Let me start by telling you all what I look for in a preworkout.
Mainly I am looking for a surge of energy.
Not cracked out energy. But I need that feeling to come over me that says "I need to crush something!" I guess you could say a mix between smooth energy and a euphoric feeling.
Next I am looking for vascularity. When I see my veins bulging out of my arms I know something is happening.
Lastly I am looking for a muscle pump. Everyone enjoys the feeling. I know I do. It's not MANDATORY for me but it is fun, and I know that pumped muscles are a great environment for muscle growth.
So like I do with any preworkout, I test a serving on chest and triceps day, and a serving on back and biceps day.
Mixed great in 8 oz of water with no residue and did not taste bad, which if this is the final formula with natural flavoring, that is awesome!
About 20 minutes after consumption I observed a mild caffeine buzz and decided to make my short drive to the gym.
Ten minutes later I did feel a bit euphoric. Nothing crazy.
The energy was enough to get me through an hour at the gym both days without crashing, but it was not overkill.
I actually noticed about an hour and even two hours after the gym my hands were shaky while doing normal tasks. I'm assuming one of the other stimulants had something to do with this.
It wasn't jittery, I just could tell it was still there. I would need to try this out more often to come to a conclusion on that.
Both samples had a great effect on vascularity for me. When I got to the gym and took my jacket off, the veins in my forearms were very pronounced and my brachial veins were also very noticeable.
With just a couple warm-up sets my veins became even more pronounced. More so on back and bicep day than chest and triceps.
The veins in my front delts became more visible throughout my workouts and I even noticed some veins in my lower abs which is rare for me.
Now onto the pump!
I started out with a warm-up set of seated cable rows on back day and my biceps were already feeling a nice pump. By the end of my workout the pump was so strong it was actually a bit painful.
On chest day the pump wasn't as strong feeling but my triceps and chest were noticeably swollen half way through. I couldn't stop flexing!
Thanks a bunch for the samples, and I look forward to getting to rip through an entire tub to experiment more.
And Natty if you feel like sending me anything else down the road tell the shipping guy that MI is Michigan and not Minnesota lol!
