What is White Blood you ask? Well, according to the supp page, it is a "Blood Transport Enhancer!" I'm not sure what that means... but I'm going to find out.
I had my first dose today, 3 caps 30 minutes before hitting the iron. After about 15 minutes of lifting my upper body became swollen like an aroused phallic representation of some guy allergic to bees in the center of a honey farm without his Epipen. I guess that was a pump.
I'll have stats up in a bit and will be judging this product in terms of increased strength, endurance, and of course the enigmatically sought after PUMP. I'll also be on the lookout for muscle gain although I doubt that will happen sense I'm going low cal.
...
Well, my leg workout sucked bad. I was tired to begin with and wishing I still had some R4W. Oh well. I guess I'm still going through caffeine withdrawl.
Didn't notice much of a pump until the very end of my workout when I hit up the leg curls/extensions. And this is me fully loaded on creatine. I think it was just a bad workout. I mean, I remember getting better pumps than this with White Blood even without creatine. Speaking of that...
White Blood on its own provides decent pumps, about the same as creatine fully loaded. I have yet to fully experience what WB is like with creatine but will as this log continues.

Had to scrap my scheduled workout yesterday. I'm also changing my workout program to maximize energy expenditure. I'll be doing full body workouts 3 days per week in a ciruit training fashion while keeping weights heavy.
I had a workout today... full body with lots of super sets and tri-sets. Got an almost immediate pump going on. It felt as if my upper was going to float away and my legs were gonna sink like an anchor.
But the pump didn't last long for some reason... maybe because the blood had to disperse all over my body. Maybe it's because I'm retricting calories. I know one things for sure: when I used WB before restarting this log I got some insanely instense pumps that lasted.

I'm starting to feel like White Blood is under dosed. Actually, I thought it was by looking at the ingredients considering the long list and only 2000mg. I really don't think the ethyl ester of anything is potent enough to reduce the usual dosing requirement by so much. Also, the taurine is definitely underdosed even if it is just used as a synergist. I'm also assuming the k-r-ala is underdosed since a good percentage of the compound is potassium and the active is ala.
With that said, I'm trying 6 capsules instead of 3... yes, a double dose. This should definitely do the trick.
Don't get me wrong, Controlled Labs has good ingredients in their products (with the exception of caffeine in Blue Rhino), I just think that they're underdosed. Unfortunately, that's usually the price one pays for the convenience of capsules.
...
OMG!!!! The pumps from a double dose were painful. I had such extreme vascularity and tightness throughout my entire workout. I even felt a bit stronger and more driven. This was definitely one of the funnest workout I've ever had.
But I don't think a full double dose was necessary. I'm going to say that 5 capsules is the optimum dose. And really, that isn't too bad of a deal considering it'll last for 18 workouts at that dosage.
In any case, the pumps, vascularity, and added strength was crazy expecially considering how hard I am dieting right now. I guess I'll see for sure how well 5 caps does against 6 on monday. Until then...
...
SO I tried WB at 4 capsules (looking for the optimum minimum dosage), and i got a slight effect. 5-6 capsules is still the way to go in my opinion as it provided both an extreme pump, AND and increase in strength.
Howver, I've been thinking something. I've been dieting and in a weekly deficit of over 10,000 calories. This could definitely be effecting the product. I think most pump type products don't work well while dieting so in order to get a fair review, I've decided to hold off on my review for now until I get back on a more "normal" diet.
