:firedevil: FINAL REVIEW-PROTOCOL V2 ~CHERRY FLAVOR :firedevil:
Flavor- 9/10
Flavoring was truly on-point with Protocol V2, in my opinion it tastes just like sugar-free cherry kool-aid. Since starting my recomp I've been taking in a lot of clean calories and most of my meals are pretty bland in the flavor department so I found myself looking forward to my doses. It definitely makes it easier to stay disciplined when your drinkable supplements actually taste good.
* gave it a 9 since the actual sugar version of cherry Kool-aid is the 10
Let's hope we can see some grape flavoring in the near future! :fingersx:
Effectiveness- 10/10
Does exactly what it claims-spares muscle/strength in calorie deficit and boosts recovery rate and endurance. No claims of putting on pounds of lean muscle in weeks and no hormonal rollercoasters that yield little to no real results long term.
I personally found my endurance and post-workout muscle fullness increased almost immediately and as week 2 came to an end I could really notice the advanced recovery aspect. Having not used a postworkout formula for a little bit (2+ months) and purely focusing on my pre-workout concoctions I completely forgot how crucial post-workout supplementation was. So happy there's a product that doesn't break the bank and isn't a chore to drink that allows me to no longer have to deal with uncomfortable soreness after hard training days.
Ability to become a staple supp- 8/10
Easy to follow dosing scheme and great taste make it easy for me to make it one of my staples that I will keep in my gym bag and cupboard for as long as i can afford to.
*I did take two points off because you will need to have a shaker on hand. Still not bad but my place right now doesn't have a dish washing machine (feel like Fred Flinstone) and washing my shakers and all my other dishes by hand gets to me after a bit haha.
* mixability in shaker cup is 100% just not in a cup w/ a spoon (just like any other amino acid based supp)
Dosing-
Workout days- drink twice a day, once before pre-workout meal and again as soon as you finish with weight training.
Off days- drink one dose before breakfast and the other before lunch or dinner.
Will I use again? Yes. Bought a couple of tubs to run as a staple year round (with small breaks).
Would I recommend to others? Yes :biggthumpup:
*Please note although this is a sponsored log I have no reason to lie or hype-up a product. i already have the product free i can say anything i like about it. Anything positive I noted about this product was off my personal experience.
With that said, thank you Smitty and Genomyx for letting me try your reformulated version of Protocol. You have
earned yourselves a long-term customer. :usa2:
