Prepare your nostrils... Even before you tear off the heavy stock seal under the cap, the smell fills up the room.

Trying to resist the urge to open. Everyone says it tastes and smells amazing, but I don't train today.
Never used COP before..is it supposed to be taken everyday? If so maybe I'll treat myself to some right now.

Day 3 of using this:
First thoughts was that this smelled and tasted like Bubble Gum. It was also flaky, even after shaking well. But this was my first time trying it. I played with dosage the next day and decided I used too much on Day 1. With less, I noticed better taste and less flakes after shaking.
I am a big fan of the inclusion of COP. Makes a huge difference between sets (less rest in between).
I have been drinking this intra and post workout. 1.5 scoops in ice cold 16oz water.
I only take this on workout days to get more out of a tub.
The more I get into the tub, I'll be able to post better observations. But so far, I really do enjoy this product.

You don't necessarily have to take it every day, but I've noticed better results when doing so v. not doing so. If nothing else, 2 servings on training days and only 1 on off-days would be absolutely fine.
Solubility is much improved, but there is still some flaking... Just mix it, and let it sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes and all is right with the world.
If you want to crack it open now, mix 2 scoops with about 8oz. water and a few ice cubes and blend into a slushy-like consistency. Bliss.

Decided to take some prior to my cardio/active recovery today. I noticed the leucine bits so I tossed some in a shaker with ice and left in the fridge for 10-15 minutes prior to drinking.
Interesting flavor. Very refreshing and quite different from anything I have tried before. Love that it is unique because the same old flavors can tend to get annoying. Will play around with water levels as well to see how I like it best.
Thanks for all the help and I will probably do 2 servings pre-workout and 1 serving pre-cardio on the off days that I do some. :thumbsup:

If you do the 2 servings at once, just be cognizant of any GI distress as higher amounts of COP can cause some issues depending on the individual. I actually had to work my way up to 2g/once during the beta phase.
Enjoy, dude! It's so good when it's ice cold.

As Smitty said work your way up. I had to adjust to COP at first. Mind you creative mono rips my stomach apart.. So do most GDAs. I can eat almost anything but some supps...
Work outs are getting intense. I may bring my bottle with me, sip serving 1 on the way and at the start, then have the second at the gym when that's gone... I miss the flavor when it's finished

I'll probably post a full review in its own thread after some more time with using Protocol but figured this is a good place to throw random thoughts after some quick use.
Decided to take 1 serving Protocol pre-workout mixed with 1 serving Compete (tangerine) in 14 oz water today. Tossed em in a shaker, then stored in a fridge for 30 minutes. Came out mixed nearly perfect (only a little bit of Leucine floating around) and tasted amazing! Will try 1.5 servings tomorrow and then 2 servings next week alone if all goes well.
Probably too early for results, but prowler sprints did seem a tad easier today than last workout.

No issues with SSV2? I have a serious issue with it. It's too good and I need more of it.

I'd love that!
Have enjoyed SS so far. Nothing mind blowing, but I haven't used anything like this (other than R-ALA/Na-RALA) in awhile and enjoy the effects. Granted I am also taking ArA which always helps with CHO intake IME but still helpful so far.
BTW thought this was the Protocol thread???
On a Protocol related note I took 1.5 servings today. No GI discomfort and I love the taste when real cold with some ice crushed up with it.

Some Ideas. I was just informed that i have quite a bit of unlabeled Slin Sane bottles on the way that obviously i can't put on the market. Perhaps a genomyx site sale buy 1 get 1 free.
Speaking of Protocol I mix my workouts up quiet a bit between regular weight lifting, cross fit and MMA. For me I’m not concerned with being big. At this point in my life between meetings, traveling and family I train because I love it. With that being said I've had an opportunity to test personally during different activities. What I have noticed is that Protocol version 2 increases performance without a doubt. During weight training yesterday I took 2 servings (4 scoops). No stomach issues to report and my workout was incredible. Muscle pumps were awesome obviously going from 250-500mg of Agmatine. Performance was great with very little fatigue. Now that is what Protocol was designed for. Pumps are great but increased performance and recovery is even better.

I'd be down for that sale!
I feel like the COP has helped endurance a little bit already so I am interested to see how extended use plays out.

I agree, I've been using COP lately and it's been going very well, looking forward to trying the new protocol I would think Agmatine mixed with cop would be a killer combo.

Hi dad...oh yeah...SURPRISE! Now buy me SSV2 and Protocol plz
I think you misunderstood me Celorza. When I sent you that CP comment "Who's you daddy?" I was not implying that I was your actual father.
Celorza

But you sell bodily fluids...how are you not sure I am not the product of your big-wallet-swimmers? Besides, it is perfectly natural to go to whatever lengths are needed to get SSV2, the new Protocol and Decimate
! So I approve of your idea of spreading little Dewey's around. Just consider the possibility one day someone can knock at your door and say: "Daddy I want my share of Decimate" haha.

Bolt, why are you asking about the BOGO sale? I thought you, me and Celorza were going in on on the 5 gallon bucket (aka Costco-size)...

Hopefully we don't actually have to go to Costco to get our SSV2 buckets. If we do, we better take two each before we make the rounds for all free samples they are always giving out!

I have been known for tackling people in real life. I would not hesitate to do so again against the Average Joe taking a Bucket of my beloved SSv2 without knowing what it is.
