I'm the same way. The energy from Energized Aminos is a very productive type energy vs just an energy drink keeping me awake type energy.

Plan to stack this next month with focus XT & super swole
Click to expand...

That would be nice stack .. I’ve been doing focus/ amino and love it .. and on shoulders/chest day I’m throwing in super swole and it’s awesome.
 
Awesome review. Thank you for taking the time to provide so much detail. I'm really glad that you are enjoying the product.
 
Awesome to the point review .. im always looking ways to decrease my caff intake as well .. and this has def helped me out in that aspect where the energy lasts longer and also getting the quality amino benefits on top of it
 
Thanks for such a comprehensive review (again)! Your thoughts and experiences are nearly identical to how I've been feeling as well. No "punch in the face", but very solid, controlled, and focused energy... and no crash at all as you mentioned.

Well my new tub showed up today with my CF Focus XT so I know what today's pre-workout combo will be. (y)

That should make for an awesome combination.
 
Ha nice .. I haven’t mixed in fruit punch with energized amino’s .. nifty idea .. best nootropic .. best pre workout on tap and sprinkle some amino’s .. Charlie sheen #winning

1 scoop Energized Aminos + .5 scoop Caf Free Focus XT mixed was awesome. Mixed Super Swole in another cup just because the Grape Blue Razz was on tap today and didn't want to combine all those flavors.

I am dragging this week and thought I'd need more caffeine, but told myself to trust in the Energized Aminos hahaha

At this dosing I was super zoned in, not super full of energy, but enough. I was so focused I was staring so hard at the pace on the rower today I thought it might collapse in on itself, I forgot all outside distractions. :LOL:

Awesome feedback.

That's my problem working out - I need more of a zoned in energy to make my mind quit racing and forget about the stresses of day/week/life instead of a running around the gym jacked up energy.

So just popping back in to say I've bought several tubs of this lately and still love it.

As far as "tolerance" I still get a ton of benefit from a single scoop. Yesterday 1 scoop + half a scoop Focus XT Caffeine Free had me so focused I reorganized the whole garage while lifting...couldn't stop moving or doing something for like 2 hours hahaha

I feel you on this haha... my biggest issue when I lift at home vs the gym is that I either don't rest hardly at all between sets because i have so much other open stuff around me that I can "play" with (other lifts, dips, pullups etc) or I start doing other little things (yesterday was installing new home security sensors ha) between and poof its 5min later haha

Glad to hear that you are still enjoying it & thank you for sharing.

That's some awesome multi-tasking haha.

Some jerk blocks, bunch of hi-temp bumpers, a ton of rubber mats, then an assortment of bands/clips/etc.

haha that's way cooler than my additions: a tricep rope and a V row/pushdown combo bar.

My most significant change since getting into my own gym: no shirt workouts... to "make sure my form is correct and the appropriate muscles are contracting optimally" hahaha... aka vanity+narcissism

Where are you typically ordering from? I built my home gym a little over a year ago with the focus being on a nice power rack, but looking to add some accessories now.

Also, does anyone have recommendations on adjustable dumbbells? I have a decent set of dumbbells that use spinlocks, but when doing dropsets, I’m spending too much time on adjusting. Anyone use the dial ones? Bowflex has the ones that go up to like 90 I think. No idea on how well those hold up.
 
You just have to always be on the look out, you never know when a good deal might be just around the corner.

Nice! I have a lot of metal plates so I go through the rubber mates pretty quick. I need to invest in the higher grade mating like a the gyms.

That mating is cheap, but very heavy so shipping is high, I lucked out a company near me manufactures it, so I was able to go pick it up.

I’ve been doing half a scoop of energized aminos and half a scoop (sometimes more like 3/4) of focus xt and that combo is amazing. Just right on the energy, nice and smooth, and still stellar focus. Might be my new favorite pre combo
Click to expand...

Definitely think this would be a nice combo and had not thought about it until this thread. Something I need to try out. Anyone have some more thoughts on the flavors? Any consensus favorite? :)
 
I’ve been mixing collagen protein and other stuff with it and today I just had the amino’s by itself and forgot how good these tasted lol

So considering the current situation I've switched some things around.

Currently I workout twice a day (I have the time so why not) and do my strength work earlier in the day and then my cardio/circuit work at night.

Therefore I've switched to 1/2 scoop Energized Aminos pre + 1/2 a scoop during my morning session and I find it gives me a nice boost to get through the day and feel ready to go even after my training is done. 👍

With no commute anymore (besides the walk from my bed to desk) I need to switch my training up as well and lift in the AM and cardio in PM.

I've been getting creative with mixing Energized Aminos and Focus XT. I like crazy flavor combinations anyway. My favorites so far have been Blue Raspberry with Pink Star Candy and then Grape Limeade with Strawberry Limeade.

as steve said, more pink starburst... has a little more tang to it than a very sweet strawberry flavor

And you can change the amount of water you use to a little more if you don't like the tang/tartness. I like it so I use less water than most people.

Definitely true. Changing between warm and cold water makes a dramatic difference as well. I find the warmer it is, the sweeter.

Im a sweet person so I usually do about 10-12oz of room temp or warmer most times unless I really want a cold drink.
