Batman Vs. Superman or Animal Pump vs. Shock Therapy...

MrDead

Well-known member
For 2 weeks, I will be wrestling with the thoughts of which is better Shock Therapy or Animal Pump...
Animal Pump:
A Fusion Of A CEE, Nitric Oxide, Energy And Antioxidants For Growth!
A Pre-Workout Creatine Matrix - Built on the proven foundation of creatine, Animal Pump is no passing fancy. It's a no bull, high octane performance supplement designed to help your customers blast through plateaus and preconceived limitations. In addition to a full daily dose of creatine in the form of an advanced matrix (including patented MCC, CEE and TCM), you also get (1) a fusion of a swelling NO Blast Complex; (2) a shocking Energy Rush Complex; (3) an immune-support antioxidant blend; and (4) potent cell volumizers, all wrapped up in a special nutrient transport complex. From top to bottom, Animal Pump is complete and comprehensive.

Shock Therapy:
If you are looking for a pre-workout shake that will help power you up for the gym and make you feel like hitting the plates, wait no longer. The nitric oxide (NO) activators, creatine and stimulants in this formula will energize you while helping to make you look more vascular and gain size. Shock Therapy can actually motivate you to get into the gym and hit the weights! Unlike many of the other pre-workout NO products on the market, we include an antioxidant complex that is essential when taking nitric oxide stimulating ingredients, due to their oxidative nature on human cells. Now you can have the "perpetual pump," the intense workout you crave, and keep your body safe from the free radicals that are produced as a side effect of the nitric oxide activation process. Why should you choose Universal Nutritio's Shock Therapy?

It Works:
If you want to get energized and motivated in the gym, Shock Therapy is for you. This formula will make for some very intense workouts that will help you put up more weight and will ultimately result in mass gains. Your body will feel pumped all day from the blood rushing to your muscle tissue delivering needed nutrients for real growth. We don't use any sugar so there is no worry about fat gains. We use the best ingredients, from creatine all the way to our antioxidant blend. You won't find another product like Shock Therapy; it is truly unique amongst pre-workout energizers and cell volumizers.

It Has a Healthier Formula:
Since Shock Therapy helps your body produce more nitric oxide, you need an anti-oxidant complex to scavenge the harmful free radicals that are released as a result of the nitric oxide process. Our competitors aren't keeping your health in mind; we are.

It Has A Better Formula:
Shock Therapy uses R-ALA to help shuttle the creatine and nitric oxide stimulating components into circulation, whereas the competition either does not use any form of alpha lipoic acid or uses the standard ALA, which has been shown to be less effective than R-ALA. Many individuals do not like to ingest aspartame and prefer sweeteners such as sucralose. Shock Therapy does not use any aspartame, while some of the other popular products do.

So... Just like Batman vs. Superman... The debate begins...
 
i would say Pump is Batman its in a pak that could be kept in the utility belt..... :D
 
Nope... There was the issue where Hulk and Thor went at it... And Hulk actually broke his fingers tyin' to lift Goldy Locks' hammer... So that's a no contest... *L*:head:

As I understand it, he actually picked it up and even used it for a bit.

Definitely felt the pump on that session!!! I was shocked as heck on the PR, since I didn't notice that I had the pin on the wrong weight... Gotta love surprises like that...

I've used Pump quite a bit, in the past, but I always love the pump and energy I get from it... That, and I don't get the creatine bloat from it... But, last night's pump was incredible... My vascularity was even heightened... Arms and shoulders looked like a road map...

No "creatine bloat"--good.
 
Rest...

Yesterday was an active rest day... Aside from the usual 2 sessions of Puppy Power Walking, I wound up re-arranging the wood pile, and splitting a few more logs... Winter is getting closer and closer, and I want to be ready... Plus I kind of like being outdoors, swinging an axe... *L*
Tonight, though, is legs!!! I KNOW I'm going to get a heck of a pump!!!:head:

Thoughts and reactions...

I'm a bit torn... I like the convenience of Pump... Just grab and go... Great focus, and intensity were the themes of my workouts on it...
Shock Therapy gave me a greater energy burst, and I like the taste... Both assisted me in getting killer pumps... But, I generally workout right after work, and need that boost...
And, the winner is.............
Shock Therapy...
