Well posting this a little later than usual do to having to wrap some Christmas gifts.... Felt never ending but to the point today was again a lighter workout i was reading articles online and some discussed lifting heavy all the time vs lifting heave and then taking a few workout lighter then hitting them hard again so i figured why not give it a shot. Although i am lifting slightly lighter and focusing a lot on form and full reps/sets this week i had great energy through the entire workout and had a great pump when it was all said and done. Shall continue this for a few more days and be back to heavy lifting before i kill off the tub !!!

I was able to workout this morning and boy did driven wake me up. I typically drink coffee in the morning but with going to the gym in the AM today I thought that it would not be a good idea to mix all that together. I got to the gym and was wide awake and had a good workout. It looked like this morning when I scooped it out that I might have 2 more workouts left with DRIVEN but ill have to measure that and check.

After a few days off stims. 1 scoop of Driven gets me stimmed out for hours and no crash makes it even better.

it was nice all the energy it gave me to wake up instead of the coffee and it kicked in a lot faster than coffee does. I was able to check and ill have enough for my workout today and there is only about a 3/4 scoop left but im gonna still use it for a workout because something is better than nothing.

Todays workout was overall pretty good I did set a PR on shoulder press.
135 x 8 Old PR
155 x 4 New PR
I did feel good in the gym energy levels were pretty moderate today I think my body is just starting to get used to the caffeine. Today was also the last full dose if you read the post above. Tomorrow will not be a full dose but will still be worth something taking 3/4 scoop that I have left. After tomorrows workout I will post how my workout went and shortly after I will start my write up of the final review.

Well todays workout was not bad. I had the whole gym to myself when I love. I did back today and it feel pretty tight right now do to some fun dead lifting. My energy level did not feel any kind of rush so to speak for today because of the low dosage im assuming. But all in all not a bad last workout for DRIVEN. I am going to start my final post here with my overall break down. Stay tuned......

DRIVEN by Menace Nutrition Overall Review:
Before I get into all of the details I would like to thank everyone at Menace Nutrition for giving me the opportunity to log their pre-workout DRIVEN. I would also like to thank everybody who tuned in and was along for the ride. It was a great experience for me and very honored to have run this as my first log on AM. But below you will find my overall thoughts in a break down of that many people can and will relate to when supplement shopping. Hope you enjoy.
Visuals: 8/10
The tub stands out no doubt about that with the word DRIVEN plastered on the front in bright yellow it stands out along with the design. I did notice that the tub does seem slightly larger than some but could be due to the label design. With the tub seeming slightly larger it does make it hard to reach the scooper. (unless my hands are just to big). When I got the tub I did notice that after unscrewing the lid the seal did not seem to be 100% secure but was on there. After taking off the rest of the seal I saw what looked almost like Kool-Aid. The powder was very fine and light which I was not used to. Typically I see more of a gritty less fine powder but every manufacture can have different processes.
Taste (Fruit Punch): 6/10
With the visual effect of this looking like Kool-Aid I was expecting a more potent taste of the fruit punch. The flavor was there but it was not very noticeable until after drinking. Even after drinking I noticed that it was still not very noticeable. Some pwo you cant even taste and there are others out there that make you feel like a lab rat tasting chemicals. That is why I rated this just above the middle because the taste is not bad at all its just the flavor. I personally like to have some flavor in the mix. If I could I would try to find a way to add a little more to the flavor,
Dosage: 3/10
When first starting to take a pwo I try to dose under what recommended is to see how my body will personally react and I can adjust from there. The directions say that a serving size is 1 scoop. I found that over the course of this log that one scoop just was not doing it for me. I was not sure why because in one scoop there is 475mg of caffeine which should be more than enough. This let me to start thinking something might be off in the blend or I was becoming a super stim junky. I started to play with the dosage and found that taking around 1.5 - 2 scoops is what did it for me personally. Now that made me happy that I was able to find that sweet spot and get what I needed out of it but at the same time it was little upsetting knowing that i would be cutting down on the days that i would be able to use it do to the higher dose. This also could lead people to be upset when they are buying the product because it could make people think they are not going to get their money out of it.... just a thought.
Pump/Energy: 7/10
During the course of this log my pump and energy levels had there good times and their bad times. There is no doubt that taking this will kick you in the butt and get you right in gear with all the caffeine in it. I did like the long lasting energy and that i did not have any type of crash coming off of this product. It was a very clean smooth energy that felt good. The pumps were obvious when I was able to get the dosing style down and correct. They were pretty hard and felt great I cant complain at all. The only reason this section took a slight hit on the rating is because of how the dosing effected.
Price:
I know that for this log i did not have to pay for the product. But when I looked at the Menace Nutrition website and saw that the pwo that i was taking was msrp at 60 bucks i could not believe it. I know that when buying a product for m the price is pretty important and plays a big factor. I personally don't know if i would spend 60 on a pre-workout. The average that i spend on a pwo is around 30-40 bucks tops. The only way i will go above that is if i know or have sampled something that i think will work great for me. If this product was at a lower price point i think that it would be more appealing to consumers who are looking to try something new. Note that i did not want to rate the price because i did receive this for free and that is the msrp price so its hard to put a number on.
To conclude this everything this above was based off of my personal experience with DRIVEN by Menace Nutrition. Any person who may be running a tub of DRIVEN their results may vary based on the individual. I hope you enjoyed my log and overall review. Thank you.
