I always tire of Montego being windy :

Monte taking in too much protein and eggs? It's ok as long as he is downwind.

Yesterday was a day off from lifting. Look what happened to my Stimul8:

View attachment 83915

The lid was NOT left off at any time and the desiccant packet was in there the whole time. It has been rainy here and the weather humid. I'm still using it this morning as I figure a little moisture is not going to hurt it. Just a note that Stimul8 is hygroscopic.

Another noted issue, after the last 5 workouts I've noticed that I'm visiting the bathroom. Stimul8 seems to have a mild laxative effect.

Test Day 12 yesterday's log day

3/4 scoop Stimul8 and BOOM, painted the house! No, only kidding! Only painted one room. I was whistling and smiling though as I was doing it! Usually I'm cussing and dreading it!

Ehhhhhh :/

 

[kenpoengineer]

No big thing here. I think Finaflex will have to add a larger(or additional) desiccant pack to the tub.

The laxative thing is "mild" but noticeable. Curious if anyone else has noticed it or is it my age? Lol.

When I use pre workouts with a large caffeine content this happens to me also. It's usually within ten minutes of taking it though.

now there's a word you do not see every day..

anyway: could be soo many things, including operator error (an unseen drop of water getting in it inadvertently etc)..hard telling, but the key here is you did not see this all throut an extended run (since you were dosing lighter than rec dosing) but rather in last small amount
:dunno:

this :tired:
the ex always wanted to redecorate one thing or another; we painted my son's room like 3 different colors within a span of a lil over a yr, back when we were together; she always had me paint, because she really sucked, was not one of her strong points at all
I HATE painting, much too anal of a guy (has to be perfect!) to have the mindset to enjoy that stuff

good feedback as usual kenpo!

Leaving this last paragraph alone.... Someone else do the honors here please.

Not me. No quote edits when it comes to family for this guy. All else is fair game.
Great feedback, as usual Mark. Still setting PRs in here. That's a good thing. Glad to read that you're enjoying Stimul8 so much.
As far as it being hygroscopic, are there any cracks in your tub, especially on the lid?

 

[3clipseGT]

Hahahaha oh goodness.

 

[kenpoengineer]

3GT is back. You were on deployment, right? Glad to have you back safe and sound!

Welcome to the "gutter" threads here, you guys crack me up! LMAO

 

[3clipseGT]

3GT us back. You were on deployment, right? Glad to have you back safe and sound!

Yeeaaaaa buddyy!!

 

[kenpoengineer]

Guys, I swear that my tub of Stimul8 has no cracks, is sealed tight and stored in a cool and dark place along with my other supplements. Also, no drops of water accidently spilled into the tub. This morning look what had happened to it but also notice there is dry powder on the sides of the tub:

The consistency is paste like. Using it anyway.

My last couple of scoops clumped up for some reason

Test Day 14
HR Avg 100 Max 148
BP After 133/76

1.5 scoop Stimul8. Last one!

Moisture didn't hurt it. Day 14 and it rocked me out of my socks again! Most stimulant type PWOs loose their effectiveness due to tolerance within a few days, Stimul8 hasn't lost any in 14 days of continuous use.

1.5 scoops=too much Stimul8tion for me! Lol

MMMM Looks like it would be like that goo candy, sour and sweet I would have probably not mixed it and licked it of the spoon.

Here comes a quote edit I can almost feel it.

It does sound like stimul8

MMMM Looks like it would be like that goo I had on my face, sour and sweet I would have probably stroked it and licked it of the tip.

Here comes the money shot I can almost feel it.

Ewwwww

Final Rating and Thoughts on Finaflex's new PWO called Stimul8.

I am a confessed stimulant PWO junkie that has tried over 10 PWOs before this test. I love the feeling it gives and like the results for my early morning workouts. With this said I was excited to beta test Stimul8 and share my observations:

Mixability: 8/10
Very slight amount of a brown ingredient left at bottom. Only took a few swirls to mix.

Taste: 8/10
Flavor reminded me of a green apple Jolly Rancher with no chemical aftertaste.

Effectiveness: 10/10
Highly stimed feeling within 15 to 30 mins after taking on an empty stomach. This PWO will launch you into orbit on just one level scoop. I train with a heart rate monitor and logged 14 consecutive days of elevated heart rate accompanied by profuse sweating and euphoria. The hang time was about 4 hours with constant, clean energy with good focus and no crash. This resulted in some great workouts followed by a strong sense of well being--I was ever so nice to my boss and coworkers on this PWO.

Results
From my first workout I managed new PRs! Couldn't believe it. I also noticed fat burning thermogenic effects from the profuse sweating. You feel tingles, then high energy then a cooling while sweating effect. It's a weird but enjoyable feeling.

Sides
If I dosed 3/4 scoop I found my sweet spot. When I used anything above 1 scoop I had some mild, repeat, mild laxative effect. There was no crash or stim dck sides like from DMAA PWO products. At 1.5 scoops the stimulation was way too high.

Other Considerations
My tub of Stimul8 did seem to absorb moisture during days 13 and 14. The powder turned into green "Hulk" paste but the effectiveness was still awesome. I think an extra desiccant pack would take care of this.

By the numbers:
Please rate on a scale of 1-5: 1=Strongly Disagree; 2 = Disagree; 3 = Neutral; 4 = Agree; 5 = Strongly Agree

1) This product was a great source of clean energy/good mood... (1-5) -5

2) This product helped me power through my training sessions... (1-5) -5

3) This product enhanced my mental focus... (1-5) -5

4) This product did not give me the jitters... (1-5) -5

5) This product tasted great... (1-5) -3

6) I really enjoyed this product and would recommend it to friends and family... (1-5) -5

A big thank you goes out to Finaflex and the AM reps for letting me beta test. I was quite impressed with Stimul8 and I desire more! Really can't wait for this to be released for sale. Finaflex, Please send the case of Stimul8 tubs to .... Me.....Now! Now! Well, you get the idea.

 

[iparatroop]

Thank you for the awesome review and log sir. I'm sure the guys at the factory will take care of whatever the issue may have been with your tub. I'm excited to get my hands on some of this stuff. I'm almost out of ignite2 so this stuff will come in real handy and at the perfect time.

 

[snagencyV2.0]
