Was always curious about this stuff... Not a bad price either.
Will tell you guys this about MP: OP, listen up... They do a lot of research and put a lot of time and thoughts into their products. I don't know all the qualifications but check the site, they pride on safety, & having a nice clean certified, banned substance free product line. I do respect them for that.

I noticed more fullness and a slight increase in pump. Vascularity was there too. I like it because I don't see any side effects from it and you dose 30 minutes before a work out which is a huge plus because you don't have to wait an hour an half like some other products. Not the strongest product out there though; if you got some extra money try it out.
(One other good thing about it is that you can stack it with a pre w.o. that has pump ingredients too, just be careful)

Overpriced (due to total ammount of supplementation and content of it in a bottle) Agmatine , Citrulline malate and an Overhyped product by the market media, when you can get around 3 months of Agmatine from sns agmatine powder and around the same for their big citrulline malate and dose it properly at 5-6g pre workout and get more bang for your buck AND better effects
.No hate for MusclePharm, but they are the typical Overpriced OverHyped , Under-dosed product that they make sure lasts less than a month so you buy more and more...Sad...

Hm cuz I saw the agmatine and I think Citrulline too? It looked good but it's a little too much. I can buy the SNS tub of agmatine for the same price

Sorry didn't see the facts. It could definitely use more Citrulline though and maybe another 250 mg of agmatine.

How many servings did you take?I noticed more fullness and a slight increase in pump. Vascularity was there too.

And its worth 3 months lol (You can also get SS agmatine which is pretty cheap and lasts for a month at a gram dose )...besides under-dosed citrulline malate is not even worth it. Now..lets see it claims it has Beet Nitrogen and that it is "scientifically studied":
I would love to see some studies behind it...just too lazy to look for it ATM , its sunday haha.

Sorry was curious as I know you don't respond to agmatine, must have been that little dose of CM.

True. I've gotten huge pumps from different things in the past. The agmatine for me when I used the SS bottle kept me more full and enhanced vascularity... Yeah agmatine by itself I dunno, Fl3x said he had the same issue. Maybe you have to take it for a month or so for it to build.
Minus the agmatine there's 1600mg of other pump ingredients in there though.

I've tried Assault and Recon. Assault is a decent enough pre-workout. It's a ton of powder, but I enjoyed my run of it. It's not my favorite pre on the market, but a solid one however. Recon tastes absolutely delicious and I did enjoy increased recovery throughout the bottle. Haven't tried anything else by them as of yet but you should be able to find reviews on a lot of their products to help make a better decision.

See its weird because I take agmatine and a scoop of c4 and I get a ridiculous pump. But when I'm out of agmatine I take yok3d and nanostim with a scoop of c4 and my pump is just average. I'm pretty pumped to take my test powder/ ad3pct stack. No more sh1tty no boosters!

Idk...some guys at my gym are all over it and go like: "Oh yeah Agmatine!! the new thing!! AWESOME!! MORE VASCULARITY!!" but its just because it is an overpriced overhyped product and they don't know anything about the supplement industry really, they just buy online or from the local retailer and care to do no research about stuff.
IMO Best way to use Agmatine for Pumps would be:
Dose 1g
30-45 mins later have a pre workout meal containing carbohydrates (complex IMO)
Proceed to workout...Since it has GDA effects to make it work better that way.
I personally use it more the GDA benefits , taking it post workout , 1g some 30mins before my post workout meal, eat a lot of carbs , and still I'll get the sweet pumps the next day (and some times even pumps when I'm eating haha)

The Citrulline malate and Agmatine combo IMO is the best way to get perfect pumps. Besides back to topic, 1.6g of extra stuff, minus the 500mg of Citrulline Malate (which does NOTHING at that dose) is just the kinda garbage they do for supps (MusclePharm), add fillers that do NOTHING for you at all at their underdosed, pixie-dust-dose-level ingredients...But then again, like I said , even guys at my gym just fall for the brand and for what the bro's and the local retailer with the three letters say to them...Its sad, I wish more people would join AM and get educated more on supps <3!

Hm interesting. I think there is too much niacin in it though feels like I'm having an allergic reaction. Probably because i just got off craze a bit ago but c4 blue razz tastes awesome.

I agree with the fillers I think assault is like 10k mg proprietary blend? Which sounds a bit shady but a ton of people love it.

Tolerant in general. Took those over maybe a 2 year span.

If you want a good pre workout with real effects on the workout (rather than just filling it with Staples and calling it a PWO with stims) take Monster Pump...IMO at least. Or go for Ultima (not stimmed but a coffee a day keeps the water flushed away).

The same monster pump buy cytosport? I heard it was good but that was from a customer. Good profile?
Celorza

Yeah good enough profile, size is good haha it lasts a while. iMO Ultima (stimless) is better. Now talking about new supps, check out PNI Prodigy, seems to me like an insane good focus, good pump formula, and it does pose endurance benefits with COP. Seems good to me

What's your rep pattern like? 12-15 should be ideal. Legs you could try lunges, that always worked for me. Shoulders more felt raises and traps I doubt you will do shrugs so try shoulder presses

Damn well I realized when I do my dumbbell presses slow I can feel it more in my traps but shrugs will do it as long as you don't roll your shoulders like I see countless guys do at the gym

Like I said go into 5/3/1 , IMO DB Presses are more to train the movement and strictly the deltoids, where as a proper form (with proper Lock) Over Head Press can hit all the heads of the deltoid, the traps and also the Triceps. Its all about how wide the grip, and how proper is the push.
I was at the gym but here is an overview of Wendler 5/3/1 program for Strength (which can also be used to gain weight, just keep kCalories high).

Honestly, buy the book, its less 100 pages, comes with EVERYTHING you need to know about the program and it gives results, my deadlift has gone up 50lbs~ on this program and my OH Press has gone from 85lbsx4 to 105x5 (I guess max should be around 115x1 but havent attempted it). This is BARBELL Overhead press though, in my assistance I already got DB Press for 65x15
