First off I'd like to thank Vaughn and the entire iForce squad for hooking me up with some samples of Compete! by iForce Nutrition. I received 1 serving of Tangy Tangerine, 2 servings of Fruit Punch Slam and Lemon Drop.
I will be rating Compete! based on the 4 aspects that it geared towards: Mental Focus, Physical Performance, Recovery, and Hydration. I will also be reviewing the taste of each flavor.
TASTE:10/10
This stuff is flavored very well, out of the 3 I'd definitely have to say Tangy Tangerine is my favorite. It was similar to orange tang and orange kool-aid. This stuff was absolutely delicious, I enjoyed drinking the single serving of Tangy Tangerine for the entire time I was lifting.
Taste rating for Tangy Tangerine 20/10
Fruit Punch Slam was my least favorite of the 3, but it is in no way a bad flavor by any means. This stuff is actually one of the best tasting Fruit Punch flavored supps that I have had. I tasted like a watered down hawaiian punch. Which was really nice, since hawaiian punch is disgustingly sweet.
Taste rating for Fruit Punch Slam 10/10
Second favorite flavor I would say Lemon Drop, this is definitely similar to Hemavol Lemon Drop for those of you that have had Hemavol. However it stays true to the actual flavor of "lemon drop" candies in comparison to Hemavol. I really enjoyed Lemon Drop, at 2 scoops I felt it to be a tad too sweet even with 32oz of water(Ill just add more water next time, as it is recommended at 20oz of water per scoop).
Taste rating for Lemon Drop 15/10
MENTAL FOCUS: 10/10
At one scoop I really didn't feel an overwhelming focus, but I did notice that I was more in-tuned to whatever I was doing at that particular moment. While lifting I noticed that I was concentrating on my form more than usual not that I slack on my form, however on Compete! I made sure that I kept proper form for the duration of my lifts. While doing my HIIT I noticed that I was regulating my breathing more than I normally would. Im usually super exhausted by the end lifting when I start doing HIIT, that I don't normally mind or pay too much attention to my breathing. At two scoops the focus was a bit more intense, once again not overwhelming but a good clean focus. I definitely look forward to stacking this with Focus XT to enhance the focus aspect of both products.
PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE/ENDURANCE:10/10
At one scoop I was able to feel a difference in my endurance for the duration of my workout. I was able to get in some extra reps here and there without being fatigued to the point of exhaustion. On occasion I like to lift till failure if I am able to, and it seemed on Compete! I was able to do it more often than I normally would. At one scoop the "physical performance/endurance" aspect of Compete! really helped out much more during my HIIT sessions each day. I was able to power through my HIIT sessions with a bit more ease than I normally would. In the past at the end of my HIIT sessions I'm normally exhausted and out of breath. However after these HIIT sessions on Compete! the exhaustion and shortness of breath were both minimal. I actually felt a burst of energy after I had finished my HIIT sessions each day while on Compete!. At scoops this stuff just gets better, I definitely think that I will be able to stay at 1 scoop for most of my workouts.
RECOVERY: 10/10
Compete! definitely excelled in this category as well. I seriously felt my recovery time shortened by half in comparison to other intra-workouts. I definitely enjoyed this aspect of Compete! because I was able to get back to heavier lifting sooner that I normally would. On some occasions I have to take a light week off in between heaving lifting just to make sure I recover properly and don't snap myself up.
HYDRATION:20/10
This stuff is seriously insane for me in terms of hydration. I normally sip my intra for the duration of my workout while hitting up the water fountain pretty often, I don't like to feel an ounce of dehydration setting in. However on Compete! I felt super hydrated to the point of not going to the fountain once on each of the days I took compete. At one point I felt so hydrated I think I might have been drooling from my mouth watering. It was definitely an awesome aspect of Compete!.
OVERALL RATING AND RECOMMENDATION:10/10
QUIT READING THIS REVIEW AND GO BUY A TUB NAO, DO IT NAO!!!
Seriously though this stuff is pretty awesome, and I was thoroughly impressed by what it claimed to do and what it actually accomplished. It excelled in every category that it was made for. Vaughn and the iForce crew have something really impressive here and I look forward to each and every innovation that they bring to the industry. If you are looking for a great intra-workout that's not a BCAA product definitely go get you a tub. This stuff tastes great, and it does what it claims to do.

Are you ready to Compete!
Are you currently using 1 or 2 scoops? Are you adding 1 pre and drinking 1 intra?
