Nickodemus wakes up to Condense Florida Orange by Purus Labs

[nickodemus]

I would like to thank Purus Labs and Grambo for giving me a chance to try out their preworkout.

The taste is amazing, reminds me of Tang. It instantly mixes in water, and is ready to drink after a quick stir.
The energy is smooth and not leaving you cracked out. I have used this for about a week now, and I haven't
really noticed an increase in a pump, but im going to give it a better run this week to make a final decision.

I like to do early morning workouts. So I am up at 3:45 am, and get to the gym around 5. I started the test on this product with half a scoop, as I am really stim sensitive. With half a scoop I had plenty of energy to get started and keep moving in the gym. I workout 5 days a week, Monday through Friday. I don't have any set program, I just have my own set exercises I feel that work for me. I am hoping this helps me keep my drive and raise my lifts.

Nice! I've said from the beginning it reminded me of tang also. Just less bitter. Glad you're likening it!

 

[Grambo]

Tang is a good comparison. This is the best early morning preworkout taste wise in my opinion.

4:30am 3/4 scoop Condense.


Went to the gym yesterday, but was only able to be there for 15mins.

Leg extensions 80x12x3

Leg curls 60x12x3

Leg press machine 150x12x3 + Calf extensions 150x120x3

I am not sure if something was going around, but my stomach was turning, and had to abandon ship and head home. Felt sick most the day.

Rest to get better mate

Rest to get better mate

Normally I would follow that rule, but had the urge and just got myself in another workout.

 

[nickodemus]

1:30pm 3/4 scoop Condense.

Was feeling better today, so I figured I would hit a quick shoulder workout.

Lateral raise 20x12x5

Front raise 20x12x5

Shrug shoulder width grip 185x12x4

Shrug close grip 185x12x4

Bent over lateral raise 15x12x4

Behind the back shrug 185x12x3

Worked out in the garage today with my equipment. It is currently 16 degrees outside, and 3 with the windchill. The garage isn't insulated, so my digits were pretty damn cold. But I got it in, now heading to the hot tub after post workout protein shake. Have a good weekend everyone.

I know the stomach flu was hitting hard around my area over the last two weeks. Glad to see it didn't stick around long!

Thursday

So after battling some knee soreness for the past few weeks, I was finally able to get in some leg work.

4:30am 3/4 scoop Condense.

Leg extensions 80x12x3

Leg curls 80x12x3

Leg press machine 150x12x3 + Calf extensions 150x12x3

Barbell squats 185x12x4

Seated calf raise 115x12x3

I really am enjoying the taste and energy I am getting from Condense. I have to be cautious with squats this early in the morning, whether its the motion of it on my stomach, or just the overall body/muscle strain, but it can make me nauseous. I like doing stiff leg deadlifts for my hams, but after two sets I would have to lay down, or get sick. So I tend to exclude those, and the gym is way to packed after work to get in a quality workout.

Friday

Had the day off work, so decided to do a afternoon workout at home.

2:15pm 1 scoop Condense

Flat bench barbell 95x12, 135x12, 185x12x3, 205x8x2

Incline bench barbell 135x12x3
Took it a little easy on this, since my shoulder has been sore for the past few weeks, and the incline seems to put more pressure on it.

Flat bench db flye 50x12x3
At this house, the 50's are the highest db I have, so still got a good stretch with it.

Leg raise and crunches 15x3

Plenty of energy to roll through this one.

Final Review:

I really enjoyed my run on this. It is dosed low on caffeine, which I prefer in a pre. If someone wants to feel cracked out, up the dose, or add a caffeine pill with it. I had long lasting stamina on this. I didn't want to leave the gym, and keep pushing on.

Mixability 10/10 Pour and stir, no floaters or sand on the bottom of the glass.

Flavor 10/10 If you like Tang, you will enjoy this.

Energy 10/10 Low dosed caffeine fit me perfectly.

Pump 5/10 I just didn't get the pumps while taking this.

Overall 7/10 The energy was great, just didn't live up to the pumps I expected.

I don't give 10's just to give 10's. I feel if the product did what I expected, and wanted from it, then why not give it what it

deserves. Thanks again to Grambo for giving me the chance to try this.

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the review and log!
