Purus Labs Condense

ConDense is the first and only preworkout to achieve exercise capacity expansion (endurance), rather than merely acute performance, as it relates to physiological enhancement. Using novel and proprietary vasodilatory nutrient-technology, your blood vessels will widen causing a cascade of anabolic and performance-sustaining effects through enhanced oxygen and nutrient delivery to the myocapillaries.



Taste

Natural Florida Orange - From first sip the orange shines very strong. The dense orange flavor reminds you of a squeezed orange with a citrus aftertaste. The long lasting flavoring does a great job from first sip to last gulp when drinking condense. Purus Labs did a great job with this flavor, just like when I had the Green Apple in the past. If you do not like a strong tasting product add extra water to help dilute the beverage.

Mixability

Usually I mix 1 scoop of a pre-workout with 8-10oz of water. The flavoring was a bit strong for my liking, so I use around 12-16oz to find my sweet spot. There was no clumps left in the shaker after shaking for 15-20 seconds. Mixes very fine, and the powder is incredibly light.

Formula



Pros:
- Standard dose of Beta-Alanine (2g) to help with endurnace and performance (will need to add another 1.6-2g to reach maximum amonut in a seperate serving)
- Perfect dose of Betaine (2.5g) to help with IFG1 levels, performance, and strength gains/LBM Gains
- 200mg Caffeine. A sweet spot for many, not too high, not too little, some people could double scoop this if they have a high tolerance.
- Electrolytes to aid performance/endurnace.

Cons:
- Very simple pre-workout, lots of room to add bulk powders
- Could use more pump agents (Agmatine/Glycerol)
- Could use additional endurnace features (Citrulline)
- Could use additoinal Nootropics (Huperzine A, Choline, Alcar)

Expectations
- Strong Energy
- Long Lasting Focus
- Great Pumps

Cost
40 servings cost's around 30$, $0.70 a serving. It's a nice price I think if you only need ONE scoop per; If using twoit goes 20 servings, $1.35 per (2 scoops).

Decent energy, and a decent pump. This is the last week of my mesocycle , my main goal this week is progressive overload and pushing some PR's. we may get some training clips pushing some PR's

I train in the mornings with a Purus Labs Athlete "brandy Artz" She was trying to get me some of the sangria flavor in exchange for some chocolate covered pretzels..

What women do.. to trade supps haha

Good breakdown per usual. More pumps is where NOXYGEN comes into the mix.
You could argue the whole line stacks well depending on your goals

Plenty of energy to power through the workout. I do not need a lot of stims to really get myself going and focus on the task at hand. Pumps were pretty decent as I started to move towards the end on the superset to hit my lats and rear delts.

Quick and pumpful shoulder and arm workout. Right to the point and a 45 minute tri-set/superset workout. I have found arms to work well for me by blasting them fast and getting a lot of blood into the muscles. Controlling the negative is still key. Condense led some extra energy for this workout

1 Scoop is fine for me, 1.5 i will stick to heavy leg days. When I need to extra boost I will take it. Leg day will usually put me out cold. I have a new mesocycle coming up. Bringing deadlifts back into the mix, so you will see me push the condense a bit on those workouts. Really looking to how much I can pull after taking a few months off DL's to build them up.

Still sticking to around 1-1.5 scoops. I have found that 12-18oz of water is the sweet spot for myself with the powder/water ratio. This may be high for most, but i prefer a diluted beverage. I enjoy sipping on it a bit longer than most. The orange is not prominent, but its refreshing in the aftertaste.

The stims continue to give me what i need right when waking up to power through the workout. Pumps are much more noticed if i train in the afternoon or late night with some extra food in me

I do the same with the water. I actually use about 20 oz's on the mornings I don't workout and just sip on it early morning. Orange Condense has pretty much all but taken coffee for me.

Cons:
- Very simple pre-workout, lots of room to add bulk powders
Maybe it's just a matter of preference but wouldn't this be a good thing? Seems like it would make for a more versatile product. Giving you options on if/what you want to add depending on the workout.
I mean from an all in one stand point I'd have to agree. But flexibility can be nice luxury to have.

Agree Flexibility is great. But some people like to buy all-in-one products with a bit more (like a Conqu3r Unleashed)
some like a basic cost effective pre-workout and add what they like to customize what works best for them
personal preference.

I just pull with wrestling shoes.

Regarding the condense, I went through a tub of Apple (Tastes like a jolly rancher) and enjoyed it. Especially for higher rep sets with less fatigue.

Bet BFR arm day would yield some serious fullness

^^^ Could not agree more about the Apple. They did a great job! Appletini Alphamine is also very good for apple based products.

Rolling along back to 1 scoop now. Going to try some of the Lemonade from a fellow Purus Labs Athlete in my gym in a few days once I get back into town. Leaving for the weekend and will be back on Monday.

Pumps and Energy are still good and have no complains with 1 scoop of the condense. I will still keep it at 1.5 scoops on leg days for the extra punch. I may give 2 scoops a whirl on my last few scoops just to see how potent it is

So condense doesn't make the top 5. I only ask because condense is geared towards pump and vasodilation.

Or are you reserving your thoughts until you finish the tub?

Betaine doesn't give me a lot of pump neither does beta alanine

Nitrosigine is ok for pumps. this product is pretty basic but allows for multiple inclusions of raw powders to help it for your goal and what you want out of it

If I stacked noxygen it could be totally different for pumps. But as a stand alone it's not a top 5 to me. Maybe someone else it may be

My bad, I just re looked at the label. I saw nitrates and assumed pumps.

Wrapping this log up soon. Another 1 scoop down the hatch for today, will be taking a short stim break after this run on condense. Since I normally do not intake a lot of pre-workouts or caffeine this was a great get me up to start a dieting phase after adding 30+ pounds in my reverse off my last cut. Really got the job done, and provided ample energy.

Purus Labs Condense Final Review

Flavoring + Cost + Mixability was discussed and addressed in the opening review.

1 Scoop

On 1 Scoop this was my sweet spot. I am not someone who needs a lot of stimulants to get going. 200mg of caffeine is really a good sweet spot for myself. Not too much energy, but not an overbearing amount to stim me out. The reason I ran most of this log at 1 scoop is because it was all I needed. For the majority of the training I do in a fasted state. Right upon waking I took condense and would hit the gym. Energy was present and got me going especially for 5 AM workouts. On days I would train in the PM I would avoid if this was close to bedtime, if this was in the afternoon the effects were slightly weaker due to the presence of food and a pre-workout meal several hours before hand.

1.5 Scoop

On 1.5 Scoops this was saved for leg day. Bumping up the caffeine, betaine, and beta-alanine dose. I try to keep stims on the low end as getting up to 300-400mg may overpower me. This is where I can receive jitters and have in the past. The higher dose of betaine and beta-alanine will aid recovery and endurance training the largest bodypart (legs) in my case which are the hardest bodypart to train. I always try and push my limits and hit some PR's throughout this log doing so. 1.5 Scoops fasted was instant energy and really packed a strong punch. In the afternoon for PM Training sessions I found this to be very smooth and provide a long lasting presence upward to 2-3 hours in length. Overall both scenarios were nice, but strong for myself.

Overall

Overall this is a good pre-workout that is very flexible. With a small profile it allows multiple opportunities to stack other additional bulk powders to customize to your liking. Heavy in betaine, beta-alanine, and with caffeine upward to 400mg in 2 scoops you already get a solid punch of energy and caffeine. Combine in extra nootropics for a hefty Long lasting energy. Consider tossing in agmatine, citrulline, glycerol and you could make this a very strong pump supplement as well. Purus Labs is basic and to the point, sometimes you don't need a huge complex profile to make a good product.
