Here it is guys. Weve been beta testing it now for a couple of weeks and very impressed with the addition, flavor and how well it now mixes ;)

L-Leucine - 3.25g
Creatinol-O-Phosphate - 1g
LCLT - 1g
Agmatine Sulfate - 250mg
 
If used in excessive amounts which is why we recommend up to 2 servings per day at 1g of COP per serving. The contest is over but its there. Was posted on Wed.
 
That is a nice change!

Thanks to you both! We liked the cardioprotective effects/data, and also felt it would be a suitable substitute for the beta-alanine in terms of preventing lactic acidosis. We think Protocol fans are going to dig it. :D

COP will only upset the stomach/GI tract if taken in excessive amounts, so please, one scoop at a time for a while. I'm up to 3g/day of COP now and had to endure an uncomfortable couple of days (just a bloat and some gas, little sour stomach at times) when I increased from 2 to 3 while I adjusted to the increase. All was right in short time, though.
 
I havn't tried 3g yet, but was using 2g a day and it was very effective, also never had any GI issues with COP.

To be honest, I'm not noticing any difference between 2 and 3g... it's been about 10 days. I'm about to bump to 5g and ultimately to 6g, where I'll stay just to gauge effects.

Other than the bio-availability issue, is there any benefit to those higher doses?

Yes! This just became a preworkout product IMO :D

You know what? I want to personally thank you... Between this statement, and your posts in the SSv2 thread, you're "getting it", what we're trying to accomplish here with these reformulations.

When reviewing the formula, it makes sense... LCLT, agmatine, COP... These are all ingredients that enhance performance during training; so why not take it before? And while the leucine plays an important role as well in a PWO capacity, recovery doesn't always have to begin after training. So, we're going to suggest that a scoop be taken before and a scoop be taken after or later/earlier in the day, depending on the situation.

Combine this with some caffeine and all's right with the world. :D

I'll let you know. :D This is really just a personal experiment to see what the upper limits might offer... with an estimated 60% bioavailability, though, I'm expecting great things or no things.

That's pretty stand up...of all the posters that deserve a thank you, it is definitely Coop.

Haha. Hopefully the experiment isn't spent on the throne. I haven't tried COP yet due to the potential gastro problems. However, I'll have to give the protocol a shot.

Ha! Yeah, right? :D

I expect when I make the jump that there'll be another short period of discomfort, but it always passes within a day or two... Same would go for Protocol in users that have sensitive stomachs; there may be some gas/bloat/diarrhea for a day or two, but it will subside, and then it's smooth sailing.

But 2g/day shouldn't pose an issue for almost all users, especially if it's split up... I wouldn't recommend using 2 servings at once with this.

I'll probably take a serving before I use it pre-workout. I'm afraid I will be in the middle of a squat and...

With the inclusion of COP, Protocol now becomes a nice pre-workout. If I were to do an additional dose later in the day, what is the best time to do so?

Protocol always had that pre-WO dosing option there. With that LCLT and agmatine, it almost screams pre-WO.

I'd take the other serving opposite of the pre-WO serving; so, if I trained in the morning, I'd take it maybe before dinner. And vice-versa, if I trained in the afternoon, I'd have a serving upon waking.

It is actually how I dosed the OG. I would take a serving before work, and then a serving pre-workout. I felt it worked a bit better for me that way.

Looks like I'll stick to the same regimen with the new version.
 
Like the overall look of the formula. Great pre-workout product IMO and I'll be sure to pick some up to try. :)

I would stock up like it's for a zombie invasion

When you taste the new flavor, you might stock up on that one as well ;)
 
I want to try this! Logged the V2 Cherry and since I'm cutting it would be nice to try 1 scoop pre-workout and and one pre-cardio/after my weight session.
 
The new flavor is light and refreshing. It is not an over powering taste which I like because i will be drinking it during work outs.

Agreed, I love the lighter, crispier flavor of the new formula. It really is "desert punch," all flavors are pronounced and tasty!
 
Couple more weeks solid. Ssv2 label design is what we were waiting for. Protocol labels design will be completed this week and go into production. Product will be completed days after that.

any word on when this will be out?
Click to expand...

We're about 2 weeks away from release.

We're working with a new (to us), very professional design firm on these and want them to be perfect... A design that really speaks to our new direction. We feel these were worth the extra week or two delay.
 
Still running through my stash of the OG so I am good for another 2 weeks! Props on pushing yourselves in a new direction. Not an easy thing in todays market.
 
cool-like the looks of new formula with COP. im working on two bottles of body octane atm and now with the beta alanine replaced in protocol, this shd be a great stack with bo havin citrulline and ba. i'll prob run this stack as soon as i can order

Any update on the release date?

Labels are being proofed today; if the boss man is happy, it'll be a week to print the labels, and less than a week to apply them... So we should have product in hand in 2 weeks, and retailers should have it shortly thereafter.
 
Must have this now!!
