Hyde Experiences The Blood Lord

Woke up with a sinus headache behind my right eye. Today had to do a full mock comp runthru for the strongman show I’ll be competing in 2 weeks in KY, so I had to drop 25mg ephedrine because this was the most important training day of the last 4 months easy. Sinuses opened up, took a full scoop of the Blood Lord, and whoa!

Awesome combo. I was worried they might not play well together, ephedrine & the other stims like DMHA. I was worried about sides like high blood pressure, heart rate or sweating profusely - nope, excellent synergy. All the normal euphoria and no bad feels (and no sinus headache while lifting!).

Killer session, almost every event I practiced was the best I’ve ever been!

Deadlift Medley (450 bar, 550 axle 18”, 585 trapbar for reps)

Carry Medley
(240 keg, 285 Husafell stone)

Yoke & Farmer’s Walk Medley
(645 & 230/hand)

Sled Drag with Rope - Tractor Pull simulation
(~1,100lb prowler pulled on rubber floor)

Overhead Medley
(235 logpress, 235 axle clean & Press, 167 sandbag press)
 
Took a 2/3 scoop today and hit back and shoulder work plus some bicep pump to help recover from Saturday. Very swoll up, pumps came on quick & was really dense by the end of the session! 5 supersets of 10 total exercises done in descending reps & ascending weight.

Probably should have taken a pic but I didn’t even think about it - suffice to say, The Blood Lord is an accurate name!
 
Took 2/3 scoop this morning and was feeling really good. Love the mood and energy I get from Blood Lord. Also love that the stim blend doesn’t have me sweating like a pig!

Hit a new lifetime best on frontsquat today and didn’t even have to chalk my shirt - most preworkouts would have my shirt soaked by the time I reach a top set:

415lbs!
 
You and kleen were racing for a front squat in the 4s right? Or was it someone else?

Either way, yousa beast doe.
 
Thanks fellas!

Yep, along with a couple others. I did win this race. I believe jswain34 & I are racing to a 650 deadlift, so I probably need to get working harder on that.

Bend that F'in bar bro! nice form!!!
 
Dang it dude, now I’m going to try this pre lol

Nice work so far! I’d like a little more Peak O2 but otherwise I was intrigued when I saw the formula and it seems to be doing a good job for you.

Honestly, I would say if you wanna try something new this is one to pull the trigger on. It’s not the world’s greatest pump blend, or mega stim, or highest-dosed ergogen formula. What this is a balanced, affordable DARN GOOD PREWORKOUT. Other than subpar taste, it has no weaknesses. It has enhanced every style of training I have tested it on, 1RM to 25 rep sets to minute long medleys, with no crash - a feel great formula.

Also nice front squat! Feel like I’ve been chasing 4 plates for forever.

Took me years on and off. Finally after failing after 3 months of fronts last winter (I did PR but you can only progress so fast) I just set them aside and learned to load atlas stones and beefed my legs up with some hypertrophy this year. Gained 10lbs, came back to test the fronts, boom.
 
Thanks fellas!

You are correct. And psh, you have plenty of time. I have to figure out where im even at first then put together a training plan. The way youre training is going now you might pull a Duffin and have a dream one night then wake up and drive to the gym and proceed to rep it for 8 or some wild shet.

Lol last week of cycle so probably gonna be a minute before any more good PRs. But it’s all a process, just like a training cycle!
 
Today I took a full scoop to run through all my events for the strongman comp next weekend. Most of the weights used today were only 70-80% of next weekend so I could just get some practice in.

Man, the Blood Lord hits strong at a full scoop! I was entirely too jazzed setting up my first event lol; probably going to stick with a 3/4 scoop to start off next weekend so I don’t just go nuts with the adrenaline then and end up attacking the judges lol

Read a few pages then jumped to here looks like this has treated you nicely so far. I may have to look into it. I need to find that go to pre again.
 
i actually backed off to 2/3 scoop after i saw how well it was still treating you... man at 1 scoop the stuff is nutz~

Yeah 2/3 is like my “get me going and get the work in” dose. A full scoop is for when you wanna feel the power!
 
Tried a half scoop of Blood Lord this morning for a bloodflow bro session - upper body, 11 total exercises 4x12 each over 4 super/giant sets.

As expected, I was filling out ma shirt pretty fierce by the end of it!!! Even a half scoop made a nice difference, and was able to shoot it in a convenient 3oz of water. I love that this stuff has no grit.
 
Been resting all week preparing for contest. Got some mobility and bloodflow in last night but no training of any kind. Fasting from food and water now to make weight tomorrow at 11am, then eating all day in preparation for Saturday!

Actually sounds like just me and the missus going this time and since we’re both lifting it could be tough to get vids but we’ll see! Unless you wanna drive to Bowling Green KY lol

That would be awesome, like facebook live or IG live for one of your events would be pretty damn cool Hyde!

Easy stuff, you were already so close.
 
Bad news boys - was warming up for the second event at the contest, and as soon as I stood up with the yoke heard a loud tear from my left elbow.

Tore my bicep right off the bone.

Met with an ortho first thing Monday morning and getting it re-attached Thursday afternoon. I will continue to train my lower body harder than ever, but all of my upper body is going to take a big setback from this.
As such, I am going to wrap this review log up since I now feel I have a full impression.
 
dude... i told you not to take 1.5 scoops!!

J/K seriously man thats terrible news. I have tore my calf and hammie a few yrs ago... not cool

I can only tell you good luck on thursday and just do what the Dr. tells you. you will be back in the saddle before you know it!~

fukin bummer.
 
FINAL REVIEW

The Blood Lord retails for $36.99 on VL’s website, and can routinely be had for less thanks to holiday sales as well as general forum discount codes. At 30 full scoops, that’s about $1/scoop. But the thing is, this stuff makes a good difference at even half a scoop, and 2/3 is routinely enough for easier sessions. So the value is definitely strong with this product.

Taste of the grape is mainly bad. It’s not the worst ever, but it’s just not good. Also, there is quite a bit of dye - if you sip the Blood Lord and don’t just knock it back, it will dye your tongue. It mixes very well with no clumping, even in a very small amount of water, so the taste and dye are easy enough to get around.

Now, for what we all really care about - the effects! At any dose, the energy is pretty smooth. For the amount of stimulation it provides the increase in sweating is minor, and there is a pronounced euphoria with use. Basically if you take the Blood Lord, you’re going to have a better time overall. Pump increase was much better on a full scoop (you know, like the directions say), but the stim package felt performance enhancing at even 2/3. At a full scoop, you really feel more on and the energy and drive never crash. The Blood Lord delivers a smooth positive experience for a good 4 hours with a gentle comedown.

This is a great product, and truly worth the asking price, because it delivers where it counts. It’s not loaded with grams on grams of the most clinically proven ergogens that succeed in driving the price up but fail to deliver on what really matters: a drink that truly fires you up to train hard & kick some ass. That’s how real results are achieved, and the Blood Lord will help you do just that.
 
Thanks for the review. enjoyed following. Now get that bi fixed and get back at it.
I tore my Bi many many years ago doing deads. Get if fixed rehad it and pay attention to any signs of irritation.
I'm still paranoid doing anything heavy that stresses my bi. But I'm old and this applies to about everything now! lol
 
Great review Hyde, hopefully I can remember this one for later when I go to get another Pre-Workout.

Keep an eye out for sales. This is so good and I’m so glad they let me log it. I would buy this truly no hesitation. The perfect feel-right stim formula.
 
how did surgery go today?
you back in the gym curling or what!?

Went very well, surgery was fast and painless and nerve block still going 28 hours later so between that and the hydro & torodol no pain. Been focusing on rest and nutrition - I want to be in the gym Monday doing some legs!
