Didn't plan on logging anything, but Sean needed a few more loggers and asked me if I'd run a log for him so here we are.
Have been sitting on the product for a little too long, but better late than never.
A little background for those that don't follow me on here:
Army veteran (airborne), herniated a disc a few years ago and had a pretty bad flare up back in 2014 during a strongman contest. Kept training afterwards but with no real direction, started getting back into powerlifting and did a meet back in March (totaled 1150 at 183 or something like that). Training for another meet in October out in Austin. Last meet numbers were 197.5/125/197.5 (435/275/435), failed a 473# deadlift at lockout when it fell out of my hand. I also haven't used a stimulant in a preworkout fashion since the meet prep in March, and don't typically use stimulant preworkouts.
I've been using WFR for about 1.5 weeks now, had planned to get this posted up earlier but had some long, long nights at work this past week.
Some things I've noticed (1 scoop preworkout), decent pick me up, above average pump (I don't usually notice much here, because I don't really chase it and pay attention to it), increased endurance, and a terrible, terrible aftertaste (fruit punch).
As for flavor, I'm finishing a fruit punch but will be logging the RL whenever I run out of FP (maybe 1 week?). I'm not a fruit punch fan, so some others may like this flavor, but I don't at all. It mixes fairly well (cup and spoon) and smells like it would taste good, but it is a lie. It tastes pretty good (similar to Hawaiian punch) if you just take a sip, but drinking a whole scoop leaves a pretty bad taste in your mouth for quite some time afterwards.
I don't notice a huge pick me up, although I don't typically need one. There is definitely an energy boost, and I can tell when it wears off a few hours later (while at work usually).
Couple highlights from the last week and a half of training with it (just started an intensification wave last week as well):
430# deadlift on Saturday (5# under comp best, and it was smooooth)
168kg SSB Oly Squat Monday (beltless, may be a PR for Olympic stance)
115kg Swiss Bar Bench Tuesday (also may be a PR, that bar is hard af for me)
Did some DE work today, with just 1 scoop preworkout again. Pace was fairly relaxed compared to usual, but I'm off on Friday's and can afford to take some extra rest during the assistance work.
Swiss Bench (against orange band): 62.5kg x 3 x 9 (137.5#)

Hammer Grip Chins: BW x 8 x 3, BW x 10
a1. Facepull: 40 x 20 x 2
a2. DB Row (strict): 55 x 20 x 2
Lateral Raise: 20 x 15 x 3
This was somewhere between an 65-80 minutes total, had to use the bathroom after taking white flood. Will try to pay closer attention to that and see if they are related, Alphamine usually sends me running to the toilet. Rotated the grip width each set on the dynamic work, everything moved well (as 55% should).
