We ended up OOS on Cotton Candy, and Mango samples weren't produced (I was unaware, that one is on me)
But to get samples out sooner rather than weeks late, we shipped out RL to you all for now, full tub winners can of course choose still

RL was my first tub that arrived. I was quite happy being it's still my go to in terms of alphamine flavoring and it was again spot on. Still waiting on my CC to arrive this week. Never was huge on CC but it's always nice to switch it up for my taste buds.

I got shipping confirmation yesterday I think; after I got confirmation of my insider purchase shipping lol.
Wish I would have known it hadn't sent; I would have suggested tossing them in the same box (or not sending; though I am excited to try some samples of new Alphamine flavoring).

No samples in the mail yet, but my local USPS branch tends to be notoriously slow with sorting/delivering packages when they receive them, so I'm hoping to see them delivered tomorrow or Saturday.

I did try it today, but used too much water. I'm going to try it again tomorrow.
You know me, I want to use something more than once before giving my thoughts on it.

I'm guessing Sunrise Prolific tastes the same as Sunrise Alphamine? If so, I'll have to give it a shot next, as Sunrise is my favorite Alphamine flavor. I really like Mango though. Had a great workout on it yesterday. That was my second workout using Prolific (first was with my samples of cotton candy). Great smooth energy and focus. Like many others, I have a very stressful job that follows me home. Clients contact me at all hours and I'm always thinking about upcoming motions, trials, etc. Sometimes it's hard for me to disconnect enough to actually get in a very good workout. Most of the high stim pres that I've used in the past get me all jacked up, but then my mind goes back to work and I get riled up over that instead of my workout! Prolific is smooth. It actually helped me zone in solely on my workout. It's kind of like a relaxed, zoned-in energy. I know it sounds weird, but it's working for me so far!

Of course. Let us know.
Definitely bro. Many will be pissed they missed that insider deal. Thanks for the continued support.
Once again jealous you tried mango before I did! Thanks for the feedback bro.

I took both packets of prolific (raspberry lemonade) before my leg session tonight.
Flavor is pretty good. Basically the same as PES high volume. Honestly think it's an odd flavor of raspberry lemonade...
Anyhow, focus was good. Not and over stimmed feeling but a smooth steady bout of energy. Pump was GOOD in my quads and hams. My 10x10 on leg press had my tear drops feeling like they were going to cramp! Glute pump so big it was hard pulling my jeans on
Would recommend for sure.
Nice job PES and thanks Driven2lift for the samples

Great deal tyga. Thanks for the feedback. Sounds on par with all the testers thus far. I've been sipping my RL prolific pre-gym everyday and can say it is right there with my love of the alphamine flavoring.I took both packets of prolific (raspberry lemonade) before my leg session tonight.

And nothing showed up 
instead of my samples, all I got was 3/4" of ice on everything and a closed gym. Bastards.

OK, just got done with my second workout with Prolific. I'm gonna go ahead and put up some initial thoughts, these may or may not change with time.
I have not yet used the samples you guys sent out, and will try that flavor tomorrow. I wanted to try the Mango first, so I have used that two times. 1st on Thursday for a leg day and 2nd was today for a pull day. My training is a lot different than what I have been doing for the last few years, so it might be a little easier to compare for other lifts (not powerlifting specific at this time).
Important Note: I have not used a stim preworkout in quite some time. I have recently been using either maxreps or nothing, usually nothing.
Thus far, I have only used 1 scoop each time. That is likely what I will stick with. I have mixed it with a tall glass of water, and today with a small glass of water. I don't do the measuring thing.
Taste: Good flavor. Watered down with the tall glass, but the shorter glass was much better. Not too strong. Had a bit of a weird background flavor for a moment today, but it did not linger like some products do. I would not drink it instead of koolaid, but it is drinkable. Certainly no gagging like with some powdered supplements. Mango also passes the wife test, which is an accomplishment. She says it is a little on the sweet side.
Mixability: I do the glass and spoon method (chopstick, actually). No complaints. Does not mix perfectly, and there is a little graininess left at the bottom of the glass. No clumping or anything like that. Nothing noticeable while drinking.
Focus: Noticeable increase. Was especially apparent today because I wasn't really feeling like working out. Had been laying around after running errands and only got up to train because I felt like a huge bum. 10 or so minutes after taking the scoop I was starting to feel it. Was a good session overall.
Pump: Today's session was pretty good for the pump. Really felt the lats working with pullups/downs. Forearms were getting a pretty good pump during the rows. Haven't used a preworkout in a while, so it's hard to compare it to anything. Definitely not incredible here, but good.
Endurance: Noticeable increase. I have been trying to work more volume into my sessions to build up some muscle and my work capacity. I don't train as frequently, so I'm really trying to fit more work into the days I train. Did more today, and Thursday, than I had in the past few weeks before.
That's all I can really think of at the moment. Happy with the product, and purchase, so far. It did send me running to the restroom on Thursday, but most products have that effect on me. I will likely begin using one scoop of this and 1 scoop of the maxreps before upper body sessions.

Prolific Review:

Flavor: raspberry lemonade
This is almost exactly the same as the other PES products with this flavor. Personally not my favorite, but good for what it is supposed to be. There's is a decent mix of sweet and tart but neither overpowers you. The one thing I dislike about the flavor is the awkward dry mouth/semi pucker/fuzzy teeth feel you get after each sip.
Taste/mix: I mixed this in the suggested 4oz to start but as you can see it was pretty "thick" (not truly thick but def "strong"). Took one sip just to try and definitely too strong for my liking. Invalid Link Removed
All I did was simply swirl the shaker around as I added water and had zero issues mixing. This was a really fine powder so I expected. Itching less. Invalid Link Removed
I went on and ended up at about 10oz and this was perfect for me. Still plenty of flavor, not watered down, but not crazy strong either. That would be my recommendation for others (8-10oz). Invalid Link Removed
Effects: (for reference) I have been using focus xt caffeine free + 1sc c4 the last two weeks so stim and focus level should be almost directly comparable.
About 10 minutes after dosing I began to feel the first effects. A noticeable mood boost had me singing along to songs on my drive to the gym (kind of just happened without me realizing ha). Energy was extremely subtle, almost to the point where you truly don't "fee" anything. The real effect that I noticed was the general mood boost and "ready" feeling. It was heavy leg day for me so it was squat focused. I was very zoned in during my squat sets (8 total) and had to keep myself resting long enough as I was constantly "ready" to go back under the bar. This isn't uncommon for me, but I definitely noticed that if I zoned in on someone or something I really focused on it and lost track of how long I might stare ha. Sets went as prescribed and while I wouldn't say weights felt light or anything dramatic was noticed, everything went well and smooth. Overall just a good start.
This workout was not focused on pumps as most sets were lower rep but I always throw and fst style pump set at the end for a burnout. I did not notice anything out of the ordinary (and definitely less than c4 pumps) even with a very high carb day yesterday.
My total workout lasted 75minutes (total of 90 min from dose til finish) and this was the one major downfall I saw: by about the 60min mark of my workout, I really get like I was wearing down. Energy, mood, focus, motivation all seemed to just be leaking out and I was really ready to be done. Finished my last few sets and hit the sauna and shower. When walking out of the gym I felt pretty tired and couldn't wait to get home to relax (lay on the couch ha) and watch football... really felt like this wore out too fast.
Overall thoughts:
Flavor- on point/as expected.
Mix- perfect. Only needed to swirl in a cup
Energy- very mild, more of a mood and drive boost than actual stimulation. Wore off too soon (75min after dosing)
Pumps- nothing special. Average to low at best
For me, I was extremely impressed at the mood and focus aspects early on in my workout. I really enjoyed how it made me feel "good". That said, the energy and boost wearing off before my workout (which was not especially long) finished was a huge detractor for me. Pumps really were nothing special but I recognize that isn't the focal point of this product. I would rate this pretty highly if it were being used as a mood boost or for some quick energy (maybe a presentation or morning boost) as that's where this formula shined for me. For a pre workout, the longevity really hampered it. A decent thought might be dosing one scoop pre and a second intra if doing a longer workout. This could be amazing at that dosing.
Overall I would rate it 6/10. It's a great mood and mind boost with mild but reasonable energy. Pumps weren't there at one scoop (two would help but that hurts value and adds a lot of caffeine too then). The biggest factor in rating this just average was the fact that the effects didn't last. This is a huge miss in my book as the intent would be to power you through an entire workout (and maybe even slightly more).
While I really like some aspects, I can't say this would be something I would use often or would recommend for workouts. It has its perks and what it does well it does immaculately, but it just doesn't match up with the top tier pres on the market today. For the price (even insider pricing) and effects, I feel like there are better options.
Thanks to the guys at PES for the chance to give this a trial and see what all those years of formulation were for

Captain detail there, thanks brother!
I think 2 scoops is where pumps will shine most (of course) but I'm glad to see some reviews coming in at 1 scoop, which is how most stim sensitive users will best use Prolific

Definitely true. I didn't expect pumps at one so didn't detract that from the score. Plus it's easy to stack or add something like agamatine as well and not have to 300+ your caff

I'll definitely be going 2 scoops whenever mine shows up. I don't see any scenario where I could get away using it at 1, personally.
booneman77

Yeah two scoops is def the way to go if you have any amount of stim tolerance or want the pumps.
If I weren't in low/non stim stretch right now I would've done two for sure. Just so happened to fall during my break and early taper.
