2 scoops is a great dose. Nice job on the deadlifts.

I think I might try two scoops tomorrow too. The single scoop has just worked so well for me.

Do you notice an energy boost from it?

Do you notice an energy boost from it?

No. I'm have noticed thy since I've been using BCAA+SAA that my endurance and ability to keep the higher weights moving throughout the sessions are improved.

 

[koi1214]

No. I'm have noticed thy since I've been using BCAA+SAA that my endurance and ability to keep the higher weights moving throughout the sessions are improved.

That is what I am noticing but I associated to an energy boost.I train fasted in the morning and think this is a great product for this type of training.

cellular energy boost gentlemen, that's what this can be called..
very different (and perhaps even more useful) then a simple "energy/stimulant" type of energy boost

Glad they are working out so well for you. Yeah, I'd have to agree on taste. They knocked it out of the park on both!

Blue razz is the shiz. I like the apple at 1.5 scoops though too.

 

[turff49]

Big Blue Raz fan here! I could drink it like Gatorade several times a day...

Is it a sour apple taste?

BTW thanks again!!

Big Blue Raz fan here! I could drink it like Gatorade several times a day...

Blue Raz is good stuff.

 

[RegisterJr]

Is it a sour apple taste?

Nah, doesn't taste sour to me. Just a mild Granny Smith Apple taste...

FINAFLEX did a great job of not making it bitter. Even at 2scoops it's not too overpowering.

With the exception the OG G8, you guys really nailed your flavoring.Everything taste 10/10 great.

I have to agree. About the best tasting powdered supp I have ever tasted

I second that.

It is better then a stim boost.it really helps my endurance.

Agree with you here. I cannot go for a run without taking my BCAA/SAA.

me too

 

[TheSaiyan]

I love g8, I normally just chew the powder and down it with some water 20 minutes before bed.

I have sleeping problems that I take medication for and all and G8 is one of the best products to help get some much needed rest. Rem 8.0 is also good but you gotta be careful with that stuff, if it hasn't changed the phenibut in it can have some addictive effects.

Tangents galore, glad you are enjoying

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

G8 includes phenibut as well, I just want to make that clear. used as directed there is nothing to worry about. ive been out for several days now and have had zero side effects from stopping use.. and I use it daily not 5 on 2 off.

That's hard core

The dreaded phenibut withdraws.I never had any problems with it either.

The more you know!

I guess I've just never looked for it in chemical format.

Its strange I noticed a bit with the Ronnie Coleman/REM 8.0 but G8 feels clean as can be.

Endurance is the #1 thing I am noticing while lifting on an empty stomach.

whats your 19.5 scoop opinion?

 

[koi1214]

whats your 19.5 scoop opinion?

Effectiveness 10/10
1. I am getting a stim like boost and thanks to snagencyV2 I understand it is a cellular energy boost.
2. I am noticing my endurance is improved with my accessory lifts.IMO it is better then the 2 different -(-)epi products that I have ran.
3. Recovery I am not as sore the next day and being 48 this is a huge positive for me.
4.The taste is a 10/10.I never used any BCCAA product and can't compare.BCAA+SAA tastes/smells great and from what I have learned here most taste/smell nasty.

This pretty much sums it up to what I have noticed so far.

 

[xR1pp3Rx]

well that's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.. oke:
