item to add for a non-stim to help with pump and also shuttle nutrients, those who add a bulk of carbs around their workout may notice this and how it helps amplify the pump in the presence of carbs.

1.5g BA which helps aid performance and endurance during training, a split dose that is upward to 3.2-4g of BA is optimal, and at 1.5 that is very close to a good amount

250mg Creatinol-O-Phosphate, while this is not creatine per say it does help with performance and endurance by how it is broken down in the system.

200mg L-Norvaline I have personally responded well to as far as small enhancement in pumps and also nutrient shuttling (Seen in GDA’s)

200mg Pomegranate is a powerful anti-oxidant that is added to the formula,

150mg Resveratrol is used to help with performance enhancement not only training, but also cardio as well.

10g Niacin, some do not enjoy this because they breakout in a red state on their face (Niacin Flush) but this can help with many health benefits (Cholesterol) and an anti-oxidant effect.

Workout Reaction

Being a non-stim pre-workout it will be hard to even gauge anything relating to energy, so for this I am going to key in on my pump, vascularity, and also how I respond as far as endurance and performance goes due to the fact of BA, L-Citrulline in the product, and Creatinol O Phosphate. Starting with 1 scoop and then assessing for a few workouts and then going to jump to 1.5-2 for some to see the major difference with the increase in ingredients in the formula. That is primary focus of this log and how it does effect my workouts.

Good assement here of Permaswole with a pump shoulder/arm workout. Small hint of pump and a bit of skin hardning. I also had bloodwork done this morning so i had to be careful with how i trained and did not want to go crazy after bloodwork. So played it smart and still put in good work

3/24

Great workout today, much better when you do not give blood the morning of a workout. Still with underdosed ingredients at one scoop there was a better pump, and less lactic acid build up (Citrulline) During this workout. This mesocycle is great to help with some serious pump on the power/hyper split i am running

bumped to 1.5 scoops. Really like the addition of the extra half scoop. Flavor is stronger, but you get a bit more Agmatine, Citrulline and COP which is great for pumps and performance. Def noted it here.

Man 1.5 is a good dose, but i cant wait to rock 2 scoops again like last log. That showed me the best results and the best doses. Arm pump was off the charts today and the vascularity was really shining through even being over 10-15 pounds of stage weight as well

Much better pump and recovery at 2 scoops. more COP, good citrulline and agmatine. With a lot of quick shoulder/arm work i felt some tight skin and good skin hardening throughout this entire session. Cant wait to see what the rest of my workouts look like rocking 2 scoops!

Mesocycle over. Tomorrow is a rest day and check in with coach, so eager to see what my new mesocycle will look like or if we will run this for another 4 weeks. PUmps were just straight NASTY on this hypertrophy workout with a very short rest between each set and exercise. in and out in about 60 minutes with 6 minutes of cardio (HIIT) too which had my legs on fire.

Running this mesocycle again so going back to week one the volume was lower, but with rocking 2 scoops recovery, pump, and endurance are far better. With a higher ingredient dosing it makes a world of difference when you double up on this product.

Final Review

Since i have already addressed the formula & taste of the product lets talk about the workout reaction in 3 different doses (1 scoop , 1.5, and 2 scoops)

1 Scoop

At 1 scoop you are getting
2g Citrulline (which most need 6-8g to seek maximum benefits)
500mg agmatine (which is a good dose but most notice 1-1.5 to be very good and get the benefits)
1.5g BA which is good amount and can aid performance/endurance.
250mg COP which most need 2g from all studies (over a decade old) to reap the benefits
150mg Resveratrol is used to help with performance enhancement not only training, but also cardio as well.

While some items here may be under-dosed it was noted in my first 5 workouts using this product all in a fasted state upon waking. A small increase was noted on performance and endurance (BA), but besides that pump was not increased, tighter skin, or harder skin was not noted, and I did not seek much overall benefits in the product at a 1 scoop dose. With that said everyone reacts differently for some it may be good, for me it was nothing to thrive on, but I am just trying to be 100% honest with my review.

1.5 Scoops

At 1.5 scoops you are getting
3g Citrulline (which most need 6-8g to seek maximum benefits)
750mg agmatine (which is a good dose but most notice 1-1.5 to be very good and get the benefits)
2.25g BA which is good amount and can aid performance/endurance.
375mg COP which most need 2g from all studies (over a decade old) to reap the benefits
225mg Resveratrol is used to help with performance enhancement not only training, but also cardio as well.

I stated to see some pump shine now at 1.5 scoops upon waking and fasted. While it was not awesome, it was showing. Endurance and performance began to pick up and rest times were slowly starting to be cut back. Overall i felt this will be a very good dose for most individuals. It may not be what all need, but for me I started to see a lot more benefits, and a lot better recovery, endurance, and performance at this dose during my run (5 workouts with)
That took down 13 of the 34 Servings leaving 21 left and 10 workouts.

2 Scoops

At 2 scoops you are getting
4g Citrulline (which most need 6-8g to seek maximum benefits)
1000mg agmatine (which is a good dose but most notice 1-1.5 to be very good and get the benefits)
3g BA which is good amount and can aid performance/endurance.
500mg COP which most need 2g from all studies (over a decade old) to reap the benefits
300mg Resveratrol is used to help with performance enhancement not only training, but also cardio as well.

This is where the product shined the most. My pump was awesome, my workouts went to another level, and I was smashing PR's even 8-9 weeks into a cutting cycle. I have to say that with that amount of Citrulline, Agmatine, and COP (even still a bit under dosed) it really shined through. Not to mention how BA heavy that was to aid the endurance and performance for some grueling workouts and pushing myself to new limits. Even though if you double dose that is only 17 workouts per container. The flavoring is strong, the workouts were awesome, and I found this to be my sweet spot with 20oz of liquid.
