3/5
First of all, I'd like to thank TGB for sending me the sample. I am always interested in trying new pre workouts and the added protein with this one is nice, so I was excited to try it.
Taste- The taste of this product was definitely not the greatest. It wasn't too bad, but it tasted like Blue Raspberry mixed with milk to me. Which, I kinda expected because of the whey in it. But, the taste alone wouldn't turn me away from it.
Mixability- It didn't mix very well. I shook it a few times and it looked mixed in my dark shaker, but when I was done there was a huge chunk of powder that was unmixed. I added more water and shook it quite a bit and it mostly dissolved besides one or two small chunks.
Effects- I basically got no energy or focus from this, but I do require quite a bit of stimulants to get going. The pump was okay, but I also hadn't had very many carbs, so it may work better for people who have had more carbs than I did. For the amount of BA in it, I hardly noticed any tingles which was weird. I normally do with any pre workout that has a good amount. I don't hardly ever use BA so that wasn't the issue. I did have decent muscular endurance despite the lack of energy.
Overall I gave a 3/5 because although it wasn't that great, I still only had one sample of it, which I do not think provides an accurate review on it. I would like to try it again at some point, but I don't think I would purchase an entire tub before trying it again.

Got the free sample from TGB. I like the idea of including prots in a pre, for convenience. Review:
Mixing: OK; seemed to dissolve easily, but had 1 small clump after shaking several times in a water bottle. Good for a whey product. 3/5
Taste: Blue Razz was pretty good to me. Reminiscent of the Isopure product. 4/5
Effects: Stim was effective, clean; not overpowering, no jitters, as expected from 250 mg caffeine. Did not feel any BA tingle. No laser focus - not expected from the limited profile. Pump was decent, but doesn't compare with 2 scoops of PES HV. No l-cit in this guy. Bench / chest / delts / tris session was good enough, hit my projected numbers. 3/5
Value: TGB's price is comparable to other pwo's. But the basic profile hurts again here. To cover all bases I would want to add l-cit and/or gms, and a specialized focus ingredient. 3/5
Overall: You get your creatine mono, some whey, proper dose of caffeine and a good shot of agmatine. Wouldn't throw her out!!!

TGB was nice enough to throw me a sample of this to try. Sometimes there is a beauty in simplicity. A few staples in there and perhaps an added benefit with a little protein preworkout, since I usually train fasted.
Taste 3/5:
Didn't really care for the Blue Raspberry, but that's not something that I pay much attention to anyways so moving on...
Energy 3.5/5:
Well I complimented this with a little additional coffee beforehand as I always do, so I was at least able to make my usual assessment of it based on my overall stim effect. It was as expected. Provided me with enough energy to get in a good workout. Nothing crazy, but clean and smooth. Lasted for a full 2 hour session, and even hit my cardio exceptionally hard after a good weights session.
Pump 3.5/5:
I find that pump is created through energy, so it goes hand-in-hand with how stimmed I am. It was good, but not crazy. Again, enough to make the workout effective and enjoyable.
Focus 2/5:
Nothing really even to note here. No additional mental connection other than what's provided by being stimmed up. No super-dialed in effect.
Overall I think if you take into consideration what the label says, you get what you should get out of this. Thought I would get a bigger rush from the 3.5g of Beta Alanine though, it was very faint. I do think the price is a bit steep for 25 servings though, and that would keep me from buying a full tub.

This is based off of a sample I received - thanks TeamTGB! This is a simple yet still effective product. You have to wait a little longer than expected to feel the energy come on. I didn't really feel much until about after 30 minutes maybe because it has whey in it. It's about what you would expect with the only stimulant being 250mg caffeine. It does the trick for those lower stim days. I was worried at first but ended experiencing a nice even stream of energy throughout my 60 min workout. The energy didn't last too much longer after the workout, maybe another 1-2 hours. The whey also seems to blunt the tingling effect of the Beta-Alanine. I got minimal tingles from the huge dose of 3.5g. The 5g of Creatine Mono is nice to cover your daily need for Creatine. The 800mg of Agmatine Sulfate delivered a satisfactory pump, slightly above average. I was supersetting arms so the pump should have been there whether I liked it or not. The endurance was good while supersetting and taking 30-45 sec rest between sets. The focus was non-existent but then again so were the ingredients for it. I can't complain about the 10g of whey. I was not a fan of the taste - Blue Raspberry. It was very light when mixed with 12 oz water and was a little creamy, not a big deal though. So like I said I would recommend this for lower stim days or PWO newbies. It has a some good proven ingredients.

Thank you tgb for sending me a sample packet to try out.
Taste:4/5
at first it had a very weird taste but as I kept drinking it more and more, it started growing on me. Tasted like cotton candy towards the end
Focus:3.5/5
I felt pretty focused using this product. The caffeine gave me energy and I was easily able to direct most of it towards my workout without a second thought
Pump: 3.5/5
Not much going on in this department really. 800mg of Agmatine did get me a solid pump, but my training was geared towards lower reps so it did not get a real chance to shine.
Energy: 4/5
I usually stay away from stim based products but do use them on occasion when I am having a rough start. I found that the 250mg of caffeine made me sweat a lot compared to normal preworkouts. I noticed on the package it stated that all the caffeine was from green tea, which I don't should matter chemically speaking but maybe it does? Overall it did wake me up and get me going for the workout but nothing over-the-top

Great profile on this one. Good doses of proven ingredients. I really liked this product. The only downside for me PERSONALLY was it only had 2.5 grams of caffeine in it. I am a stim junky and usually go for around 4 grams for my preworkout drink. Again, this is the only thing holding me back from giving this a 5 star rating. All other areas were a hit: Taste, mixability, and overall effectiveness were all great. Plus, bonus 10g protein with your pre is pretty awesome. Cant beat that. Overall very good product and worth a try, thank you for the chance to try it!
